I had looked at joining the Huguenot society a while back on the Bayne family line (Great Grandma Marjorie Bayne Munter’s family) and was missing a degree of proof for one of the generations, so I had put it on hold for a bit. I recently connected with a cousin who has joined the societyContinue reading “Huguenot Society”

Mauser Family Tree from Germany
If you have been following this blog for a while you may know that I have been working to get a copy of a big family tree (almost 4 ft X 4 ft) that traces the family back several generations in Germany. Partially to see how it matches the research we have already done andContinue reading “Mauser Family Tree from Germany”
Rosie the Riveter Association
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.

DNA Project for Fanny Petty Hagerdon – Success

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. 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

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”
