Monday Genea-Pourri - 22 October 2018

Here are some of my family history and genealogy related activities over the past week:

1)  Moderated the Chula Vista Genealogical Society DNA Interest Group meeting on Wednesday at the library, which had 30 attendees.  I presented the science part of my Autosomal DNA presentation, took several surveys of the attendees, and then asked for issues that the group wanted to discuss in future sessions.  To help members with adoptee issues, I asked for advice on Facebook and received excellent responses.

2) Found the Mayflower Society application that a reader filled out for me some time ago, and found it in my Downloads folder.  Sent it to my cousin as an example that she could use along with her own data.  Sorted out my Downloads folder a bit, putting useful files into my Genealogy file folders;this is a never-ending tasks and I need to do it consistently and regularly.

3)  A Facebook friend recommended a "Seaver Clan" Facebook page, so I liked it, and found several useful Seaver lines there.  One in particular uncovered a long Seaver line, which I added to my RootsMagic tree.  I try to add the lines of my Seaver Facebook friends so I can help them if they wish.

4)  Transcribed another deed for Amanuensis Monday - 1813 Deed of Shobal C. Allen to Zachariah Hildreth Jr. in Townsend, Mass. today.  I downloaded several more of these deeds but I need to download more of them.

5)  Participated in today's Mondays With Myrt webinar, and discussed the CVGS DNA Interest Group from last week. We also discussed the Facebook Story feature, the NARA Virtual Genealogy Fair on 24 October, many new books, Valerie and Myrt's excellent adventure to Europe, DNA testing issues and open source problems, record privacy laws, the DAR application, FindMyPast new records, and the IGI.

6)  Watched Blaine Bettinger's YouTube video on Why Do I Share Different Amounts of DNA?   and several webinars in the Pirates of the Pedigree virtual conference.

7) There were several sessions working in RootsMagic to update FamilySearch Family Tree profiles for Seaver families and other database families, with occasional additions to the RootsMagic profiles. I have matched 26,579 of my persons with FSFT.  I continue to use Web Hints from Ancestry, MyHeritage, Findmypast and FamilySearch to add content and sources to my RootsMagic profiles.  I now have 50,989 persons in my RootsMagic file, and 96,727 source citations.   I TreeShared thrice during the last week, and resolved over 200 Ancestry Hints.  I've fallen behind on the Ancestry Record Hints with 80,006 waiting to be resolved, but I work on them occasionally.

8)  Have 309 Shared Ancestors on my AncestryDNA list (I had 310 last week), 1010 4th cousins or closer (I had 1006 last week), and 911 pages (over 45,500 matches with at least 6 cM) (was 909 pages last week) of  matches.  I have 23 DNA Circles (was 23 last week).  I have 16 matches that are third cousins or closer (was 16 last week), and 103 matches with 34 cM (0.5%) or more (was 103 last week).  My highest match has 779 cM (11.5%), and is one of my first cousins.  Added more notes to my DNA matches.

9)  Have 4,837 DNA Matches on MyHeritage (up from 4,782 last week) with at least 8 cM (0.12%), with 30 matches with more than 34 cM (0.5%) or more (was 30 last week).  I have three close relatives, including a first cousin once removed, and two first cousins twice removed.  The highest DNA match is 512 cM (7.1%).

10)  Have 1,001 DNA Relatives on 23andMe (I had 994 last week) who share at least 0.10% (7 cM) with me.  The two closest relatives are third cousins.  Of these, only 3 share 1.0% or more, and 50 share 0.50% or more (was 49 last week), with the highest match being 1.54%. My highest match is an adoptee.  I struggle to find out anything about most of these testers.

11)  Have 2,823 autosomal DNA Matches on FamilyTreeDNA (up from 2,819 last week) who share 0.25% (18 cM) or more, with the highest match being 96 cM (1.42%).  I have 12 who share at least 1.0% (68 cM) with me, and 1,517 who share at least 0.50% (34 cM) or more (was 1,516 last  week) with me.

12) Wrote 18 Genea-Musings blog posts last week, of which two were press releases.  The most popular post last week was "Seavers in the News -- Charles Seaver Dies in 1939 in Santa Maria, California" with over 450 views.

The source citation for this recorded deed is:

"Massachusetts, Land Records, 1620-1986," digital images, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints,FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org : accessed 21 October 2018), Middlesex County, "Deeds, 1814-1816, Vols. 209-211," Volume 209, pages 187-188 (images 99-100 of 885), Deed of Shobal C. Allen to Zachariah Hildreth Jr., executed 1 November 1813, recorded 30 July 1814.

This is the first deed where Zachariah Hildreth Junior bought land in Townsend, Massachusetts from someone other than his father, Zachariah Hildreth Sr.  With this deed, he bought two parcels of land in the southerly part of Townsend, one with fifty acres and the other with 7.5 acres, for $300, along with a $200 mortgage on the first parcel.  There is a second deed on pages 188-189 that I will transcribe next week. 

Zachariah Hildreth Jr. (1783-1857) is my third great-grandfather, who married Hannah Sawtell (1789-1857) in 1810.  I am descended through their son, Edward Hildreth (1831-1899) who married Sophia Newton (1834-1923).

============================================

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to  https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

My friend, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED.  Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link).  It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - How Did You Get to School?

Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

 It's Saturday Night again - 

time for some more Genealogy Fun!!

Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):

1)  How did you get to your school(s) through high school?

2)  Tell us in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or on Facebook or Google+.  Please leave a comment on this post with a link to your post.

Here's mine:

Like most students in San Diego, I went to three schools in my time as a student before high school graduation - Elementary school (grades K-6), Junior High (grades 7-9), and High School (grades 10-12).

I think my mother walked me the 8 blocks on 30th Street downhill to Brooklyn Elementary School my first two years at school, and probably walked again to pick me up after school.  I don't remember.  By the time I was 7 or 8, I walked to school by myself or with friends.  For 4th to 6th grade, I'm sure that I rode my bicycle down and back.  The blocks were relatively short and it was no more than 10 minutes each way.

When I went to Theodore Roosevelt Junior High (Park Blvd and Upas - about 3 miles away), I rode the school bus to school every morning.  It was a special city bus just for Roosevelt.  The stop was at 30th and Ivy on our block.  In 8th grade, I had a problem with bullies on the bus ride home, so I quit riding the school bus home.  So I went "the other way" - down Park Blvd to Broadway (on the 7 Route) and then east on Broadway to 30th and Ivy (on the 2 Route).  This worked out pretty well because I could stop at the downtown San Diego Library and read or study.  I was a bookworm.

In 10th Grade, I went to San Diego High School at Park Blvd and Russ Blvd near downtown San Diego.  I rode the city bus Route 2 down and back, usually getting off at 12th and Broadway and walking the five blocks to the school.  I continued to frequently go to the library to read and study before going home, and visited the magazine reading room every week to check on the Billboard Top 100 songs.   I knew the bus schedules well, and occasionally walked the three miles home from school along the bus route.  I figured that if I made it to the halfway point (about 28th and B Street), that I didn't need to spend the dime fare for the rest of the way.

I will add my college travel too.  I started San Diego State University in September 1961, and took the bus all the way from my block to the college.  I took the Route 2 north to El Cajon Blvd, the E route east to College Avenue, and the S route north to the college.  By the time I was a Junior, I was trying to schedule my classes for three days a week so as to save the time and money.  I don't think I rode with any other student these 4.5 years.  

I even took the bus to my two summer jobs (Point Loma and La Mesa) and my first permanent job in La Mesa.  I had to walk over a mile to get to the work site and back to the bus stop.

I did not have a car until after I graduated from college.  My father had the only car, and my mother didn't drive, and I don't recall my father ever offering to drive me or actually picking me up from school.  I finally got my first car - a 1962 Chevrolet Impala - in late 1966 after taking driving lessons from a company.   Finally, I had some freedom at age 23.  Heh.

Surname Saturday -- CRISPE (England to colonial New England)

It's Surname Saturday, and I'm "counting down" my Ancestral Name List each week.

I am working in the 9th great-grandmothers by Ahnentafel number, and I am up to Ancestor #2171 who is Elizabeth CRISPE (1637-1681). [Note: the earlier great-grandmothers and 9th great-grandfathers have been covered in earlier posts.]

My ancestral line back through two generations in this GIBSON family line is:

1. Randall J. Seaver
