Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Your Grandmother Memories

 It's Saturday Night - 

time for more Genealogy Fun! 


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

1)  I found this on Facebook:

2)  Write your own blog post, or add your response as a comment to this blog post, in a Facebook Status post or note.

Here's mine:

I had two grandmothers.  I only met my paternal grandmother, Alma Bessie Richmond) Seaver (1882-1962) one time, when she visited us in California in 1958, and I had little time with her, but I was age 14.  So I missed out on "knowing" here.  

My maternal grandmother, Emily Kemp (Auble) Carringer (1899-1977) was in my life from the very beginning.  After my birth in 1943, my father went into the U.S. Navy in 1944.  My mother and I moved back into her parents home at 2130 Fern Street in San Diego, and my grandmother "Gram" took care of me while my mother worked.  She changed my diapers, fed me, clothed me, talked and sang to me, read to me, saw my first step, saw my first potty, and many more events that I am not aware of.  In short - she loved me and cared for me.  I knew that my whole life.

What I most remember about Gram was Christmas Eves.  In the 1950s, we spent Christmas Eve at my grandparents house on Point Loma because they had a chimney (for Santa!), a big fireplace (room for gifts), and their garage was the storage are before Christmas for the presents from them and my parents (prying eyes of little boys!).  There were only two bedrooms, so my brother and I got one of them.  At bedtime on Christmas Eve, Gram would get us in our pajamas and then we would sing Christmas Carols for awhile.  She knew them all and her mellifluous voice put us to sleep to dream of sugar plums, Davy Crocket coonskin hats, flexible flyers, bicycles, BB guns, and much more.  There they were on the fireplace hearth on Christmas mornings, and we would go out and play with them on the street until breakfast, then more gift opening (clothes, smaller toys, etc.) after breakfast.

I have tears in my eyes remembering this sweet, innocent and loving person in my life.  She had always been a Christian, and my grandfather was not (until his deathbed when I tried to minister to him in the hospital), and my parents did not practice any religion.

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

My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED, and to alphabetize the entries in each category.  Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!

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: Discover Caribbean Ancestors and More

 I received this information from Findmypast today:

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


Discover Caribbean ancestors and more this Findmypast Friday 

 

Findmypast adds records for St Vincent, British naturalisation records and Norfolk cemetery records  

St Vincent, St George’s baptisms 1765-1820 

 Brand new to Findmypast this week are around 3,400 baptism records for St Vincent’s most populous parish. The transcriptions usually provide the baptism date, name, and the parents’ names. You may also learn details such as occupations, race and social status. Some language in this collection reflected attitudes of the time and is now understood to be derogatory.

St Vincent, St George’s marriages 1765-1820 

 This next new collection has around 1,500 marriages. You might also spot your British military ancestors marrying in St Vincent around this time. Explore the names of the bride and groom, their residences and the marriage date. 

Britain, Naturalisations 1844-1990 

 There are nearly 100,000 records to explore in this new collection. Each transcript contains basic details from a person’s naturalisation certificate. The detail varies, but normally contains: a name; age or date of birth; names of parents; children or spouses; place of origin; and residence. 

Norfolk, Churchyard Graves and Memorial Inscriptions 

 Not only have we added a further 140,000 records into this collection, but we’ve now made it fully searchable. Thanks to photographer and Norfolk resident Louise Cocker, those with Norfolk roots can now search and explore headstones of their ancestors. 


Over 50,000 additional newspaper pages have been added to the newspaper archive this week, including updates to two Welsh titles. 

 Updated titles: 

  •  Bedfordshire on Sunday, 1990 
  • Birkenhead News, 1992
  • Birmingham Journal, 1842-1843 
  • Buckinghamshire Examiner, 1991 
  • Cambridge Daily News, 1995 
  • East Grinstead Observer, 1980 
  • East Kent Gazette, 1905 
  • Glamorgan Gazette, 1955-1958, 1960-1971, 1973-1975, 1977-1979 
  • Harlow Star, 1988 
  • Harrow Observer, 1987 
  • Hertford Mercury and Reformer, 1987 
  • Llanelli Star, 1991 
  • Neath Guardian, 1990 
  • Retford, Gainsborough & Worksop Times, 1967 
  • Rugeley Times, 1985 
  • Runcorn Weekly News, 1996 
  • Solihull Times, 1997 
  • Southall Gazette, 1993 
  • Torbay Express and South Devon Echo, 1951
