WRIGHT (3 Generations) Connecticut

The WRIGHT line was the first I worked on, because my mother and great-grandmother used ASHER WRIGHT as their DAR patriot. Therefore, I had a great start, and lots of information at hand. I have very little information about the other names in the tree, and hope somebody will find this information useful, or offer to share their own data. My direct lines are in green.  If you have any of these names and wish to share information, please contact me.

Positive vs. Negative and the Drouin Collection

Two different sources, two different images. Which version do you like, the negative or the positive?  The first record was located 12 years ago at a library in Boston. The microfilm reel was labeled "Quebec National Archives Microfilm #124.4" This means the records were in the 124 series, and this was part 4, I think there are 14 parts.

The second example is from the "Quebec Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621-1967" available through Ancestry.com.  When these became available several years ago, researchers were thrilled because that meant no more ordering LDS records or manually going image by image as I did.

The two records below are exactly the same, one positive and the other negative. Recently while at the New England Historic and Genealogical Library (NEHGS) I had to ask an employee the difference between the two. All I knew was, I could change the option from a button on the machine. She said the first one is a negative image (white with black background), originally done as a positive. If you wish more information about the meaning between, please see below.

The second image is from Ancestry.com and that is how most records appear, as a positive. Sometimes it is easier to read it with a black background, you have to decide, if you have the option.

Now, while on this subject, I have gone round in circles with several people in the past, telling them I already had the records and they were not called the Drouin Collection. The images below are the exact same but called different things. I have always sourced my Canadian records as "Archives National de Quebec Parish Register," then the series and roll number, there is no mention of Drouin on the boxes or on the film.

Ancestry states: "Quebec Notarial Records (Drouin Collection), 1647-1942

Until the late 1900s, church registers in Quebec served as civil and vital records in that province. Throughout the years a second copy of church records, from all denominations, was sent annually to the appropriate courthouse. During the 1940s the vital record collections in courthouses throughout Quebec were filmed by the Institut Généalogique Drouin.* The filming of vital records continued for some areas up through the 1960s. Consequently, this filmed set of records became known as the Drouin Collection. The majority of the records in this database cover the time period 1621-1947, as most of the filming was done in the 1940s. The records that were filmed up through the 1960s are also included in this database, although they are very few in number. These records that were filmed later cover the years 1948-1967. Names from all years have now been indexed and can be searched on using the search box above."

A positive image is a normal image (black image on white background). A negative image is a total inversion of a positive image, in which light areas appear dark and vice versa.

Ellis Island Dress and American Jewish Historical Society

1905 Handmade Dress

The New England Historic and Genealogical Society (NEHGS) now houses the American Jewish Historical Society. Several months ago, I noticed seeing new signs, new people, and this beautiful dress in a display cabinet. The 5th floor is my favorite location and where I park my folders and body. Within feet, is this lovely dress. There is no proof that the dress was worn at Ellis Island, but I like to believe it was.

After a few visits, I got up enough courage to speak with the person in charge. We chatted, and I mentioned the dress and how I would like to take a photo, then I mentioned my blog. I told her I would like to write a little article about her Society, and to include the dress. She seemed glad about that, but I think she was expecting this post two weeks ago, however, I had to go back to the library yesterday, to get a better picture.

It is rather hard to write something of which I know little about, so from their information comes this, "The New England Collections of the American Historical Society holds the records and papers of Jewish organizations and individuals from the greater Boston metropolitan area and New England.

Permission was granted to take photo of dress, without flash. The dress is enclosed in Plexiglass, and all the ceiling lights were on. There was no way around the reflection.

Obituary -- George Anderson (Died January 10, 1879) Wisconsin

"Maj. George Anderson died at Madison, Jan 10th in the ninety-fifth year of his age. He was born on the banks of the Raritan, New Jersey, March 8th 1784; and after residing successively on Staten Island, in Pennsylvania and Illinois, he settled in Dane County in 1839 and spent most of his life as a farmer. While residing in Madison,  he served two years on the Board of Aldermen, and several years as Supervisor in the County Board, serving in the latter capacity at the time of his death. He survived his third wife two weeks. He was a gentleman of the old school, enjoying good health and a bright intellect almost to the last."  George Anderson was my 3rd great-grandfather.

From: Collections of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. 1882 Vol. 9: 429.  Wisconsin Necrology, 1879.  See Below.

It took 15 years to locate substantial information about George Anderson, and my first clue came from the book above. The above isn't an obituary but a death notice. I was alone in the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, with lots of people, but nobody to share the news with. Now two years later, I can say, it was simply thrilling, and I still get a natural high when I think about that day.
