[[Category:WikiTree Challenge]] This page is for leaders of challenge teams. == In The Weeks Before Challenge == === Set your team up for success === * Make sure you have the links handy for your Discord room, the G2G post for your week, and the WikiTree pedigree view of the guest stars tree. * Check the WikiTree branches for your guest star. Make sure that all eight of the great-grandparents have profiles, with information and sources matching that of the comparison tree. If any of those profiles aren't open in privacy, let Eowyn or Mindy know. * Create a Space page for any documentation supplied by the guest star, photographs, and other research items you want to keep together to help your team members. * [mailto:m.silva.ky@outlook.com Mindy] will provide you with the link to your G2G post and your bounty sheet. * Mindy will give you the email addresses of your team members. You can send a message out a week before to Mindy or a co-captain, and then BCC all the team members. Give them at least a week to start researching and get ready. === Reach out to prior team members === * You might want to reach out to past team members to make sure they register. For example: :: Hello awesome Team Virginia member, :: If you haven’t heard yet, there won’t be a January marathon as the Team is starting an exciting new challenge. Unlike other challenges, this won’t be a race to get a lot of sources or creations. This will be one large team that all focuses on improving the genealogy of a guest star, with a new one being showcased each week. You can read more about it on the WikiTree Challenge help page. Team Virginia will be taking the maiden voyage on this journey so we get the additional challenge of working through any issues that crop up the first week. Several Team members are participating (including Chris), so we will have awesome support during the week. Cheryl Hess, a Project Coordinator, will co-captain this momentous event. :: It would be delightful if Team Virginia can set a great example of what can be done. I would be honored to have you join me! You can register now by answering the post in the G2G. Lets show everyone that we can rock this! == Days Before Challenge == === Email all team members === :Hello awesome team members! :The new week of the challenge is getting closer. You can use this time to look at the starting branches and figure out where you may want to start at. :Once the week starts, at noon (Eastern) on Thursday, [Day] [Month] go to the G2G post or Discord and note the ancestor you will be working on. If you have questions on an ancestor, or need to post bounty points (link), please add those as a comment under the answer for the great-grandparents in the G2G forum (link). Conversations have been lively in Discord during the week, so be sure to reach out to me if you haven't already joined the Discord Challenge room. :Lets rock this! :[Name] == During Challenge == * Help any team members that can't access the profile tracking sheet or Discord. * Watch for mentions of duplicates and try to get those merged quickly. * Make sure team members aren't working on a profile that is currently being worked. * Add to your "interesting facts" doc or server as you go along, so it isn't a large undertaking at the end of your week. Make sure that Mindy has access to it before the wrap-up Livecast is started. * Check the G2G post each day (or more) for bounty points. Those need to be added to the "Bounties" tab on your weeks spreadsheet. If you have questions regarding the points, please contact Mindy or a Team member. === Email updates to all team members === ''Please send a daily email with updated stats or encouragement, and links to the Space page and G2G post. Hello team, We are now [number] hours into the challenge and we are busting down brick walls left and right! [number] new ancestors have been found already on WikiTree, or created. There have been [#] profiles created, [#] profiles edited, with a total of [#] edits so far! You guys are rocking this! If you have a bounty to claim, make sure to post a comment under the relevant great-grandparent and put the word "bounty" with what you have found. There are a lot of new ancestors to find, so spread out if you see several people working on a set of branches. If you are waiting for a translation or other expert input, put a note in the Research section of the profile so that others know. Looking for something to work on? * Check out the Suggestion report and see what you can correct (link) * Write biographies for profiles that need it: (https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:WikiTree_Challenge_Needs_Biography) * Add categories, stickers, and templates to profiles already worked on You can reach me, or the other team members, in Discord (link). Remember to post in the G2G which profile you are working on (link). Let's get out there now and find a few more walls to knock down. === Point bounties === == Video Chat == Don't forget to mention: * What is The WikiTree Challenge? * MVP, high scores, and outstanding participants of the previous week. * How do you participate? ** G2G page ** Google spreadsheet ** Chat forum (Discord) ** Reach out to your captain with questions * How to register for next month. * Introductions - the guest stars likely won't know who everyone is * Connection between the two genealogy guest stars

[[Category:Connect-a-Thon]] {{Image|file=WikiTree_Images-30.png |align=r |size=400 }} == Connect-a-Thon == The 72-hour Connect-a-Thon is one of our biggest events. Its mission: bring the world closer together by adding missing people on our tree. It's like adding missing pieces to a puzzle. The more pieces of the puzzle we add, the more they connect. == Schedule == It's our Year of Community Connections so we're holding three Connect-a-Thons in 2023. The second one will start on Friday morning at 8:00am EDT (UTC -4) '''April 21, 2023''' and will run until Monday at 8:00am EDT '''April 24, 2023'''. Here is a '''[https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html time zone calculator]''' to find the corrresponding time in your part of the world. == Teams == For fun, participants are divided into teams. (Every participant should be on one and only one team.) If you don't have a team preference — see the list below — we will assign one that seems to fit your geographic or genealogical interests. === Current teams === ==== Countries ==== * [[Space:Team_Australia_-_2017_Clean-a-Thon|The Wizards of Aus]] '''(Australia)''' .

Captains: [[Fiscus-32|Julie Ricketts]] and [[Dodge-4214|Robin Shaules]] === Starting a team === Would you like to organize a team? Teams can be organized around anything, or just for fun. Team captains or co-captains are expected to: * Create a [[Free-Space Profiles|free-space profile]] for your team to communicate on. * Recruit for your team by replying to members who post on the {{register}} messages asking if they'd like to join your team. * Communicate with team members to encourage them and cheer on the group. * During the Connect-a-Thon, post to the team thread on G2G with updates about how the team is doing. If you're interested, email mindy@wikitree.com and let her know. If you don't have an idea for a team, she can let you know which ones are needed. == Participation Instructions == Our goal is to connect more people on WikiTree by adding missing relatives. === Scoring === Scores are '''tracked automatically'''. You do not need to use the "challenge tracker" or manually keep track of how many profiles you add. Our system counts the number of non-living family members you add. Often these will be "collateral" relatives that members neglected to add when adding their family tree. All profiles must have at least one [[Help:Sources_FAQ|valid source]]. If you have questions about what we call a Source on WikiTree and how to cite them, visit: * [[Help:Sources]] * [[Help:Sources_FAQ]] ==== Fine print ==== Creating any new profile counts as one point, with just two exceptions: # If you create a profile with no relationship to any other profile, it does not count. # If you create a profile for a living person, it does not count. For example: * Create person A with [[Special:EditFamily|Add an Unrelated Person]]: 0 points. * Create person B as the spouse of person A: 1 point. * Create person C as the child of person A: 1 point. * Create person D as the parent of person B: 1 point. For scoring purposes it doesn't matter if profiles are [[Special:Connection|connected to the big tree]] or [[Help:Unconnected|not]]. Every missing family member we add increases the chances of connecting people. Note that our scoring counts new profiles. If you add a relationship between existing profiles, no points are awarded. === Ideas for where to work from === You can start anywhere! Here are some ideas. * '''Use the [https://apps.wikitree.com/apps/nelson3486/connections/ Missing Links] app''' to see relatives who might be missing. * '''Start from [[Special:WatchedList|your Watchlist]]''' ** One of the easiest ways to participate is to work on building out your own family lines. Sometimes we focus so much on our direct lines that we forget about the collateral ones. You can work on building outward, not just upward or downward. * '''Work on your [[Special:Unconnected|Unconnected Profiles]]''' **If you [[Special:Unconnected|click here]] you will see a list of the people on your Watchlist who are not yet connected to the main tree. You can sort that list several ways, and also limit it to a particular surname. If you click on the highlighted word "total" in the first paragraph on that page, you will see a list of all unconnected profiles on WikiTree, which works the same way. * '''The [[:Category:Needs_Profiles_Created|Needs Profiles Created]] Category''' **This category collects profiles that have sources for family members but these family members have not been added yet. For example, a member might have only created a profile for one child in a census and there are other children listed. * Other ideas: ** The [[:Space:Connectors_Chat|Connectors Chat]] lists the [[:Space:Connectors_Chat#Largest_Unconnected_Branches|largest unconnected branches]] on WikiTree, unconnected branches which are particularly [[:Space:Connectors_Chat#Challenging_Unconnected_Branches|challenging]], and [[:Space:Connectors_Chat#Unconnected_Notables|unconnected notables]]. ** [[Space:DBE_Unconnected|Data Doctors DBE Unconnected]] has reports for different countries in the world showing unconnected branches. ** More [[Space:Places_to_find_unconnected_profiles|places to find unconnected profiles]].

[[Category:WikiTree Challenge Interesting Stories]] During the [[Help:WikiTree_Challenge|WikiTree Challenge]], our volunteer researchers worked collaboratively for one week on the family tree of business tycoon [[Musk-15|Elon Musk]] to find missing ancestors and interesting stories to share. One aspect we discovered among some of Elon’s ancestors was their deep connection to the Mennonites. To understand that, we needed to know a little more about Mennonite history. {{Image|file=Photos_for_WikiTree_Challenge_Stories.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption=''Anabaptist Baptism }}Mennonites are Anabaptists which are a branch of Christianity. They grew out of the 16th Century Radical Reformation which followed the Protestant Reformation. Anabaptists aren’t Catholic or Protestant but they do share some beliefs. The major difference and cause for the Anabaptists to begin to separate from the state church was that they began re-baptizing adults as well as refusing to baptize infants. At that time, however, infant baptism wasn’t just an accepted practice, it also bestowed citizenship. Mennonites are named for Menno Simons, a Dutch priest who grasped onto the Anabaptist theology. {{Image|file=Photos_for_WikiTree_Challenge_Stories-1.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=''Anabaptist Burning }} As early as 1530 officials killed Anabaptist leaders, in an effort to purge Europe of what they considered to be a cult organization. Catholics imprisoned and burned Anabaptists as apostates. Lutherans exiled or beheaded them for blasphemy and sedition. Calvinists imprisoned and drowned them for sectarianism. These persecutions continued on into the 17th century and Elon’s ancestors were not left untouched. We looked at Elon’s ninth great-grandfather, [[Haldimann-14|Christian Haldimann]]. Born about 1625 in Steffisburg, Bern, Switzerland, Christian would later marry his second wife, Barbara Wyss there, on November 28, 1651. In July of 1673, Barbara was banned from Steffisburg for being an Anabaptist. After these accusations, constables went to the Haldimann home to arrest her. Outraged, Christian cried out loudly as he picked up a simple fork and waved it menacingly at the officers. For this action he received a prison sentence as well as a hefty fine of 200 pounds imposed by the bailiff of Thun. Many of the Anabaptists leaders, known for their pacifism, often fled their homelands instead of staying and fighting for their beliefs. In the mid-1600s, around 700 Mennonites emigrated from Zurich, Switzerland to Germany to try and start new lives. {{Image|file=Herr-99.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption=''Hans Herr }}Among those was Reverend Hans Herr, Elon’s 9th great-grandfather. Hans was born in 1639 in Zurich, Switzerland to Hans Christian Herr and Catherina Haas. He’s been described as “of medium height, with long gray hair curled under at ends and parted in the middle; had heavy brows, dark hazel eyes, aquiline nose, mouth rather small with heavy lips, his complexion was florid, with full beard covering the face, the whole lighted by a countenance in which sweetness and austerity were gracefully blended.” In 1660, he married Elizabeth Kendig, with whom he would have eleven children. Not so fortunate, was another Anabaptist preacher from Zurich, [[Oberholtzer-21|Martin Oberholtzer]]. Martin happens to be connected to Elon via marriage. In about 1644, he was martyred, drowned by followers of the leader of the Protestant Reformation in Switzerland, Ulrich Zwingli. Incidentally, Ulrich is Elon’s 15th great-uncle. Martin’s son, [[Oberholtzer-40|Marcus]] and five of his brothers migrated from Switzerland around the same time as Hans and his family. They fled after Marx’s home was raided and he was finded for hosting an Anabaptist church in their home. Hans and the others left most everything behind and upon arriving in Germany became simple tenant farmers. Hans and his family lived in a large house along with 12 other families and rented the land they farmed from a Lord Von Venninge. {{Image|file=Penn-40-5.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption=''William Penn at 22 }}In 1709, an incredible opportunity presented itself to Hans and his family through an invitation of [[Penn-40|William Penn]]. Born in 1644 in London, England, William was the son of Sir William Penn, and English admiral and landlord and Margaret Jasper Vanderschuren, daughter of a merchant. Even though he was a member of a distinguished family and son of a knight, William joined the Quakers at the age of 22. Persecuted for his beliefs, he was even imprisoned in the Tower of London for seven months between 1668-69 for pamphleteering and refusing to swear an oath of loyalty to the King. On June 24, 1680, Penn asked [[Stuart-4|King Charles II]] if he could have a charter for land in America. The only available tract in eastern North America at the time was west of New Jersey, north of Maryland, and south of New York. It was an area that England had conquered from the Dutch in 1664 and which the King had given to his brother James, the Duke of York. After several discussions King Charles granted William's request on March 4, 1681. Even though as a Quaker and a Mennonite, William and Hans did not see eye to eye in their beliefs, they were both desirous live in a land that offered religious freedom. So when William invited Hans and his family to travel with him to America, the Revered Herr was eager to accept. They traveled to London and after waiting for 10 weeks, Hans, his son Christian’s family and four other Mennonite families, including the grandson of Martin Oberholtzer, were finally able to board the Mary Hope on June 24, 1710. There were twenty-nine of them along with several Quaker families. After boarding, the six families wrote a letter to Mennonite leaders in Amsterdam thanking them for travel assistance they’d provided. It reads as follows:

''Worthy and Beloved Friends:

''Besides wishing you all temporal and eternal welfare we have wanted to inform you how that we have received that financial aid which the dear friends out of their great kindness of heart have given toward our journey. And this kind contribution came very opportunely to us, because the journey cost more than we had imagined. God bless the worthy friends in time and eternity; and whatever may be of good for the body and wholesome for the soul may the merciful God give them and continually be and remain their rewarder. But of our journey we report that we were detained almost ten weeks, before we were put on board ship; but then we actually entered into the ship on the 24th, were well lodged and well cared for, and we have been informed we will set sail from here next Saturday or Sunday from Gravesend, and wait there for the Russian convoy. God be with us, and bring us to land in America as happily as here in England. Herewith we commend you to the merciful God; and, should we not see one another in this life, may God permit us to see one another in eternity. Wherewith we commend you all to the merciful God (together with courteous greetings from us all) and remain your true friends. London, the 24th of June, 1710.''
''Jacob Miller,
''Martin Oberholtzer,''
''Martin Maily,''
''Christian Herr,''
''Hans Herr,''
''Martin Kindig.'''

As stated, the Mary Hope set sail shortly after this on what was described as a beautifully calm Sunday.” However, they soon encountered a rough storm that made many passengers seasick, broke several masts, and sent them back to London for repairs. Back at sea, they joined a convoy of Russian battleships for protection as this was during the War of Spanish Succession. After the Russians left them, they were frightened by the appearance of several French warships. Thankfully, a heavy fog rolled in and the Mary Hope slipped away. The group arrived in Philadelphia on September 23, 1710. They spent the winter with Mennonites in Germantown and in the summer of 1711, the men walked the 45 miles to the land they’d purchased from William Penn in the Pequea Creek area. Once the trail was cleared, the rest of the families arrived by horse and the wagon trail known as Conestoga Road or Allegheny Path was now open.Chests of supplies from Germantown could be delivered by wagon. {{Image|file=Photos_for_WikiTree_Challenge_Stories-3.jpg |align=l |size=m |caption=''Hans Herr House }} As we mentioned, Hans’ son Christian, Elon’s 9th great uncle, also made the journey. Like his father, he too was a Mennonite reverend. In 1719, Christian built a stone house that was large enough to invite all the Mennonites for worship service. He named it the Hans Herr House after his father. It is the oldest Mennonite meetinghouse in America and would become the nucleus for what is now the Willow Street Mennonite Congregation. The house still stands today and is a museum open to the public. Hans, Christian and their families stood by their convictions and braved unfamiliar territory to create the world they wanted. In his own way, Elon Musk has followed in their footsteps to try and create his.

[[Category:WikiTree Challenge Interesting Stories]] During the [[Help:WikiTree_Challenge|WikiTree Challenge]], our volunteer researchers worked collaboratively for one week on the family tree of business tycoon [[Musk-15|Elon Musk]] to find missing ancestors and interesting stories to share. Curious about the name Elon, our researchers learned not only its meaning but also that our Elon was not the only one in his tree. Hebrew for “oak tree”, the billionaire business magnate shares his given name with both his great-grandfather, [[Haldeman-70|John Elon Haldeman]], and his 3rd great grandfather, [[Powers-6905|Elon Powers]]. John Elon, born in 1871 in Illinois was a teacher while Elon Powers, born in 1803, was a farmer from New York. Teachers and farmers are common finds and those are nice but there are usually a few naughties who pop up as well and there was no exception in Elon’s family. Our researchers did not have to look too far into his branches to find ancestors who ranged from mischievous to unscrupulous. {{Image|file=Photos_for_WikiTree_Challenge_Stories-1.png |align=l |size=m |caption='' }}First, [[Fletcher-11359|Harold Fletcher]], Elon’s great-grandfather on his mother’s side. Harold grew up in Toynton All Saints, Lincolnshire, England. His antics as a youth put him in the mischievous category. On April 6, 1900, The Stamford Mercury reported on a court case involving the young man who would have been 15 at the time. Harold, along with two other boys, Harry Bradshaw and George Alliss, were charged with loitering and smoking near the chapel during divine service on March 25th of that year. The boys were admonished and fined 4 shillings and 6 pennies. {{Image|file=Photos_for_WikiTree_Challenge_Stories-2.png |align=r |size=m |caption='' }}Also falling under the category of mischievous, petty crimes is Elon’s fifth great-grandfather, Stephen Pope. Stephen was born about 1770 in Hampshire, England and in his later years was one of the many landlords of the Prince Regent pub in West Cowes. Whether while under his stewardship or not, it’s been noted that this building was used by a “rough class” and often featured in local newspapers for theft, drunkenness, child neglect and even selling beer to an underage child. Stephen’s crimes were much less severe. Though the law stated pubs could not be open past 9pm , Stephen on at least one occasion was caught keeping it open later and was fined 5 pounds. Years later, he was once again accused of not respecting the law. This was not surprising as one article described him as a “decrepit old man who has appeared before the bench nearly a dozen times lately”. A Mr. John Hayward testified that he witnessed Stephen in Mr. Roper’s beer store after the 9 o’clock hour. Scandalous! Pope was able to explain the encounter, however, stating that he was merely standing in the doorway talking to the owner and not purchasing any alcohol. The Magistrates believed him. For a more serious incident, we look to Elon’s ninth great-grandfather, [[Haldimann-14|Christian Haldimann]]. Born about 1625 in Steffisburg, Bern, Switzerland, Christian would later marry his second wife, Barbara Wyss there, on November 28, 1651. Barbara was an Anabaptist, a member of a radical movement of the Protestant Reformation. Anabaptists today are known as Mennonites, Amish and Baptists, among other things. As early as 1530 officials killed Anabaptist leaders, in an effort to purge Europe of what they considered to be a cult organization. Many of these leaders, known for their pacifism, often fled their homelands instead of staying and fighting for their beliefs. {{Image|file=Photos_for_WikiTree_Challenge_Stories-3.png |align=l |size=m |caption='' }}These persecutions continued on into the 17th century and Elon’s ancestors were not left untouched. In July of 1673, Barbara was banned from Steffisburg for being an Anabaptist. After these accusations, constables went to the Haldimann home to arrest her. Outraged, Christian cried out loudly as he picked up a simple fork and waved it menacingly at the officers. For this action he received a prison sentence as well as a hefty fine of 200 pounds imposed by the bailiff of Thun. Read more about [[Space:Elon_Musk%27s_Mennonite_History|Elon's Mennonite Ancestors here]]. Finally we go to Elon’s unscrupulous fourth great-grandfather, [[Barter-827|Isaac Barter]]. Isaac was born about 1816 in Barton Stacey,England, to John Barter and Sarah Head. He married Fanny Mack in 1835 and together they had two children, Mary Ann and Lucy. Isaac has been described as being 5 feet 7 inches tall, having a large and round head, with dark brown hair, no whiskers, dark brown eyebrows, dark brown eyes, a small nose, with a hairy mole on his left cheek. {{Image|file=Photos_for_WikiTree_Challenge_Stories-5.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption='' }}In early 1840, Barter was held over for trial for participating in the assault of Eliza Carter the year prior. On February 27, 1840, Isaac was sentenced to the death penalty but that sentence was commuted to transportation for life. November 30, 1840, he was transported to the penal colony on the island state of Tasmania aboard the ship Lady Raffles. You would think that a life sentence to a penal colony would keep someone out of trouble, but this was certainly not the case with Isaac. On the 25th of December 1845, he was charged with unlawfully, feloniously and with malice aforethought, taking up a fork and jabbing it into the left side of the neck of another colonist, Alexander Mickie. The wound was a mortal one, and Alexander died then and there. You would think that two life sentences on a penal colony would keep someone out of trouble but, again, this was not the case with Isaac. Even after receiving 36 lashes, he still continued on with an air of disrespect. Multiple charges were issued for improper fires, disobedience, insolence, and neglect of his person, including the theft and improper possession of a dead sheep. Isaac received nineteen charges in total and additional time added on to his life sentences. He really was a Tasmanian devil! {{Image|file=Photos_for_WikiTree_Challenge_Stories-4.png |align=l |size=m |caption='' }}As the saying goes, there is someone for everyone, and this proved to be true even for Isaac Barter. He found love with Ann Mary Jones, and they were married January 23, 1860. Interestingly this seemed to be the end of Isaac’s troublemaking days, as there were no further filings of any misconduct. Isaac lived until at least the age of 80. The end of his life was spent in the New South Wales, Australia, Hospital and Asylum. He was an infirm and destitute patient suffering from senile decay, his lawless days nothing more than a distant memory.

== Isaac Barter Sentencing == There are numerous reports in the newspapers stating that [[Barter-827|Isaac Barter]] was to be executed on 21 March 1840 after receiving the death sentence at his trial on 27 February 1840. That sentence was commuted to transportation for life. He was transported to Tasmania on 30 November 1840. The term sentenced was for life. Isaac was transported to Van Diemens Land on 30 November 1840 arriving on 17 March 1841. His [https://convictrecords.com.au/convicts/barter/isaac/99577 occupation] at that time was listed as a ploughman/farm laborer. He was convicted at the Southampton Assizes in Winchester and received the death sentence for participating with four other men in an assault (rape) on Eliza Carter on 28 July 1839. ==='''Convict Transportation'''=== "Australian Convict Transportation Registers – Other Fleets & Ships, 1791-1868"

[[Category:Cameron, West Virginia]] [[Category:WikiTree Challenge Interesting Stories]] [[McConaughey-3|Matthew's]] Uvalde roots have been mentioned a lot in the news lately, but his roots in Cameron, West Virginia, run even deeper. Long before the "Dazed and Confused" actor was making a name for himself with things like "Alright, alright, alright", some of his McConaughey ancestors came to America to try and make a name for themselves. [[McConaughey-87|David McConaughey]] was born about 1750 in County Tyrone, Ireland. He married [[Lindsey-6419|Martha Lindsey]], who was born about 1765 in Lisnacrieve, Ireland. These are Matthew's 4th great-grandparents. Together, they had five children. {{Image|file=Photos_for_WikiTree_Challenge_Stories-5.png |align=l |size=xl |caption='' }} Of the five, only two came to America: [[McConaughey-84|Robert]], the oldest, and Matthew's 3rd great-grandfather, and [[McConaughey-91|David]], the youngest, Matthew's 3rd great-uncle. Based on the birthdates of his two oldest sons, we figure Robert and his family came to America between 1814 and 1821. David may have come over at the same time, we don't know for sure, but we do know that he was in America by 1846 as he married [[Davis-99632|Anne Davis]] that year in Belmont, Ohio. At some point both brothers found their way to a little unnamed town in West Virginia. {{Image|file=Photos_for_WikiTree_Challenge_Stories-6.png |align=l |size=m |caption=''Cameron, West Virignia }} A Mr. Himes was one of the first to settle there in 1788, on property that would eventually belong to the McConaughey family. A Himes family anecdote relates that in that same year the family procured a basket of apples from Pennsylvania. The fruit was considered a luxury at the time and so it was distributed sparingly among family members. One of the young boys accidentally managed to choke on the core of his apple. Once it was removed, another family member, driven by curiosity, took the seed from the core and planted it. This seed grew into a large tree that is still standing today on one of the McConaughey farms. David and Anne, among the first of the early settlers, bought a tract of land on what is now the main part of the town and he and Anne moved into their new home. He erected the first building on Grave Creek. {{Image|file=Photos_for_WikiTree_Challenge_Stories-6.jpg |align=r |size=m |caption='' }} By the late 1820s, there were more settlers arriving in this area. Around this same time the construction of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was beginning. David McConaughey realized the potential for their little town if this new railroad had a stop there. He, along with some other prominent men in the town, went by stagecoach to Baltimore to use their influence to make this happen. The trip was a success and as anticipated, the little town became one of importance. The railway was finished in 1852 and it was at this time the honor of naming the town was conferred upon David McConaughey. A prominent railroad official by the name of Samuel Cameron, who was a right of way purchasing agent with the company, came to check the area out. As a good friend of David, Samuel suggested that the town be called McConaughey but David rejected that idea saying kids would have to graduate eighth grade before they'd be able to spell it. So, instead, David chose to name the town Cameron, after his friend. Sadly, Samuel died the next year of cholera. David, appointed by [[Pierce-177|President Pierce]], was the first postmaster of Cameron village. He held the office for several years until 1857. He and Anne both lived the remainder of their lives in Cameron, until his death in 1874 and hers in 1900.

It is easier if you open the document twice, and scroll down to that list on one of them. #** Type the first name of the Guest over [Guest] in that section.

The windmills were particularly endangered by fire, but the existing fire insurance established in 1754 ruled them out because the risk was too high. It was Jhering's idea, with special contributions, to make the risk calculable. Forty mill owners joined the Company and after a quarter of a century there were 113. (Entered by Albasini-30) # [[Jhering-1|Georg Albrecht Jhering]], Olivia's 3rd great Grandfather, realized his father had made a mistake in managing the village of Jheringsfehn and took over the administration from him, continuing very successfully from then on. His measures included the expansion of the Fehn canals between 1804 and 1819, through which the mined peat could be marketed more quickly. His success was reflected in the development of the population of Jheringsfehn: in 1788 there were 133 inhabitants, in 1813 there were already 398.

He accompanied Christian Eberhard von Ostfriesland and his mother the regent princess, on their numerous journeys. In Vienna, Bacmeister succeeded in curing the Prince, who was seriously ill with smallpox. Bacmeister was mainly responsible for the medical care of Christian Eberhard, who ruled from 1690, since he was always susceptible to illness and required constant medical supervision. In addition, he took over the free medical care of the poor in Aurich on behalf of the Princely House. After Prince Christian Eberhard died in 1708, his son and successor Georg Albrecht von Ostfriesland also placed his full trust in Bacmeister and took him on as his official personal physician for life. During the many years at the princely court in Aurich, a deep relationship of trust and friendship had developed between Eberhard Bacmeister and Prince Christian Eberhard, as well as later with his son Georg Albrecht, as a result, the prince appointed him government councilor in his government college.

Heinrich Sigismund Bacmeister tried to resist to the accession of King Frederick II of Prussia to the throne in favor of the princess Friederike Wilhelmine von Ostfriesland, the aunt of the last prince.

From then until his death, despite all the political upheavals, he remained the highest medical official in East Frisia, which first belonged to Prussia, then Dutch, French, Prussian again and finally became part of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1815.

[[Doherty-2064|Melanie McComb]] # In the seventh degree, [[Frick-776|Ford C. Frick]] was the uncle by marriage of Mark's great-uncle by marriage. He became public relations director of baseball's National League in 1934 and then NL President. Frick was instrumental in founding the Baseball Hall of Fame in the late 1930s. He helped to ease tensions and strike threats during the racial integration of the major leagues, threatening to suspend any players staging protests of Jackie Robinson's debut with the Brooklyn Dodgers. He was the third commissioner of Major League Baseball (1951–1965). [[Lowe-866|Lowe-866]] 19:05, 7 October 2022 (UTC) #Mark's 3rd great grandfather [[Hull-8657|Hiram Hull]] published an advertisement in 1825 stating: "NOTICE. It is the request of the subscriber, that his FRIENDS and COUSINS should suspend their visits for two years. HIRAM HULL. Bennington, Sept. 20, 1825." The reason for the ad? He was in prison for two years.[[Thiel-559|Homer Thiel]] #Another interesting fact about [[Hull-8657|Hiram Hull]] was that in 1851 he wrote an account of his War of 1812 service that survives in his pension file.

We know the village because it was recorded in his Army records. One of the oldest Catholic Churches in the region was built on the Hamil family’s farm.

Google translate it to "A man rich in every way, and abounding in wealth, I wish you would go to the party." but it could also be translated to "A man rich in every way, and abounding in wealth, I wish I could be part of it". #Mark's 8th great grandfather [[Esbjörnsson-51|Peder Esbjörnsson (abt. 1628 - 1724)]] got a last message from the priest in his death record: "Har warit en mäkta wacker Man i sitt lefwerne."

([[Svensson-5180]]) #Mark's 2nd great grandfather's brother [[Rhoades-1736|Jacob Rhoades]] filed a lawsuit in 1852 in New York over a piece of land purchased in 1808. The lawsuit was against his mother, siblings, a brother-in-law, nephew, and two nieces, all of whom were named in a newspaper advertisement. This provided proof of the family relationships.[[Thiel-559|Homer Thiel]] #Mark's 3rd great grandfather [[McNulty-1366|Michael McNulty]] sailed with his wife Margaret and four-month-old son James from Liverpool, England to New York City in 1839. The ship's manifest reveals that the family brought a chest, a trunk, and bedding with them to their new home in Cumberland, Maryland. [[Jenkinson-562|Heather Jenkinson]] # [[Rhodes-3836|Alice Rhodes]] married two Military Men [[Johnson-43025|Luther Johnson]] and [[Andriesen-22|Johannus Andriesen]].

His first wife [[Jönsdotter-6592|Kjerstina]] suffocated their first child to death in the night. It was 18 days old. The record doesn't say if it was intentional or accidental. Kjerstina died a couple months later on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lucy's_Day Sankta Lucia Day] of 1760. Hans remarried on Midsommar the following year. As part of his marriage contract to his second wife, he agreed to provide his nephew (that is, his deceased wife's brother's son) an inheritance of one brown cow ("''en brun koo''") worth 18 daler. [[Johnson-45412|Marta Johnson]] # [[Johnsdotter-131|Maria/Mary (Johnson) Nelson]], the sister of Mark's great-grandfather Swan, like the majority of Swedes in Sweden, was a member of the Lutheran church. She immigrated with her family to the USA where, 11-or-so years later, she married fellow Swedish emigré [[Nilsson-11040|Per Nilsson / Peter Nelson]]. They married in a Lutheran church in Minnesota in 1896. Not only was Peter a fellow Swedish emigré, he had been born on a farm just 15 miles (24 km) away from Mary's own birthplace in Skåne. Soon after their marriage, they moved to Chicago where Peter attended seminary to become a Baptist minister. He became prominent serving Swedish Baptist communities from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic states. Their son [[Nelson-29099|Reuben Emmanuel]] followed his father into the ministry, attended Yale University, received an honorary doctorate in theology, and held top positions in the American Baptist Convention. [[Johnson-45412|Marta Johnson]] # A number of Mark's ancestors in Sweden -- for example his 5x great-grandfather [[Nilsson-11038|Måns Nilsson]], 5x-great-grandfather [[Andersson-17361|Pål Andersson]], and 6x-great-grandfather [[Jonsson-9587|Oluf Jonsson]] -- were ''rusthållare'' (from the Swedish ''rustar'' meaning "to arm or equip".) This was a particular title in Sweden for a farm-owner or landowner (often noble class or wealthy) who, rather than paying basic taxes to the Crown or being called up to fight in the military, was instead responsible for equipping and maintaining a cavalry soldier -- both horse and rider. They were an important part of Sweden's military allotment system in which the costs of maintaining the military were distributed and shared more locally. See also: [https://wiki.rotter.se/index.php?title=Rusth%C3%A5ll Rusthåll] (in Swedish) [[Johnson-45412|Marta Johnson]] # Mark's 4x great-grandfather [[Jonsson-9538|Jon Jonsson]] (b. 1758) was born 5 days after his father died.

== WikiTree Challenge Challenge 2 == '''Guest Star''': [[Gilmartin-164|Paul Gilmartin]] === Notes From Guest === * (Re Ethnicity) Yeah, my dad’s side is from Ireland. My great-grandfather migrated from Ireland. According to Ancestry.com my family can be traced back to the border of Ireland and Northern Ireland. And my mom’s family, I’m not sure who emigrated from France, but they settled in the French part of Maine, right on the Canadian border. * (Interesting stories?) My father kept telling the story about my great-grandmother, was in church and collapsed and died. Not really a great story. * (Want to know more?) I’ve always been kind of curious about my mother’s father. He was a bit of a mystery. My grandmother told him to hit the road because he didn’t want to hold down a job, and moved to California, I think with the dream of being an animator, which I don’t think he really did. * My father’s father was a very successful insurance agent. He had his own agency. I think my dad said he was making $30,000 a year during the height of the depression, which was a lot. He was an alcoholic and verbally abusive. … These stories are not warm and fuzzy. === Photographs === : Note: Please check with your captain, [[Smith-159364|Cheryl (Smith) Hess]], if there are any questions about the images being protected by copyright. === FHL Lookuips === * === '''Resources''' === * [https://acadianvillage.mainerec.com/index.php/the-morneault-house Morneault House] information ==== Canada ==== * [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/location/1927164?region=Canada&englishRegion=Canada FamilySearch Canada] * [https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/land/land-petitions-lower-canada-1764-1841/Pages/search.aspx Land Petitions of Lower Canada, 1764-1841] * [https://www.genealogiequebec.com/en/tools/marriages-and-deaths-1926-1997 Marriages and Deaths] * [https://www.genealogiequebec.com/en/lafrance Roman Catholic parish records] ====Ireland==== * [http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ Census Records of Ireland] NationalArchives.ie * [http://libertyellisfoundation.org/passenger Ellis Island Passenger Database] on Irish-Genealogy-Toolkit.com * [https://genealogy.nationalarchives.ie/ Genealogy Records] on Genealogy.NationalArchives.ie * [https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/irl GENUKI] on GenUki.org.uk - ''This has links to records, maps, and research tips * [https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Ireland_Church_Records Ireland Church Records] ''Where to find church records with various links * [https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/1584964 Ireland Marriages] on FamilySearch * [https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Ireland_Census_Substitutes Ireland Census Substitutes] ''What census records are available, with where to find them * [https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/lessons/ireland-emigration Ireland Emigration] ''Video on FamilySearch on finding the origins of Irish Immigrants * [https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Ireland_Online_Genealogy_Records Ireland Online Genealogy Record] Links. * [https://www.johngrenham.com/ Irish Ancestors] ''This maps out where surnames are located, as well as locations in general * [https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ Irish Genealogy] on IrishGenealogy.ie * [https://www.irishgenealogy.ie/en/ Irish Records] ''Civil and Church record database * [http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ National Archives of Ireland] ''Try their [http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/search/ census search] * [https://www.nli.ie/ National Library of Ireland] ''a new database holding images of the Library's Roman Catholic parish registers * [https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/proni PRONI] ''the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland * [https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/lessons/tracing-irish-roman-catholic-ancestry Tracing Irish Roman Catholic Ancestry] ''An overview of how to approach Roman Catholic research * [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Ireland WikiTree Ireland Project] ''Check for resources and stickers * Tip: The census records are a good start, and you should be able to find images of all the birth records for each child on irishgenealogy.

We will also be voting at the end of the week to pick the top stories. # Paul's maternal great grandfather, [[Fisher-25846|Frank E. Fisher]] (possibly Francois Xavier Buissoneire) was a dealer in horses, carriages and sleighs in Fort Fairfield and Grand Isle, ME and for a time owned a hotel in Grand Isle. He and his wife Nellie had twin daughters, Essie and Agnes, born prematurely in 1893; they both died within a day. (It was called the Frank E. Fisher Boarding House & Restaurant. He owned it from 1908-1912. (I'm waiting on permission to use this photo - https://img1.wsimg.com/isteam/ip/c84753f9-1d1b-46b8-b8db-6a7804a7c05b/legacy/week_3_photo_1.jpg [[Langholf-2|Langholf-2]] 20:23, 26 January 2022 (UTC))) # Paul's cousin [[Gilmartin-175|Rosemary (Gilmartin) Smolker]] was managing editor of a prominent Biology publication. Her husband, Robert E. Smolker, was a co-founder of the Environmental Defense Fund and played a large role in banning DDT in 1972. ( I will be adding his profile with a link to a Newspapers.com clipping of his obit soon) https://www.newspapers.com/clip/93045752/robert-e-smolker-obituary/ #About 5 months before Pauls' Great grandfather [[O'Donnell-3978|Joseph Ignatius Stanislaus O'Donnell Sr. (1873-1948)]] was born, his next oldest sister, [[O'Donnell-4015|Kate O'Donnell (1871-1873)]], was killed when she was run over by a passenger railway train at the age of 2. In fact all 3 of the Joseph's next oldest siblings died before he was born. #Paul is named after his third great grandfather, [[Cyr-949|Paul Cyr, Jr.]] and his fourth great grandfather, [[Cyr-594|Paul Cyr, Sr.]]. #His great great grandfather, [[Cyr-1291|Alexis Cyr]], was named in memory of Alexis's uncle, Alexis Cyr (1799-1823), who drowned along with his cousin [[Thibodeau-671|Helaire Thibodeau]] on 1 December 1823. Find A Grave memorial is at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/180312610/alexis-cyr. # [[Gowley-3|Anne (Gowley) Gilmartin (abt.1813-1875)]] did not get along with some of her neighbors once she was a widow. There are numerous complaints filed between her and two others for cattle, a mule, four pigs, and twelve geese trespassing on the others property. The final case was heard in 1873, less than two years before she died. # Paul's great uncle, [[McCoy-9434|John Patrick McCoy (1867-1937)]] had a business manufacturing chaplets, which are "small metal insert or spacer used in molds to provide core support during the casting process." Philadelphia Chaplet and Manufacturing Co, Inc. He incorporated it in 1909. In 1920, 2 of his son's were working in the business, his daughter was a music teacher and another son was a newspaper reporter. His brother [[McCoy-9437|Joseph F McCoy (1892-1977)]] also was a machinist and listed the company as his place of employment in his draft registration for WWI. # Paul’s great-grandma Mary had a brother [[McCormick-7435|James J. “Jerry” McCormick]] who played professional baseball in the 1880s for the Baltimore Orioles, Philadelphia Keystones and Washington Nationals. He died of tuberculosis in 1905 and was buried at the Old Cathedral Cemetery in Philadelphia. Brother-in-law Thomas Gilmartin is mentioned in his death notice. # Paul's maternal great-uncle [[Morneault-25|Paul Morneault]] appears regularly in the Bangor papers, giving us a glimpse into the Aroostook County and New Brunswick culture. After serving in WWI, he became a veterinary doctor. He owned a series of racehorses, and participated in a track circuit in Van Buren, Maine, and Edmunston and Clair, New Brunswick, perhaps traveling farther afield to race his horses or drive those owned by others. He was in Clair, NB, one July 4th when back home in Van Buren a lit cigar ignited a large fireworks display on a lackluster, rainy 4th. The resulting explosion shattered the storefront windows and brought out the fire department. # Which great-grandmother died in church? ## [[Poitras-344|Marie Helene (Poitras) Fisher]] died '''Sunday''', July 21, 1918, after dropsy of the intestines lasting only 1/2 hour, but she isn't in the Bangor papers. ## [[McCormick-7393|Mary Josephine (McCormick) Gilmartin]] died Monday, January 25, 1937, but the place of death in Pennsylvania was not stated. Interesting! ## [[McCoy-9341|Mary (McCoy) O'Donnell]] died on a Thursday at home. ## [[Cyr-2335|Susanne (Cyr) Morneault]] died Monday, May 14, 1917, in Grand Isle. She isn't in the Bangor papers. # [[Dougherty-3133|Sarah (Dougherty) McCoy (1872-1926)]] had a tragic life. She was Paul's great grand aunt (Alexander McCoy's wife) and had a child by him but did not live with him long. She lived with her parents and her child in 1900 and 1910. In 1910, Alexander was living with his parents, claiming to be a widower, but she was still alive. In 1926, she committed suicide by jumping of a bridge in Philadelphia. # [[McCoy-9342|Alexander McCoy (1847-1906)]] and his wife [[Kennedy-23476|Julia (Kennedy) McCoy (1849-abt.1917)]] led a difficult life as emigrants. They both traveled alone, about a year apart, aboard a ship from Ireland to America. Born during the potato famine, their families must have still been experiencing financial difficulty. Alexander and Julia had sixteen children, with only eight reaching adulthood. Many died as babies from Scarlet Fever, Diphtheria, or other conditions now vaccinated against or fairly easily cured. They were a close-knit family but likely not well off financially, as their children often worked at a fairly young age instead of attending school. Alexander lived to 59, Julia to 67. She had children and grandchildren in the home with her, so she wasn't alone. # [[Sinclair-11300|Joseph (Sinclair) St Clair (1861-)]] died about thirty-five years old. His wife Malvina died three years later of Typhoid Fever, at the age of twenty-nine. Their three children Joseph, Albert, and Charles were sent to an orphanage called The Healy Asylum. === Free Space Pages === :List of Free Space Pages created for or linked to members of this family. * [[Space:06_Oct_1936_Assault_%26_Robbery_of_Philip_G._Bouska_of_Great_Falls%2C_Montana|Assault & Robbery of Philip G.

Lord Eglinton was an extensive entertainer and in his parties each participant had to do something to entertain the rest. Singing was the most popular exhibition of talent.

He left his fortune to his family in his Will, but the lawyer dealing with the estate stole the majority of the money and went off to the United States.[[Tyner-799|Tyner-799]] 00:23, 18 November 2022 (UTC) # Robbie's 2x Grand Uncle, [[Louden-602|Robert Louden (1831-1902)]], emigrated to the US in 1879. He settled near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where he was a '''watchman for the railroad''' for more than 20 years. Yup, you guessed it - he was killed by a passenger train.

One of these step-children, Lily (aka Agnes), married Holly G Forster, whose mother was [[Smith-290932|Daisy Emma (Smith) Forbes (1883-1937)]]. This made Daisy seven degrees from Robbie Coltrane. However, Daisy divorced Oliver Forster (for desertion) and, in the same year, married the second Forbes brother, [[Forbes-7862|William Forbes (1888-1928)]], bringing her just four degrees from Robbie Coltrane! [[Ardill-474|Lynne (Ardill) Byass]] #[[McMillan-6989 | Dr Helen Meldrum McMillan]] was doctor. By 1908 she had a M.B and a Ch.B to her name. She studied at Edinburgh Medical College for women, winning prizes during her studies. She was also a missionary in India in 1908. Later she was a GP in England. Upon her retirement a newspaper stated she had worked in a military hospital in WW1 in Mesopotania, was Principle of Lady Hardings Memorial College in Delhi, and was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh in 1921 (the first woman appointed).[[McIntosh-5576 | Liz ]] # [[Louden-602|David Brown Weir (1864-1864)]] and [[Louden-602|John Weir (1864-1864)]] were twins but they were not born the same day.

(Albasini-30) # [[Weir-5571|John Weir (1826-1904)]], the son of a cider maker worked hard all his life to feed his family. He started working as a labourer, then became a gamekeeper, a Police Constable, a molecatcher, a gardener's servant, a labourer again, a pit labourer in the mining industry and at the end of his life, aged 74 years, he was still working as a coal miner. (Albasini-30) #[[McMillan-6909 | Anthony McMillan]] brother of Robbies's gr grandfather also became a Free Church Minister and he took up a post in Fife. This was a new church formed after the Great Disruption of 1843. [[McIntosh-5576 | Liz]] # [[Stuart-8578|Helen Stuart (~1680 - ~1754)]], told her family and relations that when she was a little girl, she carried meat to her father and two brothers, who were hiding about the top of the Knipes (hills to the south east of New Cumnock). This was during the persecutions and once, when returning home with the empty dishes, she met a party of Dragoons who asked where she had been, and what she was doing with the dishes. She refused to tell at first, but being young and threatened with torture she told. The Dragoons then went off at full speed but her father and uncles had been watching or had been warned of their danger. They fled over the hills into the wilds of Kells in Galloway and the Dragoons could not follow them over these steep rugged hills and deep glens. This happened during a period of conflict in Scottish history between the Presbyterian Covenanter movement, based largely in the south west of the country, and the government forces of Kings Charles II and James VII. The period, roughly from 1679 to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, was subsequently called "The Killing Time". (Albasini-30) # [[Forbes-4406|Andrew Longmore Forbes (1889-abt.1918)]], Robbie's 1st cousin, 2x removed, was killed in action on February 2, 1918 and was interred with honour at the Wancourt British Cemetery in Pas-de-Calais in France.

[[Ardill-474 | Lynne (Ardll) Byass]] #[[Forbes-4649|Alexander Forbes]], 1st cousin 2x removed of Robbie, was a veteran of the Great War, serving with the famed Gordan Highlanders, and who for more than 3 years was a closely guarded prisoner in a German camp. He was captured while unconscious from a head wound. He was listed as "believed dead" by the War Department. He had a silver plate in his head and was periodically still being treated for the wound. He was employed as a baker and moved his family to Canada. Then one tragic night, after a week of arguing because of no employment, he shot his wife in the head before turning the gun on himself, leaving behind 3 young daughters.

== WikiTree Challenge Week 5 == '''Guest Star''': [[Wakeman-5818|Oliver Wakeman]] === Notes From Guest === * A little bit of history which has been passed down: Wakeman used to be somebody that took care of legal stuff (so Wakeman was an occupation, taken on as a surname). * Yes, I knew all of my grandparents * Cyril Wakeman and Mildred Eastment were my father’s parents. My mothers were Ronald Woolford and Ruby Mitchell. * My granddad died quite quite young, but so my Nan and I were very close so Lillian Davis, which was her mum. I think would be the oldest relative that I knew. * Re Ethnicity: There is the Voller line, which my dad has always told me that the line that we come from is related to the Vollers in Germany, who were Romany gypsies and Germany and the other side of the family, my grandmother's side with the Eastments. I wonder whether there's any you know that sort of European side to our family. But the only downside to that, I think, is it I'm dreadful with languages. * One of my great-great ancestors invented the deck chair. That is one of the many stories that have been passed down. I would like to know if that is true. A lot of things we end up telling it as a story, so you forget sometimes whether these stories are actually true. I’d like to know if they are. * The main the story that I've always heard from that which was that the Wakeman name came from those working for an Earl. And the story that I've heard is that one of these, one of these people was on a boat or was a captain on a boat or carpenter on a boat or something along those lines or one of the people. That worked for the Earl on a boat or something and apparently the Earl and his wife wanted to. And that's how he invented the deck chair, he came up with the Chair frame and the canvas to swing between the two, which is how they and they needed to fold it away and store it. That is apparently a bit of genuine history from us, but, of course, because it was back in the days, where it was all anything you invented got registered to the household or the Earl, it was never something that was ever credited to the Wakeman's. * My uncle Lorrie was disabled, he had multiple sclerosis and was in a in a wheelchair. And I always remember him because he was one of the pioneers of computers in one of the first people I ever knew that had a computer. which you're talking, I was probably eight so we're talking like 1979 or 1980. * And I remember my auntie Olive. Oh, she wasn't she wasn't really my aunt she was my great aunty she was just always known as Aunt Olive. She died at 99. * (Want to know if you are related to?): The “Great Fred Wakeman.” People often ask if we are related and I would love to know if we are. === Photographs === : Note: Please check with your captain, [[Langridge-71|Janet (Langridge) Wild]], if there are any questions about the images being protected by copyright. * ''add image link here'' === '''Resources''' === ''Feel free to add to this list of resources.

In 1894 the paper reported his taking part in a 100-mile bicycle race against Private F.W.R. Hankin. Private Hankin gave up after 46 miles, but William Voller finished the hundred miles, recording a time of 6 hours 13 minutes.

== WikiTree Challenge # 6 == '''Guest Star''': [[Fadden-168|Jimmie Fadden]] === Notes From Guest === * My father's grandfather is McNees. My father's father is Swegles. They are Welsh Scottish Irish. My grandmother's family is Scotch Irish. * My dad's father came from New York to Kentucky (three generations in Kentucky). My grandmother's side came from Ireland in the 1700s. * My 4th great-grandfather, I think it was, worked as a ship's carpenter in Erie, on the Great Lakes. One of my great-grandfathers worked for the train. I don't know which train line, but he was involved with it. * I got the name Fadden from my father's step-father. His name was Swegles but he changed it. * My sister's daughter called me and said there was someone with a lot of our DNA. I found out it was a half brother, two and a half years older than I am. He's the lead actor in the Renaissance Fair in Pasadena. * My mom was adopted at birth in Chicago by the Rally family from South Dakota. She grew up never knowing her biological family. She used to say "I'm Swedish-Finnish. Englund is my family." I saw a family member that would have been 17 in 1919 when my mother was born. * My cousin Gary, whom I've met, is the youngest son of the youngest son on the Englund tree. He gave me my great-grandfather Nel's wooden hand plane that he built. * My mom's father was from Finland. I was at 30% Finn when I first did my DNA, then later they moved it to 37%. * I would like to find my grandfather (Attie Martinnen) and where he went. My grandmother went to Chicago and gave birth to my mother. Prior to that her mother died of the Spanish Flu. * The Swedes line was originally Olsson. They were from Varmland. * When my father left the family his mother got remarried - my grandfather (Hiram James Swegles) remarried and started a whole new family, so my father had to have brothers and sisters. I've met the daughter of one of them. My 2nd cousin found my mother's half brother who is 96 and living in Michigan. I've talked to him on the phone but he had no idea about it. He was a naval aviator and so was his dad. So was my dad. All Navy pilots. His dad died in Long Beach, and was living in Paramount where my mother taught school. This was my mother's half-brother's father. * My half-brother Stephen knew people that I knew, before we had even met. * We spent time with all of my mom's South Dakota family. We drove from California. * My mom's biological family is a mystery to me, so I had concentrated on my adoptive family. * My sister was given up as a baby for adoption. When I talked to her later in life she knew she had two brothers, but didn't know who I was. === FHL Lookups === * === Photographs === : Note: Please check with your captain, [[Hardman-1532|Maddy Hardman]], if there are any questions about the images being protected by copyright. * ''add image link here'' {{Image|file=Westlund-176.jpg |caption=Englund Family Picture }} === '''Resources''' === :Locations: Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, and the United States.

She and most of her siblings moved back to the United States when they reached an appropriate age to travel alone. One of her brothers went back and forth at least three times. #Jimmy's Great-Grandfather's sister was nearly killed by her husband in August 1921....[[McNees-320|Mahala May (McNees) Ingels (abt.1871-aft.1920)]] He was convicted in October 1921 after attempting to blame it on her and saying " she had hard luck when she tried to take guns from him... #Jimmy's fifth greatgrandfather,[[Ingels-7|James Ingels (1749-1815)]] was a Revolutionary War patriot who served in Pennsylvania. He signed the Oath of Allegiance to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1777. Jimmy's fifth grandmother, wife of James Ingals was Daniel Boone's first cousin, once removed. [[Boone-426|Catherine (Boone) Ingels (abt.1752-1804)]] #Jimmy's 3x great-grandmother [[McComas-742 | Sarah McComas Jacobs]], had a brother [[McComas-744 | Moses McComas]] and nephew Jasper McComas who were involved in a good old Kentucky Feud resulting in murder and wounding for the Hutton family.

Karin outlived her husband by twenty years, dying at the age of eighty-six years, five months, and twenty-seven days. She was a mother of five, with four children living to adulthood. One of those four died at the age of twenty-three. His cause of death was tuberculosis/consumption. Collaborative work resulted in 21 sources on her profile and 15 on her husbands! # [[Bevan-62|John Bevan (abt.1646-1726)]], Jimmie's ninth great grandfather, was born in 1646 in Wales. He converted to Quakerism soon after marriage. In 1675 some of the Quakers were arrested in his home and imprisoned. He represented Philadelphia for four terms in the provincial Assembly. He and his family returned to Wales in 1704 and never returned to America. #[[Matherly-130 | Elias E Matherly]] Jimmie's 3x great grandfather was appointed postmaster of Jeffersonville, Montgomery County, Kentucky, United States. This is probably more exciting for me because I was a mail carrier and my grandparents are from Jeffersonville. #[[McDermott-3019|William McDermott]] Jimmie's grand uncle was a baritone singer. He was the entertainment for a lake ride on the steamer Canadiana. He also was a baritone singer in Buffalo, NY, performing in shows in the mid-1910s. # [[Germundsdotter-24|Elin Germundsdotter (abt.1792-1854)]] married a man 15-20 years younger than her when her husband died.

The administrator of her estate sued the St. Louis Railroad Company for damages but lost the case. # [[Englund-169|Anna Marie E Englund]] (1902-2006), Jimmie's grandmother lived to be 103 years old. # [[reynolds-24790|Lula Ann Reynolds]](1888-1961) Jimmie's 1st cousin 3 times removed died from 1st 2nd and 3rd degree burns caused by her clothes catching fire on kitchen stove. #[[Matherly-130 | Elias E Matherly]], Jimmie's 3x great grandpa had a very large family. 16 children and 5 wives.....not all at the same time. #[[Ingels-113|Elizabeth (Ingels) McNees]], Jimmie's 3x great grandmother, caused an interesting discovery. When they were digging her grave, they found it was already occupied by several sets of arm and skull bones, which were then entrusted to the care of the undertaker. The newspaper surmised these may have been bones belonging to a native tribe. #[[Swegles-25|Charles W.

In 1850 George is living with his widowed mother and a farm hand John Gilligan, next door to his soon to be wife Elizabeth Gilligan Hughes with her first husband. By 1860 George Jacobs is married to Elizabeth Hughes and his mother Elizabeth Thornton Jacobs is married to John Gilligan. So were they already step siblings when they got married or did the parents marry after their respective children? Missing marriage records would solve the question. #[[Houck-1393|Leroy Pierson Houck]] enlisted in the New York National Guard on 12 May 1925 and was dropped as a deserter on 27 Apr 1927 and his brother [[Houck-1394|John Valentine Houck]] enlisted in the New York National Guard on 11 Jul 1924 and dropped as a deserter on 27 Apr 1927 the same day as his brother.

== WikiTree Challenge Week 8 == '''Guest Star''': [[Cherry-4063|Carolyn "CJ" (Cherry) Cherryh]] === Notes From Guest === : CJ has graciously allowed us to research all ancestors. Please do not add the children of anyone at the grandparent level, even in the narrative, as they may be living. Thank you! * Yes, I do have a tree. It's on [https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/tree/91097881/family?cfpid=75022488183 Ancestry]. * Genealogy is a hobby for her. Her tree, once over in England, may be dicey as she didn't look up all the records for those ancestors. * Dad's mother, Georgia Scanlan is her problem. She is a total mystery to her. County names and lines changed. Some records aren't available. They were divorced twice and married once (in Texas). Once in Chickashay and once in Hobart, as something wasn't filed right and he wanted to remarry. * His parents ran cattle across what is Oklahoma, and dealt with the Creek nation. They may have had issues with Sam Houston (a difference of opinion) as the Cherokee and the Creek didn't get along. After a smallpox outbreak in the Creek nation, they settled down to town life. Her father was born to the first wife, Georgia Gertrude Scanlan, who disappeared. She may have remarried. Her funeral was in the 1930s. She would like to know about those missing years. * Louisianna Caroline Boone was living in Louisianna. Her father was Lafayette Boone. CJ has an ancestor Basil Scanlan, who may be the one that connects the two lines. * She has had her DNA tested, but not added me yet. * She is confident of the Tipton line, back through the Civil War. She has ancestors on either side of every US war. * Ethinicity: Mostly England and Northern Europe - UK (45%), Cherry line out of France, Scotland (21%), Ireland (18%) (Cherry line was there at one time. '[http://www.berkshirehistory.com/legends/kingsquirecherry_bal.html The King and Squire Cherry]' ballad), Wales (10%), Sweden and Denmark (6%) * Oldest ancestor she knew: some were on the Cherry side, who were very elderly, but she doesn't remember names. Oldest she knew was Uncle Silas and his wife Molly. She never met any of the greats. They died about the 1920s. * Her parents are not living. She has one brother and a cousin living. * She knows the Boone's 'get around' but not sure if she is related to any other notable people. She may be related to Thomas Jefferson's wife. * Jane would like us to find a pirate. === Needs Work === : Once all of the tasks have been done, please take them off the list.

He fought on the side of the Confederates. *Henry Clay Vick [[Vick-1448]] daughters Georgia Ann (Vick) Dollar [[Vick-1455]] and Hattie Mae (Vick) Dollar [[Vick-1459]] married brothers Madison Lafayette Dollar [[Dollar-1083]] and Fred Thomas Dollar [[Dollar-1084]]. * [[Beakley-69|William Beakley]] (bef.1791-1849), Carolyn's 4th great-grandfather, died in 1849 in Hickman County, Tennessee. Several of his children '''{{Orange|contested his Will}}'''. His probate file spanned 401 images. *Carolyn's first cousin twice removed [[Scantlen-6|Jennings M. Scantlen]] (1896-1985) murdered the man who had attempted to assault his younger sister in 1913. The jury deadlocked and he was apparently never convicted. * Great-grandfather [[Scantlen-17|J. L. Scantlen]]: In 1906 traveling correspondents used horse and buggy to gather the news of the region. W. O. Smith reported in ''The Mangum Star'' that J. L. Scantlen was among the successful farmers interested in a new cotton gin company being organized by the farmers of the area. The company hoped to raise $5,000 to put in a '''{{Orange|cotton gin}}''' with four stands in time for the 1906 season. * Great-grandfather John Scantlen's brother [[Scantlen-5|James M. Scantlen]] lost a barn full of feed to fire in the winter of 1905-1906. He decided to sell a variety of livestock. He also offered land to rent, lease, or sell on easy payments. '''{{Orange|Breeding stallions}}''' were Prince Colwood the Kentucky saddle-horse ($25 on insurance) and Captain Lowe the four-year-old Kentucky jack ($10 by insurance). The insurance must have been to insure that a foal was produced. * Same great-granduncle [[Scantlen-5|James Scantlen]] and his wife in 1907 named a son [[Scantlen-10|Haskell Scantlen]] after [[Haskell-1579|Charles Haskell]], the editor of the ''New-State Tribune'' who was elected first ''state'' governor (after several ''territorial'' governors) of Oklahoma in November 1907. Haskell received a thankful birth announcement in the newspaper. * Carolyn's 3rd great grandfather [[Beakley-56|Dr. Wright Berry Beakley]] (1816-1908) was married three times. After his first wife died, he married his son’s wife’s sister [[Scantlen-27|America Scantlen]] (1832-1916). After over 25 years of marriage, he divorced her to marry a much younger woman. America or one of her children got some revenge by noting on her tombstone that she was his wife and that “As she bore her cross, she wears her crown.” * Georgia Scantlen's brother [[Scantlen-18|Edgar Scantlen]] left home at age 16 on 1 October 1906 while his mother was away. She posted a notice in the newspaper on 1 November 1906 asking anyone who knew of him to write to her. By mid-November the notice was running in many newspapers around the state. * Carolyn's ancestor [[Van_Deventer-1089|Isaac van Deventer (1697-1775)]] had a twin brother Abraham -- and these twins were baptized twice, once in 1697 and again in 1704. It seems that the record of the first baptism was thought to be lost, so they were baptized later to ensure that they would have a record. *Carolyn's 2nd great grandfather[[Duff-3818|Thomas Duff]]'s two sons were out plowing in 1868 and decided to swim in a creek. Later it was discovered that both had drowned. *Grandfather's first cousin, [[Vandeventer-1097|Edward Vandeventer (1867-1903)]] was killed while "dynamiting fish" *Carolyn's great grandfather [[Vandeventer-89|William Tolbert Vandeventer]] and his wife were dazed by a '''{{Orange|lightning strike}}''' that killed their two cows. *3rd Great Granduncle [[Chambers-11149|William Henry Chambers (1842-1879)]] fought for both sides in the US Civil War. He initially joined the Confederacy, but after he was taken prisoner by the Union, he agreed to join the 3rd US Volunteer Infantry in return for his release. He served the Union for about a year before being released from duty. *Carolyn's great grandfather's brother [[Vandeventer-90|Archibald Tennessee Vandeventer]] was a "retired farmer and had been traveling for the past 10 years with his wife, visiting every state in the nation and appearing in news reels several times because he wore a suit of clothes made of '''{{Orange|400 different kinds of cloth}}'''." Another article claimed the suit was made from 2,887 pieces of cloth. *[[Redmond-653|Joseph Callaway Redmond]] son of son of Jason Monroe Redmond and [[Vick-652|Mary Vick]], was run over and killed by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel. He was sleeping at the side of the road with his wife and 10 children, The Family were enroute to California to see the sea. The common Ancestor is [[Vick-783|Samuel Vick]]. Carolyn and Joseph are first cousins three times removed. *[[Vick-1452|Robert Franklin Vick]] had twin girls in 1913, he named them Oral Ruby and Opal Ruth.

He doesn't get along with his older brother now; they don't talk. He is closest to his sister. * His father didn't appreciate his book, but he explained that he needed to tell his truth. Now that he's older, he understands that they love him no matter how they parented him as a child. He is thankful that things were hard, because it taught him to survive when he was poor. * His dad's parents (Pablo & Bebba/Genevieve) he saw all the time. They watched us a lot, and really they raised us. His uncle Pat would tease us a lot, just kids being kids. His grandma really protected him as he was so small. * He didn't see his mom's family much, only when she came to town and took us to visit them. She had 10 or 11 siblings, so it was a big family. * There wasn't any real branching out into the family. His grandparents loved him unconditionally, where he didn't get that from anyone else. * His family really didn't impart the importance of family. Major holidays when he was younger, had a few relatives there, but they weren't memorable. His good family memories came later when families around him (his friends families) took him in like one of their own, and he realized that not all families were like his. The Doolies were one of those families. * He never really learned about their culture. He doesn't speak Spanish, and he was never taught to cook 'family' recipes, like his favorite (enchiladas). * His daughter is 20 now, and he tries to do everything with her that he didn't get (communicate, express affection, cook together, etc). * He doesn't know the names of his great-grandparents, he never met his greats. His great-grandma on his dad's side they called "Ma-maw." Her husband died before he was born, or around them. I remember her making [https://www.mylatinatable.com/authentic-mexican-menudo-recipe/ Menudo]. He had his dad's parents as his grandparents, and that was all he really new. His mom's mother didn't speak English, and he didn't speak Spanish, so the one trip they took was really awkward. * He took a DNA test through 23andMe but hasn't gotten the results back, or he would have let us look at his matches. * He isn't setting limits on who we research (so '''please''' follow challenge standards on not creating recently deceased ancestors, and not listing children on profiles that may be living). If you have questions on closer ancestors, please [mailto:mindy@wikitree.com message me] directly. * He wants to know if he has any Dutch genes. === Needs Work === # # === Photographs === : Note: Please check with your captain, [[Daniels-2254|Christine Daniels]], if there are any questions about the images being protected by copyright. * ''add image link here'' === FamilySearch Image Look-ups === * == Tell Us What You Found!! == === Interesting Finds === :List interesting finds to share with the guest at the end of the week # That Derek's great grand uncle, [[Diaz_Muñoz-5|Baldomero Diaz]] was living in Saint Joseph, Missouri and paid the money for his brother (Derek's great grandfather) Gilberto Diaz, his first wife, Agustina, their daughter, Luz and his sister-in-law, Maria Jaquez to come to the United States. They crossed the border at El Paso, Texas. They did make it to Saint Jospeh as their son, Jorge was born there. # [[Muñoz_Diaz-3|Gilberto's]] wife [[Nuñez_Mendoza-1|Juana (Nuñez Mendoza) Diaz (1907-1995)]], outlived him by twenty-seven years, never remarrying. She was survived by six sons and four daughters, as well as her brother, Lalo Mendoza, thirty-five grandchildren, fifty-six great-grandchildren, and thirty great-great-grandchildren! ([[Carson-3914|Liz Carson]]) # [[Serrano-532|Pedro Serrano (1881-1964)]], Derek's great-grandfather, came to the United States on foot (we learn from his Application for Resident Alien's Border Crossing Identification Card issued 23 Aug 1949 in Los Angeles, California.) He entered the country lawfully at El Paso, Texas on foot on 18 May 1901 after traveling from his hometown of Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico (some 800 miles to the SSW. He may have travelled via train like some of his other relatives did. We do not know. But we do know he arrived on foot.) In 1930 they rented their home for $7 a month and did not have a radio. Pedro was a blacksmith for a steam railway, Vicenta was the proprietress of a hotel, Brigida was a law office helper, and Jesus was a tire repairer at a garage. # Derek's great grandfather [[Parra-271|Cipriano Parra]] (1875-1933) had a wide variety of occupations during his lifetime: day laborer, wood chopper, laborer for County Road Department, farmer, Bailey School janitor, and street sweeper. # [[Guerra-1150|Paula Guerra]] (1885-1930) was a United States citizen, born in Texas. She married [[Parra-271|Cipriano Parra]] in 1906. The following year the Expatriation Act of 1907 was passed by the United States Congress. The law stated that women who were United States citizens lost their citizenship and in most cases were required to take on the citizenship of their husband. Since Cipriano had not become a naturalized citizen of the United States, that happened. The law was not repealed until the Nationality Act of 1940. # Derek's great-granduncle, [[Guerra-1153|Secundino Guerra (1890-1956)]] died in a rather unfortunate manner; he lost control of his tractor one day while working on his farm, & it fell into a drainage ditch, killing him instantly by decapitating him. # A 2c4r of Derek was [[González-7257|Abraham González Casavantes]], a politician & one of the leaders of the Mexican Revolution in Chihuahua. González was considered a mentor to [[Arango-53|Pancho Villa]], & served as Governor of Chihuahua until he was arrested in 1913 by [[Huerta-167|Huerta]], the new President of Mexico who had taken power through a violent coup against the revolutionary & democratically-elected Madero government that González supported. Under the guise of transferring him to a Ciudad de Mexico prison, Huerta had his officials murder González along the train tracks en route to that location. # [[Estrada-680|Maria Ascencion Estrada]] was 14-years-old when she married Derek’s 3rd great grandfather [[Guerra-1158|Lino Guerra]] in January 1880. He was in his 50s, his first wife [[Sanches-112|Claudia Sanches]] had died in 1876, she had been the mother of at least seven children born between 1847 and 1868. Ascencion would have eight more children between 1883 and 1896, the last born when Lino was in his mid-70s. Only three of Ascencion’s children lived to be adults. # Derek's grand uncle Private [[Diaz_Bernal-2|John Diaz]] was a prisoner of the Japanese in the Philippines and was among the 139 men killed in the Palawan Massacre in a Japanese prison camp on 14 Dec 1944.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palawan_massacre # Derek's grand uncle Staff Sergeant [[Diaz-2691|Felix Diaz]] was gunner on a bomber. He died after being hit by shrapnel over Germany. The rest of the crew was able to parachute and survived.Globe-Gazette (Mason City, Iowa), 16 January 1945, page 16, column 1 # In June 1956, Derek's great uncle [[Diaz_Muñoz-5|Baldomero Diaz Muñoz]] had "the most distinguished beard" at the Osage, Iowa 100th anniversary parade. # [[Rascón-43 |Esquipulas Rascón]] Brother of [[Rascón-41|María Concepción Rascón]] Derek's Great Great Grandmother raised Goats in New Mexico which is still popular today. He died in 1910 from a self inflicted stab wound. His Son Francisco Rascon had a stock ranch in New Mexico. # [[Rangel_de_Loaysa-1 | Alonso Rangel de Loaysa ]] was an early migrant.

Could have been an argument. #* I found several that I listed in Discord. Nothing about there being a poker game, but it makes sense with it being after midnight at a residence. [[Silva-1055]] #* I read all the articles I could find at ''Newspapers.com'' searching for "stabbing" in 1936 and "Frank Hicks" in 1936. It was just said that Hicks was the aggressor (but then it was Graviet's house, so the witnesses were probably his family). The fracas took place in the afternoon, about 4 pm on a Sunday. Hicks was also hospitalized with a fractured skull and knife wounds. It is possible he was beaten by the sons of the victim. I could not find trial coverage, but he was convicted of 2nd degree murder and sentenced to 10 years. I put the info on Graviet's profile.

My grandfather was John E. Dudley. His father, I believe, had the same name, John Earl Dudley. My grandmother told me this story, about him or his father or grandfather, who had gotten a notice that he had inherited a peerage in the UK that he could inherit. But he had to come and claim it and it wasn't possible to do. He was living in the US at the time, and this was the olden days. So, it went to somebody else. And it was said he was an Earl, that’s where the initial “E” came from. The big problem is the Earl of Dudley, his tree goes way far back and there was never any question on who would inherit it. So, that doesn’t make sense, and the Earl of Dudley was incredibly important and like a really big name. However, there is also a lower title a Baron, [that] at one point went into abeyance. and in the UK back in the olden days, there was no male heir, there were sisters. And so what happens, traditionally, what happens with that is that the title goes into abeyance, meaning it is split equally between the three sisters and none of them actually holds it. Then it’s just waiting for the abeyance to be terminated. So sometimes it happens a generation later, or two generations later, something like that. And then there is a court process, and they hold a hearing, and they call it out of abeyance and they look for the nearest male heir. And that did happen with the Dudley peerage at about the right time period so that’s possible. #My great-grandfather, that would have been Thomas Jefferson Wales, or Corder Wales, there is a family story that he was stabbed to death over a poker game. === Photographs === : Note: Please check with your captain, [[Daniels-2254|Christine Daniels]], if there are any questions about the images being protected by copyright. * ''add image link here'' === '''Resources''' === == Tell Us What You Found!! == === Interesting Finds === :List interesting finds to share with the guest at the end of the week *The Ham family of Honesdale, Pennsylvania were involved in boat building.

Articles on Mary's profile. * Mary Louise Lewenicht's brother [[Lewenicht-7|Edward Lewenicht (1863-1938)]], was the victim of a '''brutal knife attack''' in 1895. His throat was cut and the papers declared him "mortally wounded" and said "He cannot survive!" He pulled through and lived another 43 years. * Grand-uncle [[Kimpel-172|Henry P. Kimpel]] was injured when '''falling from a belt line train''' in Buffalo. Through his stepfather and guardian [[Dudley-5723|John Dudley]], he sued the New York Central Railroad Company for $5,000 damages February 7, 1898. He alleged that he was thrown from the train. The company asserted that he and another boy were riding on the back platform, and that Henry jumped off when the conductor pulled the other boy inside the train. *[[Dudley-5779|Daniel Wallace Dudley (1897-)]] lists his occupation as "private detective" on his marriage record with [[Hoffman-10919|Minnie Harpel (Hoffman)]]. * [[Ballamy-33|Three]] [[Ballamy-34|generations]] of Humphrey Ballamy's married women named Grace (different maiden names!) * [[Wales-1575|Hubert Wales]]' sister-in-law Edna (Richards) Wales had a brother John who divorced and moved to Seattle.

"Mo Meng Si" means "No Name Somebody" and is used like Anglos use "Unknown" if we know neither first name nor last.

However, Paul and Ellen returned to Ireland before the birth of a son in 1876.

Any help finding passenger records for this couple would be great! On their return trip to Ireland they would have been three: Paul, Ellen and a baby girl named Ellen Mary. # [[Louw-210|Louise Adriana (Louw) Hofmeyr (1845-1883)]] has a Death Notice in Afrikaans or German, https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGLJ-D41C, with several children, for someone who can read the document. # [[Watson-2228|Florence Hermine (Watson) McDonald (1870-1940)]] has a Death Notice listing 5 children, with one who does not appear to belong.

[[Jenkinson-562|Heather Jenkinson]] # [[Shaw-28406|Margaret Josephine (Shaw) Twentyman-Jones (1881-1936)]], mother of a starting profile, was born in the City of Cork in Ireland. At age 16, she travelled (alone) from London, England, on the ship ''Johannesburg'' to Cape Town, South Africa. Earlier in the century, at least four of her father’s siblings had emigrated to Cape Colony, so she may have been travelling to join her relatives. However, only her aunt [[Shaw-28466|Frances Katherine (Shaw) Burrowes]] was still alive in 1897 and she would pass away nine months after Margaret arrived. Margaret's mother died in 1900, her father passed away in 1903 and four of her siblings emigrated to Montreal, Canada, after their parents' deaths. Margaret stayed in South Africa. I think Margaret was courageous! #A grandson of Alexander Archibald McDonald wrote a memoir of his grandfather, based mostly on Alexander's own diaries and other writings.

But the supporters of [[Pretorius-3131|Marthinus Wessel Pretorius]], the first president (and 8 degrees from Floris van Jaarsveld), did not support the results of the election and what amounted to the Transvaal Civil War broke out. When the fighting came to a halt in January 1864, another presidential election was held and Pretorius was re-elected; he was sworn in on 9 May 1864. Janse van Rensburg subsequently returned to his farm near Rustenburg, where he died and was buried shortly afterwards. The South African capital Pretoria was named after Pretorius.

Ralph would likely be the brother of Absalom Stewart who is currently linked as her father. Ralph is named on her marriage record ... his profile and his wife's also need work. Malinda also had 5 additional children besides Cynthia who have not been added yet. Two census records are needed, 1860 and 1870, and she was listed as "Malinda Macelvaine" and widowed in 1880 when she was living with her daughter and son-in-law.

However, 20 days after the wedding her new husband discovered she was pregnant, and Sarah confessed she had a relationship with Henry C. Pennington, brother of her deceased first husband Alisha and husband of her own sister Mary Jane. This second marriage ended in divorce. The daughter of Henry C.

Murphy was the lead financial backer of Henry Ford's first gasoline powered vehicle, a delivery wagon, after Ford took Murphy on a 3-hour drive of a prototype. Murphy would be the main financial backer of the Detroit Automobile Company, the company where Ford created the first race car. The Detroit Automobile Company would not be successful and eventually fold, but Murphy and Ford still believed in the gasoline automobile's future and created the Henry Ford Company.

With Ford gone, Murphy would immediately rebrand the company to the Cadillac Automobile Company. ''The Cadillac Automobile Company was established on August 22, 1902'', converting the Henry Ford Company factory at Cass Street and Amsterdam Avenue. It was named after French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who had founded Detroit in 1701.

Soon after becoming airborne, the pair of starboard engines on the Lancaster began to splutter and lose power. Heavily laden with a full bomb load and fuel tanks, the bomber struggled to stay in the air over the airfield as the speed tailed off, and doubtless with the pilot and flight engineer battling to keep their aircraft under control, they managed to avoid hitting the watch tower and steer clear of a WAAF living site before the Lancaster plunged into a hedgerow and burst into flames instantly taking the lives of the 7 crew. Emergency teams were powerless to do anything as the bombload began to explode. At the subsequent enquiry, Flight Lieutenant Jenyns was commended for preventing a worse tragedy by avoiding the WAAF sleeping quarters and the nearby village. He has a memorial plaque in his memory at King's Park Honour Avenue in Western Australia.

He died in 1895 in Sonoma, California being 100 yo 3 months and 15 day according to Los Angeles Herald in his obituary entitled "The Oldest Inhabitant". Some local newspaper paid him homage in this lovely manner: :::''HEALDSBURG, Cal., Dec. 15. — The mortal remains of William Blackman were placed in their last resting-place in Oak Mound Cemetery to-day. Hundreds attended the funeral of the centenarian. Six Healdsburg pioneers, all of whom were 70 years of age, acted as pallbearers, while crowded around the grave of the good old man were many men and women who are looking at life from its west window. The oldest person present at the funeral ceremonies was Mrs. L. Tombs — Grandma Tombs, as she is called — who is 92 years of age. Now that Mr. Blackman is gone, Mrs. Tombs is the oldest person in the county, and feels keenly the loss of her friend.'' :::''In many respects William Blackman was a remarkable man. There have been many "fake" centenarians, but the men who live to celebrate their hundredth anniversary are few in number. Fewer still reach that age with health and faculties unimpaired, and yet on the 25th of last August, when Mr. Blackman had reached the century milestone, he entertained a jolly crowd of old folk, and was as happy and bright as the youngest person present.'' :::''It was on that occasion that Mr. Blackman and others decided to organize an Old Folks' Club, whose members were to be over seventy years of age, and whose object should be to care for those who needed assistance. The good old man was the first of thirty members to be stricken from the roll by the hand of death, and in his passing this city lost a most worthy citizen.'' ::His birth record, though, says he only got to 99. ::He was married for 55 years with Susan Holder and had 11 children. When he became a widower around 80, he married again with a lady 40 years younger. === Military Profiles === BRITISH MILITARY * [[Stevens-29878 | William Richard Stevens]] Officer and commander Royal Navy 1856 - 1862 served in three land based ships and three seagoing ships including HMS Victory. * [[Stevens-29888 | Rev.

[[Breen-120|Breen-120]] 19:38, 30 November 2023 (UTC) * [[Edmonson-476|William Edmonson]] ** William Edmonson was an African-American and a sculptor from Nashville, Tennessee. His work was exhibited in NYC's Museum of Modern Art in 1937. Coincidentally, there was another African-American named William Edmonson, but he hailed from Spokane, Washington. He was also noted, but as a singer and actor, also active in NYC in the 1930s. He sang bass and managed the quartet The Southernaires. [[Selvaggio-84|Selvaggio-84]] 22:39, 4 December 2023 (UTC) * [[Ewing-5594|Prince Albert Ewing]] **[[Gilliam-2959|William Gilliam (1903-1922)]] was murdered after attending an ice cream supper with a woman that he had been told to stay away from. He died from a skull fracture. Four men were later arrested and charged with the crime. (Thiel-559) ** [[Hickman-6066|George William Hickman, Jr. (1924-2012)]] served as a Tuskegee Airman as a Sergeant in the United States Army Airforce during World War II. (Thiel-559) ** [[Ewing-5610|Stephen H. Ewing (1882-1938)]] committed suicide by jumping from a bridge into a creek in Indianapolis after murdering his girlfriend in 1938. He left two suicide notes at the scene. ** [[Ewing-5621|Julia Arvilla (Ewing) Haddox (1913-1963)]], granddaughter of Prince Albert Ewing, managed Haddox Pharmacy in Nashville, her husband's business, after his death. She managed the pharmacy for several years in the 1950's and 1960's until her son took it over. When the pharmacy closed in 2017 after her son's death, it was said to be one of Nashville's oldest black-owned businesses. (Melick-229) ** [[Ewing-5594|Prince Albert Ewing]] and his neighbor [[Wilson-111714|Rufus Wilson]] had a dispute over a land boundary. Prince's son [[Ewing-5614|Will]] ended up shooting Rufus, who died. About 10 years later, Prince's son [[Ewing-5605|George]] married Rufus's daughter [[Wilson-111713|Pearline]]. (Melick-229 for story about dispute/shooting, Jenkinson-562 for children marrying) ** [[Ewing-5618|Richard Albert Ewing (1911-1962)]], grandson of Prince Albert Ewing, was both a pastor and a math teacher, an unusual combination of careers. (Melick-229) * [[Taylor-91387|Preston Taylor]]: ** [[Mallory-2736|Levy Mallory Sr (1841-1877)]] and Ida Fryer/Frazier were the parents of [[Mallory-2735|Ida D (Mallory) Taylor]], wife of [[Taylor-91387|Preston Taylor]]. Levi and Ida had an interracial marriage and they were charged with violating Tennessee's laws prohibiting that. According to newspaper accounts, it was the first case of its kind to reach federal court. The suit was dismissed, however, because of the murder of Levi in 1877. (Two interesting finds!) [[Johnson-10907|Johnson-10907]] 20:47, 30 November 2023 (UTC) ** [[McGruder-175|Ambrose McGruder (1879-1949)]] and his wife [[Hartley-6993|Jennie (Hartley) McGruder (1878-)]] gave their occupations as actor and actress when they married in 1905. It would be interesting to see if any shows they were in can be found.[[Gahn-22|Gahn-22]] 19:23, 1 December 2023 (UTC) [[Gahn-22|Nanette]] ** [[McGruder-172|Aljournal Edward McGruder (1881-)]], son-in-law to [[Taylor-91387|Preston Taylor]] and brother to Ambrose was a policeman in Chicago, Illinois. He single-handedly foiled a break-in by 12 men to a warehouse in 1921. Two cars pulled up and the men told him to put his hands up, but he instead, pulled his service revolver. They shot at him as they jumped back into their vehicles and sped away. He received a minor flesh wound to his leg and thinks he shot one of the escapees. He was rewarded with $100 for his bravery. [[Selvaggio-84|Selvaggio-84]] 04:00, 3 December 2023 (UTC) ** [[Taylor-105877|Hattie Whitney (Taylor) Tyree (1882-1929)]], daughter of Preston Taylor had an interesting marriage history. She seems to have taken great pains to hide her first marriage (the only one that produced a child) secret because her second marriage is called her first, her third is called her second and so on. But that is not the interesting thing. Her second husband, Henry Mallory died tragically a year after their marriage and she then married for a third time, to Albert Sylvester in Chicago. After that marriage failed, she was apparently under the impression that the marriage had been invalid anyway because she though there was a court order placed on his previous divorce which barred him from remarrying. Are you with me so far? She married for a fourth time to Samuel Franklin Tyree without legally separating from Sylvester. Tyree sued her in court and was granted an annullment. The newspaper article is transcribed on her profile. [[Selvaggio-84|Selvaggio-84]] 14:17, 5 December 2023 (UTC) ** [[Spradling-524|Washington Spradling (1802-1868)]], father-in-law of Preston Taylor was a barber with an interesting quirk regarding his pricing. To be fair, he was also a real estate speculator, which is how he really made his money. The following account was included in his obituary: "There is one pecularity about the deceased that is worth mentioning. He never would raise his price on his old customers, no matter what might be the exigencies of the times, or the fluctuations in trade and currency. Forty years ago he charged five cents for shaving, twenty years ago he charged five cents, and whoever was once shaved at his shop for that price could always be shaved there for the same. It is true that when the war and war prices, and war currency, came into vogue, he raised his price of shaving to ten cents to transient customers (when other shops charged fifteen), but to his old customers he only charged five cents, whether in silver or currency, and this scale of prices he continued during life." [[Selvaggio-84|Selvaggio-84]] 00:58, 6 December 2023 (UTC) ** [[Spradling-524|Washington Spradling (1802-1868)]], father-in-law of Preston Taylor (same guy, different interesting fact) - He was a real estate speculator and by the 1860s, became the first African American in Kentucky worth more than $100,000. [[Selvaggio-84|Selvaggio-84]] 00:58, 6 December 2023 (UTC) NOTE: I did not discover this fact, I found it already on his profile. ** [[Spradling-524|Washington Spradling (1802-1868)]], father-in-law of Preston Taylor (same guy, one more interesting fact) was 64 years old when he fathered a child out-of-wedlock. He acknowledged the child, Will Wallace Spradling, in his will when he left him some property and mentioned that he had a son William and another son Will! He was also named on the son's death certificate. The son, Will, was also involved in real estate speculation as an adult and was president of an insurance company. WikiTree was very unhappy with the 40-year age difference between siblings! [[Selvaggio-84|Selvaggio-84]] 05:08, 6 December 2023 (UTC) * [[Sheppard-5413|Ella Sheppard Moore]] **[[Carpenter-25365| Eliza Carpenter Bruce]], a 6-degree connection to S. Shepphard, lived to the age of 103. There was a newspaper article on her 100th birthday. Her 101st Birthday was commemorated with a newspaper article, where she stated, she recalled Lafayette visiting America in 1825. She stood on the street corner with her father and watched the parade as he passed; she recalled the Grand Review of 1865, where she watched the soldiers in parade all day. Then she saw Pershing return home. Her great desire was to fly in an airplane. (Tull-5) **[[Bruce-12800|William Henry Bruce]], 6th-degree connection to Shepphard, was the doorkeeper for the United States Supreme Court for fifty years. (Tull-5) **[[Hypps-1|Albert L.

Shepphard, was the assistant superintendent of schools in Washington, D. C. in the 1950s & 1960s. She was a professor at Howard University. There are at least 193 articles on newspapers.com where she is mentioned as a speaker, educator, Volunteer, etc. from 1937- 1965. She played a leading role in desegregation in the Nation's Capitol. She is a graduate of Straight College, New Orleans; A.B. Degree from Howard University, and PhD from New York University. (Tull-5) **[[Alexander-25651|Theodore Martin Alexander]], 4th-degree connection to Sheppard, was an insurance broker. He co-founded the Atlanta Negro Voters League in 1937. Two decades later, he kept the Montgomery Bus Boycott alive by contracting with Lloyd's of London to replace policies that were canceled by white-owned insurance companies.

Likely that is how Richard's granddaughter Katherine Boyd met and married William's son Irving! Notable [[Miller-78408|Flournoy Eakin Miller (1885-1971)]] and his two famous brothers Irving and Guitard, are also now attached to parents, as William is his father, and father of other sons who were well-known actors. **[[Warren-24485|John Warren]] CC7 from Boyd.

According to the index record, Elizabeth Wood was the daughter of John Wood and Sarah Wood and George Wightman was the son of George Wightman and Elizabeth Updike. Those are the names of the parents of George Wightman of Kingstown, Rhode Island, and I'm puzzled about why they would have married in New Jersey. I've not found a corresponding record in the usual New Jersey sources. It would be nice to have the record image, and I suspect the film may have been misidentified by FamilySearch, so I'd like to know how this record set is identified in the film itself.

No births in Limerick of the right time, but there is one in Tipperary in 1837 and with father's name of James (referred to in his marriage record) therefore I believe this to be the right Richard Phelan.

She sued her brothers in '''1862''', a full 33 years later, because she felt she received less than her brothers. This is probably because she got money in 1829, but her brothers continued to profit off the farm because they were working it in the ensuing years.

Pellagra was so pervasive in the Southern United States that the U.S. Congress asked the Surgeon General to investigate the disease. In 1914 [[Goldberger-44|Joseph Goldberger]] discovered pellagra was caused by malnutrition rather than infection, and that it was prevalent among poor people subsisting on cornbread and molasses. Indigenous American peoples traditionally process corn with limewater when making tortillas, hominy or ''posole,'' and other foods. This essential step was omitted by European- and African-Americans. While many grains contain niacin (Vitamin B3), the niacin in corn is "bound" in a form that is hard to absorb. This missing nutrient was discovered by [[Elvehjem-1|Conrad Elvehjem]] in 1937, the year after Rebecca's death. By the mid-century, bread and cereals were routinely fortified with niacin. [[Lowe-866|Lowe-866]] 22:41, 17 February 2023 (UTC) # [[Scott-54990|Bertha Scott Hooks]], great-granddaughter of Louis McGill died suddenly in 1961 of cerebral hemorrhage during labor. She was in the Georgetown County, South Carolina Memorial Hospital. [[Tull-5|Margaret (Tull) Meredith]] # A grandson of Louis McGill, [[McGill-3422|Samuel McGill (abt.1912-1944)]], was shot and killed by a policeman in 1944. On the following day, a Coroner's Jury reported "That we the jury decided the said Sam McGill came to his death by pistol shot fired from policeman Daniel Coutu in self defense while in line of duty." No newspaper articles or other supporting records relating to this incident have yet been located. It would be interesting to find more information about what led to this tragic death. [[Nix-195|Suzanne (Nix) Dyck]] # [[Hooks-1002|Julia Mattie Hooks Hampton]] and her husband had 22 children. Eight preceded her in death. #John Turner Tisdale, a relative of Louis McGill, was born [[Tisdale-1382|Bubber Turner Tisdale (1917-1953)]]. [[Macklem-13|Liza (Macklem) Gervais]] #[[Buggs-47|William Buggs]] was killed in an elevator accident in 1944, suffering a fractured skull. # The 1880 Census of Agriculture shows that [[McGill-3395|Louis McGill (abt.1832-abt.1913)]] was farming 17 acres of rented land and had one mule, a good bit less than the "40 acres and a mule" promised to freedmen by Union General Sherman during the final months of the Civil War. [[Smith-62120|Smith-62120]] 02:53, 19 February 2023 (UTC) # [[Malone-5494|Turner "Buck" Malone's]] pension file had this awesome family story that was written by one of his daughters: Image 174: "Mary Jones was an Indian baby found in the woods of Alexandria City VA by a white man by the name of Mr. Tom Lynch. She grew up in Mr. Lynch's home. She had one daughter Eliza who also was given to his sister (Mrs. Rowell) she grew up and married a free Negro John Wiliams. They had three sons, namely John, Augmon and Turner. Grandmother Eliza was sold with her three sons for debt to Bill Malone in Fayette County Georgia. My father Turner was six weeks old. They grew up as slaves of Bill Malone ran away and joined Sherman in his march to the sea....Augmon got killed. John stopped in Scriven County and did not try to find his mother and brothers until just before he died in 1899." [[Christensen-2766|Lisa C]] # [[Mason-20273|Ned Mason (1903-1967)]] is a member of The Great Migration,https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Category:Great_Migration_%28African-American%29. His journey took him from Henrico, North Carolina to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Proctor-1924. #7 degrees from [[Moorman-1334|Alice (Moorman) Wells (abt.1865-aft.1910)]], apparently, the only African American Automaker, Founder [[Patterson-20316|Charles Richard Patterson (1833-1910)]] was born into slavery in Virginia in 1833. Family legend has it that C.R., his parents, and his 3 brothers swam across the Ohio River in 1840. [[Tucker-11084|Tucker-11084]] # [[Moorman-1397|Henry Moorman (abt.1840-1871)]], the father of [[Moorman-1334|Alice (Moorman) Wells (abt.1865-aft.1910)]] was identified from his will. It also mentions several of Alice's siblings. Henry left Alice her mother's chest, a spinning wheel, a kitchen table, a slab, a bedstead and bed, and the household furniture. [[Melick-229]] # 5 degrees from [[Mason-20273|Ned Mason (1903-1967)]] is [[Anderson-74567|Ernest Anderson (1917-1928)]] a 10 year old school boy who died following a hit from an auto mobile in 1928 #The Freedmen's Bureau documented a contract of employment between [[Barrett-14587|Ellen (Barrett) Cornett (1842-1915)]] and [[Cornett-1515|John H Cornett (abt.1810-1887)]] in 1866 in Calhoun County, Arkansas. The terms were $40/year and board for Ellen's four year old son Jeff Barrett. The contract was renewed in 1867; but the names were crossed out as if the contract was not finalized. Ellen, at least, had apparently moved about 125 miles to Faulkner County in 1867, because she had a child (Robert) born to a resident there in 1868. Another child was born in 1869, father unknown. Meanwhile, John Cornett also moved to Faulkner County between 1867-1868. He married the widow of a neighbor there in 1869 (Mary). In the 1870 census, John, his new wife Mary, Ellen, and her three children were living under one roof in Faulkner County, Arkansas. Ellen later had at least two children with John before 1880. She does not appear in the 1880 Census in John and Mary's home, nor are she and her children found anywhere else in that census. === Free Space Pages === :List of Free Space Pages created for or linked to members of this family. * [[Space:USCT_Pension_Notes_for_Turner_Buck_Malone|USCT Pension Notes for Turner Buck Malone]] *[[Space:Slaves_of_Thomas_Satterwhite_Jr%2C_Arkansas|Slaves of Thomas Satterwhite Jr, Arkansas]] *[[Space:Will_of_Henry_Moorman%2C_1871|Will of Henry Moorman, 1871]] * [[Space:TimelineStuff|Kill Burns Disambiguation]] === One Place Studies (OPS) === {|border=1 |width=100|Place Study||Sticker markup||Profiles |- |{{One Place Study|place=Gaston, North Carolina|category=Gaston, North Carolina One Place Study}}||{{One Place Study|place=Gaston, North Carolina|category=Gaston, North Carolina One Place Study}}|| |- |{{One Place Study|place=Kingstree, South Carolina|category=Kingstree, South Carolina One Place Study}}||{{One Place Study|place=Kingstree, South Carolina|category=Kingstree, South Carolina One Place Study}}|| |- |{{One Place Study|place=Turkey, South Carolina|category=Turkey, South Carolina One Place Study}}||{{One Place Study|place=Turkey, South Carolina|category=Turkey, South Carolina One Place Study}}|| |- |{{One Place Study|place=Taylor, Nevada, Arkansas|category=Taylor, Nevada, Arkansas One Place Study}} ||{{One Place Study|place=Taylor, Nevada, Arkansas|category=Taylor, Nevada, Arkansas One Place Study}} || |} === Military Profiles === * [[Wells-28671|Sidney Wells (abt.1891-1964)]], son of [[Moorman-1334|Alice (Moorman) Wells (abt.1865-aft.1910)]], served in the US Army during World War I * [[Malone-5495|Sergeant John Henry Malone (1868-1942)]], son of [[Malone-5494|Turner Robert Malone I (abt.1844-1910)]] (1 degree), was a life-long member of the famed Buffalo Soldiers.

Her name is [[Fitzpatrick-1037|Rosanna (Fitzpatrick) Duffy]], born in Belfast in 1823. Her obit states she "came across the waters with her parents and settled at Albany, NY, where she grew to womanhood." She married [[Duffy-967|Thomas Duffy]] from Troy, NY in 1847 and "soon after moved west to Grand Rapids, Wisconsin." Thomas Duffy died in 1864 in Fordham, Adams Co., Wisconsin. Eventually, Rosanna moved to Oakland, Freeborn County, Minnesota, with her son George Thomas Duffy, and eventually they moved to Austin, Mower Co., Minnesota. I can find nothing of her parents or anything before her marriage. I found one listing of a Rose Fitzpatrick who came to the States with a Riley and Mary Fitzpatrick, but have no idea if they are related to my Rosanna. I'd love to know anything about where she was from in Belfast, her parentage, etc. Thank you in advance!

His first wife's sister also married a sailor and sea captain (William McMeekin). They all lived on the same street in Belfast in the 1870s. [[McMeekin-254|William McMeekin]] became deputy harbour master for the City of Belfast! He held this position from at least 1877 to 1900. His son [[McMeekin-255|Edward McMeekin]] worked as a ship's engineer. Sadly Edward was found dead in Belfast's Abercorn Basin in the afternoon of 6 December 1915. There was no evidence to show how he entered the water. Hmmm... [[Bain-1176|Eric Bain]] # Starting person [[Kyle-1922|John Wilson Kyle]]'s maternal grandparents [[Warren-22768|Alexander Warren]] and [[Halliday-2051|Isabella (Halliday) Warren]] had seven children. Curiously, on the birth records for their first three daughters, the last name of their parents (Alexander and Isabella) would be listed as "WARING." When their son [[Warren-22810|Alexander]] was born, "Waring" was also written for his parents' last names, only to be crossed out and replaced by "Warren". The last two children show "Warren" as it should be. This all seems very odd. Both the 1901 and 1911 Ireland Census returns show the family name as WARREN (as do the parent's marriage record in 1898, etc.). This also occurred in multiple registration districts, so it wasn't one sloppy registrar at fault, it seems to have been deliberate (four times). Either someone wanted to change the family name going forward or their brogue was hard for others to understand. ??? [[Bain-1176|Eric Bain]] #Someone fired a BB gun at the window of [[Munnis-26|Arnold Howard Munnis's]] house, almost striking him and his mother-in-law in 1940. # (I found this person during the challenge. He might prove to be outside the CC7, and he's on the other side of a brick wall. But he's almost definitely related to Pirrie-27 on his Montgomery line. Sorry about the long story, but it's a good one.) [[Cunningham-17984|Samuel Cunningham (1768-1796)]] represented his family's Belfast-based linen business in the West Indies. In 1796, He was in St. Vincent planning a trip home to Ireland. He was only 28 years old; but he had a premonition that he was going to die enroute. So, he wrote his will. Sure enough, Samuel was in a battle at sea when a French privateer attacked the ship he was on - the Portland Packet, which was under the British flag. Samuel fought bravely with the seamen (according to the survivors) to fend off the attack and save the cargo; but he and the captain were shot and killed. Samuel is buried on the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean Sea. The ship eventually made its way back to Ireland. In 1797, Samuel's younger brother William was in St. Vincent, British West Indies, awaiting the arrival of another brother John from Ireland. William wrote a letter home to their uncle James Barber and included a copy of Sam's Will. Sam left generous bequests for each of his parents, all his siblings, the poor of Killead parish, and other named individuals. After his estate was distributed, he was celebrated for his generosity to the poor on an imposing memorial at Killead Presbyterian Church, Clady, County Antrim, with a death date of 18 October 1796.

[[Silva-1055]] # From Kelly Popp Kley Popp-547. There is a letter from a friend in B Volga Beideck Region Russia. About him saving several people. Here is the letter: 28 June 1923 #:: Die Welt-Post, Thursday, 28 June 1923 #:: Page 3, "Letters from Russia" #:: Beideck #:: 25 March #:: To: [[Kress-707|Lukas Kress]] Newark, New Jersey #:: Dear Lukas: #::     I am happy that you have finally arrived in America. Since you left I have thought much and often about you. My cordial greetings to you, your wife and your children. One does not soon forget people like you who have done so many good deeds. Recently I was in Schilling and there was talk of you among people who had gathered together that you had once saved from death. They reminded me that I should write to you and thank you for the love you have shown them, without which they would otherwise no longer be alive. You know well that when you served in the Commissariat (governing body of a Soviet--translator) you saved many lives. You also saved livestock for the people, though I had 2 horses, their harnesses and a carriage taken from me because all things were not within your power (to save), many other things were also taken from the village in spite of your efforts. #::     Our hearts are glad that you have arrived happily in America. All of us would also be happy to be there with you. Later I will write you more. You should also write to us about what the people from Beideck are saying because you will learn much by being among them. #::     With my best greetings I remain your well-known village comrade, #::     Conrad Wuerz (https://www.volgagermans.org/resources/literature/periodicals/die-welt-post/28-june-1923) # From [[Kreutzer-114|Pam Kreutzer]] about Isidore Reichert: This isn't a new find to me, but the group might find it interesting, my mother Martina Dreher Berglund wrote a story about her Grandma Agatha Wasinger and her three husbands, there is a nice portion of the story about Isidore.

Thiel-559 #[[Printz-168|Koreen Printz Goodman]]'s research: I believe I may have discovered siblings to [[Kress-707|Louis "Lucas" Kress]] based upon birth registers. Waiting to hear back on any military draft records on this family which may shed more light. Some of the families who also settled in Newark may possibly be related, but more research needed. [https://www.volgagermans.org/who-are-volga-germans/history/immigration/united-states/new-jersey/newark Newark NJ Volga German Immigrants] "In 1887, about 50 families from Beideck and Schilling settled in Newark, New Jersey, where many of them worked in factories. The neighborhood was called "Ironbound" because it was between the railroad tracks of two major rail lines that came through the area." #[[Just-440|Gerhardt Just (1925-1965)]] was a Sergeant First Class in the 125th Air Traffic Company (Army). He was killed during the Vietnam War when the plane he was in crashed. Thiel-559 #[[Reichert-180|Phillip Reichert]] three degrees from starting person Reichert is [[Wasinger-215|Anna "Annie" Wasinger Bahl]]. She had three young boys, ages 5, 6 and 7 that followed her husband on a short trip to view ice to fill a store house on 23 Feb 1906. He was not aware the children had followed him, until the youngest ran up to him to let him know that his brother had fallen through the ice. By the time he got there his other son had also fallen through the ice while trying to save his brother. Both sons died. [[Smith-159364|Smith-159364]] 04:59, 4 April 2023 (UTC) #[[Printz-168|Koreen Printz Goodman]]'s research: [[Loranz-1|Gabriel Loranz]] family research has been a question of Black Sea German vs. Volga German. DNA kits provided by family are not a match to the Black Sea German Ancestor project in GEDMATCH. This leads me to focus on the Volga region. Based upon mother's surname of Welder/Welter/Walter(s), looking into Catholic colony of Kamenka. Her DNA may not match to the Black Sea German GEDMATCH project, but family is connected to the Welder/Welter family who settled in Canada. Based upon DNA mother to Gabriel most likely born in Elsass, Kutschurgan, South Russia. # [[Schmidt-14726|D. Raymond Schmidt (1934-2007)]] was a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trappists Trappest Monk] in Colorado. 4 degrees from [[Reichert-180|Phillip Reichert (1844-)]]. [[Selvaggio-84|Selvaggio-84]] # [[Steinbock-9|Aloysius Steinbock (1871-1911)]] was married twice. His first wife, [[Geta-1|Elizabeth (Geta) Steinbock (1867-1906)]], arrived in the United States in January 1906 with their three children. In November 1906, she gave birth to triplets. Unfortunately, she died twelve days later. Aloysius was unable to care for the infants and they were given for adoption. One of the triplets, Susanna, was adopted but passed away less than four months later and is buried with her biological family. [[Selvaggio-84|Selvaggio-84]] # [[Steinbock-19|Peter Steinbock (1903-)]] was the son of the above couple. He arrived in the US in January 1906. He was noted to be in good health, but blind in his left eye. Family tradition states that he died in Russia and it is assumed that he was sent back immediately due to multiple health issues. That would mean that a child less than 3 years of age was sent back alone to Russia. It is true that he does not appear with the family in the 1910 Census. Hopefully he was also adopted out and not sent back to Russia alone. [[Selvaggio-84|Selvaggio-84]] # [[Layman-1689|Clair Layman]], 7 Degrees from Starting Profile [[Loranz-1|Gabriel Loranz]], is not only my own paternal 12th cousin, but he married my maternal 7th cousin [[Cantrell-9250|Eslie Cantrell]].

Well, Pieter's brother Reinier Opperdoes (profile coming), a member of the Hoorn council, died an unfortunate death. He was 33 years old in 1767 and had 'conversed' in Monnickendam with the eldest daughter of a mayor there. Then he had visited another Monnickendam regent, from whom he had taken leave between nine and ten in the evening. His body was found in a ditch the next morning. Immediately the rumor spread that he had been deliberately made to walk into the canal by moving a lantern that guided people in the dark to the other side of the canal. It was about this accident that it was asserted: "How well does this cold-blooded murder characterize the manners of the regents! That a suitor from Hoorn would take away a rich and dignified bride from Edam is in the eyes of the Edam people a crime that should be punished with death. However, there is no evidence that a murder was committed (in Monnickendam and not in Edam).” (From: Onder Regenten p 151).

She lived in Cologne so exuberant that her husband was allowed to separate from her in 1571, which was unusual at that time. She was accused to have had an affair with Jan Rubens (the father of the painter) and was imprisoned in the palace of the Elector of Saxony in Dresden, not allowed to see her children. She died six years later. But we know her husband Willem was far from being a saint, from the beginning of the marriage he did have many mistresses. (added by Albasini-30) # [[Nassau-28|Emilia van Nassau (1569-1629)]], daughter of Anna von Sachsen, married secretly Manuel of Portugal in 1597 because she was a Calvinist and he was a Catholic. Manuel was a Portuguese prince in exile. Manuel's father seized the throne of Portugal but he was forced to flee 20 days later after his defeat against Spanish king Felipe II at the battle of Alcantara. It took 10 years to Emilia's family to accept this marriage. Emilia and Emanuel lived separately during the last years of their marriage. Emanuel sold his rights to the Spanish king and moved to Brussels ; Emilia bought the estate of Prangins near Geneva, where she died in 1629 at the age of 59 (This castle is now the Swiss National Museum) . (added by Albasini-30) # [[Portugal-108|Maria Belgia Portugal (1598-1647)]] the daughter of Emilia van Nassau, was supposed to marry a wealthy Calvinist nobleman. But she fell in love with a young German Colonel Jean Theodore de Croll, a native of Heidelnerg, who had moved to Geneva at the service of the Margrave of Baden-Durlach. The intention to get married with the German colonel was strongly opposed by his uncle and the General States of the Netherlands, who with the authorities of Bern, who administered the entire Canton of Vaud, were threatening to arrest Colonel Croll. Fearing the worst, Maria Belgia and Theodore de Croll fled through the night, to Vevey. Although she expected them to also be opposed to union, Maria Belgia, making use of her influence, was finally able to marry in the church of Bümpliz, in Bern, but because he was below her status her new husband was seen as an opportunist. They had six children, one boy and five girls but the marriage proved to be an unhappy one and Maria Belgia was planning to divorce when, in 1640, Theodore de Croll was murdered in Venice, where he had retired to. Maria Belgia was obliged to sell a large part of her goods to pay de Croll's many debts .

He completed his bachelor’s degree in history at Southern Arkansas University. There he married his wife Frances. After serving as military police for the Army in New Jersey, Tom returned to school in Arkansas and while teaching junior high history and completed his Masters degree in Economics. With a wife and 3 young children, Tom moved to Mississippi and earned his Doctorate in Economics. That degree led him to Fayetteville and the University of Arkansas where he became the founding director of the Bessie Moore Center for Economic Education. His tenure at the U of A included leadership roles in teaching, research, curriculum development, and service on his journey to becoming Emeritus University Professor. Tom taught thousands of future teachers and business students as well as many educators throughout Arkansas and Eastern Europe. All respected his knowledge, professionalism, sense of humor and sincere interest in them. Tom embraced life and all the experiences it entails. He played on the Dismal Science baseball team and championed the annual Walton College Dead Day Float on the Buffalo River. He ran three marathons; played basketball; took annual hiking excursions with colleagues and his son Alex; hiked to Machu Pichu, the Grand Canyon, and the Camino De Santiago; cruised the South Pacific; taught in Italy three semesters, England and Turkey one semester, and on a ship for a semester at sea twice – sailing around the world accompanied by his wife. Tom was a great storyteller. He used this ability to entertain his children and their children with stories about his childhood, his dog “Old Dan,” and Creeping Covers. Storytelling was also his style of teaching. After retirement, Tom began to write those stories about his childhood and McKinnon ancestors who fought in the Civil War. He completed and published, for his family, his life story, Footprints In The Sand. He even took an art class so he could illustrate one of his books. Tom’s children, grand and great grandchildren all share his passion for learning, traveling and experiencing life. '''He hiked, climbed, floated, and jogged around the globe''', including an ancestral journey to the Isle of Skye, the origin of the McKinnon clan. There was always something new to learn or experience. Between his travels, Tom found great happiness in a day spent cooking-out on the deck with his wife, all the family and his dog Lucy.[[Tull-5|Tull-5]] 15:10, 16 January 2024 (UTC) *Garrett: [[ Oaks-1211 |Audrey Oaks ]], attended attending Buffalo State University College for Teachers, Buffalo, NY, where she graduated with a BS in Art Education.

He was ranked as one of the most important Shakespeare scholars of the U.S. because of the New Variorum edition that he began in 1871, and which was continued (1908–28) by his son. The term variorum alludes to the Latin phrase editio cum notis variorum, that is, “an edition with the notes of the various" editors and commentators, a phrase indicating the chief purpose of a variorum edition: namely, to collect what has been written by various commentators, critics, and editors. Furness called his edition "New" because there had already been seven earlier variorum editions of Shakespeare, the earliest in 1773, and the latest, before his own, in 1821. By the time he died in 1912, Furness had edited fifteen plays in variorum format, including the major tragedies, Macbeth, Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, and Anthonie and Cleopatra.

They made ethnographic studies of the Dayaks in Borneo, the Nagas in Assam, India, and the Ainu of Japan. Furness made multiple trips to the South Pacific, and was among the first to study and photograph the Kayan people of Borneo and the Wa'ab people on the island of Yap. In 1903 he spent two months among the Wa'ab people on the island of Uap (Yap). Utilizing a phonograph, he recorded Wa'ab speech and native songs, and published the first Uapese-to-English/English-to-Uapese dictionary. During a long trip to Japan, he had been heavily tattooed and an 1894 article in The Oregonian described Howard Henry Furness as "the most artistically tattooed man in the world." At home in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, he raised chimpanzees and orangutans, and experimented with teaching them rudimentary human speech.

She personally recorded string figures from several native groups that were in attendance at the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, Missouri.

According to an article shared by the New England Historical Society, "The only apparent concession to the risks at hand was Kelley’s appeal to his wife, the former Irene Snow of Falmouth. Mass., to remain behind in Liverpool. The plan was for the Rutledge to return in May, and they could sail back to New York together in more pleasant weather. More than a month later, on Feb. 19, the John Rutledge entered heavy fog in the treacherous area where the Gulf Stream bushes against the colder Labrador currents. The ice was thick and menacing – just as described in the early report that reached Liverpool before the John Rutledge set sail. The next day, sometime around 9 a.m., an iceberg – as sharp and gleaming as enamel – gouged a huge hole in the bow just under the waterline. Within hours, it was clear the ship was doomed."

She has cultivated her persona as The DNA Chef in order to help others learn about their ancestry through food. Her outgoing personality and attention to detail are the direct result of taking her skillset in the entertainment industry in Hollywood and combining it with her many years of experience in the business world. Meli’s primary goal as The DNA Chef is to collaborate with her clients by honoring their heritage through DNA results and/or known genealogy and to help them discover what their ancestors may have eaten in the past in order to create a family connection. Meli graduated with honors in the one-year culinary program at The Art Institute of Seattle. She has worked at a few neighborhood restaurants throughout Seattle and has also worked as a meat cutter. She is now based in Salt Lake City to pursue her work as The DNA Chef full-time.

=== Guest Star === Lianne Kruger started doing genealogy as a child recording names and dates at graveyards. In her teens she went through microfilms looking for names written on a piece of paper. When first married she researched her paternal line back to the first European land owner of Canada. She continues to research her other lines along with DNA research, One-Place and Surname Studies. Lianne has volunteered with the Alberta Genealogical Society (AGS) as Red Deer Branch’s president, vice president, and six years as 1st Vice President of AGS. She is currently website and social media chairs for AGS. She was rewarded two special achievement awards (2015, 2018) and the President award (2020) for her service. She is also a board member and communications director of mitoYDNA and on the advisory board of Ancestry.ca. She has taught for conferences, seminars and sessions in all over Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario, Canada; Birmingham, UK; RootsTech, Salt Lake City, Utah; FamilyRoots (Utah); online for Surname Name Society (UK); Genealogy with a Canadian Twist, and Virtual Genealogical Society, National Genealogical Society’s OnDemand Conference. For five years Lianne taught the family history course at the Ogden Institute of Religion. Lianne earned a computer programming degree and has been teaching computer software courses since 1982. She has completed a Bachelor Degree from BYU-Idaho with minor in Family History Research. She loves combining her love of technology, love of teaching and her love of genealogy by teaching ways technology can help genealogists in research, preserving and sharing the research with others. Here is a video explaining how to find missing connections for Lianne: {{YouTube|rJjmJdPMxNQ}}

==== Notes from Guest Star ==== My paternal grandmother never told anyone who my dad’s father was. So biologically I don’t know yet but with DNA I may be close. I have 5 generations on his step fathers Danish line but not much interested in that. The bigelow line goes back to early 1600 eastern US. Townsends would be a good line. ===Score Sheet=== [https://plus.wikitree.com/Challenges/WikiTreeChallenge/20240418/User.htm Score sheet] Scores update once an hour.

=== Guest Star === Randy Seaver is a native San Diegan. His ancestry is mainly colonial New England and Upper Atlantic, with some colonial German, French and Dutch forebears, and several 19th-century English immigrants. He has been pursuing his elusive ancestors since 1988, and has been online since 1992. Randy is a former President of the Chula Vista (CA) Genealogical Society, and is currently the Newsletter Editor and Research Chair. He speaks to Southern California societies, libraries and social groups, and teaches “Beginning Computer Genealogy” adult education classes at OASIS. He is a member of NEHGS, SCGS, SDGS, and CVGS. Randy blogs daily about genealogy subjects at Genea-Musings (www.geneamusings.com) and the Chula Vista Genealogy Cafe (http://CVGenCafe.blogspot.com). Here is a video explaining how to find missing connections for Randy: {{YouTube|rJjmJdPMxNQ}}

==== Notes from Guest Star ==== *{{Ancestry Tree|184684370|182411392701}}: is the only one that is "almost" up-to-date. I try to update it every week using RootsMagic TreeShare. Most of my updates are for source citations but if I have added profiles I update those too. *[https://www.myheritage.com/fan-view-1742741-14023500/randy-seavers-genealogy-research MyHeritage Tree]: is static - I don't bother trying to update it. This tree is from April 2023 and does not have all of my current information. The 7 generations (CC7) any which way may be very helpful for adding to the WikiTree garden. I already have 1100 of mine in WikiTree. But there are plenty more out there. However, I probably already have 95% of them in my RootsMagic tree and Ancestry tree because I've been doing descendancy research for my 4th great-grandparents for over 5 years in order to help identify common ancestors with DNA matches who have small or no trees. My tree still has some significant challenges, such as: * Who are 2nd GGF Devier James Smith's (1839-1894) parents? He was adopted by Ranslow and Mary (Bell) Smith in Jefferson County NY after birth and had his last name officially changed from Lamphear to Smith in 1866 in Wisconsin. I'm pretty sure his grandparents were Isaac and Rosina (Laun) Lanfear of Lorraine, Jefferson county, NY, but I don't know which Lanfear child was Devier's parent, and who the other parent was. I have DNA matches with descendants of Isaac and Rosina Lanfear. * Who are 4th GGM Hannah Smith's (1768-1827) parents? She married Josiah Sartell in 1789 in Amherst MA and resided with him in Brookline NH And Townsend MA. * Who are 5th GGM Hannah Brown's (1725-1774) parents? She married John Phillips in 1749 and resided in Southboro and Shrewsbury MA. * Who are 4th GGM Sarah Fletcher's (1802-b1850) parents? She married Abraham Kemp in 1818 probably in Prince Edward County, Ontario. I have a Bible record for a name, birth and marriage date, but no other record. * Who are 4th GGM Mary Palmer's (c1790-c1845) parents? She married James Vaux in 1808 in South Petherton, Somerset, and migrated to the US and died in Aurora, Erie, NY. * Who are 3rd GGF William Knapp's (1775-1856) parents? He was in Dutchess County NY and married in 1804 and resided in Newton NJ for decades. * Who is 5th GGF Stephen Feather's (c1736-c1804) wife? He was from Germany and settled in New Jersey and then Westmoreland County, PA. * There are many mysteries in my 6th great-grandparents especially the German ones! I have added quite a few new lines to my tree since I added my ancestors to WikiTree many years ago. The Richman and Marshman lines in Wiltshire are typical examples. On WikiTree, the line ends with John Richman (1789-1867) and his wife Ann Marshman (1784-1856). I have links to genealogical sketches for about 500 ancestors (back through 7th great-grands, with some exceptions) in https://www.geneamusings.com/p/ancestor-biographies.html, and many of them are in FamilySearch Family Tree profiles also. They might provide a starting point. I am willing to have WikiTree do a challenge for me, but my big mysteries above are difficult problems. Most of them have had "potential ancestors" on Ancestry and "wrong parents" on FSFT based on other researchers work, and I have checked them out the best I can. I'm not sure that any progress on the big mysteries above can be made in a week. It would be helpful to have more or "better" source citations on my WikiTree profiles, especially those that have no citations or just a few. The reveal on YouTube should be fun and interesting. If the team solves even one of my big mysteries, I will be ecstatic. ===Score Sheet=== [https://plus.wikitree.com/Challenges/WikiTreeChallenge/20240418/User.htm Score sheet] Scores update once an hour.

''This Space is a work in progress.'' Working on the WikiTree Challenge we need to remember that the profiles are aimed at for both genealogists and non-genealogists. Those with an interest in genealogy will want to see where information came from, so it is very important that we show our sources. There will be others who are just interested in the person's story, so an interesting biography will encourage them to look further and perhaps become more involved. == Challenge Profiles == === Basic Profiles === :For Challenge profiles, please use an inline citation to prove the relationship to the parents. Ask your captain, or in Discord, if you need help creating those. Bounty points may not be awarded if that citation is missing. :Note that census charts are not recommended on challenge profiles. They are too easy to 'break' for newer researchers. You can put three census charts in a ===Census Data=== section. Any more than that should be on a Space page and linked to the profile. : We respect privacy even more so than the WikiTree standards call for. You can check the [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Recently_Deceased_Strangers Help page] for the basics, but please don't add relatives that died after 2002, out of respect for the living family members.

Curiously, on the birth records for their first three daughters, the last name of their parents (Alexander and Isabella) would be listed as "WARING." When their son [[Warren-22810|Alexander]] was born, "Waring" was also written for his parents' last names, only to be crossed out and replaced by "Warren". The last two children show "Warren" as it should be. This all seems very odd. Both the 1901 and 1911 Ireland Census returns show the family name as WARREN (as do the parent's marriage record in 1898, etc.). This also occurred in multiple registration districts, so it wasn't one sloppy registrar at fault, it seems to have been deliberate (four times).

In 1796, He was in St. Vincent planning a trip home to Ireland. He was only 28 years old; but he had a premonition that he was going to die enroute. So, he wrote his will. Sure enough, Samuel was in a battle at sea when a French privateer attacked the ship he was on - the Portland Packet, which was under the British flag. Samuel fought bravely with the seamen (according to the survivors) to fend off the attack and save the cargo; but he and the captain were shot and killed. Samuel is buried on the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean Sea. The ship eventually made its way back to Ireland. In 1797, Samuel's younger brother William was in St. Vincent, British West Indies, awaiting the arrival of another brother John from Ireland. William wrote a letter home to their uncle James Barber and included a copy of Sam's Will. Sam left generous bequests for each of his parents, all his siblings, the poor of Killead parish, and other named individuals. After his estate was distributed, he was celebrated for his generosity to the poor on an imposing memorial at Killead Presbyterian Church, Clady, County Antrim, with a death date of 18 October 1796. #[[Liddell-1147 | Eric Manfred Liddell]] died on his birthday he was 103.
