This was great info! I have a question about emigration. I'm trying to find my great grandmother returning to Hungary. I find her coming into the US but can't seem to find her going back to her home country. Would I go to the National Archives here in the US? It seems that a lot of Hungarians came to the US to work for awhile and then returned home. Thanks for any help! Kristy
Hey Kristine, NARA might be an option... but check out this page I found of a ton of places to look. www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/Hungary_Emigration_and_Immigration
@@GenealogyTV THANK YOU!!
My then 14 year old German great-grandmother nearly fell overboard in International waters boarding a Dutch (or British?) vessel after being on a German one - WWI had started the day she left. She didn't leave because of the war, she left because she fell in love with a picture of her neighbor's nephew. True Love wouldn't be denied!
Now that was a dangerous voyage!
What a story.
I find the yearbooks to be among the most misidentified in other people's trees (attached to wrong people). Researchers seem to fall prey to the "same name, similar place" syndrome. Then Ancestry associates all the other records of the wrong people. Pet peeve.... Hooray for ancestors with bizarre names!
The example of mortality schedules was really cool! Tx
Btw I've been meaning to comment -- your "Happy Dance" level has the best name of any!
LOL... Well for me, genealogy is a daily happy dance.
Dear Connie,
Thank you so much for mentioning emigration records. The Ancestry card catalogue page shown in your video with Norwegian emigration records helped me find my Dad’s record.
My father emigrated to Canada in 1954. Although he was born in Denmark, he had been living in Norway since 1950, a fact I was not previously aware of but was noted in the record on Ancestry.
Thank you for helping me discover a little bit more about my Dad’s life ❤
You are so welcome! Glad you were able to find more info.
I am having success using the old tax lists in narrowing down when a person enters and leaves a county or dies. I’ve also found a couple of gems in court order books. The ones I’m using now are not indexed so I’m having to browse through them like we used to do with microfilm.
My ancestors sailed around Cape Horn to Hawaii from Madeira. Talk about dangerous and life threatening. There us a record documenting the ships captain crying and praying when they got caught in a bad storm. They made it safely though.
Wow
Wonderful content!! These are amazing resources! Thank you !!
Glad you think so!
I'm always interested in styles other people use to identify people in their tree. I love that Ancestry now has tags, which helps a lot. I see you sometimes put your surnames in ALL-CAPS and sometimes don't. What is your process for deciding between these two styles? I use ALL-CAPS for birth surnames (for both males and females), but am wondering if there are other options. Thank you! ❤️ your channel!!
Thanks. The All caps a holdover from the days when we used to capitalize surnames. I just haven’t gotten around to changing them all. There is no need or strategy behind it.
@@GenealogyTV ah, thank you! 😊
Thank you,
You are welcome!
I'm surprised that they didn't allow Missouri to make claims on the Southern Claims Commision because there was tons of supplies taken or given here.
Interesting.
Perhaps the reason was Missouri was a border state and sent many men to the armies on both sides. Nearly 110,000 men fought for the Union, while about 40,000 served the Confederacy.
I actually hit the jackpot with the Mortality Schedule. I wasn't looking for it, but stumbled upon it. I had heard of it but pretty much considered it a "long shot" record. I mean, what were the odds of someone dying a year before the census.
I was actually trying to see what Family Search has for the state where my 3X great grandfather, Ned, was born bc I had seen discrepancies. So I searched on Ned Wilson and the first record that popped up was for Edward Wilson. I remembered that Ned was a nickname for Edward so I clicked on the record, not even thinking he'd be my person. And voila! There he was with my 3X great grandmother, Eveline. They died 2 months apart in 1879. This was huge for me bc records for Blacks were hard to come by! The only thing I wished was that these schedules have the name of the person who provided the information.
Okay, that's my story for today😊
Nice!
I love your videos and tips! They are great! I am a member and I cannot figure out where the handouts are for one of the videos!! I am helping my genealogy group in our community group and it would be nice to be able to have them. Help
Marco... if you are looking for older handouts, its best to look at the publication date and scroll through the post on the membership tab to find them. Alternatively, you can ask in the comments and I'll repost them on a per request basis.
I found Canadian border crossing records for my grandfather. He was visiting family there.
Where did you find them?
@@GenealogyTV you know, that's a great question. I'll let you know when I remember.
QUESTION: I use both Ancestry and Find My Past. I find different records on both. How do I keep the family tree the same? How do I combine the different information from both trees/websites?
I would pick one tree as your "go to" tree. For me that would be Ancestry. The use weblinks to the other. You can also download those files from Find My Past and upload them to Ancestry. That way everything is in one place.
@@GenealogyTV When you d/l the files and u/l to Ancestry - does it create a new tree or replace the old tree or add to it?
@@traceyholt8223 You don't need to upload a new gedcom, just the image of the record, or as Connie suggests, as a weblink.
I watch all your videos and find them a great help but may I ask a question not about this video? I like watching a lot of crime videos and enjoy when genealogy experts can tell the police about the murderer, down to his eye colour, build, hair colour, etc. My mother was Indian from India, and my father was Scottish. Both my brother and sister looked very Indian but I am the white sheep in the family as I take after my father. So if a genealogist was compiling my genetic make up with my DNA, how would experts know that I was white and not brown like my siblings? Is that fact in my DNA and not in my siblings? I have tried googling this but too hard for Google to answer!
Certain markers on certain chromosomes have been known to give those genetic traits. It could be during the recombination process of creating those chromosomes (at conception) mixed up differently on those specific chromosome locations than DNA of your siblings. This is one of the reasons why we like to test all siblings, because you all have a little bit different DNA... thus we can use the combination to get a larger picture of the DNA of our parents... grandparents and such. Basically, if you have enough siblings, you can recreate the majority of your parents DNA. Right now you have about 50% from each parent. Collectively (all siblings), if you had a lot of siblings you might increase that to around 75%. Sorry, I didn't mean to get in the weeds on your question, but the future of DNA is very exciting.
@@GenealogyTV Thank you so much for replying as I can imagine how busy you must be. I had to read your reply a few times for it to sink in and then, at last, comprehension dawned. You are so right, the future of DNA is going to be amazing. I just wish I was 50 years younger! Thank you again.
You and me both, sister!
Hi, my fiance doesn't know his parent's birthplace. They were both deceased. He lost communication with his siblings. He will be needing that information in fiance visa for me. Is there any way to find out. He can't leave that question blank.
Start with the county registrar in the earliest county he remembers.
@@GenealogyTV Thank you
Find my past: $229 a year.
If children were born abroad (India) to a British father and Indian mother in the early 1900’s would they have been considered British citizens when moving to England with their father in the 1920’s as young men? I can find no record of them on incoming passenger lists on ancestry.
Oh that's a tough one. I'm not sure. You may need to do some Google research on that one.
