Don't overlook Military Pension Records.... My g-g-gfather died during the civil war, leaving a widow and 4 children. Her pension application listed marriage and children, and contained testimony from their parents to certify their presence at the marriage and birth of their children..
True, Gail. I've found several instances where a Revolutionary "widow" claimed pension, and it was the only place I was able to find any proof of marriage whatsoever.
Great tip! Thanks Gail!
I went through BOXES of marriage licenses from the 1960's and 70's, complete with blood test results, that my county courthouse threw away after everything was put on microfiche. An acquaintance found them and I spent several Saturdays just marveling at them. I told the couples that I actually knew where their licenses were and they retrived them. These were couples whose children had gone to school with me!
Wow
@@GenealogyTV what if you were told one thing the 48 yrs later you find out all of that you were told was nothing but total lies to cover a few peoples tracks later down the rd and one of those is suppose to be your mother but you find out she is a fraud in sheeps clothing very narcissistic and devious towards her own child
Connie - I have also found "Land Records / Deeds" that identify a Marriage -
I have found that several of my ancestors went over the state line to get married. I am not sure if Tennessee had different age laws than Kentucky, but I have found several of my ancestor’s records in Tennessee.
My ancestor was a Roaming minister. If you know the name of the officiant, you can search for diaries or journals. Quakers records may be at a distant location than where you live. Quakers have both monthly and weekly meeting minutes.
I love Quaker research. Great records.
Family bibles, wedding photos, letters, reception invitations, inscriptions on jewelry, wills and probate documents...
Ooh. Good stuff. Especially the inscriptions on jewelry. I hadn’t thought of that before.
Local genealogy societies, as well as your state birth, marriage, and death indexes at local public libraries. I have found vital info on several there, like my mother's sister who died before my mother was born. I've even found a "journal" a local busybody kept and the family had published after their death that was very detailed.
The Dutch Reformed Church used Bans too. Great video Connie!
Thank you and for the tip!
A couple of additional things I've commonly found in these kinds of records are indication of previous marriages and/or divorces that I hadn't known about if the license app asked about that, and a legal name vs a nickname unknown to me. Some census years also requested the marriage year or how many years married.
Yes! Great points Paula. I forgot about the previous marriages. I wish I had mentioned that in the video. I too have found some. Thanks for sharing.
I have found evidence of not only previous marriages, but a listing of minor children and their ages. Also the court case number. This was in Hamilton County (Cincinnati) Ohio.
Hello! My name is Knox, too!
I feel like one has to be a hacker just to get some of the basic information for their tree. I would give Ancestery, which is my favourite site a 6/10 when trying to do a basic record search.
This is Nikki anderson I been married for nineteen years
Very helpful!
Thank you
This is off topic, but I don't see a specific video that addresses my problem. So, here goes. I have the "Family History" of a family who came to the colonies in a ship owned by that family. The Family History indicates that my ancestor came to the colonies aboard the same ship as a friend of the family. The name of the ship is the "Augustine." I have looked in all of the ships lists I can find to no avail. From the family history, it seems a member of the family and my ancestor took up a "Land Grant" and by its location, it would seem logical that the Augustine landed in the vicinity of Norfolk and the York River in Virginia. Any help on where else to look would be very much appreciated. I enjoy your videos and have learned more about my family through them than I thought possible.Thank you.
Just for grins and giggles I went over to heritage shipsand looked for your ship Augustine and didn’t see a hit but you might go back and look again. That’s heritageships.com I think. I would also look at some of the colonial societies and seek help from them. The New England genealogical Society, the Virginia state genealogical Society, American ancestors are just a few that come to mind.
Did you think to check out Canadian and New Foundland records Each province would have settlement records from before Confederation.
Any one have a recomendation for Native American genealogyist
With their permission, feel free to post a website and I’ll approve it.
If you know the tribe, some of their headquarters have a genealogy section and also have lists of genealogists providing research for that tribe.
Census??
Yes good point. But not all census clearly states the relationship. So one must be careful.
For the last seven years, I've been trying to erase my marriage from my mind!
I was able to fine 4th great-grandfather parents from a marriage certificate.
what do you do if your dna and your genealogist tells you that woman is your mother but you get info from other sources that say other wise sources you have depended on for more than 35 yrs never had a problem before why would there be on now plus how this woman acts is a strong indicator she is lying ----- what then ???????
I would hire a professional genetic genealogist or two to get two independent opinions. You might also look for other reasons for the DNA match like a bone marrow transplant. DNA doesn’t lie, but triple check your facts and work as hard to disprove and the to prove the evidence.
