Cleaning up and Organizing

The Jensen family is giving me a bit of trouble, so I'm taking a break from them. I have a few records still to transcribe and I'll be sure to post them. For now, I thought It might be good to go through and organize my database and sources. I have so many files and folders that its starting to get a bit unwieldy. First, I'll go through and make sure all the files follow my new naming conventions. I'll also go though and be sure that all documents are transcribed and facts cited in the database.

In starting this process, I came across some 1900 US Census records I've collected but haven't done anything with! First up, the William G Warner Household.

Source: 1900 U.S. Census, Uinta Precinct, Weber, Utah, population schedule, Uinta Precinct, enumeration district (ED) 178, sheet 14, dwelling 224, family 224, William G Warner Household; digital images, Family Search (FamilySearch.org : downloaded 7 June 2011); FHL microfilm, 1854 reels.

Instead of transcribing items in an abstract fashion, as I have in the past, I went ahead and created a form that I just have to fill in.

So you can download the Word document for 1900 U.S. Census and fill your own information.

If you'd like to take a look at the pdf for the William G Warner Household you can download that here.

In order to make online searches easier for any family members that are researching these same lines, I'll continue to write up the "abstracts" and post them along with the images, as well as linking the pdf's. It's an extra step but well worth it, I think.

Marriage Record - João de Sousa Lima and Lindalva Ferreira da Silva

Oh, the joys of FamilySearch.org ... I'm still amazed that I can look at local parish records from around the world! In this case I was looking through the digitized (albeit not indexed) images of Catholic parish records from João Pessoa, Brazil. This one happens to be for my maternal grandparents - João and Lindalva.

Source: Family Search, "Brazil, Catholic Church Records," digital image, Family Search (familysearch.org : downloaded 14 March 2012), Joao de Sousa Lima and Lindalva Ferreira da Silva Marriage Record, 30 Sep 1950; Nossa Senhora do Rosario parish, page 35, entry 131.


Transcription:

131 - João de Sousa Lima e Lindalva Ferreira da Silva

Aos trinta dias do mês de Setembro de mil novecentos e cinqüenta, na Matriz do Rosario, perante as testemunhas justo Lacerda Ferreira e João Cabral Batista, o Revmo Frei Inocencio ofm. assistiu ao recebimento matrimonial de João de Sousa Lima e Lindalva Ferreira da Silva, o nubente con 25 anos de idade, filho legitimo de Manuel de Sousa Lima e Hosana Maria da Conceiçao, natural e batizado em Cajazeiras, a nubente con 17 anos de idade, filha legitima de Joaquim Pedro da Silva e Ernestina Ferreira da Silva, natural e batizada em João Pessoa, residentes nesta frequezia. E, para constar, mandei fazer este fermo que assino.

Translation:

On the thirtieth day of the month of September of nineteen hundred and fifty, in the Mother of the Rosary, as witnessed by Lacerda Ferreira and João Cabral Batista, the Reverand Frei Inocencio [ofm.?] performed the marriage rite of João de Sousa Lima and Lindalva Ferreira da Silva, the groom with 25 years of age, legitimate son of Manuel de Sousa Lima and Hosana Maria da Conceiçao, born and baptized in Cajazeiras, the bride with 17 years of age, legitimate daughter of Joaquim Pedro da Silva e Ernestina Ferreira da Silva, born and baptized in João Pessoa, residents in this parish. And, for the record, I had this record made, and I sign.

Interesting:
This record gives the same marriage date I have, 30 Sept 1950. However, there is a discrepancy in Lindalva's age. Based on the birth date I have of 7 Oct 1934, she would be 15 years old (about a week shy of her 16th birthday) on the date of her wedding. The marriage record states she was 17 years old, and when I asked my mother about it, she said that Lindalva was 16 years old when she got married. So, now I'm thinking I'll need to find her christening record and see if she was born in 1932 or 1933 or 1934.

Using Timelines

In my decendency research of the Lund family, I am currently focusing on Didrich and Karen's oldest daughter, Christine, and her family. I have collected a lot of documents and know a lot more now than I did before. But, I still have a few questions I need to answer before I can keep going.

• What do I know so far?
• Where are there holes in the timeline?
• Are there records available to fill in the holes?
• Where can I go from here?

I think that making a timeline will help me answer these questions. So, using my Roots Magic software, I selected Peder Jensen and his wife Christine Funk Lund and their children to create a timeline report and saved it as a word document. This document includes the citations, so I can refer to them as needed.


Below I've added my timeline so far. I've also added ideas for further research.

• Christine's LDS baptism/confirmation -- I have four different dates for Christine's baptism. I need to see if I can find her in the Bornholm Branch records. Also, I'll need to take a look at what Family Search has. It would not be surprising to find that she was baptized while alive and then had the work done for her as well.
• All the "blue" facts come from the FamilySearch Family Group Record sheet for Didrich, Christine's father.
• 1888 is the last time I have real, verified information for the Jensen family.

Where can I go from here?
Besides looking up the records listed above in purple, I have some other ideas.

1. 1890 Danish Census - Where are the Jensen's? Are they still in Denmark or have they immigrated?
2. Nylarsker Parish records - I will continue my search for future years to see if I can find death records for Peder and Christine as well as possible marriage records for their two sons.
3. I know from Jacob Peter's christening record that he immigrated to America ... perhaps I could find a passenger list for him? Or, maybe find him in a US Census.

Obviously, I'd like to find children for Laurits and Jacob. But, I need to know more! Onward!

A Surprise Discovery...

So, I had been pouring through the Nylarsker Parish church records looking for any possible children for Peder and Christine Jensen that may have been missed in the censuses. In the process, I did find a daughter, Sanna, who was born and died between censuses. So, I decided to keep going to see if I missed anything else. What I found was a surprise --

A death record for Peder and Christine's oldest child, Annine Margrithe Kristine Jensen. When I saw her name, it actually made me sad - she was so young, only 22 years old.

It was actually quite surprising to me that I had such a negative response to finding this record. I didn't feel the "yeah, I found her" feeling, but rather a "no, not yet." I think that is an interesting side effect of studying family history. These people become your people and you feel connected to them. This young woman, my Annine, died at just 22 years old from a chest disease (TB? Pneumonia?) which according to the priest's notes had her in bed for 10 months. How difficult for her parents. They had lost a young 5 year old daughter and now another daughter. But even more than looking at this through her parent's perspective, I thought of all that she missed. I had hoped she had immigrated to Utah, married, had children. All the "what might have been's" are no longer possible.

From a purely research side, there is some good to come from this record. The priest noted there was a probate certificate. (This was also the case for her sister Sanna) I will definately be looking these up next time I'm at the Family History Library.

finding Sanne Caroline Dorthea Jensen

Having found the Jensen family in the 1880 Danish Census and noting a 10 year gap between children, I thought I might look for any other children Peder and Christine may have had. I knew there were 3 options.

1. Christine had one or more miscarriages. These would most likely not be recorded in the church records as births or deaths...unless the baby was near full term and considered a stillborn. I still don't think they could christen the child but perhaps there may be a burial record.
2. There was one or more children born in that time and they may have lived for a while but died before the 1880 census. In this case I should expect to find a christening and a burial record.
3. There were no other children, and therefore no records to be found. This may however be like #1, in that there are no records.

My plan of attack was to look in death records first. Here's what I found --

So, the Jensen's did have another daughter, Sanne (Danish version of Suzanne, sometimes spelled Sanna). Interestingly, she had a probate certificate. I was able to find the catalog record at the Family History Library, so the next time I go I will be sure to look this up! According to her burial record she was 5 years old. This gives me a rough idea of when she was born, so back I went into church records - this time looking for a christening. I started right after the last child's christening and moved forward, here's what I found --

This really confused me, a page with some christening records with no baby names or christening dates. I couldn't tell what the note said at the end of the entry, so I had to get some help.

• The priest went back and marked her record "død" or "dead."
• I love that one of the witnesses, Johannes Peter Hansen, worked on a wind mill farm.

These records help explain the 10 year gap between children in the 1880 census. I did find another record of interest while digging in the church records, but you'll have to wait until tomorrow for that. :)

Christening Record - Jacob Peter Jensen

In the 1880 Danish census I found another child for Peder and Christine Jensen -  Jacob Peter Jensen. Since he was 1 year old at the time (1 Feb 1880) I went back into the church records to find his christening record.

Interesting:
His entry is pretty standard except for the short notation next to his number - "emigrated to America." I have some family histories that mention Christine immigrating to America, but only tells me that it was after her parents (who immigrated in 1870). This is the first supporting evidence.
