In the summer of 1995 my family traveled to Brazil to visit family. I was 14 years old and had never met most of them. I clearly remember meeting my Great-Grandfather Joaquim. He was an hilarious, albeit crotchety, old man.<br />
<br />
Since I've had such trouble with the search for my Grandmother Lindalva's birth record I stepped back and thought maybe she might not have been born in Joao Pessoa after all. Her father, Joaquim, was born in Alagoa Grande, about 100 km east of Joao Pessoa. So, on a lark, I decided to look through Alagoa Grande's parish records to see if I could find Joaquim's birth/christening record.<br />
<br />
<b><u><span style="color: #351c75;">Here's what I knew* before I started:</span></u></b><br />
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">* by knew I mean that my father had collected these dates/places from speaking with family members many years ago...but there are very few documents (yet) to support these claims.</span></i><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Joaquim Pedro da Silva</b><br />
b. 9 Jun 1910, Alagoa Grande, Paraiba, Brazil<br />
m. 15 Sep 1948, Joao Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil<br />
d. 24 Dec 2001, Joao Pessoa, Paraiba, Brazil<br />
<i>Note: his marriage date is 14 years after his oldest child, my grandmother, was born. That date comes from a copy of his civil marriage certificate. Perhaps they were married in the Catholic church on another date but didn't register the marriage with the government? As always, more research is needed.</i></blockquote>
So, I went off in search of his christening record, and here's what I found:<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
SERIOUSLY!!!???!!! Come on now! Not only is the page torn away but the microfilm-er didn't move over the small stub of the previous page which covered some of what was left. I even tried using the next page (back side of this one) and darkening the bit you could see through the page to see if I could read it. Nope.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I believe entry number 252 to be his. Here's what I've worked out:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kE4o4j4X-cI/UT4SA4g5QGI/AAAAAAAAH28/LUaFJPqAqC8/s1600/Silva_Joaquim_Pedro_da_b1910_19100600_ChristeningRecord_01_T_c.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="446" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kE4o4j4X-cI/UT4SA4g5QGI/AAAAAAAAH28/LUaFJPqAqC8/s640/Silva_Joaquim_Pedro_da_b1910_19100600_ChristeningRecord_01_T_c.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
By looking at a previous entry (from the top of the page) I decided that this particular scribe had a "template" for all his entries. (I double checked that this was the same throughout the previous and subsequent pages.)<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Template: </b>Date of baptism, "I baptized in the font of this Parish", Name of child, age of child in days, parent(s) names, godparents names, testify of truthfulness and signature.</blockquote>
So what did I learn from this record?<br />
<ul>
<li>A child named Joaquim was baptized on or around 9 June 1910</li>
<li>The child was perhaps 23 days old or even 23 hours old?</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b><u><i><span style="color: #cc0000;">That's it!</span></i></u></b></div>
Researching in Brazil is hard!

Anderson (Sr.) Household - US 1880 CensusI've decided to focus my energy on the Anderson side of the family...Troy's paternal grandmothers family. So, I'm starting with a timeline and filling in the documents I would expect to find for the family. Birth, Marriage, Death records and Censuses. There are other "side" documents too, but I won't know what I should look for until I have a base of "events" to work around.<br />
<br />
Here's how this family relates to Troy:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qw3HZm-8KHk/URFYP99aNbI/AAAAAAAAH1A/tg09oNnVM9U/s1600/2013-2-5-troytree.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="370" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qw3HZm-8KHk/URFYP99aNbI/AAAAAAAAH1A/tg09oNnVM9U/s640/2013-2-5-troytree.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
This first census is actually Troy's great-great Grandfather and his young wife and child in 1880. This was taken 4 months before Troy's great-grandfather was born, so Thirza (or Thersea) would have been pregnant at this point.<br />

<br />
<ul>
<li>She told my mother (her daughter) and thoughout her life celebrated on 7 Oct stating the birth year was 1934 and that she was married at 16 years old.</li>
<li>She was married on 30 Sep 1950 and I have her marriage record. The priest lists her age as 17 years old, which would mean her birthdate was between 30 Sep 1932 - 30 Sep 1933.</li>
<li>Her Death Certificate from 6 Jun 1999 states her age at death as 64 which places her birthday from 7 Jun 1937 - 7 Jun 1938. This would, however, make her 12-13 years old when she married, which I find very unlikely. I don't know who the informant on the death certificate is and what his relation is to Lindalva. He may not have known her age accurately.</li>
</ul>
<div>
I'll be honest. This has been very distressing to my mother who I think feels that I am calling her mother a liar. I just want to find her birth/christening record. But I don't know where to look. So I made a chart.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1NAlhG7Gqwo/UQloPhIP51I/AAAAAAAAHzY/WPCC2WF2NlM/s1600/2013-1-30-lindalva_bday_chart.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="229" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-1NAlhG7Gqwo/UQloPhIP51I/AAAAAAAAHzY/WPCC2WF2NlM/s640/2013-1-30-lindalva_bday_chart.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div>
There are 3 parishes and 1 archdiocese in the city of Joao Pesso, Pariba, Brazil. She was married in Nossa Senhora do Rosario, and I have that marriage record. As you can see from the chart, I have yet to find her and all I have left to search are the 1937-38 years (which would make her too young to marry). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm not sure where to go from here. I think I will:</div>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Complete my search of the 1937-38 records for all the parishes.</li>
<li>Ask my brother, or another set of eyes, to search all the same records. Maybe I just missed her? There is no index. :(</li>
<li>There are no civil records digitized or on microfilm for births after 1931.</li>
<li>Maybe an aunt could go to the registrars office in Joao Pessoa and find a birth certificate. Or maybe they already have a copy?</li>
</ol>
<div>
All I want is a document as source of her birth! Is that too much to ask?</div>
</div>

I've decided that for me, I can do 500 words a day, which will come out to 14,000 words all together...not to shabby!<br />
<br />
Now, I just have to decide on the topic. This is where I get hung up. Do I want to write about someone or a family that I've already researched, or do I want to start with a new problem? Do I want to stick to one topic or just write about anything I happen to be researching that day?<br />
<br />
Here are some ideas:<br />
<ul>
<li>Just do blog posts every day with at least 500 words, with any topic that strikes my fancy.</li>
<li>Marrying the Lunds ::: examining the women that married into the Lund line.</li>
<li>Lindalva Ferreira da Silva (Lima) ::: My grandmother who's birthdate is still in question.</li>
<li>Anna Thome and Jose Ferreira's Love story ::: Met in Portugal, parents refused to let them marry, Anna followed Jose to Brazil to marry him.</li>
<li>Ada Rose Taylor ::: Not sure why (probably that she died in childbirth from the same trouble I had with #2) but I have been drawn to her life and story.</li>
</ul>
<div>
So, I will have to make that decision SOON!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

I'm slowly making may way through the pile of obituaries from Aunt Jeanine's house. I'm scanning them in, along with the funeral program if she had it, and then transcribing everything. These obituaries should be a great help in<a href="http://lundology.blogspot.com/2012/03/lund-family-descendancy-research.html"> finding all the descendants of Didrick Funk and Karen Hansdatter Lund</a>.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
My brother-in-law is getting into genealogy. He chose a line of the family I haven't done any research on and got really excited to see the the work that was "already done." His excitement quickly turned into annoyance when he discovered that none of what he found in online trees was sourced and that he had wasted a lot of time adding three generations to his tree that may not even be related! As I talked with him during our Thanksgiving get-together, I tried to emphasize the one big thing to remember:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>If it doesn't have a source, it's not true (yet).</b></span></i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Yes, the topic of sources is a big one and the nuances of each source type and its veracity in relation to any particular event or fact could be, and has been, discussed in depth. However, put very simply: I may suspect something, and possibly use family "knowledge" to help guide my search but until I have proof, it's not true. It's a frustrating lesson to learn but a very important one.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
At the party we were unable to find her death certificate online at the Utah State Archives...I was hoping to show him what kind of information he could get from that kind of record. Later, at home, I did find it:</div>

I have also attached Mary Ann Waller (Mills) (Hatton)'s death certificate. She did remarry, which is why we didn't find her death certificate the other day. I have not yet updated my database. This is the information I currently have for her:</div>

Here's the interesting thing about her death certificate - It has slightly different dates and names for her parents. </div>

I don't know for sure that this is our Mary Ann but I believe that it is. </div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
From here we could try to find her in a census record living with Richard Hatton. Since William Mills (her first husband) died in 1887 she may be in the census with Richard as early as 1890 (which was destroyed), but also in 1900, 1910, or 1920. If some of her other known children (which we don't know yet but will have to find) are also living with her, that would be evidence that this Mary Ann is our Mary Ann. </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
To find her other children, we can try to find her in censuses with her first husband, William Mills. I'm not sure when they immigrated to the US but we could start with 1860, then go on to 1870 and 1880.</div>

I feel like I have so many options and people to research that I just don't know where to focus next. So, I'm deciding to not focus on any one person and instead focus on ... everyone!<br />
<br />
Yes, I will be cleaning out my entire database. In preparation for "The Great Genealogy Clean-up" I've read various posts that have been helpful.<br />
<ul>
<li>James Tanner of Genealogy's Star posted <a href="http://genealogysstar.blogspot.com/2011/11/clean-up-your-genealogical-database.html">Clean up your Genealogy Database</a> where he talked about looking at place names to make sure there aren't duplicates. I will definitely be doing this, but probably towards the end of the process since I think the method I've come up with will solve most of the issues.</li>
<li>Tina Lyons of Gen Wish List has a whole series of posts dedicated to <a href="http://genwishlist.blogspot.com/2011/12/cleaning-up-my-genealogy-database.html">Cleaning up My Genealogy Database</a>. I started using her system, and even printed out 60 pages of names! But after about 10 minutes, I knew this wasn't the method for me. Her process, however, was informative.</li>
</ul>
<div>
So, I made a plan that I think will work for me. My process is more focused on "creation" rather than "deletion." Just as a reference, as of today here's what I'm starting with:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lGDDkTQn5G4/UEjU3opM2aI/AAAAAAAAHoU/7AHMmwska2k/s1600/2012-09-06-data.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lGDDkTQn5G4/UEjU3opM2aI/AAAAAAAAHoU/7AHMmwska2k/s1600/2012-09-06-data.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<b><u><span style="color: #351c75;">The Plan:</span></u></b><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li><span style="color: #351c75;">Create a new database that is blank. To this database I will add people one at a time and work on updating them before moving on to the next person. RootsMagic makes this so easy because I can just drag and drop people into the new database.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #351c75;">Only people who currently have sources associated with them or with a fact will move to the new database. If I can quickly find something to support the fact/person I will do so. Otherwise, they get left behind.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #351c75;">To be "complete" and included in the new database all of the following must be true: A. Each fact associated with the person must have a source; B. Each source must have a complete citation, including a image of the source and transcription/translation; C. Relevant notes must be included with each citation or fact, as needed.</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #351c75;">Additionally, I will also be updating all file/folder names as I go along and scanning/filing all originals following my "Family History Filing System" (a 4 page description of my system which I've included with my physical files). I have so many original photos and documents still to scan...I know those will flesh out a lot of the facts that are missing citations.</span></li>
</ol>
I am starting as any new genealogist should, with myself. I'll me, my husband and kids then move on to our parents and siblings working my way back.<br />
<br />
I'm expecting when I'm done to have far fewer people in my database, but only "real" and verified information will be recorded. I will of course keep my "old" database as a guide when I continue research. Just because great-great-grandma's birth date is not verified (yet) doesn't mean I can't use the "alleged" date as a starting point in my research. As Reagan would say, "Trust, but verified!"Julliana Lundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06641293054377928749noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893049363422272120.post-57098671975957257092012-09-05T11:09:00.000-06:002012-09-05T11:09:00.213-06:00(not so) Wordless Wednesday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Again, more from Aunt Jeanine's documents. It seems like there should be a lot of documentation/sources for the information in this narrative. I will definitely have to follow up on these leads.</div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">John Ammon Taylor was born in Georgetown, Texas, Febr.
18, 1846, a son of John and Eleanor Burkett Taylor. They with 35 other
families, had left their homes and property in Nauvoo and went to colonize in
Texas under the leadership of Lyman Wight. This group and other families had
been called by Joseph Smith Jr. to make a settlement in Texas a few weeks
before his death and were making preparations to do so when he was killed by
the mob. All the colonists that went to Texas belonged to the “Josephites.”
(Which later became the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">John and Eleanor later decided to go to Utah and in 1852
they moved to Oklahoma Territory where they stayed 2 years getting ready to
join their family, who by this time were at Bingham’s Fort near Ogden. (This
was in the area now known as Five Points.) They started their journey June 12,
1854 and arrived at Bingham’s Fort August 15, 1854. Another family started out
with them but had better horses, no oxen, and didn’t want to travel as slow as
the train so pulled ahead. Several days later the train found the wagons where
they had been attacked by Indians and all killed except 2 boys who were riding
their horses ahead and upon hearing the Indians hid in the brush and watched
their family massacred. John Taylor’s party consisted of the parents, 10
children, 12 yoke of oxen and 1 horse. They had one bad accident when the baby
was run over b a wagon but through faith and prayers he was healed. They
moulded [sic] his head back in shape and took turns holding it with their
hands.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Grandfather was 8 years old at the time of this journey
and in later years when he and his brothers and sisters visited together they
would take of the amusing happenings on this trip, perhaps not so funny at the
time but remembers so afterward. All the family had a great sense of humor
which helped them through many trying times, and he especially liked to tease
and play harmless jokes on others. As he was the 6<sup>th</sup> child in a
family of 12 he found plenty of outlet for this.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The family settled in Weber County and there he spent the
rest of his life with the exception of a few years in Montana. He led the usual
hard life the times with scant schooling but like most parents had the desire
to see his children educated and out of a family of 9 boys and 1 girl he had 4
sons who attended Utah State Agriculture College and 1 son graduate of Harvard
University of Engineering.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">During his early manhood he made several trips to the
Missouri River after immigrants, and on the last trip in 1868 he drove a team
during the day and took turns in the night-hearding or watering camp at night.
On these trips the guides and immigrants indulged in wrestling, singing,
jumping etc. for amusement and he was the best wrester in his Company. When
they would meet another Company they always stopped and had wrestling matches
and other diversions. He often told of one of these matches when an opponent, a
Wm. Gibson, after being thrown by Grandfather broke the hold and caught the leg
of his overalls ripping it to the top. This made Grandfather angry as he had on
a new pair and they couldn’t be had often in those days, so he said “I’m going
to throw you had now.” which he proceeded
to try and do, finally succeeding but he also broke Gibsons arm. This made him
as remorseful as he had been angry before and he insisted on paying the
Doctor’s charge, although Mr Gibson didn’t hold him to blame for anything. On
this trip back from the Missouri he bought one of the first cook stoves ever to
come into that part of Utah (Ogden Valley) as he was contemplating marriage to
Mary Hannah Poulson (Maren Johanne Ottoson).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In his early boyhood his father John Taylor got the
goldfever [sic] and wanted to go to California so 6 younger children of the
family and the parents made preparations to go but while camped at the mouth of
Ogden Canyon waiting for the rest of the company they had a bad Indian scare
and abandoned this plan and the next year set out with ox team and went up
through northern Utah across Idaho and finally ended at Alder Gulch, Montana,
where one of the richest goldfields then known was located. During their stay
here the Indian Wars broke out, Grandfather and his brother William went to
fight the Nez Perce. It seems there must not have been any age regulation about
joining the Army – just the ability to load/fire a musket as they were in their
teens. They never rejoined their parents who stayed in Montana several more
years. On coming back to Utah Grandfather spent one summer in East Mill Creek
working for Amos Neff, but one was enough when he had settled for his summers
work he had a small amount of script on the Tithing Office and about 30 pounds
of homemade soap. He packed the soap and walked to Weber County, about 50
miles. It was after this experience he made the trips back to the Missouri
River and between trips worked for Bishop Ballantine of Eden, Ogden Valley. His
parents were still in Montana, and his brothers that were married had been sent
by Brigham Young to help colonize different parts of the Territory; one to
Ashley Valley (Vernal), one to Franklin, Idaho and another was freighting from
Utah to Montana.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">While working for Bishop Ballantine he met Maren Johanne
(Hannah) Poulson in 1868 in the Salt Lake Endowment Hiuse [sic] after his last
trip to bring in immigrants. They lived in Eden a little over a year, where
John Henry was born, their eldest son.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The people of Ogden Valley had to travel through Ogden
Canyon to Ogden City for supplies and Grandmother very often made the trip
behind a yoke of oxen and told us many times it was not uncommon for them to
have to stop and build a road or bridge over the river where it had washed out.
IT would take them all day to make the trip[.] She was very proud of the cook
stove Grandfather had brought her and often baked bread and other delicacies
for the neighbors, especially when there was a wedding supper or a party. She
used this same stove until 1895.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Grandfather often told how hard it was to get money or at
least to keep it and it was a common thing to go to a dance with a girl on one
arm and a pumpkin or such in the other to pay the dance ticket. One incident
where his love of jokes to to light again happened whenhe [sic] was floor
manager and door deeper of the Poplar dance hall. One young man named Summers
for several weeks had brought a $5.00 gold piece to pay his ticket and always
came early before enough money was taken to make change. This night Grandfather
was prepared for him, securing the change after much trouble in dimes, nickles [sic] and some pennies. When the gold piece
was offered he proceeded to count out the pennies nickles [sic] etc. Summers
immediately dug into his pocket and brought out the quarter to pay the ticket,
but nothing doing, he had to weigh his pocket down with coppers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After being married and living in Eden Grandfather moved
his family to Plain City (the area known locally as Poplar) and began dealing
in real estate. In 1899 he bought his fathers old homestead of 350 acres of the
best irrigated land to be found in Weber County. Late in the 1880’s he and the
older boys established a ranch in Bingham Co., Idaho buying part and
homesteading part. The range was open and their cattle and horses ranged from
Culew valley to Promontory, thus began the Bar JA brand one of the oldest and
best known brands in Northern Utah and Southern Idaho. (Bingham County was
later divided and the ranch was in Oneida Co. with Malad as the County seat.)
This began as a cattle ranch with herds being driven out from Plain City and
surrounding town to summer range and back in fall with horses being left at all
times. After the Cattle war<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">with the Union Pacific R.R. and the subsequent closing of
the waterholes on the range a large part of the ranch and all the cattle were
disposed of and activity was given solely to the raising of horses for which
the “Taylor Boys” became famous in this part of the country. They sold horses
to the British Government for the Boer War in the 1890’s and also to the United
States for the Spanish-American War and World War I. During later years they
broke and sold horses for polo players.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As the sons grew older and married, Grandfather turned
the active management of the farm and ranch over to them and devoted most of
his time to civic affairs, helping establish the Plain City Irrigation Company,
Plain City Canning Company, Harrisville Creamery Company, and the Utah Idaho
R.R. in getting service to Plain City. He was a member of the District School
Board for 20 years. He was also a member of the Black Hawk Veterans Association
until his death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Although being a stockholder in these companies took up
most of his time, he always had time for visits with his brothers, sisters and
friends and would arrange big family parties on the slightest excuse. He was a
devoted husband and father and although not especially active in church affairs
he instilled the L.D.S. religion into his children and sent two sons on missions,
one to Australia and the other to the Central States.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the family, John H., William, George Francis, Charles Ezra (my father), Hyrum
Alber, Ether Green, Parley Paul, Elmer A., and Lester Grant – nine sons and one
daughter, Eliza Hannah. Grant died as a small child. With the exception of
George F. his sons and daughter married and also reared their families in Plain
City. On February 7, 1916, Grandmother died. Grandfather later married Martha Ferrin
and moved to Ogden where he died after a two week illness on February 19, 1921,
the day after his 75<sup>th</sup> birthday. He was survived by his eight sons
and one daughter, 58 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. He left his descendants
a great heritage: of family love; to live a full useful life and be stalwart
men and women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Here's the personal history of Joseph Taylor found in the documents from Aunt Jeanine. Joseph is Troy's 5th-great grandfather: <i>Troy > Brent > Eugene Victor Lund > Edith Pearl Taylor > Ada Rose Taylor > Joseph Taylor.</i><br />
<br />
Having studied both History and English and the process/product of scholarly writing, I can't help but wonder at this narrative. I wish there were sources cited and less of the authors own bias. But, I guess this is a product of its time and the rose-colored look back at history, where things are very black and white. I just have to be sure to be careful in my own writing. I will also have to go back and verify everything stated in this narrative.<br />

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">JOSEPH TAYLOR<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Joseph Taylor,
third son and eighth child of William Taylor and Elizabeth Patrick Taylor, was
born 4 June 1825 at Bowling Green, Warren, Kentucky. He moved with his parents
to Missouri and went through the trying times of the early church history. In
Nauvoo he met Mary Moore and married her 24 March 1844. They went through the
Nauvoo Temple 24 Jan 1846. At the same time his mother, brothers Allen and
Green also went. He served as one of the body guards to the Prophet Joseph
Smith.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Under the
leadership of Brigham Young, he and his family and his mother and some of her
children crossed the Mississippi River on the ice 8 February 1846. They reached
Council Bluffs in June and had planned to go on to Utah, but the calling for
the Mormon Battalion upset all his plans and he was marching away without
bidding his wife good-bye, leaving her in a campwagon and in a delicate
condition. He suffered the terrible persecutions and starvation that this body
of men had to endure. History treats it lightly in comparison to what it really
was. When the men became sick, the government doctor would give them medicine
to make them worse. If they had diarrhea, the doctor would give them medicine
to make them worse or to increase the cramps. Because of this the men would
stay on duty as long as possible before admitting that they were ill. They were
so near starvation that they would eat the decaying meat of dead sheep, even picking
out the eyes and eating them. One time they had one this sheep for a group of
starving men. One man was left to keep guard and cook the meat while the others
rested. The sheep was so this the firelight shone through. This man was so
hungry he ate all of the sheep while he was cooking it. All the rest of his
life he would never eat mutton.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Joseph
returned to his family in 1847 but his cattle and belongings were so scatted
that he couldn’t leave until the last of May 1850. In the company of fifty
wagons where James Lake was captain, Joseph was lieutenant. He had his wife and
children: Clarissa, Mary Melvina, Joseph Allen, and William Andrew. The latter
was two weeks old when they began the journey. Joseph baptized Sarah Jane
Marler in the Platte River on the way to Utah. They suffered the hardships,
privations and horrors of the Indians but were always faithful. They came by
way of Parley’s canyon and arrived in Salt Lake valley 5 September 1850. They
settled in Salt Lake for a time, then moved to Kaysville. He had a farm and was
building a log cabin when his wife took ill and died at childbirth 4 April
1852. He made her coffin out of his wagonbox, and placed her and the tiny baby
in the coffin took her to Salt Lake for burial. She was one of the first to be
buried in the Salt Lake Cemetary.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Soon after he
married Jane Lake Ordway. After they lived in Kaysville for a time, she
persuaded him to move to Ogden so that she could be near her parents, se he
moved and settled in West Harrisville, now Farr West. He settled where Eliza
Taylor now lives. Very few people lived here. He and two others built a small
irrigation ditch to their farms. Tey [sic] made a proposition that if people
would work onand [sic] enlarge this canal they could have water at four dollars
an acre, where it had cost them therty-two [sic] dollars. People flocked here
because of such good terms. He was water master for years. A branch of the
church was organized with Daniel Rawson as head, and Joseph Taylor and Green
Taylor as his two counsellors [sic].<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">During the
Echo Canyon War, when Johnston’s Army came to Utah, Joseph Taylor was appointed
Major and sent out with forty or fifty men to the Oregon road near the bend of
Bear River to help delay the progress of Government troops and trains. The instructions
given him were “Burn the whole country before them and on their flanks, keep
them from sleeping, by night surprises, blockade the roads by falling trees and
destroying river fords, take no life, but destroy their trains, and stampede
and drive away their animals at every opportunity”. After he had passed fort
Bridger he left his men and returned to that place on important business. He
came upon a body of United States troops unexpectedly and he and his assistant,
William Stowell, were surrounded and taken prisoners. The soldiers tried to
poison them by putting poison in their soup after starving them. Joseph told
his friend not to eat the soup because it was poison. Mr. Stowell just tasted
his soup and then they buried it, yet he became deathly sick. Then the soldiers
tried to smoke them to death in a tent. Joseph told his assistant to dig a hole
in the ground with his hands, put his face in the hole, hold his hand around
the hole and breath in it. By so doing they lived. One day Joseph said to his
companion, “I’m leaving here tonight”.”You’ll be killed if you try it”, his
companion replied. The officers had been given instructions to fire and kill
the men if they tried to get away. In spite of this, that night Joseph kept
asking the soldiers to build the fire higher because he was cold. He took off
his shois [sic], supposedly to warm his feet. The sentinels kept up their duty
of coming together, giving the password, and facing around to go back to meet
the next sentinel, then coming back, which they did every few minutes. He
waited until the sentinels turned to go back, their backs being toward him,
then he bolted from the fireside and out into the midst of the cattle and
horses. This caused a great commotion and started a stampede. His guards fired
and searched but they couldn’t find him. He ran for miles without stoppingthen
[sic] he slowed down some. A day or two later he found an overcoat and in the
pockets of which were some clean, dry socks. He made good use of these,
especially the socks, since he had left his shoes behind and it was winter.**
The next day he saw two men coming toward him on horseback. At first he thought
it was the men hunting him but soon saw that it wasn’t. They were hunting the
overcoat. They gave it to him and ride back besides. William Stowell was
released at the close of the war.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Joseph Taylor
was stern, strong charactered man. He married two other wives, Maria Harris and
Caroline Madsen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">About 1859 he
took a herd of cattle to care for on shares. They milked about fourty head in
summer and took them down to Salt Creek in winter. The winter that Joseph Allen
was eleven and Andrew was nine, they stayed with the cattle, living in a dugout
and their only clothes being straw hats, shoes and canvas suits. One night some
Indians came into the dugout, motioned for the boys to go to bed, that they
wouldn’t harm them, and they ate all of the boy’s food. Of course the boys
didn’t sleep. Next morning Joseph Allen send Andrew home to tell his father
what had happened while he stayed with the cattle. Andrew walked the twelve or
fifteen miles through the snow, arriving hole late in the afternoon. His
step-mother had no food ready so he had to wait until the next day before his
father could take fresh provisions to his brother.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He was father
to the following twenty- 4 children: Clarissa, Mary Melvina, Joseph Allen,
William Andrew, Moroni, Esther, Emma Jane, Lydia Anne, James bailey, Janette,
Julette, Mary Ellen, Elizabeth, Philomela, Amanda, Lamone, James, Heber, Hyrum,
Ada, Evelyn, Frank, Joseph Jr. and Esther.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">He lived to a
ripe old age, doing good all his days. He was a Patriarch. He died at Farr
West, Utah 9 August 1900 after a three week illness. His funeral was held in
Farr West with a large attendance. Five Mormon Battalion members were present,
all of whom spoke. They were: John Thompson, James Owen, Lorin Clark, Alexander
Brown and Jess Brown. Bishop James Martin presided and he and George Middleton,
William Fife and Thomas Doxey all spoke of long acquaintance with him and of
his faithfulness in forwarding the Lord’s work. He had always been willing to
defend his people, even to laying down his life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">** some say
that he took his shoes with him when he ran away from the soldiers in
Johnston’s Army.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
<span style="color: #351c75; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Some of this

Some of the pictures in the Taylor pile were Post Cards. These are pretty neat and while most of them were blank on the back, I thought it was a fun idea. I wonder what the process was to get them printed on post cards. I may have to look into that a bit more.</div>

<b>George Francis Taylor</b><br />
b. 24 Apr 1875, Plain City, Weber, Utah, United States<br />
d. 16 May 1945, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, United States<br />
<br />
That's all I know! He is Grandma Pearl's uncle, brother of her father, William Taylor (1871-1942). Apparently he served an LDS mission in 1909 in Subiaco, W.A. At first I thought that was Washington State but since the postcard came "via England" that wouldn't be right. When I did a Google search I discovered it was in West Australia. That's pretty neat. There was no stamp on the card so it may have come in a packet with some other missionaries and not individually through the mail.<br />

I have such a huge pile of documents and pictures to sort through...it's kinda crazy. And wonderful!<br />
<br />
Right now I'm looking through the Taylor family pile I received from "Aunt Jeanine" who is Troy's Father's aunt. She is the youngest daughter of Victor and Pearl (Taylor) Lund and had some amazing pictures and documents to share.<br />
<br />
One document was the <i>Taylor Talk </i>newsletter for the Taylor Association from December 1977. In it was included some personal histories that were shared at the family reunion from that July. One of them was for Grandma Pearl.<br />

EDITH
PEARL TAYLOR LUND</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt;">
(Pearl is the daughter of Ada
Rose Taylor and William Taylor, who were third cousins. She is the
granddaughter of Joseph Taylor and his third wife, Hannah Mariah Harris.)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
I’m happy to
be here today and see so many of my lovely relatives. I can’t see to read, so
my daughter Ada Frazier will read what I have to say. Thank you.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
(Ada begins)
Mother is a timid little person, so she absolutely refused to say anything, so
I have tried to sketch out a few of her life’s happenings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
Edith Pearl
Taylor Lund was born June 28, 1891 in Poplar, Plain City, Utah. As you know,
for many years Poplar was a little branch of Plain City about two miles east of
the main town. She was the eldest daughter of William and Ada Rose Taylor. Her
mother, Ada Rose, being the eighth child of nine of Hannah Mariah Harris, the
third wife of Joseph Taylor. Her mother died at the age of 37 in childbirth.
Both she and the child died the same day. She was the mother of nine children,
also, Mother being the oldest. Many of you know her brothers and sisters:
Leslie—he was from Idaho Falls—he died three years ago; Manila Hancock, who
passed away 5 or 6 years ago, Lila May Hinchcliff, of St. Charles, Idaho,
better known as the east side of Bear Lake; LaVern, who recently passed away;
and Earl, of Silver City, California; then she had a brother Rulon that died as
a baby. Their home at that time was the one in which Sister Olive Taylor lives
now, or better known as Uncle Elmer Taylor’s home. In fact, that was known as Taylor’s
Lane, I think, because Grandpa had seven brothers and one sister, and they all
lived on that road.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
She attended
school in Poplar in a little schoolhouse on the north side of the street across
from Augusta Nash or Fred Kenley, who was a life-long resident of Plain City.
As a girl she would have to help care for the family and wash with all the old
handwashers that I remember, too. She said many times her mother would still be
washing when they came home from school. On Saturday her mother would go to Ogden
and be gone all day to buy clothing and food or supplies for the family,
because at that time they had only horses and buggies, leaving her and the
older ones to tend the babies and do the housework. Her father was a great
lover of horses and would go out on the range or Promontory Point to round up
horses, bring them in and break them and sell them. I think all of the Taylors
on that side were horse lovers, as was my dad. My Dad always had plenty of
horses. They always told the story that as he was out there rounding up horses,
someone rode out to help him and told him that Mother had cut her first tooth.
So he immediately saddled up his horse and rode home to see it. This was always
told to us by Brother Clark Streeter from Plain City, a neighbor.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
She played the
organ in Primary as a young child. Later they took down the schoolhouse in
Poplar and sent the children down to the Plain City School. She graduated from
the 8<sup>th</sup> grade in 1907. They held the graduation in the old
tabernacle.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
In August 1909
her father rented that house and bought a home down in Plain City. Many
remember this house on the south side of the street across from the Plain City
Cemetery, where Brother William Heslop’s family lived in later years. I see his
children here today. They moved there in August, and in September her mother
gave birth to this ninth child. Both mother and child died. This left Mother to
take care of the family and keep house for seven children and Grandpa. She was
eighteen years old at this time. She was dating my father, Victor Lund then,
but she stayed home for two more years with the older ones until they were able
to go out to work. She and Dad were married January 18, 1911 in the Salt Lake
Temple. But they lived on with Grandpa another two years to help take care of
the small children. Then they got a house of their own. Her brother LaVern came
to live with her when he was eight years old, and Earl went to live with Aunt
Nell in West Weber. Aunt Lile moved to Ogden and lived with the family of
Leonard Taylor (of the Taylor Pet Shop), and the others gradually got married.
Enough credit cannot be given to my Dad or Mother for the loving care they gave
her family. Her home was always their home. Dad was so free and unselfish, even
as hard as times were. The doors were always open, and they still are. In fact,
home is still their home.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
Mother was
always active in the church organizations. After she was married, she was
Sunday School Secretary, organist in the Primary for several years, she was
teacher in the Religion Class until they dispensed with that organization. She
and Dad were members of the ward choir for many years. She was a member of the
Relief Society Singing Mothers, and she has been a Relief Society
visiting teacher for 43 years. She also taught in the 4-H clubs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
Dad passed
away Feb. 26, 1965. This made a great loss in our home. But bless her heart, she
was able to accept it and carry on. On April 1<sup>st</sup> this year my two daughters
and my son-in-law, my sister Janeen [sic] and I took her by car to Reading, California,
to see LaVern, who was critically ill. She stood the trip so well, in fact better
than some of us. She had such a good visit with him and with Earl (he lives only
three hours’ drive away). Many of you know that LaVern passed away June 14<sup>th</sup>
of this year, and we surely sense a great loss. He was just like a big brother to
me, coming to live with us when he was eight years old.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
Mother and Dad
had four children: myself, Eugene, Verla, who died at the age of 11, and Janeen
[sic] Allen. Mother was 86 years old on June 28<sup>th</sup>. Our families, totaling
26 who were able to go, had their dinner for her at Graycliff. Only four of mine,
who live in New Jersey, were not there.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 6.0pt; text-indent: .25in;">
She is a choice
spirit. She still keeps her own home—spotlessly clean—fixes her three good meals
a day, and eats right by the clock. She’ll say she is going to do something, and
I’ll say that I’ll be right over, but she has already been up on the ladder and
washed the windows outside, washed the dishes in the cabinet. About all she leaves
for me to do is wash the walls in the kitchen, and we threaten her not to do that.
If you stop in to visit her, she still has refreshments for everyone. In fact, she
is real insulted if you don’t stop and eat a bite with her. She still walks to church
every Sunday, which is just a short Plain City block, and as always, attends all
activities. I know there has never been a death in Plain City but what she has sent
a choice frozen jello salad. She is in perfect health, although her eyes are getting
bad. But we are so proud of her and thankful that we have had such a kind, patient
person for our mother. We hope she continues as well as she is as long as life is
desired. She had four children, 12 grandchildren, and 22 great-grandchildren.</div>

Then <a href="http://www.geneamusings.com/2012/08/saturday-night-genealogy-fun-whats-your.html">Randy Seaver created the SNGF prompt</a>...perfect! Challenge Accepted!<br />
<br />
Here are his instructions:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
Your mission, should you decide to accept it (and I hope more of you do than participated in the SNGF Genealympics the last three weeks), is to:<br />1) Determine how complete your genealogy research is. For background, read Crista Cowan's post Family History All Done? What’s Your Number? For comparison purposes, keep the list to 10 generations with you as the first person. <br />2) Create a table similar to Crista's second table, and fill it in however you can (you could create an Ahnentafel (Ancestor Name) list and count the number in each generation, or use some other method). Tell us how you calculated the numbers.<br />3) Show us your table, and calculate your "Ancestral Name Number" - what is your percentage of known names to possible names (1,023 for 10 generations).<br />4) For extra credit (or more SNGF), do more generations and add them to your chart.<br />5) Post your table, and your "Ancestral Name Number," on your own blog, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook Status or Google+ Stream post.</blockquote>
Here's what I did.<br />
<br />
1) I created a narrative report in RootsMagic for 10 generations. I did this for myself, Troy, and our sons.<br />
<br />
2) And here are our charts.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
3) Our Ancestral Numbers for 10 generations are:<br />
Julliana - 3%<br />
Troy - 24%<br />
Ben&James - 24%<br />
<br />
Wow, it's looking bad. My family is so hard to research...since they are all in Brazil or Portugal. Plus, Troy's side of the family are all pioneers with a long line of genealogists who have done lots of work. My father is the only one to have done any work on my side, and now I'm taking over.<br />
<br />
Everything I know for my side of the family is what my grandparents could remember and tell my dad. He had a few death certificates and birth records, but that's it. I'm now going through trying to find documentation for everything and even just my grandmother's information is hard to find. Also, the tradition is that one of my mom's grandmothers was a native Brazilian...who knows how far back I'll even be able to go?!?<br />
<br />
At least now I can see that I have a lot of work to do (knew that before) and that I can quantify any progress I make.<br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pn4lIpvPCS4/UCO6WVWygjI/AAAAAAAAHjM/XgrgalDCssw/s1600/family+folders.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Pn4lIpvPCS4/UCO6WVWygjI/AAAAAAAAHjM/XgrgalDCssw/s320/family+folders.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Right now I'm at the point where I have a lot of documents and files. But, I know that as I continue researching I'm only going to collect more. I had one organizational system, then read about another I liked better, then another. For now, I'm happy with my naming conventions and more recently decided not to include the "de" or "da" in my Brazilian surnames...otherwise most would be under D. (Plus, there is the problem of those two last names which are really one, such as da Silva vs. da Silva Lima.)<br />
<br />
Where the real indecision comes in is in the process. I can no longer remember every search I performed for every person, or every resource I used whether with positive or negative results. So the question I'm now faced with is - <i><b>How do I organize the process of research?</b></i><br />
<br />
Obviously, a research log is ideal. But which version? I really like having it in my database (RootsMagic) but feel like I might need more. <a href="http://www.geneamusings.com/2012/08/research-summary-joshua-smith-of.html">Randy Seaver shared his Research Summary recently </a>and I think it may work for me.<br />
<br />
Another question I keep asking myself is - <i><b>What should be the "standard" order of procedures?</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
For example, when I find a birth certificate how do I proceed. Here's what I think I may do:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Save using the standard naming convention in the appropriate folder.</li>
<li>Add entry in research log. (This step will have to happen even if I don't find anything.)</li>
<li>Transcribe/translate and save that file in the same folder. (Should I set up tables to make it look just like the original or just list all the information.)</li>
<li>Create a source citation for the document using RootsMagic and add to both the word document and in the metadata of the image.</li>
<li>Link the image into the database and add the transcription/translation to the detail notes section.</li>
<li>Using this same citation, copy it onto all events which it supports - in the example of the birth certificate I may use it for the birth date, parents names, parents ages, place of residence, etc.</li>
<li>Create a blog post to share my discovery.</li>
</ol>
<div>
Here's the big question - <i><b>Can, or should, I "move on" with my research even though I have piles of "stuff" to scan and analyze?</b></i></div>
<div>
<i><b><br /></b></i></div>
<div>
Since I have so much stuff to go through is it better to scan it all before proceeding? I don't want to redo what I already have, but just don't know about. This is the part of the "research" that isn't my favorite...the <i>housekeeping</i>. In the end I know it will help but for now, I just don't want to deal with it.</div>Julliana Lundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06641293054377928749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893049363422272120.post-20197562223151483272012-07-19T14:06:00.000-06:002012-07-19T14:06:17.552-06:00Gertrude moves, and a revelation!My <a href="http://lundology.blogspot.com/2012/07/search-for-johan-riis.html">search for Johan RIIS (or RIHS) </a>continues!<br />
<br />
So last time, I decided to work up a client report. Instead, I ended up creating a document study and then an accompanying work plan. Here is that plan, from page 4 of my report:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nplKEmoLv10/UAhhCG4j8DI/AAAAAAAAHfo/rXAH8V7yBs8/s1600/2012-19-07-workplan.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-nplKEmoLv10/UAhhCG4j8DI/AAAAAAAAHfo/rXAH8V7yBs8/s640/2012-19-07-workplan.JPG" width="492" /></a></div>
<br />
I had already done 1-5 so, but I ended up starting with #6, and did not find what I was expecting.<br />
<br />
I figured, since Gertrude was from Knudsker and her son Didrich was born in Nylarsker that she would have moved to Nylarsker at some point - I know, brilliant. :) So, I started looking for a move-in record for her in Nylarsker before Mar 1816, when Didrich was born.<br />
<br />
If she lived there more than 9 months prior to his birth, then she would have gotten pregnant there. If she moved in while pregnant, then she would have conceived Didrich at her previous parish...and that's where Johan would have been too.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Gertrude moved from Copenhagen!!! (København)</b></span><br />
<br />
Now is a time for a pretty great aside.<br />
<br />
Last Saturday I went to the Family History Library to take some more Danish research classes. I guess I didn't read the course descriptions very well because when I got there I found out that they didn't really apply to me. The first was Southern Denmark research (which got transferred back and forth with Germany, so their records are a bit different), then Big City Research, and finally, Copenhagen research. Since I didn't really have any Big City or Copenhagen ancestors, I was just going to leave and work in the library, but decided to stay and see if I could learn anything - I did!<br />
<br />
And now I can use it!<br />
<br />
So, next I need to track Gertrude to Copenhagen, figure out what parish she was living in and see if Johan is nearby.Julliana Lundhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06641293054377928749noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893049363422272120.post-68886663593034419022012-07-15T10:15:00.000-06:002012-07-15T11:03:29.861-06:00The search for Johan RiisI've done extensive research on the Lund family from Denmark. I'm also working on the decendency research for Diderich Funk/Funch Lund, Troy's 3rd-great-grandfather. (The Lund was added after immigrating to the United States)<br />
<br />
But Diderich's father remains a mystery. Here's what I know:<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Johan Riis is listed as Diderich's father in his christening record dated 3 Apr 1816, he was born on 25 Mar 1816. Diderich is illegitimate and Johan is described as a bachelor who has traveled away.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Diderich's mother is Gertrude Christine Didrichsdatter, and her father's name is Diderich Jacobson Funch.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">By the time Diderich is confirmed in the Lutheran church on 5 Oct 1834, his father, still listed as Johan Riis (although his mother had married by now) is now listed as "deceased."</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
<br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4_xFw-W_Qv8/UALM-_TH0HI/AAAAAAAAHYA/XAHZ5gL49Qc/s1600/2012-07-15-ped-ded.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4_xFw-W_Qv8/UALM-_TH0HI/AAAAAAAAHYA/XAHZ5gL49Qc/s640/2012-07-15-ped-ded.jpg" width="476" /></a></div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.rootsmagic.com/">RootsMagic5</a> has a new feature - Research Log. I've been using it to work on this and other research I've been doing and have found it a great way to note what I've done.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4Tx5nGWg7u8/UALsHSe_XUI/AAAAAAAAHYM/NqBz7uQWFs4/s1600/2012-07-15-riis-rl.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="476" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4Tx5nGWg7u8/UALsHSe_XUI/AAAAAAAAHYM/NqBz7uQWFs4/s640/2012-07-15-riis-rl.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
So, here's the plan.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">I think before I can really find Johan, I need to first track Gertrude's family as they lived in Knudsker and then she (and possibly more of the family) moved to Arnager. I plan to work with the censuses and the church records, including the moving in and out records (I just learned about yesterday!).</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">Also, since at some point I think I'd like to get certified in genealogy, I'm going to try out a full client report and research notes for this search for Johan. I'll post more as I go along.</span></li>

<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">I love how they listed the exact time of the wedding - "ten hours and twenty five minutes".</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">The witnesses, according to my dad, are my grandmother's uncle and his wife.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">I thought it was interesting that my grandmother was listed as being born in the "Federal District" until I remembered that Rio de Janeiro was the capital of Brazil at the time. Now the capital is in Brasilia, many hundreds of miles away.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">My grandfather is listed as a machinist. He was a navy man all his life, so I guess he was a machinist for the navy. I never knew that.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">My grandmother is listed as a public worker. She was an accountant for the city of Rio de Janeiro, I remember her telling me she was the first woman to have that job. She also talked about the computers they had in the late 40s and early 50s that would take up entire rooms. Now, she's on facebook. Go figure!</span></li>
<li>They were living on the same street. The story goes that they met when grandma was 13 years old and grandpa was 19. She was just the neighbor girl. They didn't start dating until she was 18, which would have been just after my grandfather returned from serving in WWII - in which his ship was sunk (!!), or so the story goes.</li>

According to Google Maps, they lived 98 m away from each other, which would take 15 sec to drive in a car. Unfortunately, there was no street view available for this part of Rio de Janeiro.</div>

<br />
<br />
At this point, the family has moved to 2538 ½ Wall Avenue which is just across the street from the Union Station (railroad). That is interesting because the Draney's now have a lodger, one Willie Johnson who is listed as a Cook for the Railroad Diner. This is also the first time I've come across "negro" for color or race. I want to research more about Willie and find out how he ended up in Utah from Arkansas.<br />
<br />
Another item of note - Both Myrtle and George are listed as 10 years old. However, if you remember from the 1920 census, Myrtle is listed as 1 11/12 years old but there is no George listed ... so, they aren't twins. <span style="background-color: white;">In order for them to both be 10 years old they would have to have been born within 12 months of each each other. Looking closely at the age listed for Myrtle, it appears the enumerator wrote over what was there with a 10. I believe it originally said 12.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Here's my reasoning:</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">If Myrtle was 1 11/12 on 20 Jan 1920, at the time of the 1920 census, that would mean she was born between 21 Jan - 20 Feb 1918. This would make her just over 12 years old on 14 Apr 1930, at the time of the 1930 census.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">If George was 10 years old on 14 Apr 1930, at the time of the 1930 census, then he would have been born between 15 Apr 1919 and 14 Apr 1920. However, since he wasn't listed in the 1920 census, he would have to be born after 20 Jan 1920. So, he was born between 21 Jan 1920 and 14 Apr 1920.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
I will have to search for birth certificates for all these children, but am particularly interested in what they will reveal for Myrtle and George.<br />

Starting with her oldest son George Melvin Draney (b. 19 Dec 1891, d. 21 Dec 1943).<br />
<br />
George is Diderich's oldest son's (Hans Peter), oldest daughter's (Annie), oldest son. This makes him Troy's second cousin, twice removed. I love the relationship chart in <a href="http://rootsmagic.com/">Roots Magic</a>! It makes the relationships so much easier to see.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AUd6yZSXtbI/T-Yf6u9qbgI/AAAAAAAAHV8/Us2D-onVQtA/s1600/2012-6-23-geo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AUd6yZSXtbI/T-Yf6u9qbgI/AAAAAAAAHV8/Us2D-onVQtA/s640/2012-6-23-geo.JPG" width="586" /></a></div>
I'd already found George in the 1900 and 1910 Censuses living with his parents. By the 1920 census he is now 28 years old and married.<br />
<br />
He is living in Ogden, at 2868 Grant Avenue (which is now a storage place) and he and his wife Josephine have two daughters.<br />

Well...here they are.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, Lavon (who is Merratta Lavon Draney) is listed as a "daughter-in-law" but she is in fact a "step-daughter" - being Annie's daughter from her first marriage.<br />
<br />
Also interesting, Joseph is an Auto Mechanic. In 1920. I think that's pretty cool.<br />
<br />
One last note - Annie's mother is listed as being born in Denmark. Every other document I have for her lists her mother's birth place as Norway. Perhaps one of her step-children answered the questions and didn't really know.<br />

<br />
Interestingly, she reported her age (I know that she reported because she has an (x) next to her name) as 70, but the birth date I have of 19 April 1870 would make her 69 years old. She would have been just over a week shy of her 70th birthday. I wonder if she rounded up on purpose.<br />
<br />
Also, she reported her highest education as 8th grade. I wonder if the Plain City School has old records I could look at...wouldn't that be awesome?!?<br />
<br />
Finally, I'll have to look into the farm schedules for 1940 and see if they still exist.<br />
<br />
Annie lived to 1852 so she would appear in the 1950 census. I'll have to wait another 10 years to see that. Oh, and apparently I didn't find her in the 1920 census yet - I'll have to do that next.<br />

Then I decided to find their family in the 1930 US Census.<br />
<br />
Frederick was 70 years old and she was 59 years old. The son listed, Jospeh E., I believe to be from Frederick's first marriage. Annie did have a son Joseph from her first marriage, but he would have been 37 at the time of this census. This Joseph is listed as 27. Could it be an error? I couldn't find a birth record for a Joseph Wheeler using the name search on Utah State Archives. I'll have to keep digging.<br />
