Early German Farm House

Thanks to Cousin Orval Dehning I just finished scanning in several years of newsletters from the Dehning Family Association in Germany. So much good information is contained in those newsletters that demonstrate things the family went through in the early 1800’s, WWII and other memorable times in history. I’ll have to see if it’s permissibleContinue reading “Early German Farm House”

Research Delays – Storer, Seibert, Robinson, Neff and Shughart

I know it’s been longer than normal since I posted any updates. I’m haven’t forgotten, and I’m not procrastinating, at the moment I’m waiting for research requests to come in. For the surnames listed above I have requests for documents in various places and am waiting for the results of that before I can confirmContinue reading “Research Delays – Storer, Seibert, Robinson, Neff and Shughart”

Family Locations – Census Mapping

As I wait for some details on a few of the branches of the family tree I thought it would be fun to see where our families were over the course of time. I took the Federal Census data and mapped locations over time. The most recent Federal Census that is available to the publicContinue reading “Family Locations – Census Mapping”

Family Connections – way back to early colonists

It has always been interesting to me as I research my family and Cory’s family how closely their paths matched over time. Knowing that our ancestors could (and did) come from vastly different locations at different time periods it is not unreasonable to expect they they would follow somewhat similar migration patterns, but the frequencyContinue reading “Family Connections – way back to early colonists”

Dewald Ankeny and Andrew Putnam- Hugenots

Sometimes similar items show up together and this is one of those cases. I have been trying to reconcile some of the information on Cory’s family tree and shortly after finding the information for a Hugenot on my family, I find these two. Both Dewald and Andrew tie into the same family line for Cory.Continue reading “Dewald Ankeny and Andrew Putnam- Hugenots”

Carlisle Hastings and Hannah Granger Photo and Story Gallery

My original intent was to work through Cory’s tree for his 3X Great Grandparents starting at the top and work down, but as I’m waiting on some queries to clarify and finalize some data, I thought I’d just start with those that I had the data I needed. Carlisle Hastings and Hannah Granger are theContinue reading “Carlisle Hastings and Hannah Granger Photo and Story Gallery”

Mareen Duvall – Hugenot and Jacobite

Sometimes my research is focused, and sometimes I’m randomly clicking around looking at whatever catches my fancy. In one of those random days I stumbled into some information on the immigrant Mareen Duvall. For a tie-in, after Mareen, a 4th Generation Duvall married a Bayne, and four generations later, a Bayne married a Munter andContinue reading “Mareen Duvall – Hugenot and Jacobite”
