Text of the page (random words):
life s journey skip to main skip to sidebar life s journey my interests are photography genealogy writing and travel actually i find that genealogy itself encompasses all of these interests so this blog will be about my travels on the road to find our long lost cousins to discover and record our family history including auto biographies in both text and photos to see how a particular person mentioned here fits into our family tree link to my father s or mother s genealogical web site scroll down right column friday august 31 2012 how many direct ancestors have i found on my pedigree in 10 generations out of 1022 possible persons to find the answer i created an ancestors report including generation numbers in my computer genealogy program ancestral quest i did not include myself since i m really not an ancestor yet then i added up the known ancestors in each generation details are shown in the table below click to enlarge as you can see i know almost all of my direct ancestors in the first 5 generations then my knowledge of the next 5 generations falls off precipitously in summary i only know 5 1 of a possible 1022 ancestors in my 10 generation pedigree except for the first 2 generations myself and my parents most of my ancestors were born overseas particularly in germany therefore it is quite challenging in terms of financial expense and time to find the names and vital statistics particularly of my immigrant ancestors see the last two columns in the table randy seaver of the blog geneamusings calls the percent knowledge of his direct ancestors ancestral name number that is he has knowledge of 544 names including his own name out of a possible 1023 names in 10 generations for an overall ancestral name number of 53 27 544 1023 randy beats my number by an order of magnitude unfortunately i do not know the parents of my paternal great grandfather karl streich of posen or west prussia waiting for ann robinson s and william hartley s 1842 civil marriage registration from gro england to determine her father s full name hopefully i will be able to find her mother s first name in 1841 u k census thus the number in this cell may be boosted from 12 to 14 in a couple of weeks and if i m really lucky one of the death certificates i ordered from pennsylvania vital statistics may have the maiden surname of my 2x great grandmother augusta m frederick hohnke as well as her parents as one of the comments attached to siever s blog indicated it s the story behind these names that is the most meaningful for a family historian and oh yes i have photographs for 7 out of 8 of my great grandparents i know what they look like and you know a picture is worth at least a thousand words maybe we should add another statistic ancestral picture number references and links judy g russell posted more lost than found in which she came up with an ancestral name number of 12 3 126 1022 randy seaver s blog on what s your ancestral name number his was 53 3 becky at kinexxions calculated 21 3 218 1022 of her direct ancestors were accounted for in her post this and that and 21 3 my pedigree with images posted by bob kramp at 6 37 pm 3 comments labels autobiographical mypedigree sunday august 5 2012 camping from a different point of view prince gallitzen state park in clearfield county pennsylvania has some great sites for handi capped persons it s a new experience for me and i m pleased can t carry a backpack like i used to i ve learned to adapt posted by bob kramp at 10 00 pm 2 comments thursday july 26 2012 groovin at gripitt should i take the time in the middle of the night to write in this blog or should i roll back over and catch more z s so that i ll be fresh for more german genealogy lectures at this year s gripitt conference that stands for genealogical reseach institute of pittsburgh and it s a week long intensive genealogical course with both day and evening lectures and some hands on exercises to do as well answer roll over and get some more rest there will be plenty of time later to blog or will there posted by bob kramp at 3 23 am no comments sunday october 16 2011 this is a test of my new ipad i can t seem to upload an image from my ipad or do anything with this new interface including swtching back to the old patience i ll keep trying i can add more text but only if i use the html option oh boy what a mess it s 0900 and time to hit the road again beautiful fall weather can t stay inside and worry about this stuff wish the help were written in english what the heck does send an mms mean just discovered sms is acronym for short message service which means that one uses an application that usually sends a few words over the internet such as twtter though i m not a subscriber is sms so difficult to write out america slow down and enjoy life posted by bob kramp at 8 48 am no comments wednesday march 2 2011 new additions to my pedigree for a frame of reference this was my pedigree before i spent a week collecting data at the family history library in salt lake city utah well my time is up in salt lake city time to pack my computer my notes and my clothes into a suitcase and fly back to charlotte nc before i left for slc a week ago i told my family and friends that if could not find even one more person to add to my pedigree it would be ok the trip would still be worth it i just wanted to see this world famous collection of genealogical data at the mormon s family history library to see what the library had to offer i was very impressed and pleased and moreover i did climb up a few more branches on my family tree also i had the opportunity to see changes that are happening at the library for example the library catalogue is searched by going to familysearch dot org on the internet the face of that website is being changed though i confess i still go back to the old face to perform my searches so i found a lot of new information and pushed back one of my maternal ancestral lines about three generations i say about because i have not had a chance to analyze the new data i have been sitting in front of the microfilm readers from dawn until way past dusk and feeding nickles into the photocopy machine but briefly follow the bottom line of my mother s branch in the pedigree above note that my great great grandparents were ludwig gutgsell and margarethe kessler i obtained their birth dates and places from the death entry of their daughter marie nee gutgsell her death entry was recorded in the parish record of a catholic church in burglen canton thurgau switzerland but that s another story this week i found the marriage entry performed on 17 nov 1847 of marie s parents on a microfilm of the civil marriage registrations for the commune village of kaysersburg arrondisement county of colmar department of haut rhin in alsace which was in french territory at the time the germans occupied alsace from about 1871 until the end of ww i and then it was returned to france so marie s parents were married by their french names louis and marguerite i just love the details of genealogical research the information didn t stop there there were many genealogical details in the full page marriage entry in this civil record more research in the microfilm section revealed the marriage entry for the parents of louis gutgsell louis father andre gutgsell married madelaine scherrer on 28 jan 1824 in kaysersburg i also found some of andre s siblings then i discovered that andre s parents leo gutgsell and marie ann madar were married in kayserberg finally the parents of leo were joseph gutgsell and elizabeth wachen if i recall correctly andre gutgsell s marriage entry included the names of his parents and grandparents incidentally while perusing the microfilms of data from this region of alsace i noted another prominent surname g sell at first i thought it was an abbreviation for my ancestral surname gutgsell but after looking at several family relationships in the records i do not believe g sell is equivalent to gutgsell furthermore gutgsell seemed to be spelled variously as guthgsell guttgsell and guthegsell to further confound the issue many times the names of individuals were not captalized so how many generations did i uncover i believe i am back to my 5x great grandparents on the gutgsell line not a bad effort
