Her husband had access to her passwords, but he was so distraught, he just put everything in storage, then in 6 months, he had remarried. No one knows where the information has gone to. </p><p>Aine's blogs were mostly family and family history oriented. I wanted to copy into a PDF form and save in a book form for the 8 children and for her to be born grandchildren. One of the blogs is visible, naming the 3 blogs that she had made private because it was a time we were being warned not to publicize our children, as there were many children being kidnaped, among other things. <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/21/health/posting-about-kids-on-social-media/index.html">The dos and don'ts of posting about Children online https://www.cnn.com/2016/10/21/health/posting-about-kids-on-social-media/index.html</a></p><p>The consequences were loss of memories, pictures, and a little bit of her. So, what I would like to have as a take away, Leave your password access to someone that has an investment in saving your content and will share with your family. I have been copying my own blogs, saving in a pdf format and keeping on external hard drives. </p><p>Sometimes life is hard....

Our own traditions include attending church as we were raised Protestant and believe that Easter represents the death and the rising of Jesus Christ, Son of God, to save us all from our sins and to give us eternal life. It is basically, the basis of our Faith, and, is such an important time in the life of Christians. We celebrate Easter with a long season of Lent. However, the highlights of Holy Week include Maundy Thursday Communion in church on the Thursday before Easter Sunday. This communion celebrates the Lord’s last supper with his disciples. On Good Friday, we gather at the church to mourn the death of Christ upon the cross. Our own church holds a “Tenebrae service of Shadows”. One of our daughters will sing special music with the choir, “One Sacrifice”. The service itself begins with 14 lighted candles in the sanctuary, and as Christ walks his final passion, each candle is extinguished to signify his abandonment. Easter Sunday, we gather to celebrate the joy of Christ’s resurrection and His salvation for each of us individually throughout the whole world. This is an astounding day for many of us faith wise! <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></div>

Part of the joy of Easter at our house is gathering with family and friends for dinner. Many in the United States serve ham for this dinner with other spring vegetables especially like asparagus and carrots for the Easter bunny. Surely you see turkey and beef as well. My own sister, however, serves a Crown Roast of Lamb every Easter without fail! Bunny rabbit salads made of half pears are a treat for our family. <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></div>

Of course, we give the children Easter baskets full of trinkets, chocolate, and other candy. We hard boil and decorate Easter eggs as well. In our own family, we often hide the baskets and the children have to follow clues to find them! <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></div>

What about our Hogue ancestors from Scotland? I understand that they especially were sheepherders and that their and most Scottish Easter dinners include roasted lamb! As with us in America, chocolate is the taste of the day! Dessert might be chocolate cake and coffee! Chocolate eggs and bunnies are ever present for both! Easter egg hunts, horse displays, and battle reenactments make for fun and festive occasions. Of course, churches throughout Scotland hold special Easter services like ours, to celebrate Christ’s rising from death and giving us the grace of salvation. We had many ministers, mainly Presbyterian, in our Hogue family. In fact, we are told that our first immigrant from Scotland was a Covenanter. A covenanter was one of the many Scottish people who fought against the Catholics for the right to have their own personal covenant with God. In fact, his persecution by the Catholics apparently led to his flight to America. <span style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> </span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">New Year New Prompts</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This post is a couple of days late but seeing as I have missed a couple of months I thought I would use this opportunity to return to this blog and highlight to anyone who may have missed it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Julie Goucher who started this blog with a group of genealogy friends has started a new round of prompts for her <a href="https://anglersrestblog.wordpress.com/book-of-me/">Book of Me series.</a> Some of them are new and as there are a number of new recruits many of the earlier prompts are also included and can be found on this page.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In 2013 I started these but did not get very far. Fortunately, I archived what I did and can go back and revisit them <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V2YTckmgdkbgIb15wYcwoDR5q2Fx2Nx8ZvRwJuclopc/edit?usp=sharing">here</a> is the first one.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">So looking at what I wrote last time would I change anything.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I would say I do not read or bake as much as I would like. Attempts to lose weight did work, but I need to reassess, as I have started to put some back on. I want to lose more and maintain the loss.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Getting organised is the big thing and the older I get the more difficult it is to change the way I do, or rather don't do, things.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bullet journalling worked, up to a point, but I am not one for writing everything down. I just want reminders for the important things, using calendar reminders works for most tasks, particularly where there is a deadline set.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
The diversity of ancestors' and relatives' occupations is quite fascinating. To think that we have become who we are today as a result of the many lives and occupations before us is mind boggling. This is what prompted me to do an alphabetical list of my known ancestor occupations. I have included occupations of siblings of my ancestors and added other relevant information, such as surnames, timelines and illustrations where I felt it significant. Simply the name of an occupation on its own is interesting enough if you do this geneameme. I have not included the job of every ancestor and I expect that this project will be an ongoing one. I'm certain that listing the occupations my ancestors will give me much food for thought for future blog posts however. I have found it fascinating to list the wide range of jobs my forebears participated!<br />
<br />
Now, unless you have a Xylophone player or an undertaker in your family you may not be able to fill in the entire alphabet, but you can always come back to it when you do find that elusive occupation for U, X or Z! (German ancestors do help with the "Z" occupations). I hope you enjoy sharing the occupations of your own ancestors as much as I did. </div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Over
the centuries, many evil leaders have ignored the humanity of other people,
sometimes their very own citizens. This
has been a fact of history --can we make history stop repeating itself? Can we become more civilized, kind and
inclusive? Have we made progress or
not? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I
would not even attempt to chronicle all the events that spring into my mind
when I contemplate these atrocities! From
ancient times, people have conquered and destroyed each other. In the Middle East and in China, warriors
were brutal to other cultures. Rome devastated their share of people and
cultures also. None of our ancestors were probably spared in any 3<sup>rd</sup>
or 4<sup>th</sup> generation being scarred by conquering, war, slavery, or
ethnic cleansing. The British/Americans in their conquering of Native Americans, and
selling people into slavery. Hitler and his unfathomable execution of and cruelty
to Jews in the Holocaust---the horror goes on</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">and on it seems. Even
now we have ethnic cleansing of their Rohingya minority going on in Myanmar, and
Isis encouraging the killing of Christians, Jews, and Muslims all over the
world. Do you think you could document your ancestors who are living in refugee camps all over the world as they flee violence? </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">So, what happens to our ability to do
genealogical research when people die or are enslaved for years? We have a great and terrible example for us
when we look at the difficulty of conducting African American genealogical
research. It was only a few years ago that I really got
involved in doing genealogical research of different cultures. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;">Part of that was due to my having done my DNA
and finding more ties to other cultures than previously perceived by this southern
American white Christian woman had dreamed of having.</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;">I not only learned that I was the descendant
of a melting pot of world citizens, thank you very much, but that I had blood
relatives, ancestors who were Jews-- and their Nazi persecutors!! Horrors! </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;">I also met and became friends with some of my
African American cousins –themselves the descendants of my white great, great, great, great, great, great…grandparents
who owned their own enslaved grandparents! </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;"> More h</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;">orrors! In my own genealogical research—were
colonial American settlers who fought and killed Native American
Indians—because they wanted their land, I am sorry to say,—and there
were the shameful slave owners, and breeders!</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;">In our genealogical research we glorify our ancestors who fought in
wars—the Revolutionary War, the American Civil War, WW I and II, Vietnam!</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;">Really? I did as well…but I am rethinking my
values—at the same time, we have to take a stand and stop evil leaders from
ruining us! I am proud of those who fight for the right reasons—but who decides
what is right—what is good or evil?</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Now that I realize how hard it is to do African American genealogical research, because
of their oppression! Only a few slave names were ever recorded—their first
names might have been listed on property tax forms or in wills where they were
willed “in perpetuity along with their descendants”! Only in the 1870 census in America—260 + years
after the first colony at Jamestown was founded, were most African Americans
named fully and counted as free people in our country! Ten to twelve generations of ancestors –lost,
unaccounted for—due to their oppression!
Unfathomable cruelty! Even in 1870, women –black and white could not
vote, had no voice in their governance. Disenfranchisement, erasure, violence, killing
and maiming—prejudice—wow, isn’t it amazing that we can trace anyone in our
past?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">Maybe those of us who are
into DNA and genealogical research –and there are millions of us worldwide
now—thanks to Ancestry, FTDNA, 23 and Me, Gedmatch, My Heritage, WikiTree,
Family Search, Genealogy Bank, and so many more—maybe if the millions of us
stood up to be counted—stood up and said “Enough! Enough Killing! Stop the </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;">Hate! We want peace on earth. We want our
children and grandchildren –and our 7</span><sup style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;">th</sup><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;"> great grandchildren to know
who we are and to have a world to live and create in.” –maybe we could change
the current war cries. </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;">We know the
leaders of the world think of us as faceless – but we know we are important in
the chain of ancestors and cultures, of people!</span><span style="font-family: "Arial Black", sans-serif;"> </span></span></div>

While I am working at the Family History Center, I frequently have people come in and ask what we do. The basic answer is to assist people in finding their ancestors. A frequent reply to that is "my Grandmother has already done our tree". "Wellll", I say, "have you written your stories? Who can tell them like you do? Who knows them and will care to tell them if you don't."<br />
From my own experience, my Hero wrote his "Personal History", but it was a factual history, <span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;">i.e. </span>I was born... He did not include any of his "stories" of what made him the person he was. His good fortune was I was a good listener and in my grief, I wrote the stories that made him come alive again to his children and will help his grandchildren to know him.<br />
What help me to write his stories was I found a group called GeneaBloggers on the Web and their memes gave me the platform to write those stories. GeneaBloggers has transitioned into <a href="http://geneabloggerstribe.com/blog/">GeneaBloggers Tribe</a>, but still has the prompts for those that have a hard time zeroing in on a topic or thought.<br />
Another point is, if you procrastinate, you might lose the capacity to remember and or write those personal memories. Just saying...<br />
I, personally, am going to pick up with my stories now and if it triggers one of the Hero's then I will write that too. Please, if you have only been concentrating on other's stories or professional instruction, teaching, et cetera, pause occasionally and begin writing your own stories. This is a plea on your behalf and those that come later.<br />
PS Did you ever think that your story that includes others, rarely is a story about only one person, could help another learn about their family member too.<br />
'Til next month... keep writing.<br />

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">What happens

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Recently I
have begun working with a long term genealogist and local historian in my
community to begin archiving his years of work and accumulation of both
pictures and records. The first thing he
brought out to identify, digitalize, and catalog, was his wife’s old pictures
that had been carefully put in the old Sticky Album Pages. He knew that the
sticky paper could cause problems with the pictures, but had procrastinated
removing them to a safer medium. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">The Return Trip</span></h2>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have previously written about my trip to <a href="https://worldwidegenealogy.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/salt-lake-city-rootstech-2015-fgs.html" target="_blank">Rootstech/FGS 2015</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In February 2018 I shall be making another trip to Salt Lake City for the Rootstech conference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have taken time out since Rootstech started to watch the live streaming each year. However, after attending in 2015, I really miss the buzz of spending almost a week with other genealogists.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is not just the conference with all the variety of learning sessions available. But the opportunity to meet up with online friends and make new ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have registered to get the Early Bird Price and reserved my hotel room. I am in the process of arranging my flights and then there is travel insurance and ESTA to organise. So although it is almost five months away I have plenty to do in the meantime. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should arrive on Sunday evening and hope to get almost 2 days to research in the Family History Library. Getting there early means I can take advantage of the Tuesday check-in and not miss any of the four days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a great theme, for only today I made a connection, to a fellow WikiTree genealogist. With all the divisions in the world, being able to connect and belong to one great community with a common goal, is the best feeling in the world.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">No this post is not about exercise (not in the true sense of the word anyway). I might say it was about a different type of exercise, one that requires the use of the brain, writing blog posts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This year has seen a dearth of posts on this blog. One can speculate as regards the reasons why this has happened. Basically though it is down to the simple fact that other things in life often have to take priority. For most of us genealogy is a hobby which we do in our "spare" time and the amount of time we can devote to pursuit of our family will depend on the circumstances of each individual and their passion for what they do. Professionals may have even less time to devote to activities which do not bring a financial reward (though many do participate as a way of getting themselves known to those who may require their services). That being said for many years the number of blogs about genealogy have been growing. Some months ago I read a <a href="http://genealogy.julietarr.com/blog/what-happened-to-genealogy-blogging/" target="_blank">post</a> by Julie Cahill Tarr on this topic James Tanner wrote about this on his <a href="http://genealogysstar.blogspot.co.uk/2017/04/are-we-nearing-end-of-genealogy-blogging.html" target="_blank">Genealogy Star blog</a> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">and</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Amy Johnson Crow then did a nice follow on <a href="http://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/is-genealogy-blogging-dead/" target="_blank">post</a></span> . <span style="font-size: x-large;">If you have not seen these take a look and check out the comments below each post.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">So lack of posts is not specific to this blog. However this blog differs from most of the others in that it has posts from genealogists across the globe.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">As genealogists know with the growth of the internet it is becoming easier to do research for some records without having to travel but this can mean we are less familiar with the records or they need translating. Being able to approach others more familiar with those records or seeing them discussing that type of record can be extremely useful. This blog has the potential to be the place to come for collaboration from both a reader and writer perspective.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">How can we get bloggers to contribute more?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Does this blog need support from <a href="http://geneabloggerstribe.com/" target="_blank">Geneabloggers Tribe</a> (Many of the contributors past and present are members of Geneabloggers Tribe and several are part of the admin team)?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I don't know the answer and ultimately it has got to be something that Julie Goucher who had both the idea and organised the set up of this blog is happy with since it is still her blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Please leave any constructive comments you might have as this blog is all about collaboration. I am sure that the other 4 bloggers that have posted this year will agree that we would love for more bloggers to be contributing.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today’s
technology and DNA testing provide all kinds of exciting opportunities in
genealogical research. Many of us, and I
am surely one, believe that each individual has the right to know exactly who she/he
is and to know her or his ancestors. As my own genealogical research
progressed, it helped strengthen my identity-- as I learned about the ancestors
whose DNA coursed through my own veins as well as theirs, hundreds of years
ago. Lately, I’ve learned that nowhere
is this “need to know” stronger than for adoptees. Many, probably most adoptees

is a force of nature, who makes things happen. He found two other cousins,
Stella and Zoe, both of whom were also adopted, and who are also related to
him, and to Courtney and to me by DNA! That is truly incredible! In my experience, finding five people, unknown
to each other, from all over the world, all of whom are related by DNA to each
other--well, I would wager that it would be a zero probability that we would
find each other! However, the miracle
continues, even more amazing to me is that Stella had met another DNA- matched cousin named Eva and she was related by DNA to the
rest of us as well! That made six of us,
three from across the United States, and three from Central Europe -- the
Netherlands, Germany, France, and Switzerland. We are three adoptees and three who know their
parents, all 4<sup>th</sup>, 5<sup>th</sup>, or 6<sup>th</sup> cousins! <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "Arial Black","sans-serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Bradley
then organized us into a group on Facebook, so that we could communicate more easily.
He invited one other DNA match of his to
join the group hoping she might also match some of us. Laura did indeed match
another one of us, another cherished cousin.
I asked my daughter Ali to join our group, as she speaks and reads
German and French fluently, and was also a cousin of course! Eight of us, what
a wonderful group of people, all dynamic and interesting to know! Typically, the Europeans all speak and read
English with different levels of experience, while we Americans only speak English,
except for my daughter Ali, whose linguistic abilities did not come from her
mother, but from other ancestors. <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

grandparents depending on our cousinship and as the ancestral lines fall in
place, birth parents are often-- usually identified. It is a fact of research. What happens next is a choice that adoptees

is one more phenomenal situation that we have discovered with our genealogical

Vreeland family, came to America in the mid 1600’s from the Netherlands to New
Amsterdam (New York) in Colonial America. They helped found New Jersey, buying
land from the Indians, and fighting in the Revolutionary War. Now, 350 years
later, eight of us are getting to know each other and one completes this circle
of migration. Zoe was born in America,
in New Jersey. After her adoption, as a
very young child of 2, she was taken to the Netherlands to be raised by her adoptive family. She brings OUR family full
circle--from the Netherlands to New Jersey and from New Jersey back to Europe! Isn’t that amazing! <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>

My first inclination over the last month was to write a pet peeve of mine...well others too, but my daughter asked for some copies of her wedding pictures, and so many memories came flooding in.<br />
Thus, you get to be treated to the story behind the pictures in her wedding photos.<br />
<br />
Not everyone would have wedding pictures such as these, but we did not use a professional photographer. It was her grandmother would loved, loved to take pictures. The decorations for the reception were done as a newly joined family effort. The groom's parents and the bride's parents met in the cultural hall of the church (LDS terms) and combined their thoughts and work to make it a beautiful reception. It meant stringing twine back and forth across the room at about 10 feet and hanging individually blown balloons from it to drop the ceiling. It turned out wonderful.<br />

That is just one story behind the pictures.<br />
<br />
I will start with her dress. She had sewed each pearl on to the lace, that I added to the dress I made for her according to her specifications. There wasn't a pattern for the dress...the mom created it. In fact I was sewing the covered buttons on the sleeves as we drove from Houston to Dallas the night before the Wedding. They were sealed at the Dallas Temple.<br />
Here is her dress.<br />

There was another dress story that still is brought to remind me I forget things. Her sister's dress I discovered when getting ready to go to the temple had not had all the covered buttons done in the back. I had to sew her into the dress ... yeah there was a lot of teasing around that. Yes, I also made all the bridesmaid dresses.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I am writing this post as a follow on from one that I put up on my own <a href="http://gadsbyfamilyancestors.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/getting-closer-to-truth-dealing-with.html" target="_blank">blog</a> earlier this month. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is also about my experience over the weekend whilst working on the Family Search Family Tree and I suspect I am not alone in having this experience.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had looked at a new record set on Find My Past and was relating it back to an ancestor on the </span><span style="font-size: large;">Family Search Family Tree which led to further research on this individual and his family.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Richard Carrot the son was attached to his parents but his siblings have been added today. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are others using the name Richard Carrot in this area so at the moment much of the family is speculative with sources attached but not proven relationships. I have accessed the parish registers to confirm christenings, marriages and burials. However Richard and Elizabeth are common first names and useful census records are rare before 1841. How do I know I have the right family?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So here is a map of the area courtesy of Google maps.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Richard Carrot and Elizabeth Hall married in Pickworth in 1777. Elizabeth was christened in Walcot 1778 and Richard in Folkingham 1783 but what about Matthew </span><span style="font-size: large;">in </span><span style="font-size: large;">Swaton 1785.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Another marriage can be found for a Richard and Elizabeth Aldridge in Horbling in 1761. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Horbling is closer to Swaton so could they be the parents of Matthew?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">First I need to look for likely children of Richard and Elizabeth nee Aldridge in Horbling or nearby. The only one I have found is for a Thomas in 1765. I have not found a burial for Elizabeth in Horbling but a Richard was buried in 1776. These records do not record ages and relationships the only distinguishing information recorded was that the occupation of Richard prior to his death was Tollbar keeper.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A search of newspapers at this time did not reveal any useful information as family announcements cannot yet be found in the local newspaper.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So I stick by my current conclusion in the absence of anything to refute this or providing more information.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Matthew was used as a first name by Richard the son for one of his son's. Matthew senior married Mary Dewey in Edenham but the couple do not appear to have had any children. I can find no christenings and by 1841, the first census showing relationships, they are too old to have any living with them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Looking at the parents, grandparents</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">and</span><span style="font-size: large;"> siblings of Mary's father on the Family Search Family Tree I discovered several different transcriptions of the surname. The dates and place are the same and a look at the digital images at Find My Past will confirm they refer to the same individuals.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvAt53xb_pt4ElWxXMgVB7Agn2YYWp7SJyUC4ahmjOjbK3n7lsNI_yZ38XeMCABd6Hi-If8dUVYMEMqt6L-FtPxdDPot3SdRyVS-BUzrPZiXQs4FTz27m119O03Kjhy9i_2x9m2ARMxYY/s1600/Capture+1.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="989" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvAt53xb_pt4ElWxXMgVB7Agn2YYWp7SJyUC4ahmjOjbK3n7lsNI_yZ38XeMCABd6Hi-If8dUVYMEMqt6L-FtPxdDPot3SdRyVS-BUzrPZiXQs4FTz27m119O03Kjhy9i_2x9m2ARMxYY/s640/Capture+1.PNG" width="394" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If we are to correctly identify individuals and attach all the relevant sources we need to be aware of these alternative transcriptions and identify them for what they are when reconstructing families.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Our ancestors did like to use the same first names from generation to generation and we must always consider that each record may refer to a different individual. When John died as a baby or young child it was often the case that the next boy would be called John. It can also be seen that the sons may both want to use the first name of their parent for their own children. In my own family I have found William Roberts used 3 times by the parents in the register of christenings but only one burial. Was the second child christened twice. The second christening was private which may have possibly been due to the child being sickly. There were only 2 births registered, consistent with the first two christenings, and only one death registration and burial.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYwymSEldscfaOM3QU3RkbmHewQ6fg4hNEu3OtpFNh8D63Bj9lPdiraUYggMort5mb1PYl2O-6hrou_wqpJnIhuGU3h4bMf0X90o-n9hrlfLv3O7-2CT8T0Pzs2V0i9q5Z0JObXMJTZ8s/s1600/Capture+2.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1355" data-original-width="1263" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYwymSEldscfaOM3QU3RkbmHewQ6fg4hNEu3OtpFNh8D63Bj9lPdiraUYggMort5mb1PYl2O-6hrou_wqpJnIhuGU3h4bMf0X90o-n9hrlfLv3O7-2CT8T0Pzs2V0i9q5Z0JObXMJTZ8s/s640/Capture+2.PNG" width="596" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have added explanations to the tree in the discussion and merge fields so that it is clear what I have concluded here. Even with birth and death certificates I would be unable to be certain that I have made the correct conclusion.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In conclusion whatever we use we need to make a considered analysis of the information available. Even when we have access to original records we may only make assumptions regarding those who have proceeded us. However showing the source of the information upon which we base our conclusion will add weight to a well thought out proof. </span></div>

<b>In honor of Mother's Day, May 2017, my daughter Annie gave me a world map, cork to post it on, and a large box of colorful push pins! What a lovely gift to give a Mom who is totally "into" genealogy! As we opened the gift, she explained that she thought we could post it on a wall and use the pins to mark some of my genealogical discoveries. I was touched by such a thoughtful gift. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>We had so much fun not only posting the map, but placing the push pins according to things we thought important. We have just started this project, and already realize that we need a larger map! How wonderful is that! </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>The first thing we did, was place red pins where our immediate family lives. That is mainly in three places, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, USA. Next. we looked at the family trees I had developed for both my side of the family, and for my husband's side. We also looked at the genetic ancestry, or ethnicity maps that Ancestry gave me based on my DNA testing. It was exciting to see the details of our family represented on a map, and like my own genealogical work, the map evolved as we thought it through. It is still a work in progress, and I would welcome your suggestions for other things to add. </b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>From working on both family trees, I knew before doing my DNA, that I personally was a melting pot American. On my mother's side I had inherited traits from Irish, English, French, and Italian ancestors mostly. Perhaps that is where the passionate, emotional side of my genetic makeup was nurtured. On my father's side, I have the more practical traits of the German and Scottish. (Stereotypes, I know!) My husband Max's ancestral make up is mainly English and German. On our map, I used orange push pins to symbolize our ancestral heritage. Notice how they are clustered in Western Europe-- well, that is 99% of my heritage according to my DNA results. Look how ancestry breaks it down on this map: </b><br />

<b>I keep thinking I need to make a list of all the cousins I have met through my research and on facebook where the many genealogical and family groups enhance our meeting DNA matches as well as ones found in encouraging each other's research. For awhile I kept telling people I had met 100 new cousins through my research, then 200, now I have no doubt that it is 500 or more new cousins who have come into my life with a similar interest--genealogy and family history! How exciting and life enriching is that! I used blue pins on the map to represent all the cousins I had met in the States and in Europe and Australia! Obviously, I did not have a big enough map, nor enough blue pins, to represent all the wonderful cousins I have met. </b><br />

<b>The yellow pins stand for the focus of my most recent genealogical research and DNA detective skills that improve with experience. One of the great joys of my life, has been the honor of joining an adoptee's search for their own ancestral and biological roots. I used the yellow pins to represent some of the adoptees whose journey's I have joined. Sharing these life experiences--life stories--has been intensely rewarding---and intensely painful. There have been the joys of reunions, the pain of rejection, death, lies, hiding, and even discovering horrors like the fact that your biological parent was a rapist or other criminal! We must look for biological roots with wide open eyes--bracing for the worst that can shake our identities, and allowing joy for good news, which can still shake our identities. We must work to center ourselves before embarking on such a search, which should ultimately enhance, deepen, and expand our sense of self--not shake it to the core! You are not your parents, not your DNA traits, you are who you choose to be. </b><br />

<b>All of the authors of this blog engage in genealogical research, most of you readers are interested as well. What a life enhancing experience doing genealogical work has been for me. With my severe heart disease, I was told years ago that my time on earth was limited--the joy of this work, the joy of being involved with the people the work represents, well, that has brought an immense quality to my life.

When I first started blogging, I was blogging just to record my Hero's stories about his early years that he had shared for many years, but had never written down. As time has gone on, I had most of his stories written down, his siblings have added a few, and I turned to other members of the family for stories.<br />
I have been blogging for 9 years now and have found I haven't stopped learning. The other day I was repeating something my son told me to a friend, and had to take a mental pause when I realized I had a story that bore writing down and sharing with future progeny.<br />
I will share, for it is a funny...<br />
My son was visiting with my 88 year old mother. She has dementia that is somewhat controlled by medication (meaning she still remembers things, but can't stay in the positive world long enough to act on what she remembers). The son likes to banter with her, so he asked her if she was going to live to be 90. She looked at him quite manner of fact and said "of course". He pushed it... "well will you live to be 100?" She looked at him incredulously and said "why would anyone want to do that?" The laughter the response brought brightened the whole visit and those who were nearby in the common room of the assisted living my mom lives at. He came home chuckling and sharing what she said. This is a great story for recording.<br />

When this understanding sunk in, I realized I am missing many things I should be recording other than my personal journal and the scouring for ancestor's stories. Okay, I hear you now... Duh, Fran you are the family historian. You should be recording even funnies. I know, I know, I need to keep my mind open to all possibilities. This has become so very important to me. I really don't want someone sitting and looking at my picture and saying I wish she could tell me about herself, like I have done over my grandmothers.<br />

You might wonder why I would spend a blog post on my own ponderings. I suppose I have a feeling of grandeur that maybe my thoughts just might reach out to at least one person and they too will begin to write down even the small daily actions and funnies that might give a feeling of closeness and fun to those that follow. Joy in the ordinary.</div>

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">I have divide this post into 4 types of trips undertaken by genealogists. There may be some overlap but I will discuss the subtle differences between them.</span></h3>
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Visits to Relatives </span></li>
</ul>
</h4>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">The first rule of genealogy is to talk to the older relatives whilst you can, as they often know things that cannot be found in the official documents.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>They also may have photographs that you have never seen or be able to identify people in any photographs you have inherited.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>My latest visit uncovered unseen photographs and letters in the collections of an aunt and uncle and discovered by my sister when clearing my parents house. So even when you think you may have exhausted the family collections it pays to revisit.</span><br />
<div>
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Visits to Archives</span></li>
</ul>
</h4>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">We will never be short of records in our local archive our main challenge here will be access to them. The popular collections like parish registers are gradually being digitized by the big companies but there are many more records being preserved that may never make it to the internet.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>During my latest visit to Hampshire I was fortunate to be able to view some Poor Law records. They did not answer my research question but do contain interesting information.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Catholic records have been difficult to access as, in the main, they have not been deposited with local archives. Find My Past have added some records to their collections but only a limited number. When I perused the shelves in the Hampshire Record Office whilst awaiting some documents I had ordered I came across 3 books of particular interest to me. These books contained transcriptions of Catholic registers for Southampton. These books had only been published in 2015. They have helped me with one of my research conflicts and helped to confirm an uncertain birthplace.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If you can possibly get to the archive, do visit, prepare well before you go, especially if you may not get back for another visit. Consider what to prioritise and make full use of catalogues and the staff knowledge so that you can maximise your research time. Check out what devices they allow for copying records as this can vary.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Genealogy Conferences</span></li>
</ul>
</h4>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">I will clarify what I would class as a conference as I wish to discuss different ways of imparting information.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>In the UK we may have a day conference sometimes called a seminar where the participants attend for a single day of classes. The recent Guild of One Name Studies conference I attended was over a weekend starting on the Friday afternoon and finishing late afternoon on the Sunday. At this weekend conference most attendees were staying over although a few were day attendees as they lived nearby. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Conferences are a way to educate oneself about particular topics which may be of interest but they are also a great way to network with individuals who share your interest. Face to face discussions outside of the formal classes can be as important as the classes themselves.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Tackling a new research challenge can be made easier by discussion with others who may have encountered a similar challenge.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>I would say that, personally, I wonder if some of the local family history societies would attract new members, if they could organise an annual conference, for their members, with topics of local and general interest. Those living further afield might be attracted to visit the area for such an event and if interest was poor it could be opened up to the public. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">A cheaper alternative would be a video conference.This was discussed today in this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Py-_-vzlqE&feature=youtu.be" target="_blank">Dear Myrtle Hangout</a>.if you want to see all the comments view it by logging on to <a href="http://hangouts.dearmyrtle.com/" target="_blank">this page</a> and go to the Hosting Virtual Meetings tutorials. </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Genealogy Shows</span></li>
</ul>
</h4>
<div>
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">In the UK <a href="http://www.whodoyouthinkyouarelive.com/" target="_blank">Who Do You Think You Are Live</a> is held in April. It is billed as the world’s largest family history show. This show started life as the Society of Genealogists event and was rebranded when the television programme hit our screens. Many long term genealogists will tell you it has changed format over the years. Some of the changes may be due to the venue which moved from London to Birmingham a few years ago. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">However the audience for these events has also changed. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>The main thing to distinguish a show from a conference is that, at least here in the UK, much of the venue is occupied by vendors and genealogy related societies. There is also a section of related stands to assist with understanding records that we use such as military or photo or artefact dating. There also appears to have been a move to include other charities within the hall (some attendees have queried why they are there).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Like the US Rootstech event there are also educational talks on offer both free (usually sponsored) and paid for (mostly in advance). However the events in the US tend to span several days and attendees will stay over the same as conferences in the UK whereas shows attract, in the main, day visitors.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Vendors offers will attract visitors to shows and/or conferences as will educational talks.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">However I get the impression that the family history societies are struggling to attract new members and the work that volunteers have put in to creating indexes over the years is now being superseded by the appearance of records in online datasets. Some are updating websites but many do not have the resources or expertise to do this. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">What can our local societies do to continue being relevant to both existing and new members? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Is attendance at a national event worthwhile?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I enjoy catching up with friends at these events but why do others attend and are the costs involved worth it?</span></div>
</div>
<div>

</tbody></table>
All over the world people are watching a giraffe named <a href="http://www.aprilthegiraffe.com/">April</a> as we wait for her to give birth to her 4th calf.<br />
It was supposed to be in March they said, don't tune out you will miss it they said....here it is the beginning of April and we (read that ME) are still watching!<br />
I have her next to me as I research, well, as I try to research.<br />
Then something catches my eye...oh, what's she doing now? Is that a contraction? Why is someone in her pen?<br />
Oh, look, they are feeding her carrots!<br />
Arg!!<br />
<br />
We all get distracted and go down rabbit holes or chase after that darn squirrel every once in a while!<br />
It happens when we get an email with a new DNA match or a message from a cousin who has information we need to take a brick out of a wall.<br />
It can be a Bright Shiney Object (BSO) in the form of a new DNA tool, an update to your genealogy computer program with new features to play with, or a new app to learn.<br />
Some days things just don't get done as we fall in those holes, chase those clues and are blinded by the sparkly.<br />
Our to-do lists don't get to-done.<br />
<br />
There are a few things that have helped me stay focused and on track.<br />
<br />
First, I set up a schedule for the day. What and when I am going to work on certain tasks. It is a flexible plan that can be tweaked as the day moves forward. The schedule may show two hours to work on a particular project, but sometimes, ideas flow, and there's a need to extend a little instead of stopping to work on something else.<br />
<br />
Second, I looked for tools that help me stay on track with my day and my projects. I use <a href="https://evernote.com/">Evernote</a>, <a href="https://trello.com/">Trello</a> and <a href="https://www.google.com/calendar">Google Calendar</a>.<br />
These hold my schedules, notes and to- do lists and checklists. They each can be used on my computer and on my tablet and smartphone to be consulted where ever I am.<br />
Trello boards are a great project management tool and help me to plan step by step in order to complete assignments and tasks.<br />
I review them before getting to work to help me know what to do with my allotted time.<br />
<br />
Have you ever decided to use a time management program or app, put all your info in it and then never open it?<br />
A system and a routine for when I check my tools and what action to take helps me to use them to get the full benefit and be productive throughout the day.<br />
In the morning my Google calendar events and Evernote to do lists and help me remember what I have to do.<br />
In the evenings, it's nice to go over my schedule for the day and see the things that I have worked on and perhaps completed before planning the next day.<br />
<br />
To all of this, I have added a<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fm15cmYU0IM" target="_blank"> Bullet Journal</a>. Writing down my daily, weekly and monthly tasks has helped to process what I need to do and the best way to get it done. These items are then placed on my web based tools for easy access everywhere.<br />
<br />
I have been trying harder to not go off the path after those BSOs and slide down deep rabbit holes. The goal is to add them to my to-do lists and project schedules.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-db628cb2-18c2-9f76-1e11-e2d594b0caac"></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "days one"; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Living in the United States right now sometimes seems threatening and scary. If you are in a different political party from the leadership of our country, well, its difficult. I think I might understand how a country breaks into Civil War. My own family is strongly divided regarding political issues, and it is easy to lose hope for our country. Then you pick your head up, look around, and see that many good things are still going on. Grassroot movements from like-minded folks can provide hope for the future. Recently I joined a “movement” in a nonpolitical way, --a "movement" that brings people of different races together in a very personal way that changed my perspective for the better--I found some new family members, or they found me --and it opened all kinds of new doors and windows for my heart and soul. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "days one"; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "days one"; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I now have African American cousins, proved by DNA! My DNA ethnicity report said I had no African genes, so how is this possible? Shame producing for me, I discovered that my ancestors who were enslavers in the first two hundred years of our country, had also produced slaves themselves at times, therefore giving me cousins who are African American descendants of slaves! To be clear, I am not shamed or embarrassed, but proud of having African American cousins. I am shamed by the actions of some of my ancestors! Amazingly, some of these folks and I match DNA with common ancestors from the 1700’s that we can identify! A multicultural family--how wonderful-- I already had a multinational one as a melting pot American. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "days one"; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "days one"; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Previously, I had helped do research for some slave recognition projects, so I was somewhat aware of how difficult it is to do genealogical research if your ancestors were enslaved. They lost their own names, and were not listed on censuses until 1870. They were listed on property tax lists, but then often only in numbers, like “20 males under age 30”. When names were listed, it was often only first names. What I was not aware of, is what a national movement had grown and was growing, to identify slaves and their families! The cousins who contacted me were lightyears ahead of me in their research, and in knowing how to go about researching their ancestors. It is interesting, because I knew other African American genealogists, and counted them among my friends. But suddenly, this was my family-- my family, and I wanted to know who they were and how we were related as well! DNA and genealogical research to the rescue. My learning curve has been sharp and sudden, but interesting ! The wealthy, Southern plantation owners I’d always admired were suddenly tarnished. Tarnished because not only did the people they “owned” become real to me, they were my own flesh and blood--and they were the flesh and blood of my ancestors who bred them for slaves! Disgusting. But it is true, and it is history, and now we are dealing with it. How wonderful to have the opportunity to “deal with it” by meeting new family members whose skin might be a different color, but who are smart, kind, and interested in some of the same things I am, family! </span></div>

Before I met this group, I did not even know the name Hairston for instance. But they were one of the largest slave owning families of the Southern United States. Several branches of my family married into theirs. I quickly learned about the book titled </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "days one"; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The Hairstons, An American Family in Black and White. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "days one"; font-size: 18pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">By Henry Wiencek. The book discusses the national and regional reunions of the amazing descendants of the Hairstons, both black and white. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "days one";"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Henry Wiencek says in this book,</span></span><br />
<br />
“For the Hairstons, family is serious business -- so serious, they're incorporated. The annual reunion of the national Hairston Clan, Inc. looks more like a convention than a typical family gathering. There are ministers and musicians, doctors and lawyers, big city bankers and small town barbers. And there are flag-waving patriots like World War II veteran Joe Henry Hairston.<br />
<br />
Says Joe Henry: "When you meet all these Hairstons, you got nuts, you got saints, you got beautiful people, you got ugly people. But they're all family." <br />
<br />
Not all of these Hairstons are connected by blood, but they are all connected by sweat and tears. They are named Hairston primarily because their ancestors worked on plantations owned by one of the biggest names in slavery.<br />
<br />
When American history writer Henry Wiencek was researching a book on plantations, he was invited to a Hairston reunion. <br />
<br />
"There were nearly 1,000 people," says Wiencek. "I was just amazed at the strength of family feeling that could bring so many people together from so many distant places, and I wondered where did that family strength come from, and where were the roots of that gathering. Did it go back all the way to slavery? And that's where it did go." <br />
<br />
The Hairstons so intrigued him that he spent the next eight years delving into its history. The result is his book: The Hairstons: An American Family In Black and White." </div>

<br />
“The black and white Hairstons are connected by the worst evil in America's history, but they have not turned their backs on each other. Because like it or not, they are family. They share a name, and a place, and a history.” <br />
<br />
“In an amazing bit of detective work, Henry Wiencek traced Joe Henry's roots back to a slave named Sal, purchased in 1785 for a barrel of tobacco. From a family will, he figured out that the Peter Hairston, who died in 1832, had children by this slave named Sal, which means that the great great great grandfather of the judge is also the great great great grandfather of Joe Henry. "Well, we were property and so masters used their property," says Joe Henry. <br />
<br />
The two men have not discussed this subject. "I consider Judge Peter a friend, a very good friend, and a very fine person," says Joe Henry. "But these are things you don't talk about in polite society in the South." <br />
<br />
At first, the judge believed that there wasn't enough evidence to prove that he was related to Joe Henry Hairston. Joe Henry, who is also an attorney, was also skeptical. <br />
<br />
Recently, though, the Judge changed his mind. "I have learned from my brother that he had had a conversation with an ancient cousin of ours that indeed it was probably true." So now the Judge has a new cousin. "I'm prouder to be kin to Joe Henry than to anybody else I know," he says. <br />
<br />
And Joe Henry has no hard feelings. "I am the product of my ancestors, whoever they were," he says. "My basic philosophy is not to hate. Hate is destructive."<span style="background-color: #f7f7f7; color: blue; font-family: "georgia"; font-size: 13.5pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "days one"; font-size: 18pt; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-family-in-black-and-white/">http://www.cbsnews.com/news/a-family-in-black-and-white/</a></span></div>

“Beaver Creek Plantation, under the ownership of George Hairston, was a large slave-holding tobacco plantation and the center of an empire in tobacco-growing and slave-trading built by the Hairston family, Scottish emigrants to Pennsylvania in the early 18th century. Located just outside today’s Martinsville, Virginia, the plantation thrived in tobacco production and textile manufacturing, as well as producing household goods and raising livestock. At one point the enslaved blacks of Beaver Creek were tending a thousand yam plants; in one day they made 660 candles.<br />
<div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;">
<br />
Beaver Creek was built in 1776 by George Hairston, son of Robert Hairston and Ruth Stovall Hairston, on a 30,000-plus acre royal land grant initially purchased from Col. Abram Penn. The original house was destroyed by fire in 1837 and was rebuilt by George Hairston's son Marshall. <br />
<br />
Builders of Beaver Creek, the Hairston family eventually came to control tens of thousands of acres of land in Virginia, North Carolina and elsewhere across the South. Initially planters of tobacco, the family eventually became the largest slaveholders in the South: the engine of their extraordinary wealth (they were said to be one of the wealthiest families in America) was the propagation of slaves for export to the Deep South. The family married into other prominent local families, including several intermarriages with the descendants of General Joseph Martin, for whom Martinsville is named. George Hairston, who married his cousin Matilda Martin, daughter of Col. William Martin and Susan (Hairston) Martin, represented the district in Congress . <br />
<br />
The Hairston family descends from Peter Hairston, who left Scotland for America, initially locating in Pennsylvania and eventually moving south to Virginia in the 1740s." <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_Creek_Plantation">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaver_Creek_Plantation</a></div>

Hordsville, built 1836 by George Hairston, Henry County, Virginia <br />
<br />
<br />
Ultimately, the fallout from the Civil War, chiefly the emancipation of slaves, put an end to the Hairston's booming business and the family's fortunes dwindled. At the center of the Plantation is the Hairston’s <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_revival" style="vertical-align: baseline;">classical revival</a> mansion. Although the plantation was founded in 1776, the present <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plantation_house_in_the_Southern_United_States" style="vertical-align: baseline;">house</a> was not built until 1837, to replace the original home destroyed in a fire. Today, the house is owned by Bank Services of Virginia, and the home and gardens are usually open to the public during the Historic Garden Week in Virginia.”<br />
<br />
Some of the living descendants of Hairston slaves are Jester and Jerry Hairston. “Jester Hairston was the first African-American to conduct the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. For most of this century he has been teaching white folks and black folks to sing spirituals the way his grandmother sang them as a slave on a Hairston plantation in North Carolina.” <br />
<br />
“When Jerry Hairston stepped up to the plate last season, the Hairstons stepped into the history books as the first black family to play major league baseball for three generations. His father and grandfather also played in the majors.” <br />

Among the many other things I’ve learned in my most recent new journey, I’ve learned about an organization I’d like to join. It is called “Coming to the Table” . I learned about this group from a blog titled Bitter Sweet, Linked Through Slavery. I want to tell you a bit about it, and about the blog which you can find at this link: https://linkedthroughslavery.com</div>
<span id="docs-internal-guid-db628cb2-18f2-b2c2-6549-24154260571a"><br /></span>
<br />
“Coming to the Table (CTTT) was founded by descendants of enslavers and enslaved people, in partnership with the Center for Justice & Peacebuilding at Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg, Virginia. CTTT was inspired by the vision of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in his “I Have a Dream” speech made during the 1963 March on Washington, that one day “the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.” CTTT values the sharing of personal, family and community stories as a powerful vehicle for uncovering history, building relationships, healing and inspiring action.<br />
<br />
CTTT provides leadership, resources and a supportive environment for all who wish to acknowledge and heal wounds from a racism that is rooted in the United States’ history of slavery.<br />
<br />
The organization was launched in January 2006 at Eastern Mennonite University. The idea for the inaugural gathering came from Will Hairston and Susan Hutchison, both European American descendants of historic American enslaving families. CTTT was nurtured by Amy Potter Czajkowski, on the staff of The Center for Justice & Peacebuilding, who obtained the initial grant funding. Amy and David Anderson Hooker, a faculty member in the Summer Peace Building Institute, took the lead in developing the Coming to the Table approach and model for addressing historically-based racism. Free copies of the manual can be downloaded from CTTT Resources.<br />
<br />
Besides its website, CTTT hosts a Facebook page, a Twitter account [@] and has a presence on YouTube. There are several local gathering groups where members of Coming to the Table meet in person; in the Mid-Atlantic region, the Northeast, San Francisco/Bay Area, Seattle and Washington, DC.”<br />
<br />
<br />
“BitterSweet: Linked Through Slavery is a working group of bloggers who are members of the non-profit group Coming to the Table (CTTT). We call ourselves “linked descendants,” people who have a joint history in slavery–a pairing of a descendant of an enslaved person with a descendant of his or her slaveholder, who have found each other and who are in communication.<br />
<br />
We bring a passionate commitment to looking deeply at the truth of the history of enslavement at the heart of the founding of the United States, facing the pains and schisms embedded in that history and its present day legacy, seeking reconciliation, if possible, and supporting action to open eyes and hearts and to dismantle institutionalized racism.<br />
<br />
While the BitterSweet group consists of people who know about their personal and family historical connections to enslavement, as descendants of enslaved people and of slaveholders, we welcome those who are looking for their connection to slavery, those who are curious about the legacy of slavery whether they feel a personal connection or not, and those who have stories to share.” <br />

In our own little group of multicultural cousins on facebook, we have amazing people ! We have several authors and genealogists, teachers, a Chief Warrant Officer, a Chief Marketing Advisor and Design Strategist from Harvard, and many more talented people, keeping up the tradition of amazing descendants regardless of race. How blessed I feel to be counted in their family, our family. <br />

My turn to blog is a wee bit after St Patrick's Day but the thought of researching the Irish ancestors is not bound by time.<br />

My Irish quest has been begging to start for years. Recently due to a DNA find, I have been sent on a new Irish quest when an O'Toole turned up as an ancient DNA match for our Langley DNA project.<br />
I have felt intimidated by the challenge of delving into the films on FamilySearch or Ireland, and just trying to sort out all the Michaels, Williams, and Margrets that I see when I go to FindMyPast or other Irish sites...words escape me. One thing I do know and follow is...the obvious search for our ancestors begins with a name, and, if you have it, a place. On the Hero's and my mom's side of the family there are many Irish names to look for.<br />
There are some blogs and websites that specialize in Ireland research<br />
Smallest Leaf is one of those. She has so much Irish information and many books listed on her blog. It is wonderful to stop by and browse. Click <a href="http://small-leavedshamrock.blogspot.com/p/irish-genealogy.html">here</a> to see her blog.<br />
Another site I really like it <a href="http://www.irish-genealogy-toolkit.com/">Irish Genealogy Tool Kit</a>.<br />
I like these because I need someone to give me direction. I am so ingrained in United States research it will take some shift in my paradigms to hopefully finds some success in venturing into Ireland research.<br />
What I have done so far...<br />
I started making a note of all the names I was looking for, variants of the names, and places the names were found. An example for the is : A Rootsweb site for <a href="http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~fianna/surname/index.html">Researching Irish Names</a>. I searched for Magill from my mom's ancestors. They were adamant in the 1830's per a letter written by John Magill that their family was the only ones who spelled it that way.<br />
"...I have been particular so that you may know if you meet with any person of the name of Magill you can tell whether they are your relation. I have seen several from Ireland that are no kin of mine. They spell their name McGill. They are generally native Irish and Roman Catholic. I recollect to have seen my grandfather's certificate from Ireland dated 1725. It was spelled Magill and all his descendants spell their names the same way. Any who do not are not of our kindred..." Click <a href="http://www.phillipsplace.net/genealogy/surnames/magill_1838_letter.html">here </a>to read the rest of the transcribed letter.<br />
My finding:<br />
MacGiolla ancient of Magill,<br />
Gill,<br />
McGill<br />
Turning to my Hero's Irish ancestors, I was able to glean the following for his known surnames.<br />
Death certificates helped with clues as to where the places were correct.<br />

I have toyed with learning Gaelic, but I haven't gotten that far yet.<br />
Besides knowing the surname, I discovered that the old Irish had a naming pattern. Most but not all used it. The Irish Tool Kit website points out that in the 1700s and 1800s those that immigrated to America did use this...making it hard to sort out the descendants when 5 brother, in the same area named their sons in the same pattern (true experience). I have posted on the naming patterns before click <a href="http://branchingoutthroughtheyears.blogspot.com/2010/01/irish-treasures.html">here</a> to read the post then click back to return.<br />
<br />
I have ascribed to the method of looking to others who have already done research reading how to find records in Ireland, talking to people who have UK experience in searching, and utilizing the free course on <a href="https://familysearch.org/learningcenter/results.html?fq=place%3A%22Ireland%22">FamilySearch.org.</a> I take the time to watch videos by those who have done the walk such as David Rencher's videos <a href="https://familysearch.org/blog/en/5-great-video-tips-searching-irish-ancestors/">Tips for Researching your Irish Ancestors</a>. I HAVE to mention the FamilySearch.org's Irish Collection which includes images... <a href="https://familysearch.org/search/collection/location/1927084?region=Ireland">Ireland Historical Records.</a><br />
<br />
There is something so exciting in searching for families that have been apart for years and reuniting them. I love genealogy research and have been excited to share how to research and source with the upcoming generation to get them involved in their history to know their ancestors. So Far, it has been a positive experience for both generations. 😉</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This year I am writing my review from the perspective of a UK family historian watching from afar and wishing she had made the journey across the pond. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I first started to write this post I started to discuss what was happening in Salt Lake City. But I am not in Salt Lake City this year I am at home in Wales.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">How can I write about a conference when I am not one of the attendees.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: large;">The Rootstech conference did not get underway until the Thursday but for me the excitement builds from the Monday.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: large;">In keeping with the tradition at 10am MST (SLC time) 5pm GMT the Rootstech week starts with <a href="http://hangouts.dearmyrtle.com/6-feb-2016-mwm.html" target="_blank">Mondays with Myrt from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City</a>. The usual panel (including me) has little to say as Pat Richley-Erickson aka DearMYRTLE interviews a variety of folks from across the globe who have made the journey to Utah arriving early enough to get some research time in the Family History Library. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-size: large;">Later on Monday early attendees from the Commonwealth countries enjoyed another tradition the Commonwealth dinner. This year they went to the <a href="http://geniaus.blogspot.co.uk/2017/01/calling-members-of-commonwealth-at.html" target="_blank">Blue Lemon</a> and afterwards photographs appeared on the </span><a href="http://geniaus.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/a-minority-group-at-rootstech.html" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">Geniaus blog</a><span style="font-size: large;">. I must say that when I went in 2015 this was a great way to meet others prior to the conference.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Going to an event like a genealogy conference is a great way to network with other genealogists/family historians. I know that for many attending classes is low priority. We all love to find connections with others (especially someone who may have photographs) and with such a large group many do find a link. This year a cousin of someone I met in 2015 made a connection with <a href="https://www.legalgenealogist.com/2017/02/11/another-rootstech-serendipity/" target="_blank">Judy G Russell The Legal Genealogist</a> after watching her talk on the live stream. I knew about this via facebook before she wrote her post but she illustrates my point so well (better than I could).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I managed to catch all the <a href="https://www.rootstech.org/" target="_blank">RootsTech</a> General Sessions on the live streaming and some of the classes that were streamed. Now that the recordings are up, those I missed I can catch up with later, there are more than those that livestreamed. Some are US centric but may hold useful suggestions most are general and the keynotes, in particular, inspirational and passionate.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If watching or attending RootsTech does nothing more than provide inspiration to feed your passion for your family then it has done its job. But we need innovators to provide us with the means to record, communicate and preserve. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of the technology advances have brought about the success of this conference in getting to folks across the world. In the early years you could lose the video if anyone else was online. This year those at home could vote using the RootsTech app on their phone. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We need new ideas rather than more of the same. I wonder what the innovators in the industry will bring us next year.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Before I go here courtesy of <a href="http://researchbylily.com.au/" target="_blank">Lilian Magill</a> (in the lilac sweater) is a photograph of many of the Geneabloggers at RootsTech 2017, noticeably absent were Russ Worthington (aka <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/+FtmuserBlogspot" target="_blank">Cousin Russ</a>) and Thomas MacEntee (<a href="http://www.geneabloggers.com/" target="_blank">Geneabloggers</a>).</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The final event for many of those in the photograph was an evening to wind down with friends courtesy of <a href="http://blog.dearmyrtle.com/" target="_blank">DearMyrtle</a> who has some of her friends visit her house for an after party.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love seeing the photographs from the other get togethers which are not part of the main RootsTech event. These are as much about why we should attend as the conference and you cannot get what I call "the buzz" unless you are actually there. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There will be lots of tired, enthusiastic people headed home today or in the coming week (some stay on to do research) but for many it is so good you want to come back again.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Maybe next year I can write a first hand report. (fingers crossed)</span></div>

<br />
<br />
You've seen them. People writing a blog post dealing with a specific subject and asking for input in the form of a post or comment. These can either stay on one blog or move from blog to blog.<br />
<br />
In the case of one blog hosting the carnival or party, the comments and posts are aggregated and put in a follow-up post. Some don't have a follow-up but request links in the comments section so that others can view posts.<br />
With the moving carnival, a reader goes from blog to blog reading the posts on the given subject.<br />
<br />
Some examples are Randy Seaver's <a href="http://www.geneamusings.com/2017/01/saturday-night-genealogy-fun-sngf-what.html">Saturday Night Fun</a> on <a href="http://www.geneamusings.com/">GenaMusings</a>, Elizabeth O'Neils's monthly <a href="http://www.littlebytesoflife.com/2016/04/lets-have-a-blog-party.html">Blog Party</a> on her <a href="http://www.littlebytesoflife.com/2016/04/lets-have-a-blog-party.html">Little Bytes of Life</a> Blog, the yearly Blog Caroling event from <a href="http://www.footnotemaven.com/">FootnoteMaven</a>, and my monthly <a href="http://theindepthgenealogist.com/geneachat-new-beginnings-moving-forward-2017/">GeneaChat</a> posts for the <a href="http://theindepthgenealogist.com/blog/">In-Depth Genealogist Blog</a>. Please post the links to others that you know of in the comments section below!<br />
<br />
So, why should you participate?<br />
First, it's fun! Joining with other genealogists to blog or comment about a topic can be a fun way to associate with others.<br />
<br />
Second, it gives you a topic to write about. I don't know about you, but sometimes, it's hard to get that idea formed so that you can get a new post out. The topics provided by these events will help.<br />
<br />
Third, it's a win/win situation! If you are the host of the party, it brings people to your blog as they read about your topic.<br />
As a participant, it brings attention to your post and using the link you provide brings traffic to your blog.<br />
When the Blog Carnival provides a follow up with all the comments and links contributed for the theme, your post will be highlighted and linked back. Again, bringing readers to your blog.<br />
<br />
So what are you waiting for? Join the fun and network with other bloggers by hosting or participating in a Blog Carnival. Party on Genealogy Bloggers!<br />

</span><br /><br />I suspect I am not alone in being surprised, when we have researched for years already, that breakthroughs in our genealogical research bring us exciting new family information, and if we are really lucky, new cousins! Especially, when it is not really due to our own work, but a gift of someone else’s hard work! That happened to me in just the last three weeks when a woman named Karen Migliori got in touch with me on ancestry to tell me that my DNA matched her husband’s Italian line of ancestors whose DNA and family tree she administered. I was so excited, because I knew very little about the Italian line of my mother’s family except for those who had lived in Richmond, Virginia, USA where I was born and raised. My DNA results said I was 5% Italian, and I was so happy to learn that. My mother often talked of her Italian grandmother, Mary Catherine Botto, who married her grandfather James Henry Kearse, who was Irish. Even though I am 15% Irish, I have always felt an affinity and affection for the Italian passions I inherited.<br /><br />When I started my family genealogical research, I was thrilled to get my Italian line together, even if only through my second great grandparents who immigrated from Italy to America, settling in Virginia. Lewis Botto, 1831- bef. 1866, of San Colombano Certenoli (GE), Italy, married Catharina Revaro, 1825-1903 of Genoa, Genova, Italy. They married in Richmond, Virginia in 1853. Notice that from this marriage record, I learned the names of Lewis’s parents, my third great grandparents, Lawrence and Mary Botto (Lorenzo and Maria Rosa Costa Botto).<br /><br /><br />Louis Botte (Lewis Botto)<br />In the <a href="http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=60214">Virginia, Select Marriages, 1785-1940</a><br /><br /><div>
Name: Louis Botte (Botto)<br />Gender: Male<br />Age: 21<br />Birth Date: 1832<br />Birth Place: Italy<br /><br />Marriage Date: 3 Sep 1853<br />Marriage Place: Richmond, Virginia<br /><br />Father: <a href="http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?viewrecord=1&r=an&db=FS1VirginiaMarriages&indiv=try&h=62445">Lawrence Botte</a> (Lorenzo Botto)<br />Mother: <a href="http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?viewrecord=1&r=an&db=FS1VirginiaMarriages&indiv=try&h=62446">Mary</a> (Maria Rosa Costa)<br /><br />Spouse: <a href="http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?viewrecord=1&r=an&db=FS1VirginiaMarriages&indiv=try&h=62443">Catharine Rivers</a> (Revaro)<br /><br /><br />FHL Film Number: 31855<br />Reference ID: P1 #39<br /><br /><br />Together, Lewis and Catharina Botto had two children, James Lewis Botto, 1857-1923, and Mary Catherine Botto, 1858-1906. Mary Catherine as I said before, married James H. Kearse and they were my great grandparents, making Lewis and Catherine Revaro Botto my second great grandparents.. On the 1860 census, Lewis appears as a confectioner in Richmond, VA. and is living with his wife and two children.</div>
<div>
<br />1860 United States Federal Census</div>
<div>
Name: Lewis Batto (Botto)<br />Age: 28<br />Birth Year: abt 1832<br />Gender: Male<br /><br />Birth Place: Italy<br />Home in 1860: Richmond Ward 1,Virginia, USA<br />Post Office: Richmond<br /><br />Family Number 207<br /><br />Household Members: <br />Name Age<br />Lewis Batto 28<br />Catharine Batto 20</div>
<div>
James Lewis Batto 4</div>
<div>
Mary Catherine 3</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, I have not yet been able to discover for sure what happened to Lewis Botto. I do not know if he died in the Civil War, if he and Catharine got divorced, or just why he disappeared, but I do know that in 1866, Catharine married her second husband, Nicholas Raffo, 1837-1873, also born in Italy. Together they had one son, John Francis Raffo, 1867-1951. On the marriage record of Catharine Revaro Botto to Nicholas Raffo, I finally learned that Catharine’s father’s name was Anton Revaro, sometimes seen as Andrew Rivers. At last, I knew the names of my third great grandfathers.</div>

Catharine Revaro Botto Raffo had three children altogether, two sons and one daughter. James Lewis Botto married Margaret Slattery and had six children. Catharine’s daughter Mary Catherine Botto married James Kearse and had four children, including a set of twin girls and two boys. Catherine Botto Raffo’s son John Francis Raffo , 1867-1951, married Mary Margaret “Minnie” Finnegan and had eight children! Blessed to have three children, Catharine had 18 grandchildren! Lewis Botto had ten grandchildren. What a legacy!</div>
<div>
<br />James Lewis Botto owned and operated a nightclub in Richmond called the St. Helena. Mary Catherine B. Kearse was a business woman like her mother, collecting rents from rental property they owned, and she was also a jeweler, the co-owner of a well known jewelry store in Richmond. John Francis Raffo was a firefighter who became the Chief of the City of Richmond Fire Department with a career that spanned fifty years! Teachers, Police Officers, Firefighters, and a Catholic Priest. the caretakers of Richmond, Virginia, USA were some of my own family! <br /><br />Previously, I had met, through ancestry, some of my living Raffo cousins, in California, Virginia, and right here in North Carolina, only about an hour away! <br /><br />That was about all I knew until two weeks ago. Even though I had met and become friends with another Botto cousin through our own DNA match- Eric Dimiceli from New York, he only knew that he had a second great grandmother named Catarina Botto, 1837-1913, who was born in San Colombano, Certenoli, GE, Italy also! She had married a Carlo Molinari. We knew they were related, but could not determine how for lack of records. <br /><br />Then two weeks ago, I got a note on Ancestry from Karen about her husband Tom Migliori and his cousin Raymond Malispina. She and Ray are the genealogists of the family. Raymond had been to Italy at least five times, and had a cousin who did original research there. Ray sent me this lovely note for my records just a few days after we met: <br /><br /><i>“Good morning cousin<br />Amen to that!<br /><br />One piece of new news you might want for the records is the church containing the data on Botto, Cuneo, et. al. is S. Maria Assunta in the town of S. Colombano Certenoli. It is just about a mile or so southeast of the wonderful city of Chiavari, on the sea some 40 miles south of Genoa and just below Portofino (the Cinque Terra is just a short train ride south of Chiavari). We've used Chiavari as our base city on five visits to Italy. Ray”</i><br /><br />Raymond shared his own genealogical research and family tree with us, which gave us more ancestors! It also let us know that the four of us descended from siblings! Lorenzo (Lawrence) Botto, 1801-1860, married Maria (Mary) Rosa Costa, 1806-1883. I checked my DNA for matches to the surname Costa, and there they were, I matched Eric, Ray and Thomas--Karen’s husband. In fact, Ancestry has now put the four of us in an ancestry DNA circle! Lorenzo and Maria Rosa had six children, and now we know descendants from three of them! Ray sent this information to Eric Dimiceli and me: <br /><br /><i>“Botto Family Records S. Colombano Certenoli<br /><br />As promised here is the information found in the records of the church in S. Colombano Certenoli.<br /><br />Lorenzo Botto (son of Bernardo) was born in the town of Rapallo in 1801 on July 19 1826 he married Maria Rosa Costa (daughter of Luigi) at the church in S. Colombano. Lorenzo died November 14,1860.They had six children:</i></div>
<div>
<i><br />-Angela Maria born October 16, 1827, She married Bartolomeo Daveggio on February 5 1845 This is my second great grandmother!!!!<br /><br />-Giacomo Luigi was born July 23, 1831. No record of marriage in S. Colombano.<br /><br />-Maria Teresa was born October 13. 1834. She married Antonio Raggio May 2, 1859.<br /><br />-Caterina was born April 17, 1837. She married a Carlo Molinari (no date). She died July 25, 1913.<br /><br />-Rosa was born October 19, 1841. She died October 9, 1842.<br /><br />-Bartolomeo born October 9, 1845. Married Angela Cademartori December 31, 1865. Died February 18, 1906."</i><br /><br /><br />How exciting to discover that our second great grandparents were siblings! Eric descends from Catherina Botto; Ray and Tom descend from her sister Angela Maria Botto; and I descend from their brother Giacomo Luigi! Giacomo Luigi, I was so happy I could hardly stop saying that name. I had only known him as Lewis who married Caterina Revaro, and had a son named James Lewis Botto and daughter Mary Catherine Botto! Giacomo Luigi translates to James Lewis also, the name of his son! Live and learn! It was so much fun! I immediately sent out an email to all of my Kearse/Botto first and second cousins to introduce Ray and Eric, and give them the information! I also learned the names of two of my fourth great grandparents! Lorenzo’s father was Bernardo Botto, and Maria Rosa Costa’s father was Luigi Costa! There it was, Luigi, a family name.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since Ray, Eric, Tom, and I are fourth cousins, we should share a third great grandparent, and indeed we are all descendants of our third great grandparents, Lorenzo and Maria Rosa Costa Botto! Ray and I share 13.1 centimorgans of DNA across one DNA segment! Eric and I share 12.0 cM’s of DNA over one DNA segment and Tom and I share 22.5 cM’s over 2 DNA segments. Below are our relationship charts, detailing our kinship. <br /><br />What a blessing from DNA and genealogical research to find three new cousins from California, to New York to North Carolina, USA--from Italy with love! <br /><br /><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/HkjACgmKCgN9fD3tXUZsFHhMwNpOQCT4NAGutReLS1Ip9AIGw-t-xXHdE6ZjG2DHp6LU8Qq6St6WOi31OCUTyE9WdPD6u9nkjbGaZK2A4AGomWvWI2HxzGRbYoQhwg9TsJBwbw8t" /><br /><br /><br />Sono cosi felice!

I found once such story in my sister-in-law's family tree. Martha Lizola Mills; her daughter, Ogarita Elizabeth Bellows; and her granddaughter, Izola Louis Hills, all believed Martha was the secret wife of John Wilkes Booth, the person many witnessed assassinated then president Abraham Lincolon. They also believed Booth escaped and lived several more years and that he fathered a son with Martha Lizola after Lincoln's assassination.<br />
<br />
Documentation and the recollections of Martha Lizola's <a href="http://tangledrootsandtrees.blogspot.com/2014/01/izola-forrester-american-author.html" target="_blank">granddaughter</a>, which she included in a book, <i>This One Mad Act</i>, agree. Her parents were Abraham Standish and Izola Maria (Mendosa) Mills. Abraham was the owner and captain of a trading schooner in the China Trade. He met his wife in Spain. According to Martha's granddaughter, Izola Maria died giving birth to her only daughter on board ship off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, during a storm. Martha Lizola was primarily raised by her aunt, Abraham's sister, Fanny (Mills) D'Arcy.<br />

<br />
Charles Bellows is never mentioned in <i>This One Mad Act</i> but Massachusetts marriage records indicated he and Martha Lizola were married 30 Jul 1855 in Boston. Rhode Island birth records listed Charles and Martha as the parents of Ogarita Elizabeth, who believed she was actually John Wilkes Booth's daughter. Navy muster rolls seem to prove that Charles could not have been the father as he was stationed on a ship off Montevideo, Uruguay, during the critical period.<br />
<br />
The 1860 census indicated Martha Lizola was living in Boston with Ogarita and a son, Harry, aged five. Little Harry disappeared from the records after that; so I assume he died as a child. Martha's story was that she was a young actress and met John Wilkes Booth in Richmond in 1858 or 1859. It was love at first sight. She said she and Booth lived on a small farm in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and that Booth would return to their home between acting engagements.<br />
<br />
After the Civil War, Martha Lizola married John Stevenson on 23 Mar 1871 in Boston. This is supported by Massachusetts marriage records. She claimed it was a marriage of convenience and that the son born to them a month earlier, Harry Jerome Dresback Stevenson, was actually the son of John Wilkes Booth. She claimed she married Stevenson, a friend of Booth's so she could travel to California and meet Booth while he was in hiding before leaving the country. It was during that meeting that Harry Jerome was conceived.<br />

Martha Lizola died in 1887 and is buried in Plains Cemetery at Canterbury, Connecticut.<br />
<br />
Her daughter, Ogarita, was also a stage actress, and began using Booth as her stage name in 1884, six years before her death at the age of 32. Ogarita's daughter, Lizola Louise (Hills) was adopted by George Forrester, a Chicago newspaper man, after her mother's death. Her second husband, Mann Page, was my sister-in-law's 8th cousin once removed.<br />

So do you believe Martha Lizola (Mills) Bellows Stevenson married John Wilkes Booth and that he fathered two of her children?<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Martha Lizola Mills was born at Stamford, Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1837 to Abraham Standish and Izola Maria (Mendosa) Mills. Her father was a sea captain. She married first Charles Still Bellows on 30 Jul 1855 at Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts; second John H Stevenon on 23 Mar 1871; and third, according to her granddaughter, but no documentation has yet been found, Edwin S Bates two or three years before her death. She died in Nov 1887 in Canterbury, Windham, Connecticut and is buried in Plains Cemetery at Windham. She went to her death believing she had been married to John Wilkes Booth, that both her children were his, and he escaped capture at the Garrett farm and died in 1879.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">According to Wikipedia, muster rolls indicate Charles Still Bellows was aboard a ship near Montevideo, Uruguay, for the critical time period, making it impossible for him to be the father of Ogarita (Bellows) Henderson, Izola Forrester's mother.</span>Schalene Dagutishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10155315167291741937noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728509094770344156.post-34052020532441795132017-01-19T13:39:00.001+00:002017-01-19T13:39:30.820+00:00Stimulating Memory Sharing<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-size: large;">Gathering
memories was a frequent topic of several friends at the Family History Center I
work at. There was much discussion trying to come up with the right formula for family responsiveness.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: large;">It
is easy to say ask questions at reunions, family gatherings, visits </span></span></div>

older members of the family, but the results are not always what you had hoped
for.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;">I
have written several memories on my personal blog most in regards to holidays
and many with recipes. It was all my memories. I had asked my husband’s twin to
share memories and he would always say, “I don’t remember anything about
growing up.” </span><span style="font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">😉 </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Both you and I
know that was true, he just wasn’t focused. To experiment, since I was one of
the </span>advisers<span style="font-family: inherit;"> on getting stories over the holidays, I decided to utilize my
Facebook page to try and pull in cousins and siblings of my husband’s family to
share some of their stories. It didn’t quite turn out the way I had thought,
but it did turn out that I filled a need of the Hero’s cousins</span></span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">.</span><span style="font-family: Segoe UI Emoji, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

of the family that stimulated conversations about when, where they were at the
time of the photo and who was doing what at that time. It was fun seeing the cousins come together
across the miles, who have not been together for years, and engage each other with their thoughts as memories. That
would not have happened if I had not reached out to them and had given them a
visual stimulus. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
