rs who arrived in california before 1860 4 local histories and newspapers detail wagon trains and their departure it was both exciting and devastating to communities and families small town newspapers also reprinted letters sent home for the community to read sometimes enticing others to follow and just as frequently warnings of the danger 5 the oregon california trails association octa hosts of paper trail an online database guide to overland pioneer names and documents is a great place to begin your diary manuscript and written information search it is subscription based but the initial search is free this database will guide you to the correct repository you cannot download the diary from this location but it leads you to where to go using a surname search search for your ancestors in writings what did five 5 month travelers do they recorded their journeys in diaries and letters back home detailing the trip ok not all of them but you will be surprised where you may find your ancestor s name sometimes the diaries are filled with gruesome details as the writer recalls on paper a companion s demise sometimes the accounts are so detailed that they read like a novel sometimes they just follow a train of thought or confirm a reader s suspicion i proved that a religious group bethel community occupied settlements in both missouri and oregon i located the letters that leader william kiel wrote to his congregation back home in missouri from 1855 1870 he even threatened to excommunicate bar them from the bethel community a few missourians for raising the union flag and endangering the community interestingly enough he was writing from his new bethel community in oregon the letters were filled with historical data names of members and religious practices 1 posted by

were wagon trains families packed their belongings and carried their personal wealth overland to reach the newly opened west lands sometimes families were left behind as the pioneer travelled with a wagon train this westward migration wasn t just for those panning for gold there were the mormon s escaping persecution the future vintner wanting rich soil and those who made a living in transport three key resources researchers may wish to begin their ancestors westward migration by perusing the following 1 national frontier trails independence mo a partner of the oregon california trails association this repository holds over forty eight thousand 48 000 pioneers in their database 2 merrill j mattes collection the merrill j mattes research library is believed to be the largest public research library in the nation focused on the overland trails 3 state historical society of missouri manuscript collection holds includes personal papers maps and photographic records of westward expansion and local trails be sure to scour the e b trail collection c2071 for steamboat memorabilia and various diary map collections documenting historic routes like the santa fe trail and missouri river journeys also research tips hints america mathews overland diary 1857 shsmo not every family researcher will find great grandpa s passage recorded in diaries or even his name but by narrowing his year and month of travel you may find his experience recorded through the eyes of his neighbors and friends analyze diaries from his hometown follow the path and his final settlement to determine his passage track military forts activities along the route the military controlled the trails and would detain small groups travel for safety this may have delayed your pioneers trip remember others traveled by water the trip from louisiana up the mississippi river was still arduous but may have been your ancestor s best option if they were not travelling with a large wagon train through hostile territories newspaper accounts are a great resource of those who arrived west 9 more resources and database a3genealogy researchers proved that a religious group bethel community occupied settlements in both missouri and oregon by locating the letters that leader william kiel wrote to his congregation back home in missouri from 1855 1870 he even threatened to excommunicate bar them from the bethel community a few missourians for raising the union flag and endangering the community interestingly enough he was writing from his new bethel community in oregon the letters were filled with historical data names of members and religious practices 1 one of our favorite websites oregon california trails association holds over 48 thousand pioneers in their database the oregon genealogical society and

of the gold rush but rarely settled in the unwelcoming oregon review the black laws of oregon 1844 1857 even though many enslavers carried enslaved people on their westward trek this same westward path was integral to successful escape plans if you need to refresh your history of the role african americans played during this westward movement you may wish to read blacks in gold rush california by rudolph m lapp another great resource is the negro trail blazers of california by delilah l beasley original 1818 reprinted 1969 1 kiel wm letters 1855 1870 bethel community to oregon 24 jun 1855

war ancestors excerpt how to research pre revolutionary war ancestors 2016 finding family before 1776 when genealogists hit the colonial period many suddenly feel the trail goes cold there is no 1easy civil registration few family stories survive records may be scattered damaged or hidden in places researchers never think to look but your ancestor did not appear in america in 1776 they lived worked married bought land went to court paid taxes served apprenticeships worshipped migrated and sometimes got into trouble long before the revolutionary war the key is learning where early lives were documented so where were they documented for pre revolutionary ancestors success often comes from looking beyond birth marriage and death records here are 12 record sets the basics that should be reviewed if extant land grants and deeds tax lists church registers probate files petitions militia lists shipping records indenture contracts apprenticeship records court minutes merchant account books newspapers cemetery and churchyard records was your ancestor a sailor pirate merchant or convict when genealogists hit the colonial period many suddenly feel the trail goes cold have you considered that your ancestor may have gotten into trouble long before the revolutionary war one overlooked source for colonial era research is maritime court records if your ancestor worked at sea traded goods was accused of piracy transported cargo or arrived as a convict laborer records may appear in british admiralty or colonial vice admiralty courts check out the proceedings of vice admiralty courts in north america the west indies and africa these courts handled maritime disputes seizures wages smuggling and other sea related matters across the colonies colonial vice admiralty courts existed in several regions and jurisdiction sometimes crossed colony lines that means an ancestor living in one colony may appear in records held elsewhere unexpected women don t forget the women they were not so squeaky clean women appear in colonial records more often than many assume check out these 9 record sets widow petitions dower claims probate distributions church discipline cases guardianship records poor relief requests newspaper notices runaway servant advertisements court complaints and testimony reminder a woman may be the key to proving an entire family line smart tip remember that podcast on one place studies this is a perfect chance to research by the community not just name if records are sparse study the community ask who were the neighbors who witnessed deeds who appeared in the same tax district who married into the family what church served the area what migration route did families use sometimes your ancestor is hiding inside the records of relatives neighbors or associates 7 smart places to search pre 1776 ancestors 1 state archives many colonial court land and legislative records are preserved at the state level 2 county courthouses especially for deeds probate and local court minutes 3 historical societies local collections may contain manuscripts family papers maps and cemetery transcriptions 4 university libraries many hold digitized colonial collections and regional papers 5 british repositories especially for emigrants convicts merchants and military matters 6 church archives baptisms marriages burials pew lists and vestry records can be gold 7 digitized databases search modern collections repeatedly new material appears all the time lost records some colonial records were destroyed by war fire weather and time however a burned courthouse does not always mean a dead end search for the following in your state archives and repositories tax rolls neighboring county records church records newspapers land transfers probate heirs militia lists court references in later cases the trail may be faint but it is often still there posted by tracing ancestors formerly a3genealogy at 9 37 pm 0 comments tuesday

assuming the records will all be in one place puerto rico sits at the crossroads of spanish colonial history u s territorial governance military eligibility and changing citizenship law before 1898 puerto rico was under spanish control that means earlier genealogical records are often found in catholic parish registers spanish language civil and administrative records local municipal records land tax and notarial records before 1917 your puerto rican ancestor records may be found in spanish language local records church records municipal civil records territorial administrative records after the spanish american war in 1898 puerto rico became a territory of the united states in 1917 the jones shafroth act granted u s citizenship to puerto ricans t he state columbia sc tuesday june 05 1917 so after 1917 your ancestor may also begin appearing in u s federal records world war i draft cards military service records other citizenship related documentation that means one person may appear across two governments two languages and two legal systems over the course of a lifetime your ancestor may appear in a spanish language baptismal register a civil marriage record a u s draft registration a later federal military or migration record at first glance it may not look like the same person you may see n ame spelling changes anglicized versions of names different places listed
