You’re welcome

This is the most useful thing I’ve ever reblogged.

i used to think when people said my cousin twice removed that their cousin must’ve did some fucked up shit to get kicked out of the family twice

When I found this the first thing I thought was “now I can find out how Count Olaf is related to the Baudelaire children.”

Census Records Solve National Archives Adoption Mysteries

Deputy Archivist of the United States Debra Steidel Wall shares her personal journey of discovery in this latest National Archives News Standout Census Story, Using the U.S. Census to Solve Adoption Mysteries.The National Archives will release the records of the 1950 Census online on April 1, 2022.

Read the story to learn:

  • What sparked the Deputy Archivist’s interest in genealogy?
  • What did she learn through census records?
  • How she find her father’s biological parents?
  • How did she use old original records and modern apps to create extensive family trees?
  • How does she continue to help others discover their pasts and connect with relatives?
  • How did she use census records and DNA test results to connect NARA great Sam Anthony with his biological father just days before Sam died?

This newfound genetic genealogy hobby has again driven home to me the importance of our mission and our work at the National Archives. It’s both exhilarating and humbling to see firsthand how our records can make a highly personal and meaningful difference in someone’s life, including my own.

I’m eager for the 1950 Census release, and I’m grateful for the work National Archives staff is doing to prepare. I’ve got some more mysteries to solve.-Debra Steidel Wall

Thanks to Debra Steidel Wall’s genealogy research, Sam Anthony was able to identify his birth parents and connect with his biological father, Craig Nelson, just days before his death.

Read the incredible New York Times story:

After struggling with cancer for years, Sam Anthony was running out of time. Before he died, he found the courage to mail a letter that he had long been afraid to send.

How To Get Started on Building Your Family Tree Without Help From Elders

If you are like me, and do not have many elder family members to turn to for help in discovering your family history, here are a couple of things you can do to get yourself started.

  • Talk to siblings and cousins. Ask them for anything they remember, names, dates, addresses, cities, church/places of worship, schools, anything they can remember will be helpful.
  • Try and find any old objects: photos, papers, baby books, baptism, bible records-sometimes there is useful information written on the back of old photos and keepsakes such as dates, names, places.
  • Start charting it out. Write down what you know. Start a free family tree online. Or just get a piece of paper and a pen and start charting out what you already know so that you can transition that to an online tree or a free template downloaded from online.
  • What if you don’t have any siblings/cousins? If you don’t have any siblings or cousins, at least any that you are comfortable talking to, use yourself as a resource. What do you remember? Do you remember a last name, your grandmothers maiden name? A place your aunt or uncle may have lived with your grandparents? What church did they attend? Was it local? Even the most smallest thing that you can remember could be important.
  • Perhaps turn to the local genealogy society/group in your hometown, or your parents/grandparents hometown. Local groups can be a most valuable resource.

The beginning is usually the hardest, but use what you know, use these steps as a mini guide, and get started. Remember,  you can be your own most valuable resource.

Well I’ve officially started my genealogy course at the University of Strathclyde and am super excited. I am also grateful I chose he more slower-paced track so I have plenty of time to complete all assignments and readings.
So far so good. Was able to complete the first practice search and first forum postings.

Who else out there is attending a genealogy/family history related type class or course? Whether it’s in person or online. What do you like or dislike about it?

I just might have to try this and see what happens. I have been stuck on my parental 5x great grandfather from Mexico and can’t find any information on him.

Who else out there’s might look into this? Do you have a brick wall(s)?

Happy 4th of July!!
If you’re a genealogist or just interested in history and family, check out the new video created by Ancestry.com. The video shows the descendants of the signers and places them into the positions from the famous painting by John Trumbull.
The video is short but to the point. Very nicely done Ancestry.com !
