(Continued from The Box)
After I had opened the box, unwrapped the tissue paper to find my mom’s baby sister’s bonnet and removed the tissue paper, I saw a calendar at the bottom of the box.
Carefully I lifted out the Calendar from 1927 and slowly flipped the pages. When I found the month of June, there [...]

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 my [...]

Which is where I’ve been for the last week! As I was “googling” and searching for some information, I decided that some more “clean-up” of my gedcom was in order. Or more precisely – better documentation. Since I was doing research on the Goul (and for all of those not in the know – it [...]

On February 20th, I wrote this post about my concerns over the new FamilySearch update and design. Apparently, I was not the only one who had problems and sent feedback.
On that same day, I received a total of 5 hits from these search terms: “familysearch problems”, “familysearch error 500″, “server error 500 on family [...]

One of the road blocks in locating your ancestor in the Census records occurs when we know where they are living – perhaps even have an address – but for some reason we can’t locate them. Stephen P. Morse web pages can help with many items. This site has links to Ellis Island forms, New [...]

As soon as FamilySearch came back online Thursday, I wanted to check out the tweeks they had implemented. Unfortunately every time I tried to do a search, I received a Server 500 error. I sent feedback to their Support to find out why I was having a problem. My response came yesterday and read,

To go along with my earlier post, Cleaning Up the Family File, I’ve done some additional searches using a wonderful resource – Marriages, Coshocton County, Ohio, 1811-1930 : compiled from marriage records, Probate Court, Coshocton County, Ohio. This book was put together by Miriam C. Hunter for the Coshocton Public Library in 1967. She spent [...]

Though my posts have been a little sparse in the last month or so, I’ve still done quite a bit of research. I’m attempting to clean up my family file – gather death and marriage dates and add source documentation to items I’ve found.
Luckily, I am able to access the Census records on Heritage Quest [...]

In Part 1 I discussed how Military Records can help you get a complete characteristic profile of your ancestors and collateral relatives. The WWII Registration Records (“Old Man’s Draft”) in 1942 list color of eyes and hair, type of build, and height as well as birth location and date and their signature. To a lesser [...]
