Native American Information

Native American Information

As I am wandering along looking for clues ever so often I find a new link or two to share.
Being an avid follower of "The Lost Colony"  on Roanoke Island I was pleased to see that
Roberta Estes has started a new blog.

She has already posted seven topics regarding Indian research.  Her last post was this one and you can read the  others at the same link. Having read each one, suspect you will like to read them too.


Native Heritage Project | Documenting the Ancestors

Ancestral Name Roulette

Ancestral Name Roulette

My person is Hannah OEN born 1826 in Germany ?   according to Migration Records if they are hers.

She came to America with two sisters landing in New York.  Family papers say she was from Russia.

So it must have been near or part of that area Russia was involved in.


She came west to  Illinois and married Abraham D. Young Jr. whom was born in Maine.
Hannah was Abraham's second wife, the first was Eliza Grover of Maine.

Hannah m 20 Dec 1849 Boone Boone Ill US 

Death Nasha, Chickasaw 

Have documentation of marriage and death. 

Her death was 29 April 1896 Chickasaw Co. Ia area, boundaries were moving.

She was the mother of  Hannah Young whom married Calvin Fay JONES of Rensselaer Co. New York, Jones Hollow, on Jones Rd. Petersburg, NY.

Daughter Hannah  marries Calvin Fay 5 July 1868 Butler Co. IOWA at her father's home. Have certificate.
My Anniversary is the same date as Calvin and Hannah.

My cousin Shirley Lee       has site.   E-Mail: jwife@charter.net has Young site

More Research Information Europe Anyone

Here I am again saying try the free sites first.  I have found lots of great information by using this site.
worldgenweb.org.  
Click on the map.  Europe

Then you choose between CenEuroGenWeb  or East Europe Genealogy Web
 W. David Samuelsen is coordinator of this 1st site. He is the same person who has

SAMPUBCO this site for United States information. One of my very favorite sites to use.

Many countries have translations on the site for assistance.

Eastern Europe has a multi plex of assistants according to the countries.

Check it out. 

Of course my alternate choices are familysearch.org and one more I will list next.
Familysearch.org recently released many new records for some European countries.
Here is hoping it will break down a few more walls.

The list on their front page is extensive but they also added more information to some of them: Germany,
Spain, England, Netherlands, & Italy.

 I see they even list Africa on their site. If you have not been here in a while it may be worth your while to come take a look.

Tennessee Anyone Davidson County and Area

As a researcher I am adamant about how to start your research no matter where your researching.
Days of old it was hard and dreary and confusing. Along came a great idea that blossomed into a great venue for genealogists.
Having no idea how many hours I  spent searching in Reference Books, Who's Who's and Compendium's and Dictionaries for information this venue does not replace that but gives the soul a boost as we are struggling to first start or to complete a lineage.

When Davidson County came into view for research, reaching out to the keyboard I typed in usgenweb.org. Yes, up came that awesome site. Then I clicked on the county of need. Reading the information posted on the board on the way.  This county was a summation of more than one county in the end.  So one needs to watch your time lines for the break aways.

Here is the first one:Free Genealogy and Family History Online - The USGenWeb Project

Here is the second one:TNGenWeb Project, Inc. |

Here is the third one:List of Counties | TNGenWeb Project, Inc.

Why this one third because it tells you who the Parent county was for researching.

 I then recommend you look at the map as the fourth one:
Tennessee County Formation Maps, from Animap. TNGenWeb

Reason is so you become familiar with the counties around the area which you are seeking information.
Read the data with in the site on the county,
This County was: Cumberland District of North Carolina, Washington Co. prior to state development and county being created. 1783.

Now you are ready to click on Davidson County and go to real work.   Davidson County

By the way, I learned Nashville, is in this county.  So lucky for those citizens.

This site also says they have a site on Facebook.  Lots of resources and data can be found here.

My husbands family surnames: BROWN, TATUM, and some not known ones yet.
His family left many Browns residing there when they moved north to Iowa.

We are looking for his wife Anna Tatum's parents, suspect that Ira Tatum is a brother, for her husband & a brother witnessed papers for Ira Tatum's Will.  Anna Tatum was born about 1800.

Remember I said watch the lines. Robert Brown died 21 Dec 1849 Sumner, Tenn. US being born
1774 Orange, North Carolina, US.  Son Jacob Cantral Brown  1797-1884 married Anna Tatum, Sumner Co. Tenn. US

Sumner Co. was taken from Davidson Co. 1786
                          Wilson Co was taken from Sumner Co. 1799

Williamson Co was taken from Davidson in 1799

This method can be applied to any county in the usgenweb.org system to get started.

A new found acquaintance has said she will gladly share this information with my blog.
Judy G Russell of the Legal Genealogist posted data about the District Courts in Philadelphia about 1829.
This may help you to find the right court if the court you looked did not have it. You will need to probably look twice more.
Please go to her blog page and read this so very important information for Philadelphia area research.
Too many district courts! | The Legal Genealogist

Judy Thanks so very much. I am sure this is a surprise to many.

Suggestions are: go through your genealogy program and see where you can fill in some of the dashes and work on that while the storm floats through and I am recovering from what ever it is.

Pennsylvania Researchers-- Information

Pennsylvania Researchers,
I just received an email stating that the bill Governor Corbett signed 15 December 2011, will be  affective
13 February, 2012.

Pennsylvania Governor Corbett signed Vital Records Bill SB-361 into law on December 15, 2011 as Act 110 of 2011. It goes into effect on February 13^th, 2012. State death records more than 50 years old and birth records more than 105 years old will then be available to all at the Pennsylvania State Archives in Harrisburg. However, the new law does not require that they be made available online, but now makes it legally possible to do so. We have to be vigilant in making sure the Governor and the State Archives do all they can to make sure the records are made available online and that we don't end up with the very real possibility of foot dragging or empty promises.

Please visit the People for Better Pennsylvania Historical Records Access  (PaHR-Access) completely revised website for more information about this. Be sure to read Frequently Asked Questions for a detailed discussion and in particular When And How Can I Start Looking At These Records? for how these records can be put online at no cost to the taxpayer:http://users.rcn.com/timarg/PaHR-Access.htm

The book is named: North Carolina Research Genealogy and Local History  by Helen F M Leary, 2nd edition.

She also mentions North Carolina Archives for information.
