This year I signed up for an e-course with Family Locket Genealogy to improve my research skills and get a bit of structure into my research. For the course I needed to select a research project and while there are many options I decided on one that was probably not a super hard project, butContinue reading “Research Process Success – Mary Bartleson Ambler”

Research Success – John Perlette and Dorothea Gerwig
One of the gaps I had in the family tree was for the wife of John Perlette (Cory’s 3X Great Grandfather through Geneva Perlette Storer). As an aside, John Perlette has a grandson John Perlette who married Hannah Hastings. It always helps to clarify when there are multiple generations with the same name. John theContinue reading “Research Success – John Perlette and Dorothea Gerwig”
Felix Albright – Newly Approved DAR Patriot
After an extended wait, I received news today that my 6th Great Grandfather, Felix Albright was just accepted as a NEW Patriot in the DAR database. I originally submitted this documentation in 2021 (and yes, it is now 2026!). The genealogists at Daughters of the American Revolution had quite a backlog of applicants to getContinue reading “Felix Albright – Newly Approved DAR Patriot”
2026 Research Projects
I have a couple of projects that I have started 2026 with in hopes to find a few more details. First, I signed up for an e-course with Family Locket using their Research Like A Pro process.

Otto Mauser WWI Service
One of the fun things that has been uncovered in our family history search is the WWI Footlocker from Otto Mauser. Otto is the brother of my Great Grandfather Ben Mauser.

As I mentioned in a prior post, Cory and I will at some point move into the home that my Great Grand Uncle Otto Mauser built that has been in the family it’s entire existence.

Swiss Research Project – into the 1500’s!
I have loved working with Roots Quest (Formerly Tree Tidings) Research for so much of my German/Swiss ancestors! When you have someone who knows the archives and has practice reading the language it really makes a difference. With this most recent round of research the focus was on the Kinsey line. The Kinsey line tiesContinue reading “Swiss Research Project – into the 1500’s!”
Lobner German Research
It has been on my list for a while to try and find out information on the Lobner Family in Germany. It has been hindered by the fact that there were no records online, there was limited access to the in-person records and then finding someone to do the research onsite. Thanks to Roots QuestContinue reading “Lobner German Research”
