Day 2 Activities at Jamboree

Day two at the SCGS Genealogy Jamboree in Burbank was an expanded version of day one, but with more variety.


*  We started out with breakfast in the Blogger Lounge area.  They didn't have bananas!  Undaunted, I went over to the breezeway breakfast cart and bought one.

*  I was determined to attend more classes today.  I've looked forward to Thomas Jones talk on "Can a Complex Research Problem Be Solved Solely Online?"  This was a fascinating case study that starts out very much like any late 18th century research.  But then it got complicated as Tom went through the records found online in a methodical investigation.  I loved it!

*  The Exhibit Hall was opened so I went in and browsed a bit, took some photos, and then went ti hear Rev. Dave McDonlad's presentation on "Lutherpalians & Presbygationalists: Where Did Grandma's Church Go?"  From the handout, I thought that this would be a church history talk, but it ended up being a description of the characteristics and beliefs of about 15 different (I didn't count) church systems.  It was fascinating.  The history in the handout is great too.

*  Now it was 11 a.m., and I knew I needed to do more in the Exhibit Hall.  Talked to Geoff and his team at Legacy Family Tree, to Rachel at Ancestry.com about DNA, Dean Richardson about Genlighten and their move to Orange County, and more.  Met Alice Kane briefly at the NEHGS exhibit.

*  Went out to get lunch in the breezeway carts, and ate with Virginia at a table there.  No hot dogs or burgers, only meatball sandwiches, so I didn't have a sandwich.  Then it was back to the Exhibit Hall.

* Attended the 12:30 p.m. prize drawing (didn't win anything) and then watched the Global Family Reunion on the big screen TV while the SCGS folks were handing bout the "I Am a Jamboree Cousin" papers.  Then we waited an extra 30 minutes as the emcee in New York said stupid things and finally Sister Sledge did her song and we sang along.  All through the time there were five beach balls in the crowd being batted around.  There was a GFR group picture and then a Blogger photo taken.   I took a lot of pictures ad posted some of them in the earlier post.

*  I went back to the Exhibit Hall and sat and uploaded several photos to Facebook and more to my email.  Then at 2 p.m. I went to George G. Morgan's talk on "The Genealogist as CSI."  This was a pretty good summary of working through a research problem following the Genealogical Proof Standard.  It suffered from a bit of confusion over primary/secondary source and original/derivative source, and it could have used some graphic images and a short case study.

*  Now it was 3 p.m. and I stopped to see Lisa Louise Cooke and compare grandchild notes, then talked to the Mayflower Society lady and she noted that it was almost time for the Belmont Stakes.  I went to the Blogger Lounge and watched the race.  On the way back to the Exhibit Hall, I ran into Jay Holladay and he asked me to take some photos of his Tech Zone and the volunteers there.  I took some standard photos and also a panorama which showed everyone in the room.  I will write a separate blog post about this.

*  I went back to the Exhibit Hall and took more photos, and talked to Anna at Ancestry about the indexed probate records coming to Ancestry working with FamilySearch.  This is really exciting for me.

*  Went up to the room and wrote the Day two photo post, then we went down to the Blogger Lounge and I took some pictures.

*  Dennis and Gloria came and we went out to dinner with them to Black Angus.  We had a great time.  My iPhone GPS worked well both ways.

*  We were back by 9 p.m. and I came up and wrote this post.  I will update the blog compendium post soon.

That was my Day Two - busy, educational and fun.  I attended, and managed to stay awake in, three classes (out of six on the schedule).  I took notes in Evernote on my tablet.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Your Best Research Find In May 2015

It's Saturday Night, 
time for more Genealogy Fun!!


For this week's mission (should you decide to accept it), I challenge you to:


1)  I am away at the SCGS genealogy Jamboree this weekend, having too much fun (I hope!).

2)  What was your best genealogy research "find" in May 2015?  It could be a record, it could be a photograph, etc.  Whatever you judge to be your "best."

3)  Tell us about it in a blog post of your own, or in a comment to this blog post, or in a Facebook or google+ post.

Here's mine:

While doing research to add content and context to my 52 Ancestors sketch of Humphrey White (1757-1814), my 4th great-grandfather, I found the following records:

*  Four deeds in Bristol County, Massachusetts for Humphrey buying/receiving and then selling two parcels of land in Westport on the west side of the (now) Westport River.  I wrote about two of the deeds (to date) in:

*  Amanuensis Monday - Post 269: 1794 Deed of Jonathan White to Humphrey White in Bristol County, Mass. (25 May 2015)
*  Amanuensis Monday - Post 270: 1792 Deed of Stephen Gifford to Humphrey White in Bristol County, Mass. (1 June 2015)

Then, I found the location of the Humphrey White house in Glocester, Providence County, Rhode Island based on an 1870 historical map, a vanity book article about the family, a photo in his profile on Geni.com, and Google Maps street view.  My post was:

*  Finding Humphrey White's House in Glocester, R.I. (27 May 2015)

That's it!!

Day 1 Activities at Jamboree

Friday at Jamboree was a typical Jambo-day for me.  I attended a few classes, wandered the Exhibit Hall, and saw quite a few geneabloggers and Genea-Musings readers.  A fun day.


(photo courtesy of J. Paul Hawthorne)

*  We ate breakfast in the lounge just between the lobby and the elevators - I had my banana and blueberry muffin.  Paul, Sheri and Elyse were there and we took some pictures.  Then I saw Laurie and Beverley and we took some more pictures.

*  Then it was off for the first Genealogy World roundtable discussions at 8:30 a.m.  I chose to sit at Butch Hibben's table, which was about Technology.  Butch reviewed a long list of mobile apps like Evernote and CamScanner to a full table.  There were lots of questions.  I talked to Laurie a bit about some of her research too.

*  I was going to go to the second roundtable session but it was pretty full and I hung out in the conference center for awhile.  I went to hear Drew Smith at 11 a.m. on Crowdsourcing, but it was mainly about RootsWeb message boards and mailing lists, so I left and had lunch in the breezeway between buildings - a hot dog, chocolate chip cookie and an apple.  Got to take to Janet, a beginning genealogist from Baltimore, about her research and education opportunities.

*  The Exhibit Hall opened at 12 noon, and I made a quick tour of all of the aisles.  There were several exhibit spots that were open - perhaps they will be filled on Saturday.  I took some pictures, and ended up staying for the 1 p.m. class sessions, mooching candy and water from the MyHeritage team.  I heard some interesting things, but can't recall them now 8 hours later.  Went up to the room because I had a headache, but Linda and her friend were there, so went back downstairs without a nap.

*  Went at 2:30 p.m. to Michael Lacopo's class on Finding Your German Ancestors.  It was very good, but I was really tired and sleepy. There was no handout in the app or CDROM, but apparently is in the printed syllabus.  I was counting on that!  At 3:30 I went back to the Exhibit Hall and took more pictures, then talked to Denise at her book tabled and that cleared my headache somehow.  Talked to the NEHGS team and Michael Provard of FamilySearch about search, the tree and the tree add-ons.

*  Went up to the room at 5:15 p.m. and wrote the Exhibit Hall picture post.  Linda came back and we went down for dinner at The Daily Grill, since we don't have a car or want to walk.  We ate alone.  I had the big Chicken Pot Pie and Linda had a chicken and cheese dish.  We had ice cream with strawberries for dessert.

*  We went back to the room at 8 p.m., and I updated the Blog Compendium post.  Then I came downstairs to write this post on the Blogger Lounge table.  It sounds like many folks are back from dinner and the banquet, so I'll go see who is there.

I'll check in again on Saturday night.

Day 1 Wanderings at Genealogy Jamboree

I wandered around the SCGS Genealogy Jamboree hotel and Exhibit Hall today, and took some photographs.  Here are some of them:

1)  Yesterday, after we arrived, my Linda met Linda Okazaki, the current President of the California Genealogical Society and Library in Oakland:


2)  This morning at breakfast, Paul Hawthorne and I had our picture taken with two of the more outgoing geneabloggers, Elyse Doerflinger and Sheri Fenley.


3)  There was a big commotion in the registration area of the hotel this morning - Laurie Desmarais and Beverley Fieg arrived and were greeted by Amy Urman and Leslie Carney very enthusiastically, since Laurie recently had a birthday.


4)  The doors to the Exhibit Hall opened at 12 noon and it was a mad rush in - folks found about 70 exhibitors and their stands with genealogical treasures.  The RootsMagic exhibit right at the entry door:


5)  Turning 90 degrees, here is the view to the southwest, with the Genealogists.com exhibit near the entrance:


6)  Two of my favorite people were really bust at the Family Roots Publishing exhibit - Leland Meitzler and Bill Dollarhide.  They don't even know I took their picture - don't tell them:


7)  The Sons of Norway had a display opposite the NEHGS exhibit:


8)  The HistoryLines team was there demonstrating their product - I had a good talk with Adam:


9)  Ron Arons modeled his 3D mind map thinking cap:


10)  I had a good conversation with these two fellows with a new product, Documenting Your Past:


11)  MyHeritage has some comfortable chairs (and candy) at their display, I talked to Mark Olsen and Kiara and Mike Mansfield (shown below):


12)  Denise Levenick was selling her books at Lisa Louise Cooke's exhibit:


More photos to come!

52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 75: #90 Simon Wade (1767-1857)

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.  I am extending this theme in 2015 to 104 Ancestors in 104 Weeks. Here is my ancestor biography for week #75:

4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):   

The book Genealogies and Family History of the State of Connecticut by William R. Cutter (published by Lewis Historical Publishing Company, New York, 1911) provides some information on this family on page 2125[1]:

"(VI) Simon (3), son of Simon (2) Wade, was born November 22, 1767. He married, before 1790, Phebe Horton, born May 7, 1772, and lived at Foster.  Children:  James, born December 10, 1791; Catharine October 12, 1793: Sarah, October 23, 1798; Arnold, June 26, 1800; Olive, September 23, 1802; Miranda, June 25, 1804; Fenner, March 30, 1807; Lawton, mentioned below."

The source for this information is probably Henry Lawton Wade, son of Lawton Wade and grandson of Simon Wade, who is the subject of this biography.

According to the Connecticut book, Simon Wade married Phebe Horton before 1790[1].  They had at least eight children between 1791 and 1810, all probably born in Foster, Rhode Island.

In the 1790 United States Census, Simon Wade, Junior was a head of household listed in Foster town, Providence County, Rhode Island[2].  The household included:

*  1 free white male over age 16
*  1 free white male under age 16
*  1 free white female

Simon Wade Jr. was a head of household in Foster, Providence County, Rhode Island in the 1800 U.S. Census[3].  The household included::

*  1 male aged 10 to 16 years (probably son James (1791-1838), but the age range is wrong)
*  1 male aged 16 to 26 years (perhaps a brother of Simon Wade Jr., or a worked on the farm)
*  1 male over age 45 (it must be Simon Wade (1767-1857), the head of household, but the age range is wrong.
*  1 female aged 0 to 10 years (either daughter Catherine (1793-????) or daughter Sarah (1798-????))
*  1 female aged 26 to 45 years (almost certainly his wife, Phebe (Horton) Wade (1772-????))

In the 1810 United States Census, Simon Wade was a head of household in Foster town, Providence County, Rhode Island[4].  The household included:

*  1 male under age 10 years (probably son Fenner born in 1807)
*  1 male aged 10 to 16 years (probably son Arnold born in 1810)
*  1 male aged 16 to 26 years (probably son James born in 1791)
*  1 male aged 26 to 45 years (probably Simon Wade born in 1767)
*  1 male aged over 45 years (perhaps Simon's father Simon (born in 1731) or a brother or uncle of Simon or Phebe)

*  1 female under age 10 years (probably daughter Miranda born in 1806)
*  1 female aged 10 to 16 years (probably daughter Catherine born in 1793 or daughter Sarah born in 1798)
*  1 female aged 26 to 45 years (probably wife Phebe born in 1772)
*  1 female aged 45 years or over (perhaps Simon's mother or a sister or aunt of Simon's or Phebe's).

In the 1820 United States Census, the Simon Wade family resided in Glocester, Providence County, Rhode Island[5].  The household included:

*   one male under age 10 (probably son Lawton)
*  one male age 10-15 (probably son Fenner)
*  one male age 16-25 (probably son Arnold) 
*  one male over age 45 (certainly Simon Wade)

*  two females age 16 to 25 (probably daughter Miranda)
*  two females age 26 to 45 (probably daughter Olive or Sarah)
*  one female over age 45 (certainly Phebe)

There were no listings for Simon Wade, born about 1767, in the 1830 or 1840 United States Census records.  Perhaps he was enumerated in the household of one of his married children.

In the 1850 United States Census, Simon Wade was in the Lawton Wade household in Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut[6].  The household included:

*  Lawton Wade - age 34, male, a machinist, $100 in real property, born foster, R.I.
*  Aleph Wade - age 37, female, born Killingly, Ct
*  Lewis Wade - age 16, male, born Killingly, Ct.
*  Lucy A. Wade - age 14, female, born Gloucester R.I.
*  Julia A. Wade - age 13, female, born Killingly, Ct.
*  Henry L. Wade - age 8, male, born Bendville R.I., attended school
*  Mary A. Wade - age 4, female, born Killingly, Ct., attended school.
*  Simon Wade - age 82, male, a laborer, born Foster, R.I.

Simon Wade died 26 April 1857 in Killingly, Connecticut at age 89 years, 5 months, of old age.  He was white, a farmer, resided Killingly, born in Foster Rhode Island[7].

No burial record for Simon Wade has been found.
