It’s been an eventful couple of weeks in Genealogy finds. I’ll have to detail some of the other pieces her in a bit, but this one was fun. We finally found out the details of Grandma Avis’s war service. If you have read some of my earlier blog posts you may remember that at ChristmasContinue reading “Rosie the Riveter Association”

Chamberlain Family
Sometimes my projects start out as very random thoughts or something I just happened to click on in the family tree and off I go again. This time I was playing around with a few DNA matches on the Clutter side of the family and found a few things that lead me to also lookContinue reading “Chamberlain Family”
Frederick Perlette part of Thrush, Perlette and Stough Carriage, Shippensburg, PA
As I was resarching Cory’s 3X Great Grandfather John Perlette I also found some good information on John’s brother Frederick Perlette and it was Frederick’s information that allowed me to find the Perlette family in Germany. Frederick Perlette was part of a carriage company in Shippensburg, PA and over the years they had many advertisementsContinue reading “Frederick Perlette part of Thrush, Perlette and Stough Carriage, Shippensburg, PA”
Peron Research
James Peron, Cory’s 2X Great Grandfather on his Grandmother’s side is another brick wall in the family tree. We have a rough idea of a few pieces of his life, but can’t find any official records for his birth, his death, his marriage, or anything that really provides much additional detail. Recently I hired aContinue reading “Peron Research”
Phillips Research Updates
One of the pieces of the tree I’ve been working on here and there over time is the connection between Jacob/Jasper Phillips – my 3X Great Grandfather and the grandfather of my Great-Grandmother Marjorie Bayne Munter – and his presumed parents. A cousin put together a book on the Phillips family many years ago andContinue reading “Phillips Research Updates”
DNA Project for Fanny Petty Hagerdon – Success
I just posted not too long ago about the search for Fanny Petty Hagerdon’s parents and my attempt to use DNA to solve this mystery. I was pretty much immersed in this project for a couple of days, mapping out DNA matches and trying to connect all of them to the family tree. It wasContinue reading “DNA Project for Fanny Petty Hagerdon – Success”
DNA Research Project Moving Forward
I have been working on a DNA matching project for Fanny (Petty or Perry) Hagerdon who was the wife of Luther Hagerdon. Fannie left very few paper records as she was born in 1811 and died in 1846. I’ve been working through a series of DNA Matches to see if I can shine any lightContinue reading “DNA Research Project Moving Forward”
USD 1812 Annual Meeting
A couple of weeks ago I attended my first annual meeting for the Daughters of the War of 1812. What a fantastic group of ladies. As of right now, I have one proven 1812 veteran, another application pending processing and then I have two ancestors who we will have to use some indirect evidence toContinue reading “USD 1812 Annual Meeting”
RootsTech 2024
This is a fun weekend! The FamilySearch.org organization hosts a big conference in Salt Lake City, UT that consists of four days of Genealogy presentations. One day maybe I’ll be able to make it in person! Several of the presentations are archived online, or are available live online, and even without going in person, IContinue reading “RootsTech 2024”
The Things we Save
Over Christmas I gathered a few things from my grandparents safe (with permission of course), and as we went through the contents it is just so interesting what people choose to save throughout time. In the safe there were cancelled checked going back to the 1960’s, a fair bit of random paperwork that I’m notContinue reading “The Things we Save”
