Search U.S. City Directories Free for 4th of July on MyHeritage

I received this information from Daniel Horowitz of MyHeritage today:

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

I’m happy to share that in honor of the 4th of July, we’re providing free access to our unique U.S. City Directories collection from July 3–7, 2024.

Search the U.S. City Directories collection



The U.S. City Directories collection was produced from 26,000 U.S. city directories published between 1860 and 1960. The collection contains 561 million aggregated records that were consolidated from 1.3 billion records, so that multiple records about the same person are listed together, making it especially easy to navigate. This collection serves as an important alternative to U.S. census records that may not be available — for example the 1890 census, most of which was destroyed in a fire.

This is a fantastic opportunity for those with American heritage to learn more about their ancestors.

Rabbit Holes With Randy - Preparing for the 1950 U.S. Census

 This week's Rabbit Hole exercise was to find the Enumeration Districts (EDs) for my close family members in 1950, as preparation for the release of the 1950 census on 1 April 2022.  Hopefully, we can find every family member during the first week of access, whether the NARA indexing effort works or not.  

This will be the first census that I am in, so I am excited to see what my entry, as a 6 year old, looks like.  I consider "close family members" to be parents, siblings, grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles, first or second cousins, etc.  I'm looking for my wife's close relatives too.  Because my mother had no siblings, and her parents had no siblings, I have very few close relatives on her side - just my grandparents and one great-grandparent.  I do have 3rd or 4th cousins on her side of my ancestry, so I may include some of them at a later date.  I do have aunts, uncles and first and second cousins on my father's side.  I need to include my wife's aunts and uncles also.  

My process for finding the Enumeration Districts was pretty simple:

*  Used the City Directories collection on Ancestry.com to find the addresses for my target people. Almost all of them had street addresses.

*  Used Google Maps to find the address in the current map, and identified the cross streets for the block with the target address.  

*  Then I used the Steve Morse website Unified Census ED Finder (https://stevemorse.org/census/unified.html) for 1950 to identify the Enumeration district for each person on my list.  

*  Put all of that information on a word processor table so that I can print it out and write on it as I find the people in the Census.  I will write down the Roll number, Page number and Line numbers for each target entry so I can find them again.  

Here is my current list of names, addresses, and ED numbers:

Finally, I will enter the Event into my RootsMagic family tree along with a family summary in a Note and a source citation, plus an image of the census page.  I will probably write blog posts detailing what I find, especially the entry for my birth family (I sure hope they - and me - were not missed!).  It will be interesting to see who the neighbors are around my home.

I think I'm ready...I am still finding cousins to add to my list, but by 1 April I should be all set.  The biggest question I have is "will all of my relatives be enumerated?"  In the 1940 U.S. census, my grandmother, Alma Bessie (Richmond) Seaver (1882-1962), was not enumerated, but my grandfather was!

Of course, the NARA index to the 1950 U.S. Census may work like a charm, and the website may work quickly, and the links to specific pages will be accurate, and all of the ED preparation might be for naught.  We will see!  I am ready in case those things don't happen.

So pass the carrots - this Genealogy Bunny spent several hours compiling this, and he needs a snack.

What Is the Maiden Name of Ann (--?--) Seaver (1807-????)? - Part 1

 There are many mysteries in my family tree - most of them are maiden names of females and parents of end-of-known-line ancestors.  This series is about finding one of them.

One of my long-running (probably about 30 years or so) mysteries is the maiden name of Ann --?--, who married Nathaniel Seaver (1803-1859) at some time.  

Here are the records I have found to date for Nathaniel Seaver to date; some of them include Ann:

1)  Nathaniel Seaver was born 6 December 1803 in Heath, Franklin County, Massachusetts, the son of Royal and Olive (Swan) Seaver.  

Source:  "Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988," indexed database and digital image, Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com, Heath, Briths, Marriages, Deaths," page 35 (image 92 of 482), Nathaniel Seaver birth entry, 6 December 1803.

2)  I don't know when Nathaniel married Ann - it was before 1850 and could have been as early as 1825 or so.   I don't think that they had any children, unless they were born and died before the 1850 U.S. census.  

3)  The 1850 U.S. census finds them in Troy, Rensselaer County, New York (indexed as Leaver on Ancestry):

Nathaniel is listed as age 45, a sash and blind maker, with $2000 in real property, born in Massachusetts.  Ann Seaver is listed as age 43, born in Massachusetts.

Source: 1850 United States Federal Census, Rensselaer County, New York, Troy Ward 7, page 301B, dwelling number 2374, family number 3842, Nathaniel Seaver household; digital image, Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com); citing National Archive Microfilm Publication M432, Roll 584.

4)  Nathaniel and Ann Seaver are in the 1855 New York State census, enumerated in Troy, Rensselaer County, New York:

In this census, Nathaniel is age 50, male, married, resident of town for 20 years, a sash and blind maker, a native voter, and owns the land.  Ann Seaver is age 46, female, wife, resident of town for 20 years.

Source:  "New York, U.S. State Census, 1855", Rensselaer County, Troy City Ward 10, unnumbered page (image 13 of 36), household #233, Nathaniel Seaver household, digital image, Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com); citing Census of the state of New York, for 1855, Microfilm, Various County Clerk Offices, New York.

5)  There is a City Directory entry for the Seaver family in 1858 in Troy, New York:

In the Troy city directory, the firm Seaver (Nathaniel) and Ingraham (Russell), sash and blond manufacturers, 473 River, house 247 North Second.

Source: "U.S. City Directories, 1822-1895," indexed database with record images, Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com), The Troy Directory, 1858, page 217, Seaver and Ingraham entry.

6)  The 1860 United States Census Mortality Schedule for Troy, Rensselaer County, New York has a death entry for Nathaniel Seaver:

This record indicates that Nathaniel Seaver was age 53, male, married, born in Mass., died in July 1859, a millwright, died if erryseppelis, ill 4 months.

Source:  "U.S. Federal Census Mortality Schedules, 1850-1885," online database and digital images, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com), 1860, New York, Rensselaer County, Troy Ward 10, page 226 (stamped), line 1, Nathaniel Seaver entry; citing U.S. Census Mortality Schedules, New York, 1850-1880, Archive Roll Number: M4.

7)  Nathaniel Seaver died 18 Jul 1859 in Troy, New York at age 55, and is buried in Old Mount Ida Cemetery in Troy.  The Find A Grave memorial for Nathaniel Seaver:

Source:  Find A Grave, indexed database and digital image, (http://www.findagrave.com), Old Mount Ida Cemetery, Troy, N.Y., Nathaniel Seaver memorial #29356456.

8)  There is one more record available for Nathaniel Seaver, and I will review it in the next post.

9)  While Ann (--?--) Seaver is the subject of this blog post series, she is in several of the records shown above.  There are several more records that shed light on Ann's ancestry and I will show them in upcoming posts.

Most importantly, I was contacted by Patti in email last week asking me if I had seen the personal letters that she possesses from her family.  I had not seen them.  With Patti's permission, I will post these letters in upcoming posts.  Ann is not her ancestor, but is probably related to Patti's ancestors.

Perhaps from the letters, and Patti's research, we can deduce Ann's maiden name.

10)  Cousin bait, and crowd-sourcing, works!!

MyHeritage Announces Their Aggregated City Directory Collection

I received this via email from MyHeritage today:

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

Today we announce the addition of a huge collection of U.S. City Directories. The collection was produced by MyHeritage from 25,000 public U.S. city directories published between 1860 and 1960.

Treasure Chest Tuesday - 1892 City Directory Entry for David Auble (1817-1894)

This weeks Tuesday's Treasure is the 1892 Terre Haute, Indiana City Directory entry for David Auble (1817-1894):

The entry for David Auble is on the right hand page:

The transcribed information for David and his two daughters is:

*  Auble, David, shoemkr, 325 N. 4th, res 411 Chestnut.
*  Auble Fannie Miss, res. 411 Chestnut.
*  Auble Katherine Miss, res. 411 Chestnut.

The source citation for the David Auble entry is:

"U.S. City Directories, 1822-1895," indexed database with record images, Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com : accessed 8 July 2019), Terre Haute, Indiana, 1892, page 93 (image 25 of 443), David Auble entry.

This entry indicates that David Auble was a shoemaker working at 325 N. 4th Street in Terre Haute, and that his residence was 411 Chestnut Street in Terre Haute.  Fannie Auble and Katherine Auble, his unmarried daughters, resided with him.  There is no mention of his wife, Sarah (Knapp) Auble, although she was still alive then.  It appears, from other entries on the page, that spouses were not listed, but widows were listed.

Unfortunately, the page in the City Directory with the city street map was not digitized, so here is the 2019 Google Map of downtown Terre Haute:

The street just above the stick pin is Chestnut Street, and the north-south street just to the west of the stickpin is North 4th Street.  It looks like David's shoe shop and his home were on the same block.  A look at the Street View indicates that there is an Indiana State University building where the Auble home once stood.

I found a 1900 street map of Terre Haute on the Library of Congress website; here is the area around 4th and Chestnut, with 411 Chestnut circled.  I think 325 North 4th is probably the parcel just to the south of the Knapp property:

David Auble (1817-1894) and Sarah (Knapp) Auble (1818-1904) are my 2nd great-grandparents, through their oldest son, Charles Auble (1849-1916), who married Georgianna Kemp (1868-1952) in 1898.

Treasure Chest Tuesday - 1896 Boulder, Colorado City Directory Entry for D.J. Carringer

Today's Treasure Chest document is the 1896 City Directory for Boulder, Colorado for D.J. Carringer:

The entry for D.J. Carringer (left-hand side of the page, 9th entry):

The transcription of the entry is:

"Carringer, D J, fruit grower, res 2nd av and 3rd st, N Boulder."

The source citation for this entry is:

"U.S. City Directories, 1822-1995," indexed database and digital image, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com : 15 October 2018), Colorado > Boulder > 1896 > Boulder, Colorado City Directory, 1896, page 141 (image 64 of 330), D J Carringer entry.

The David Jackson Carringer family moved to Boulder, Colorado from Washington County, Iowa in about 1873, and remained there until about 1898 when they moved to San Diego, California to be near their two sons.  David Jackson (D.J.) Carringer was born in Pennsylvania in 1828, and died in 1902 in San Diego, California.  He married Rebecca Spangler (1832-1901) in 1851 in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.

David Jackson and Rebecca (Spangler) Carringer are my 2nd great-grandparents through their son Henry Austin Carringer (1853-1946), my great-grandfather who married Abbie Ardell (Della) Smith (1864-1944) in 1887 in Wano, Kansas.
