text: Daily Moisture Stick is rated 3.9212 out of 5 by 203. Rated 4 out of 5 by Bay98 from Awesome This product is great, I bought it to save time in the morning and it really does. I noticed that it works better when you face is wet but you can use it wet or dry. Date published: 2015-10-20 Rated 2 out of 5 by KitKatJAM119 from Product is subpar! I was curious to try this product out. I removed the plastic wrapping and once I opened the bullet the entire packaging came apart. I was unable to stick the top portion of the bullet back into the bottom portion. The clear plastic protective cap came flying off and product the product smeared all over the bullet making it impossible to put back together. I got some on my hands and then I caught a whiff of a faint fishy smell.Having sensitive sense of smell, I opted out not to apply this anywhere near my nose including my entire face. Since I'm not putting it on my face or my hands, I've been using it on my heels and the ball of my foot.Even then, the moisturizing properties is subpar. I will not be repurchasing nor can I recommend this product. The value is definitely excellent, but if it does not work spend your $6 on another e.l.f cosmetics product. Date published: 2015-10-03 Rated 5 out of 5 by Cary from Really works I love that this really does moisturize my face but it doesn't leave m skin looking oily, it's perfect! Date published: 2015-09-30 Rated 5 out of 5 by HRUl from Oh my this is great stuff Cooling under or over makeup, doesn't ruin makeup and feels unbelievably good. Nice for the patches of dryness that crop up through out the day. I just rub my finger over it and dab on. I have 2, one at home and one in my bag. I will have this on hand always. Date published: 2015-09-17 Rated 5 out of 5 by Biesiedina from I like this stuff!! Had a dry skin and my foundation always looked bad on my nose. After this little saver I don't have this problem anymore! Date published: 2015-09-08 Rated 2 out of 5 by adventuroukate from More Cons than Pros I bought this on a whim, as I certainly have enough moisturizers to go around, but thought that it looked so convenient in a rub on tube that I might be able to ditch some of my other, more messy, moisturizers. UH NO. This product smells so awful that I was literally scarred to put it on my face, it smells super funky and harsh, but alas, I am a brave soul so I rubbed on my face anyway. This formula is super thick, I couldn't even tell any product came off onto my skin. I thought it might just need to warm up or something so I continued onto my cheeks and chin where I have some dryness.. I felt like I rubbed Elmers glue on my face - not only did the smell not get any better, but it left my face feeling so tacky and I could instantly tell my pores could not breathe under the thick formula. I just had a bad experience. Trying to find someone I don't like to "gift" this to... Date published: 2015-09-07 Rated 5 out of 5 by Brenda B from MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PRODUCT!! I NEVER leave reviews because I don't ever have the time. But, this time I must!! This product is the best thing since sliced bread!! You will never regret buying this. It's the last thing I do after I have completed my makeup routine. I rub my finger over the top of it till I get a nice amount on my finger then I gently dab it under my eyes right on top of my makeup. OMG!!! It moistens up that area where I tend to get dryness from my under eye concealer and and setting powder. Just dab this right on top of your makeup and it gives you a quick pick me up and leaves a gentle moist residue, just like adding under eye cream without the mess. Remember DON'T rub it on, just dab it on, and add more if you need it. It stays put and doesn't smear the rest of you under eye makeup. You look refreshed. I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH OF WHAT A GREAT PRODUCT THIS IS!! I use it under my eyes, or on dry patches around my face, right on top of my makeup. Just the best product I have ever used in my life!!! I am back to order another to keep in my purse and a couple more that I am giving my sister and sister-in-law. Now, as for the smell that everyone is talking about. THERE IS NO SMELL!! What you are smelling when you open the cap at first is the sealer that is used on top of the product, once you wipe that off with a tissue, there is absolutely NO SMELL. Trust me, it is only a sealer that is used to protect the product, but it is gone the minute you wipe off the top of the stick. Hope this helps you decide to buy, believe me YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED, I PROMISE!! ;-) Date published: 2015-08-31 Rated 5 out of 5 by ItsMeTi from Not just for your face I actually purchased this to use on my face, but ended up using it on my heels instead. I swipe some on at night before my lotion and my heels have never been softer! Date published: 2015-08-26 Rated 5 out of 5 by MsSha from I really like this product. It does have a slight odd smell when you sniff the tube as others have mentioned (not a clue what that's about), but I use so little during application that no odor is left behind on my face or anything (I've even had my boyfriend smell me after use to be sure, hahaa). I get dry skin on my cheeks and forehead at certain times of the year, I add just a bit of this after my lotion and acne treatment but before my primer and other makeup and it works great! I also use it for touch ups during the day while I'm wearing makeup, using my finger to lightly pat the product on, and it helps so much without moving/removing my makeup. It's great under my eyes for added moisture too. Would recommend, will deff reorder (especially during sales). Date published: 2015-08-13 Rated 4 out of 5 by mello from ms.one very nice,did not mess wit my skin love it will tell all my friends about this product Date published: 2015-08-09 Rated 4 out of 5 by Geronimaniac36 from Lotion on a Stick This was a step out on a limb for me, but so far, I love it! It is pretty much just lotion on a stick. Not that I'm complaining, it's great! Waaaay less watery than I thought it was, which is definitely a good thing. :) Date published: 2015-08-05 Rated 5 out of 5 by Debi1268 from Here's how I use it... I pretty much have EVERY item from elf. I bought this product on a recent 50% sale just because I hadn't bought it yet. Haha. Anyway I found out that this stuff is great in the middle of the day when your foundation may start to cake up in dry areas or under the eyes. I smooth a little on my finger and just press it into my skin (not rub). It works great! It's definitely become a staple in my travel makeup bag. Also, since it has been mentioned in other reviews, it does have a strange smell straight IN the container but you can not smell it on your face. Believe me, I put this on dry patches around my nose and there is absolutely no smell whatsoever. Date published: 2015-07-16 Rated 2 out of 5 by Rebecca H from The Smell I bought this in my most recent purchase from ELF and it stinks! Literally, it smells like fish parts. It also doesn't absorb into my skin, it just sits on top and creates a dry but sticky feel. Date published: 2015-07-14 Rated 1 out of 5 by lorianngie from The smell is HORRIBLE Smell is HORRID. I wouldn't put this anywhere on my body, let alone my face, near my nose. Smells like the penguin exhibit at Sea World- overpowering, disgusting fish smell. Date published: 2015-06-16 Rated 5 out of 5 by Bea L from Miracle stick ELF should rename this product the "Miracle Stick" :-) Date published: 2015-06-09 Rated 5 out of 5 by Leiha from helps with my eye creepiness I bought this about 2 weeks ago and the first day it had a bad smell. Using it, the smell has went away from the stick and does not smell anymore...especially on my face. I use it mostly on top of my under eye makeup to get rid of my fine line creepiness and oh my, it does not effect my makeup or remove it. I rub my finger on the stick and dab my under eyes. My favorite Elf product so far!! Love this stuff and will repurchase. Date published: 2015-06-08 Rated 5 out of 5 by spicymiso from Love it! I bought this after hearing so much good reviews from some of YouTube's top beauty gurus. It really does greatly diminish dry patches on my cheeks, nose and under eye areas. It goes on so cool and soothing on my skin. Date published: 2015-06-07 Rated 5 out of 5 by ValerianOddity from My new favorite makeup bag moisturizer! I purchased this a few weeks ago, and it has become one of my all-time favorite products! It's moisturizing without being greasy and absorbs right into my skin, so it's perfect to use right before putting on my makeup. I will never be without this again! Date published: 2015-05-26 Rated 3 out of 5 by agoodtoe from This product is a good moisturizer. It feels like I'm applying a glue stick to my face. It also, to me, smells like fish. I probably wouldn't buy this product again unless I needed a cheap moisturizer since it still works well Date published: 2015-05-19 Rated 1 out of 5 by melodyholli from Smelly I bought this because it looked like a great product. Unfortunately, the smell of it is so strong that I can't even put it on my face (as planned). It's not just a typical herbal smell, like you would get with melaluca or tea tree oil. It's much stronger and really bad. Would love to try this product in the future if they reconfigured it to fix the smelliness. Date published: 2015-05-17 Rated 2 out of 5 by nanpants from Why does it smell like fish? I love the concept, and it does a good job at moisturizing my super sensitive skin.....BUT I can't get past the fishy smell. I don't understand what could possibly cause this? It'll need to be reformulated before I purchase it again, and I hope you'll let us know when it is! Date published: 2015-05-06 Rated 5 out of 5 by Jacki 31 from Moisturizing Love how easy it is to apply. Not greasy or sticky feel. I have sensitive and combination skin. Works great on my skin. Date published: 2015-04-25 Rated 5 out of 5 by Kalere from Love it! This moisturizing stick is amazing! I'm picky when it comes to moisturizers since I am so prone to breaking out; nothing has ever worked. This stick is so easy to apply and instantly makes my skin feel happy, and I don't have to use a lot! Also travel-friendly and cheap. Date published: 2015-04-21 Rated 5 out of 5 by prettyeyes102 from Excelent product! Does an excellent job at moisturizing my dry spots and it's easy to use. Feels cool! Date published: 2015-04-16 Rated 5 out of 5 by MommaM from This is one of my favorite ELF products!!! Love how easy it is to use. Feels amazing and moisturizing. Great for dry skin and on the go. I love this tube for quick mornings to just grab, rub on and go. Date published: 2015-04-10 Rated 3 out of 5 by ericca456 from It smells odd. I got this product on a deal here on the website and I was super excited to try it out. As soon as I opened it, I noticed it smelled bad. Almost like dead fish? Anyways, ignoring the smell, I decided to use it. The smell only lasts for a couple seconds once applied so I just quit breathing when applying and by the time I'm done, I can't even smell it. It does a very good job moisturizing the face, though. Date published: 2015-04-10 Rated 5 out of 5 by rebecca10 from it is super soft This product is similar to a moisturizer I use at work, and its easy and convenient to use. Date published: 2015-04-09 Rated 2 out of 5 by KLVQ from Melted?! When I received my moisture stick, I opened it to find it clumpy beneath the clear seal and it was as if it melted...? Date published: 2015-03-27 Rated 5 out of 5 by PBmakeupgirl from If you have dry under eyes you gotta get this! I'm in love with this product. I have dry under eyes and sometimes my concealer may crease throughout the day. I just dab a bit of this under my eyes or wherever I have dryness and it takes care of it. A little goes a long way. :) Date published: 2015-03-25 Rated 5 out of 5 by beckyc63 from This is a fabulous product! I love this stuff!! I'm on my 3rd tube and I can't say enough about this. I use it morning and nite. So easy and my 50yr old skin just loves it. Never gets greasy or breaks me out. Would recommend this for any skin type. Use under makeup for a great smooth finish or dab on dry patches over make with fingers. Please don't ever stop making this elf! Oh and it works under eyes too!

I'm 60yrs old and had been cycling for about 5 years.Last week I rode a century ride with a time of 5hrs45mins.
This century ride is a yearly event complete with marshal, timing chips on the bike and water stations.I'll be joining again next year and hope to get a better time.Can anyone suggest a training plan to get a better time.I'm hoping to reduce my time by 30 minutes.
Will age be a factor?
I know the ride is one year away but it's never too early to plan ^_^

Hi Paul,
I came across your plugin, but haven't tried it yet because I am unsure about a couple of points (and don't want to destroy my high-traffic site):
- Has this been rectified yet? http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-amazon-link-conflict-with-shortcode-exec-php-plugin
(I use that plugin too)
- After seeing what another user posted here, I went to https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/advertising/api/detail/main.html
(am new to "api" things), and now I am unsure:
Wouldn't those api credentials be more suitable for Amazon Link? Why sign up to AWS and pay for lookups if as Amazon advertiser they give us free lookups, no?
- Most worrying for me: "Individual WordPress users can also add their own tracking IDs to their User profile." - Why on earth would a website owner want this? (unless it's some kind of multi-author site)
--> Using Amazon Link would mean that anyone signing up to my site can generate MY amazon commissions??
I don't see why you implemented that feature, and even if, why you not then made it an option?
Not sure if this is the reason for the comparatively few reviews and downloads of Amazon Link? As nemoprofeta said, your plugin sounds like the TOP amazon plugin!
So, basically I am confused.

Son of the famous headmaster at Rugby, Matthew Arnold was born in Laleham, England on December 24, 1822. Following his studies at Rugby and Oxford, he established himself in an Oxford professorship of poetry in 1857 and relentlessly pursued the theme of social integration. P As a young man, Arnold attempted to create poems through which contemporary readers could touch worlds of remoteness-the people and places of legend. But by 1855 he had realized that his poetry could never achieve the popularity of the poetry of Alfred Tennyson nor the influence among the great that might have compensated for his smaller audience. Arnold gradually became a trenchant social critic. In his essay Culture and Anarchy (1869), he inveighed against the barbarian aristocracy for its materalism, against the philistine middle class for its vulgarity, and against the populace lower class for its ignorance. He sought wider respect for education and coined the phrase "disinterestedness" to suggest that culture should be disseminated equally among all social classes. His Essays in Criticism (1865) established a broader intellectual scope for the literary critic: Criticism was to be more comprehensive, with social and political considerations equal in importance to scholarship. In his efforts to integrate literature and life, and to bring higher cultural standards to all ranks of society, Arnold had an influence extending well beyond his own time.

text: Okay, I had a sort of funny thing happen to me today. Today's ride was to be a 50 miler that I had done 2 weeks ago. On that ride I had everything go wrong: Dead legs right off, couldn't unclip and fell over, ran out of water , got the crams and so on. Anyway, today I was better prepared, I had a place to fill my water,I had another Cliff Bar for fuel and my jersey even was fitting better due to my weight getting down. I have been pounding legs all week in the gym, and was a little concerned, they felt great too. So, I was pulling out from the park where I took a small potty break and hear some female voice yell at me. I THOUGHT I heard them say "Got a nice ass." I was sure the spandex bike shorts were doing something for young lady, so I looked back to see who it was. It turned out to be a gal at yard sale holding a back pack in her hand. It then dawned on me that she said " Got a nice back pack" that she thought that I needed to buy. I just busted up right there knowing that the gal had no idea what I was laughing about. Oh well, the delusions of grandeur were nice for those few seconds and it turned out to be great ride anyway.

19 Missing ... that's 20%...

Following all the alerts from other bloggers, I made sure that all of my existing 93 green leaf matches had stars and/or notes*. As you can see above, now I have only 90 green leaf matches. Doesn't sound too bad, does it? But, examining those 90, there are 16 with no star and no note but with a new blue dot ... they are entirely new to me.

So, a total of 19 of my "Then" DNA matches who had trees with a match to my tree are no longer in that category. I haven't looked exhaustively for them, but it seems likely that they are indeed "gone." I assume ancestry.com did not change my tree or their trees, so if they are no longer among the green leaf DNA matches, they must no longer match my DNA at/above the threshold. So much for starring or noting previous matches....

Other signs of change
I selected, fairly randomly, 6 of my "then" matches and looked at Ancestry.com's specification of shared cM's now. All of them have been modified:

A Decision
I'm glad ancestry.com wants my opinion and I will give it to them, but I'm not sure it really matters to them. They don't appear to have listened to the Power Bloggers....

I've decided that I'm not going to give these changes any more of my time and energy right now. I'll wait to read some blogs and I'm very interested to hear all the talk at SCGS Jamboree DNA Day.

* I followed many more of the precautionary suggestions, but I don't have the strength to analyze comparisons of them now...if ever....

I'm certainly happy with any obituary, but some are better than others... and this obituary is one of the others.... It is about my great-grandmother and briefly refers to my grandfather, but you'd have to be a family genealogist to know it!

The "local lady" is Margaret Lavina (Richardson) (Hegwer) Danes. This obituary is from the 14 July 1919 issue of the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel, p. 5. From the first line shown in the image, her obituary continues:

whose home was at 829 South avenue, occurred yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock, following a sickness of several months from asthma and complications. Mrs. Danes was born in Tiffany, Mo., August 29, 1860, and has been twice married, the first husband leaving her with two sons, one of whom is now making his home with his mother in this city and the other living in Idaho. Mrs. Danes was united in marriage with her present husband at Durango in 1905, and the family came to Grand Junction the following year.
 The funeral services are waiting word from the son in Idaho and upon receipt of such word the arrangements will be completed; burial will be on Orchard Mesa.
 Later--The funeral services will be held at the Martin chapel Tuesday at 2 o'clock p. m. and will be in charge of Rev. Edwards of the Christian church.
The only named person is her second husband, A.W. Danes (note the use of initials rather than 'Albert Wentling'). Neither her married name nor even her forename is given; survivors are not named. Click here  for a photo of Margaret, Albert, and local son, Raymond Hegwer.

The "detail" of her first marriage is inaccurate and the location of her second marriage is wrong.  Click here for previously posted info about her divorce from Charles Hegwer.

By 1910 census and Salt Lake City directories, they did not arrive in Grand Junction Colorado before 1913. I wonder who supplied the information...I would have expected her widower or her son to have been more accurate or to have simply omitted specifics. So, it's another example of how cautious we have to be with obituaries.

 I found it through the website of the Mesa County Libraries and ordered an e-copy from them. Thank you, Mesa County Libraries of Colorado!MHDhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227235601381982501.post-79407699871334693472015-10-10T22:16:00.000-07:002015-10-10T22:16:21.097-07:00atDNA Matches by CompanyI've made this my own "DNA Month" and plan to concentrate on getting all the things I've learned to do actually done. I've got some more gedcoms to upload, some more third-party tools to download and start using, match contacts to reply to, other matches to contact, and lots of results to analyze.

Comparing atDNA test results across companies
Luckily for me, my aunt was gracious and curious enough to let me test her atDNA. She's the only close relative I have from an earlier generation and so, consequently, her results are very important in my research. I tested her with Ancestry.com and then transferred the raw data to FTDNA to facilitate chromosome mapping. I've also got both of us at GedMatch.

I haven't been paying much attention to my matches beyond 4th cousins. Making this chart made me realize looking at my aunt's "4th cousin" matches, in essence, gives me one more good generation of priority matches to consider, at least on that side of my family. And, I didn't realize that she actually has more "4th cousin or closer" matches than I do. I'm going to have to spend some time on this result!

Hmmm...my chart for our FTDNA matches illustrates some of the differences between the two companies and how they select/report matches. ... Far fewer matches but more (on the surface) common matches. Given that my aunt doesn't have the Colonial America ancestry that's a full quarter of my pedigree chart, it surprises me that my aunt has more matches than I do.

It will be interesting to see how all these numbers change over time.

It was the 5 March 1821 issue on p. 3. Accessed with GenealogyBank.com

DIED -- At Hartland, on the 31st Jan Deacon DAN DAVISON in the 85th year of his age. It may truly be said of him, 'He came to his grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in, in his season.' He was a soldier in the last French war in America, and when the struggle commenced between Great Britain and America, he was a warm friend to his country, and had two tours in the Revolutionary Army. He was a member of the Legislature of Vermont several years. He was a kind neighbor and a faithful friend. The order and regulations of his family, were exceeded by few, if any in the present age; and great spiritual blessings has he enjoyed in his family. He was a Deacon in the Baptist Church in Hartland, from its first constitution, and one of its main pillars. We think we shall not exaggerate if we say, he lived and died a Christain, in the consciences of all classes of people.--His funeral was attended on the 3d inst. by a great concourse of people. A discourse was delivered on the occasion, by one whom he had appointed, from the words of Elisha when his master was taken away, recorded in II Kings, 11th chap, and a part of the 12th verse 'My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof.'

'Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright; for the end of theta man is peace.'

The death notice immediately following was, coincidentally, one sentence for one of his grandsons, Paul Davison, who died at age 26 in Waterford.

It saddens me that the memory of this man did not survive to my generation. When I began my research, I did not know that any of my ancestors had lived in New England, or that they had fought in wars, or that they were Deacons or even Baptist. Deacon Dan Davison was one of my 4th-great-grandfather on my mother's side.

Thomas Bascom and his wife, Martha Boltwood Field, are two of my fourth-great-grandparents, through their son David. This image is from Amherst town records and shows a family listing of their first five children.

Such a record does not prove the children were born in Amherst, but most certainy the family resided there for a time. Given that David is the last listed, it is more likely that he was born there. Town histories uniformly name Thomas Bascom as one of the early settlers of Amherst and there is no record of him returning to Warren, Worcester, Massachusetts prior to 1880. Consequently, I believe it is fairly safe to say that David was born in Amherst.

The baptismal note added to the first Nathan's birth listing would seem to imply that he was at least baptized in Amherst. It's probably also safe to list Martha and the second Nathan as born in Amherst.

Four more children were more probably born in Warren: Solomon, Asa, Absalon, and Simon.

Line of Descent
Thomas Bascom = Martha Boltwood Field
David Bascom = Lydia Palmer
Titus Davison = Hannah Field Bascom

My goodness, I'm having a great summer finding obituaries!! This time it's not a subscription website but is a free service of a public library: Mesa County Libraries in Colorado.

Luckily for me, one of my great-grandmothers spent her last years in Grand Junction, Colorado. I know my great-grandmother is buried there and that Hegwer grave(s?) were purchased at the Orchard Mesa Cemetery in Grand Junction. I know I've looked before but, this time, something went right and I stumbled into the Genealogy section of the library system's website.

I was shocked to find that they had four entries for "Hegwer" or related "Danes" surnames in their files. I was even more shocked to see that it appeared that they have a free service of providing e-copies of the related obituaries. I filled out the form and now I have copies of obituaries from the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel for:

Margaret Lavina (Richardson) (Hegwer) Danes, my great-grandmother

Albert Wentling Danes, her second husband

Walter Hegwer, one of her children who died young

Myrtle "Mamie" May (Foltz) Hegwer, widow of Raymond Dudley Hegwer, another of Margaret's sons

The biggest news here is the info about work, residence, and illness for grand-uncle Walter. And, I have his birthplace as Laveta, Costilla, Colorado rather than Pueblo. The clipping is from the 18 Feb 1908 issue on p. 8.

The moral of the story is to always check the library where family lived and to recheck it periodically...the digital world is changing...!

I sat down to send a note to Thomas MacEntee of Geneabloggers and High-Definition Genealogy (among others) and suddenly flashed on 'what date is this?!'

State of the Blog -- Writing
I haven't posted annual goals for GreatGreats for ages. Considering I only blogged once in all of 2014, my unstated goal this year was just to get back in the rhythm. I'm feeling pretty good about 2015: eighteen posts since last (uncelebrated) blogiversary.

On the other hand, I haven't done as many as I'd planned on DNA in my genealogy research. I have to do better with my DNA research in general.

I resumed First-Friday-Folder posts, but I've missed a couple. It's really hard when the first of the month is Thursday or Friday...I must plan ahead!! I'm very happy that I've scheduled regular review of existing folders and the related family group sheet. The biggest thing I saw recently is that while I have always written source citations, many of the earlier ones are lacking any written, specific explanation of specifically what my thought process had been.

State of the Blog -- Cosmetics
I'm feeling a serious urge to redecorate, ie redesign the blog. Ideas? Comments? My husband says my font size is too small. With the ease of manipulating screens nowadays, is that an issue for anyone? Anyway, the next time you visit GreatGreats, don't be surprised if it has a new look!

I selected this folder for review because, if I decide to participate in NEHGS' new database project Early Vermont Settlers to 1784, Lydia's father, Zenas Palmer, is a viable candidate. Before working on Zenas, I better make sure the more recent generation is in good shape…. (Read the very first one here to review what I mean by First Friday Folder.)

The Couple
Lydia PALMER was born in 1789 in Fairfax, Franklin, Vermont, the daughter of Zenas Palmer and Lydia Marshall. David BASCOM, son of Thomas Bascom and Martha Field, was born 8 Aug 1780 in Amherst, Hampshire, Massachusetts. David was in Fairfax by 5 Dec 1805 when he married Lydia. They lived there the rest of their lives and had nine children. David died 21 May 1859 and Lydia died just three months later, 29 Aug 1859. They, and many members of their families, are buried in Sanderson Corners Cemetery in Fairfax and most are listed at Find A Grave.

The Folder
The folder's contents were is relatively good shape, organized and nicely grouped. There were even three unnecessary duplicate pages to remove and file in the trash! I was feeling pretty good until I reviewed the family group sheet. While my citations were thorough enough to find the related source, I could not tell what-in-the-world I had been thinking…what did that page have to do with the event to which I had linked it?! I probably thought the link was obvious…something I'd "never" forget...

The Plan

FHL #28213 has been on my to-do list for some time: Now is the time to order these early Fairfax Town Records and write really thorough citations and proof statements as appropriate!

Review all citations for this couple and re-research and/or rewrite as needed.

Investigate two very promising DNA match in this line at Ancestry.com and another at FTDNA

Conclusions

 I need to remember that I am writing citations not for me today, but for me later when I am not in the midst of solving that problem and I no longer remember what I was thinking at the time. My new dream is to someday review a folder that does not embarrass me….

I have to figure out a rationale or procedure on how to prioritize and rank which DNA matches to pursue. There are just too many to do them all justice.

The latest issue of American Ancestors has a great surprise! American Ancestors is a publication of the New England Historic Genealogical Society and I'm used to finding info about my maternal grandfather's Colonial New England ancestry in almost every issue. I was unhappy about 2 years ago when the society decided to open their focus to be much more general: there'd be less content for me but I could understand their need to appeal to more people and make more money to support the society...so...

I never expected to find an article directly relevant to my Hegwer line! While Carl Benjamin Hegwer and Maria Rosina (Ilgner) Hegwer are not specifically mentioned, "George Dopf and the Old Lutheran Migration of 1839" is a very good article about the nature of their immigration in 1839. It's very hard (as in near impossible?) to find scholarly things in English about the early 1800s in Silesia, so this article is a real treat. The ship the Hegwer's were on left Hamburg 1 Jul 1839 and is the one described in this article, arriving NY on 24 Aug 1839.

Wherever the article refers to the Silesia group, that's us! There is no doubt that Carl Benjamin Hegwer knew Krause and Grabau, and probably Rohr, too. There was quite a bit of documented 'drama' among the 3 ministers, the Buffalo congregation, and the Wisconsin groups that has been left out of this article. You can't fit everything in one article!

WHAT I NEED TO DO NOW

I had no idea that any of the travel documents needed by the Old Lutherans to leave Prussia still existed. I can't wait to follow author McGrath's reference list and see if I can find some new info specific to the Hegwer's or Ilgner's. Records from the part of Silesia now in Poland are harder to find than those now in Germany, but I'll still try... and maybe the Hegwer/Ilgner party had already started to move and were interrogated along the way, leaving records in what is now Germany???

Clipping from the St. Albans Messenger of St. Albans, Vermont. This obituary appeared Thursday, 31 Dec 1903 on page 8. I found it through GenealogyBank.com; I'm very happy with my new subscription!*

Homer Thomas Porter and Dolly Bates are one set of my maternal great-great-grandparents. It's always nice to have an obituary for an ancestor, but this one is especially nice for several reasons:
 --It specifies where he was living when he died.
 --Dolly Ann (Bates) is named as his late wife.
 --His father, Thomas, is named. With common names, it's always nice to have generations linked!
 --It not only says where Dolly was when she died, it also specifies why she was so far from Vermont.
 --Surviving relatives are named and residences specified.
 --His religion and commitment to it are included.

I had most of these events but only from a distant family member. Granted, an obituary may not be reliable but this one is still closer to being original than what I had previously. All input considered, I'm feeling pretty good about reliability. What I had is confirmed and I'm able to fill in some very meaningful new details.

And, I have something new to research: What was the "battle of Plattsburg" and why is it still mentioned 90 years later???

Line of Descent

For the curious or the observant, Dolly Ann (Bates) Porter and her mother-in-law Abigail (Bates) Porter are not closely related. Abigail is a descendent of Clement Bates, while Dolly Ann is a descendent of Edward Bates of Weymouth.

With a full quarter of my ancestry coming from the Great Migration, I'm used to finding the occasional mention in American Ancestors, one of the periodical publications of the New England Historic Genealogical Society. But the Winter 2015 (Vol. 16, No. 1) has set a new standard here for excitement!

One article is primarily about Abigail Smith Adams, wife of President John Adams and mother of President John Quincey Adams [1]. Author Michelle Marchetti Coughlin hypothesizes howAbigail's maternal great-grandparents may have affected Abigail. Luckily for me, those maternal great-grandparents are also my 8th-great-grandparents, John NORTON and Mary MASON.

The entire article is very interesting and includes a good deal of family history information and detail, far beyond birth-marriage-death. The great surprise is a portrait of Mary Mason, circa 1670! The actual portrait, artist unknown, is on display at the Adams National Historical Park in Quincy, Massachusetts. As part of the United States National Park Service (NPS), the website is great, too. It includes a Photo Gallery with eight sections, one of which is Portraits in the Old House. Of the 32 portraits shown there, one is of "Mary Mason, circa 1670" and a download is available. My illustration here is a clip of that NPS download. Please visit their fine site for your own full copy.

Conclusions

Join national genealogy societies!

Read their publications and be prepared for surprises!

Appreciate fine government websites!

About 60% of Section B, page 6 is filled with the obituary of Patrick Macnee and includes a classic image from "The Avengers." I was surprised to see that he shared her birth year. He was one of mom's most favorite actors: she loved "The Avengers" with Macnee and Diana Rigg, but she would watch them no matter which female lead was present. I have very fond memories of watching the episodes in the 1960's with Mom. In later years, she was always ecstatic when she found reruns on TV.

The remaining 40% of the page was the obituary of Don Featherstone, designer of the vivid pink plastic garden flamingoes of 1957. The obituary includes a cute image of Featherstone with oodles of his flamingoes. Mom loved garden art, especially animals. We had several of those original flamingoes and she added/replaced them over the years; I have no idea how many she had in her lifetime. And, I never had any trouble finding a gift for her for any event or just because!

It's hard to believe it's merely a coincidence that, on her birthday, a whole page of the newspaper is consumed by two things she loved. I hope the families of Patrick Macnee and Don Featherstone realize how many memories they created for so many people.

My brother and I split her garden art. I think she might have been surprised to know we have kept it. I know she'd be surprised to see that I have added to it.

 I need to get a pink flamingo as soon as possible.

I was extremely successful at the TechZone at SCGS Jamboree this year! I am extremely happy to have found an obituary for Great-Grand-Uncle Henry Hegwer, ninth child of my great-great-grandparents Carl Benjamin and Maria Rosina (Ilgner) Hegwer. It's fairly lengthy and with a style of excess that fit the era. There are some errors but mostly sins of omission and exaggeration. The great thing that got me so excited is the image of Henry that was included!

This is a screen clip from the Denver Post of 15 Dec 1921, p. 10, cols. 5-6 obituary accessed through GenealogyBank. It's not the best quality and I don't see a lot of resemblance to present day Hegwer's, but he does clearly have a Hegwer-style forehead! Maybe there's still hope that I'll, one day, find a photo of his baby brother, my great-grandfather, Charles Hegwer….

I do want to take the time to point out two main errors in this obituary:

Henry was born 8 Oct 1842 in Freistadt, Ozaukee, Wisconsin. The family did not go to Kansas until 1857.

Henry was married three times: Kate Hornberger, Flora Wallace, and Fritchie (Knight) Conda. The marriage to Mrs. Conda lasted only about five weeks before Henry filed for divorce, which was granted a year later, but that's still a marriage.

Thank you, Southern California Genealogy Society! Thank you, GenealogyBank! I'm very happy to have this image of Henry Hegwer!

Great Grand-Uncle Henry Hegwer's second wife was Flora C. (Wallace) Hegwer. I just found an obituary for her at GenealogyBank from the Denver Post of 7 February 1910, p.2, col. 6, thanks to the TechZone at SCGS Jamboree!

I'm very happy to have this obituary because it shows that great-grand-uncle Henry, who had these children and married Flora, also used the name "Ferdinand." I was confident that they were the same person, but it's nice to have confirmation in print. I've blogged before about Henry...it seems there is no end to his adventures.

Transcription, with slashes indicating paragraphs:

Wife of Prominent Politician is Dead / Early Sunday morning Mrs. Flora C. Hegwer, wife of Ferdinand H. Hegwer, and for years a prominent Republican political worker, died at her home, 4428 Elizabeth street. Mrs. Hegwer had been a resident of Denver for over twenty years, coming here from Francisco, Ind. She was 43 years old and her death was brought on by a complication of diseases. Besides her husband, Mrs. Hegwer is survived by five children, Harry H., Otto W., Lela, Leonard and Mrs. Clara Lowe, all of this city. The funeral services will be held from the family residence Tuesday afternoon. / Mrs. Hegwer is survived by her husband and five children, Harry H. Hegwer, Otto W Hegwer, Lela Hegwer, Leonard Hegwer and Mrs Clara Lowe, all of Denver. Two sons of Mrs. Hegwer died in the Philippines during the Spanish-American war. They were Oscar W. Hegwer and Albert C. Hegwer. Both were members of the First Colorado regiment, Compay E. Harry H. Hegwer was also with the Colorado regiment in the Philippines. Ferdinand H. Hegwer, the husband, is a veteran of the civil war and is commander of the recently organized Indian War Veterans of Colorado. / The funeral of Mrs. Hegwer will be from the family residence tomorrow afternoon.
[Yes, the obituary repeats the names of the children and date of the services.]

Alternative Information

"Henry" is much more commonly used as his first name. Early records, military, headstone, etc., are "Henry." He seems to have started using "Ferdinand" around the time of the boiler explosion scandal.

Flora's first child, Otto, was born in Kansas in 1886 and the couple was definitely in Kansas in 1888 for court cases about the "Hegwer Houses" and at least one related lien on property Henry had in Flora's name. Yes, Flora was born in Indiana, but every indication is that they were in Kansas for at least a few years before Colorado. [ie, 1900 US Census, Denver, Arapahoe, Colorado]

Clara, Albert, Oscar, and Harry were children by Henry's first wife, Kate Hornberger, who presumably died before 1885. [ie, 1880 US Census, Grant, Reno, Kansas]

Albert died in San Francisco in a military hospital on the way to the Philippines; he was in Company I at the time. He is buried in the San Francisco National Cemetery. [ie, San Juan Prospector, 20 Aug 1898, p.1]

Oscar attended to his brother all through his short illness in San Francisco and then continued on to the Philippines. He returned to Denver after serving about one year but was already ill when he arrived home. He died a few weeks later. [i.e., Denver Evening Post, 15 Oct 1899, p.6, col.D]

Conclusion
I had already accumulated a great deal of info on Henry when I found this obituary, so I knew it was inaccurate. I hope researchers for whom this obituary is their first great find about Henry have the good sense to keep looking.

From the Irish Times webpage. I've blogged about this resource many years ago. It's good to revisit great resources periodically!

More possibilities abound: trade C for K, double vowels, omit second vowels, maybe trade a D for K and so on….MHDhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227235601381982501.post-75132613030342291982015-05-31T14:15:00.000-07:002015-05-31T14:16:28.471-07:00Great Resource: Maps of Morrow County, Ohio

This is just a clip of the Chester map from 1857. Visit their website to see much more!

The Morrow County Engineer website includes several links to county and township maps. The section titled "Misc Maps" is especially interesting since it includes the 1857 atlas maps, which it says were taken from actual surveys. Eight other Morrow County atlas maps are also included, dating from1871 to 1989. The map is in a pdf file and is very, very slow to load, so I'm not including that specific link here. Visit the 'Misc Maps' link and select the atlas map of your choice.

My SHAW and MILLER lines were in Chester, Knox County from the early 1800s. Morrow County was created in 1847 and Chester was one of the areas reassigned. Robert Shaw and Sarah Miller were in Missouri for the 1840 & 1850 censuses, but I can't find them in 1860…I wonder if they went back to Ohio? This 1857 maps show that there were still Miller's in town. Adjacent names are familiar, too.

I found this resource from a footnote in an article in the Ohio Genealogical Society's Ohio Genealogy News, Fall 2014 (45:3, p.21) by Corinne Bertin Konecny. My membership in OGS has paid for itself many times over through all I've learn through its publications.

With my new organization regimen, I review two random resource notebooks each month. (Most of them haven't been used for years.) My orginal hope was that I would find unnecessary or duplicate papers and could discard great bunches. You can probably guess that hasn't happened much. I keep telling myself that I am not responsible for archiving the world….

Today's pick was my notebook on German genealogy. I only found one unnecessary page in the whole notebook and only had to move one page to its proper section. Generally, I'm impressed with the quality of info I've accumulated...maybe I should even go back to working on that line?!

The forgotten treasure I found was my handout and notes from a 2006 lecture for the then Santa Clarita Valley Family History Center seminar. This session was presented by Kurt Schröder and included content on various script found in German records. I remember going up to him after the fine session and asking if he would please write "Hegwer" for me on my notes. I had already written the name out and I pointed to the blank area after the name. Mr. Schröder very graciously responded with the line you see above. (I added the arrow afterward so that I'd remember what I had!)

It took me over 10 years to find them and prove it. There was a lot of research with three independent serendipitous events involved and, someday, I should blog about it all….

I selected this folder for review this week because recent atDNA matches show promise and have re-energized my research on this line. Maybe I can find out where my Irish roots are….

The Couple

In the 1880 US Census, Patrick Keating is 32, born in Ireland of parents born in Ireland, wife Catherine is 26, born in Canada of parents born in Ireland. Their son, Fillamin T., is 4 years old and born in Ohio. In later records, he is referred to as "Thomas" or "Tom" with a middle initial "F." They were living in Benton, Ottawa, Ohio. Both a marriage certificate and state register show they were married in Ottawa County on 28 November 1873; Catherine's surname was given as Dooley. There was also a son, John, who died young with no children. My brother and I are their only daughter's only grandchildren.

The Folder
Much more than half of this one-inch-thick folder was loose pages of clues or ideas of what, where, and how to find the origins and ancestors of this couple. I spent this morning organizing the folder and now I have bundles with sequenced contents:

vital records

census info (including a possible 1870 census listing for Patrick)

deeds and land info & clues

info on the linguistic origin and geographic likelihood of both "Keating" and "Dooley" in Ireland

a very sizable bundle of censuses, family group sheets, and other info on Tom's 7 children and their descendants.

I was able to either consolidate or discard a very few duplicates…I'd hoped for more. Mostly, I was struck by how many solid clues or possible record types I have to follow. The two biggest may be the possible atDNA matches I have: one for a Dooley and the one for a descendant of Ellen (Keating) Earl (discussed in an earlier post).

The Plan
I have all of Thomas Keating's children and 13 grandchildren. I have some of the great grandchildren. I need to bring all of the grandchildren as far forward as possible. Then, I need to consider paying for one of them to do a Y-DNA test and perhaps find one of them who's interested in an atDNA test. Triangulation might help the analysis of my existing matches.

I have some of Patrick's deeds, but I need to find the earliest ones. I'm pretty confident that I have the right Patrick in a 1870 census in Ottawa County, but it says he has land and I can't find any deeds for him prior to 1874.

I need to find a primary birth/baptism source for Thomas F. (Fillamin). I'm going to have to get a system and just go through the Toledo Diocese records image by image…. Hmm, maybe I could even find Catherine's death record, circa 1887.

Perhaps the biggest thing my review today recovered is that I have a baptism record for Patrick & Catherine Keating's second child, John Keating, that gives Bellevue, Huron, Ohio as the location. I knew I had the baptism (since 2009, no less) but I had no recollection that it's in a county where I have never looked for the family. That's embarrassing!

Conclusions

For research problems, review what I already have and then review it again. I know I've written that before but here I've gone and proven it again!

DNA results may not immediately solve a major research problem, but they can certainly reenergize a search.

Having spent a day with this folder spread all over the breakfast table, what I really need is a whole wall like the ones in Homeland or Criminal Minds or Blacklist where the whole entire wall is covered with documents, images, maps, dates, with boldly colored yarn connecting some points. It would stay up all the time, never having to be put away until the problem is solved. Yeah, I know I could sorta do that with mind mapping software, but it's just not the same.

There's going to be a reunion of CAUSIER descendants in Droitwich, Worcester, England this summer. The organizers are celebrating the 300th anniversary of the baptism of Sacheverell Causier at St. Peter De Witton, 27 Jun 1715. They've received good press coverage in the Worcester area, with articles in both the Worcester News 19 February 2015 and in the Hereford Times 20 February 2015 . I wish I could go join them all.

These two articles are virtually identical and both include contact info for event organizer, John Causier. Wouldn't it be great to attend and travel around the area with distant cousins? Just think of all the photos that will be snapped and all the info that will be shared… wouldn't it be fun?… but I'll just have to be content with all the dreams I will have about returning to visit England…. I'll have to settle with contacting the organizer, seeing how we relate, and sending my best wishes for a successful event.

I've posted before about this Sacheverell Causier before. As shown in my line of descent below, I'm descended from 3 consecutive generations of Sacheverell Causier! Actually there were at least 2 more generations of Sacheverell's, just not my line.

We went to England in 2006 and had a wonderful time visiting with fourth cousins I'd found online: one on the Causier line and one on my Ethell line. This photo is from Whitwood and shows an old cornerstone naming James Causier. The year on this stone is illegible, but another stone in the building appeared to be dated 1887 (or possibly 1867). This James is not in my direct line, but is indeed a descendant of Sacheverell. The building is within sight of the church I showed in an earlier post.

Line of Descent

Sacheverell Causier = Betty Astmore
Sacheverell Causier = Elizabeth Wood
Sacheverell Causier = Sarah Hunt
William Causier = Ann Tolley
Charles Causier = Catherine Hughes
John Henry Carr = Ann Matilda Carr
Bertha Maud Carr = BT Hegwer (my grandparents)

I picked this folder this month because it has not been touched in 9 years. I'm afraid my sources won't meet my current standards! (Read the very first one here to review what I mean by First Friday Folder.)

The Couple
Both Paul and Abiel spent their short lives in Mansfield, Tolland, Connecticut. Paul Davison, son of Peter Davison and Anna Morgan, was born 5 April 1711 and died 20 August 1751. Abiel Phelps, daughter of Benjamin Phelps and Deborah Temple, was born 12 March 1711/1712 and died before May 1747. They were married 30 Aug 1733 and had at least three children: Oliver (1734-1769), Dan (1736-1821), and Phineas (b. 1740).

After Abiel died, Paul married second Deborah Wright 7 May 1747; they had Abial (b. 1748) and Deborah (b. 1750). After Paul died, Deborah married second Aaron Younglove.

The Folder
The folder had 15 items in it, mostly family group sheets or printouts from online trees with a date indicating I printed them out in 2004 & 2005. I removed some unneeded duplicates and two misfiled items were refiled…Yeah, now I have a thinner folder!

Upon review, I see that my sources are compiled genealogies and published transcriptions or extractions from town vital records. Everything seems to be consistent and there is no sight of genealogical problem with this couple. Of course, it would be better to verify everything myself with primary sources as I have with son Dan. Given that I have serious doubts about the ancestry of Paul's grandfather, the Daniel Davison who married Margaret Low in 1657, I would have to start by verifying Paul and then his father Peter before I ever return to research Daniel.

The Plan
I've annotated both the family group sheet and my master To-Do list that I need to start with verifying Paul and work my way back from there if I ever decide to return to researching Daniel Davison. This folder will be all ready for me then!

Conclusions
This was a pretty easy folder to review and there aren't any major things to do. It should be easy to find primary sources, given that I know where and when to look. This line would be a good one to work on the next time I get to Salt Lake City!

The latest post at the Vita Brevis blog, Celebrating Presidential Kinship, US Ancestry by Christopher Carter Lee, does "briefly" discuss the presidency, genealogy of the individual presidents, and NEHGS's support of such research and archiving. It also reminds me that I haven't blogged about any of my presidential connections….

While I am not descended from any American Presidents, several of them are distant cousins through some of my Great Migration ancestors. At the 2009 SCGS Jamboree, I had the pleasure of talking with Gary Boyd Roberts at the NEHGS booth. I blogged about his great books before but didn't list my presidential cousins...

That year, after reviewing my pedigree chart, Gary Boyd Roberts listed the following cousins for me:  Fillmore, Lincoln, Grant, Cleveland, Harding, Coolidge, FDR, Nixon, Ford, both Bushes, and conditionally added Pierce and Hoover. It's almost six years since Mr. Roberts examined my chart and wrote the notes and I'm still gratified by his kindness.

As the Vita Brevis post mentions, there is a newer 2012 edition of the book and I'm sure it's worth having for all the additions & corrections it must have, but I can't bear to replace mine. I will always cherish the thought that Gary Boyd Roberts actually took my pedigree chart back to his hotel room, read it, wrote on it, and took the time to write a detailed personal comment on my copy of his book! Thank you, Mr. Roberts!

I hope to someday get to Boston to visit the library and do lots of research. I'll take my book along with me, hoping to show Roberts and talk with him again. In the meantime, I really, really hope that someday NEHGS brings him back to this area for Jamboree.MHDhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227235601381982501.post-31597056293126939802015-02-11T19:08:00.000-08:002015-02-11T19:08:34.518-08:00Great Resource Verifies New Cousin: Martha (Earl) Black BeckIn genealogy, we seem to spend a good deal of our time fitting pieces together, hoping we're right, and going on from there. Don't you love it when you find something that verifies a chain of assumptions?

I've been working on William EARL with wife #1 (married 1860 in Ottawa County, Ohio) Ellen/Helen KEATING and wife #2 (married 1868 in Ottawa County) Mary HADD Gourno Earl Peeling for some time with no indication that they are related to me. But, when you know so little about a great-grandfather, you must research those around them (FAN concept)! My great-grandfather, Patrick KEATING, had land dealings with William EARL in Ottawa County, Ohio, in the 1860-70s, and William's first wife was an Ellen KEATING. I figure there has to be a family relationship there but it's been outside my grasp. Ellen left even fewer records than Patrick and for years I believed that there were no children from her short marriage to William Earl.

Long story short: a few months ago, I was able to verify that some of the children formerly/sometimes attributed to Mary HADD's first or second marriage were actually her step-children. Ellen Keating did have descendants! But, there was still a lingering uncertainty with confused names, common surnames, and only circumstantial links.

The great resource in my title for this post is the Ohio Memory site . It's one of those resources where you can get lost for hours and find wonderful things! It's a must if you have any roots in Ohio.

Today, after reviewing all the inconsistencies in Ellen's children's names and ages, I decided to review my "EARL possibilities" folder and found a note that there is an obituary for one of Ellen's daughters at OhioMemory. Hmm, better check it out…. well, it's a great find! It's just a 15-line obituary with only 94 words from an unnamed newspaper, but it ends all my doubts about the children of William Earl and Ellen Keating!

Transcription:

 Mrs. Charles Beck, better known in Oak Harbor, where she was born and raised, as Mrs. Mattie Black, died at Marion, Ind., last week Wednesday, at the age of 52 years. She was a step-daughter of Mrs. Mary Earle and half-brother of Wm. T. Earle. For many years, the deceased with her first husband Daniel Black, operated a milk route in Oak Harbor, residing north of town about a half mile. she leaves two sons Ira and Guy, the former being a prosperous grocery dealer at Marion, Ind., and the latter in the ministry.
The online item title is "Obituary of Mattie Beck" and has a handwritten date of 2-26-1917 on the clipping image and was submitted by the Harris-Elmore Public Library, which seems to be about 9 miles from Oak Harbor.

The Great News
Careful readers should now be asking "What's the great news? Where's your connection to Patrick anyway? Well, one of my atDNA matches is a descendant of Daniel Black and Martha/Mattie Earl! Ancestry.com DNA predicts we are 4th-6th cousins with "very high confidence. " My "conclusion" is that my great-grandfather, Patrick Keating, and Ellen Keating are indeed related: maybe cousins, maybe even siblings!

Of course, there's still a lot of work to do. But I think it will be easier to find Patrick's origins now that I
'know" at least one relative for him!

The Plan

Enter all my Earl info into my database and online trees

Contact and exchange info with my new Black Family cousin

Go back to researching Patrick with a new perspective and renewed energy!

Don't you love the feeling that just maybe there is an answer in sight?

MHDhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227235601381982501.post-17900987583407053772015-02-06T16:30:00.000-08:002015-02-06T16:30:27.722-08:00First Friday Folder: Benjamin Richardson & Ellen HoltMy First Friday Folder feature has been silent for over two years. Given that this year's mega-goal is organization, it's time to start it up again! (Read the very first one here to review what I mean by First Friday Folder.) I picked this particular folder this month because I knew it would be an easy one to do and would help ease back into the First Friday Folder habit.

The Couple
Benjamin RICHARDSON and Ellen HOLT are two of my 4th-great-grandparents on my dad's side. This is the public debut of my officially claiming them as ancestors. Prior to this week, I have had them in my database with the middle names of "UNPROVEN." No, I haven't written my proof statement yet, but I really think there's enough to go on finally… and having a folder in which to put it all while I work on the statement is a good thing, right? Then, the proof statement can be a new post!

The Folder
This folder is in pretty good shape because there were only a few things in it:

two maps of the Estill County area of Kentucky

a FHL film note for a film on Estill County wills

copies of 3 email conversations with Richardson expert, cousin DR on Benjamin

placeholder copies of p.1 of about six websites with pedigrees including early Richardsons.

I put an official new label on the folder. I removed the UNKNOWN middle names from Benjamin & Ellen in my database and printed out a family group sheet. It has virtually nothing more than son Amos' info and notes.

The Plan

Write proof statement, including DNA evidence, on Benjamin & Ellen being the parents of the Amos Richardson who married Elizabeth (Betsey) HICKS.

Review evidence/sources DR already has collected on the couple and enter into my database.

Figure out what other early records exist that might help document Benjamin and Ellen.

Track all of their children for at least 2 generations of descendants, which should further strengthen the DNA evidence.

Line of Descent
Benjamin RICHARDSON = Ellen HOLT
Amos RICHARDSON = Elizabeth (Betsey) HICKS
John D. RICHARDSON = Isabella SHAW
Charles HEGWER = Margaret Lavinia RICHARDSON
Benjamin Theodore HEGWER = Bertha Maud CARR, my paternal grandparents

Conclusions
I still think it's important to revisit folders/couples every so often, if only to see if there's anything to be done to make more room in the file drawer. I hope my renewed resolve lasts…! I know I cheated a bit by picking this folder, but it stills feels good to be posting again.MHDhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227235601381982501.post-82458830558138206842015-01-31T22:43:00.002-08:002015-01-31T22:43:41.594-08:00My CARR-line mtDNA[First, a comment: This is embarrassing…my first post in a year…how did that happen? Better late than never?]

One of the projects I've been most involved with over the last year has been genetic genealogy. Altogether over the past few years, I have paid for or won (Going to conferences does pay off!) a total of 9 DNA tests on my husband's or my lines. For the past 18 months, I've made a point of studying more about it. I've read books, blogs, articles, and gone to several seminars, including the DNA Day at Jamboree last year. Unfortunately, the field is seemingly growing and changing faster than I can keep up! But I am finally feeling confident enough to post the first in what should be lots of upcoming DNA posts sprinkled among others. I believe that writing about my results is part of my learning process, but my main goal is to share what I've learned about specific lines…and there's really been a good deal of progress on some of them lately!

A few years ago, a first cousin graciously agreed to give a sample so I'd have info on our CARR maternal line. From Grandma CARR it goes back through Ann Matilda CAUSIER, Catherine HUGHES, and Lydia COOPER. The paper trail to my 3rd great-grandmother, Lydia COOPER, is well documented. According to census data, Lydia was born about 1803 in Brierly Hill, Worcestershire, England. I hope this year to really search for her parents.

mtDNA Results

Grandma CARR's mtDNA comes back as haplogroup J and is consistent with her English heritage. As of today, there are 304 HVR1, HVR2 matches. With just a quick review and, as is the nature of mtDNA, there's no sign of a match in a genealogically relevant time frame.

This test was done over 4 years ago; so, to determine a specific subclade, I'd need to upgrade the test. Doing so could be useful in eventually confirming or disproving any hypotheses I might come up with for Lydia's parentage.

TO DO

Review Brierley Hill baptism records to see if I can find any possible parents for Lydia.

Spend more time/care in reviewing the current mtDNA "matches," …who knows what may show up? Also, I have my aunt's atDNA…I need to get it transferred to FTDNA and see if any of her mtDNA matches are also atDNA matches.

Review the FTDNA projects available to me and consider joining them.

Consider upgrading this test. Maybe there'll be special conference pricing at Jamboree!

It took some work and a lot of luck, but I was very fortunate to soon find other researchers who had been working for years and had all purposefully put their data online or published it in society newsletters, etc., to make it easier for others to find. I think of their generosity whenever I meet genealogists who proudly proclaim they don't share their work. I understand, and have had those thoughts myself..., but I know my research wouldn't be as far along as it is now without the help of others before me.

Today, I found Great-Great-Grandmother Catherine HUGHES' 23 July 1837 baptism in the Bishop's Transcripts of St. Thomas' Church in Dudley, Worcestershire, solely because of distant Cousin Judy and the info she shared with me several years ago. She had done her research over years in the "dark ages" of genealogy research: alone, by hand, by snail mail, taking months to go from one clue to another. Thank you, Judy! And, if you should see this, please contact me--I can't find you....

Line of Descent

Charles Causier = Catherine Hughes

As the season of snow boots and slush arrives in much of the country, entryway floors will take a beating.
The spot where we enter our homes — and welcome guests — can be a tricky one to decorate. It's meant to be a showcase, expressing our style and setting the tone for a visitor's stay. But the floor must withstand dripping umbrellas, muddy shoes and more.
Los Angeles-based interior designer Betsy Burnham is often approached by clients who want help with entryways. Choosing a floor covering is a priority, she says.
Here Burnham and two other experts offer tips on durable, easy-to-clean flooring that doesn't skimp on style, from cork to porcelain tile to washable rugs.
• Think replaceable: Burnham and designer Brian Patrick Flynn, founder of decordemon.com, are fans of cork flooring in high-traffic areas.
Cork squares are durable, made from natural wood fibers and can handle moisture. They also absorb sound well and come in a variety of colors and patterns. "Don't just picture a bulletin board" when you think of cork, Burnham says.
Cork offers a look similar to hardwood, but is less expensive. And you can replace just one tile if a section gets damaged.
Another flexible option is FLOR carpet tiles, Flynn says. "You can add color, texture or pattern by laying them out in the desired pattern," he says, "then cutting the end tiles to size." FLOR tiles can be laid out to give the look of an area rug or wall-to-wall carpeting.
Flynn also recommends vinyl plank tiles. These inexpensive tiles are thin but durable, and easy to install. They can be mopped clean. And do-it-yourself installation is simple, Flynn says. "It simply requires a utility knife for installation. The planks attach to one another with an upward-facing sticky strip. Each time a plank reaches a wall, it's cut to size," he says.
• Think removable: Rugs can be a great way to delineate the space at an entryway, and many styles are washable. "I've done everything from rag rugs to Turkish carpets" in entryways, Burnham says.
Rather than investing in one expensive rug, she says, buy several that can be swapped out when one is being cleaned.
Meg Caswell, host of HGTV's "Meg's Great Rooms," suggests shopping for carpet remnants. Carpet stores often keep their remnants out of sight, she says, but if you ask they should direct you to them. If you find a remnant piece you want, have it cut to size. You can ask to have it banded with a canvas edge in a contrasting color, Caswell says, or in a patterned fabric you've chosen.
By using a remnant, you've created a custom piece with little expense. If it's damaged by foot traffic over the course of a few winters, the loss will be minimal.
Stylish but inexpensive and washable rugs are widely available online, from Ikea.com to eBay.com or Etsy.com. If you find a style you like at a great price, these designers recommend buying two so you'll have a backup.
Another approach that Flynn and Burnham recommend: Buy a vintage rug that's already worn. Faded colors and frayed spots are part of the charm, so you won't mind if further wear-and-tear happens.
If you'd prefer the finished look of wall-to-wall carpeting at your entrance, Flynn suggests buying several smaller rugs and attaching them underneath with carpet tape. The edges can be cut to fit your space, giving a permanent, wall-to-wall look. But pieces can be removed for cleaning.
• Think durable: Caswell often recommends porcelain tiles for high-traffic entryways. "The minute I say porcelain tile, people think it's going to shatter, that it's fragile," she says. "But really porcelain tiles are truly the most durable tiles out there."
• Think bold : Whatever material you use for your entryway floors, these designers suggest avoiding pale neutrals and solids in favor of slightly bolder colors, patterns, and textures that hide dirt and signs of wear.
For wood floors, Flynn suggests, "have a pattern painted directly onto it using porch and deck paint," he says. "The porch and deck paint is insanely durable and will last a long time. To make it even more foolproof, consider adding another coat of sealer to it just before the winter."

Deputy chief charged with DUIJuly 22,2013Deputy chief
charged with DUI
SHELDON Burlingtons deputy police chief is facing a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Vermont State Police said troopers pulled over a motorist on Route 105 in Sheldon for failure to use a turn signal shortly after midnight Sunday.
The operator, 44-year-old Andi Higbee of Colchester, was arrested for drunken driving and later released on a citation. He was off duty at the time.
Burlington Police Chief Mike Schirling said in a statement that Higbee has been placed on paid administrative leave. Higbee has a court date scheduled for Aug. 12.
The Burlington Free Press said Higbee pleaded guilty in 1999 to driving under the influence while he was a sergeant with the Burlington Police Department. He was demoted to corporal for four months.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Gov. Full StoryTwo weeks before Puerto Ricos primary, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said a... Full Story

Amici Curiae during the Rehnquist Years
Owens, Ryan J., Epstein, Lee, Judicature
With the end of the "Rehnquist Court," observers of all ideological stripes are beginning to opine on the principal legacy of the era. Is it the "resurrection" of federalism? A resurgence of judicial supremacy? The expansion of gay rights? A dramatically reduced plenary docket? The attention to foreign law sources? A growing wariness of the death penalty? Bush v. Gore (2000)?
To this list, the astute Court watcher, Linda Greenhouse, has added a less apparent candidate: a group of justices "primed and willing to listen" to arguments made by "skilled" advocates. In Greenhouse's account, the Court's consideration of the claims of attorneys and amid curiae-especially claims about the consequences of its decisions-explains why even some of its more conservative members were willing to uphold the Family and Medical Leave Act,1 to retain state programs that fund legal services for the poor,2 to allow universities to take race into account in admissions decisions,3 and to reconsider whom the state may legally execute.4 A particularly compelling example of her thesis, Greenhouse suggests, is Lawrence, v. Texas5 in which the majority struck down same-sex sodomy laws:
The [amicus curiae] briefs proved unusually enlightening for the Court. While victory has a thousand fathers, some of these briefs were particularly important..: an international brief, filed by Harold Koh of Yale Law School to inform the Court of legal developments in other Western judicial systems and demonstrate the error of the Bowers [v. Hardwick] majority's generalizations about how "Western civilization" regards various sexual practices; briefs by professors of history and by a coalition of gay rights groups led by the Human Rights Campaign, likewise demonstrating that the assumptions in Bowers about the historical treatment of gay people were also incorrect; and briefs describing the demography, lives, and aspirations of the gay community in ways that underscored how out of synch with current perceptions and realities the Bowers opinion, and the premises behind it, had become. The National Lesbian and Gay Law Association filed one such brief, and the American Psychological Association filed another. There were also important briefs from the American Bar Association and two libertarian organizations that the Court recognized as repeat players, the Cato Institute and the Institute for Justice.6
Why was the Rehnquist Court especially (and perhaps unusually) attentive to arguments offered by groups and other interested third parties? Greenhouse offers a number of possibilities, not the least of which was the Court's concern with "its own institutional legitimacy"7 in the wake of Bush v. Gore.8
Greenhouse, of course, is not the first to draw attention to the importance of "good lawyering"9-although the extent to which legal arguments and briefs submitted by the parties or amici curiae actually affect the justices is hotly debated in academic circles. Some social scientists, most notably Jeffrey A. Segal and Harold J. Spaeth,10 assert that justices make decisions based on their own political values vis-à-vis the facts raised in cases; attorneys' arguments, the preferences and likely reactions of Congress, public opinion, and so on have little bearing on their votes. Other commentators reject this view in part or in full. Epstein and Knight, for example, claim that if justices desire to etch their policy preferences into law, then they require information about how actors in a position to thwart those preferences may respond to their decisions.11 Not only can amici supply such information but their sheer numbers may also convey the extent to which legal and political communities support (or oppose) particular policies.
The goal of this article is not to join this controversy. Nor is it to assess Greenhouse's claims about the importance of good lawyering during the Rehnquist Court era. Taking on either would require an entire issue or two of Judicature. …
