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

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 a keyword (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 - What Did Your Father Love To Do?

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) It's Father's Day in the USA on Sunday, so let's talk about our fathers.  

2)  What did your father really like to do in his work or spare time?  Did he have hobbies, or a workshop, or did he like sports, or reading, or watching TV?

3)  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment on this post, or in a Facebook or Google+ post.

Here's mine:

My father, Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983) loved anything to do with sports.  Especially baseball.  He grew up in Leominster, Mass., and played baseball at Leominster High School in the mid-1920s.  He went to Dartmouth College to play baseball, but hurt his knee and dropped out as the Depression hit in the 1930 time frame.  Back in Leominster, he played on several sandlot teams during the 1930s.  His favorite major league team was the Boston Red Sox (of course!).  

After he moved to San Diego in 1940 and got married in 1942, and came back from world War II in 1946, he was a high average ten pin bowler and was on teams in San Diego's most prestigious leagues.  

He would listen to San Diego Padres minor league games on the radio when he could, but I don't think he ever went to see a baseball game in San Diego for some reason - probably because they weren't the Red Sox.

When a Little League was formed in our area in 1956, he signed up to coach a team when my brother Stan was 9 years old.  Soon, he was managing a major league Little League team.  He also volunteered to take care of the two ball fields at Morley Field in Balboa Park, and spent several evenings a week there dragging the fields, cleaning up, watering the sparse grass, etc.  He went on to manage Stan's Pony League and Colt League teams, and then my brother Scott started playing in 1964, and my father managed his teams right through Colt League also.  

The downside was that my father was very competitive and hated to lose at anything, especially baseball games.  He was always trying to get an edge on the opposing manager, which made him fairly unpopular with the other league members.  After cutting two fingers off in a garage accident with a rotary saw, he had to sit out at least one year to recuperate.  

He continued bowling up until the accident also, but eventually cut back the number of leagues to a Friday night league.  Our first vacations in the 1954-1960 time frame were trips to the California State Bowling Tournament sites up and down California, and we did some sightseeing also.  He drove the whole way.  

We got a television in the living room in the mid-1950s, and they started showing baseball Game of the Week and NFL games, and he watched them all.  During the 1950s and 1960s, we watched the Saturday Night fights and even the bullfights in Tijuana on the local Spanish station.  He was a San Diego Chargers fan from their coming to San Diego in 1961, but only watched them when they were on television.  When the Chargers moved into San Diego Stadium in 1968, he bought season tickets and held them until about 1980.  It was a struggle to discuss football strategy and player capabilities with him because my opinion was usually at odds with his.  He liked basketball too, and in the 1970s and early 1980s he would watch the L.A. Lakers games and yell at the announcers, Chick Hearn and Hot Rod Hundley, for any reason at all.  

On the last night of his life, May 26, 1983, we visited him at the hospital (he had prostate problems), and left him to watch the basketball game at around 6:30 p.m. He had a heart attack while watching the game - I've always figured that he went out yelling at Chick Hearn or berating the Lakers for their sloppy play.

Surname Saturday -- LNU (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 #2125 who is Sarah LNU (1624-1665). [Note: the earlier great-grandmothers and 9th great-grandfathers have been covered in earlier posts.]

My ancestral line back through one generation in this LNU family line is:

2124.  Arthur Clark, born about 1620 in Ipswich, Suffolk, England; died 30 October 1665 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.  He married before 1644 in Massachusetts, United States.
2125.  Sarah LNU, born about 1624 in England; died 1665 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.

Children of Arthur Clark and Sarah are:

i. Sarah Clark, born before 10 March 1644 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States; died in

ii. Samuel Clark, born before 01 November 1646 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States; died 30 January 1730 in Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States; married Rachel Nichols (1654-1722) about 1676 in Boston, Suffolk, Massachusetts, United States.

Information about this Clark family was obtained from Massachusetts vital records.  A sketch of Arthur Clark is in:

The FamilySearch Family Tree profile for Sarah LNU says her maiden name was Thayer, according to a MyHeritage tree.  

I have done no original research on this Clark line.

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

New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday

There are over 1.4 million new records available to search this Findmypast Friday, including:

British Armed Forces, First World War Soldiers' Medical Records

Over 691,000 records have been added to our National Archives' collection of medical records from the First World War. These records may allow you to discover when and where your ancestor was wounded, where they were treated how long they were held at the medical facility for treatment. Images may provide a variety of additional details such as their service history and a description of the wound.

The medical records were collected by the Medical Research Committee and then given over to the British Museum during the First World War, 1914 to 1918. The records were used for statistical research. In 1931, Thomas John Mitchell and G M Smith published History of the Great War, based on official documents. Medical services: Casualties and medical statistics of the Great War from the data gathered from these medical records.

United States Deceased Physician File (Ama), 1864-1968 Image Browse

Explore images of the deceased physician card files from the American Medical Association (AMA). The card files contain over 707,000 records and comprise biographic records of deceased physicians in the United States and a few from Canada from 1864 to 1968.

Each record consists of a transcript that may reveal when your ancestor died, where they practiced, where they attended school, where they were living at the time of their death, details relating to their career and their cause of death.

United States Marriages

Over 79,000 additional records have been added to our collection of United States Marriage records. The new additional cover marriages conducted in Indiana between 1818 and 1920.

The collection includes both transcripts and images of original documents that will list a combination of your ancestor's marriage date, location, the names of both the bride and groom, their birthplaces, birth dates, ages, residence and the names of both their parents.

Content married Benjamin Wing  on 18 October 1722 in Dartmouth[2].  Benjamin Wing was the son of Matthew and Elizabeth (Mott) (Ricketson) Wing.  The marriage record in the Dartmouth Vital Record book says:

"WING, Benjamin, s[on]. Matthu of D[artmouth] and Content Tucker, d[aughter]. Abraham of D[artmouth], 18th, 8 mo., 'called October," 1722, C.R.3'"

Benjamin and Content had five children born between 1724 and 1734, all born in Dartmouth and recorded in the town vital records.

Content's father, Abraham Tucker, wrote his will in November 1724, and died in March 1725.  The will mentions Content twice[3]:

"... it is my will that if any of Either of my three daughters Last mentioned shall dye before before she or they come to the age as aforsaid, that then her or their Legcee or Legacies shall be paid in Equall Proportion thereof to the survivors of my Seven Daughters namely Mary Russell, Elizabeth Barker, Sarah Wing, Content Wing Joanah Tucker Ruth Tucker and Hannah Tucker or Their Legal Representatives in case any of them be dead.

"... further my will is yt after all my Debts & above mentioned Legacies Paid & Satisfied then what shall shall be Remaining of my Personall Estate both Stock & household goods & Paper money of any theire may be at my decease not herein above disposed of shall be Equally divided amonst my Seven Daughters yt is Mary Russel Elezebeth Barker Sarah Wing Content Wing Joannah Tucker Ruth Tucker & Hannah Tucker or theire Legall Representatives in case any of them be dead."

This family worshipped in the Society of Friends meeting in Dartmouth.

There is no death or burial record for Content (Tucker) Wing.  She may have died soon after the birth of her last child in 1734, and definitely died before her husband married, secondly, to Rhoda Rogers in October 1739.
