Jen’s Genealogical Research Blog

Published by Jennifer under Familia

I created a new blog on this domain last night dedicated to my miscellaneous genealogical research – the baptism, birth, and passenger lists, etc., and other data that’s too boring to post here and doesn’t fit in directly with my genealogy wiki.  I also plan on posting research methods that have worked well for me, [...]

Michael Brey

Published by Jennifer under Familia

Well it turns out that Michael Brey’s daughter, Elizabeth Brey, wasn’t so elusive after all.  We did have her parent’s names, so that’s always a plus (there’s nothing more annoying in genelogical research than an end of the line), and I found a great deal of information about her, her father Michael Brey, and her siblings [...]

The Elusive Elizabeth Brey

Published by Jennifer under Familia

I’ve put Jacob Beals research on the backburner now and have moved on to his wife, Elizabeth Brey, both for a change of pace and in hopes of getting some Jacob information out of the new line of research. What’s so tricky about these two is that there are so many variations on the spellings of [...]

The Mystery That Is Jacob Beals

Published by Jennifer under Familia

I got to the end of the Beals line today in my genealogy wiki, Jacob Beals, and am dying to know more – who were your parents, Jacob Beals?  This is too early to be the end of the line! I did manage to get a nice amount of information from Mouser Ancestry, and you [...]

Great Great Grandpa James Francis Beals

Published by Jennifer under Familia

I’m still working mainly on my dad’s side of the family and have spent the past couple of days putting James Francis Beals‘s page together and it would truly be ‘but a mere shadow of its former self’ (a phrase my dad used to use often) if it weren’t for the vast amount of information [...]

Susanah Hoffman McQuiston

Published by Jennifer under Familia

I found an obituary for my great-grandmother’s sister in my dad’s drawer over the weekend so spent this morning getting her (Susanah Hoffman McQuiston) page and my great-grandmother Nettie Frances Hoffman‘s page up.  Unfortunately, I don’t remember meeting them, but I am glad someone had the forethought to save all of these  obituaries.  Too bad [...]

Great Grandpa James Elgie Beals

Published by Jennifer under Familia

The genealogy project continues… Tonight I’ve been working on the ancestry wiki page for my great grandfather James Elgie Beals.  He died when I was nine years old, yet I don’t remember if I ever met him. The information for this page has come from a combination of photos and clippings from my dad’s drawer [...]

Research, Research, Research…

Published by Jennifer under Familia

Stayed up way to late last night posting stuff.  I have massive amounts of information from my past work that I need to post, and I’ve started to get some pictures and stories in from relatives I’ve been querying. So last night I got my dad’s first wife’s (Theora Frances Alexander) page up, thanks to my [...]

Beals/Hall Genealogy

Published by Jennifer under Familia

I’ve recently jumped back into my genealogy project and have decided to enter all documented findings into a massive ancestry wiki section of this site: Beals/Hall Ancestry. I’m steadily working down my direct line first, and have got the pages for my parents, Larry and Carol Beals, updated as well as the page for Larry’s [...]

Creating a Genealogy Site

Published by Jennifer under Familia

…not blog.  No – a genealogy blog is not in the ‘wurks.’ After I couldn’t find any WordPress genealogy plugins, I started blogging about a line of my family tree in a separate family tree blog that I created.  Then, after only three generations took several painstaking hours of my time to write out, I [...]
