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.

How Many of Your Ancestors Have You Met?

BORROWING FROM RANDY SEAVER, THIS TOPIC.

ALSO ADDING A TWIST, having met much of my kin was a key thing for my Dad. He grew up with out
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.

I knew my parents: Ray Dee Jones Sr b1913 Waterloo, IA m 1938 Wheatland Wyo. and died Santa Rosa, CA 1995.

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:

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.

Sharing our youngest Great Grand Children of Family

We are a family of 5 Children and 10 Grandchildren and 3 Great Grandchildren. Posted our children above, so will work on the Great Grands & Parents, and then fill in the other Grands. This is one of two of our Grands that has children. He and his sibling are the only parents in the group. This shows Aurora and Clementine with the parents of Nicole Bruno Murillo and Stephan Murillo his Mom is Candy Pentico Jeffers. We are very blessed, with the fact both he Stephan and his brother live within driving distant to see. His brother is farther away but can be reached in an hour or close.

Joseph Murillo & Sara Duncan an Wyatt live in a community just north of us. Wyatt like Clementine is doing school from home. Both children are doing well with their programs. We are so grateful.

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.
