I have done <i>a lot</i> of traditional genealogical research on this family (16 counties & 9 states) and still have plenty more to do. However, the DNA evidence is confirming the documentary research completed so far.</p><p>I am still looking for DNA matches who will let me view their Shared Match list on Ancestry so I can look for connections to the family. JKS received very little Binley DNA and does not match MR. However, MR matches descendants of eight of William Binley's kids including some of the same matches that JKS matches.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbJvx6Du_yveii4oU8e7xNR1VGAwNm5nml77dg-ak4c1riehT_q-r4iPHM5VeVORCw8LDtPto6mKxD6TSmOCdBuw4NWWpkFBPIGuCvWwe422wGP-5Q7CR2g5pzZe9TEUFKL4VRJXCANJRBwLXfYw4N58XRXMJj20FE_WjRsz4JiPKwNtqUQR9ht32kDw/s1860/BINLEY_Lucid.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1042" data-original-width="1860" height="299" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbJvx6Du_yveii4oU8e7xNR1VGAwNm5nml77dg-ak4c1riehT_q-r4iPHM5VeVORCw8LDtPto6mKxD6TSmOCdBuw4NWWpkFBPIGuCvWwe422wGP-5Q7CR2g5pzZe9TEUFKL4VRJXCANJRBwLXfYw4N58XRXMJj20FE_WjRsz4JiPKwNtqUQR9ht32kDw/w534-h299/BINLEY_Lucid.jpeg" width="534" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The most interesting part of this project is that I have seen hints of William & Anna's parents in individuals who match others in the group but don't match anyone else until the line gets back into Virginia and Pennsylvania in the 1750s!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The amount of shared autosomal DNA is too small to really tell the level of relationship, but sizable shared segments denote that there's a genetic relationship from a common ancestor somewhere back in time.

I want links to various databases, so I can just check them off one at a time.<br />
<br />
Find each known individual in every census throughout their life. They may have been visiting family on the night of the enumeration - the directions told the enumerator to count everyone in the home on that evening. It's worth it every time.<br />

Before 1837, check parish registers. Every parish is not in every database. I think FindMyPast had the best collections of bishop's transcripts and parish registers the last time I checked.</div>

If you cannot locate your person in a parish where they were supposed to be, try non-conformist records and a radius search five miles from the parish. The <a href="http://maps.familysearch.org/">maps.familysearch.org</a> map was once a helpful tool but seems to be malfunctioning as of 16 February 2019.<br />

He was able to learn of his mother's name from court documents. She lived close to my family's home -- I often rode my bike past her neighborhood. She gave a few possible names as fathers, so my dad had his DNA tested. I am still learning (a lot) about DNA research.<br />
<br />
I watched a video here: http://www.genealogyjunkie.net/dna-tips-tools--managing-matches.html that explained many details about DNA tests and finding common ancestors. I highly recommend it.Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10053294732592347387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472582965204069135.post-77076636211248366312016-02-24T22:49:00.000-05:002016-02-24T22:49:24.371-05:00Almost done & some helpful links!My family history will never be completed, but I am almost done with my family history degree! I have adopted a get-her-done attitude and am making steady progress. In just over two months I will be able to walk across the stage as a college graduate. I am thrilled!<br />
<br />
I want to find some way to share all of the discoveries that I am making. Technology has certainly simplified parts of the family history process, especially education.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>BYU's Family History Library is one of the largest. They have made many videos about research appealing to a wide variety of skill levels. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7hqNOQt-2AfeVEpDuc7sCA" target="_blank">Here's the link</a> to their youtube channel.</li>
<li>RootsTech 2016 was amazing. I attended 14 sessions and watched several more when I returned home. <a href="http://www.rootstech.org/video2/4739804696001" target="_blank">This website</a> includes over 20 hours of archived class videos for 2016. I especially enjoy Paula Williams Madison's talk about the benefits of indexing for her family.</li>
<li>I love digitized newspapers. Wisconsin's Door County <a href="http://doorcountynewspapers.org/" target="_blank">newspaper website</a> is amazing. I love the partial word completion that helps me find alternate spellings. I have spent many productive hours learning about the comings and goings of family members (Madoche, McDermott, Jergeson/Jorgenson, and others) through the weekly newspaper. Englebret and Mary Jergeson had fourteen children, but only five survived well into adulthood. The others all died of diseases that we are now immunized for, including seven deaths from tuberculosis (consumption), plus others from scarlet fever, and diphtheria.</li>

I have three classes through BYU Independent Study, including British sources, paleography, and Historian's Craft. I am trying to gain every bit of knowledge that I can from these classes. Ultimately, I end up rereading my notes and learning more each time.<div><br></div><div>I am finally starting to grasp the concept of a research plan and a research report. I have started to write a compiled lineage as I work, adding appropriately formatted sources at the bottom (Whoa!). Working this way has made my research more direct and thorough. I found a blog that explains research plans in many ways: genealogycertification.wordpress.com/2015/07/03/research-plans-ii/</div><div><br></div><div>My two current research projects are the Barnes family in Cheshire, England and the Binley family in Holmes County, Ohio.</div><div><br></div><div>I am currently super distracted as I attempt to work on classes. I did a lot of research while I was in Utah in June, and I am delaying typing up my research logs & writing research reports. My laptop is a 17' functional dinosaur. It works but it is way to bulky & weighty to carry around. Hopefully, I can find a reasonably priced, smaller version before my next outing. I tried just using the ipad but it was not good for anything beyond transcribing short texts.</div><div><br></div><div>I felt compelled to research a friend's family after seeing a pedigree from 1991 in circulation on my desk several times throughout the last month. I tried back in the day but did not have enough knowledge about British records. I was able to discern relationships and find data to reinforce the feelings. </div><div><br></div><div>I strongly believe that life continues beyond the grave, and once we begin the great work of gathering the dead, we are given heavenly help to find those who wish to be found.</div><div><br></div><div>Happy searching!</div>Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10053294732592347387noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472582965204069135.post-66869017105784219792014-04-17T21:39:00.002-04:002014-08-09T08:53:58.220-04:00Court CasesFor one who's frequently confused about the legal system, the course "History and the Law" has been a challenge. I am trying to learn all that I can for my next midterm & processing documents that I have already seen.<br />
<br />
John Buck signed an indenture with his (uncle?) Moses Donaldson. Tonight, I found the meaning in <a href="http://www.constitution.org/bouv/bouvier.htm" target="_blank">Bouvier's Legal Dictionary (1856)</a>:<br />
<br />
<div style="tab-stops: 139.95pt;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>INDENTURE, conveyancing. An instrument of writing
containing a conveyance or contract between two or more persons, usually
indented or cut unevenly, or in and out, on the top or, side.<br /><span style="color: black;">2. Formerly it was common to make
two instruments exactly alike, and it was then usual to write both on the same
parchment, with some words or letters written between them, through which the
parchment was cut, either in a straight or indented line, in such a manner as
to leave one-half of the word on one part, and half on the other. The
instrument usually commences with these words, "This indenture,"
which were not formerly sufficient, unless the parchment or paper was actually
indented to make an indenture 5 Co. 20; but now, if the form of indenting the
parchment be wanting, it may be supplied by being done in court, this being
mere form. Besides, it would be exceedingly difficult with even the most
perfect instruments, to out parchment or paper without indenting it. Vide Bac.

<span style="color: black;">I haven't checked to see if there was really an indenture on the land records.</span>Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10053294732592347387noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472582965204069135.post-27182113788497569052014-04-06T22:03:00.001-04:002014-08-09T08:49:02.633-04:00Writing a Narrative HistoryI have taken two different classes that have required taking lots of little facts and details and translating them into a narrative biography. The process that I learned makes it "simple" to take anyone's facts and make a story.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>(Before the first step): Talk to living descendants. What stories do your family members already know about an individual?</li>
<li>The first step for me in writing a simple biography is to check for an obituary that gives dates and details about an individual's life and values. Also, perhaps someone has already written a short biography about the person. Check with family members and societies for these records (Daughters of the Utah Pioneers for example).</li>
<li>Next, trace each individual in the family through the census records until his or her death -- as far as is reasonable. I record everything on a family group sheet and/or in a timeline. Many times the solutions to family mysteries are found in tracing their children.</li>
<li>Then, check county or state vital records for births, marriages, and deaths. Once again everything is recorded and analyzed.</li>
<li>Find a map that shows the area at the time of the person's life. <a href="http://www.davidrumsey.com/" target="_blank">David Rumsey Historical Maps </a>has wonderful resources.</li>
<li>Check out local and county histories for each area the person lived. Many books have become free of copyright restrictions and are now posted online. <a href="http://archive.org/">Archive.org</a> and <a href="http://books.familysearch.org/">books.familysearch.org</a> are two sites with many historical publications. For example, I could search for "Franklin County Ohio" and come up with several books.</li>
<li>If you haven't already, make a simple timeline to see how events and people fit together. This was an especially useful tool in my great-grandma Helen's life. </li>
</ul>

</tbody></table>
<ul><ul>
<li>Helen (Keeler) Martin lived in Lewiston, Idaho with her husband York Martin. On 17 July 1929, she gave birth do a baby Donald. He lived for about five months and then died on 15 Dec 1929 of marasmus (a form of malnutrition). Meanwhile, York Martin became ill with liver cancer and passed away on 3 Jan 1930. Talk about major life stressors! Grandma Helen gave birth, struggled with a sick infant and husband, and then lost both of them in about two weeks. York was allowed to go home for Christmas before he died; Grandma Peggy was conceived during this visit and born nine months later. (Yay!) Before making the timeline, I did not know how each individual event played together in the story of Helen's life.</li>
</ul>
<li>Look for major events that happened during your ancestor's life. What about the Civil War? the Great Depression? Read in the local and county histories for ways that events affected your ancestor.</li>
<li>Lastly, if your ancestors were part of early Mormon pioneer history, check out the links in the sidebar for amazing resources. </li>
</ul>
<div>
Once I began writing the first history, I found the amount of information overwhelming. The Door County Library digitized many early newspapers, so it was possible to view many details about the lives of family members. I had to decide how long I wanted the story and what information to include. </div>
<br />
Please note that I don't like feelings put into stories. If I don't know that John Doe smiled when he looked around his farm, I don't want to write it. Once I read <a href="http://www.americanheritage.com/content/secret-life-developing-country" target="_blank">"The Secret Life of a Developing Country (Ours),"</a> I realized that my values and thought process is very different from someone several hundred years earlier.Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10053294732592347387noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472582965204069135.post-68745858061757276452014-02-23T00:43:00.001-05:002014-08-09T08:50:56.463-04:00John McDermott and Family<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">by Jenna C.

John
and Margaret (Rourke) McDermott left Ireland during the great potato famine.
Beginning in 1845, a fungus ruined Ireland’s potato crop. A few days after the
potatoes were harvested, they turned into a slimy, black rotten mass. Diseases
caused by malnutrition spread throughout Ireland. Irish Catholics, including
the McDermotts, were at a disadvantage because they were prohibited from
purchasing land or having a profession. Many rented small, five-acre plots of
land from absentee landlords.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=472582965204069135#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black;">[1]</span></span></span></a> Within five years, the Irish population was
reduced by twenty-five percent due to death and emigration. The McDermotts
immigrated to Canada in 1847.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=472582965204069135#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title=""><sup><sup><span style="color: black;">[2]</span></sup></sup></a> The family included John, Margaret, and three

John living in Melbourne, Sherbrooke County, Quebec with his wife, Margaret,

reported their religion as Roman Catholic, and John is working as a laborer.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=472582965204069135#_ftn4" name="_ftnref4" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn4;" title=""><sup><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><sup>[4]</sup><!--[endif]--></span></sup></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The family moved from Quebec to Ontario

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">John soon married Mary Neagle, who was also born
in Ireland. They had five children Bryan, Thomas, Catherine (Kitty), Joseph,
and Margaret. By 1862, John and Mary lived in a one-story log home in Perth,
Ontario, Canada West with seven children.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=472582965204069135#_ftn6" name="_ftnref6" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn6;" title=""><sup><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><sup><span style="color: black;">[6]</span></sup><!--[endif]--></span></sup></a>
Sometimes, large families would hire their children out to have fewer mouths to
feed and to provide additional income to the family. By 1862, Michael and John
Jr. were living away from home. Michael eventually became a blacksmith, so he
was probably working somewhere as an apprentice. John Jr. was living with James
Madden’s family in Perth.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=472582965204069135#_ftn7" name="_ftnref7" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn7;" title=""><sup><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><sup><span style="color: black;">[7]</span></sup><!--[endif]--></span></sup></a><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Maddens, McDermotts, and Madoches would

farmer and raising the children with everyone working together. The McDermotts

In the 1870 census, John is listed as a farmer who is unable to read or write.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">John McDermott went through the process to become
a United States citizen<span style="color: windowtext;">.
He immigrated to the United States, arriving at Port Huron, Saint Clair County,
Michigan in May 1864. Four years later, he made a declaration of intention at
the circuit court of St. Clair County, Michigan on 30 Apr 1868. He applied for
final citizenship in Door County circuit court on 17<sup> </sup>Feb 1874
stating that he had lived in the state of Wisconsin for at least one year and
the United States for five years.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=472582965204069135#_ftn10" name="_ftnref10" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn10;" title=""><sup><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><sup>[10]</sup><!--[endif]--></span></sup></a> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The land was swampy and “poor” according to surveyors, with swamps, two
streams, and hemlock, cedar, sugar, and birch trees. John owned land of his
own, never to be taken from him or his heirs, and he made certain of the land

that John had consumption or tuberculosis. “Tuberculosis seemed to consume
people from within with its symptoms of bloody cough, fever, pallor, and long
relentless wasting.”<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=472582965204069135#_ftn14" name="_ftnref14" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn14;" title=""><sup><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><sup><span style="color: black;">[14]</span></sup><!--[endif]--></span></sup></a>
The disease was prevalent in Europe in the 1800s, causing one of every seven
deaths. The disease needs dark, damp, and poorly ventilated facilities to be
transmitted. At least ninety percent of people who were infected with the
disease did not develop symptoms. The disease spread easily when an infected
individual coughed, sneezed, or talked and could lie dormant for decades before
flaring up and killing the victim. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

tuberculosis, John had time to leave a will and detailed life story for his

John arranged the payment of all of his debts and bequeathed his homestead to
his son, Bryan McDermott. Additionally, Michael, Ann, Thomas, Catherine,
Joseph, and Margaret McDermott were to each receive a sum of fifty dollars
each, one child each year getting fifty dollars, starting with the oldest. A
restriction was added that Bryan McDermott could not in his lifetime “encumber”
the property for any amount more than one hundred dollars.<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=472582965204069135#_ftn18" name="_ftnref18" style="mso-footnote-id: ftn18;" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="mso-special-character: footnote;"><!--[if !supportFootnotes]--><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black;">[18]</span></span><!--[endif]--></span></span></a> Plat maps from later

I have learned so much in the past few years about more thorough research & about finding the rest of the story.<br />
<br />
I am about halfway through with History 317: Americans and the Law. I bounce back & forth between being annoyed that so much material is about legal stuff <u>and</u> being perplexed by the legal complexities of the research. Over the past week I have transcribed a lot of court and land documents for the Buck family in Pickaway County, Ohio. I was very confused until I started writing events down in a timeline. [Note: I don't like to line item every detail in RootsMagic because I don't like the cluttered family group sheet at the end.] The time line helped make a little sense of John Buck's tumultuous young adult life.<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>In <b>1811</b> John Buck agreed to be an apprentice to John Gill to learn how to be a house carpenter. Within six months, he broke his contract & went off to parts unknown. (War of 1812) He was ordered to pay John Gill $ .</li>
<li>John Buck served in the War of 1812. He was present at the surrender of General Hull at Detroit in <b>August 1812 </b>& was out until at least 25 Oct 1812.</li>
<li>John Buck was "firmly bound to Moses Donaldson" for $260 & certain other "estate administrators" in <b>March 1813. </b>He promised to pay it back by 1st July 1814 or to give up his share of the land in Walnut Township. The indenture was filed 5 July 1814, hinting that perhaps John Buck did not pay the money back on time.</li>
<li>John Buck served with Captain McElwain's company from <b>28 April 1813 </b>to 16 July 1813.</li>
<li>In <b>February 1814</b> the court case continued about the covenant breaking with John Gill.</li>
<li>From <b>16 Feb 1814 to 16 June 1814</b>, John Buck served with Captain Luther Shepherd's company. [<i>I do not know if he loved the cause that the US was fighting for or if he was just trying to avoid all of his legal troubles.]</i></li>
<li>On <b>4 Sep 1815</b>, William Williamson, John Hedges/Hodges, and Moses Donaldson were held & firmly bound for $300. William Williamson was appointed the guardian of Jane Buck (age10) and Polly Buck (age 8). [<i>Perhaps Anne Buck Sr died, leaving the girls in need of a guardian.</i>]</li>
<li>In<b> early 1815</b>, John Buck again served in the military.</li>
<li>In <b>July 1817</b> John Buck did "unlawfully make an assault [on] Rebecca Birchum then and there unlawfully shake beat wound and [?] hit to the great damage of her." </li>
<li>In <b>September 1817 </b>a jury heard charges in the assault and battery charge. <u>If</u> I understand the documents correctly, John was in jail until at least <b>February 1819</b>.</li>
<li>In <b>1817</b> Joseph Buck Jr and Anne his wife made an indenture with Moses Donaldson for $100. The land was originally purchased in 1805 by Joseph Buck Sr and Anne <i>his</i> wife. (Maybe I should call them Anne Buck Jr and Anne Buck Sr.) Anne Jr had to agree to the indenture.</li>
<li><i>What on earth is an indenture?!</i></li>
<li>On <b>9 Aug 1819</b> John Buck and Barbary his wife and Elizabeth Buck made an indenture with Moses Donaldson for $200. The deed noted that Joseph Buck was the father and father-in-law of the said parties. <i>Was Elizabeth Buck Joseph's daughter or daughter-in-law? Would inheritance laws have passed portions of property to the wife or just to the direct descendant?</i></li>
<li>On <b>12 June 1820</b> Joseph Buck (Jr) made an indenture with Moses Donaldson for $150.</li>
<li>On <b>16 May 1826 </b>Mary Buck signed an indenture with Rosannah Donaldson for $122.50. </li>
<li>On <b>7 May 1836 </b>Marian Donaldson and John Hughes were bound to Zachariah Pritchett for $700. Marian was a minor & sold her 1/6th undivided part of the land. She was one of the heirs of M.A. Donaldson.</li>
<li>On <b>20 Dec 1839</b> Mary Ann Donaldson made a contract with Zachariah Prichet for $339.33.</li>
</ul>
<br />
I still have a lot more questions than answers, but sifting through court, land, and military records have painted a picture of John Buck.<br />

I learn a little more and realize what I lack frequently. I want to keep learning, but I would like to do it more efficiently.<br />
<br />
I recently watched a video that opened my eyes to the power of streaming video & *free* online learning. The course description says,<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="color: #666666;">This class explains how family historians can accurately deduce ancestors’ identities and many aspects of their lives by digging below “surface information” in genealogical records and combining information from several sources. Useful in many situations, inferential methodology is especially helpful where records do not state relationships.</span></span><br />

The episode took quite a while to watch, but I learned so much!</div>
<div class="last" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 18px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<ol>
<li style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Start with a focused research goal.</li>
<ul style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
<li><span style="color: #666666;">My current research objective: Locate the parents and siblings of John Buck who married Barbara Buck in Franklin County, Ohio in 1813.</span></li>
</ul>
<li style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Search broadly - You don't want to miss any important information. Look at every possible record & take each person from birth to death.</li>
<ul>
<li style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Location: Don't look at just one county or location. Expand the search to surrounding areas. <span style="color: #666666;">John Buck lived in Pickaway County, Ohio at the time of his death, but Pickaway County was created from Franklin County (and others) in 1810.</span></li>
<li style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Time: Expand to one generation before and after the ancestor. It takes a lot of research to establish one relationship. <span style="color: #666666;">Moses Donaldson married Rosy Buck, Franklin County, 17 Oct 1805. Is Rosy Joseph's sister? Land records for John Buck and his siblings involve Moses Donaldson from 1814-1820, which include statements about John's father Joseph Buck as well as administrators in the probate case. It is not a proven relationship, but it definitely seems more likely given the time, place, and continuing relationship.</span></li>
<li style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Associates: Often the key info is in a record listing someone else. Ancestor could be mentioned in friends' or neighbors' records. Extend beyond the person & surname of interest - any of their records could include information. Also, collect information on every person with the surname in the localities. Only later will the relationships become clear & you will save time by not having to go re-examine the records. </li>
<li><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Sans, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">PROBATE & LAND RECORDS are crucial to establishing relationships. Every piece of land needs to be followed all the way through. Every probate document and court document needs to be seen. Remember too that children were often omitted from a will. </span></span><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Sans, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Early vital records and census records did not report relationships. But several land documents that I have for John Buck include the phrase "my father, Joseph Buck" and "my wife, Barbary Buck". I am still waiting for probate records from Franklin County at the Ohio State Genealogical Society for Joseph Buck's probate to learn more.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Sans, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Understand the records. What is the jurisdiction (city, county, state) and the time period that your ancestor lived in? Which records are available? What can you find in each record? One of the most insightful comments I heard on a recent video had to do with the person having to be "of age" so being able to calculate when they turned 21 by when they showed up in legal documents. </span></span></li>
</ol>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 18px;"><ul><ul>
<li>Joseph Buck bought Congress Lands at public auction in 1805. Searching the Pickaway County land records showed a completed purchase in 1815 (ten years later). The official records are likely at the National Archives in Chicago with Chillicothe Land Office Records or at the FHL in Salt Lake City in a book someone wrote about these records.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</span><ol>
<li style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Correlate evidence - Make a timeline to help put events into perspective. </li>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Sans, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Also, compare & contrast the information that is presented in each record. Is one record more reliable than the other? A death certificate is a primary source for the death date and place and burial information. However, the information may not be as reliable for the person's birth place or parents names. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Lucida Grande, Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Sans, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">John Buck's son, Henry Buck, was a veteran of the Mexican War and the Civil War. He was discharged because he became partially blind & deaf. One record from the National Soldier's Home said that he was a widow. Henry Buck was married to Lavinia Philips in 1846, but she is never in the census records. Perhaps she died before 1850 or left while Henry was away at the Mexican War. His obituary states that he was single or never married. The marriage record and his report to the National Soldier's Home are more reliable than an article written by a newspaper reporter at the end of his life.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<li style="font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Sans', Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">Write down the results you have gained/discovered. Some of this is knowledge that no other living person knows. We have an obligation to share our logic and conclusions with others in writing.</li>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me summarize <b><i>one lesson of fourteen</i></b>: </div>
<div>
Update family group sheets with information from last weeks exhaustive (& exhausting) survey of already submitted information on the web. Don't forget correct citations.</div>
<div>
AND</div>
<div>
Read the article in the Appendix.</div>
<div>
AND</div>
<div>
Read CHAPTERS 3, 6, 7, 18, 19, 20, 22, and review chapter 2 of one book.</div>
<div>
AND</div>
<div>
Read pages 81-193 in the boring book. (112 pages!!)</div>
<div>
AND</div>
<div>
Read another article in the Appendix.</div>
<div>
AND</div>
<div>
Read discussion material in this lesson. (only 4-5 pages)</div>
<div>
AND </div>
<div>
Read the abstract of someone's property, reviewing each page for types of real property. Describe each transaction. If there are any undefined types, look up in Black's Law Dictionary.</div>
<div>
AND </div>
<div>
Don't forget to submit your research log.</div>
<div>
AND </div>
<div>
The Locality Survey. (the most fun but time intensive of the list!): </div>
<div>
Select a county. Prepare a research report for the county & towns in that county where the selected ancestral family lived. Include a brief description of your research status, a brief review of the jurisdictional history, a list of records from the FHL in SLC, a list of records from one of the cataloging systems like WorldCat (references to MANY libraries throughout US), also a Google search, Cyndi's List, & the US Genweb project; copies of maps both modern & ancient plus entries from gazetteers & atlases; a Bibliography of resources identified through searches above, in a specific $60 textbook format; a DETAILED RESEARCH PLAN with records to search & film numbers & addresses; plus copies of relevant items for future reference.</div>
<div>
AND</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">"if you have time" haaahahaha - watch the movie </span><i style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Far and Away</i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am learning a lot while going through this process, but if I didn't really, really feel passionate about genealogy, I'd be throwing in the towel on this one!!! I am grateful that I have 25+ years of research experience. I am trying to learn & just take one chunk at a time, but I am trying to finish this class in 3-4 months. Ahhhh!!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next entry I will include some links to helpful videos that I've watched to help grasp some of the concepts. Yay for YouTube, Ancestry, & FamilySearch.<br />

I gained a desire to work on my family history. I knew <i>very</i> little of my family history. I started at the genealogy library on the 4th floor of the HBLL & gained knowledge little by little. I spent many Saturdays at the library in Salt Lake City, took classes at BYU, and prayed and learned a lot! I am happy with how much I have learned.<br />
<br />

<br />
<h2>
BUT</h2>
<div>
I have not kept good research notes along the way. I have several boxes of family history papers, many priceless family photographs, plus online files and emails. I take good care of the pictures by having them in archival boxes in one location. I have scanned many but not all with my Canon MX860 printer. (It scans a group of pictures and then automatically separates them into individual files!!) </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am currently taking HIST 433 for my degree "Writing a Narrative Biography" and spending hours and hours every day going back through my records, using RootsMagic's source feature, and undoing years of neglect. In the end, I will have a super record of the research that I have done. For now, I have resolved to take better notes and filing research under logical categories.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you are interested in keeping better records, I would recommend the article linked <a href="https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Organize_your_genealogy" target="_blank">here.</a> FamilySearch Wiki has as much information about doing family history as you could possibly need! I am thinking of regularly scheduled class breaks to learn about what I should be learning. (haha)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's what I am doing now for census records -- choose one family unit (father, mother, children) and run the family through the census. (The McDermotts came to America in about 1870. I check the census for 1870, 1880, (1890 was destroyed), 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930, 1940. The principle applies to every other document.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I find a family that fits the name, dates, and places of my family, I type the reference into RootsMagic. For example, the Frank McDermott family is in the 1900 US Census, Clay Banks, Door, Wisconsin; E.D. (<i>enumeration district)</i>, page, dwelling & family number. Also, I enter the film or online location of the record. (<i>Ancestry.com</i>) Next, I go into the detail source portion of RootsMagic and enter everything from the census record.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Research Notes:</b></div>
<div>
Frank McDermott, head, June 1850, 49, married 15 years, CAN E/IRE/IRE (<i>he was born in Canada East, his father & mother were born in Ireland), </i>immigrated 1868, naturalized; postmaster; owned home, free (<i>no mortgage</i>), house.</div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Marie E., wife, Oct 1858, 41, married, 15 years, 4 children, 2 living; <i>(further research will find what happened) </i>WIS/IRE/IRE</div>
<div>
Valentine J., son, Nov 1886, 13 years, single, WIS/CAN E/WIS, at school 8 months</div>
<div>
John H., son, Oct 1890, 9, single, WIS/CAN E/WIS, at school 8 months.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<i>Frank McDermott was the brother of my great-great-great grandmother Mary McDermott Madoche. He ran a cheese factory with his brother-in-law, Eugene Madoche, and split postmaster duties depending on which political party was in office. The two families were neighbors in Door county, Wisconsin. Sometimes, research problems are solved by looking into the siblings' lives.</i></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
I will also note if any family members are living nearby (on the same page). Dwellings 9, 11, 13, & 18 have family members. I once heard that a thorough genealogist will collect everyone for the page before and after plus the entire page of the family. I am not that thorough although I do look on the current page.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On RootsMagic I will save the source (alt+o), then highlight & memorize the line (alt+m), close the individual (alt+o,alt+o), and save the record to each member listed in the census (Frank, Marie, Valentine, & John). If I don't have a record of the deaths of the other two children, I will make a note on their files as well.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is what works for me. I repeat the process for each member of the family and each census year that they are alive.</div>

As I have studied different events in history, I have naturally wondered if any of <em>my people</em> were present at different events. Imagine my surprise when I found personal accounts of the events at Farr West, Missouri and other places. I read about Swiss converts who upon travleing to the United States lost a baby on the way and had to bury him in the Atlantic Ocean. How would you even move forward after this? I have also found ancestors from the Irish potato famine, the Mennonite persecutions in the 1600s, and the Civil War. It is my desire to learn about the history of the times & explain how my people fit into the history of the time. (Think <em>Who Do You Think You Are?</em> without the possibility of commercials or cancellation.)Jennahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10053294732592347387noreply@blogger.com0
