I am amazed at how many Revolutionary War Patriots I have been able to find once I started searching and using a wide variety of sources – plus knowing about the Daughters of the American Revolution database which identifies people who have already proven lineage and sometimes it takes very little effort to tie intoContinue reading “Newly Approved! Revolutionary War Patriots”

This post is a continuation of my posts on the 7th generation of my family tree. Counting myself as Generation 1, the 7th generation is my 4X Great Grandparents.

Daniel Phillips Bounty Land Research Trip – Results Part 1
In my prior post I was headed off to a county courthouse in Illinois searching for a land transaction for Daniel Phillips Bounty Land hoping to narrow down which Daniel Phillips is the correct one, and help tie together the pieces. I spent an entire day in the courthouse searching land records (there isn’t anContinue reading “Daniel Phillips Bounty Land Research Trip – Results Part 1”
Daniel Phillips Bounty Land Research Trip
In researching the Phillips branch of the family (My Great Grandmother, Marjorie Bayne Munter’s mother was a Phillips), there is one generation that has very little solid evidence. Isaac Phillips was a Revolutionary War Veteran, and it is believed that Daniel Phillips is his son and then Jacob/Jasper Phillips is his grandson. We know quiteContinue reading “Daniel Phillips Bounty Land Research Trip”
Happy 400th Thanksgiving
After attending the annual meeting of the Illinois Mayflower Society last weekend and listening to some of my favorite podcasts talk about the sailing of the Mayflower and their first Thanksgiving 400 years ago in 1621 I thought I’d do a quick post on our known Mayflower ancestors, starting with the Mayflower Compact. IN THEContinue reading “Happy 400th Thanksgiving”

Hans Jurgen Dehning WWII Experience
This was such an interesting piece to read that I obtained permission from the Dehning Family Association to share it with you here. Hans Jurgen was born in 1924 and grew up under the influence of Hitler’s politics. Hans Jurgen fought in WWII for Germany and talks about how the German people were convinced toContinue reading “Hans Jurgen Dehning WWII Experience”
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”
Nebraska Century Family Updates
Some of you may remember my post earlier this year providing information on those First Families, Pioneer Families, and Century Families in Nebraska as recognized by the Nebraska State Genealogical Society. The final certificate arrived in the mail over the weekend and I have updated that post to add Henirich Jacob Moeller and his wifeContinue reading “Nebraska Century Family Updates”
Memorial Day Weekend – Revolutionary War Patriots
I still have a few bios to put together that finish information on my 3X Great Grandparents, but as I just received news this week that I had four more Revolutionary War Patriots approved for a current total of 5 (with more in the works) this seemed like a good time to list some ofContinue reading “Memorial Day Weekend – Revolutionary War Patriots”
