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

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 - Photographs Through the Generations

Hey genea-folks, 

it's Saturday Night again, 

 time for more Genealogy Fun!

 


Your mission this week, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible music!) , is to:


1)   How many generations do you have photographs or portraits of your ancestors and descendants?  It can be any line...it just can't be broken!

2)  Tell us the line, or better yet, show us the unbroken line.  Provide birth-death years, and the approximate date that the photograph or portrait was made.

3)  Share your generation picture line in a blog post of your own, or in a Facebook post, or in a comment to this post.  

Here's mine:

I think I have photographs for 8 generations of ancestors and descendants.  Here they are:

1)  3rd great-grandfather: John Richman (1788-1867) of Hilperton, Wiltshire, England, taken in the 1860s:



2)  2nd great-grandfather: James Richmond (1821-1912), taken in the 1890s:


3)  First great grandfather: Thomas Richmond (1848-1917), taken in the 1890s:


4)  Grandmother: Alma Bessie (Richmond) Seaver, taken in the 1920s:


5)  Father: Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983), taken in the 1950s:


6)  Myself:  Randall Jeffrey Seaver (1943-????), taken in 2016.


7) and 8)  My descendants, taken in 2018:


That's it!  8 generations, spanning lives over 200 years (150 years of photographs).  I may be able to add another generation in 10-20 years.

Surname Saturday - CROOKE (England to colonial Massachusetts)

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 #2225 who is Elizabeth CROOKE (1618-1669). [Note: the more recent ancestral families have been covered in earlier posts.]

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

1. Randall J. Seaver

2. Frederick Walton Seaver (1911-1983)
3. Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002)

4. Frederick Walton Seaver (1876-1942)
5. Alma Bessie Richmond (1882-1962)

8. Frank Walton Seaver (1852-1922)
9. Hattie Louise Hildreth (1857-1920)

16. Isaac Seaver (1823-1901)
17. Lucretia Townsend Smith (1827-1884)

34.  Alpheus B. Smith (1802-1840)
35.  Elizabeth Horton Dill (1791-1869)

68.  Aaron Smith (1768-1841)
69.  Mercy Plimpton (1772-1850)

138.  Amos Plimpton (1735-1808)
139.  Mary Guild (1735-1800)

278.  Nathaniel Guild (1712-1796)

279.  Mary Boyden (1708-1776)

556.  Nathaniel Guild (1678-1774)
557.  Mehitable Hartshorn (1683-1771)

1112.  Samuel Guild (1647-1730)
1113.  Mary Woodcock (1653-1703)

2224.  John Guild, born about 1616 in England; died 04 October 1682 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States.  He married 24 June 1645 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States.
2225.  Elizabeth Crooke, born about 1618 in England; died 31 August 1669 in Dedham, Norfolk, Massachusetts, United States.

Children of John Guild and Elizabeth Crooke are:
*  John Guild (1646-1649)
Samuel Guild (1647-1731), married 1675 Mary Woodcock (1653-1703)
*  John Guild (1649-1723), married 1677 Sarah Fisher (1658-1714).
*  Eleazer Guild (1653-1655).
*  Ebenezer Guild (1657-1661).
*  Elizabeth Guild (1661-1740), married 1680 George Robinson (1657-1724).
*  Benjamin Guild (1664-1682).

Information about the Guild family was obtained from:

*  Helen Schatvet Ullmann, CG, FASG, "A Line From John Guild of Dedham to Wrentham, Massachusetts, and Beyond," The American Genealogist, Volume 83 (2009), pages 217-222.  

Information about one Crooke family line was obtained from:

*  Leslie Mahler, "The English Origin of Rebecca Crooke, Wife of Peter Gardner of Roxbury, Massachsetts," New England Historical and Genealogical Register, Volume 159, No. 1 (January 2005), pages 40-42.

The article indicates that Rebecca Crooke was the daughter of Roger and Sarah (--?--) Crooke of Hammersmith, Misddlesex, England.  Roger and Sarah had a daughter Elizabeth baptized in 1618, but Elizabeth is not named in Roger's 1639 will in Middlesex.  


I have done no original research on this family line.

New Records Available To Search this Findmypast Friday, 18 January 2019

I received this information from Findmypast today:

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

New Middlesbrough Catholic Records Available To Search this Findmypast Friday

There are more than 7 million new records and newspapers available to search this Findmypast Friday, including: 

England Roman Catholic Parish Baptisms

Over 65,000 exclusive new records covering the Diocese of Middlesbrough have been added to our collection of England Roman Catholic Parish Baptisms. The new additions cover 36 parishes across the county, span the years 1742 to 1917 and are the latest newly digitised records to join the collection which now covers the Dioceses of Westminster, Birmingham and Middlesbrough.
With every result, you will find an image of the original transcript from the diocese archive and a transcript of the pertinent details about your ancestor. The amount of information you find in each record can vary depending on the age of the record, its legibility, and the amount of information recorded by the parish priest at the time of the event. Within most transcripts, you will find the child's baptism date, parish, and the names of both parents. Images may provide additional information about your ancestor such as the names of your ancestor's godparents, the minister who performed the baptism, and residence. Some registers will even include notes about the individual's marriage.

England Roman Catholic Parish Marriages

Over 19,000 exclusive new Diocese of Middlesbrough Sacramental Register entries have been added to our collection of England Roman Catholic Parish Marriages. The new additions cover marriages performed across 28 parishes between 1796 and 1944.
Every record will display the original sacramental register and a transcript of the vital details. The information in each record could vary depending on how much was recorded on the day of the event by the parish priest and the legibility of the records. Most entries will list a combination of the marriage date and location as well as the home parish, parent's names and father's occupation for both the bride and groom.

England Roman Catholic Parish Burials

Over 7,000 new and exclusive records held by the Diocese of Middlesbrough have been added to our collection of England Roman Catholic Parish Burials. The new additions cover burial sites in 22 parishes between 1774 and 1974.

England Roman Catholic Parish Congregational records

Over 47,000 records from the Diocese of Middlesbrough have also been added to our collection of English Catholic Parish Congregational Records. Covering 30 parishes and spanning the years 1743 to 1920, these records will enable you to learn more about your ancestor's relationship with their local parish.
Each record includes both a transcript and an image of the original document. The detail found in each transcript will vary depending on the nature of the document as the collection includes a combination of anniversary books, confirmation lists, congregational lists, lists of benefactors and converts, parish diaries, and more.

United States General Land Office Records 1796-2013

Did your ancestors buy Public Domain land? Search this vast collection of over six million records for land sale documents (patents) and discover the original title and exact parcel of land purchased by your ancestor from the U.S. Federal Government. Each entry includes a transcript and an image of the original document.
The patent records provide a legal description of the land, including the township, county, state, aliquot parts (referring to the size of the lots, evenly divided based on the distances along the edges), meridian (the line of longitude where the lot is located), range, section, and survey number. In addition, the patents include: an ancestor's military service and whether the land was received as a result of such service, the authority by which the land was sold, a specific code number to identify an individual patent (accession), if the patent was cancelled, and if the U.S. government retained any interest or rights in the purchased land (U.S. reservations) or mineral reservations.

National Burial Index for England & Wales

Over 717,000 new records have been added to the National Burial Index. The new additions cover 288 burial places in the historic counties of Co. Durham, Northumberland and Cumberland as well as 656 burials sites across Lincolnshire. Each transcript will list a combination of your ancestor's name, age, death year, burial place, burial date and place of worship.
The project of creating the National Burial Index began in 1994 and was first published in 2001 and contained 5.4 million records. The burial records, derived from parish registers, bishop's transcripts, earlier transcripts or printed registers by local family history society volunteers have continued to grow, so much so that a second edition was published in 2004. The Index currently contains over 11 million records and will continue to receive regular updates.

Middlesex Baptisms 1543-1876

Over 10,000 baptism records covering the parish of All Saints in Iselworth between 1566 and 1783 have been added to the collection.
Each record includes transcribed details from an original record including a combination of your ancestor's birth date or age, baptism date, parish, parent's names, father's occupation and residence.
