Heads Up on Someone to Follow

 

                   We just keep getting better with helpers. I have  chatted about this person on a low scale but we need to reach out and really say thanks and use what he has uncovered. Put together all in one place for us to look for information.


                   For all those whom won't use FACEBOOK for Genealogical Research, my heart is sad for you.  Fortunately this person has a blog and he posts on Facebook what he blogs.

                 
                  So maybe you need to take a few minutes and size up the information and the quality of
this persons data.

New York Information I can only give you link and about.. VITAL

Dispossessing Loyalists and Redistributing Property in Revolutionary New York

The American Revolution was a civil war. It may have given rise to a republic in which the foundation for government legitimacy is a democratic citizenry offering its voluntary consent to law. But that was the hard-won outcome of a violent conflict during which loyalty to the Revolutionary cause was often coerced at bayonet point. Revolutionary governments likewise met non-allegiance with punitive measures. The lingering effects of coercive state policies enacted in the 1770s and early 1780s muddled the transition to consensual government. Nothing makes this clearer than the widespread seizure of property owned by known loyalists.

This is a blog posted by Mark Boonshoft.  But it does make one aware that land was repossessed so there are more records somewhere. I can not post his data here only that he is discussing this topic. https://www.nypl.org/blog/2016/09/19/loyalist-property-confiscation?fbclid=IwAR38J_idlj6HjNO7Nylil9BJa8Emw5hpmoOVz4TElQHQ3-yZXtce

Thank You sir for reminding us. Shame on me because I had an ancestor whom's brother went north. I should have followed that up.

New Links, Military and others

New Links, Military and Others.


Having had ancestors in family that did this.   Some stayed north and some came back.

Remember the boundaries were not set like today.  Some started in the Upper Region and some came up from the more southern area.   This may be a big help for you all wondering where they went.

http://www.ourancestorsrevealed.com/2019/11/10/veterans-researchthe-u-s-army-transport-service-passenger-lists-1910-1939/?fbclid=IwAR2lKRoH-4eELSElvb4txNEvVLwxNGpjOaJqFqaqglH9ohQ65pqOpSjuiH0


This site is very vital for research of Veterans.   Lots of names to track potentially.

The below site is a much needed piece of information for those whom loose their kin in New England at the pre and during time of the Rev War happening.

The Forgotten Immigrants: The Journey of the New England Planters to Nova Scotia, 1759-1768

Did You Know?

8,000 New Englanders came to present-day Nova Scotia and New Brunswick from 1759 to 1768.

Newspapers and Facebook Links

   

               Newspapers and Facebook Links



            Today I want to honor someone and make you all aware of what you may be missing.
             We have a terrific researcher that posts to his blog his updates very often about data we
             could be using.

            Yesterday I passed at the CVGS Board Meeting that Newspapers that used in the past
             have been upgraded greatly on several sites.

             This is a new one posted today.  We do not hear much chatter about this topic for more
              recent Ancestors. Kenneth R Marks has been posting about many different newspapers.
           
             He also posts about all areas of the USA that had newspapers I suspect.
Was your father, grandfather, or uncle at one of the 2,650 Civilian Conservation Corps camps from 1933-1942? There are now a total of 1,145 different camp newspaper titles that have been digitized and are now online for you to browse and search.
