I made a listing of the online resources I use in my genealogical research, and more specifically in my research into my family history. I use mainly genealogical sources from Belgium, the Netherlands and France, since that is where my ancestors lived. Maybe it can help you further along in your genealogy!
Would you add another source? Please let me know!#genealogy #FamilyResearch #FamilyTree #GenealogicalSources #sources #archives #geneadons @geneadons

During my genealogy research, I stumbled upon a mystery: a girl who had died at age 3 marries 30 years later at age 33. This is not possible, of course. Discover how I try to solve the riddle of conflicting certificates.

In 1863, shortly after William Watts turned 18 years old, he embarked on a dangerous journey spanning 110 miles to reach the Union enlistment office in Cassville, Missouri.

Phew.
331 photos uploaded to the computer (and copied to the external drive).
200+ of those were family photos for #FamilyResearch, but the rest is of new #handmade items to be listed in the shop over the next week.
Sneak peek photo.

25 Aug 1778 a letter was written by a lawyer named George Reed, agreeing to defend Lofland in his treason case, for $500.00, but reserved the right to deny representation in 'his other case, due to personal concerns and issues.'
Considering he remarried in 1788, his first wife having died in 1781, it appears that he was either acquitted or pardoned.
He died in 1792.

8 Jul 1777, a warrant for his arrest, w/ a $300 reward to any person(s) who could capture him & jail him, was signed by John McKinley & James Booth, Secretary.

When you discover that you share the exact same Mayflower ancestors with your brother in law, making him a very, very distant cousin.
His 10th great grandmother is my 11th great grandmother, via our Snow and Hopkins lines.

Scanned and uploaded 140+ family photos to the laptop.
Now to go through, edit for sharpness, reorient and label them. Then attach select ones to the family tree.

Today, I found out I had a great-great -uncle who was killed in WW1. A wee bit more digging and I found out a bit more about him, including a photo.

Mark is in New Jersey, visiting with his dad.
They're visiting family at the cemetery and he's sending me photos of headstones, which makes me happy. Gives me definite names and dates to research to find out what happened with them.

This person is simultaneously relayed to me and at the same time, not.
Via the adopted line, they are my 7th cousin. But adopted is not blood related.
If I follow their maternal line, they are related to me via the 6th greatgrandfather of the husband of my 3rd cousin 3x removed. Which, still, is not blood related, according to Ancestry.
Need to check a 3rd surname I found. Maybe the blood connection is there.

The Five Tribes Commission lodged a protest against the US Court for the Southern District's overturning of their rejection.
Apparently, this was not the first time the US Court had over ruled their sovereign rights and forced them to accept people they *knew* were not NA as citizens.
The cynical side of me thinks it was likely so they could claim more land for us white people.

Doing more #FamilyResearch, & this guy is a contradiction.
He fought on the side of the Confederacy, was a member of the 'United Confederate Veterans', granted a Confederate pension from Oklahoma, & yet in 1906, applied to the Five Tribes Commission, claiming to be descended from the Cherokee.
His application was denied, so he appealed to the US Court, & it was then granted.
If true, the descent is from his father, as I'm descended from his mother's line & there is absolutely no NA in my DNA.
