New Sources I Found
New Sources
As we are catching up with deaths in family, I found new sources to look at for information to locate.
Some of it I have lived with daily almost.
FRA the Fleet Reserve Association posts quarterlies and monthlies and is loaded with data for people looking for the
retired, deceased or alive serviceperson.
Now they are not the only group of military that produce bullitens and data.
I know the FRA posts deceased names. Also runs stories of events and activities of the past as well as the upcoming events.
As I comprehend this, each Branch does this so if you know of the group you may be able to garner more knowledge.
Another Magazine is: "The American Legion (the magazine for a strong America)"
Their last magazine had for a topic: Path of Life (the National Native American Veterans Memorials Meaning.}
There were two other very interesting topics all about the service people of the past.
This magazine has been out there since 1919.
Does our Libraries carry them?? Of course, ours are not open. Other places they are open for access with proper behavi
The Naval Aviation Museum Foundation puts out an super quarterly.
Yes, one of my husbands units was recognized in it this time what a surprise to us all.
I am sure that the Air Force and the Army must surely do the same.
Also if you visit one of the museums they have quarterlies also. We have one for the Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor. I just can not lay hands on it at the momment.
Husband toured the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio and was very impressed would love to go spend a couple days there at least. Another he was stationed next to and has gone back to visit is: Naval Aviation Museum, Pensacola, Fl.
I enjoy going to our own military affiliated Museum in Balboa Park. It is amazing the things that will trigger you to recall things in your families past.

I Think I Am Back.
Well, months of frustration and some frutation I think I am back.
We Lost Mary in September and her sister Shirley 12 days later.
It has been a rough road.
Hoping my new computer will be worth the funds and time relearning
almost everything.
This is a test because I have lots to share and lots of information for others.

Tracking One's Tax Records
Tracking One's Tax Records
Have you tracked your Ancestor's Tax Records? Do you know how many kinds there were?
Various states had different rules and tax obligations. Many tax different things in
their region verses others.
Having little trouble finding School Taxes, Road Taxes, Land Taxes, you need to know
their were other taxes that were levied on the citizens to improve the town or school.
Having found my ancestors Tax Papers for selling vegetables in Maryland, and they
followed him to Pennsylvania to get their last dollar per say.
Just wanted to pass this tidbit on to you.

most of his and once found the family expanded and he said not to ever loose them.
We took road trips to find his father, Grandad Carl F JONES, we accomplished this when I was 12. He knew
his Dad since he was the oldest. He vaguely remembered some of his kin on his Dad's side. Since he lived with
his Mom he met many of the FOULK kin.

Heads Up on Changes
Thomas MacEntee sent me this:
Hello Susan C ,
One of my goals is to make sure you and all genealogists are informed of upcoming changes - especially when it is a HUGE one at AncestryDNA!
While there has been no formal announcement, several genetic genealogists with inside knowledge have helped to warn AncestryDNA customers:
AncestryDNA is recalibrating its algorithm to help remove false matches. However, this means that any current matches less than 8cm will NOT be displayed!
What should you do? Well check out these articles by knowledgeable DNA and genealogy experts on the procedure to preserve these matches:
Ancestry to Remove DNA Matches Soon – Preservation Strategies with Detailed Instructions by Roberta Estes of DNA eXplained.
Some updates to AncestryDNA's matching system and a database update by Debbie Kennett of Cruwys News
AncestryDNA Updates Coming: What To Do Next by Diahann Southard of Your DNA Guide
AncestryDNA Matching White Paper
REMEMBER! Knowledge is power. AncestryDNA will make an official announcement next week, but please don't put this off if you have matches you want to preserve. Cheers!
Thomas MacEntee
Thanks Thomas, put here for those whom said they had not heard. Full credit yours.

Summer Heat is Here, Recipes for Summer maybe passed down?
Summer Heat brings different cooking in many homes. Has your family passed down a recipe or two
for you utilize?
I remember we made many, many jello recipes, lots of salads, and when all else failed peanut butter
and jelly sandwiches.
We made home made Ice Cream often and no one grumbled about turning the crank, not if they wanted some of
the cool delicious peach Ice Cream or chocolate, or blackberry. Yes, we did eat Vanilla flavored also.
O yes, BBQ came about when I was a teen, so once in a long while we would do BBQ: Hamburgers, Hot Dogs,
Beef or Pork Ribs and rarely a steak. The other meats went much farther.
We could have pudding and cereal for supper if really warm. Mom invented a quick individual pie idea.
We all ate cornflakes, so we would make pudding and put the cornflakes in the bowl and pudding on top
with fresh whipped cream. The puddings were many in flavor: Vanilla, Chocolate, Banana, Coconut, Lemon,
Fresh Peaches, Fresh Pears, minus the pudding but with the whipped cream.
Loving the Blackberries and cornflakes and whip cream was awesome. Sometimes we used Ruskets if we had
them. Today I like to use Grapenuts and do the same thing. Just very hard to find good Blackberries. To
difficult for in town living to grow. I have tried. Blueberries grow well in large pots.
Our son had blackberries he brought from Mom's but then they moved. They had a large lot to grow a massive
garden and fruit trees. So did my Uncle when alive in Lemon Grove. He had an acre lot. Blackberries ramble
as you know and it is difficult to control their element.
Have you made the Beet, cherry jello salad with walnuts? It is on my list of doing. Great Aunt Edna
Foulk introduced us to that and serve with sour cream.
The Lime and Pineapple jello with either sour cream or whipped cream or salad dressing a dab on top.
Not being a fan of a lot of the jelled meat dishes but have eaten them. Have you?
Cold Chicken salad or turkey salad or ham salad is a life saver if you were prepared.
I like to take some of the packaged pasta salads and chop in the various meat and add yellow, red and
green peppers to it. Light on the green they are stronger and better for baking.
Do not forget we boiled eggs and potatoes and did many dishes using them also. Lots of Fresh fruit from
our trees also helped. An Apple a Day keeps the Dr away. We had 10 apple trees, regular and winter pears,
Blackberries, Raspberries, one plum tree.
So what do you remember of your summer meals?
Breakfast for us was normally: egg, toast, later cold cereal
came about but not often much to expensive. Biscuits and peanut butter and Jelly. It also doubled for our
lunch with a piece of fruit. Pancakes or Waffles on the weekends or when no school.

Do You Remember in Your Tree?
Do You Remember Small Stuff In Your Tree?
Being full of questions today this will be a string of them, so bear with me, please.
Reading Dick Eastman's Blog jarred a my mind, which I am hoping to maybe rattle
yours with thoughts.
Having lived a interesting life that I had not thought of like that before, I realized much of
what I have lived is not in the family tree. It was small stuff to me. Realizing that it may be to
me but not if someone else is trying to remember me. O, do you think of that when you are doing Genealogy?
With our world trying to go upside down, suspecting maybe a different slate on thinking on our
data might help the future and ourselves in our research. Do You Agree?
Love using a Timeline, how intense or casual should it be?
Miss our general sessions and much has transpired. Would love to know how in depth you do your
personal time line for the future to see ?

Names, Places, Changes, and More.
Well, having received a My Heritage.com Match, I gave it a look. I read and reread dates and places. Went to my tree and what did I see.
Basically confusion, many dates were correct but places names were not, mmm that could be a boundary change right?
To add to the confusion, it was a generation of correct and then a generation of, off a year, different town etc.
Thinking maybe they were copying someones tree or trees.
NO that can't be people are honest and do not do that right??? ooo WRONG. But not having proof
wrote a letter requesting more information on the sources and family as they presented it.
Back to having to dig up the history better than what I can remember it to see if it was boundary changes or something else. History is so important in our research.
History if it had been recorded right would have probably prevented much mayhem of today. Or had the students learned it more cleanly.
How often when you get matches do you have these problems? Is it more prevalent or less?
Normally I only use solid sources for matches.
Realizing not all names come with that I do try to do more comparing and asking questions.
What kind of success do you have when you get offered matches on your tree?
Please respond.
Trying to determine if a class on this topic would be a good event. Thanks.

Earlier Americans on the Move
Just scanned through a report from Dick Eastman and it is sad we forget so much over the years.
I learned this so long ago I had totally forgotten it. Which brings to mind I think there is another like this out there.
Dick just did a write up about : The Confederates Who Moved to Brazil.
It is worth receiving and if doesn't apply delete but you can garner much information reading his information he shares.

Some Funny Quarantine Musings...
Thought this was cute. The last one pertains to Joe.
He has been excited on Tuesdays because he can take out the garbage…
SUBJECT: Some Funny Quarantine Musings…
Half of us are going to come out of this quarantine as amazing cooks. The other half will come out with a drinking problem...
I used to spin that toilet paper like I was on Wheel of Fortune. Now I turn it like I'm cracking a safe…
I need to practice social-distancing from the refrigerator…
Still haven't decided where to go for Easter ----- The Living Room or The Bedroom...
PSA: every few days try your jeans on just to make sure they fit. Pajamas will have you believe all is well in the kingdom...
Home-schooling is going well. 2 students suspended for fighting and 1 teacher fired for drinking on the job...
I don't think anyone expected that when we changed the clocks we'd go from Standard Time to the Twilight Zone…
This morning I saw a neighbor talking to her cat. It was obvious she thought her cat understood her.
I came into my house, told my dog..... We laughed a lot...
Quarantine Day 5: Went to this restaurant called THE KITCHEN. You have to gather all the ingredients and make your own meal.
I have no clue how this place is still in business...
My body has absorbed so much soap and disinfectant lately that when I pee it cleans the toilet...
Day 5 of Homeschooling: One of these little monsters called in a bomb threat...
I'm so excited --- it's time to take out the garbage. What should I wear?..
Our cousin shared this... ENJOY. Thanks LLoyd R.

Photograph's and UnNamed People by Susi Jones Pentico
Photograph's and UnNamed People by Susi Jones Pentico
Ok, It seems it has been awhile since commenting on these situations.
1. Inheriting unnamed pictures.
2. Partially named places and faces.
3. Reunions you are not able to attend.
There is no better place than Facebook to work on these challenges.
We did not have this available when I first started hunting answers.
1. Take each photo not named, make a copy, black and white on printer. (did not use photo paper)
2. Put the pictures in groups as they may lay in the album, if in albums.
2a. You may want to include named pictures if they are next to unnamed for references to a
family. Especially groupings: Jones, Sweet, Henderson, Hoffman, Plants, Ritchie.
2b. group as in Hoffman m Duvall, Hoffman/Huffman m Plants, Duvall m Ritchie, etc
3. Number them to reflect back to the album.
4. Send these black and white copies out to any and all family members you are aware of.
4a. If they want a photo then you can scan and send them one via internet or mail.
4b. Sometimes pictures can be more clear than on paper but start with least cost.
5. Especially if you hear of a Reunion that your surnames may be a part of. (No Matter where
it may be held.)
6. I sent 10 pages to Iowa, got 6 back fully named and the others partially named.
Alas, I needed one which remained unnamed. Grandpa called her his GGG?Grandma
last time in the Album. He couldn't remember how far back or her name.
When I was smaller he named all these people but Mom did not want to write in this
Album and we sure wished we had. I was 18 last time we all went through that album and
Mom wrote down every name he could remember. We lost him a few years later.
Repeated in Greene Co. PA and only got three more names. I have since blogged about
the lady for the world to see. Alas right person not seen her yet.
I studied about photography. Originally 4 shots were taken to make it profitable.
So if you have one somewhere there may be 3 more. In older times, families shared
doing photos. They moved it up to more photos as it became more popular. Very
interesting to learn about it. ( I am also an Eastman Descendant).
Recalling sets of 4, then 6 then 8 to 12. But check this out I remember over time the amount
increased so someone out there may have another. I thought this was awesome to learn. Had to
do with paper design and cost.
You can also compare family traits in pictures so you have idea what line they may belong to.
High cheek bones, slanted eyes, ears protruding, small mouths, recessed chin, cow licks,
toes webbed or partial, high arch, no arch, wide feet, narrow heels, the list goes on.
We have what Dad called Funky Fingers and Toes. Little fingers tend to curve over next finger
and second toe longer than big toe and partially webbed up to next toe. Even our last great
grandchild exhibited these signs. I found many lines by tracking that until DNA came out
and agreed with my observation, thanks to Dad be alert.
Can you see family traits in the photos.
Example: In the photo we so badly wanted identified, the lady has very long arms, like my
Mom. Her hands were almost to her knees. This is not a normal trait. Yes we know this lady
came from SW PA, VA/WVA, MD.
Or it may have come from Elizabeth HIGGIN's side, which is WVA, VA, NY, MASS, England.
This line also has Pocahontas in the lineage.
We do not believe it comes from the SCOTT family from Virginia to KY to Iowa. Though recent
upgrade of Grandma's dna said she had 10% Indian. She did not know that I am sure.
There were no Scott pictures in the album to our knowledge either.
So put your surnames and tree information together with the unnamed photos and pass them
around to same surname groups, distant family members, Xmas time, Easter time (since we all
have more time now).
Or make a page on Facebook of the unlabeled faces and places or join one that is already here.
Get the word out that you have these pages for others to see. Best of Luck.

A Brick Wall Breaking Place to Ask for Help

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 Yorkby Mark BoonshoftSeptember 19, 2016
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
