Stumbling Across More Family Connections

Welcome!

I continue to search whatever resources that I can. I've been searching old newspaper articles. I have found some photos of relatives. There were birth announcements, obituaries, cards of thanks, marriage and divorce filed. Every little info adds to the family history.

I wish all the best in the 2nd quarter of 2019.
Thanks for reading.
God Bless you.

 The DADE Family Connections: Here's the link April In Memory

I came across another DNA cousin. This cousin is on the Benjamin DADE Family Connections. Benjamin, son of Isaac and Frances (OVRINGTO) DADE. Ben and Lucy had a daughter named Martha (DADE) CARTER. She  married Lewis CARTER. They had a daughter named Melvina (CARTER) HAWKINS. She married Charles Edward HAWKINS.

I haven't added Martha (CARTER) HAWKIN's descendants to this "In Remembrance." There are so many of them.  Martha and Lewis had eight children. I have to sort through what I have. And it's odd that I only have one DNA match to this Benjamin DADE.  I came across someone who said that they were connected with Martha (DADE) CARTER. They didn't take the DNA test.

The BARTLETT Family Connections:
Here's the link April In Memory

I haven't come across new birth or death info to add to this In Remembrance list.
Last  month, I came across new leads from a marriage record.

Name:	Mr. Elias Bartley
Marriage Date:	29 Dec 1876
Marriage Place:	Carroll, Missouri, USA
Spouse:	Harriet Hughes

I'm not for sure if this couple is Elias Bartlett and Harriet Buffington.  I recall when my Grandmother, Jennie Bartlett remarried my Grandfather, John Blakye in 1902 , her maiden name was spell Bartle.

Harriett had may have had several names. Hooper, Fisher, Buffington and, Hughes.
Hooper on daughter Juanita (Bartlett) Armstrong's 1929 death record.
Fisher on Paul Bartlett's  1936 Social Security Application And Claims Index
Buffington on Lucy E. (Bartlett) Horan's 1939 Social Security Application And Claims Index
Hughes on the Missouri marriage record in 1876.

Making More Discovers: Marching On With Clues

Welcome To The Month Of March!

I hope all who are searching are still marching along to the clues that you are stumbling across. I have been. And the hardest thing is, when we hit a brick wall. The clues just hang there.

I move on to other things. I search newspapers or google. I try do to keep looking at brick walls. It's a waste of time. We have to use judgments to know when to stop.


The Winter Season is coming to a close.
I'm ready for Spring.
Happy Spring!
Spring begins on March 20th
 
Thanks for reading.
God bless you.

The Heart Of Searching For Family Connections

Welcome To February!

I can't recall when the inspiration for me to search for my family connections begin. Though the years, my heart of searching for family connections has grown. I've been connecting other family members to one another. Thank You, Jesus!

I pray that others who are searching and those who will have the desire to search for their family connections, will reach out to others so that they will discover more on their family history. There are a lot of people who don't know where to search searching.

I'm  thankful that there are people who are taking the DNA test. I've have more DNA cousins that I didn't know about. DNA is a good place to start your journey. It's helpful to start a family tree as well.

Thanks for reading.
God bless you.

Overwhelmed By New Clues

Welcome to Twenty Nineteen!
Greetings to the New Year!

I'm thankful to all who have taken the DNA test  and those who will. This helps us build a DNA Family Circle. I notice that many don't know their family history. 

We, who are searching for our ancestors  are on our journey; discovering more on our family connections.  May we continues to search and share what we know with one another. Amen!
