Are you in it? Are your parents in it? Who is in it that you are looking for? As we get closer and closer to the release of the 1940 US Census, I am compiling a list of those in my family who are in it. My dad – he was already in the Army [...]

My Nash Connections
Posted in geography, Life and Death, Records, tagged genealogy, Green County, Henry County, Indiana, Nash, Pennsylvania, Wilt on January 1, 2010 | 1 Comment »
The parents of my great-grandfather – Joseph Napolean Wilt – were Israel Isaac Wilt and Christine (or Christena) Nash. I haven’t delved into the Nash family very deeply and wonder if I’ve really scratched the surface. One of my resolutions, posted in I Resolved To . . ., is to pick another branch of [...]

This is a list of my ancestors who immigrated to America. Adam Goul: My 4th g-grandfather. About 1763 from Germany to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Adam was a young boy traveling onboard ship with his mother, father – Frederick, and a sister. All but Adam died on the voyage. Adam Lutz: My 5th g-grandfather. (father-in-law of Adam [...]
Found Addresses

During my most recent visit to Ohio, I came across some old address books. One appeared to have belonged to my mother from eons ago and the other was my grandparents’ that she kept after they passed away. I learned a few things by thumbing through the pages of these books. The first was that [...]
Where Are You?

Some of my ancestors were “lost” at one point or another in their lives. I find them in one census – then they are missing from the next one – and found again on the one following. Unfortunately, it is always the census that could give me that extra bit of information – children’s names, [...]
Tied Back to Germany

Yesterday, Jessica, at Jessica’s Genejournal posted this about looking for her German Ancestors since it was German-American day. Unfortunately, I was not able to post about my Germany ancestors so will be a day late with this one. Most of my ancestors originated from somewhere in Germany (or what is now Germany). Unfortunately, I haven’t [...]
Little Women
Posted in geography, Inheritance, Life and Death, personal, tagged genealogy, geography, grandmothers, mtDNA on October 4, 2008 | 4 Comments »
An article in one of my husband’s magazines explained how Family Tree DNA began. It spelled out the differences between mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) and paternal DNA. Mitochondrial DNA is passed from a woman to her children (both sons and daughters) but only to her daughter’s children through the female line. The paternal DNA is passed [...]

This is my submission for the 56th Carnival of Genealogy being hosted by Lori Thornton at Smoky Mountain Family Historian. The topic is 10 essential books in my genealogy library. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to buy a lot of the books I really should. Some I’ve checked (& re-checked) out of the local library. [...]
Trying to Bulldoze Through the Brick Walls

There have been several times in the past where I’ve come to a brick wall – more like a cement wall – unmovable and indestructable. When I’ve come to a screeching halt in my research, I’ve generally focused on either other activities or other names in my ancestry. I think it is usually a case [...]
