Seavers in the News - Hattie W. Seaver Dies in 1957 in Florida

 It's time for another edition of "Seavers in the News" - a weekly feature from the historical newspapers about persons with the surname Seaver that are interesting, useful, mysterious, fun, macabre, or add information to my family tree database.

This week's entry is from The Miami [Fla] Herald newspaper dated 27 April 1957:

The transcription of the article is:

"Mrs. Seaver Dead at 68

"Services for Mrs. Hattie W. Seaver, 68, of 1551 NW 15th St. Rd., will be at 4 p.m. Tuesday in the Gerhardt Funeral Home Chapel with burial in Flagler Cemetery.

"Mrs. Seaver, who died Friday in a local hospital, was a 19-year resident, coming here from Indianapolis.

"Surviving are two sons, Maxwell, Miami, and Bercell, Indianapolis; a daughter, Mrs. Wildene Trimple, Indianapolis; three brothers, two sisters and three grandchildren."

The source citation is:

"Mrs. Seaver Dead at 68," The Miami [Fla.] Herald newspaper, Sunday, 7 April 1957, page 38, column 3, Hattie E. Seaver obituary; Newspapers.com   (https://www.newspapers.com : accessed 7 October  2021).

This obituary provides the name, home address, death date and place, childrens names, and no information about her employment and associations.  

Hettie Florence Warman (1889-1957) was born 9 January 1889 in Clark County, Indiana, and died 5 April 1957 in Miami, Florida.  She was the daughter of Jonathan Lewis and Mary Jane (Cline) Warman.  She married  Roy James Seaver (1887-1971) on 30 August 1909 in Jeffersonville, Indiana.  They had three children:

*  Bercell Warman Seaver (1910-1959), married (1) 1942 Dorothy May Cully (1910-1989); (2) 1955  Elizabeth Kupfersberger (1915-????).

*  Maxwell Foster Seaver (1914-1977), married 1947 Nadine Sauls (1918-1973)

*  Wildene Reid Seaver (1918-2003), married (1) 1930 Harold Leroy Trimble (1914-2006); (2) 1947 Attilio F. Cicerelli (????-????).

I am not related to Hettie (Warman) Seaver or Roy James Seaver to my knowledge.  Roy James Seaver is a descendant of Daniel and Julia (Holcomb) Seaver of New York.  Daniel may be a descendant of robert Seaver of Roxbury Massachusetts, but I have not found the link to Daniel's Seaver ancestry yet.

There are over 10,000 Seaver "stories" in my family tree - and this was one of them.   Life happens, accidentally and intentionally, and sometimes a person has a very limited obituary. I am glad that I can honor Hettie Florence (Warman) Seaver today.  

You never know when a descendant or relative will find this blog post and learn something about their ancestors or relatives, or will provide more information about them to me.

Exploring RootsMagic 8 - #2: People Screen, Edit Person, Enter Data

 This is the second post in a series of exploring RootsMagic 8, which was released on 30 September 2021.  The overview post is at Exploring RootsMagic 8 - #1 - the Main Screens.

I imported my RootsMagic 7 family tree, which is synced with my Ancestry Member Tree using RootsMagic TreeShare, and I will be using it for this series of posts.

1)  On the People Screen, I searched for Abraham Seaver in the "Index" pane search box.  The search is alphabetical by last name, first name.  The program provides a list of all persons in the database with that name.

I chose the Abraham Seaver born in 1787 (the third one on the list), and the "Family" pane for Abraham Seaver (1787-1864) opened:

The "Family" pane opened for me in the "Family" view (the second icon below the word "Family" on the screen.  The highlighted person, his parents, his spouse, her parents, their children, and their spouses are listed in the "Family" pane.  Each person on the screen above has a "Card" with their name and birth, marriage, and death information.

Note the WebHints icon and the FamilySearch Family Tree icon on the card for each person on the screen above.

2)  I can Edit Abraham Seaver's information by double clicking on his name in the "Family" view on the screen above:

The left-hand pane of the screen above lists the "Facts" for this person.  I note that I have "Facts" with "Details" for his Person, Spouse, Parents, Groups, WebTags, Birth, Marriage, Death, Ref# and Primary Name.  There are icons for Notes, Sources, Media, Tasks and Addresses to the right of the "Details" list.  I note that I already have Notes and Sources for this person for the Birth, Marriage and Death "Facts."

Since the Person "Fact" is highlighted, the right-hand pane of the screen shows the information related to the Person, including the Given Name, Surname, Prefix, Suffix, Nickname, Sex, Living?, Note, Sources, Media, Tasks, and Addresses.  I can type information into the first 7 items on that list and can click the right-carat (>) on the right side of the bottom five items to see more information about those items.  Each > click will open a new "slide-in" pane so I can edit the information related to that item.

3)  I note that I don't have a Burial Fact for Abraham Seaver, and I want to add that as a New Fact.  I add the Fact by clicking the plus sign icon (+) icon on the right side of the row above the "Fact" and "Detail" line:

First I have to select a "Fact Type" from a list.  I can use the search field to narrow my search - I entered "Burial" on the screen above.  The program gave me two matches, and I chose "Burial" instead of "Alt. Burial."

A Burial "Fact" was added to the "Fact" list on the "Family" pane.  I highlighted that Fact and the Edit pane for the Burial Fact opened on the right-hand pane of the screen above.  

4)  I entered the burial date, burial place, the place details (in this case, the cemetery) into the fields on the right-hand pane of the screen above.  I could have added a Description, a Proof statement, checked a Primary indicator, checked a Private indicator, and the program added the Sort date.  The programmed Sentence for the Fact type at the bottom of the right-hand pane provides a summary of the burial information.

I'm not done yet - I can still add a Note, a Source citation and/or a Media item for this Fact.  I will show those tasks in other blog posts.

Here is the Person screen after I added the Burial Fact and a Source citation:

5)  If I am finished adding Facts, I can also click on the WebHints icon and/or the FamilySearch icon on the Person card (on the first screen of this post) to see if there is online information on Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.org, MyHeritage.com and Findmypast.com that I should add to the profile for this Person.

6)  As I noted before:  I think that every setting, heading and icon noted above are in RootsMagic 7, either in the icon ribbons or in the drop-down menus (as words).  As I said, there is very little new, but they've moved it all around.  

For those of us who have worked in RootsMagic 7 for years, the learning curve in RootsMagic 8 should be pretty fast.  The workflow is almost identical, but the navigation and the clicking are different, and there are some icons on the screens that need to be explored.

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

Disclosure:  I have been a paying customer of RootsMagic genealogy software since about 2006, and purchased RootsMagic 8 as an upgrade package back in 2020.

A 50th Wedding Anniversary in May 2004 -- Post 688 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday

  I can't help it, I can't do a wordless post! This is one of my favorite photographs:  

This photograph was taken in May 2004 in Little York (near Milford), Hunterdon County, New Jersey at the home of my first cousin, Jack Wood and his wife JoAn.  They are in the middle, Linda and I are on the right, and my first cousin (and Jack's sister), Virginia (Wood) Soule and her longtime friend Bob are on the left.  

We flew east to celebrate Jack and JoAn's 50th wedding anniversary, and then do some sightseeing and genealogy research in New Jersey, New York, Ontario and Pennsylvania.  This is the only time I've been to these states to do research, and it was fascinating and fruitful and fun.

We stayed several nights at Jack and JoAn's beautiful home in the woods and enjoyed meeting their children and grandchildren.  The anniversary party was held across the Delaware River in Easton, Pennsylvania with many family and friends in attendance.  The family came back to the home for sharing time.  The next day they drove us into the New York City area to see the City, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island from the New Jersey side.  I wish I could remember more of the stories I heard on this visit!

Jack and Virginia, along with their brother Walter, were the children of Walter Hazlehurst and Evelyn (Seaver) Wood.  Evelyn was my father's older sister, and daughter of my grandparents, Frederick W. and Alma Bessie (Richmond) Seaver of Leominster, Massachusetts.

rootstrust Genealogy Software on a Chromebook

 I received this from rootstrust today:

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

rootstrust on a Chromebook 

The Chromebook and Genealogy 

Say, you want to buy a laptop computer for email, Facebook, web surfing and genealogy. You could get a MacBook for $2000+, or an HP Chromebook for one tenth the price. But what about the genealogy software? The big-name genealogy programs cannot run on a Chromebook, however now rootstrust can. rootstrust has always been able to run on Windows, macOS and Linux. Now Chrome OS, the operating system of the Chromebook and the Chromebox, has been added to its OS compatibility list. 

Chrome OS and Linux 

Early versions of Chrome OS supported Linux only in a dual boot environment. However, since the advent of Chrome OS, version 69, an implementation of Linux called Crostini is available as an app within Chrome OS. Since it is not enabled by default, you must turn it on before you can use it. Crostini is not a full-blown Linux implementation: all you get to start with is the Linux terminal app which provides you with a command line interface to Linux. By typing a few simple commands, however, you can set up a file manager with a graphical user interface on which you can install rootstrust the way you would on any other Linux system. 

You can download a PDF file from the Download page of the rootstrust.com website that contains detailed, step by step instructions (with copious screenshots) for enabling Crostini Linux, installing a file manager and all the apps that rootstrust could invoke during its execution (LibreOffice, text editor, PDF viewer, image file viewer, video player, calculator, etc.). It also shows you how to install rootstrust and how to set up separate virtual desktops for Chrome OS and Linux. 

The Linux File Manager and its Desktop 

The apps that you install from the command line (LibreOffice, Text Editor, image viewer, etc.) do not have desktop icons the way they would on a full-blown Linux implementation. However, from rootstrust.com you can download a small set of clickable desktop icons (the ones you see in the following figure) that you can easily install on your desktop. Here is how the Linux Desktop will appear in nemo, the file manager app, after rootstrust and the supplemental icons have been installed: 

In the figure above, you will see Konsole, Gimp and VLC. These apps are not used by rootstrust but can be useful. You too can install additional Linux apps from the command line, but you will have to create your own clickable icon files for your desktop. You might ask why we installed Konsole when we already had the Linux terminal app. When you launch the file manager nemo, you do it via the command line in the terminal. Thus, as long as nemo is running, the terminal is tied up, and you do not have access to the command line. Having Konsole on your desktop remedies that. 

rootstrust on Chrome OS 

The appearance and functionality of rootstrust on Chrome OS is virtually identical to rootstrust on any other operating system. 

Chrome OS will remember rootstrust once you have run it. It will thereafter be available on the Google Search Bar that appears when you press the search button. 

Cloud Storage and External Storage 

Google Drive is integrated into Chrome OS, and its files are virtual, i.e., they reside in the cloud. Obviously, the advantage of that is they do not take up valuable file space on your Chromebook or Chromebox. The disadvantage is that if you have no Internet access, you cannot access to your files. Most Chromebooks have a microSD card slot. By storing your rootstrust File Cabinets (document and multimedia files) on an SD card, you potentially free up a large chunk of internal file space while ensuring that you can work with rootstrust even when you have no Internet access.

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

Disclosure:  I have received no remuneration or considerations for posting this information.  I have downloaded a free version of rootstrust in recent years but have done very little with it.  This is very good news for genealogists with a Chromebook!

Carringers in the News -- Leora Pearl Carringer Marries Albert William Singleton in 1918 in Franklin, Pennsylvania

 It's time for another edition of "Carringers in the News" - a weekly feature from the historical newspapers about persons with the surname Carringer (my mother's maiden surname) that are interesting, useful, mysterious, fun, macabre, or add information to my family tree database.

This week's entry is from The News-Herald [Franklin, Penn.] newspaper dated 7 March 1918:

The transcription of this article is:  

"SINGLETON-CARRINGER

Albert William Singleton and Miss Leola Pearl Carringer were married at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W.E. Carringer, on 13th street.  Rev. S.V. Carmany officiated and the ring ceremony was used.  Following the ceremony, a wedding diner was served.  The young couple will make their home in Franklin.  Among the guests was Mrs. W.G. Kimes of Oil City."

The source citation is:

"Singleton-Carringer," The News-Herald [Franklin, Penn.] newspaper, marriage article, Thursday, 7 March 1918, page 5, column 3, Albert William Singleton and Leola Pearl Carringer marriage article;   Newspapers.com  (https://www.newspapers.com : accessed 4 October 2021).

This marriage article provides the names of the bride and groom, the bride's parents names, and one of the out of town attendees.  

Albert William Singleton (1896-1971) was born 29 October 1896, the son of William Thomas and Flora (Ross) Singleton of Franklin, and died 9 January 1971 in Detroit, Michigan.  Leola Pearl Carringer (1901-1982) was born 7 March 1901 in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, daughter of William Earl and Fanny Lobertha (Latshaw) Carringer, and died 9 August 1982 in Pinellas County, Florida.  They married 7 March 191 in Franklin, Pennsylvania.  They had one child:

*  Albert William Singleton (1919-1987), married 1945 Grace Anne Mohler (1915-2007).

According to other available records (a death record and a marriage record), "Leola's" given name was Leora Pearl Carringer.  She married (2) Abel W. Haldeman (1902-1984) in 1928.

I am a 4th cousin once removed to Leora Pearl (Carringer) (Singleton) Haldeman.  Our common ancestors are my 4th great-grandparents Martin Carringer (1758-1835) and Maria Magdalena Hoax (1768-1851).

There are hundreds of Carringer "stories" in my family tree - and this was one of them.   Life happens, accidentally and intentionally, and sometimes a newspaper article contains the wrong spelling of a name. I am glad that I can honor Leora Pearl Carringer today.  

You never know when a descendant or relative will find this blog post and learn something about their ancestors or relatives, or will provide more information about them to me.

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

Disclosure: I have a complimentary subscription to Newspapers.com and have used it extensively to find articles about my ancestral and one-name families.

Genealogy Pot-Pourri - Week Ending 4 October 2021

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

1)  Hosted the Chula Vista Genealogical Society General Meeting on Wednesday on Zoom with 55 in attendance.  Sunny Jane Morton presented "U.S. Church Records: Why We Care Where Grandma Went to Church." 

2)  Attended the San Diego Genealogical Society DNA Interest Group meeting on Zoom.  Kathy Fernandes presented "The Priest and the Choir Girl: Searching for Family in an Endogamous Population."

3)  Participated in today's Mondays With Myrt Zoom webinar.  We discussed HistoryPoints.org, QR codes in cemeteries, Ellen T-J's "The Genie Journal" book, the Jewish Sisters DNA story, the Wilmington NC Coup, Shelley's work at the University of Virginia, Elizabeth Shown Mills retirement, and Liv's "Potato Holidays" blog post.  

4)  Download and installed RootsMagic 8 on my desktop computer.  The key I was given didn't work, so used Essentials until I received the unlock key on Sunday.  Imported my RootsMagic 7 database and then tested it out over the weekend.  Started using it on Sunday by adding events and sources from Ancestry Record Hints.  I still don't have Ancestry or FamilySearch WebHints and cannot use Ancestry TreeShare in RootsMagic after many fruitless trials.  RM7 TreeShare and WebHints stopped working last week, apparently because Ancestry changed the API.  Wrote a summary blog post in Exploring RootsMagic 8 - #1 - the Main Pages.

5)  Transcribed  a deed record in  Amanuensis Monday -- 1760 Deed of Norman Sever Buying Land in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts from Edward Raymond.

6)  Published a genealogy biography of  7th great-grandfather #622 Joseph Morse (1667-1733)  of Groton and Marlborough, Massachusetts.

7)  AncestryDNA added 51 new DNA matches this past week, with one new ThruLines and  MyHeritage added 16 new DNA matches.   Reviewed the new DNA matches on  AncestryDNA, MyHeritageDNA, FamilyTreeDNA and 23andMe.  Added Notes to 1 more AncestryDNA match with cM values, relationships and known shared ancestors, and added one new ThruLines to RootsMagic.  

8)  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 44,894 of my RootsMagic persons with FamilySearch Family Tree profiles (up 136).

9)  Used Web Hints and Record Matches from Ancestry, MyHeritage, Findmypast and FamilySearch to add content and source citations to my RootsMagic profiles.  I now have 66,118 persons in my RootsMagic file (up 130), and 142,706 source citations (up 223).   I did not TreeShare with my Ancestry Member Tree, and I resolved 774 Ancestry Hints.  I've fallen behind on the Ancestry Record Hints with 158,780 to be resolved, but I work on them almost daily. 

10)  Wrote 18 Genea-Musings blog posts the past week, of which two were a press release.  The most viewed post the past week was Amanuensis Monday -- 1834 Deed of Aaron and Mercy Smith Gifting Land in Medfield, Massachusetts to Aaron Smith Jr.  with over 435 views.   

11)  I am still fine here at the Genea-cave, hunkered down and not going out much after Week 80 of COVID-19 isolation.  Linda is at a memory care and skilled nursing facility in Chula Vista 7 miles from home and I visit her for an hour every day.  The physical therapists came twice last week and have her up and walking a bit with the walker.  The Padres season ended, and the Padres finished 79-83 (1-5 the past week).  I went to the grocery store on Monday and Friday. Other than that, it was stay-at-home on the computer doing (mainly) genealogy, plus eating, sleeping, laundry, cleaning, cooking, watching TV news and sports, reading books, napping, and a little yard work.
