Calling all Genea-Musings Fans:
It's Saturday Night again -
Time for some more Genealogy Fun!!
Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible! music) is to:
1) Sometimes an ancestor or relative just disappears out of the records and we cannot find another record after a certain date.
2) Tell us about one or more of your relatives or ancestors that have disappeared and not been found since a certain date. Do you have any idea of what might have happened to them?
3) Share information about your disappearing relative or ancestor in a blog post of your own, in a comment to this blog post, or in a Facebook comment.
Here's mine:
On the Ancestor chart, my 3rd great-grandfather #60 Abraham Kemp (1795-after 1881) is in the 1881 Canada Census residing in Norfolk County, Ontario at age 85. I have found no death record, land record, probate record, burial record or newspaper record for him in any of the online databases. He is not in the 1891 Canada Census. I figure that he died sometime in the 1880s, probably in Norfolk County, Ontario, but I don't know for sure.
On the Relative front, I don't know the death date or death place for my great-granduncle, William A. Auble, born 1845, brother of my great-grandfather Charles Auble (1849-1916). He was last noted in the 1880 United States Census in Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana with his wife Mary (Thompson) Auble. Mary is in Danville, Illinois in the 1900 census listed as divorced, and marries again in 1901 in Danville. William may have died between 1881 and before 1900 in Indiana or Illinois, but I have not found a death record, burial record, newspaper record or probatre record for him.
There are many more in both the Relative and Ancestor fronts in the families of the 4th great-grandparents and earlier.
