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

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.

I note that there are 14 ADDED collections in the list above, and 1 removed, for a total of 10 added.  However, the FamilySearch web page shows only 7 added since last week's post.  It looks like some of the ADDED collections on last week's list are on this week's list.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Tell a Story About Your Mother

It's Saturday Night - 

time for more Genealogy Fun! 

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

1)  Tomorrow is Mother's Day in the United States, so let's celebrate that!

2)  Tell us a story about your mother's life - what did she do during her days while you were growing up?  Did she work outside the home?  Did she volunteer for a school or organization?  What hobbies or interests did she have?  It can be any time in your childhood and school years.

3)  Write your own blog post about it, or write a comment on this post, or write a Facebook post.  

Here's mine:

My mother didn't work outside the home while I was a child or a teenager (the 1950s and early 60s).  My parents were very traditional - my father worked for a salary as a Prudential life insurance agent, and my mother worked in the home doing the shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry, beautifying, tending to her husband and three boys, etc.  The housework always seemed to get done with a minimum of fuss and, considering how rambunctious the four males in the house were, managed to keep us and the house presentable.  I know that she worked her butt off to make this happen.

In the 1950s, we had a stove, a sink, a refrigerator but no freezer (I remember an icebox down in the garage for ice), and a washing machine in the kitchen.  We lived in an upstairs apartment in San Diego (18 steps up as I recall) with enclosed front steps and open back steps off a small landing.  The laundry was hung on a line to dry off the back porch.  The one bathroom had a bathtub (no shower until about 1965), a sink, and a toilet (for all 5 of us - did I mention four males?).

My mother kept us dressed, cleaned, fed, taught, disciplined and loved.  She enjoyed seeing us excel in school and in sports, and kept on top of our homework and commitments.  We spent a lot of time outside on the block and in the nearby park, which gave her the time to do her jobs.  The four males in her life didn't help a whole lot with her tasks, as I recall.  

She learned to cook what my father liked - fried egg sandwiches, vermicelli on eggs and toast, and a number of other special dishes.  Breakfast was usually cereal and milk, with pancakes, eggs and bacon on the weekends.  Lunches were baloney or peanut butter sandwiches with cookies and fruit.  Dinners were meat (chops, ham, chicken, ground beef, hot dogs), mashed potatoes, and vegetables, with dessert (ice cream, cake, pie).  We always had fruit, cookies and crackers in the house for snacks. 

Mom went shopping almost every day because we didn't have a freezer and the food didn't have a lot of preservatives to keep it fresh.  For years we had milk delivered by a milkman on the doorstep in the morning.  She walked to the store, and carried the groceries home in a bag or basket.  The Piggly Wiggly two blocks away was the preferred store until it closed and the Safeway was built across the street kitty-corner from our block.

Mom never learned how to drive a car, so we only had one car and my father drove it for his work.  She would take the bus downtown or up to North Park to the department stores and specialty shops.

We either walked to school or rode our bikes (it was 8 blocks away).  Mom volunteered at the school with artwork for projects and assemblies.  She must have walked to and from the school.

My mother was an artist.  In the early 1950s, after Stan and I started in school, she would get picked up once a month by my father's cousin, Dorothy, and they would go off and paint scenery with watercolors.  She bought a kiln, and started doing copper enamel wall pieces.  The kiln was in the sun room where she would work and enjoy her art interest.  Then my brother Scott was born in 1955, and the baby took our bedroom, and Stan and I moved into the sun room, and the kiln went into garage storage until the late 1960s.  After Stan went into the Air Force and I moved out into an apartment in the late 1960s, the kiln came back to the sun room and she was able to create art gallery quality copper enamel pieces.  

Youth baseball was a great thing for my mother.  Little League started in 1956, and my father managed teams up until about 1973.  I never played, but my two brothers played Little League (age 8-12), Pony League (13-14) and Colt League (15-16).  Dad took us to the ball field for practice and league games in the spring and early summer, and that left Mom some free time to read, do some artwork.  She came to some of the games, helped in the concession stand, and was always encouraging to her sons and their teammates.  

She had several friends in the neighborhood.  In addition to the ladies who rented the five Carringer-owned apartments on the block, there were several ladies within walking distance that she visited on a regular basis.  They drank coffee and had snacks, and perhaps some wine, and chatted about their children, and spouses.  After Stan and I became teenagers, and Scott started school, she started having a little sherry in the afternoon to relax and relieve stress, but she had to sneak the bottle in because my father was vehemently against drinking alcohol.  We all knew about it.

All in all, my mother was a classic 1950s mom - taking care of her children and her husband, getting the necessary tasks done efficiently, and finding some time to nurture herself and her interests.  She was a wonderful mother!!!

Information about the Lumpkin family was obtained from several derivative source books about the family and collateral families.  There is a will in Plymouth Colony records for William Lumpkin that names his children and their spouses in 1668. 

I have done no original research for this Lumpkin family.

New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday, 10 May 2019

I received this information from Findmypast today:

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

     

New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday

There are over 526,000 new records and newspapers available to search this Findmypast Friday, including:

Daughters of the American Revolution Lineage Books, 1890 – 1921

Explore lineage books consisting of information submitted by tens of thousands of individuals with connections to Revolutionary War patriots. First formed in 1890 in Washington DC, The Daughters of the American Revolution is dedicated to the preservation of American Revolutionary War genealogies. This database, containing over 57,000 references to Revolutionary War ancestors and their descendants, will reveal birth years, relative's names, family lineages and descriptions of American revolutionaries. Some records may even include a photo or sketch of a veteran or member.

The DAR acknowledges those who signed the Declaration of Independence, veterans of the Revolutionary War, civil servants of the provisional or State governments, signers of the Oath of Allegiance or Oath of Fidelity and Support, participants in the Boston Tea Party, prisoners of war, refugees, doctors and nurses, as well as others who assisted the Revolutionary cause.

Scotland, Wigtownshire & Minnigaff Parish Lists 1684

Search for your Scottish ancestors in parish lists containing over 53,000 names. First published in 1916 by the Scottish records society, the lists consist of "nominal Rolls of all persons, male or female, over the age of 12 years, resident within their respective parishes - grouped according to their residences, farms and house-holds, and specially indicating such as were "irregular," that is non-conforming".

Philadelphia Roman Catholic Parish Baptisms

Over 53,000 new records have been added to our exclusive collection of Philadelphia Catholic Baptisms. Each record includes both a transcript and an image of the original register entry that will reveal a combination of your ancestor's birth date, baptism date, baptism place, residence and parent's names.

Additional information that you may find from the images include place of birth, sponsors, minister who performed the ceremony, and notice of marriage. Catholic priests were charged with noting all vital events of their parishioners. If, for instance, a parishioner married outside her home parish, the priest who performed the marriage would contact her priest to confirm she was baptised and to share the details of her marriage, hence the marriage notice in the baptism register.

Philadelphia Roman Catholic Parish Marriages

Over 30,000 new additions are now available to search. Spanning the years 1800 to 1917, each new record includes a transcript and an image of the original sacramental register that will reveal a combination of the couple's names, birth years, marital status and parents' names as well as the date and location of their wedding.

Additional information that you may find from the images includes dates and locations of the couples' baptisms. Catholic priests were charged with keeping records of such vital events for their parishioners. This means that on a baptism record, for example, a later marriage would be noted as well. If the image attached to your ancestor's transcript is actually from a baptism register, this explains why. If a spouse's name was not transcribed, be sure to check the image, as the name was likely included on the original register.

Lincolnshire Parish Records

Over 266,000 additional records have recently been added to our collections of Lincolnshire parish baptisms, banns, marriages and burials.

Including images of original registers held at the Lincolnshire Archives dating back to the early 1500s, these records are an excellent resource for uncovering previous generations and tracing your roots beyond the start of Civil Registration in 1837.

Also joining us this week are two further regional publications, Herefordshire title the Kington Times, and Somerset title the Bridgewater Journal.
