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

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.

4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):    

Elizabeth Tefft was born in about 1683 in South Kingstown, Rhode Island, the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Jenckes) Tefft[1-3].

She married Solomon Carpenter (1677-1750) in about 1702 in South Kingstown; he was the son of Samuel and Sarah (Redway) Carpenter[1-3].  They had six children, all born in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.

*  Elizabeth Carpenter (1703-????), married 1722 James Braman (1679-1741).

*  Solomon Carpenter (1706-1743), married 1732 Deborah Reynolds (1708-1778).

Elizabeth's father, Samuel Tefft, died after 16 March 1725 (when he made his will) and before December 20, 1725 when the probate of the will is mentioned in the South Kingstown Probate Records[4].  In his will he bequeathed to his daughter Elizabeth Carpenter:

"Item I Give to my Welbeloved Daughters (Viz) Elizabeth Carpenter Esther Mumford and Mary Newton Each of Them Twenty pounds Apiece to be paid to them by my said son John Tefft within one year Next after my Decease."

Elizabeth's mother, Elizabeth (Jenckes) Tefft of South Kingstown, died testate, having written a will dated 4 July 1739, which was proved on 12 May 1740[5].  The will reads (transcribed by Randy Seaver from the clerk's copy on South Kingstown (RI) Probate and Town Council Records, Volume 3, Pages 136-139, accessed on FHL Microfilm 0,931,833).  In her will she bequeathed to her daughter Elizabeth Carpenter:

"Item To my Daughter Elizabeth Carpenter I give one Sixth part [of the rest and residue of my estate]."

Elizabeth (Tefft) Carpenter died before her husband wrote his will on 30 April 1750, since she is not mentioned in Solomon's will[6].

Census Whacking (Again) On St. Patrick's Day

 

Here's an oldie but a goodie from 17 March 2007 on Genea-Musings (with updates and additions over the years):  I browsed through the 1920 U.S. Census on www.Ancestry.com  looking for funny or strange names to help celebrate St. Patrick's Day and Irish names. There is a rich selection:

* Patrick Ireland resided in Matagorda County TX (born in Texas - who knew?)

* St. Lester Patrick resided in Hillsborough County NH (born in Canada)

* Patrick Patrick resided in Macon County AL (born AL)

* Patrick Fitz Patrick resided in Queens County NY (born in Ireland)

* Paddy Green resided in Lucas County OH (born Ireland)

* Green Kelley resided in Hudson County NJ (born Ireland)

*  Kelly Banshey resided in Beardstown, Illinois.

*  Banshe Jedinak resided in Trinidad, Colorado.

* There are 64 males named Patrick Green born in Ireland.

* Daniel Boy resided in Cuyahoga County OH (born in Russia)

* Daniel Erin Ireland resided in Wyandotte County KS (born in KS)

* Patrick Luck resided in Kings County NY (born in Ireland)

*  Erin Ireland resided in Logan County, CO (born in Nebraska)

* There are 87 females named Rose Ireland - but only one was born in Ireland.

*  There are 1,889 persons with the surname Clover, but only 6 were born in Ireland.

*  There are 222 persons with the surname Shamrock, and 6 with the first name of Shamrock, but none were born in Ireland.

*  There are 9 Kate Irelands in the census, but none were born in Ireland

*  There are 91 persons with surname Ireland that were born in Ireland.

*  There are 606 persons with the surname Limerick, but only 5 were born in Ireland.

*  There are 5,372 with the surname Cork, but only 39 were born in Ireland.

*  There are 102 persons with the surname Fairy, but only 2 were born in Ireland.

*  There are 3,861 persons with surname Irish, but only 22 were born in Ireland.

*  There are 26,144 persons with the first name starting with "Kat" and 41,434 starting with "Cat" born in Ireland

*  There are 22,043 persons with the surname Shannon, but only 880 were born in Ireland.

*  There are 52,560 persons with the first name starting with "Pat" and 49 starting with "Pad" born in Ireland

*  There are 1,059,917 persons in the 1920 census that were born in Ireland.

*  There are 3,888,940 persons whose father was born in Ireland.

*  There are 3,799,355 persons whose mother was born in Ireland.

*  There are 3,078,127 persons whose mother and father were born in Ireland.

*  I have exactly 1 known ancestor who were born in Ireland after 1600.  

There were no people in the 1920 census with the surname of Leprechaun or Banshee.  Not being Irish, or having much known Irish ancestry, or much experience researching in Ireland - I don't know all of the legends and songs that might provide more names to search.  What other names should I look for next year?

Treasure Chest Thursday - 1850 U.S. Census for Isaac Lanfear in Lorraine, Jefferson County, New York

  I looked in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings for Treasure Chest Thursday.

The treasure today is the 1850 United States census record for the Isaac Lanfear household in Lorraine, Jefferson County, New York:

The entry for the Isaac Lanfear family is in Lines 4-7 on the page:

The abstracted information of this census record is (Dwelling #2162, Family #2190):

*  Isaac Lanfear, age 73, male, a Farmer, has $2000 in real property.

*  Rosanna Lanfear, age 65, female.

*  Latham Lanfear, age 36, male, a farmer.

*  Melinda Lanfear, age 27, female.

The source citation for this record is:

1850 United States Federal Census, Jefferson County, New York, Lorraine, Page 358 (stamped), Lines 4-7, Isaac Lanfear household, online database with record image, Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com); citing National Archives Microfilm Publication M432 (1009 rolls).

This record is a Derivative Source, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the names of the family members, occupations, and the location of the Isaac Lanfear household, and Indirect Evidence of the birth years of the family members.

Isaac Lanfear (1777-1851) was born in 1777 in Hillsdale, Columbia County, New York, the son of Latham and Anna (Wilbur) Lanphere.  He married Rosina Laun (1781-1881) on 10 October 1808 in Claverack, Columbia County, New York.  They had ten known children, born between 1809 and 1828.

Isaac and Rosina (Laun) Lanfear  are my 4th great-grandparents.  I am descended through one of their children who had a son (perhaps out of wedlock), my 2nd great-grandfather, Devier James Lanfear Smith (1839-1894), who was adopted by Ranslow and Mary (Bell) Smith of Henderson, New York.
