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

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 -- Tell Us About One of Your Grandparents

It's Saturday Night, 

time for more Genealogy Fun!!

For this week's mission (should you decide to accept it), answer the question:

1)  Memories of the ancestors we knew and loved need to be told to the younger generations.  

2)  Tell us about your memories of a grandparent that you knew and loved.  If they all died before you knew them, tell us about a parent or a favorite aunt or uncle.3)  Tell us about it in your own blog post, in a comment on this blog post, or in a post on Facebook.

Here's mine:

I knew my maternal grandparents very well, and they were major influences on me for over 20 years.  My paternal grandparents lived in Massachusetts - my Seaver grandparent died before I was born, and I met my paternal grandmother once when she visited here in San Diego.  

I'm going to write about my grandmother, Emily Kemp (Auble) Carringer (1899-1977).

Emily was born in Chicago on 19 August 1899 to Charles and Georgianna (Kemp) Auble.  They moved to San Diego in about 1911, and lived at 767 F Street near downtown San Diego.  Emily attended San Diego High School, but dropped out to work after her father died in March 1916 after falling down the stairs in their home.  Her mother lived until 1952, and was called "Nana" by my mother.  She lived with Emily the rest of her life.

After her marriage to Lyle Carringer in 1918 in San Diego, Emily was a housewife and mother to my mother, and only child.  She loved gardening and flower arranging. She was a member of the San Diego Floral Association and the Flower Guild Arrangers of San Diego. She entered many floral arrangement competitions and was a master judge of flower arrangements for the National Council of State Gardens Club. She was also a member of the Point Loma Assembly and Ikebana International. 

She was a prim, proper, happy, optimistic, loving, warm and gentle person who enjoyed being with friends and family.  I doubt that she ever uttered a curse word, and was very disappointed when someone else did.  I know...she told me!  She was religious, but never went to church (my grandfather was agnostic, and my mother was also).

Emily suffered a stroke in the 1960's but seemed to recover quickly, and lost quite a bit of weight. She suffered from dementia in the 1970's, and died following a stroke at home on 19 June 1977, and is inurned at Cypress View Mausoleum (Bronze Corridor, Niche 60) in San Diego, CA.

I have so many wonderful memories of, and deep feelings about, this Very Important Person in my life. They include:

* She took care of me daily during World War II (1944 to early 1946) when my father was in the U.S. Navy and my mother was teaching school. She was probably the one who saw my first step, gave me baths, opened my world to reading, and heard my first words. I always felt very close to her, more so than my two brothers did, for this reason.  

* When I was a young boy, Lyle and Emily lived downstairs from us, and I often visited them, went to the Piggly Wiggly store two blocks away with her, and loved playing in her fenced-in gardens by her house. She was the one who supervised our berry picking and lemonade selling ventures.

* When Lyle (Gramp) and Emily (Gram) moved to Point Loma in 1951, their home became our second home. My brothers and I have fond memories of many Christmas Eves spent bedded down in the spare bedroom, singing Christmas carols, and falling asleep before Santa Claus came. We always went to their house on the Fourth of July to watch the fireworks over San Diego Bay.

* She always was interested in my life, and encouraged me to do well in school, to learn about San Diego, and to play fair and do my best. My youth years were not wonderful from a peer standpoint because I was small, wore glasses and was not adept in sports or mechanical things. She was sort of my "secret friend" I could talk to about things.

*  When Linda and I married in 1970, they hosted the family bridal shower and the pre-wedding dinner in their home, and it was a beautiful place.  

* After our marriage, we didn't visit Lyle and Emily as much as before. There were the holiday events, but we were just "too busy" to visit more than occasionally. 

*  When Lyle died in November 1976, we started taking my mother over to the house to help Emily with basic things (my father often refused to go because she would berate him - the dementia) and to check on her. We usually made an outing of it - taking the girls to see their grandmother and great-grandmother. Emily doted on our two little ones, and served us Squirt! and cookies every time - Lori (born in 1974) thought it was great, but Tami was still a baby (born in 1976). It was good for Emily to look forward to these visits, but I feel guilty that we didn't go often enough.  

*  It was on one of these visits that we found her on the floor, near death, after a stroke. The sight is seared in my memory - it was so hard to see this lovely woman in that way. My eyes still tear up over the memory. She died that night in the hospital.

Other than my wife and mother, Emily Kemp (Auble) Carringer was the person I loved the most throughout the first 33 years of my life. 

I so appreciate the legacy that she left me - especially the memories of a life well lived and the wonderfully diverse heritage - mainly colonial 17th century English in Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey, colonial 18th century German immigrants to New Jersey, a small colonial Dutch line in New York and a mystery French Canadian line. Thank you, Gram, for making my life so good and my genealogy work so interesting!

Surname Saturday - DEWEY (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 #2287 who is Margaret DEWEY (1580-1630). [Note: the more recent ancestral families have been covered in earlier posts.]

My ancestral line back through one generation in this DEWEY 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)

142.  Nathaniel Horton (1720-1771)
143.  Eunice Snow (1722-1816)

284.  Samuel Horton (1686-1778)
285.  Hannah Atwood (1686-1771)

570.  Stephen Atwood (1653-1722)
571.  Apphia Bangs (1651-1722)

1142.  Edward Bangs (1591-1677)
1143.  Rebecca Hobart (1611-1655)

2286.  Edmund Hobart, born before 01 January 1574 in Great Snoring, Norfolk, England; died 08 March 1646 in Hingham, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.  He was the son of 4572. Thomas Hobart and 4573. Hellena Winsofer.  He married 07 September 1600 in Hingham, Norfolk, England.
2287.  Margaret Dewey, born about 1580 in Norfolk, England; died before 1634 in probably Hingham, Norfolk, England.

Children of Edmund Hobart and Margaret Dewey are:
*  Nazareth Hobart (1601-1658), married 1630 John Beal (1593-1688).
*  Edmund Hobart (1603-1685), married 1632 Elizabeth Elmer (1608-1675).
*  Peter Hobart (1604-1679), married (1) 1628 Elizabeth Ibrook (1608-1645); (2) 1646 Rebecca Peck (1620-1693).
*  Alice Hobart (1605-1674), married 1631 Thomas Chubbuck (1607-1676).
*  Thomas Hobart (1606-1689), married 1629 Ann Plomer (1610-????).
*  Rebecca Hobart (1611-1677), married 1635 Edward Bangs (1591-1677).
*  Elizabeth Hobart (1612-1660), married 1640 Ralph Smith (1612-1685).
*  Joshua Hobart (1614-1682), married 1638 Ellen Brook (1622-1700).

I have found no information about the parents of Margaret Dewey other than the FamilySearch Family Tree which says they are Constable Robert Dewey (1540-1602) and Margaret Stasye (1549-1608) of Hingham, Norfolk, England. 

Information about the Hobart family was obtained from:

*  Robert Charles Anderson (editor), The Great Migration Begins, Volume II (Boston : NEHGS, 1995) pages 958-960, Edmund Hobart sketch.

I have done no original research for this Hobart or Dewey family.

New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday, 12 April 2019

I received this information from Findmypast today:

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

New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday

We've added over 23,000 new records and over 113,000 newspaper pages this week. They include a sizeable tranche of records from the Southern English county of Devon.

Devon, Port Books

This brand new collection covers ships administered in the Devon ports of Appledore, Barnstaple and Bideford between 1595 and 1705. The records reveal:

·        The names of the ship's masters and merchants

·        The ship's name and the year it was entered in the port book

·        The ship's cargo, tonnage and trade type

These port books are not only valuable from a family history perspective, they also act as evidence of the development of global trade in the 16th and 17th centuries. They were used by different types of customs officials including Collectors, Controllers and Searchers.

Devon Baptisms

Our collection of Devon parish registers (which includes many exclusives you won't find anywhere else online) has grown again. We've added baptism records covering four parish churches in the county:

·        Appledore, Independent Chapel

·        Appledore, Ebenezer Baptist Chapel

·        Appledore, Methodist Chapel

·        Bideford, Methodist Circuit

Baptism records give you the detail behind one of the biggest milestones in your ancestor's early life including where and when they were baptised and their parents' names. The latest additions date back to the 1750s, with much of this collection stretching as far back as the 1500s.

Devon Burials

Our Devon burial records have been supplemented with additions from the parish of Northam. Burial records will usually contain useful family tree information including your ancestor's age at death, where and when they were buried and their religious denomination.

Our dedicated search page allows you to filter by burial and death year, burial place, denomination and archive, making it quick and easy to find what you're looking for.

Devon, Land Tax and Valuation Records

Did your family own a public house or live and work in an orchard? Land tax records could help you find out. New additions from Northam and Clovelly have been added to this collection.

In the records you'll find information on:

·        The land owner's and occupier's names

·        The year or year range that the events were recorded

·        The year the valuation took place

·        The sum of money paid on the property

This unique record collection is available through our ongoing partnerships with the Devon Record Office and the Plymouth & West Devon Record Office.

British & Irish Newspapers

Hot off the press, we've released six brand new publications, including four from Northern Ireland:

·        People's Advocate and Monaghan, Fermanagh, and Tyrone News covering the years 1876-1905

·        North Down Herald and County Down Independent covering the years 1898-1929, 1931-1938

·        County Down Spectator and Ulster Standard covering the years 1904-1912

·        Fermanagh Herald covering the years 1903-1912

·        Acton Gazette covering the years 1886, 1918-1920, 1967-1980

·        Jewish Chronicle covering the year 1896

We've also added more coverage to a further three papers as follows:

·        Reading Evening Post - pages from 1966-1967 and 1977-1979 added

·        Staffordshire Sentinel - pages from 1920-1929 and 1942 added

·        Staines & Ashford News - pages from 1992 added

Honduras Records

Our burgeoning global record collection has grown again with the release of two sets of vital records from the Central American nation of Honduras:

·        Honduras Baptism Index 1730-1930

·           Honduras Marriage Index 1800-1910

These collections, part of the International Genealogical Index, will help you track your ancestors if they settled in or hailed from Honduras.
