What Luck Today, Thanks to a Follower

As I was about to look at recent posts of others, and hopefully make comments, my eyes glanced to my Followers list, and saw that it increased today.  I have been very lax in looking at everybody's site, and to tell the truth, I am not sure if I follow everybody who follows me, something I hope to change.

My new follower has a great list of her ancestors, so I went directly to her Dutch names. And I almost passed out, when I was done looking at all her names. Betty Tartas of Betty's Boneyard Genealogy Blog and I share 13 ancestors!  What a nice thing to find on a Saturday afternoon, while waiting for the Easter cake to bake. Betty, if you read this, it is very nice being a multiple cousin of yours.

Our shared names are:

CORNELIS HENDRICKSE VAN NESS
SYMON JANSEN VAN ARSDALEN
HANS HANSEN BERGEN
JORIS JANSEN de RAPALIE
JAN GERRITSE STRYKER
THOMAS KILBORN / KILBOURNE
WILLIAM BELDING
MATTHEW MARVIN
WILLIAM CROSS
JOHN DAGGETT
GOVERNOR THOMAS MAYHEW
GOVERNOR SIMON BRADSTREET
GOVERNOR THOMAS DUDLEY

Looking Back

Brenda of Journey to the Past wrote about her five favorite libraries, and it was the last one that caught my eye.  A quick email to her explaining the mysterious death of one of my ancestors I wrote about Suicide or Murder.  John Newmark of  Transylvanian Dutch had previously located a newspaper article from St. Louis, MO for me.  Brenda was kind enough to locate three additional newspaper articles from Battle Creek, Michigan. Thank you both.

Jenna of Desperately Seeking Surnames selected my blog to be one of five that she chose to follow for the Five Weeks to Better Genealogy #9.  She had to read my blog every day for five days!

One Saturday I wrote five Yale University students (emails obtained from the school) to see if any of them were interested in taking a photo of a bronze bust of my ancestor.  Only one responded, and Carol informed me that the fee was $12 per hour, the fee set by the University.  Well, since I knew where it was, I gave her directions, although it was pretty easy since it is located on the first floor of Sterling Library.  She went on Monday morning, and within hours, I had five photos. At least I know what it looks like and am really glad I didn't make the long trip just to take it. UPDATE: Nice  article about the Sterling Library (02/06/18.) https://news.yale.edu/2018/02/06/history-comes-alive-renovated-manuscripts-and-archives-department

A genealogy friend, Wes, and I corresponded quite a bit in the fall before I began my blog.  Recently he found me via the blog, which I thought was pretty nice.  He informed me that one of our ancestors, John Holmes has a DAR Chapter named after him and it is located in Minnesota.  John Holmes was my 6th great-grandfather.

Hummer of Branching Out Through the Years, informed me that we share the same ancestors: James Fitch and Priscilla Mason. And, Wendy of New England Genealogy shares the direct oldest line to my Jonathan Poole.

At long last, my header photo is done correctly.  Since the very beginning, I haven't been able to insert the photo correctly.  Thanks to Apple of  Apple's Tree, she resized it for me, and this isn't the first time she has helped me.

Greta of Greta's Genealogy Bog mentioned in her Follow Friday for March 26th, my piece in “Sentimental Sunday – My First Job.” Thank you, Greta. Follow-up, if you go to Greta's blog, she also wrote about her first job.

Surname Saturday -- FITCH (two generations)

I chose the Fitch name (with Connecticut roots) today because I know another blogger shares the same surname, and I hope others do to. Two generations of my Fitch family are shown below, and those in green are my direct lines. I have this surname for five generations.

Two of my Fitch descendants are buried at Old Cemetery, Lebanon, New London, Connecticut.  James and Nathaniel tombstones may be seen on Find-A-Grave.

Looking Back

Valentine's Day came and went, as did the figure skating at the Olympics, and soon life will be back to normal.  Genealogy research, blogging, and trying hard to have a more rounded life are in store. A few things I wanted to share are below.  And I will begin with a quick tour of the Missisquoi Museum and Historical Society in Stanbridge East, Quebec, Canada. I have mentioned this Historical Society in my My Favorite Historical Society is on a Stamp blog.  P.S. It is also on a post card, which I will show another time.

It was a big step for me to add something to the side on my blog.  When I asked Lindalee of Flipside if I could copy her image of the Dove of Peace, she said yes.  (Picture is at the left.)  But it was a week or more before I gathered the nerve to make a change to my home page.

While looking at blogs at a leisurely pace, I was quite surprised to see a post of mine in the Friday, December 18, 2009 issue of Shades of the Departed.  A very belated "Thank you" goes to Footnote Maven and the individual who submitted my article. My article was The Best Christmas Gift -- DAR and genealogy related, of course. Thank you again.  It always pays to read everything, even if you don't submit anything.

The day I posted my Tuesday Tombstone posting for two generations of Van Woerts buried in Oneonta, New York, I received a nice comment and email from a Van Woert cousin. Always very nice to make a connection like that.

Last month, I mentioned I was going to work on my photos, which meant scanning and copying to Find-A-Grave.  I started off with a bang, and then the Olympics came on. However, I managed to do over 100 scans and will try to finish up in March.

Once again, Randy Seaver and I are cousins, this time through our Gates line.  Update, found out yesterday, that we also shared the Sawtell line. And, Kathleen Brandt of a3genealogy was kind to do a Follow Friday, highlighting my above Gates article. Thank you Kathleen.

In closing, I have decided not to continue with my Looking Forward blog, mainly because I haven't given March any thought!

William Pabodie and Elisabeth Alden

William Pabodie

Born:  1616 England

Died:  December 13, 1707 at Little Compton, Newport Co., Rhode Island

His wife was Elisabeth Alden, daughter of John Alden and Priscilla Mullens.  Her gravestone photos were among the first I posted. William's tombstone is next to Elisabeth's (the large monument).

They were my 9th great-grandparents.

They are both buried at the Old Commons Cemetery, Little Compton, Newport Co., Rhode Island

Surname Saturday - VAN WOERT - Keeping Track - Part 2

Yesterday, in Keeping Track - Part 1, I explained one method used to keep track of my surnames and where they were living during their births, marriages and deaths.  My second method is just a listing of the surnames, as explained and shown below.

This is a way to keep everybody in your direct lines straight, meaning in the correct direct line surname sequence. My list is in alphabetical order with the oldest family line being first.  For example, I have six people by the name of Daniels, my six Stephen Daniels to be exact. How am I going to remember who was married to whom, and the dates.  It was while working on his line that I decided to devise this list.  At that time, I didn't have a laptop to bring to the library, so it was either rely on my memory, print out scads of family group sheets, or bring a one page printout of a Word document.  To print out my entire listing runs 52 pages (done in 2003), so I would simply cut and page, and carry just a few pages.

I thought it appropriate to use the example of my Van Woert line for Surname Saturday, since I just connected with a new cousin this week.  He found me, the day I posted cemetery pictures for our family on Tuesday Tombstone!  Both our lines left Oneonta, New York and settled in Battle Creek, Michigan.

This method is great for when you are looking at books with genealogies (family histories). If you were in the section that that began with "V"  in a library and found a book on Van Woert, check out the index to see if you have any of the names below. (At the bottom, is the copy I gave the students.)

VAN WOERT (all have the surname of Van Woert)
Teunis Jacobsesn (Abt. 1634--) married April 19, 1650 Sara Denys (Abt. 1629--)
Jacob Teunisse (1651-July 18, 1730) married Annatje Lookerman (--July 31, 1742)
Jacob (Bapt. Oct. 30, 1698-1765) married Oct. 17, 1723 Hendrikje Ooothout (Bapt. April 9, 1699-April 21, 1764)
Jacob (Bapt. Jan. 8, 1723/24--) married Elizabeth Fort (Bapt. April 23, 1727-May 30, 1756)
Jacob (July 7, 1754-June 27, 1843) married March 30, 1777 Sarah Van Ness (Bapt. March 15,  1754-April 22, 1832)
John (Dec. 21, 1781-Jan. 5, 1870) married Lany / Magdalane Young (May 31, 1784-March 31, 1849) Also married Nancy Hess Scrambling (1781-April 1873)
Sarah (Aug. 17, 1813-Feb. 18, 1863) married Jacob Scrambling (1810 – April 9, 1886)

Surname Saturday - GATES

When Bill West of West in New England wrote, The Case of Mary Gates of Lancaster, Worcester Co., Massachusetts, I immediately went to my Gates genealogy. I don't know if my Mary and the one by Bill are one and the same, but I suspect they are. My Mary was born between 1628 - 1658 (when she married) in Sudbury, Bill wrote in his blog that "Mary Gates of Sudbury lat of Lancaster." Another clue comes from my source used, what I wrote was, "NEHG Register. Vol. 120 (July 1966). Pp. 161-170 and (Oct. 1966), Pp. 260-272. "Stephen Gates of Hingham, Lancaster, and Cambridge, MA" by Clarence Almon Torrey." In conclusion, both Mary's above, had a father named Steven Gates.

It doesn't end there. With a few free minutes, I went through some loose Gates papers, and came across an article from The Register published by The New England Historic and Genealogical Society. From Vol. 163: 134 of April 2009 titled, "Ann Neave, wife of Stephen Gates, 1638 Immigrant to Massachusetts" by Edward J. Harrison. Darn, I had Stephen's wife as Ann VERVE, Not NEAVE. Seemed like a good time to read the article and maybe make corrections or additions into my file.

There are quite a few reference books stating the wife of Stephen Gates was Ann VEARE, done by various researchers, who transcribed the parish registers of Hingham, Norfolk, England. Apparently, "the registers have only one record for the surname VEARE, namely, the 1628 Gates marriage, but they contain twenty entries for the surname NEAVE. The National Burial Index for Hingham has no burial entries for the surname VEARE at any time, but it includes sixteen burials for NEAVE (or NEEVE) from1600 to 1700."  Hum, apparently one researcher interpreted the last name of Ann as VEARE, and as the article states, "VEARE and NEAVE differ only in their first and fourth letters."

Changing Ann's last name was simple. However there is a point to be made. It is a wise thing to continue reading periodicals, books and any genealogy articles pertaining to the surnames you have. There are so many researchers and, just because somebody says it is so, it may not be.  My initial entries for the GATES line were done about seven years ago, the new information was dated 2009.

To illustrate how wrong information passes from person to person.  I did a Google search using the names Gates and "Ann Neave" there were 157 hits, and this is the correct name.  There were 1,210 hits for the incorrect name!  One genealogist I want to follow is Robert Roy who does the The Roy Family, his tree is beautifully documented. In closing, Bill are we related through Stephen Gates and Ann Neave?
