"4'ly I Will and Bequeath unto my Daughters Mary Elisabeth and Patience Three Hundred Pounds to be Paid unto them fifty Pounds Each at y'e end of one year and an half Next after my Decease and the other Part which is fifty pounds each to be paid unto them att three years End next after y'e Decease of my Wife Grace, to be Paid unto them Respectively in Good and Lawfull Bills of Creditt on the Province afores'd or in other species current with y'e Merchant at Money price at y'e Respective Days and times of Payment."
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 -- Gertrude Fanny Seaver Dies in 1963 in Ithaca, Michigan

 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 Lansing [Mich.] State Journal newspaper dated 6 March 1963:

The transcription of the article is:

"Gertrude F. Seaver

"ITHACA -- Mrs. Gertrude Fanny Seaver, 74, of 225 E. Emerson St., died Tuesday in a Wyandotte hospital.  She is survived by the husband, Bert; one daughter, Mrs. Janet Bublitz of South Ile; one son, Lewis of Grosse Ile; one sister, Mrs. Gladys Eggerman of Cleveland, and three grandchildren.  Services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Beebe Funeral Home here.  Burial will be in Ithaca Cemetery."

The source citation is:

"Gertrude F. Seaver," Lansing [Mich.] State Journal newspaper, Wednesday, 6 March 1963, page 52, column 3, Gertrude F. Seaver obituary; Newspapers.com   (https://www.newspapers.com : accessed 14 April 2022).

This obituary mainly includes the family members of Gertrude F. Seaver, including the names of her husband, children and sister, plus her residence but no social affiliations,   

Gertrude Fanny Lewis was born 25 July 1888 in Ithaca, Michigan, the daughter of Henry E. and Fanny E. (Brown) Lewis.  She married Milo Bert Seaver (1887-1978) on 3 June 1909 in Ithaca, Michigan.  They had two children:

*  Lewis Ivan Seaver (1911-1990), married 1949 Mary Elizabeth Plant (1920-1999).
*  Jeannette F. Seaver (1913-1977), married 1941 Frederick William Bublitz (1915-1992).

Milo Bert Seaver (1887-1978) is a 5th cousin 3 times removed of mine.  Our most recent common Seaver ancestor is my 7th great-grandfather Joseph Seaver (1672-1754).

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 few relatives. I am glad that I can honor Gertrude Fanny (Lewis)  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 - 1719 Marriage of James Mainard and Mary Morse 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 1719 marriage entry for Joseph Mainard and Mary Morse  in the Marlborough, Massachusetts vital records book:

The birth entry is the 5th entry from the Mainard listings:

The transcription of this record is:

"[MAINARD] James and Mary Morse, Jan. 6, 1718-19. [Dec 15, 1718, C.R.]"

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), Marriages, page 282, James Mainard and Mary Morse marriage entry, 6 January 1718/9.

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 marriage of James Mainard and Mary Morse on 6 January 1718/9 in Marlborough.  The date in brackets is probably the date of filing intentions in the Marlborough church record book.
   
James Mainard (1694-????) was the son of John and Lydia (Ward) Mainard of Marlborough.  Mary Morse (1697-????) was the daughter of Joseph and Grace (Warren) Morse of Marlborough. James Mainard married 6 January 1718/9 to Mary Morse (1697-????) in Marlborough.  They are  my 6th great-grandparents, through their daughter Lydia Maynard (1722-1802).

Rabbit Holes With Randy - Genealogy Society Support

 This week's "rabbit hole" is actually a series of monthly tasks that I perform to support my local genealogical society.  For 30 years, I have been a member of the Chula Vista Genealogical Society which has grown from a local small society with 20-30 members to a local society with 80 to 100 members over time.  It stated by meeting monthly at the local library in a conference room and eventually moving up to the 150 seat auditorium.  And then COVID hit and we went 100% online using Zoom meetings.  The membership dropped to around 70 in the first year, and has grown a bit back to 95 members in the past year, mainly from out-of-town memberships to genealogists who want genealogy help and education.

After I retired from full-time employment in 2002, I joined the CVGS Board of Directors as Research and Queries Chair, then Treasurer, then Program Director, and then President in the 2007-2008 years.  After that, I retained the R&Q chair (but we don't get many queries or help requests anymore) became the Newsletter Editor in 2009, and still hold that position.  Every month, we have these meetings:

1)  A Board Meeting (now on first Wednesday) with the five elected Directors and the 7 to 10 appointed Chairs.  We perform the typical board tasks - reviewing previous projects, approving upcoming projects, setting budgets, providing reports, etc.  

2)  As Research and Queries Chair since 2003, I host and moderate a monthly Research Group meeting (now on second Wednesday).  I usually spend an hour reviewing the genealogy industry news, software, databases, etc., and then we go around the table to discuss the research questions, successes and challenges that the attendees have.  This has evolved from 8 to 12 local members around the conference room table at the Chula Vista library until 2020, and now with 25-35 local and distant members and guests in a Zoom meeting.  Each meeting takes me 2 to 4 hours to prepare, and 2 hours to execute.  The members range in research experience and knowledge from beginning to advanced.  

3)  As Research and Queries Chair, I also host and moderate a monthly DNA  Interest Group meeting (started in 2015, now on third Wednesday).  I usually spend an hour reviewing the genetic genealogy news and demonstrate different tasks, and then go around the table to discuss attendees' questions, successes and problems.  This started with 6 to 10 local members around the conference table at the library, and since 2020 in a Zoom meeting with 20-35 local and distant members and guests.  Each meeting takes me 2 to 4 hours to prepare, and 2 hours to execute.

4)  As Newsletter Editor since 2009, I write, edit and publish a 10 to 12 page monthly newsletter on the weekend following the Board meeting.  The newsletter highlights the upcoming monthly program by a speaker, a summary of the past program, a report on what was discussed at the past Research Group and DNA Interest Group, a Spotlight article (written by another member) of a member, a President's report, an Education Chair report, upcoming Family Tree Webinars or genealogy TV shows, a list of helpful genealogy blog posts and YouTube videos, conference reviews, an occasional article by a genealogy writer, upcoming local society meetings and state or national conferences, a calendar page and a genealogy funny.  Before COVID we were distributing 20-30 newsletters by postal mail to members without email, and by email to the other members.  We discontinued the postal mail when COVID hit.  I spend 3 to 4 hours publishing the newsletter each month.

5)  I hold the society Zoom account, so I create the Zoom meeting for four meetings each month, distribute to Zoom link, and also host the program meeting.  

This rabbit hole consumes about 20 hours each month, but it's well worth the effort.  It helps the society grow, educates and informs the members, and provides connections between the local members and the rest of the genealogy world.  

We all miss being in the physical presence of our friends and colleagues, and the in-person program meetings usually included a snack table and interaction with new members and the speakers.  The biggest benefit of COVID for us was the ability to obtain excellent speakers from all over the world for a reasonable cost to the society.  When we do go back to in-person meetings, we anticipate doing hybrid meetings with some local members in an auditorium or conference room and local or distant attendees watching via Zoom.

Easter week is here, so I need to get the jelly beans and See's candy out for the big kid in the house to search for and enjoy.  

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

Disclosure:  I receive a complimentary subscription to MyHeritage, and have received other material consideration in past years.  I uploaded my autosomal DNA raw data to their DNA product.  This does not affect my objective analysis of MyHeritage products.

Ancestry® Introduces SideViewTM, a First-Of-Its-Kind Technology That Gives Individuals Greater DNA Insights

 I received this information form Ancestry.com today:

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

Ancestry® Introduces SideViewTM, a First-Of-Its-Kind Technology That Gives Individuals Greater DNA Insights

SideViewTM unlocks new insights by identifying DNA inheritance by parent

LEHI, Utah -- April 13, 2022 – Ancestry®, the world leader in family history and consumer genomics, today unveiled SideViewTM technology, a first-of-its-kind scientific innovation that separates DNA into parental sides giving individuals new insights into which side of the family they inherited their genetics from. With more than 20 million people in its growing consumer DNA network, Ancestry is the first company to be able to provide this type of genomic information without requiring a parent to be tested.

Phasing the human genome into parental sides has been a problem that scientists have been trying to solve for decades. Now with SideViewTM technology, Ancestry can phase a customer’s entire genome using the DNA they share with relatives in the database, their DNA matches, providing an even greater level of detail for genomic discoveries. Grouping of matches is the first critical step in phasing DNA using SideViewTM technology. Because of the size of the AncestryDNA network, SideViewTM groups matches with a precision rate of 95% for 90% of Ancestry customers.

This process enables ethnicity inheritance - the newest AncestryDNA feature being powered by SideView™, which informs a customer which side of the family they received each of their estimated ethnicities from.

“Understanding ethnicity and community inheritance in more detail has been the number one request from Ancestry customers for years. In fact, in a recent survey, we learned that one in three people don’t feel knowledgeable about their family history and origins and want to learn more,” said Brian Donnelly, Senior Vice President and General Manager of AncestryDNA at Ancestry. “With our new SideView™ technology, we can now tell customers with great confidence from which side of the family they received their ethnicities and in the future, we’ll also be able to tell them which communities and DNA matches are from each side of the family.”

In the future, SideView™ will enable AncestryDNA customers to view DNA matches by parental side, see community and ancestral journey patterns for each parental side, and learn more about inherited DNA. By developing SideView™ technology, Ancestry is helping customers gain a more comprehensive understanding of their DNA results and their own family history.

Ethnicity inheritance, powered by SideView™ technology, is available now for all AncestryDNA customers. You can purchase an AncestryDNA kit by visiting www.ancestry.com.

For more information on Sideview™ technology, you can read our recent publication HERE.

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

Comment:  I received my SideViewTM information recently - here is mine:
You should be able to find your SideViewTM in your "DNA Story" page on AncestryDNA.  I will have more comments about this tool and my results in another post.

Disclosure:  I received a complimentary test kit from AncestryDNA a long time ago.  I have a complimentary all-access subscription from Ancestry.com, for which I am thankful. Ancestry.com has provided material considerations for travel expenses to meetings, and has hosted events and meals that I have attended in Salt Lake City, in past years.

Lunch In Puerto Vallarta -- Post 715 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 second 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 three days later in Puerto Vallarta.  We debarked there, took a tour of the beach and downtown areas, and ended up at a restaurant near La Jolla de Mismaloya beach.  Had a nice drink and lunch and some sun overlooking the ocean.
