Tracing some one with no birth or death dates?
I asked this question a while ago but im still stuck so wondering if anyone knows anything else?
On my grandfathers birth certificate it says mothers name and fathers.
I searched and itsjustme has searched for his parents marriage but had no luck. so I only have their names with no birth place or date
I typed in his mothers name and 1 birth came up, which is great but if I buy it, it still doesnt prove if its his mother.
Asking family is no good as know even new his side of the family.
I know this question is a long shot but thought I would give it ago.
thank you
Tracing some one with no birth or death dates?
The only way you can make that link is to find a baptismal record and cross-reference the parents through sacramental registers. If there was an illegitimacy, the baptismal record should reveal that. If the parents were married, it should give you identifying information on them and you should be able to find a marriage record off of that. The church involved may even have a copy of the marriage register for the parents%26#039; marriage.

try and look for where they lived,chance is if they vanish it may be at time of death,then look at nearest burial plots to see if they are registered.local library recoeds may be more reliablw if u know the local ones
Reply:You need to know a place of birth, residence as a child or place of marriage to really have any hope.
Reply:If you have your grandfathers place of birth and his parents names you might be able to find a census listing with their names on it around the time your grandfather was born. Also look on line at the cemetary listing around where your granfather was born if you think they died there. Another good place to get help is http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ . You can post a message on several different board there.
Reply:I had the same problem tracking my husband%26#039;s greatgrandmother%26#039;s marriage. I later found out that they were never married, but she just took his name and had 8 children and were together until his death. So don%26#039;t discount that possibility.

Where would I have to go, to find out who lived at a residence between 1944 - 1949?
My great grandfather lived at 30 Lowther Street, Liverpool
Thats all I know, his name and address. Its on my grandfathers army records as the next of kin between the years 1944 - 1949
Where do I go to find out who else lived at the address??

You could always try and find the census closest to those years, or the one before and after to check if the same people lived there.
Or you could try the electoral role if it was going then try this website www.findmypast.com
Reply:You could check the records at the local library, but when I wanted to find out about my residence when it was built in the 1800%26#039;s I went to city hall/town hall and found out that my house was a small gardners cottage on a huge plantation where the servants lived, (it%26#039;s very small, but cozy and well decorated, gorgeous gardens!).
I recommend you check a city or town hall, or the british equivalent if that isn%26#039;t what they are called out there.
Reply:Hi
The national census records may help, I think they are online at the national archive website, should come up if you google it, might be worth checking the address still exists (192.com may help) alot of liverpool city centre has been re-developed in the 80%26#039;s and onwards.
Good luck anyhow
Take care

Reply:Hello Leanne, without a doubt you will need the Liverpool archives library, and in my opinion it%26#039;s best to book a study hour, to enable you to get the micro fiche ? reader. The local library hold the electoral registers only back as far as 2000, anything prior to that is stored at the archives.
Here in Nottingham the archivist charge 拢25:00 an hour to do the search for you, but they are brilliant and worth every penny. If you have any problems getting the information email me and I will see what I can do to get you the information, do you still have my email addy.
Hope this helps.
Reply:You might check the library to see if they have copies of old city directories...you should be able to look it up either by the last name or by the address.
Happy hunting!!!
Reply:Hi Leanne,
Its Just Me is right, and it is worth every penny. I did this in Oxford, and found an Uncle I never knew I had through this way of searching.
Reply:The electoral records will list all the other adult voters who lived at the address, you need to contact the local records department. As far as I know there is not a charge for looking at them if you can get to the record office in person, but I could be wrong, otherwise you have to pay a researcher to look them up for you.

Getting in touch w/ Irish heritage?
What can I do to get in touch with my Irish heritage? It%26#039;s the culture part of me that I%26#039;m most proud and connected to/of and I want to celebrate it somehow.

Reply:Wearing a piece of Irish jewelry* and listening to Irish music (my own favorite group is the Clancy Brothers) are both great ideas. The music will deepen your Irish feelings, and the jewelry will catch the attention of others with Irish roots, with whom you may form bonds to explore your heritage together. You can also explore Irish literature and history. Some of the greatest English-language writers of modern times have actually been Irish, among them Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, and James Joyce. In fact, most %26quot;English%26quot; playwrights of the past 300+ years have actually been Irish. A popular historcal novelist who%26#039;s very much into Irish (and other Celtic) subjects is Morgan Llywelyn, who despite her very Welsh name is at least as much Q-Celtic as P-Celtic. (If you don%26#039;t know those terms, you can begin your exploration by looking them up.)
And oh yes, you can also drink. The Irish lead the world in per capita consumption of one particular beverage. It%26#039;s spelled t-e-a.

Need Some Help?Please?
One thing you can do is look for copies of the wills of all three of these men. They will probably list children and wives and, by what they bequeath, give you some idea of their socio-economic status. You may find Antony mentioned in Rhett%26#039;s will, or vice versa. And if these men were of an age to have served in the Revolution, you may find some information on them through the DAR.

I thought I had found some Henry Duncans, but for your 5th great-grandfather, NONE would have worked. He would have been 8 generations back from you, which means--judging from another question you had mentioning you were 15 now--Henry would have had to be born at least 160 years ago (or at least 1848) averaging 20 years per generation. The ones I found were from like 1870-1905 or so.

How can people be so many nationalities/heritages?
my friend says she is over 9 nationalities, so do other people I know.
I%26#039;m only 2 things, and I%26#039;ve asked my mom countless of times if i%26#039;m ever anything more then two things. But like my Polish friend says she%26#039;s like Hungarian, Mongolian, French, German etc etc.
How could people be so many things? D: is there a way to find out? I keep asking my family and they say I%26#039;m only two things and that the fact that other people say there like 9 different things is just ridiculous, like idk.
How can people be so many nationalities/heritages?
My children are Norwegian, Swedish, English, Scots-Irish, German, Irish and Italian-by-way-Spain, and French-Canadian. Darn-- that is only 8. All because so many distant ancestors migrated from Europe, mostly in the late 19th century, but some earlier.
Others have an even more diverse ancestry.
But there is nothing wrong with only two heritages.
If you do your research at some future date, you may discover other countries of origin. I did when I did my research.
How can people be so many nationalities/heritages?
Well, not every person came from a country with only one heritage group. For instance, in the small town of Chicopee Massachusetts, you could have a Polish person marry an Irish person and their Irish/Polish child could marry a person whose parents were Russian and French Canadian. Then, that Polish/Irish/Russian/French Canadian could marry someone whose parents were Chinese and Amerindian. I just went through only three generation and you can already see a wide range of heritages.
Personally, I am only Irish/Scottish/English/French/Amerindian for at least 16 generations, while my wife is French/Indian ONLY.. for at least 15 generation.
Reply:I am always opposed to disrepect to parents.. but this time, mom is wrong.
Do the math.. you have 2 parents, 4 grandparents; 8 greats. If you are young enough to know all 8, this is not that far back.
The number DOUBLES every generation.. so, by the time you have identifed 64 ancestors... all can be from different places. Any hard core researcher gets to that level with little trouble, and beyond. You%26#039;ll run out of countries, before running out of ancestors. So.. yeah, you absolutely are part of all those ancestors and where they came from. Small amounts, maybe but still real.
Now.. I%26#039;ll give mom a break. If she says NATIONALITIES, that refers to the place where you are a citizen, which is in the present. You might have dual nationalities if you stretch it, but that isn%26#039;t hugely common.
Your friend easily has heritage from many places.. but her nationality if born in the US, would be American. One refers to ancestry, the other refers to political allegiance.
http://rwguide.rootsweb.ancestry.com/
Here is a guide for getting started, and many people here to help at any time along the way. I invite you and mom both to come hang out with us, we can be a fun bunch.
Reply:when your family has been here for 300 years+ thats alot of time to mix in. i have at least that many.
Reply:You can tell your friend that her nationality is the country where she was born and if she became a naturalized citizen in another country that became her nationality. Sometimes a person can have dual citizenship. Nationality and ethnic or racial heritage is not the same thing.
I have had ancestors in this country before the Mayflowers, but the person who receives naturalization in a federal courthouse this week, their nationality becomes just as American as mine. The only way they can have another nationality is for them to have dual citizenship.
Now, there is no pure nationalities or races.
You say you just have 2 things in your heritage. If you trace your ancestry as you go back, any percentages will change. For instance you might have had a great great grandfather from Germany but he might have had a great grandfather from Poland, France or Bohemia. There were lots of boundary changes in some of those countries.
In the colonial South, they had English, Scots, ScotchIrish(called Ulster Scots in Britain), French Huguenots and people from one of the German states. My maternal grandmother, born in 1873, whose ancestry was 100% American colonial was a mix of all those things. However, her nationality was nothing but American.
She married my maternal grandfather in 1899 and he was a mixture of Polish,Polish Jew, German, English and Native American.
I recently had a Mitochondrial DNA test done and found I am in Haplogroup K1 which is most Ashkenazi Jews and some people around the Alps. So apparently my maternal grandmother who was 100% American colonial had some Jewish ancestry. Her German ancestry came from Alsace.
My father was Irish, orange and green, but one marriage in Ireland in the 1700s brought in Spanish, Italian and Austrian.
The English themselves are a nation of mutts. They had Celts before the Romans invaded and brought soldiers from most of the known world. Then the Germanic Anglo, Saxons and Jutes invaded. After that the Danes came. Then the French speaking Normans who originally were Northmen but settled in an area of France now called Normandy and naturally they intermarried with the natives.
All of our ancestors were nomads at one time. A lot of the nations that exist today did not exist until the last melennium. Genealogy DNA suggests(I didn%26#039;t say prove) that everyone ancestry goes back to Africa, even Scandinavians. Our differences are due to mutations. Some types of people could not survive in certain areas.
Your Polish friend is probably absolutely right. At one time Poland ruled a good part of Eastern Europe. Then Poland was divided between Prussia, Russia and Austria. The Mongolian Tartars were always goine on rampages through that part of the world. You will see somewhat slant eyes among Poles and Polish Jews.
Reply:They can be that way by having lots of different nationalities among their 32 great great great grandparents.
You find it out by reserch. Research into your family tree is called genealogy. If your grandparents are alive, and they remember who their grandparents were, ask them, and you%26#039;ve got your great great grandparents. (Ask them maiden names, birth dates and death dates, too.)
If, for instance, your father%26#039;s side of the family stayed in Scotland, wearing skirts, studying engineering, eating haggis and playing the bagpipe to annoy the English, and marrying only other Scots, while your mother%26#039;s side of the family stayed in England, avoiding the opportunity to marry someone who was Irish, Huguenot, Hindu, Pakistani, Norwegian, Chinese, American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealander or South African, it is quite possible that you only have two kinds of nations in your blood, until you get back to Normans, Vikings, Angles, Saxons, Jutes and Roman mercenaries from Belgium.
Your parents won%26#039;t know, unless the genealogy bug has bit them. One of your great aunts may know. The bug bites elserly but handsome ladies with alarming frequency.
The resolved questions here are full of tips and links for budding genealogists. Ignore the questions about Taylor Swift, family crests and surname origins.
Reply:You can%26#039;t have 9 %26quot;nationalities%26quot;, since a nationality depends on where you were born, or been granted citizenship. Some people have dual nationality (for example English and Canadian), but most have only one. I think your friend means her heritage, or cultural background.
Cultural backgrounds depend where your family are from, and what culturees they have brought into your life. Your mother may genuinely not know about your history. And even if SHE did, she might not know about your father%26#039;s history, and that%26#039;s 50% of your makeup.
The only way you can find out is to trace your family%26#039;s history. And perhaps an aunt or uncle, or even a grandparent knows more. They may have done the research already, so all the answers may be there for the taking. I was researching my tree for a year before my grandmother admitted that my grandfather had already done loads of it!
People are so many different cultures because their ancestors travelled and settled in different places, having children with local people, and therefore having multi-racial children.
I am made up of 6 different cultures (English, Belgian, Swiss, Dutch, German and French), and my partner is made up of 2 cultures (Spanish and Gibraltarian), which means when we have children, our kids will have 8 cultural backgrounds.
But it%26#039;s easier to be multi-racial in Europe, since a lot of the country boundaries moved over the centuries, so if families moved to the border, and then the border changed, they became different nationalities, and had children with others of that nationality that were perhaps from more inland areas of the country.
Also, you need to remember that there are so many cultures within Europe, whereas other places (like the States of Russia or China) only have the one culture in a few thousand miles.
Reply:Very simple: for instance, my mother%26#039;s father was British (1), her mother%26#039;s mother was Scottish (2), all three were American (3). My father%26#039;s father was Italian (4), my father%26#039;s mother was Italian but her grandmother was German (5). There in just one person we have 5 so I can easily see how 9 would happen just as easily.
My children now have my background (5) plus my husband%26#039;s background (Irish (6), German (7)). See how quickly it can add up?
I%26#039;m only 2 things, and I%26#039;ve asked my mom countless of times if i%26#039;m ever anything more then two things. But like my Polish friend says she%26#039;s like Hungarian, Mongolian, French, German etc etc.
How could people be so many things? D: is there a way to find out? I keep asking my family and they say I%26#039;m only two things and that the fact that other people say there like 9 different things is just ridiculous, like idk.
How can people be so many nationalities/heritages?
My children are Norwegian, Swedish, English, Scots-Irish, German, Irish and Italian-by-way-Spain, and French-Canadian. Darn-- that is only 8. All because so many distant ancestors migrated from Europe, mostly in the late 19th century, but some earlier.
Others have an even more diverse ancestry.
But there is nothing wrong with only two heritages.
If you do your research at some future date, you may discover other countries of origin. I did when I did my research.
How can people be so many nationalities/heritages?
Well, not every person came from a country with only one heritage group. For instance, in the small town of Chicopee Massachusetts, you could have a Polish person marry an Irish person and their Irish/Polish child could marry a person whose parents were Russian and French Canadian. Then, that Polish/Irish/Russian/French Canadian could marry someone whose parents were Chinese and Amerindian. I just went through only three generation and you can already see a wide range of heritages.
Personally, I am only Irish/Scottish/English/French/Amerindian for at least 16 generations, while my wife is French/Indian ONLY.. for at least 15 generation.
Reply:I am always opposed to disrepect to parents.. but this time, mom is wrong.
Do the math.. you have 2 parents, 4 grandparents; 8 greats. If you are young enough to know all 8, this is not that far back.
The number DOUBLES every generation.. so, by the time you have identifed 64 ancestors... all can be from different places. Any hard core researcher gets to that level with little trouble, and beyond. You%26#039;ll run out of countries, before running out of ancestors. So.. yeah, you absolutely are part of all those ancestors and where they came from. Small amounts, maybe but still real.
Now.. I%26#039;ll give mom a break. If she says NATIONALITIES, that refers to the place where you are a citizen, which is in the present. You might have dual nationalities if you stretch it, but that isn%26#039;t hugely common.
Your friend easily has heritage from many places.. but her nationality if born in the US, would be American. One refers to ancestry, the other refers to political allegiance.

Reply:when your family has been here for 300 years+ thats alot of time to mix in. i have at least that many.
Reply:You can tell your friend that her nationality is the country where she was born and if she became a naturalized citizen in another country that became her nationality. Sometimes a person can have dual citizenship. Nationality and ethnic or racial heritage is not the same thing.
I have had ancestors in this country before the Mayflowers, but the person who receives naturalization in a federal courthouse this week, their nationality becomes just as American as mine. The only way they can have another nationality is for them to have dual citizenship.
Now, there is no pure nationalities or races.
You say you just have 2 things in your heritage. If you trace your ancestry as you go back, any percentages will change. For instance you might have had a great great grandfather from Germany but he might have had a great grandfather from Poland, France or Bohemia. There were lots of boundary changes in some of those countries.
In the colonial South, they had English, Scots, ScotchIrish(called Ulster Scots in Britain), French Huguenots and people from one of the German states. My maternal grandmother, born in 1873, whose ancestry was 100% American colonial was a mix of all those things. However, her nationality was nothing but American.
She married my maternal grandfather in 1899 and he was a mixture of Polish,Polish Jew, German, English and Native American.

Is it plausible that in the later years of the Civil War (1864-5)?
Deceased officers would have been transported in coffins along with their regiments in passenger trains?
Any good sources about how deceased soldiers were transported? Especially in the later years of the War?
Is it plausible that in the later years of the Civil War (1864-5)?
Unless they were extremely important people, most officers were buried with their troops near the battleground. Your best resource would be the National Parks Service. They maintain the battlefield graveyards from that era and have access to the site of graves for most of the soldiers killed in action.
Is it plausible that in the later years of the Civil War (1864-5)?
Without embalming, I think it would be very very unlikely that someone who died in battle, would be sent back home. Is it possible that the person was wounded, went home then died?
On the assumption that your person is a Texas vet, one logical thing is to go to the county where the family lived, and see if the records survive for that era. If he had children, you MIGHT find guardianship records. Mom remarrying on a certain date would also narrow it down.
Unless your nick name is wishful thinking as to your place.. you are in an excellent position to go to Hillsboro. One of the largest Confederate Research libraries is right there. His record (often including rosters and such) can be great.
Reply:Christians do NOT believe in embalming; without embalming, the body starts to decay immediately; in summer heat, the stench would be overwhelming within 24 hours. Look at a map of Civil War battlefields, and you will see a map of Civil War graveyards. Get a good book on the Civil War and you will see that they stacked bodies like cordwood for mass burials. Often they did not know who was buried where, or if they were %26quot;enemy%26quot; or %26quot;friendly%26quot;.
Reply:All three of the above answers are accurate, as far as they go.
Actually, there was a thriving embalming business that developed during the Civil War. Many officers bodies were embalmed on speculation. That is, the embalmers would locate the bodies of officers whose faces were still in good shape, embalmer the body and then telegram the family and ask to be reimbursed for their work. The body would be shipped after payment arrived. Gruesome, but true.
Because of the time delay, it is unlikely that the bodies would have been shipped on the same train as the troops they had served with.
Reply:I%26#039;ve read first-hand accounts of officers comlaining to generals of undertakers setting up near camps and advrtising, with placards and hand-bills, that pre-arrangements could be made. Lots of soldiers were buried on battle grounds. Lots were sent home, embalmed. If they went by train they would be in the baggage car, normally, and they%26#039;d normally go a different direction than their regiment.
It is illegal to bury someone without embalming them in California, these days. I don%26#039;t know how the Christians deal with that.
Reply:The American Civil War revolutionized embalming and funeral practices. Field embalmers for both Confederate and Union Armies prepared corpses using formaldehyde on the battlefield and then placed them in wooden coffins to be either buried locally or shipped to grieving families. Rail transport also allowed for the shipment of both mortuary supplies and bodies.
I%26#039;ve only been able to find information on the burial of two officers:
1) Confederate General Albert Sydney Johnston was killed at Shiloh, in Tennessee, in 1862. He was first buried in New Orleans; and then in 1866, the Texas Legislature passed a bill to have his body re interred in the State Cemetery in Austin, which it was in 1867.
2) Confederate Lieutenant General Thomas J. %26quot;Stonewall%26quot; Jackson was killed at Chancellorsville, Virginia, in 1863. His body (minus an arm that was amputated on the battle field) was first moved to the Governor%26#039;s Mansion in Richmond for public viewing, but eventually in 1891 it was transported to the Stonewall Jackson Memorial Cemetery.
I don%26#039;t know if the practice of allowing some bodies to be shipped home for burial changed in the waning years of the War.
BTW, all major branches of Christianity, including Roman Catholics, allow embalming. Until quite recently, however, Roman Catholic rites didn%26#039;t permit cremation. It%26#039;s Jews and Muslims who don%26#039;t embalm.

If Taylor Swift is twice as popular as Melanie Brown, figure $40,000; if she is half as popular, $10,000.

Found money?
Contact the court house in the area they lived in. There should%26#039;ve been a publication of some sort after their death as to what they did with the property.
Found money?
USA Answer:
Call the probate court in the county they were living in when they died. You%26#039;ll need their names and death dates. Wills are a matter of public record, but there may be a fee for a copy.
Reply:If you were legally adopted you no longer belong to the other family. Unless the deceased mentioned you in the will by name, you would no longer be eligible to inherit.
If you know the name of the person, you can check the social security death index and find the last place of residence of the deceased. That might help you locate the court of probate.
Reply:Another way to check, would be to do an on-line %26quot;Unclaimed Property Inquiry%26quot; from the Dept. of Treasury. All unclaimed monies are transferred to the government for holding. There is a time-limit though! Good Luck. I know this because not only did I find money once, but twice for two different family members!

In the USA, most web-based phone directories have a reverse lookup features, which allows you to find out a name from a number. Most cell phones are not listed, so if that%26#039;s the kind of phone number you have, you are stuck.

the whole point of genealogy is to not guess what something %26#039;might%26#039; be. Any name CAN come from more than one location.. and nationality is not the same as ethnicity at all. For example.. a person named Lee might be White, Black or Chinese.
If the name comes from Spain (and not saying it does), this does NOT prove that the person is Spanish, or anything else.

Blood type question regarding siblings....?
Ok, my husband is a type o+, the man we believe to be his father is also a 0+, as his that mans other biological son. My husband (the o+) has an older brother who is a B+ blood type, they have the same mother(deceased-blood type unknown). My question is, does it take 2 os to make an o? an ao mom can make an o son with one man who is also an o and a b son with another man right? glory i am confused! can only an o and an o make another o? thanks!
Blood type question regarding siblings....?
Ok, in blood types O is recessive, meaning it takes both parents to make an O baby.
A and B are co-dominant, so they are expressed like this:
A+B=AB
A+O=A
A+A=A
B+O=B
B+B=B
O+O=O
I hope that helps.
Yes a mom who is AO(blood type A) can have children who are both O and AB depending on the father%26#039;s blood type.
Blood type question regarding siblings....?
O Child can have A%26amp;A, or A%26amp;O, or B%26amp;B, or B%26amp;O, or O%26amp;O parents. See bloodbook.com for more details.
Reply:It doesn%26#039;t always take a type O and a type O to make another type O. An O+ parent can end up with real, biological sons that are O+ and B+, even if the other parent is the same both times.
There are calculators on the internet that can help you figure out what possible combinations work out based on what blood types you know. Here%26#039;s an example: http://www.biology.arizona.edu/Human_Bio...
Here%26#039;s how it works, genetically:
Every person has two copies of the ABO gene (and two copies of the Rhesus, or +/-, gene). A and B are codominant over O, so AO and AA make type A, and BO and BB make type B. AB makes AB, and OO makes O.
Each parent gives one of their copies to the child. This means that an OO father (type O blood) and a BO mother (type B blood) could make type B or type O children. The father will always give an O gene, but the mother has a 50/50 chance of given a B gene or an O gene.
You can even make a type O child when neither parent is type O! A type A parent with AO genes and a type B parent with BO genes could end up with both parents giving an O gene, and making an O child.
The Rhesus factor works the same way. Everyone have two copies, and the + is dominant over the -. This means that + + and + -, genetically, are both type +. - - is the only type -. Each parent gives one copy, and it%26#039;s passed down separately from the ABO gene.
By the way, based on the information you%26#039;ve given, your husband%26#039;s mother%26#039;s blood type is B+ or B-. She has to have a B to give to the other son, since the father can only give an O. She has to have an O to give to your husband, so she much be BO, which is blood type B. We don%26#039;t know the +/- part, because the father could have given the +, and then it doesn%26#039;t matter if the mother gives + or -, the child still ends up +.
Reply:Never mind the blood type, just be glad you have some blood. Get a DNA test done.

How are they related?
Okay, I%26#039;ll explain this as best I can.
Let%26#039;s say, D and B are brothers. D has a son, R, who has a daughter, K. B only has one son, A.
So, how are K and R related to A? I know A and R are cousins, and I would think K would be considered A%26#039;s cousin as well, but I would like some confirmation.
How are they related?
Ok R and A are cousins (first cousins). But K and A are considered second cousins.
How are they related?
R %26amp; A are first cousins. K %26amp; A are first cousins once removed. If A had a child, her or she would be second cousin to K.
See http://www.genealogy.com/16_cousn.html for a better explanation.
Reply:R and A are first cousins.
K and A are first cousins once removed.
When A has a child, that child and K will be 2nd cousins.

In need of some Help.?
Please help. I need information on a Carrie Woods born in 1864 or 1865 (that area) on March 1. She was born in Ohio. Her father was from NYS. I know she married a man named James/Oscar Harris who was born in 1852. I%26#039;m primarily looking for information pre-1900, such as blood family members. Any help at all would be much appreciated.

What does it all mean? Based on the information from the censuses, I would say that James Oscar Harris and Carrie Woods were married in Canada abount 1880 and had their first child in Canada about 1881. Do you know which part of Canada he was from? That would be the best place to center your search. If Carrie was in fact 16 when she married, you will likely find her parents in the vicinity of their marriage. ALSO, they had a child born in Ohio according to the 1900 census. If you can find out where in Ohio he was born, then you might nail down the are of Ohio where Carrie was born. This isn%26#039;t guaranteed, but it would be an educated guess. If James was a boat builder, I would likely check the counties and cities that line Lake Erie. You will noice that they lived in Buffalo, New York which falls on Lake Erie. A couple of Ohio cities that come to mind are Toledo and Cleveland as possible places to look. Some canadian spots on lake Erie are Port Stanley or Port Erie. Do you have any canadian connections to these towns? Any extra information you could provide may help us help you.
EDIT: I found a family tree online that has Carrie Woods listed as Carrie Woods DUSENBURG . It also lists James Oscars parents as James Oscar Harris and Mary E Bush. If this is the case, then this must be Oscars family in the 1881 Canadian census

This tree also says that James Oscar was married two other times, one was to a Priscilla Ann Moss and the other to Mary E Moss. Apparently, Bertha was the child of Priscilla and Harry and Elmer were children of Mary Moss.. IF this information is correct, then that means that Carrie and James Oscar would have had to have married around 1887 and if I were a betting girl, that would have meant that they would have been likely married in Ohio since THEIR first child was born in Ohio... Also, I would look for a marriage for a Carrie Woods, marrying a Dusenburg. It is funny how this research meshes together to paint a picture, isn%26#039;t it?

Should I register my son as a Northern Cheyenne Native American?
My son is 8 and I just ran into his biological aunt the other day, he has never met his biological family, I always knew that he was Native American, his real dad%26#039;s whole family is Native American, but the other day I finally found out what tribe he is from. How do I go about getting him registered, does this tribe still offer help with college or anything else?
Should I register my son as a Northern Cheyenne Native American?
i think you shoud register him as a Native American. Im not sure how you can but i think maybe you could call up a line in your states main office and request to have him registered. im pretty sure his tribe will offer all the help with college and things like that because the state could offer him special scholorships because of his ethnicity. And when you bring this about the state you have to bring proof and maybe some paper work along to prove your son as an authentic Native. this might be a long process. Good Luck :)
Should I register my son as a Northern Cheyenne Native American?
Yes, definately! I wish my family would%26#039;ve aknowledged our heritage more. I would start by looking up the website for the Northern Cheyenne Nation and contact someone with the tribe to get more info. Maybe your son%26#039;s aunt can help? Good luck! I think your son should learn as much about his proud heritage as he can:)
Reply:You will need to check with the tribal office to see if they will allow you to register him. Is your son adopted or born out of wedlock. That will make a difference to the tribal office.
Reply:If you manage to get him enrolled in the Nation, are you going to let him have contact with his people? Will you let him learn about the rich culture of his ancestors? Or will you continue to raise him in the %26quot;white%26quot; world, apart from his ancestors culture?
If you are only looking to get possible monetary benefits then NO you shouldn%26#039;t pursue getting him enrolled. If you truly want him to know about his fathers culture and people then YES go ahead and get him enrolled.
One other question is whether his father will acknowledge him and his family accept him as one of their own.....
Reply:If you are looking to allow him to become connected to his genetic background and culture, and even have contact with members of his biological family that could, if they wished to be a part, show him the way...he must be being raised by very loving parents.
Should I register my son as a Northern Cheyenne Native American?
i think you shoud register him as a Native American. Im not sure how you can but i think maybe you could call up a line in your states main office and request to have him registered. im pretty sure his tribe will offer all the help with college and things like that because the state could offer him special scholorships because of his ethnicity. And when you bring this about the state you have to bring proof and maybe some paper work along to prove your son as an authentic Native. this might be a long process. Good Luck :)

How can i change my daughter lastname? actually wer not married..what can i do?
thats easy done and i dont need to know who what where
You can easily change your child%26#039;s name by Deed Poll providing those with parental responsibility consent to the name change. If your child is 16 years of age or over, they must apply for their own Deed Poll for which parental consent is not required

Reply:Why would you be married to your daughter?
Just kidding, Your question is unclear on so many levels. Are you trying to change her name back to your last name or are you trying to give her the name of her father? Either way, you might meet with some resistance. It may require you to go to court and have a paternity test to prove her relationship to the father. OR...
If you are already receiving child support, the court may REQUIRE her to carry her father%26#039;s last name. If the father relinquishes his rights, then you can change her name to whatever you want.
Reply:In my county in California you petition the court. That costs $320. Then you run a legal notice in the newspaper for 4 weeks. That cost varies with the newspaper, but it is in addition to the $320.
If no one objects in those 4 weeks, the court grants your petition. You get a notarized copy and show it to her bank, doctor, health plan, school, etc. Your daughter will have to show a notarized copy of the court order every time she applies for a passport, applies to college, applies for a job with a security clearance, etc. etc.
The costs may vary from county to county. I suspect other states have a similar but not identical procedure.
If you are not in the USA, say so and someone from the UK or Canada can help.
If you are not married to the man you and your daughter are living with, and you change her name to his, be prepared to go through the whole process again 2 - 3 years down the road, when he dumps you for someone younger, prettier or with a bigger bra size. He can%26#039;t love you very much or he%26#039;d marry you. You are just handy. I don%26#039;t know what you can do about that, other than moving out and looking for someone willing to tie the knot.

I want to know from which city in Spain the surname "P茅rez" originates from.?
I%26#039;ve done some of my own research and I know that the surname %26quot;P茅rez%26quot; does originate from Spain but I can not find from which city exactly in Spain it originates from.
I want to know from which city in Spain the surname %26quot;P茅rez%26quot; originates from.?
I found two explanations for you in relation to the name Perez.
Surname: Perez
Of all the surnames which derive from the saints and disciples of the Christian church, %26#039;Petros%26#039; meaning %26#039;The rock%26#039; has provided the world with the greatest number of both given names and the later medieval surnames. In their different spellings ranging from Peter, Pieter, and Pierre, to patronymics Peterson, Peters, Peres, Perez, Peers, and even the Armenian Bedrosian, to diminutives such as Poschel, Piotrek, Petrenko, and Pietrusska, there are estimated to be over seven hundred spellings. At least one form appears as a popular surname in every European country. The original name was Greek, and Christ chose Peter to be %26#039;the rock%26#039; on which the church was to be founded. The name became very popular in Europe following the twelve %26#039;crusades%26#039; of the early medieval period, when various kings sought to free the Holy Land. Thereafter the name spread to every country, replacing the original %26#039;local%26#039; names. Early examples of the surname recording taken from authentic registers in both Europe and the Americas include Luke Petre of London, England, in 1282, William Petres of Somerset, England, in 1327, Andres Guillen Perez, at Aguaron, Zaragoza, Spain, on December 7th 1565, Martina Josepha Perez, of Santa Catarina, Mexico, on December 23rd 1775, and Antonio Diego Peres, who married Maria Ysabel Yorba, at San Gabriel, Los Angeles, on January 4th 1864. The blazon of the coat of arms is very distinctive. It has a red field charged with a chross flory between four fleur de lis, all gold. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Ralph Peter, which was dated 1195, in the pipe rolls of the county of Hertford, during the reign of King Richard 1st of England, known as %26#039;Lion-heart%26#039;, 1189 - 1199. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to %26quot;develop%26quot; often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Perez Name Meaning and History
Spanish (P茅rez) and Jewish (Sephardic): patronymic from the personal name Pedro, Spanish equivalent of Peter.
Jewish: variant of Peretz.
I don%26#039;t think it%26#039;s as informative as the first web site.
Hope this helps.
I want to know from which city in Spain the surname %26quot;P茅rez%26quot; originates from.?
Well, that would be impossible to tell. Perez is a patronymic surname. A patronymic is a surname based on the name of one%26#039;s father. In old Spanish, -ez meant %26quot;son of%26quot;. That%26#039;s how you see Martinez as %26quot;son of Martin%26quot;, Gonzalez as %26quot;son of Gonzalo%26quot;, Fernandez as %26quot;son of Fernando%26quot;, etc. That%26#039;s why surnames that end with -ez are quite common in Spanish.
Well, back to your surname, Peter, like the disciple of Christ is %26quot;Pedro%26quot; in Spanish. In ancient Spanish, it was actually %26quot;Pero%26quot;. Then, Perez means %26quot;son of Pero%26quot; or %26quot;son of Pedro%26quot;. This is how I see this surname originated. At one time in the past, a Spanish guy named Pedro had a son, let%26#039;s call him Juan, for example. People didn%26#039;t need surnames because most of them lived in small villages, so everyone knew that this Juan was Pedro%26#039;s son. But what if another man named Juan came to this village, how could the people differentiate between the new Juan and the Juan they all knew? They started calling the first guy Juan %26quot;son of Pedro%26quot;, or Juan Perez. Then this Juan Perez passed the surname to his children and his grandchildren, and so on.

Can you tell me anything about my future from my name?Jasmine Sky Carter scorpio?
Yes, I can! I predict that you are going to or are having trouble explaining your name to others and you will have to spell your name over and over!
Can you tell me anything about my future from my name?Jasmine Sky Carter scorpio?
Depending on your age, either you%26#039;ll follow trends and try to keep up with the Joneses, or else you%26#039;ll be part of the educated elite. One theory made popular by Freakonomic books and web sites is that lower-income parents are slightly behind the curve on following naming trends set by upper-income parents.
To remedy this, they suggest naming children either traditional names (like George, John, Paul, Richard, Elizabeth, Catherine, and Mary) or else picking a name that is slightly below the most popular names.

The Song of the Red Man (1868) Henry C. Wok
When the palefaces came in their white-winged canoes,
Long ago, from the sun-rising sea,
When they asked for a lodge, and we did not refuse,
Happy then was the red man, and free.
He could then choose a spot for his wigwam to stand.
Where the forest was crowded with game;
For the blue-rolling lake and the ever-smiling land
Were his own till the palefaces came,
For the broad grassy plains and the forests deep and grand
Were his own till the palefaces came.
They came! they came!
Like the fierce prairie flame,
Sweeping on to the sun-setting shore:
Gazing now on its waves,
But a handful of braves,
We shall join in the chase nevermore;
Till we camp on the plains
Where the Great Spirit reigns,
We shall join in the chase nevermore.
When the oaks, pines, and cedars were felled to
the ground,
‘Twas a sight that with sorrow we saw;
For the game fled affrighted, and no food was found
For the old chief, the papoose and squaw.
Driven westward we came, but the paleface was here,
With his sharp axe and death-flashing gun;
And his great Iron Horse now is rumbling in the rear
O my brave men! your journey is done.
Like the beaver and elk, like the buffalo and deer,
O my brave men! your journey is done.
They came! they came! etc.
Uncle Sam’s Farm (1850) (E. P. Christy and Jesse Hutchinson)
Of all the mighty nations
In the East or in the West,
Oh, this glorious Yankee nation
Is the greatest and the best.
We have room for all creation,
And our banner is unfurled,
Here’s a general invitation
To the people of the world.
Then come along, come along.
Make no delay;
Come from every nation,
Come from every way.
Our lands, they are broad enough,
Don’t be alarmed.
For Uncle Sam is rich enough
To give us all a farm.
Our fathers gave us Liberty,
But little did they dream
The grand results that pour along
This mighty age of Steam:
For our mountains, lakes, and rivers
Are all a blaze of fire,
And we send our news by lightning
On the telegraphic wires.
Then come along, Etc.
Yes! We’re bound to beat the nations,
For our motto’s “Go ahead,”
And we’ll tell the foreign paupers
That our people are well fed;
For the nations must remember
That Uncle Sam is not a fool,
For the people do the voting,
And the children go to school.
Then come along, Etc.
We’ve a glorious Declaration
To protect us in our rights,
An instrument of Freedom,
For the blacks as well as whites.
And the day is swiftly coming
When liberty’s bright sun
Shall shine with noonday splendor
In the land of Washington.
O ye tiller of the soil,
In the East and in the West,
Come join the Greenback banner,
“Tis the wisest and the best;
It floats from the St. Lawrence
And down to the Rio Grande,
Inviting you to organize
In one great union band
No Irish Need Apply (1863) O’Reilly
I’m a simple Irish girl,
And I’m looking for a place;
I’ve felt the grip of Poverty, But sure that’s no disgrace;
‘Twill be long before I get one,
Though indeed it’s hard I try,
For I read in each advertisement,
Alas! for my poor country,
Which I never will deny,
How they insult us when they write,
“No Irish need apply.”
Then they can’t deny us genius,
With ”Sheridan” - “Tom Moore,” -
The late lamented “Catherine Hayes,”
And Sam Lover to the Fore, -
Although they may laugh at our “Bulls,”
They cannot but admit,
That Pat is always sensible,
and has a ready wit, -
And if they ask for Beauty,
What can beat their nice black Eye?
Then is it not a shame to write,
“No Irish need apply”?
Ah! but now I’m in the land
Of the “Glorious” and “Free,”
And proud I am to own it,
A country dear to me;
I can see by your kind faces,
That you will not deny
A place in your hearts for Kathleen,
And All Irish may apply.
Then long may the Union flourish,
And ever may it be
A pattern to the world,
And the “Home of Liberty”!

What is caste of the people whose surname is grover?
ask your parents
What is caste of the people whose surname is grover?
Castes don%26#039;t mean anything in western countries. Grover is just a name.
Reply:%26quot;One who carves or engraves%26quot; all surnames have meanings, traditionally related to occupation.
Fletcher%26#039;s made arrows.
Reply:According to Ancestry.com, the surname of Grover can be a Hindu and Sikh name of unknown origin.
Then again, it could be from the German occupational name for a grave digger, an Americanization of the German and Swiss surname of Gruber, or else an English topographical name for someone who lived in a grove of trees. Of course, in Western society, it doesn%26#039;t necessarily follow that an individual%26#039;s surname fits the occupation of his or her ancestors.
Reply:I found this for you, I think its very informative.
Surname: Grover
This surname recorded in the spellings of Grove, Groves, and Grover, is of Anglo-Saxon pre 9th century origins. Deriving from the Olde German word %26#039;graf%26#039;, the surname is topographical or occupational for a dweller or worker by a grove or wood. Topographical surnames of this type, were among the earliest created, since both natural and man-made features in the landscape provided easily recognisable distinguishing names in the small communities of the Middle Ages. The surname is 12th Century and early recordings include Osbert de la Grava in the 1197 rolls called the %26#039;Feet of Fines%26#039;, for the county of Buckinghamshire, John de la Grove in the Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire in 1275, and William Gover, in the 1332 Subsidy Rolls for the county of Sussex in 1332. The first church registers introduced in the 16th century, include such recordings as the christenings of Elizabeth, daughter of John Groves, on September 27th 1590, at St. Dunstans in the East, Stepney, and of Henry, son of Henry and Mary Groves, on September 10th 1682 at St. Giles%26#039; Cripplegate, London. Elizabeth Groves was one of the first settlers in the New World of the American Colonies first formed in 1607. She sailed from London aboard the ship %26quot;Truelove%26quot;, for the %26quot;Somer-Islands%26quot;, (Bermuda) in June 1635. Neal Groves, aged 22 yrs, was fleeing the Irish Potato Famine of 1846 - 1848 when he sailed for New York on June 6th 1846 on the ship Kestrel. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of John de la Grove, which was dated 1275, in the %26quot;Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire%26quot;, during the reign of King Edward 1, known as %26quot;The Hammer of the Scots%26quot;, 1272 - 1307. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to %26quot;develop%26quot; often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

What is caste of the people whose surname is grover?
Castes don%26#039;t mean anything in western countries. Grover is just a name.
Reply:%26quot;One who carves or engraves%26quot; all surnames have meanings, traditionally related to occupation.
Fletcher%26#039;s made arrows.
Reply:According to Ancestry.com, the surname of Grover can be a Hindu and Sikh name of unknown origin.
Then again, it could be from the German occupational name for a grave digger, an Americanization of the German and Swiss surname of Gruber, or else an English topographical name for someone who lived in a grove of trees. Of course, in Western society, it doesn%26#039;t necessarily follow that an individual%26#039;s surname fits the occupation of his or her ancestors.

Family heritage?

Family heritage?
i dont understand your question
Family heritage?
Another one messed up !!!!
Reply:If you want to discover your family%26#039;s heritage, start with primary sources: birth certificates, marriage licenses, wills, deeds, and the family bible (if there is one). Talk to your older relatives and ask them the names and birth, death, and marriage dates of their parents, grandparents, brothers, and sisters.
At this point, you can look at census records to double-check the data you already have as well as possibly add additional ancestors to your family tree. Census records aren%26#039;t always correct, but they are helpful tools particularly once you get past living memories. The last US Census available to the public is the 1930 census; the last census from England and Wales available to the public is from 1891. American and British researchers can find their respective census records at their local public or university library.
Of course, this information is also available on line at Ancestry.com. Most libraries have a subscription to Ancestry.com that they allow their patrons to use free-of-charge.
Other genealogical search engines that are free to the public include, but are not limited to, the following:

United Kingdom genealogical material is also available free-of-charge on line:

http://www.ancestorhunt.com/united_kingd...
Americans who have died since 1936 should also have their birth and death dates available through the Social Security web site:
http://www.merlindata.com/prodinfo/SSADe...
Finding your family%26#039;s roots is not an instantaneous process, nor is it an exact science, since you may have to make a lot of educated guesses along the way. However, it%26#039;s an excellent way to make history come alive.

Reply:Your official birth name is the one recorded on the government%26#039;s central register, of which the certificate you have is only a copy. Changes to the name recorded at birth can happen for a variety of reasons, but usually require the re-issuing of a proper certificate.
Simply crossing a name out and writing in another does not make a legal change, and adulterating the certificate and trying to pass it off as a true record of your name in order to decieve (e.g. for a passport application) could be a legal offence also.
To find out what name has actually been officially recorded for you, you should request a new certificate showing the current entry from your local registry office. If Jor-el is your %26#039;real%26#039; name and you wish to ensure the name change to Upfuttock is legal, there are some circumstances in which a mistake made at the time of registration can be rectified, otherwise you may have to change your name by deed poll. (this applies to the UK, but other countries have similar arrangements for registering births).

What my name means?
My last name is Ambrose, so I%26#039;m a little confused because a lot of last name websites I visit gives out different origins. Some say that it%26#039;s English, while others says Its Russian or Greek.
So I was wondering what my surname%26#039;s origin really is and what it means.
If it helps, my parentage from my father%26#039;s side is Greek-Russian.

Reply:A last name can come from many different places. The way to know what your name means is to figure out what race you are or what your background is and then research it in that race%26#039;s meaning of the word. And if you are from mutable races or backgrounds just try to search within them for the word or meaning. And if their are mutable meanings than you may have to use them all.

They drank nectar. Some words are cross cultural though, for

While the Russians came up with, depending on spelling preference, Czar, Csar, Tsar or Tzar!

How can I find someone's actual DOB?
I have got a month of entry in the birth records, and it also shows mother%26#039;s maiden name, but I need a proper DOB, and preferably an up to date address but I don%26#039;t think I can get that. Can anyone help? I can%26#039;t afford to join up to any sites!!
How can I find someone%26#039;s actual DOB?
Try: http://www.familysearch.org/ but if the record is not old enough there%26#039;s a chance it isn%26#039;t there.
How can I find someone%26#039;s actual DOB?
Try Free BMD
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
I%26#039;ve used this on a few times but as per the previous answer, if it%26#039;s not very old it won%26#039;t be on there.
Reply:If the person is alive, you shouldn%26#039;t be able to find his/her DOB on a genealogy site. We%26#039;re supposed to hide those for privacy. Death records, (in the USA, the SSDI is good) may have the exact DOB for dead people.
Again in the USA, www.zabasearch.com seems to be the most recommended site for finding addresses of living people.
Reply:The only way to find the actual date of birth is by asking the person or by buying the birth certificate from the register office where the birth was registered. You will need to give a reason as to why you want the certificate, there%26#039;s a space on the application form and you have to give your relationship to the person. As for the address I doubt very much that you will get that from anywhere on the net, it%26#039;s one of those things that is covered by the *Data Protection Act* here in the UK. Why don%26#039;t you just ask the person for the information.
Reply:Records online are normally geared for researching ancestors (usually considered to be dead). Living persons should not be open to such info being accessible to anyone, since it is so open to misuse by criminals. Consider how you might feel, if anyone got your dob/ mom%26#039;s maiden name and opened up a credit account, using your name.
Not saying that it isn%26#039;t out there, and not saying you don%26#039;t have a valid reason for looking. Unfortunately, many people believe that ALL INFORMATION is out there on the internet somewhere, and should be open to anyone.
You might find info if you know the parents/ other family and can find an obit or death notice.
Reply:You might be able to hire a %26quot;skip tracer%26quot; to locate the person, but that would be expensive. They are basically private detectives who specialize in locating people who are alive.
The skip tracer should inform you of any legal requirments or limitations.

How can I find someone%26#039;s actual DOB?

I%26#039;ve used this on a few times but as per the previous answer, if it%26#039;s not very old it won%26#039;t be on there.
Reply:If the person is alive, you shouldn%26#039;t be able to find his/her DOB on a genealogy site. We%26#039;re supposed to hide those for privacy. Death records, (in the USA, the SSDI is good) may have the exact DOB for dead people.
Again in the USA, www.zabasearch.com seems to be the most recommended site for finding addresses of living people.
Reply:The only way to find the actual date of birth is by asking the person or by buying the birth certificate from the register office where the birth was registered. You will need to give a reason as to why you want the certificate, there%26#039;s a space on the application form and you have to give your relationship to the person. As for the address I doubt very much that you will get that from anywhere on the net, it%26#039;s one of those things that is covered by the *Data Protection Act* here in the UK. Why don%26#039;t you just ask the person for the information.
Reply:Records online are normally geared for researching ancestors (usually considered to be dead). Living persons should not be open to such info being accessible to anyone, since it is so open to misuse by criminals. Consider how you might feel, if anyone got your dob/ mom%26#039;s maiden name and opened up a credit account, using your name.
Not saying that it isn%26#039;t out there, and not saying you don%26#039;t have a valid reason for looking. Unfortunately, many people believe that ALL INFORMATION is out there on the internet somewhere, and should be open to anyone.
You might find info if you know the parents/ other family and can find an obit or death notice.
Reply:You might be able to hire a %26quot;skip tracer%26quot; to locate the person, but that would be expensive. They are basically private detectives who specialize in locating people who are alive.
The skip tracer should inform you of any legal requirments or limitations.
MERGE function problem with Ancestry.com and Family Tree Maker?
I started having problems with my merge function in the search results details, whereby it is disabled and will not merge information into a person in my tree. Ancestry said that it was probably because of the critical operational patch that was downloaded at the end of May...Does anyone else have this problem? And how did you fix it? Ancestry suggested that I delete my program and reinstall it to see if that would help, and/or they told me to disable my Norton program...I don%26#039;t really know which way to go on this one, as they don%26#039;t either! Any HELP???
Is "Will" a name of a person?
Yes, short for William
Is %26quot;Will%26quot; a name of a person?
Will Rogers
Is %26quot;Will%26quot; a name of a person?
Can also be short for Wibur, Wilfred, Wilmer, Willard, Wilhelm.
Reply:Yes *Will * is a name, I found this for you on www.ancestry.com
Will
English: short form of William, in use since the early Middle Ages, when it was occasionally used also for various other given names containing as their first element Germanic wil will, desire (e.g. Wilbert and Wilmer).
Hope this helps.
Reply:USUALLY it is a nickname, for William.
If the parents so chose.. they can select any name they want for a child, so it is not impossible that this could be the full original name. One would have to find a birth certificate if available to be sure.
Reply:Haven%26#039;t you ever heard of Will Rogers? Will is typically short for William and I think it sounds a little more sophisticated than Bill.
Reply:Yes.... It%26#039;s a pretty common name.

Anyone know how to find a birth record for a birth in 1898?
I am researching my grandfathers family and I am needing help finding a birth record in 1898?I have the exact date and place,but can%26#039;t find a record. Thanks! Karen
Anyone know how to find a birth record for a birth in 1898?
ancestry.com has a lot of birth and death records
Anyone know how to find a birth record for a birth in 1898?
Ya! where ever your birth was held, I mean to say if you know where you take birth (In which Hospital) then you will go there and find the records of the birth according to the Year of Birth.
Reply:This can be difficult.
(Assuming you are in the US) 1st, I would start with the county courthouse for the place where the person was born. Birth records are considered %26quot;Vital Records%26quot; - so you%26#039;d need to contact Vital Records in that particular county. Many times you have to do that by mail, but they usually have a phone number where you can find out the county%26#039;s procedure for getting a copy of a birth certificate.
It%26#039;s getting more and more difficult to get copies of birth certificates, because of the increase in Identity theft, but with a birth date that long ago, you shouldn%26#039;t have too many problems.
Unfortunately, not everybody got a birth certificate that long ago. Many children were born at home, so the only records were baptismal. Then you would have to try and figure out which church they attended, which can be a real pain in the you know what.
Good luck
Reply:Karen, you know the location but did not post it.. so hard to answer. Texas (for example) did not require birth certificates until 1903, and that was not even followed consistently for many years. Other states required registering births in the mid 1800s. UK started certificates in 1837, I think... justme can verify that info. It is completely possible that there is no certificate. That does not translate into %26quot;no record%26quot;, just that you must use an alternate source ie census, draft record, so forth.
Please feel free to send the details to me if you like, and I%26#039;ll see what I can locate in ancestry or otherwise.
Reply:Like Wendy C has already said here in the UK civil registration began on July 1st 1837, if it%26#039;s a UK birth I am happy to look it up for you, if it%26#039;s USA I would be guided by Wendy C, she%26#039;s a star.
Reply:Wendy%26#039;s right, they probably didn%26#039;t report the birth. Before WWII, it wasn%26#039;t mandatory in too many parts of the US or Canada. Voluntary birth records were kept and usually only if there was a doctor physically present at the birth and there was a cost to registering a birth. No one needed a birth certificate unless they went to get a passport. If your birth wasn%26#039;t recorded and you needed a passport or some other proof of age, the options were to get a certificate from the Census Bureau verifying your age and your parents, or go through the process of a %26quot;delayed birth certificate%26quot; with the Court in the county of your birth.
When we hit this obstacle, Plan B is to check with churches in the area for a baptismal certificate. That%26#039;s what usually fills in the gaps from 1600-1900 in North America. It%26#039;s all they usually had.

The easiesst world records ?
yea i no that every world record could be considered hard. But come up with some ideas you think there is no record for or a record that might be easiest to top.

Where to find my familys history???
so im so obsessed with finding out about my grandmothers%26#039; mom family nobody know where they are from it has been a big family secret since my grandparents first met not even my grandfather knows where she is from... So i need some major assistance on where to start and what websites are good... So if you could please help me i would greatly appreciate it, THANKS...

Where to find my familys history???
To do a family history you must have basic information, such as where your grandparents are from, otherwise you can%26#039;t do a proper family history.
The best thing to do is go to the Public Library in your city and ask one of the genealogists to help you begin your search. Without sufficient information you can%26#039;t build a family history. There are many genealogy websites that may also help.
Reply:For me, that many generations ago would be the early 1800s. A time frame would help, as well as WHAT COUNTRY. So, I will give you my standard list. The only country, other than the U.S., that I have been in a library was in Germany, so don%26#039;t know if the library will be of assistance to you.
You should start by asking all your living relatives about family history. Then, armed with that information, you can go to your public library and check to see if it has a genealogy department. Most do nowadays; also, don%26#039;t forget to check at community colleges, universities, etc. Our public library has both www.ancestry.com and www.heritagequest.com free for anyone to use (no library card required).
Another place to check out is any of the Mormon%26#039;s Family History Centers. They allow people to search for their family history (and, NO, they don%26#039;t try to convert you).
A third option is one of the following websites:
http://www.searchforancestors.com/...
http://www.censusrecords.net/?o_xid=2739...
http://www.usgenweb.com/
http://www.census.gov/
http://www.rootsweb.com/
http://www.ukgenweb.com/
http://www.archives.gov/
http://www.familysearch.org/
http://www.accessgenealogy.com/...
http://www.cyndislist.com/
http://www.geni.com/
Cyndi%26#039;s has the most links to genealogy websites, whether ship%26#039;s passenger lists, ancestors from Africa, ancestors from the Philippines, where ever and whatever.
Of course, you may be successful by googling: %26quot;john doe, born 1620, plimouth, massachusetts%26quot; as an example.
Good luck and have fun!

Then there is the DNA test; if you decide you want to REALLY know where your ancestors came from opt for the DNA test. Besides all the mistakes that officials commonly make, from 10% to 20% of birth certificates list the father wrong; that is, mama was doing the hanky-panky and someone else was the REAL father. That won%26#039;t show up on the internet or in books; it WILL show up in DNA.
I used www.familytreedna.com which works with the National Geographics Genotype Program.

Russian culture goes way back...
See this website:
http://www.ao.net/~fmoeller/rusorig.htm....
I have read about the Tartars; they were a nomadic people who even had their houses on wheels.
As you can see from this article, Russian people come from quite a few ancient tribes.
See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ukrainian_l...
And, as to Russian/Viking relationships, see:
http://www.viking.no/e/info-sheets/eston...
For a more thorough analysis, opt for a DNA test. I used www.ancestry.com. It revealed that I have Russian, Ukranian, etc., ancestry.
Reply:We can help you.
The first thing you need are to identify the facts you DO have, ie when grandma died, a record of that, and something to show about when and where she was born. Her death certificate might have the name(s) of the parents.
You did not include a country. In the US, we can search the 1930 census. If UK, the last open record is the 1901.
If you post a name and some details, someone can do a look up for you. Ancestry.com has the census, but it is fee based. Once we get a handle on her, then you%26#039;ll have an idea of the direction to go next.

NYgal does not seem to be aware of the people we have right here, that can get you started.
