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”

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”
The Things we Save
Over Christmas I gathered a few things from my grandparents safe (with permission of course), and as we went through the contents it is just so interesting what people choose to save throughout time. In the safe there were cancelled checked going back to the 1960’s, a fair bit of random paperwork that I’m notContinue reading “The Things we Save”
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.

Bess Streeter Aldrich Connection
Some of you may be familiar with Bess Streater Aldrich the Nebraska author. I have a copy of her book “A Lantern In Her Hand” and read it again a couple of months ago. Interestingly enough a friend of mine was doing a reading challenge from the local library to read a book from orContinue reading “Bess Streeter Aldrich Connection”
Mauser Rifle Connection?
I feel like the thing that got me started in genealogy work was the question Grandpa Murl had – how are the Big Springs, NE Mausers related to Peter Paul and Wilhelm Mauser, the inventors of the Mauser rifle. When I started, I got stuck in how to research German records in addition to theContinue reading “Mauser Rifle Connection?”
US Presidents in Big Springs
As I was reading a book on Harry Truman, 33rd President of the United States, I realized that on his 1948 Whistlestop Train tour he simply had to have go through my home town of Big Springs, NE. This link (https://archive.org/details/55304HarryTrumanFootage) has some images from his tour in June of 1848 with pictures from Kearney,Continue reading “US Presidents in Big Springs”
