Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Your Ancestral Family Migration Map

 It's Saturday Night - 

Time for more Genealogy Fun! 

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

This SNGF is based on the Migration map that my friend J. Paul Hawthorne made on Facebook on 18 November.  He used Birth dates and Places for his paternal line. 

1)  For this week's SNGF, make your own migration map for whichever surname or ancestral line you want.  Use a World Map or a country map.  Choose birth, marriage, death, or migration year to put the spots on the map and label them with the year.

2)  Share your map with all of us by writing your own blog post, writing a comment on this blog post, or put it in a Facebook post.  Please leave a comment on this post so others can find it.

Here's mine:  

FYI - I downloaded a map from google Images, copied it into Powerpoint, and drew the lines and added the years in Powerpoint, then used the Windows Snipping Tool to save the map as a PNG file to show in this post.  You can do this any way you want, but that process was easiest for me to do!

I chose to do the year of migration to a new place from the previous place.  

a)  Here is my SEAVER surname (my paternal line) places migration map:

Robert Seaver came to Roxbury, Massachusetts from England in 1634.  My ancestral SEAVER families  moved all around northeastern Massachusetts (Sudbury in 1687, Shrewsbury in 1760, Westminster in 1773, Leominster in 1870) until my father got in his car in December 1940 in Leominster and drove to San Diego, California.  

b)  Here is my CARRINGER surname (my maternal line)  places migration map:

For the CARRINGER line, I don't know where or when the immigrant came from Germany, but Martin Carringer (1758-1835) obtained land in Mercer County, Pennsylvania in 1795.  His son, Henry Carringer (1800-1879) moved his family to Louisa County, Iowa in 1858.  His son, David Jackson Carringer (1828-1902) moved his family to Boulder, Colorado in 1873.  His son, Henry Austin Carringer (1853-1946) moved to San Diego on his honeymoon in 1887, and the family never left.

Thank you, J. Paul, for the idea and inspiration.

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

My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, provides this list to me from a program he wrote that compares the current FamilySearch record collections list to the previous week's list.

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.

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.

Findmypast Friday: Search Over 22 Million New U.S. Records

  I received this from Findmypast today:

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

Search over 22 million new US records this Findmypast Friday

From obituary notices spanning all 50 states, to a focused collection documenting marriages not previously recognised during the slave trade, there is plenty to discover in our latest US update.

United States Obituaries Notices

Search over 22 million new additions to discover your ancestor’s name, birth and death years, and obituary text. Now containing over 79 million records, this vast collection covers all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico and provides valuable details for tracking down an ancestor's death record or full obituary.

This collection has been obtained from the tributes.com and currentobituary.com websites. Additional information such as images and details about the records can be found on the source’s website.

United States, Freedmen’s Bureau Marriages

Explore almost 40,000 marriages from the Reconstruction Era documented by the Freedmen's Bureau, including those which occurred during slavery that went unrecognized and those occurring immediately after Emancipation.

Formally, The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandon Lands, existed to help transition and offer aid to the now 4,000,000 freed African Americans across the country after the abolition of slavery. This agency is known commonly as “The Freedmen’s Bureau” in the United States and existed from 1865-1872.

These fascinating records consist of marriage registers, marriage certificates, marriage licenses and other proofs of marriages. While the amount of information varies, you will commonly find the following information:

• ·Names of the couple

•  Date of marriage

•  Location of marriage

•  Ages of the couple

•  Names of witnesses

Newspapers

This week’s Findmypast Friday marks yet another milestone for Findmypast’s newspaper collection with over 46 million pages published online to date.
