Thanks so much for the info.  Yes, I have an LDS church close by as well as
a genealogical society of some sort I believe.  Never paid that much
attention to it as I drove by!  But I will now!  I always thought that it
was just for Mormons though.  Thank you for the links, I will check them
out.  I've been working on this all day with my sister via the computer and
my brain is just about mush, but we did find a little bit of info.  Just
enough to say I am beyond hooked now.  Thanks again everyone!  I sure
appreciate the help!

Frances:

You don't indicate if your husband's grandparents (his mother's parents)
were born here in the U.S. If they were you might try going back further than
  the 1900 census to see what you can find. If not you might want to see if
you  can find any information (Ancestry.com or Rootsweb.com) indicating
where they  originally came from and if Wesley Callahan Weddle was on an
emigration ship  with them from another country. Does you husband know if his
grandparents were  born Americans?

Good luck and good hunting

I have been advised to go to The Genealogist site as the best for UK searching,
do you think this is the best?
Many Thanks

Yes, I am pretty sure that George2 is the son of Frederick. He cannot be
accounted for after 1881 in Ontario, not can his younger sisters for that
matter.
 
There is a marriage for Margaret May and Roy and it is in Michigan, that is the
puzzle.

> 1) ...
> Her father was George, born Ontario, mother Mary Ann Cragg

I see that the US censuses for Margaret & Roy Bradford do not show an
immigration-year for Margaret, and I see that Roy's parents are from Canada.
Possibly Roy & Margaret met in Canada, and possibly married in Canada - in which
case, Margaret entered the US as the wife of an American citizen (which was not
the same as if Margaret had entered the US as a single unmarried Canadian).

Ontario, Canada Marriages, 1857-1924
Name: George Asling
Spouse Name: M. Ann Craig
Marriage Date: 24 Feb 1882
Marriage Place: Greenbank
Registration Number: 41332
Archives of Ontario Microfilm: 40

> 2) George b.1860 married to Christine b,1867.

>
> 1930 Sault Sainte Marie, Chippewa, Michigan
> Asling, George/70:Canada, Christine/64:Canada
> married 41 yrs; both immigration 1885

A possible match in 1900 - same county -
1900 Bruce, Chippewa, Michigan
Asling, George, head 41 married 11 yrs born May 1859 Canada
- immigration 1881; farmer
(), Christina F, wife 34 married 11 yrs born Apr 1866 Canada
- immigration 1881; 0 children

If their immigration was early enough in 1881, they may have managed to avoid
both the US 1880 census and the Canadian 1881 census!
Otherwise, they should appear in the 1881 Canada census.
If there are any Michigan state censuses, they would be useful.
Their length of marriage indicates marriage-year circa 1889.
There should be both immigration and naturalization records for George Asling.

U.S. City Directories > Michigan > Michigan > 1888-1901 >
Sault Ste Marie City Directory 1888-9
Asling George, carpenter, bds Ontario house.

This is a possible match, based on birthyear -
1881 Hindon and Anson, Victoria North, Ontario
Asling, Frederick/53, Jane/49, Edward/29, William John/26,
(), George/21, Eliza Ann/19, James/16, Ida Jane/13, Emma/10

Which is a match to -

Hi Lora, Have you tried posting on the state broads where your family members
come from or may have lived? sometimes that helps and it also may take a long
time to get an a reply but keep tryng. The LDS Chruch has alot of info but
check it as they dont always have the facts right. when ordering any
brith/death/marrage records check with the county first then the state it may
save you time and money.I hope this helps. Glennis

Hi Judy and Tina,
Thank you for your responses. I think that it is going to be very difficult
but I also don't give up very easily. Tina, I'm afraid it IS too late for
interviews. There aren't any family members left on my dads side, at least
that I know of. We have one cousin who is about 60 now and we are trying to
locate contact info for him. No luck so far. My Dad supposedly came from a
family of 16 kids. None of my family went to church at least as far back as
I can remember. I have my Dads obit but there is nothing of great value in
there either. Also, I live in a very rural town and there are no community
colleges even remotely close that I could take a class from. That's why I
join groups! If I need to know something, I can usually find a group for
it! LOL I'm just going to have to sit down and start with what I know and
go from there until I get his birth certificate. Thank you so much for all
of your helpful advice. I'm sure I will have more questions as I go.

My response: Well, it sounds like you are going to have an adventurous
journey of discovery!  The obit didn't say much, do you have his death
certificate? It may provide information that can lead you back to the birth
certificate.  Did he have any brushes with the law? Buy or sell real estate?
Serve in the military?  Do you have any information on the other siblings?
Sometimes, we can find our own ancestor by tracking kin.  One warning: don't
trust other people's genealogical work on your family-verify everything.
I've run across several incidences where someone else made a connection
between two people where no such connection existed.  Always verify with the
best primary evidence you can find and two or more pieces of primary
evidence is even better.

Happy hunting and don't give up! Brick walls can be breached!

A few months ago you helped me find my husband's grandfather Lewis Jasper
Russell's parents and siblings.  I am pleased to report that it led to my
finding four more generations of his Russell ancestors back to Tennessee.

I hope you can help me with another issue.  My husband's mother's maiden name
was Myrtle Weddle.  I have never been able to find her father who was supposedly
named Wesley Callahan Weddle.  I have found her as a three-year-old child with
her mother, Nancy Jane (Collins) and her husband a Mr. Waits, and the half
brother of Myrtle, Sam Petty, on the 1900 census.  On that census record
Myrtle's father's birthplace is listed as Missouri; however, I have never been
able to find anyone by that name in Missouri, Arkansas, where I found Nancy
living with her widowed mother and some of her siblings, or in Texas.  There are
numerous Weddles in Texas, and I have corresponded with one of them, but he has
not familiar with that name.  I have no knowledge of his age.

Myrtle told me that her mother died when she was about seven or eight years old
and that she went to live with her mother's brother, George Washington Collins,
and his family in Denton or Montague county where she met and married Jesse.  I
found her listed with her husband, Jesse Russell and their thee oldest children
on the 1920 Census.

I have found several generations of the Collins family.

Thank you for any help with the search for Wesley Callahan Weddle.

Lora asked: I am completely 'green' to geneaology but my sister and I want

My reply: I've worked on my family history (paternal and maternal) for 15-20
years, off and on. It has been a slow process with lots of brick walls. Even
with all the online search engines, you are unlikely to find everything laid
out in a nice neat family tree (and even if you do, you'll want to verify
the information).  You start with what you know and work from there. When I
started, I didn't even know all four grandparents so I had to get that.
Then, their vital statistics. and just keep working backwards. It means
finding/ordering birth certificates, death certificates, marriage licenses.
(I broke through one brick wall when I found the ancestor's homestead claim
which included his naturalization papers). Once you get to where you can
look on census records, you do look-ups on the census records.  If you are
totally "green" to genealogy, I would highly recommend taking a class - your
local community college probably one in their "continuing education/adult
education" roster. The other recommendation is: interview your elder family
members before it is too late! Pick their brain(s) for all the family
history they have in their heads and all the family stories..don't wait as
you may miss out on a great resource!

Thanks Bob,
The info that I have for my dad is so sketchy that I think I will wait for
his birth certificate.  I don't even have his dads name and I only have his
mothers maiden name, nothing more.  Since he was born in 1931 there aren't
any census records or at least that was what I was told.  I will start with
what I know and just go from there.  Thanks so much for the advice.

You could try contacting the Tennessee Office of Vital Records
http://health.state.tn.us/vr/
"The Tennessee Office of Vital Records registers and maintains the original
certificates of births, deaths, marriages and divorces that occur in Tennessee.
Certified copies of the original records are available to the person named on
the record and to certain family members or legal representatives."

As a daughter, you would fall in the category of "certain family members".
The birth certificate should give you *at least* the name of her mother, and
probably the father as well. And that begins a trail to find the marriage
certificate and the records for those parents, etc ... ... ...

And have you tried looking at the USGenWeb webpage for Bledsoe County Tennessee?
(Pikeville happens to be the county seat of Bledsoe County.)
http://www.tngenweb.org/bledsoe/
(You may be able to find a volunteer to do a birth certificate lookup for you.)

Ancestry, etc. are good places to get clues - but - actual birth
certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, etc. are the
definitive records, at least for your direct ancestors. It isn't always
necessary to go to that expense for siblings of direct ancestors, but
sometimes the need arises to go w/spending the money on theirs as well.
Church records, obituaries are another valuable resource, but not
necessarily all that accurate. And once you get back a few generations land
records and wills and estates become much the choice and primary resources.
I had a link most of us knew but couldn't prove for years until I stumbled
onto an 1804 law suit that led me to a 1770 land record that led to the
definitive 1797 land record.

I have too many George Aslings and at least half of them are mysteries.
1) Margaret May Asling who married Roy Leighton Bradford in 1903. Her father was
George, born Ontario, mother Mary Ann Cragg (Cragg or Craig?). I know who this
George is but he never left Ontario. How did his daughter get to Michigan? Mary
Ann must have died before 1887 but can't find a death certificate, nor a birth
or baptism, with name, for Margaret May, who I am pretty sure was illegitimate.

2) George b.1860 married to Christine b,1867. Can they be found before the 1910
census? Can anyone find a marriage document? Thanks, Pat

Lora
    You would do well to start with yourself and work backwards to your folks
and grand parents and great gran parents etc. Verify as many and as much of the
data as possible meaning dates , places spelling etc.  LDL chauch and Ancestry
are a good place to start they have billions of records that can be accesed
online.

Hope this helps Bob

Hi there-

I've been working on my family history on and off for the past decade (keeping a
day job as a journalist.) After a few years at it, I started writing a mystery
novel with a genealogist as my protagonist. I've finished it and done extensive
editing and re-writes.

At this point, I'd really love to hear feedback from potential readers who know
genealogy (especially those who might enjoy traditional murder mysteries in the
Agatha Christie style.)

If anyone has some reading time and interest, please shoot me an email. (This is
not a sales gimmick, the book is not for sale - I'm just looking for input from
experts and those interested in the subject.)

Thank you!

This is a bit bizzare, but there is a Theodore Weed that is a police
lieutenant in the Niagara Falls area.  I've seen his name in the news
related to a story from this summer.  Might be worth looking for him to see
if he has any information or could provide an obituary as they may be
related.  It doesn't strike me as a particularly common name.

ObitsArchive has a hit:
THEODORE S. WEED, DECORATED WAR VETERAN
Buffalo News, The (NY) - November 17, 2001
but it apparently cost $2.95 for one obit, or $19.95 monthly.
(query: THEODORE WEED, narrowed to BUFFALO, NY)
http://www.ObitsArchive.com

I am not familiar with this next website
(like what they charge or what they have available),
but I found some material on a "THEODORE S WEED"
(I entered query THEODORE WEED in NEW YORK) -
http://www.lookupanyone.com/

THEODORE S WEED (age) 47, Niagara Falls, NY
relatives:
Nicky Weed
Nicolina Weed
Nicolena H Weed
Tabitha A Weed
Nicole M Weed
Antoniett D Weed

THEODORE S WEED (age) 78, Niagara Falls, NY

I want to add my congratulations regarding your contact.  I have made 2 cross
country trips with my trailer.  There were several times that my genealogy
investigation found a local relative that I could contact and I did.  I was
even offered to bring the trailer and park out back - get to know the family -
and I did just that.  I shared information with them and they with me.  I
would strongly suggest that whether by phone, Internet, email, or in person,
make the connection and get to know family as best you can ,

Denise,

Good for you for contacting your aunt! I've contacted plenty of family
members with whom I had little or no contact throughout my life, including
my father. I've honestly never been sorry. Even if I don't get a good
relationship out of the contact, I usually get enough information to make
the contact worth my while. I'm happy for you.

I use ancestry.com for my tree. It is super easy to build there. I
download my tree regularly from there, just to safeguard it. But I honestly
have no worries about the future of ancestry.com. 50 years or 100 years? I
don't know. But for quite a while.

If you take the following steps, you can download a gedcom of your tree to
your hard drive. It will not bring the records you have attached nor the
photos, but it will bring the citations and information. If you have Family
Tree Maker 2010, you CAN download media, although not the censuses, etc.

Downloading a tree from ancestry.com:

Click the Family Trees tab at the top of your ancestry.com page.

Click Manage Tree

Click Export tree (on the right of the screen)

Under that tab, it will say "Generating a GEDCOM file" and give a
completion percentage. It could take a while, depending upon the size of
your tree. This will keep processing even if you leave that page.

When the GEDCOM is generated, click the button that says "Download your
GEDCOM file." If, like happens to me, you get a list of computer generated
code instead of a download box, right click the button instead, select "Save
Target as ..." and go through the process you would with any download.

That should do it!

Dawn

Subject: [Genealogy Research Club] 1 last question for now.

I have been in contact with an Aunt that we lost contact with back in Feb.
2008 when my Grandmother died. Although I contacted her out of nowhere she
has been very willing to help me and has given me more information than I
could have possibly dreamed of. I am so excited and glad that I swallowed
my pride and contacted her.

As for my question. I have a program that I started my family tree on
called Family Historian 3.1, however since I signed up with Ancestry.com it
is so much easier to add information to that family tree. This is also
better because you can share the tree with other members of the family. My
question is, does anyone else use Ancestry.com for their family tree? And
if you do, do you have any concerns about the future of the website? Like
will it be around for another 50 or 100 years? Is there a way to back up
the information from the website to a disk?

Thank you in advance for any information.

 
Thank you,
