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

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 - A Favorite Family Photograph

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)  Show us one of your favorite photographs of your family - a group, yourself, your mom, your dad, your sibling(s), your grandparents, etc.  Tell us about it - the date, the event, the setting, the persons in the photograph.


2)  Share it on your own blog, in a comment on this blog, or on Facebook.

Here's mine:

I picked this photograph because it is one of the only four-generation photos I have of my "San Diego" Carringer/Smith/Auble family.

Date:  Late 1919 or early 1920 (because my mother was born in July 1919)

Event:  Perhaps Christmas 1919, New Year's Day 1920, or a special day because everyone is dressed up.

Setting:  In front of my great-grandparents home at 2105 30th Street in San Diego, California (on the northeast corner of 30th Street and Hawthorn Street).  I grew up in this house after it was moved to the middle of the block in the 1920s.

Persons (left to right):

*  Georgianna (Kemp) Auble (1868-1952) - seated on the left, my great-grandmother, mother of Emily Kemp (Auble) Carringer.
*  Mary Ann "Matie" (Smith) (Chenery) Cramer (1866-1922) - standing on the left, daughter of Abigail "Abbie" (Vaux) Smith, sister of Della (Smith) Carringer.
*  Abbie Ardell "Della" (Smith) Carringer (1862-1944) - seated holding the cat, my great-grandmother, wife of Henry Austin Carringer, mother of Lyle Lawrence Carringer
*  Harvey Edgar Carringer (1852-1946) - standing with a hat, brother of Henry Austin Carringer
*  Emily Kemp (Auble) Carringer (1899-1977) - standing, daughter of Georgianna Auble, wife of Lyle Lawrence Carringer and mother of Betty Virginia Carringer
*  Henry Austin Carringer (1853-1946) - seated, holding Betty Virginia Carringer, husband of Della (Smith) Carringer and father of Lyle Lawrence Carringer
*  Betty Virginia Carringer (1919-2002) - seated on Austin Carringer's lap, daughter of Lyle and Emily (Auble) Carringer
*  Lyle Lawrence Carringer (1891-1976) - standing on right with a bow tie, son of Austin and Della (Smith) Carringer, husband of Emily (Auble) Carringer, and father of Betty Virginia Carringer.
*  Abigail A. (Vaux) Smith (1844-1931) - seated on right, mother of Della (Smith) Carringer.

I forgot the cat - he was Buster (????-????).


This photograph has my mother, two grandparents, three great-grandparents, and one 2nd great-grandparent of mine.

Surname Saturday -- LNU (Mary, who married Henry Howland, 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 #2267 who is Mary LNU (1605-1674). [Note: the more recent ancestral families have been covered in earlier posts.]

My ancestral line back through one generation in this LNU 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)

70.  Thomas Dill (1755-1839)
71.  Hannah Horton (1761-1797)

140.  Thomas Dill (1708-1761)
141.  Mehitable Brown (1714-1758)

282.  Samuel Brown (1686-1749)

283.  Ruth Young (1688-1768)

566.  John Young (1649-1718)

567.  Ruth Cole (1651-1735)

1132.  John Young (1624-1691)
1133.  Abigail Howland (1628-1692)

2266.  Henry Howland, born about 1603 in Fenstanton, Huntingdonshire, England; died 01 January 1671 in Duxbury, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.  He married about 1628 in probably Huntingdonshire, England.
2267.  Mary LNU, born about 1605 in Huntingdonshire, England; died 16 August 1674 in Duxbury, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.

Children of Henry Howland and Mary LNU are:
Abigail Howland (1628-1692), married 1648 John Young (1624-1691)
*  Zoeth Howland (1631-1676), married 1657 Abigail LNU (1634-1708).
*  Samuel Howland (1638-1716), married 1673 Mary Samson (1650-1714).
*  John Howland (1641-1687).
*  Mary Howland (1643-1674), married 1665 James Cudworth (1635-1697).
*  Sarah Howland (1645-1712), married 1672 Robert Dennis (1642-1691).
*  Elizabeth Howland (1647-1712), married 1669 Jedidiah Allen (1647-1712).
*  Joseph Howland (1649-1692), married 1683 Rebecca Hussey (1662-1739).

I have no information about Mary LNU.  A note in the FamilySearch Family Tree profile for Mary says "Mary's surname was not Newland."

Information about this Henry Howland family was obtained from:

Robert Charles Anderson, The Great Migration Begins, Immigrants to New England, 1620-1633 (Boston, Mass. : New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1995), Volume II, pages 1016-1019, Henry Howland sketch.
