In a previous post (here), I unveiled new photographs of Bernt Olsen Bonn (1856-1937) and Bertha Pettersdatter Aaberge (1865-1936) which were obtained last year from our Norwegian cousins in the Sogndal area.
This summer, we brought…

My very first breakthrough when I started working on the family tree a decade ago came in our Kennelly line of ancestors.
My Father's 1995 genealogy report went back no further than Harriet Kennelly (1835-1906), his great-grandmother and…

In a 2018 post, I detailed the case for Henry King as the father of 3GG Stephen W. King (1824-1865). See it here. The conclusion was that Henry was a good candidate, but more evidence was required to be sure of the relationship. The analysis…

We've been exploring my Alsatian heritage rather extensively in recent weeks. (See blog posts here, here, here, and here.) While reviewing one last time all the parish and civil vital records for Dannemarie, France, I discovered an intriguing…

In 2016, I wrote three articles that were published in consecutive editions of the Minnesota Genealogist. All three articles were about my ancestor Fred A. King (1857-1920):

I finally received the pre-1793 parish records for Dannemarie in Alsace, France. I mentioned this previously (here). I ordered them from the Centre de Recherches sur l'Histoire des Families in Guebwiller, Alsace.
The package took a month…

I neglected DNA analysis last year but am determined to spend more time on it this year. Taking the SLIG course, Genetic Genealogy, in January was the first step.
Secondly, I am proceeding with visual phasing of my siblings and I. This…

It is rare to find images of third great-grandparents (3GGs).
In my previous post here, I reported the discovery of a photograph of Berte Mikkelsdatter Vikheim (1812-1883), a 3GG. Although she's the first Norwegian, she is the eighth 3GG…

Boy, do I love finding new photographs of ancestors!
A DNA match reached out to me last week. It turned out she is one of our many Albertson cousins in Minnesota and has several 19th century images she was kind enough to share. The key…

Oh my goodness ... when it rains it pours. Without really expecting to, I found the ship passenger record for Lawrence & Rose Whaley when they immigrated from France!
