52 Ancestors Friday: #15 Georgianna (Kemp) Auble (1868-1952)

Amy Johnson Crow suggested a weekly blog theme of "52 Ancestors" in her blog post Challenge:  52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks on the No Story Too Small blog.  Here is my ancestor biography for week #8:

Georgianna Kemp  (1868-1952) is #15 on my Ancestor Name List, and is my great-grandmother.  She married #14, Charles Auble (1849-1916) in 1898.



 I am descended through:

* their daughter, #7 Emily Kemp Auble (1899-1977), who married 1918 #6 Lyle Lawrence Carringer (1891-1976)
* their daughter, #3 Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002) who married 1942 Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
* their son, #1 Randall J. Seaver (1943-....)

To create this post, I made an Individual Summary report in RootsMagic 6, then saved it into an RTF file. I then copied and pasted the Person, the Individual Fact List, the Marriages/Children, the General Notes, and the Source Citations into this blog post. Unfortunately, the source citations superscripts did not survive this process as superscripts, so I put them in brackets in the Individual Facts list below, and without brackets in the Source Citation list. I have images of many of these records, but have not included them in this blog post due to the length of the post. Many of them have been transcribed or shown in Amanuensis Monday and Treasure Chest Thursday posts.

4)  NOTES:

Georgianna Kemp was born in Delhi, Norfolk County, Ontario, Canada on 4 August 1868 to James Abraham and Mary Jane (Sovereen) Kemp.  The death certificate for Georgia Kemp Auble provides the birth date, but says that her mother's maiden name was Melissa Wilson (Mary Jane (Sovereen) Kemp died in 1874, and James Kemp married Melissa Wilson in 1876) [4].  Census records are consistent with 1868, and the 1900 U.S. census record says she was born in August 1868.

She was called Georgianna or Georgia all of her life, and there are records for both names.
