Tonight’s #genealogical project involved Anna M. Camperson. Born circa 1859 in #newcastle county #delaware she grew up in the #Christiana Hundred area (hence my earlier #toot ). Around 1880, Anna married Frank Justison. They had three children: George R. (born 1882), Frank L. (born 1887), and Helen (born 1891). Sadly, Anna did not live to see her children grow up. She died in 1891 of #typhoid #fever in #chester #pennsylvania #genealogy #geneadons #Ancestry #familyhistory

Here’s a #uselessfact I just stumbled across in this evening’s #genealogical #research. 153 years ago yesterday (July 5), the 1870 #federal #census was conducted in #Christiana Hundred, #delaware. #genealogy #geneadons #Ancestry

@wigglytuffitout @sarae I frequently deal with these #Russian cursive issues in translating #Polish #genealogical records from the 1870s through the end of #worldwari. The lines occasionally placed over and under the #cursive т and ш respectively help, but are not used consistently, even in the same document. The one that always throws me, though, is the ж. I have gotten used to seeing the yat since it only shows up in a few words and I’ve learned to look for it.

Completing #genealogical research on women who have been married multiple times can be a challenge, but not for #newjersey marriages. The #gardenstate #marriage index lists #bride names under the maiden and all marriage surnames. This was very helpful to me this evening, as I learned that a woman I was researching had been married twice previously before she married the gentleman in my family tree. The discovery unlocked a whole set of records. #genealogy #familytree #strangersocial

Now here's a #genealogical and #historical #mystery. The Will of Dr Richard Turner who in 1770 left everything to Elizabeth Giles "by whom I have had many children and whom I esteem as much as any man does his lawful wife". She was a 'singlewoman', so was he already married? Divorce was impossible for most.

Wishing all customers, future customers, friends and colleagues a wonderful new year 2023 in good health and with great #genealogical discoveries.

One of my small personal results, I managed to discover the names of all the people in this picture, that used to belong to my gran. #genealogy #geneadons #research

This image is the result of two of my passions. #SoftwareDevelopment (also my job) and #genealogical research. The image is scaled down for anonymity. Although only four people are still alive

Gender colors and sibling display were requirements of my daughters. They don't want a family tree without their sister :)

My eldest paternal ancestor was a carter in the postal service, hence maybe my job in the internet business :)

"On this day in 1815, Paul Cuffe of Westport sailed for the west coast of Africa with 38 black emigrants and a cargo of goods on board his vessel. The goal was for the families to begin a new life in Sierra Leone, to bring Christianity to Africans, and to create trade between Africa and the U.S. — one that did not involve trafficking in human beings."

Good 🌄 morning!

I woke up to a good email from a cousin of mine who is happy to help me out with #genealogical information. He's even got a few stories to share.

He even confirmed details I only extrapolated based on dates, locations, and vague memories from my mother.

@Jcnewmark Ah I remember you too Good to reconnect here. I have reduced my time hashtagging to Tuesdays only. I've picked up #genealogical research which takes quite a bit of my free time.
