Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Celebrate Mother's Day - Show Us Some Photos

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) Sunday, 11 May is Mother's Day in the USA. Let's celebrate it by showing some of our photos with our mother.

2) Extra credit: What did you call your mother during her life? What did your children call your mother?

3) More extra credit: Have you written a biography or tribute to your mother? If so, please share a link if you have one.

4) Share your photo(s) on your own blog post or in a Facebook or SubStack or BlueSky post. Leave a link on this blog post to help us find your Mom photos.

Here's mine:

1) Mom photos

a) A baby picture - me and mom (probably in late 1943):

b) A pre-wedding photo - me and Mom in 1970:

c) Betty and her family in 1976 (Randy, Betty, Scott, Fred, Stanley):

d) My family in 1985 (Linda, Lori, Mom, Tami, Randy):

e) Mom and her three sons in 2001 (Randy, Stan, Scott, Mom):

2) I think I called my mother "Mom" all of her life. Perhaps a "Muh-ther" once in awhile when I was exasperated. My daughters called her "Nana," as did the other grandchildren.

3) I enjoyed every day with my mother from 1943 to 2002. You can read my tribute to her in Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - A Tribute to Your Mother. A genealogical sketch for her is My Mother -- Betty Virginia (Carringer) Seaver (1919-2002) of San Diego, California. The AI-created "Beautiful Betty" poem and song are in "Beautiful Betty" - Genealogy Poems and Song Created by Artificial Intelligence.

Trying Out Ancestry.com's New Document Transcription Tool

Ancestry.com announced that they have a new Document Transcription Tool in beta development in Ancestry Launches Document Transcription Feature on 30 April 2025. The blog post describes the Ancestry transcription process, which uses artificial intelligence tools:

Upload a document image to the Gallery of a Person Profile in an Ancestry Member Tree.
Fill in the document information panel requesting a category, a date, a location, and a description.
Click on the Transcribe button on the left-hand panel side of the document and wait for the transcript to appear in the right-hand panel.

The transcription feature in the Ancestry blog post focuses on handwritten letters or documents, and does not mention other types of handwritten documents like wills, deeds, birth, marriage and death certificates, etc.

1) What should I test it on? I know from the samples shown on the Ancestry blog post that it can read handwritten letters in English and Spanish. What about the handwritten land and probate records in English from colonial times? I have lots of them!

I have been testing this tool for one week on deeds, wills, and vital records, with mixed results. As my readers know, I have a wealth of probate and land records from early colonial times to the present time in my computer files obtained and downloaded from Ancestry, FamilySearch, American Ancestors, and from FamilySearch microfilm (and recently using the FamilySearch Full-Text Search transcription feature). Many of them are transcribed for my own use and published in my weekly Amanuensis Monday series on Genea-Musings.

2) My first attempt was with a handwritten land record of Michael Metcalf that I transcribed (with AI-assistance from Full-Text Search) in Amanuensis Monday -- 1761 Deed of Michael Metcalf to William Woods for Land in Cheshire County, New Hampshire Colony (dated 14 April 2025). I cropped the two-page deed image to the one page with the deed of interest and saved it to a JPG file to upload to the Gallery for Michael Metcalf (1706-1771).

3) Here is the Gallery page for Michael Metcalf (1706-1771) in my Ancestry Member Tree:

To make the document transcription work, I have to click on the document image, and that opens the document description in the right-hand panel of the screen:

I have filled out the "Edit details" panel and then Saved it. I have to go back to the Gallery and click on the image and that shows:

The "Transcribe" button is in the upper left area of the left-hand panel.

I clicked on the "Transcribe" button and saw, after about one minute:

The right-hand panel says "There was a network error or the transcription service is down. Please try again later."

I have tried the same task for the last six days with the same result. I doubt that there was a network error all six days. So it must be a transcription problem. Is the deed too difficult to read? Perhaps - FamilySearch struggled with it.

4) For my 2nd attempt, I tried the 1728 marriage record of Michael Metcalf and Melatiah Hamant in the Medway, Massachusetts record book, which is also on the Gallery page, and the transcription worked almost perfectly:

That worked almost perfectly...it did both pages shown on the image. However, the transcription cutoff before the end of the right-hand page. The marriage record for Michael and Melatish (Hamant) Metcalf is the last entry on the right-hand page and was not transcribed.

I did the second transcription above right after the first attempt at the deed. So there was probably no "Network error" when I attempted the first transcription.

I did a two-page (on one image) 1826 will transcription with very clear and neat handwriting for another person profile after these first two attempts, and it worked, but also cutoff the last portion of the will text.

5) My tentative conclusion is that the Ancestry document transcription tool works for some (many?) documents but perhaps not for difficult to read handwriting. It may have some sort of character or word limit that results in an incomplete transcription.

Ask AI: "Please Write a Romantic Poem From Charles Auble to Georgianna Kemp in 1897."

Records indicate that my great-grandparents Charles Auble (1849-1916) and Georgianna Kemp (1868-1952) married in 1898 after meeting each other in Chicago, and that he wooed her with flowers and poems.

1) The prompt for the free AI tools was: "Charles Auble (1849-1916) met and romanced Georgianna Kemp (1868-1952) in 1897 in Chicago, and they married in 1898 in Milwaukee. The family story says he romanced her with flowers and poems. Please write a romantic poem from Charles to Georgianna in an 1890s style."

2) Here is the X Grok 3 romantic poem:

To My Dearest Georgianna
By Charles, 1897

O fairest bloom in Chicago’s bright throng,
Thy grace doth inspire my heart’s tender song.
Like roses that blush in the morning’s first dew,
My soul finds its haven, sweet lady, in you.

The lake’s gentle ripples sing soft of thy name,
Each wavelet a whisper to kindle love’s flame.
Thy eyes, twin bright stars in the heavens of day,
Do guide my poor heart lest it wander astray.

In gardens of fancy, I gather for thee
The lily’s pure white and the violet’s decree.
Yet no flower so lovely, no blossom so rare,
As thou, my Georgianna, with beauty to spare.

O let me, dear heart, with devotion sincere,
Pledge love that shall deepen with each passing year.
As ivy clings fast to the oak’s mighty frame,
So I to thy side, ever true, stake my claim.

Say, wilt thou be mine, in Milwaukee’s embrace?
With thee, every moment shall glow with sweet grace.
My pen, like my heart, lays its tribute at last—
To Georgianna, my future, my present, my past.

Grok noted: "This poem uses the florid language, nature imagery, and romantic idealism typical of the 1890s, with references to flowers (roses, lilies, violets) to echo the family story of Charles wooing Georgianna with blooms. The mention of Chicago and Milwaukee grounds it in their courtship’s setting, while the formal tone and structure reflect the era’s poetic conventions."

3) Here is the Claude 3.7 Sonnet poem:

To Miss Georgianna Kemp
Chicago, April 1897

Fair Georgianna, vision of delight,
Whose gentle beauty haunts my dreaming heart,
Like tender blossoms opening to the light,
So doth your presence sweeter thoughts impart.

When first we met, 'twas winter's cold embrace
That held Chicago in its frost and snow,
Yet spring eternal bloomed upon your face,
And warmed this soul that longed to love you so.

The lake's vast waters shimmer in the sun,
As changeable as fortune's fickle ways,
But steadfast as the stars when day is done,
My love shall follow you through all your days.

These humble flowers I lay before your feet,
Cannot compete with nature's fairest rose—
For in your countenance, so pure and sweet,
A beauty far surpassing them yet grows.

Though I have lived near half a century now,
My heart beats quick as any youth's might do;
Before love's altar I do gladly bow,
And pledge my life's remaining years to you.

Milwaukee beckons as our promised land,
Where we might build a home of joy and peace.
I offer you my heart, my soul, my hand—
A love that time shall only yet increase.

With deepest affection and sincerest admiration,
Charles Auble

Claude noted: "This poem captures the romantic sentiments Charles might have expressed to Georgianna during their courtship in 1897. I've incorporated several elements authentic to the late Victorian period:

Formal, elevated language with classical structure
References to nature and flowers (which were important in Victorian courtship)
Mentions of their specific locations (Chicago and Milwaukee)
Acknowledgment of their age difference (Charles was 48 and Georgianna 29 when they met)
A proper, respectful tone with deep sentiment underneath

The poem reflects the earnest, somewhat elaborate romantic style of the era, when handwritten poems were treasured as heartfelt expressions of devotion.

4) I love this kind of stuff! This is pure genealogy fun for me. I think I like the Claude poem better.

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

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!

Marshall notes that there are:

0 removed entries
1 added entries
83 updated entries
39 entries with more or fewer images
8 entries with more or fewer records

The FamilySearch website says there are 3408 total entries on the list (without signing in). Marshall's list says there are 3408 (without signing in). They are in-sync this week.

52 Relatives: 2nd Great-GrandUncle John Alfred Oatley (1815-1863) of Rhode Island and Connecticut

John Alfred Oatley was born on 15 January 1815, in South Kingstown, Washington County, Rhode Island, the first child of Rev. Jonathan Oatley and Amy Champlin.[1-2] The Jonathan Oatley family moved to East Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut in about 1834 from South Kingstown.

He married Eliza A. Edson on 19 March 1837, in Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut by Rev. Daniel Williams.[1,3] They were the parents of:

Abby Champlin Oatley, born 10 September 1842, Killingly, Windham, Connecticut, United States; married Cyrus A. Burroughs, 23 April 1859, Norwich, New London, Connecticut, United States; died 30 January 1913, Scituate, Providence, Rhode Island, United States.
Joseph Monroe Oatley, born 11 December 1843, Killingly, Windham, Connecticut, United States; married Elwyn Eliza Paine, 4 March 1866, Windham, Connecticut, United States; died 17 March 1902, Providence, Rhode Island, United States.
Napoleon Bonaparte Oatley was born on 3 October 1846 in Killingly, Windham, Connecticut, United States. He died on 7 August 1851 at the age of 4 in Killingly, Windham, Connecticut, United States.
Clarissa Angeline Oatley, born 6 June 1849, Killingly, Windham, Connecticut, United States; married James Henry Belcher, 29 January 1872, Windham, Connecticut, United States; died 30 June 1906, Woodstock, Windham, Connecticut, United States.
John Alfred Oatley was born on 24 May 1852 in Killingly, Windham, Connecticut, United States. He died on 8 June 1853 at the age of 1 in Killingly, Windham, Connecticut, United States. He was also known as John A. Oatley Jr.

In the 1850 United States census, the John A. Oatley family resided in Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut.[4] The household included:

John A. Oatley - age 34, male, a spinner, born So. Kingston, RI
Eliza A. Oatley - age 31, female, born No. Hampton, Mass.
Sarah M. Oatley - age 11 female, born Killingly, Ct, attended school
Abby C. Oatley - age 8, female, born Killingly, Ct, attended school
Joseph M. Oatley - age 6, male, born Killingly, Ct, attended school
Napoleon B. Oatley - age 3, male, born Killingly, Ct.
Clarissa A. Oatley - age 2, female, born Killingly, Ct.

John's first wife, Eliza A. (Edson) Oatley died 17 June 1854, leaving four living children. John married Sophrona (Johnson) Davis before 1860, probably in Windham County, Connecticut, as his second wife. They had no children.

In the 1860 United States census, the John A. Oatley family resided in Killingly, Windham County, Connecticut.[5] The household included:

John A. Oatley - age 45, male, an operative, $500 in real property, $400 in personal property, born R.I.
Sephaena Oatley - age 44, female, born Maine
Joseph M. Oatley - age 16, male, born Conn., attended school
Clarissa A. Oatley - age 12, female, born Conn., attended school
Napoleon B. Oatley - age 8, male, born Conn., attended school

The entry for Napoleon B. Oatley in the 1860 census is a mystery. Is he the child born in 1846? Was he born in 1851 to John and Eliza (Edson) Oatley after the 1846 Napoleon died? Did he survive to adulthood, marry and have children?

It is not known when Sophrona (Johnson) (Davis) Oatley died. She is not in the 1870 U.S. Census as an Oatley.

John Alfred Oatley died on 13 June 1863, in Killingly, Windham, Connecticut, United States, at the age of 48,[2,6] and was buried in Bartlett Cemetery #1 in Dayville, Windham, Connecticut, United States.[2]

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

John Alfred Oatley (1815-1863) is my 2nd great-granduncle and brother of my 2nd great-grandmother, Amy Frances Oatley (1826-1864).

I have posted over 500 genealogical sketches of my ancestors back through the 7th great-.grandparents and a number of close relatives. Information about his father, Jonathan Oatley (1790-1872) in 52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks - Week 39: #46 Jonathan Oatley (1790-1872).

The "52 Relatives" theme is a weekly series to document the lives of siblings of my ancestors with relatively short genealogical sketches, including important events, and with source citations. These relatives lived and died within a family structure, and deserve a genealogical sketch - they were integral parts and important persons in the lives of my ancestral families.

I add links to the 52 Ancestors and 52 Relatives sketches on the 52 Ancestors/Relatives Biographies page, in my Ancestry Member Tree, in WikiTree, and in the FamilySearch Family Tree.
