Vawter Family Association Meeting and Allen County Research Library

This weekend I went to the Vawter Family Association meeting and had a great time meeting some new cousins! For reference, my nearest Vawter relative is my 3rd Great Grandmother Louisiana Vawter who marred James Hagerdon. This ties directly to my Great Grandmother Gladys Hagerdon Anderson.

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.

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.
