Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Which Ancestors Were Born on This Date?

Randy Seaver of Genea-Musing has a new mission for us: 1) Which of your ancestors were born on this day, 31 March? How can you find out? Tell us how you did it. 2) If you don't have an ancestor born on this date, then select another date in March and list those. 3) Share your findings in your own blog post, or in comments on this blog post, on Facebook or Google+. I have no direct ancestors with a 31 March birthdate, but there were quite a few people in my RootsMagic database who were born on this date. I left off those who are still alive. My Husband's Line Elizabeth Bishop was born in 1769 to Heinrich Bischof and Catherine Schreyer and the sister to  Norman's direct ancestor, Frederick Bishop. She was likely born in Pennsylvania or Maryland. She was his third great grandaunt. Carolina Samuelsdotter was born in 1826 in Tidersrum, Ă–stergötland län, Sweden to Samuel Persson and Maja Stina Jonasdotter. She was the sister of Norman'...

K is for Ann Kethley

I am participating in the Blogging from A to Z Challenge (April 2016) , where we write 26 blog posts featuring each letter of the alphabet. K is for Ann Kethley                                    I have quite a few “K” surnames in my database, but the only direct ancestors are of the Kethley/Keathley/Keithly line. Nancy Ann Kethley married John Coor around 1816, probably in Mississippi. John Coor died in 1838 but Ann lived past 1870. Seven known children were born to them: John W. Coor (1816-1896) Daniel K. Coor (1819-1895) Elizabeth N. Coor Heard (1823-??) Rufus K. Coor (1825-1877) Ann Jemima Coor Welch (1828-1902) Sarah K. Coor (1832-??) James Madison “Matt” Coor (1833-1890) My research for the Kethley line consists mostly of derivative sources. When I first began this journey of genealogical research, online sources were mostly surname and locality messa...

Surname Saturday Meme -- Names, Places & Most Wanted Faces
