Eastman Researchers, My Great Grandmother..Margaret Mae EASTMAN

  This lady wrote to me from the time I was 12 + until her death in Jan 1958. the 23th.

She was the daughter of George Herbert EASTMAN  and Lydia TROWBRIDGE.

Abijah Stoddard EASTMAN was George's father and mother was Esther Thomas (*)

Vespasion EASTMAN born 1754  - 1828 wife Eunice STODDARD

Azariah EASTMAN 1718  d 1777 in Fairfield, Fairfield CT. w Ruth JENKINS b abt 1722 d 1777

Alas the letters we shared were lost by the USN when we were shipped from Coronado, CA to Barbers Point, HI in 1967 Feb.  WE lost an entire wardrobe box with most of my keepsakes for family data and our recent Xmas gift from my parents that the mail lost and got it to us as they were closing the box.  BOOO HOOO> Almost all of the early letters by my husband were gone also.
I wrote to many of MOM and DAD's Elders to help MOM do Genealogy.

That is a her last husband (Mr. Archer) in picture holding a FOULK baby and the parents are being them.

FOULK"S whose DAD is that.?   They also lost my address book with ability to reach many of these  people lost.

Quarterlies, Pamphlets, and Newsletters Questions


I am asking how many readers  use these sources for information?

I subscribe to a group of Genealogical Societies and they all produce what I have always thought was good information for a genealogist to be aware of. Having even broken Brick Walls with the information, was surprised how many go to only on line sources? for information.

Yes, some groups are putting their information on line so you can garner data there.

Totally amazed at the recent information found in the Vermont Genealogy  produced by the Genealogical Society of Vermont.  Was this a new quarterly? No, it was a much earlier one for early 2000.

See I have data that says whom Susan Madison's parents were, but the more I learn I am not sure that the sources are correct at all.

Next time to the Michigan Archives I want to see if they have anything for the regions she was from.

At those Archives I found data in a Quarterly that completed another line that was in Maryland.

Amazing what is out there if you go looking.


Please go looking at things besides the internet.  It may surprise you.

One has to remember many states were under other states early ie Maine was under Massachussetts, North Carolina and South Carolina were under VA for a short period of time.

Also Maryland claimed several miles north into Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania claimed about 50 miles into Maryland.  I think it was also relevant for several other states.

Remember the Ohio Company covered to the Mississippi River in some areas until the states were incorporated in the upper region.

So please contact me as to, if you use these vital sources in your research.

FAMILY SEARCH.ORG BY DIANE GODINEZ





Welcome To FamilySearch.org 2019
Presented by: Patricia “Diane” Godinez


Family History has been a part of my life for over 42 years. I started out with two yellow pages of names of relatives in England.
When they died, they left no one to inherit their estate. Eventually it turned out that my mother and perhaps a few of her cousins, would be able to have something small with which to remember this couple. I don’t know their names but their legacy to me was the enjoyment and thrill of seeking after many others on my family tree.
I first learned how to do research in classes at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I enjoyed their program of PAF/Personal Ancestry File and looking at microfiche and microfilm in their local family history libraries. I perfected my skills by attending family history fairs, joining numerous groups, reading books, traipsing thru cemeteries, doing DNA tests on family members, traveling to Mexico and Canada, and by being a teacher of beginner genealogy classes.
I have had great luck in connecting with young and old by interviewing in person and writing letters or emails when distance was a factor. I like to think out of the box. My pleasure has been in helping others to find their own connections.
My special talents seem to be in taking pictures, keeping journals, making posters, and remembering to share genealogical findings with others. It also helps that I have a love for the Spanish language and world history. I have since added the study of Romanian and Italian.
I look forward to an afternoon of sharing information and experiences with my fellow members and invited guests of the Chula Vista Genealogical Society.

This event is FREE to attend.  Please register to attend this workshop on the CVGS web page -- www.CVGenealogy.org -- on the Events tab so that we can plan for seating, handouts and refreshments.
