The project I had with American Ancestors to see if we could use DNA to find any information on the parents of Jacob/Jasper Phillips, my 3rd Great Grandfather on my Great Grandmother Marjorie Bayne Munter’s branch of the family. They utilized the DNA results that we have in the tree and compared to other peopleContinue reading “Phillips Family DNA Research Project”

Huguenot Society
I had looked at joining the Huguenot society a while back on the Bayne family line (Great Grandma Marjorie Bayne Munter’s family) and was missing a degree of proof for one of the generations, so I had put it on hold for a bit. I recently connected with a cousin who has joined the societyContinue reading “Huguenot Society”
Mauser Family Tree from Germany
If you have been following this blog for a while you may know that I have been working to get a copy of a big family tree (almost 4 ft X 4 ft) that traces the family back several generations in Germany. Partially to see how it matches the research we have already done andContinue reading “Mauser Family Tree from Germany”
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. One of the big reasons I wanted to goContinue reading “Vawter Family Association Meeting and Allen County Research Library”
Rosie the Riveter Association
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”
