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.

Bits of News

In USA Today, the daily newspaper, carries the Prime-time Nielsen ratings for television shows on Wednesday for the previous week. The show "Who Do You Think You Are" had 6.2 million viewers and ranked at #46. The show dropped a million viewers from the previous week.

Madonna and Ellen DeGeneres are 11th cousins, so says USA Today and Ancestry. Common ancestor, Martin Aucoin. Update, I saw The Ellen Show this morning and she mentioned other well-known people she is related to. And tried to pronounce the New England Historical and Genealogical Society, also stated they had already done her genealogy.

Tombstone Tuesday - WOODRUFF of Connecticut

In this Southington, Hartford Co., Connecticut cemetery, I have several families buried here.  Today, I will post photos of my Woodruff family.

Fortunately, I had some help in locating the below stones, as it is a large cemetery.  Through my initial use of the Hale Collection, see copy below, I was able to determine two of my Woodruffs were buried in Section 6, and the broken Woodruff stone, I am assuming he/she/they are those of the original settlers (shown in second photo).

Samuel Woodruff and Rebeckah Clark Woodruff were my 7th great-grandparents.

Samuel was born: on August 26, 1661, in Farmington, Hartford Co., Connecticut

He died: January 08, 1742, Southington, Hartford Co., Connecticut

Samuel and his wife, Rebeckah had a son Daniel, his stone is below.

Daniel was my 6th great-grandfather.

Daniel was born: on November 02, 1696, in Farmington, Hartford Co., Connecticut

He died: on April 12, 1785, in Southington, Hartford Co., Connecticut

Daniel's wife was Lydia Smith, and I couldn't locate her stone, although she is listed in the Hale Collection (see below).

Madness Monday -- Asking For Help #3

How much space and how much time? Only two questions. Recently, I have been wondering how much can we write per blog, in other words, how much space can we use? Some of my pieces are rather long and while they may not interest most people, I am always hoping somebody will find one of my surnames through Google. I think we all want that, why else are we posting so many surnames. This is my first question. 

My second question has to do with posting something accidentally, because it wasn't for the right date or time. I have been trying to train myself to use the Post Options link first, but every once in a while, I forget, as I did on Sunday. Within minutes I noticed an unedited post was up and I quickly went to edit and changed the date. I thought all was well, until I saw it in the reader. Of course I was embarrassed, and I wanted it and my feelings to fade away. Once somebody hits Publish Post, is there a time frame that I can retrieve it or does it go to the web immediately? Thanks for any help.

Surname Saturday -- ADAMS (CT / MA > NY > MI)

This ADAMS line is the first of my "brick walls" I am sharing. ADAMS is a very common surname, and with the first name being John, locating him in records is made more challenging because he served in the Revolutionary War in Lexington, so you can imagine my problem. I am not asking for help, but of course will be glad to accept suggestions. Family lore claimed we were related to the President, and my father was named John Adams Poole. I've not found any evidence of a connection.

NOTE: I have since discovered that I am related to President John Adams, and it's through John Alden of the Mayflower. Post was written on March 8, 2015. It may be seen HERE.
