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”
You never know what Grandma might say!
Well, there are a lot of reasons why we never know what Grandma might say, but Grandma Avis threw all of us for a surprise over Christmas this year. We are taking her home after the festivities and randomly she shares that she and her sister Iris made bombs during WWII for about 6 weeks. ItContinue reading “You never know what Grandma might say!”
Century Farm Awards
We had an exciting moment in August at the Deuel County Fair. All the paperwork was filled out with Aksarben, and the Mauser family was awarded the Pioneer Farm Family. That means that a member of the family has lived on the same property for 100 years (or more). In this case we were ableContinue reading “Century Farm Awards”
Mayflower Passenger George Soule
The results are in. I have now officially proven relationship to another Mayflower Passenger – George Soule. George Soule and his wife Mary Buckett are my 11X Great Grandparents and we are related to them through the Livermore family. This connection was challenging to prove for one generation as there were no documents that connectedContinue reading “Mayflower Passenger George Soule”
US Daughters – War of 1812
Last week I received notice that my first ancestor application for the US Daughters of the War of 1812 was approved. How exciting! For this one the first ancestor I submitted Daniel Livermore who is an ancestor of my Great Grandmother Gladys Hagerdon Anderson. Because of his service in Captain Daniel Root’s company of theContinue reading “US Daughters – War of 1812”
