Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Where Were Your Ancestors 150 Years Ago?

Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings, has a wonderful meme called Saturday Night Genealogy Fun. Mostly I get to it on Sunday morning.

My mission is to:

1) Determine where my ancestral families were on 25 June 1866 - 150 years ago.

2) List my ancestors, their family members, their birth and death years, and their residence location (as close as possible). Do you have a photograph of their residence from about that time, and does the residence still exist?

3) Tell all about it in my own blog post, in a comment to this post, or in a Facebook Status or Google+ Stream post.

Well, I created a table with the list of ancestors. The ones shaded in blue are my paternal ancestors and the ones shaded in pink are my maternal ancestors. Interesting that the generations are so different between my maternal vs. paternal. My paternal grandmother was old enough to be the mother of my maternal grandmother.

I have no information about houses these ancestors lived in during 1866. For some, I have addresses but there are no houses there or the roads have changed name. For others, it was on a farm....Someday I may visit the small town in Germany and see if I can find the house.
