Mama Lee and Tami at Christmas 1976 -- Post 602 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday

I  can't help it, I can't do a wordless post!  I found some more family photos hiding in Linda's family photo boxes.  This is one of my favorite photographs:

This photograph is probably from Christmas 1976 (it is probably 1976 because Tami looks like she is about 2 months old) when we visited San Francisco.  Linda's parents lived at 1726 47th Avenue in the Sunset district, with the living area on the second floor, hence the nice windows facing the street.

That is Linda's mother, Edna (Schaffner) "Mama Lee" Leland (1913-1979) holding her granddaughter (our daughter) Tami Joy, with Papa Lee on the left side of the photo.  We don't have many photos of Mama Lee, and I'm glad that we have what we have.  

These photos were digitized from photographs created from film and are not particularly sharp, but they are what we have!

Several times a year when our children were growing up, Linda sent photographs to her parents and brother in San Francisco.  When her father died in 2002, her brother sorted out the photos and gave Linda the ones that were of our family and the ones interacting with them.  They were given to us in a big box of stuff back in 2006, and we finally looked at them last year!  I've started digitizing them for use in these Wordless Wednesday posts.

Tuesday's Tip: Research Using the 1870 United States Federal Census

The record collection for the 1870 United States Federal Census is one of my favorite record collections.  It is available in digital format online at:

*  Ancestry.com  ($$) - 40,405,476 entries

*  MyHeritage.com ($$) - 40,383,628 entries

*  Findmypast.com ($$) - 40,288,027 entries

*  FamilySearch.org (Free) - 40,350,163 entries

The official population count of the United States in 1870 was 38,555,983.

Why are the number of entries different at each provider, and different from the official census count?  Perhaps it is because all of the  providers permit an alternate user-provided index entry for enumerated persons.

The description of the 1870 United States Federal Census collection on Ancestry.com says:

This database details those persons enumerated in the 1870 United States Federal Census, the Ninth Census of the United States. In addition, the names of those listed on the population schedule are linked to the actual images of the 1870 Federal Census, copied from the National Archives and Records Administration microfilm, M593, 1761 rolls; part of Minnesota T132. (If you do not initially find the name on the page that you are linked to, try a few pages forward or backward, as sometimes different pages had the same page number.)

Enumerators of the 1870 census were instructed to record the names of every person in the household. Added to this, enumerators were presented with printed instructions, which account for the greater degree of accuracy compared with earlier censuses. Enumerators were asked to include the following categories in the census:  name; age at last birthday (if a child was under one year of age, months of age were to be stated as fractions, such as 1/12); sex; color; profession; occupation or trade of every male and female; value of real estate; place of birth; whether mother and father were of foreign birth; whether born or married within the year and the month; those who could not read; those who could not write; whether deaf, dumb, blind, or insane or "idiotic". No relationships were shown between members of a household. The categories allowed Congress to determine persons residing in the United States for collection of taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives.

All states are now indexed and linked to the actual census images.

This database is certain to prove useful for those seeking early American ancestors.

The United States was the first country to call for a regularly held census. The Constitution required that a census of all "Persons...excluding Indians not taxed" be performed to determine the collection of taxes and the appropriation of seats in the House of Representatives. The first nine censuses from 1790-1870 were organized under the United States Federal Court system. Each district was assigned a U.S. marshal who hired other marshals to administer the census. Governors were responsible for enumeration in territories.

The official enumeration day of the 1870 census was 1 June 1870. All questions asked were supposed to refer to that date. The 1870 census form called for the dwelling houses to be numbered in the order of visitation; families numbered in order of visitation; and the name of every person whose place of abode on the first day of June 1870 was with the family.

Here is an example from the FamilySearch census for a search for one person (two screens below):

  I searched each record provider for some of my exact surnames of interest.  The results are:

*  Seaver               1309 (on Ancestry)
                              1213 (on MyHeritage)
                              1213 (on Findmypast)
                              1211 (on Family Search)

*  Carringer             103 (on Ancestry)
                                  46 (on MyHeritage)
                                  46 (on Findmypast)
                                  46 (on Family Search)

*  Auble                  293 (on Ancestry)
                                265 (on MyHeritage)
                                265 (on Findmypast)
                                265 (on Family Search)

*  Vaux                    166  (on Ancestry)
                                165 (on MyHeritage)
                                163 (on Findmypast)
                                152 (on Family Search) 

*  Smith            521,236 (on Ancestry)
                         518,761 (on MyHeritage)
                         518,763 (on Findmypast)
                         518,188 (on Family Search)

FamilySearch, MyHeritage and Findmypast have almost the same number of entries for each surname except Smith - I think FamilySearch provided the index and images for this collection to Findmypast and MyHeritage.

Ancestry,com and FamilySearch created separate census indexes using paid and/or volunteer indexers.  The differences in numbers between providers for a specific surname is probably due to some of the providers permitting a user-submitted addition to the index.

It is important to understand what this collection represents and includes.  This collection is paper records created by the U.S. Census Bureau in 1870, copied to microfilm and provided in digital format at some time to the digital record providers for a fee.  The record providers then used paid or volunteer indexers to create the different indexes.

These records are Original Source records, with Primary Information (state, county, town) and Secondary Information (for everything else), and Indirect Evidence of the person's name, age, and other items.

I use this database extensively to find my ancestors, my relatives, and other persons in my family tree.  I usually download the record image to my computer for my ancestors, summarize the information for each person in the household, and enter a Census event for the household, with the official census date, the census place, and craft a source citation.  I add a Note for each person with the location, date, and household summary information, and add a Media item for each person in the household of my ancestral families.

For those interested in mining this record collection for Hints of persons in their Ancestry Member Tree, the Ancestry.com database number is 7163.  Currently, I have over 2,620 Hints for persons in my Ancestry Member Tree who are indexed in this record collection.  I work on them occasionally, adding content and source citations to profiles in my RootsMagic family tree.  Of course, I have some accepted Hints from this collection already in my RootsMagic family tree and my Ancestry Member Tree, but not many.

I have not attached many MyHeritage Hints to my MyHeritage tree, which is now a year out of date.  On MyHeritage, I have 1,891 pending Record Matches for persons in my MyHeritage tree.

Monday Genea-Pourri - Week Ending 26 January 2020

Here are the highlights of my family history and genealogy related activities over the past week:

3)  Moderated the Chula Vista Genealogical Society DNA Interest Group on Wednesday, with 12 in attendance.  I discussed genetic genealogy news for the last two months, reviewed how I analyze my DNA matches and use ThruLines, and the attendees shared their activities.  

2)  Moderated the San Diego Genealogical Society RootsMagic User Group on Saturday at the San Diego FHC, with 8 in attendance.  We discussed making a website using RootsMagic, using TreeShare to keep the Ancestry tree updated and web hints, and several other topics.

3)  Watched one Family Tree Webinar video - New Tools and Ideas in Research, by D. Joshua Taylor.

4)  Wrote and posted a biographical sketch of 7th great-grandmother #525 Elizabeth (Wheeler) Fletcher (1664-1744) for my 52 Ancestors biographical sketch on Friday.  

5)  Transcribed a 1729 deed of  7th great-grandfather Simon Gates selling land in Stow, Massachusetts to Francis Eveleth for Amanuensis Monday.

6)  Added Notes to about 10 more AncestryDNA matches with cM values, relationships and known common ancestors, and added two ThruLines to the RootsMagic family tree database.  Reviewed new DNA matches on MyHeritageDNA, FamilyTreeDNA and 23and Me.

7) There were several sessions working in the RootsMagic software program to match with and update FamilySearch Family Tree profiles for Seaver families and my ancestral families, with occasional additions to the RootsMagic profiles. I have matched 34,226 of my RootsMagic persons with FamilySearch Family Tree profiles (up 15).

8)  Used Web Hints and Record Matches from Ancestry, MyHeritage, Findmypast and FamilySearch to add content and sources to my RootsMagic profiles.  I now have 55,996 persons in my RootsMagic file (up 60) , and 115,256 source citations (up 726).   I TreeShared twice this week updating 192 profiles, and I resolved 826 Ancestry Hints.  I've fallen behind on the Ancestry Record Hints with 122,528 to be resolved, but I work on them weekly.    

9) Wrote 18 Genea-Musings blog posts last week, of which three were press releases.  The most popular post last week was RootsTech 2020 SLC Keynote Speakers and Entertainment Lineup with over  297 views.

Corame Tho How Justice Peace.  Middlesex ss Cambridge February
15^th 1791 Received & Entered.
(91)   By W^m Winthrop Regr.

The source citation for this recorded deed is:

"Massachusetts, Land Records, 1620-1986," digital images, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org : accessed 19 January 2015), Middlesec County, "Deeds, 1791, Vol. 104," Volume 104, Pages 106-107, images 87 of 311, Deed of Simon Gates to Francis Eveleth, executed 24 February 1728/9, recorded 15 February 1791; citing records in land offices and county courthouses, statewide in Massachusetts.

This deed of Simon Gates selling six acres of swamp in the town of Stow to Francis Eveleth was executed on 24 February 1728/9, but was not recorded until 15 February 1791 - 72 years later!  Francis Eveleth, or his heir, kept the deed and had it recorded when they wanted to sell this parcel.  Perhaps Francis Eveleth, or one of his heirs who obtained the land by a will or distribution, died before this deed was recorded, and the estate or heirs needed to record it before they could sell the land to another party.

This Simon Gates is probably the Simon Gates (1667-1752) of Stow, son of Stephen and Mary (Woodward) Gates, who married Hannah Benjamin (1669-1752) in 1766, who is my 7th great-grandfather.  I am descended from their son, Amos Gates (1706-1783) who married Mary Hubbard (1712-1754) in 1732.
