1. Re: [ADVANRES] Township confusion - Old Lycoming Township / Lycoming Township, PA [1]
Hi Kevin; I think that is a personal decision. Purists would say to use the first (chronologically) name. In my database, I use the name where the records would be located, then explain the name changes in the text part that is attached to the record. Best wishes, Dana At 01:05 PM 1/5/2004, you wrote: >All, > >In cleaning up my places, I've been struggling with how to enter / use these >two townships based on the following information: > >Lycoming Township was originally formed in 1785 as a part of N
2. [ADVANRES] First Name Variations [1]
Does anyone feel confident enough about early 1700s naming habits to remark on whether Jonas and John can ever be interchangeable, or were they as different as John and Joseph? The group I am dealing with (early Swedes) used Johan/Johannes for John in the 1600s. I think Jonas is a bona fide separate name, but cannot be sure as I have not a found a family with two separate sons with those two separate names, which would clarify matters. This is a crucial bit of information for me in narrowing down

4. Re: [ADVANRES] Bounty Land Records - Need Help [1]
Hi Diana, The BLM GLO site states that the 1818 tract was on authority of the Scrip Warrant Act of 1812. This promised 160 acres to privates and NCOs who enlisted in regiments raised by Congress and served for 5 years, unless discharged sooner or killed. The act of 1850 extended bounty land to officers and enlisted men WHO HAD NOT PREVIOUSLY RECEIVED LAND and who had served in any war since 1790, including Indian Wars. Different amounts of land for different lengths of service, the minimum service being
5. Re: [ADVANRES] Ancestry and Heritage Quest 1920 Census [1]
Bob: I duplicated your efforts and found this: On Ancestry, you will note that it says at the top of the census page for township "Civil District 4." Also, you will note that there is a stamped page number at the top: "88". In my experience with Heritage Quest census indexes, that they use that stamped number rather than the handwritten number to the far right. (Although not always!) So, then I went to the appropiate HQ census and chose "District 4" which takes me to page 80a. I type in 88a in
6. [ADVANRES] Ancestry and Heritage Quest 1920 Census [1]
I found a family that I was looking for on the 1920 Ancestry Census Index. I only knew the son's name and the county, Jefferson County TN, he was from. He, Clifford W Patton, was not in the Ancestry index. I looked for all Pattons in Jefferson County and only two came up, both William. I looked at the younger and when I looked at the image there was Clifford age 20. However the image was very poor and even with best quality I could not make out the mother's name or that of some of the 8 children. So

GeneaPro is now in the planning phase of very ambitious genealogical software project. The project starts with a commitment to be truly cross-platform, OS independent (Windows, Linux, Unix, etc.), multi-user, and Open Source. And to add to the challenge, implementing the rigorous and complex GenTech Genealogical Data Model, a feat which has not yet been performed by any commercial developers or open source effort. While planning and design has just begun, some general technical directions and requirements

Dana, Thanks, that seems to be the prevailing opinion. And I believe that is what I will do, because that is where the event actually took place, which is the style I have been working towards. My notes are good so there should be no confusion at a later date.

9. [ADVANRES] Deed- Date of Sale v. Recording Date [1]
Because I had such a good response with my bounty land question yesterday, I figured I could ask about a copy of a deed I got a few years ago that has me pondering why it was recorded years after the land was sold. The Deed was signed by my ancestor (the grantor) April 30, 1835. The Clerk also affixes his private seal on that date "there being, as yet no official seal provided". My ancestor died in the next five years and I don't when or where and am sure hoping to find out one day. So, I wonder

11. [ADVANRES] Township confusion - Old Lycoming Township / Lycoming Township, PA [1]
All, In cleaning up my places, I've been struggling with how to enter / use these two townships based on the following information: Lycoming Township was originally formed in 1785 as a part of Northumberland County. Lycoming County was formed from Northumberland County in 1795, which included the township of Lycoming. In 1858 Lycoming Township was split, to form Old Lycoming Township and Lycoming Township. Although I have seen reference to Old Lycoming township being formed in 1785, so it appears that
12. Re: [ADVANRES] Township confusion - Old Lycoming Township / Lycoming Township, PA [1]
I always use the place name under which you would find the information so - it would be different for the two different census - in my notes so I don't get confused or they moved - I reference nka and the current location.

Is it possible she immigrated through Ellis Island? Try checking their records online.
14. Re: [ADVANRES] Deed- Date of Sale v. Recording Date [1]
Thank you for the education about the deed recording date. I really appreciate it. I now understand that this date may have something to do with what is going on with the grantees or their heirs, but has absolutely nothing to do with the grantor. Thanks again! Diana
15. [ADVANRES] BRELAND or TANNER (RUDD) [1]
I have a mystery concerning the use of 2 different surnames by the same woman that I would like some advice about. Elias David RUDD had a wife named Fannie. She was born between 1785-95 probably in Beaufort Co., SC. She died in 1855 in Gadsden Co., FL. Previous researchers of this RUDD family line have noted her name as Frances BRELAND TANNER. I've come to question this name as being her actual name since I find no document or evidence that relates her name in this manner. However, I have a copy of
16. [ADVANRES] place of birth [1]
Hello, my name is Marcel Lesaar and I try to find more inforamtion about my family members, who went from Germany to the USA. Now I have the following problem: One of my family members died in 1935 in Detroit. She was born in Europe. I have the death certificate but there is now place of birth mentioned. Can anybodey help me and give me a hint where how I can get the information in which town she was born? Thanks for your help. Bye. Marcel
17. Re: [ADVANRES] place of birth [1]
Hello Marcel, Since I do not know what data you have found about your relative, my apologies if some of my suggestions are for approaches you have already tried or you do not have the necessary information to try. When did she emigrate? Lists of passenger arriving at U.S. ports from the 1840s through 1897 can be found in volumes called Germans to America. Check this site for sources having them. http://www.genealogienetz.de/misc/emig/gta-holdings.html Have you checked the census records for the years fo
18. Re: [ADVANRES] Deed- Date of Sale v. Recording Date [1]
You may want to check when the grantee sold the land in question. One of my ancestors bought and sold quite a bit of land, but he never recorded the deed showing his purchase. This was done when he was about the transfer the property to someone else. The clerk always showed that it was "recorded at the request of" the new grantee. This was in Blaine and Gooding County, Idaho. I am told this happened quite a bit within families also, if the transfer was due to primogeniture. (Oldest son obtained
19. [ADVANRES] Bounty Land Records - Need Help [1]
I have a question regarding land records. First of all, at the BLM Web site, I found a James Mullica purchased or received land in Hancock Co., Ilinois July 18, 1818 based on military service (War of 1812). This is not an ancestor, but a surname I am researching and this land record was a mystery to me because there were never Mullicas in that area. So, I ordered the Bounty Land Application from the National Archives. It turns out, those papers are dated 1864 and James was applying for bount

MULLICA JAMES SE 35 05N 08W 4 07/08/1818 HANCOCK County Clerk should have an Index of sales, by Granter and Grantee, from that you can get a copy of the deed. Also check http://www.ilsos.net/departments/archives/data_lan.html and see if Illinois records match NARA The other part of the site has marriage records http://www.ilsos.net/departments/archives/databases.html Two Mullica marriages one in Fulton County, one in McLean County.

21. Re: [ADVANRES] Deed- Date of Sale v. Recording Date [1]
You don't mention where the land was located, but not all places had daily access to "officials" to record such things. Someone local kept track of transactions until the proper authorities came around from larger towns (several times a year to once a month) to make an "official" record of the transaction. In some places, the U.S. government didn't really own the land they were giving away or selling. 1837 is the year of the Cherokee removal, so if you are talking about property "owned" prior to that, it's
