  • The Knapp Family Association

    The Knapp family is affiliated with my Leonard family through the second marriage of Sophronia, first wife of Russell Leonard. After Russell vanished in 1833, she married Thomas H. Knapp. They lived in Cayuga County, New York, and had several children. This valuable resource published by The Knapp Family Association may prove to be of some interest to the Knapp family. Organized in 1936, the goal was to honor and perpetuate the memory of our immigrant ancestors - Nicholas, William, Aaron and Roger Knapp. They began publishing this bulletin in March of 1937 and appears to have been published through April of 1960, the issues shown here: [Alternate Link] CLICK HERE FOR MORE FREE GENEALOGY RESOURCES #Knapp #Leonard #leonard

  • Harvey family burial plot

    Thank you to Sandy Jackson for contributing this receipt for payment to Willow Glen Cemetery for the burial plot he purchased in 1937 when his wife, Gertrude died. The total amount paid was $35 for 100 square feet of space, which seems way lower than today's burial costs, but according to dollartimes.com, $35 in 1937 was equivalent to $591 in 2016. It's still a fraction of today's burial expenses! Minimal services are $3000 and up. Click here to see their headstone. See the Harvey page for more family memorabilia! #Harvey #harvey

  • The homes of Percy Daniels

    Percival "Percy" Daniels was born, supposedly, in Olympia, Thurston County, Washington, on Dec. 5, 1881. He has proven difficult to trace, but through paper trails and ship records, we are able to see the extent of his travels, and how by some miracle he ended up in the rural center of New York State to start his family. The following is an aerial view of Olympia's location and terrain [Alternate Link]: You can use GoogleMaps Street View to tour the city. One interesting feature I noticed was the Port of Olympia log yards, which Percy's father was probably familiar with. [Alternate Link] When or how he left Olympia has yet to be determined, but my guess is that Puget Sound had something to do with it. Percy was a sailor at the turn of the 20th century and he kept an address at South Street Seaport in New York City. [Alternate Link] He gave his address as 27 South Street, New York, when he traveled on the S.S. Oscar II from Copenhagen to New York in March, 1907. His age was given as 25. The ship records are shown here. In 1920, when he was traveling on the S.S. Italia, from Gibraltar to New York, his age was given as 39 years, 2 months. It states he was born on December 5, 1881, in Olympia, Washington. Seaman's Card 12857 NY, address: 542 St Peter St. New Or, La. Also, 27 South Street, New York. This map shows his Louisiana address. View larger map and zoom to street view to see the historic building still standing at the location and the streets Percy walked. [Alternate Link] Located at that address are the historic Pontalba Buildings, in Jackson Square. The Parisian style "row-house building" was built in the 1840s and is located in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Still standing today, the lower level features restaurants and shops, while the upper level contains apartments. According to Wikipedia, these are said to be the oldest continually-rented apartments in the United States. Some people debate this, claiming they were originally row homes and were not used for apartments until the 1930s. Based the fact that Percy used this address in 1920, I would assume it was a small apartment or more likely a room he was renting for the little time he was on land and in the area, which wasn't much. Or maybe it was a girlfriend's address? His daughter did mention a French woman in his past. I'm still trying to identify the woman photographed with him in the only photo I have of him. Shown here is 542 Saint Peter's Street: [Alternate Link] Perhaps some digging into who was renting the unit in 1920 might shed some light on the mystery. On April 22, 1929, Percy married Vena Dykeman in Cortland, New York. The marriage certificate is posted here. On the certificate, his address is given as 137 Port Watson Street, which appears to be the home here: [Alternate Link] In 1930 when the census was taken, he was living nearby on Tioughnioga Ave. in Cortlandville, New York. The exact location is unknown, but it is shown here, beside the Tioghnioga River. [Alternate Link] Percy's home in 1940 was discussed in a previous blog post. Click here.

  • Everybody knows Dorothy Gale

    You may not know it but you have heard of Dorothy Gale. She was from Kansas. Need more clues? She had a dog named Toto and an aunt named Em. Now you must know! Certainly, most people know Dorothy pretty well. I thought I did! That is, until today, when I came across this book while searching for information about the family of my 2nd great-grandmother, Elizabeth Gale. I learned that Dorothy's full name was Dorothy Gale. Of course, I realize Dorothy is a fictional character and doesn't have a family tree, but it is interesting, nevertheless, and fans of Wizard of Oz might enjoy this work by the same author, anyway. #Gale #Daniels #daniels #wizardofoz

  • Finding cemeteries and burials

    Paper trails can be hard to find, but Benjamin Franklin said it best when he said, "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." Even when there are no clues to be found about a person's life, you can usually find tax or census records and you can almost always find some record of death. If you know the exact place of death or burial, most towns provide copies of death or burial certificates, but it will cost you at least $10 per record, assuming you know the approximate date of death. When you are researching a family tree, that can get pricey! It is also quite time consuming. You can try the resources on my Vital Records page to find the date of death. Today, cremation is a popular alternative to the traditional burial, and people aren't always buried in a cemetery anymore. Cremated remains can be placed in an urn and kept on a shelf or placed in a mausoleum, but back back in the old days most people were buried in a cemetery plot in the ground. Some are marked with headstones and some are not, but most cemeteries, local historians, and/or churches have records somewhere. If there is no burial record, you will need to try to get a copy of the death certificate from the town or county clerk's office. You can also try to find obituaries in newspapers - there are millions online now (click here to see), but here I'll share the places I look to find cemetery records. There are also some old magazine publications and books that have published church records, transcriptions of tombstones and epitaphs. They can be hard to find but I have posted some in the past. Search my site for the name of the town or the cemetery and see what you come up with Click here for my list of places to find cemetery records.

  • Early Massachusetts Counties

    When searching for records of ancestors from New England, it's important to know what the county was called at the time. County names and boundaries have changed. This is a summary of the changes. Plymouth, Massachusetts was the second established English settlement in America, founded by the Pilgrims in 1620. Ten years later, in 1630, the Puritans followed and formed The Massachusetts Bay Colony in the vicinity of present day Boston. In its early days of colonization, the settlers relied on fishing, farming, as well as trade with Europe for survival. People who didn’t agree with the Puritan beliefs were banished and left Massachusetts, forming other colonies. For example, Roger Williams was banished and founded the colony of Rhode Island. In 1691, the Plymouth Colony and Massachusetts Bay Colony were joined to form Massachusetts. There were four counties when the Massachusetts Bay Colony was created. They were: (Old) Norfolk County, created in 1643, became New Hampshire in 1680 (with the exception of Salisbury and Haverhill, which were added to Essex County) Middlesex County (Cambridge and Lowell) created in 1643 Essex County (Salem and Lawrence) created in 1643 Suffolk County (Boston) created in 1643 Norfolk County (Dedham) formed from Suffolk County in 1793 As they expanded westward, more counties were added: Hampshire County (Northampton) created in 1662 Worcester County (Worcester) formed from Hampshire, Middlesex, and Suffolk Counties in 1732 Berkshire County (Pittsfield) formed from Hampshire County in 1761 Franklin County (Greenfield) formed from Hampshire County in 1811 Hampden County (Springfield) formed from Hampshire County in 1812 Dukes County (Edgartown), formerly part of New York, until 1691 Nantucket County (Nantucket) formed from Dukes (formerly Hampshire) in 1695 The Plymouth Colony was added in 1685: Plymouth County (Plymouth and Brockton) created in 1685 Bristol County (Taunton) created in 1685 Barnstable County (Barnstable) created in 1685 Map courtesy of AnonMoos If you'd like to read more about the formation of Massachusetts counties, see Historical Data Relating to Counties, cities, towns in Massachusetts.
