ip s of the day i made several finds some of which been mentioned here already i also have several items from previous trips that i need to write as well sometimes it takes time to get organized after a trip organization is best done as soon as possible after returning home don t rely on your memory as a place to keep your genealogical wish list there also were a few things i was reminded of while researching they will be used as upcoming tips posted by bubba at 12 02 am email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 29 may 2015 stephen gibson middlesex county estate sale

auswanderungskonses 1842 1919 that the family history library has on microfilm this set of microfilmed materials only applies to those individuals who were leaving the ostfriesland area of germany it does not cover the entire northern region of hannover nor does it include every ostfriesian immigrant who left for america bertus grass was born in july of 1851 in backemoor and was living in wiesens when he prepared to immigrate not all ostfriesian immigrants are covered in this record set while my study was anecdotal and not really even a study i found three relatives ancestors siblings of ancestors and first cousins of ancestors in this series that s not very many considering that one half of my family hails from ostfriesland and many extended members of my family immigrated in the last half of the 19th century the items in this series tend to be more heavily weighted to the last half of the time period covered the series is alphabetical based upon first letter of the last name they are not in chronological order within a series as i discovered the hard way in a future post we ll see how bertus immigration date compares with the date of this document if you ve got immigrant ancestors from germany see if there are similar emigration preparation documents available these are not village or kries level records usually although some books of extractions for some specific villages have been published how much time elapsed before he arrived in the united states posted by bubba at 9 18 pm email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest more lines over letters to indicate double consonants in an earlier blog post we mentioned lines above consonants being used as a short hand to indicate a double letter the sample item in that discussion was from the late 19th century in nebraska by a pastor whose ethnicity was unknown but was probably german in this 1796 baptismal entry for johann michael trautvetter the same notation is used in fact it s used twice as the godfather is also named johann michael trautvetter and the line over the first n in his first name also has the same meaning posted by bubba at 8 04 pm email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest a christening for johann george trautvetter in 1798 this was another of my big finds at the family history library in salt lake the baptismal record for johann george trautvetter from 1798 in salzungen thuringen germany i located records for two other children of erasmus and anna katharina gross trautvetter in those records later children could not be located as the records stopped after the third child was located and i have reason to believe that the three children i located were their older ones these records underlined the name of the father instead of the child that s one reason i didn t find the record when i used these records twenty years ago there s another reason we ll mention in a future blog post and there s a few genealogy lesson reminders we ll be running in genealogy tip of the day based on these records posted by bubba at 5 51 pm email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 26 may 2015 nebraska needs order in the 1880s at least according to ancestry com i understand organization but some organization i can do without in 2013 i wrote a post called is ancestry com putting households in abc order apparently they still are the 1885 nebraska state census lists the household of frank goldenstein in the following order frank goldenstein annie tjoda renhart fairly typical order for the time period when i look at the view record tab on ancestry com s nebraska state census collection 1860 1865 i obtain the following results as shown in the image taken from their website the household members are displayed in alphabetical order seem a little strange to me so i looked at a household in 1885 where there were individuals with different last names as shown in the image below those household members were also listed in alphabetical order strange i m not certain why ancestry com would choose to display the results in this manner all of which makes the continual point that looking at the actual record is key key there we said it twice posted by bubba at 12 01 pm email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 25 may 2015 in support of my son focke this is probably one of the greatest finds i have ever had at the family history library in salt lake city i mentioned focke goldenstein s emigration materials from ostfriesland germany in an earlier blog post focke gets permission to immigrate in 1873 the records also included a letter from september 1873 where his father apparently is giving his consent for focke to emigrate and also indicating that focke s

15 pm email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest citation creation and error reduction we are usually told to cite our sources because it allows us to go back and find things again if necessary and it assists us in the analysis of information another reason reducing errors created by the researcher creating citations after the research has been done can be time consuming tedious and repetitive process for that reason it s a good idea to capture information needed for the citation as the research is being done that s especially true when creating digital images from microfilm at the family history library in salt lake the screen shot shown in this post shows the file name i used for an image taken from the section of deaths in the records of the evangelical church in aurich ostfriesland germany the entries are unpaginated and they are organized by year my goal with the file names is that they be long enough to contain relevant detail to get me back to that image if i needed to and to allow me to find the file by searching on the contents of the file name just in case i save the file and can t remember where i saved it on my computer when taking digital images of the desired record i always make an image that includes the record of interest and the top of the page usually the whole page to be honest there are several reasons for this sometimes the top of the page contains headers particularly in those years when records were written on forms it s easier to analyze handwriting when one has more than one entry from the register interpreting the item in context can t be done if there are no other entries to provide context the top of the page frequently contains page numbers the top of the page often contains other identifying information sometimes page numbers are on the bottom that s when copying the whole page is advised then i usually copy just the item of interest magnifying the image to make it easier later to read all the image turns out there s another reason i should include the entire page reduce the chance i make careless mistakes the file name i used to save this image included 1838 for the year of the record the year listed on the actual record is 1839 i was simply off by a year if i had only made an image of the entry for ameling the year would not have been included just the month and day and then later i would have wondered why i was off on his death by one year and someone else could have copied that information and it could have been repeated over and over but because i made an image of the entire page i caught my error and i caught it because i was thinking about citations while i was actually researching one more reason to cite your sources posted by bubba at 11 11 am email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest what happened after ameling died i haven t had time to translate it yet but this 1839 entry from the evangelical church in aurich ostfriesland germany indicates that ameling jansen sartorius died on 28 january 1839 married in aurich in 1833 ameling left behind his wife meta margareta janssen and three children now for the question reading through the unindexed church records is time consuming meta was not originally from aurich and baptismal records for her children indicate that her family was from an outlying village do i continue to look for meta in the records at aurich perhaps for a second marriage do i look for meta in the records where her family was living did the young widow with three small children return home or stay searching unindexed records of this type takes time and i want to maximize the chance i find meta quickly meta s son hinrich is my ancestor this pretty much invalidates the story that hinrich s parents came to america living and dying near peoria illinois unless of course hinrich s mother married again and someone confused his father with his step fathe stay tuned posted by bubba

brown in middlesex county massachusetts the mother and daughter are requesting that the court appoint a local man as the daughter s guardian begin transcription for it my desier and my daughter mary browns that deacon stephen gipson should be put in garden for mary mary brown end transcription i m not quite certain about the for it part of the transcription but it seems to make sense in this context the spelling of guardian as garden is easy to understand especially if the note was written by someone not overly familiar with legal terms the mary mary appears to be correct well the first mary refers to the daughter and the second to the mother it appears that this document was written and signed by the same person but i ll have to compare this purported signature of mary to other

recent update on familysearch of the 1892 new york state census reminded me that the name of one family for which i was looking is always hopelessly misspelled desmarais when i can i ve taken to searching without using that last name focusing instead on other search paramaters in my case i was pretty certain the family of interest was living in clinton county new york and child levi s name didn t have the issues with variants and diminutives that the names of the other children did there were several results that matched my query but only one had a last name reasonably close to desmarais the family was enumerated as demarra given how light the handwriting was i m fortunate that it was transcribed accurately all members of the lous demarra household were born in new york and all were citizens lous was a miner and there s no notation where on household begins and another one ends but the head of household is the one with an occupation leading one to infer where one
