I'm doing my Paternal Grandfather this week - here is his gravestone - Nell (Ellen Olive Clement) Found in Union Cemetery, Plymouth, Sheboygan, Wisconsin

Military Monday - Corporal Ernest J Fitzpatrick

2011-10-24T00:01:00.000-07:00

Here is my Paternal Grandfather's discharge papers. His obit says " During World I, he srved overseas with the 41st division from 1917 to 1919. He was awarded the Purple Heart from the federal government in 1932 in recognition of his special acts of bravery in combat action.

After having contacting VA they can not confirm that. Is there another way to find out? Any help appreciated.

Obituary Sunday - Rev. Ernest J Fitzpatrick

2011-10-23T00:01:00.000-07:00

I've decided to dedicate this week to my Paternal Grandfather - Reverend Ernest James Fitzpatrick. He is rather a roadblock for me for several reasons.

1) I never met him since he died 10 years before I was even born and 4 years before my parents were married.

2) He was born in Canada (Toronto) and it seems to be hard to get records from there sometimes. (He became a naturalzed a citizen of the US)

3) He fought in WWI for the US Army while still a citizen of Canada.

4) It is said that his father was a missionary and he (grandfather) got some of his education over in South Africa. I have written several times to verify with no results.

Thank You Thursday – Great Aunt Marion

2011-09-01T00:01:00.000-07:00

My great Aunt Marion Violet Plaisted (1901 – 1980) was the one who first did the family history. She was trying to prepare to join the DAR in the late 60’s or early 70’s. She did the CRAM side of the family and then typed it up she had back to John Cram who came to America in 1639. I hope to be able to use part of it to obtain membership into the DAR myself. I am in the process of trying to document the names that she had listed.

I remember Aunt Marion as being a true New Englander (born in raised in a small New Hampshire town – Meredith). She lived there her entire life. She worked for the Post Office at the end of her street (High Street). The summer we visited her for the first time 1968 (since we then went on to the World’s Fair in Montreal, Canada) she took us everywhere. The state capitol in Concord, the Old Man in the Mountain, the Trading Post at the bottom of the hill (there was a bear on top of the post), the Weirs, Annalee doll factory. I just wish I had been older than 8 at the time to fully appreciate it. She took us to the York Beach in Maine the first time the California kid saw the Atlantic ocean. We were walking down the when we ran into my Great Aunt on my grandfather’s side of the family. The family joke has always been that we were related to just about everyone..

Her home was turned into was turned into condos or apartments after her death. I was a huge 2 story house with a big attached garage (or barn). I remember the pot belly stove in the living room for heat and the stove in the kitchen being part cast iron. It’s amazing what you remember as a child. .

She was said to be the Postmistress at the post office, but I haven’t been able to verify it. (does anyone know a good source for this?)

Motivation Monday - Getting Started Again

2011-08-29T00:01:00.000-07:00

Schools started so I should probably start again too.

Although I haven’t been posting here much lately (shame on me). I have been busy requesting Birth and Death Certificates for my relations (Grandparents, Parents). Been scouring books and Ancestry.com to see if I can get documentation for applying to DAR.

I hoping to continue/add to/update(monthly) my list of To Dos.
1)Send to Michigan for Grandparents (maternal) death certificates (DONE)
2)Send to Wisconsin for Grandparents (paternal) death certificates (DONE)
3)Send to New Hampshire for Grandparents (maternal) birth cerfticates (DONE)
4)Join California Genealagical Society (DONE)
5)Join Connecticut Society of Genealogists, Inc (DONE)
6)Join Minnesota Genealogy Society (sent 7/2011)
7)Join Santa Clara County Historical & Genealogy Society (DONE)
8)Look for relative entries on Find A Grave (on-going)

Love to hear your tips on how you stay motivated.

Getting Back to It

2011-05-07T23:57:00.000-07:00

I need to get back to my page I’ve been working on my genealogy, but not publishing what I’ve been doing. I just finished helping my nephew with his "Pilgrim" homework. They had to identify the relative who came to America, when, why, etc. We used Elder Edmund Frost who came in 1635 and who was one of the group to help found Harvard College.

I think to drive me to post everyday I will post the events of my family for each day. Please feel free to point me to the memes of the day. I will be going through my pictures to post for Wordless Wednesdays.

I have posted my family to WikiTree to see what leads that might bring. It looks like it might be an interesting site to work with. What other places do you post your family files? (Ancestry, RootsWeb, Geni)

I want to try to submit my family for DAR membership this year. It’s time I’ve been working on it for several years now and I’ve finally gotten most of the documentation. Just waiting for a marriage certificate from Montana now. I figure after that’s confirmed I can then look at other societies (First Families of some of the New England States). What do you belong to and how long did it take you to apply and get your information together. I realize there are some Societies out that that are by invitation only – do you belong to any of them?

On this day….May 7

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Why Do Genealogy?

2010-06-26T01:03:00.000-07:00

Hey genealogy buffs - it's Saturday Night - time for more Genealogy Fun!

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to:

1) Think about the question: "Why do I pursue genealogy and family history research?"

2) Tell us about it on your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a comment on Facebook.

This question was prompted by a current ongoing discussion on the APG Public mailing List about celebrities and their relationship to royalty of famous historical persons. There are some excellent responses in this mailing list thread.

Here's why I pursue genealogy and family history research:

1) To find out more about my family and find out what place they held in history.

I've always been interested in history and think its important to find out how we fit into it. I like to find that hidden gem of what drove people to move, become missionaries, how the names carried through the years.

I thought I'd try this Link Party again this week. I'm still searching for a link party that I can do each week and spread the word about the diversity of my interests (crafts - counted cross-stitch, collecting postcards, reading, and genealogy).

Please let me know if you now of any general format Link Partys. Thanks for taking a look at my blogs.

This has nothing to do with my family, but I thought it would be perfect to share. This is actually a postcard from Poland that shows several cemeteries.

Hope you enjoy.

Welcome Wednesday

2010-05-05T22:21:00.000-07:00

I thought I'd try this Link Party this week. I'm trying to find one that I can post to consistantly that will fit with what my intersted are - I've noticed that most are craft related and I'm not always up on my crafts (usually counted cross stitch).

I do read a lot and collect postcards and work on my genealogy (family history). Please let me know if you now of any general format Link Partys. Thanks for letting me try this one this week.

I've been working on my genealogy(family history)lately and have discovered some new relatives. I've also been helping my nephew with a "Pilgrim" project his earliest ancestor to come the the US. I hoping to use Elder Edmund Frost who came in 1636 from England. It would be his 10th great grandfather to try to explain to him, since he is only 8 (will be 9 on the 26th of this month).

Just wanted to let others know. I know it's not a crafty thing today, but it seemed like a great thing to share - hope you don't mine.

2010-02-13T01:28:00.001-08:00

I'm sorry I haven't been around lately - my dad went into the hospital last Thursday and then came home on Tuesday this week with Hospice. He died in the early hours on Friday.

He was ready and just wanted to get home to be with family.

Believe I 'll off for a little bit longer - will make sure that prize is awarded for the Magic Carpet Ride Contest.

52 Weeks to Better Genealogy - Week #1

2010-01-07T04:15:00.000-08:00

52 Weeks To Better Genealogy - Challenge #1 Go to your local public library branch

What a great idea. Most of the books here at the local library are how-tos, but it always a good thing to check to see if they have new books. I have checked some of them out in the past as refreshers after I've not done a lot of genealogy for a while.

The reference area has quite a lot of history of the surrounding cities (Los Gatos, Campbell) and the local county (Santa Clara). There are a couple of books on the local city (Saratoga). I've actually used them to help me find some more out for my Graveyard Rabbit site Madronia Cemetery.

I love this library, since I can log on from home and use there online resouces like Heritage Quest. They also have several other databased that can be viewed.

It is definately worth checking out your local library.

Intro

I have been lucky enough to get some family history (Plaisted – Maternal Grandmother) passed down from a Great Aunt years ago that was working on her DAR membership application. I was in my early teens at the time and didn’t really know what genealogy was at the time. I’m not sure I know that much more 30 years later.

I have leaned to do research better. I’ve taken may seminars and classes through the years aoftn being the youngest one there. I do know now the earlier you start the better.
