TIPS FROM READERS: Making Those Phone Calls By Gretchen Ferdinand Having too much time on my hands one day, I decided to see if Google's search engine would bring anything up on various people. A great-uncle that was a bit of a mystery (he moved to Mexico as a young man) had a son named Joseph Dane KIMBALL. No one in the family knew anything about the son or his mother. Thinking that Dane was a little out of the ordinary for a middle name, I entered it and hit search. There it was, a phone listing in Victoria, British Columbia in 2002. California to Mexico to Canada -- couldn't be or could it? Long story short, I called the number and discovered the widow of Joseph Dane Kimball, he had passed away in 2002 and the number was no longer in his name. She and I have been trading history and photos and I plan a visit this summer, I am in Washington state so we are fairly close. The point of this story is, make the phone call or write the letter, you never know what you'll find. Still googling in Washington. * * * Stone by Stone Research By Nancy L. Jones Having worked on my family history for the past 18 years I knew one of these days I'd loosen the stones in the four walls I still have standing. I've been searching for the parents, siblings, grandparents, etc. of one set of 2-great-grandparents, Daniel and Lydia (SCHWENK) HOFFMAN, for so long I began to think they'd arrived here by spaceship. While searching for SCHWENKs in Pennsylvania through your WorldConnect searches, I found a George SCHWENK and a Solomon SCHWENK, one county over from where all my family originated. In the 1860 census listed in the entry I found for George were two servants, Sarah (age 15) and Henry (age 8) HOFFMAN; for Solomon, next door, were two servants, George (age 10) and Amanda (age 13) HOFFMAN. These four children belonged to my Daniel and Lydia! George and his wife, Rachel, never had children so I could understand a niece and nephew helping on the farm; the same with Solomon and his wife, Sallyann, whose children didn't start arriving till 1862. Were Daniel and Lydia so poor that their children were farmed out to her brothers? Was Lydia sick that she couldn't care for the children? Or was this how the children spent their summer vacation? These questions remain but I'll eventually track down the answers. One added reward to finding this information: George and Solomon's mother, Maria, was living with Solomon in the 1860, 1870, and 1880 censuses. Had I not done a broad search for the SCHWENK name, born and died in Pennsylvania I never would have been able to loosen the stones in this wall. 1c. USING ROOTSWEB: Conquering the Abbreviation Quagmire You are searching WorldConnect as you do on a regular basis for newly submitted GEDCOMs that might help you break down your 20-year brick wall in your quest to discover the names of the parents of your elusive Abraham ARBUCKLE. Your heart skips a beat when you find what could be a match to your elusive ARBUCKLEs. You click the link with the highest expectations only to find: Abraham ARBUCKLE, born in Fairview. Fairview -- where? Well, maybe there's additional information in the GEDCOM about the mysterious "Fairview." You look around at other related names in the family tree and find that Fairview is in "IT." Hmm, is that Italy or Indian Territory in the USA or might that abbreviation have some other obscure meaning? Undaunted, you read on. Abraham ARBUCKLE married Barbara HOFF in Monroe. Now where is Monroe? Is it a town or a county in the USA? Might it be a location in another country? The GEDCOM also tells you that Barbara was born in HE. Now where in He** is He? You don't really think that Barbara was born in that place that never freezes over, but you haven't a clue as to where "He" might be. You begin to feel that your brain cells are starting to freeze over, but then you take a look at your own family tree on WorldConnect and realize that you have not been any clearer in listing various locations than this submitter has been. And, oh the inconsistencies in the format. You listed Abraham's son Marmaduke ARBUCKLE as having been born in Jefferson -- but Jefferson where? Well, you know that you meant Jefferson in Jefferson County, Wisconsin. But, perhaps not everyone who finds Marmaduke ARBUCKLE in a search will know that you are not referring to a Jefferson in Gloucester County, New Jersey or a Jefferson in Carroll County, Mississippi or one of a host of other Jeffersons. Or maybe Jefferson is a county -- after all there are 26 U.S. states that have Jefferson counties. Remember that it is best when uploading or posting family history information to cut out the abbreviations. Saving a few keystrokes is counterproductive to genealogical researching. Message boards, mailing lists and WorldConnect are international in scope. Take the time to spell out the localities and give complete ones, including the country, so there is no guessing or confusion. Don't assume everyone is American or is fluent in English -- our branches are entwined around the globe -- thanks to our wandering ancestors. Go back and take a look at your old message board and mailing list posts to see if you have been completely clear about locations. The general rule about recording localities (places) is to start from the smallest division and go to largest: village/town, then county/parish, then province/state, and finally the country. If you know only the town or city in which a genealogical event occurred, consult a gazetteer to find the name of the county, parish, province, etc. that it is in. When you know the U.S. town, but not the county, type in the name of town and state here: http://resources.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/townco.cgi Put the U.S. county's name and leave the state's name blank and you will get a list of the states with a county by that name. http://resources.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/county.cgi Can't figure out some country or regional abbreviations?

By Stacey Wenzel Golden (who is now waiting patiently for the 1940 census to become available) I have been one of the lucky ones, as far as genealogy goes. The bulk of my genealogy was painstakingly researched by my maternal great-aunt over 40 years ago, back when traveling to libraries, courthouses, and corresponding with distant cousins was the only way to gain access to each precious tidbit. I have not been so lucky on my paternal side. Armed with only scant knowledge of my four great-grandparents, who arrived from Germany sometime in the 1800s, I have fine-tuned my own researching skills. With the wonderful tools available on RootsWeb, I have been able to trace my family back to their native German cities and follow their paths to America, where they finally settled in Chicago. As each census year became available for research online, more information was gleaned (As luck would have it, all four arrived the year BEFORE Ellis Island records were compiled!) Only one mystery remained -- and that was information about my father, the one who had given me the original pieces to begin my German ancestry search in the first place. I have never been able to trace his early childhood history. When did his mother divorce and remarry (he was raised by a stepfather)? Where did he spend his early childhood? At what age did he go to live with his grandmother? I had heard these stories as a child, but never had any collaborating evidence. When the 1930 census became available online I was elated! He was born in 1924, so I knew he would show up as a six-year-old boy and I'd get some of my questions answered. But my questions remained unanswered. There was no Walter WENZEL, born in 1924. I checked using his step- father's name, But no Walter KRETZ, either. And no Wallys, Williams, Bills or anything else that remotely matched. His mother's, father's and stepfather's names yielded no results either. Finally, last year, I had a breakthrough. My father told me years before, about a time when, as a young boy he had run away from home and was aided by his neighbor friend who brought him peanut butter sandwiches to his hiding place for a week. I asked my older sister about this incident and she added information she had heard from dad. Yes, he had run away when he was six years old and, in fact, the neighborhood friend who helped him, his best friend, was the brother of the well-known Hawaiian singer, Don HO. My father's stepfather was stationed next door to them, in Hawaii, and Don Ho's grandmother was his babysitter. Armed with this clue, I searched for the Ho family and, finding them immediately, I was able to search their neighbor's records. There he was! My father was listed as living with his mother and stepfather in Hawaii, in 1930. The handwritten last name was spelled differently on the original document, which was why he did not show up in the index searches. My paternal search has finally come to a finish. Persistence and creativity really are the keys when looking for those last few bits of completing evidence. * * * Did you leap over some brick walls or cleverly figure out where your grandmother was hiding in a census?

FROM ROOTSWEB REVIEW'S BOTTOMLESS MAILBAG [Editor's note: The opinions expressed herein are those of the authors and are not necessarily those of the editor or of RootsWeb.com]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Finding Her Final Resting Place By MDB My mother's mother's mother, Mary Elizabeth BARNETT, was the brick wall in both my Uncle Gene's genealogical search as well as mine. His grandmother died before he was born and all he knew were a few scattered names of uncles and aunts -- John, James, Helen, Alice. And, then there was Aunt Bessie (BARNETT) McBRIDE. I had a vague memory of meeting this woman back in the late '60s, when she was in her 90s, so I knew she wasn't a figment of anyone's information; I just didn't know how she fit into the family tree. Was she a blood related aunt, a sister-in-law, or even an aunt-in-law? The sticking point was that we began our search before the Internet censuses searches were even a glimmer in someone's eyes. My elderly uncle was in no shape to pore over census images, and I had no idea where to start. The only concrete information my uncle had was his grandmother's death date. Why it never occurred to me to send away for her death certificate for all those years, I'm not sure. But one day it occurred to me to do so. I knew her maiden name, her married name, the city and state, and the exact date. The death certificate was ordered, received and disappointingly, provided very little useful information. Apparently, her husband/great-grandpa was away at sea when his wife died, and there was no one around who knew anything about her family, so both parents' names were marked "Unknown." There was, however, a cryptic note scrawled across the bottom that took a while to decipher, and at the time, I had no idea that it was the key to cracking the family mystery. So it was quite some time after that I realized that the note, to the effect that her body was being shipped to Renovo, Pennsylvania for burial, that there had to be someone in Renovo to take care of the arrangements on that end and changes were good to excellent that that someone was family. With that clue, I went to the 1900 census, where I was sure I would find her as a young girl but never could find her because of the commonality of her name (and my grandmother was born in 1911, and had an older brother, so she was Mary E. ROWE in the 1910 census). Centering on Renovo, Clinton County, Pennsylvania, I immediately was able to pick out a household headed by J.W. BARNETT, widower, with children James F., John, Helen, Alice, and -- Mary E.! By 1910, J.W. was gone, and other siblings scattered, but James F. lingered on through the 1930 Renovo census, putting him in exactly the right position to receive his sister's body for burial. I placed an on- line query for help locating BARNETT burial records in Renovo, and a wonderful gentleman at the Clinton County Historical Society, Robert SCHADT responded with tombstone inscriptions for James F, his wife Mamie (Mary Catherine) and for Mary E. BARNETT ROWE. At last, great-grandmom was found. Alas, too late for Uncle Gene, as he passed away a number of years ago. Mr. SCHADT also provided funeral home records that proved to contain parents' name information that I have never had before. With this information, the brick wall finally came down, and great-grandmom is no longer a mystery trapped in time, but a real person with a real family and a real resting place. And Aunt Bessie? She turned out to be none other than sister Helen BARNETT MCBRIDE. I was then able to track her to upper state New York where she moved right after marriage and where she still was, at age 92, in my vague memories of the late 1960s.. * * * Vaulting Over Perfect Expectations By Charles I. Davis in Eureka, California I have enjoyed some of the stories about names that are spelled differently. Here is how it happened to me: I was searching some Sutter County, California Census records, looking for my great-grandfather, Washington Alden PINNEY. I had already found him in the 1870, 1880, 1900 and 1910 census. He died in 1929 so I knew he wouldn't be in the 1930 census. But after several years of searching, I still couldn't find him in the 1920 census. I found a William A. PINNEY. He was born in California; his father was born in Vermont and his mother was born in New York. I spent an hour searching Familysearch.org, Rootsweb.com, and Ancestry.com. for this particular PINNEY. I finally gave up and added him to my files just in case I found more on him later. Then I went back to the census record. This time I noticed a similarity between this William A. PINNEY and my great-grandfather, Washington Alden PINNEY. This is what I found: 1920 federal census, Yuba Twp., Sutter Co., Calif.; Enumerated 19 Feb 1920; Sheet 15B; Line 95, Dwell. ?, Family ?: Wm. A. PINNEY, head, owns home free, m, w, 54, wid., b CA, F b VT, M b NY, farmer; Richard W. PINNEY, son, m, w, 25, md, b CA, F b CA, M b MO; Matina PINNEY, dau, f, w, 21, md, b OK, Par b OK This is what it should have been: 1920 federal census, Yuba Twp., Sutter Co.,Calif.; Enumerated 19 Feb 1920; Sheet 15B; Line 95, Dwell ?, Family ?: Washington A. PINNEY, head, owns home free, m, w, 54, div, b CA, F b VT, M b NY, farmer; Roy Washington PINNEY, son, m, w, 25, md, b CA, F b CA, M b MO; Martina PINNEY, dau-in-law, f, w, 21, md, b OK, Par b Arkansas And here's the kicker -- his neighbor was Fred B. HENDERSHOT, age 32, his wife Lula M. HENDERSHOT, age 27 and his two daughters: Dorothy HENDERSHOT, age 3, and Marie BUCKINGHAM, age 9. He was living next door to his daughter, Lula [PINNEY] HENDERSHOT and her second husband. Dorothy was their daughter. Marie BUCKINGHAM [my mother] was Lula's daughter from her first marriage. It's things like this that make genealogy a real challenge. * * * Letting Go of a Curran Family By Judy Brezina I took care of William CURRAN, who died in 1997 in Seattle, Washington, where he had no family. He left several small files with death and birth certificates and other documents. He also left some photos of his mother, his grandmother and one of himself. His family was from Philadelphia. His mother was Anna HARRIS, born just outside of Dublin. His father was Edward Francis Xavier CURRAN. He told the story that his mother died when he was very young and the family gathered to decide what to do with him. He ended up staying with his father, who married Marie BOYER when William was about six or seven years old. I have tried without success to contact the people living in Philadelphia who were listed in his phone book. It has come to the time to let these things go. If you would like them and feel that you can either locate family or maybe would like to work on them, please feel free to e-mail me at Erwinslileden@aol.com (please put CURRAN in the subject line). 7. Humor/Humour: Preparing for Eternity ------------------------------------ Thanks to: Charnee Smit, who writes: Another thing St. Peter checks for is accurate sources on your Web-based genealogy. Just citing "Mary Smith's records" or "ancestral file" does not count. Just as with the Bible, you have to quote chapter and verse. And if you haven't updated your e-mail address so people can ask for more info, you're sure to be sent below! * * * Thanks to: James Gillespie, Fresno County, Calif. USGenweb volunteer: In reading the humor section it dawned on me that we assume we will go to the "Pearly Gates" with our Family Group Sheets in hand. Well, what happens if we go to the other place? Those Family Group Sheets could go up in flames, so we need to keep a backup as well as spread them around to relatives along with our backups. * * * Found a "proper name for the job" or humorous sign, amusing entries in census, parish, church, etc. records?
