Findmypast Friday: Quaker Deaths, Dorset Inscriptions, and Newspapers

I received this from Findmypast today:

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



Even more family history records added this Findmypast Friday

Findmypast add a brand-new Quaker record set in their weekly record release, plus monumental inscriptions

Quaker Deaths 1810-1918

This new collection from the Friends Historical Society Dublin covers 27,000 transcripts and images. They contain key biographical details, and for the more notable names, you may find obituaries and even portraits. The records go beyond Britain, with some from Madagascar, Fiji and New Zealand.

Dorset Monumental Inscriptions

Nearly 15,000 new transcripts have been added into this existing collection, with some dating back to 1294. The records contain final dedications, death year, and sometimes notes and next of kin. These have been provided by Somerset & Dorset Family History Society.

Newspapers

Nearly 75,000 pages have been added to Findmypast’s growing newspaper archive this week, covering four regional titles and one international title.

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

Several generations of the Maynard family were included in the Marlborough, Massachusetts town history book, but with only vital dates and without life details. James's birth and spouse's name are provided in the sketch[1].

The last name Maynard, Mainard and Mainord were interchangeable in the time period that James Maynard lived in Massachusetts Bay Colony.

James Maynard was born 31 March 1694 in Marlborough, Massachusetts Bay, the third child and third son of John and Lydia (Ward) Maynard[1,3].

He married Mary Morse (1697-????) on 6 January 1718/9 in Marlborough[4] at the age of 23.  She was the daughter of Joseph and Grace (Warren) Morse of Marlborough.  They had 11 children, and all but the first two were born in Westborough, Massachusetts Bay.

*  Beatee Maynard (1721-????).
*  Lydia Maynard (1722-1802), married 12 May 1742 in Westborough to David Bathrick (1722-1794).
*  James Maynard (1723-1773), married 6 November 1755 in Shrewsbury to Zeruah Johnson (1737-????).
*  Mary Maynard (1725-1801), married 5 October 1744 in Westborough to Ephraim Bruce (1724-1759).
*  Mariam Maynard (1726-1793), married 12 March 1752 in Westborough to Abraham Howe Beaman (1729-1815).
*  Phineas Maynard (1729-1772), married 8 January 1754 in Westborough to Dorothy Rice (1731-1793).
*  John Maynard (1731-????).
*  Abigail Maynard (1733-????), married 1 March 1754 in Southborough to Joshua Locke (1732-????).
*  Olif Maynard (1734-1744).
*  Amasa Maynard (1737-1822), married 20 September 1761 in Westborough to Jane Stone (1739-????).
*  Betty Maynard (1743-1756).

John Maynard, father of James, wrote his will on 15 April 1731 and it was proved in Middlesex County Probate Court on 14 June 1731[2].  In his will, John bequeathed to his son James:
"Item I give unto my beloved son James Maynard all the land and meadow Ground I have where he my said son James now Dwells be the same more or less, with a certain Lot of meadow scituate in a meadow called Great middle meadow being part of William Kerleys afore said his second devision of meadow in Marlborough be it more or less, also all the Right I have in the last Devision of meadow commonly called the common meadow, that belongs to me on my said Honoured father John Maynard Right, also ten acre town Right without said cow common belonging to John Ruttes his Grant in said marlborough."
The land bequeathed by his father to James Maynard was probably located in what is now Westborough in Worcester County, Massachusetts.

There are no death records, burial records, or probate records for James and Mary (Morse) Maynard.  Their last known child was born in 1743, and James and Mary probably died after 1743.

Seavers in the News -- Luvina Gilleland Seaver Dies in 1963 in Marion, Iowa

Here is this week's 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 [Cedar Rapids, Iowa]  Gazette newspaper dated 9 March 1963:

The transcription of the article is:

"Luvina Seaver

"Luvina Gilleland Seaver, widow of Robert Seaver and a Cedar Rapids resident 30 years, died at Marion Friday.  born in Michigan Sept. 3, 1880, she was a member of the Golden Age club and the Salvation Army.

"Surviving are three sons: Arno Gilliland of Warren, Ill., Theodore, of San Francisco and Clifford, of Cedar Rapids; a daughter, June Gardner of Cedar Rapids; a sister, Rena Craig of Cedar Rapids; a brother , Gordon Griffis of Estherville; six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

"Services: Sheets funeral home, Tipton, at a time to be announced."

The source citation is:

"Luvina Seaver," The Gazette [Cedar Rapids, Iowa] newspaper, Sturday, 9 March 1963, page 2, column 4, Luvina Gilleland Seaver obituary; Newspapers.com   (https://www.newspapers.com : accessed 6 April 2022).

This obituary mainly includes the family members of Luvina Gilleland Seaver, including the names of her children and siblings, plus her residence and social affiliations,   

Luvina May Griffis was born 3 September 1880 in Banger, Michigan, the daughter of  Joseph Oscar and Elsa (Holloway) Griffis.  She married (1) Samuel Clifford Gilliland (1878-1917) on 14 May 1899 in Spirit Lake, Iowa.  They had eight children.  She married (2) Robert Albert Seaver (1872-1945) on 13 April 1929 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  They had no children.

Robert Albert Seaver (1872-1945) is probably a cousin of mine, but is descended from John and Susanna (Trumbull) Seaver of Massachusetts, and I don't know the parents of John Seaver (1778-1841).

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's obituary contains many relatives.. I am glad that I can honor Luvina May (Gilleland) 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.

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

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

Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1697 Birth Record of Mary Morse (1697-????) in Marlborough, Massachusetts

  It's Treasure Chest Thursday - a chance to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.

The treasure today is the 1697 Birth entry for Mary Morse  in the Marlborough, Massachusetts vital records book:

The birth entry is the 10th entry from the Mors listings:

The transcription of this record is:

[MORS] Mary, d. Joseph and Grace, Oct. 13, 1697."

The source citation for this record is:

Franklin P. Rice (editor), Vital Records of Marlborough, Massachusetts, to the End of the Year 1849 (Boston, Mass. : Franklin P. Rice ,1908), page 123, Mary Mors birth entry, 13 October 1697, daughter of Joseph and Grace Morse.

This is an entry in a published Marlborough, Massachusetts vital record book.  It is a Derivative Source with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the birth of Mary Mors on 13 October 1697 and his parents first names. 
   
Mary Morse (1697-????) was the daughter of Joseph and Grace (Warren) Morse of Marlborough. James Mainord married 6 January 1718/9 to Mary Morse (1697-????) in Marlborough.  They are  my 6th great-grandparents, through their daughter Lydia Maynard (1722-1802).

FamilySearch: Volunteers Gear Up to Make History with 1950 US Census Community Project

I received this from FamilySearch today:

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

 Volunteers Gear Up to Make History with 

1950 US Census Community Project 

Crowdsourcing Effort Will Help Make Census Search

Experience More Accurate and Available Sooner

 

A picture containing text, sign Description automatically generatedSALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, 6 April 2022—The biggest thing in family history in 2022 is here, and thousands of volunteers are geared up to stake their claim to a piece of history. The 1950 US Census, containing the records of 150 million Americans living in the United States in 1950, has been archived for 72 years in accordance with US laws. On Friday, April 1, 2022, the digital images of the Census pages were released to the public, and now thousands of online volunteers are helping to make a computer-generated index of the census highly searchable and accurate for everyone. Find out more at 1950 US Census Community Project.

Unlike releases of previous US Census records, the first transcription or indexing pass for the 1950 is being done by computers, not humans. In the past 10 years, computer technology, including artificial intelligence, has advanced to the point where computers are now able to “read” handwriting with a high degree of accuracy—as much as 80%. Still, when it comes to searching for ancestors, an 80% result is insufficient.

“When searching for your ancestors, you want as close to 100% accuracy as you can get with a searchable index,” said Jim Ericson, FamilySearch marketing manager for the initiative. “This is why we need thousands of human volunteers who can lend their intelligence and time to improving the accuracy of these published records. Doing so will enable family historians to experience high success rates in discovering their ancestors in the 1950 US Census.”

How to Get Involved

To participate, all that online volunteers need is a smart phone or web-enabled device like a laptop or computer. Volunteers wanting to make their mark on history can help by reviewing the computer-transcribed census information online, using a simple mobile app or web feature (learn more or get involved at FamilySearch.org/1950Census). The technology engages volunteers by letting them look at highlighted snippets of information from the original handwritten images of the census so volunteers can correct or approve the computer’s work. Each activity only takes a few minutes and is self-explanatory. What’s more, individuals can request to work on specific locations (state and county) and surnames.

Reviewing the census information is available in 3 different activities: Name Review, Family Review, and Header Review.

1. Name Review

This activity presents a single name at a time for the volunteer to check for accuracy. If it matches, click Match. If it doesn’t, click Edit, and fix the spelling to match the name on the image. If you’re not sure, click Unsure. Name Review will be released first and will be available in both the FamilySearch Get Involved mobile app (Download from the App Store for Android or IOS) and at FamilySearch.org.



2. Family Review

Family Review is the main activity for reviewing the census. You will be shown an individual “head of household” and then instructed to mark who is in that household. You will then compare each field on the image to the index to verify that they match. If the computer got it wrong, you can correct the index.

Title: Inserting image...

Title: Inserting image...


3. Header Review

In this activity, you will review the information at the top of the census page and compare it to the index below, again fixing what doesn’t match.

Title: Inserting image...


For the 1950 Census Community Project, the machine-generated index is being produced by the handwriting recognition artificial intelligence of Ancestry.com. The crowdsourcing technology allowing volunteers to refine the machine index is FamilySearch Get Involved. As states are completed, they will be fully searchable at FamilySearch.org and Ancestry.com.

If you’re interested in participating, go to FamilySearch.org/1950Census for more information or to start helping.

Rabbit Holes With Randy -- Chasing 1950 United States Census Records

 The biggest rabbit hole in the past week was the 1950 United States Census on National Archives, Ancestry, MyHeritage and FamilySearch.  

On Thursday night, 31 March, I checked in on the National Archives site right at 9 p.m. PDT, and was able to quickly find my family at 2119 30th Street in San Diego in ED 72-293 just like I hoped.  I tried the name search first, and Seaver gave me a hit on the top of page 14 for my brother- my parents and I were on page 13 so I had to go back and load the ED images and find them.  My maternal grandparents were on the same page because they resided at 2115 30th Street.

I looked for Linda's parents family in San Francisco in ED 38-1155 and had to browse to find them because Leland is a fairly common last name.  That was it for Thursday night  I went to bed after writing I Found My Family in the 1950 U.S. Census by 9:02 p.m.

On Friday morning, I searched for more of the names on my list, visited Linda, and wrote about the process to find my family in Finding My Parents Family in San Diego in the 1950 U.S. Census.  After that, I searched for more of my Seaver relatives in Massachusetts, including my aunts and uncles and my paternal grandmother with some success.  

During Friday, MyHeritage put out a press release that they already had the census images online for browsing by ED, and I posted MyHeritage Has 1950 U.S. Census Images Online - Updated Again!  Unfortunately, they had a glitch and only the first image of each ED was visible.  I wrote notes on email and Facebook to alert them but it was already midnight in Israel.  

On Friday afternoon PDT, Ancestry posted on Facebook that they had some images online, and I posted Ancestry.com Has Partial 1950 U.S. Census Enumeration Sheets Online.  There were 34 states on their list at the time.

On Saturday morning I visited Linda and then watched the SDGS DNA Interest Group presentation, and after lunch I searched for more folks on my target person list using mainly ED searches on Ancestry. 

By Saturday afternoon, MyHeriage had all of the images online before 2 p.m. PDT.  Ancestry had them all soon after (I didn't note the time).

On Sunday morning, I wrote The State of the 1950 United States Census - 3 April 2022 to summarize what I knew then with research tips.  I hope they helped.  By this time, Ancestry and MyHeritage had all of the images available online, and FamilySearch about 98% of them.  I also went to visit Linda.

On Sunday afternoon, I searched for records in EDs for the last people on my target person list, and then added more persons as targets and found their addresses using Ancestry records and EDs using the Ancestry ED Finder.  

I presently have 31 families on my target person list, and have found 20 of them.  I still have 9 that I had an ED for but have been unable to find, and 2 that I have an ED for and have not searched for yet.

With each "found" census entry, I download the image, rename it, and put it in a 1950 census folder for now.  I mark the target person list with a D for Download in the "Found" column.  I wrote source citations for several of my close family, and when I add them to RootsMagic, I add an S to my target person list in the "Found" column.  I need to update my target person list to improve the readability of the list after marking up and/or crossing out EDs and addresses.

On Monday, I shared some of my finds in the Mondays with Myrt webinar, and sent an email to my CVGS mailing list with a link to my The State of the 1950 United States Census - 3 April 2022 blog post and to encourage them to use the available systems.  Several have had success.  

After reviewing Facebook over the past five days, I was amazed (and disappointed) that, even with all of the announcements and videos and blogs, more people went into this exercise unprepared - no target list, no addresses, no EDS, and many were mortified that the NARA index was incomplete and that Ancestry did not have an index yet.  Most of the professional people I know were prepared and many highlighted their experiences, but for many of them our posts were the first they heard about it.  

Today, I climbed out of the 1950 Census rabbit hole, slept in a bit, visited Linda, watched some of the Padres spring training game, and did some housecleaning because my brother-in-law is coming on Wednesday.  I did have carrots for a snack, though!

Randy and Linda in Cabo San Lucas in March 2005 -- Post 714 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday

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

The first stop on our 35th wedding anniversary cruise in March 2005 to the Mexican Riviera aboard the Holland America Oosterdam  after leaving San Diego in the evening was two days later in Cabo San Lucas.  We debarked there, and took a short tour of downtown, and stopped at a resort right on the water for a rest and a drink.
