One bit of feedback I received (Thanks, Kay!) was a reminder that there are some links in the DNA Connections section that I didn't cover.<br />
<br />
In my previous post, I showed you how, once someone has included test information on their profile, that test information is also listed on the profiles of everyone with whom they might share a genetic connection. Depending on whether the profile is for the person who was tested, or was for someone connected to them, that section will be titled DNA Tested or DNA Connections, but the information found in that section is the same.<br />

I'd like to give you a closer look at the information and links in the DNA Tested or DNA Connections section, but before I do that, I need to point out that, so far, all my examples have focused on autosomal testing results. The reason for that is that I have only taken an autosomal test.<br />
<h4>
How Dna Results Are Listed on Profiles</h4>
Let's take a quick glance at what you'll see about DNA on profiles with different types of DNA testing.<br />
<br />
If someone has had no DNA testing (or at least, no testing supported by WikiTree) and no one with whom they are likely to share DNA has had such a test, their profile will say so:<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Figure 2: DNA — No Tests</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Someone who has had yDNA, mtDNA, and autosomal tests, or who shares DNA with relatives who have had these tests will have all of these listed:<br />

<h4>
Anonymous Profiles</h4>
WikiTree offers it's members various levels of privacy for themselves and the profiles they manage. Some members choose to keep specific profiles, especially those for living people, private, while others will choose to have a public biography, a public family tree, or both. (For a more complete description of WikiTree's privacy rules, see <a href="https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Privacy" target="_blank">Help: Privacy</a> and <a href="https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Living_People" target="_blank">Help: Living People</a>.)<br />
<br />
You will, as you are exploring your DNA connections on WikiTree, almost certainly encounter folks who have profiles on WikiTree and have entered their DNA tests, but who keep their profiles or family trees private. If that's the case, you may see a message telling you that the results are privacy protected:<br />

When this happens, you can contact the profile manager to introduce yourself and open a discussion about your connection. Often, a profile manager will agree to make their family tree public, even if they prefer to keep their profile private.<br />
<br />
You can find the profile manager in the yellow and green box beneath the vitals section.<br />

I hope this helps you get started in understanding how to use WikiTree to enhance your genetic genealogy. Any thoughts on what you'd like to see for Part 3 will be welcome.<br />

<b>ETA:</b> Added Figure 6, along with intro text. Sorry it wasn't available in the first draft, but I was having a hard time finding anyone with privacy protected DNA test details and connections. That's a good thing!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07237626810464426460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817242415204081856.post-33942797277225198172017-06-24T12:57:00.000-07:002017-06-25T13:30:58.019-07:00WikiTree for Genetic Genealogy, Part 1I've been a WikiTree member since May 2013. During that time, the collaborative genealogy website has grown immensely. I'm not sure how many people were involved when I first joined, but today there are 433,449 genealogists managing 14,443,459 profiles for ancestors around the world.<br />
<br />
Almost everyone involved with WikiTree is a volunteer. The site is free and promises to stay that way. Although the display and entry features could be considered a bit bare bones, it offers tremendous flexibility and the site is in the process of becoming a true genealogy powerhouse.<br />
<br />
The WikiTree <a href="https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Special:Honor_Code" target="_blank">Honor Code</a> asks that genealogists using the site follow a set of principles that honor: collaboration, accuracy (list your sources!), privacy, and respect for others. We constantly remind each other of the need for sources and accuracy. This emphasis on accuracy, supported by sources, will, we hope, make WikiTree the most accurate single-family tree available.<br />
<br />
One way in which WikiTree is doing this is by offering a very different set of tools for folks who are using DNA to enhance their genealogy efforts. If you've gotten DNA tested, then you know that once your test results are complete, you get a list of matches and some numbers showing the approximate distance of your connection, but it can be really hard to figure out the exact links in that connection.<br />
<br />
This is where WikiTree can be really useful. Adding your test IDs to your profile on WikiTree, and creating profiles for your ancestors and other relatives, can help you to discover distant cousins and to determine your MRCA (Most Recent Common Ancestor).<br />
<br />
Before I go any further, I think I should mention that WikiTree does not do any genetic testing, nor do they post or share your test results. They come at this from the opposite direction. Who are your ancestors and which are likely to have contributed to your DNA?<br />
<br />
The WikiTree method is an unusual and complementary approach to genetic genealogy, unlike the approach found on genetic genealogy testing sites. When someone enters their test IDs, WikiTree connects those tests to the profiles of other relatives who are in their direct line. This can be a big help in identifying the path between you and your family members. Here are the tests shown on my WikiTree profile, now.<br />

I've been able to confirm my connection to all of the people listed here. I did this through a combination of genetic genealogy, comparing my tests to theirs, and by traditional genealogy, discovering the paper trail (albeit through the use of online records, by and large). I also added the genetic test results to each of the profiles on WikiTree, recording my findings in support of our connections.</div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">What does all of this do for me?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, besides helping me to confirm my relationships, it also means that people who share any of my ancestors as relatives will be able to learn about their connection to me, and I to them. Connecting to cousins is a big goal for me, and I hope it is for you, too!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Right now, I know of 125 descendents of Alpheus and Ella, but they had seven children, six of whom lived to adulthood, and I haven't traced all those lines down to find all of my possible living relatives.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, consider that Alpheus and Ella are just two of my eight great grandparents, and that this process works for more distant relatives, as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also, so far, I've only been working with autosomal DNA. One of my known relatives has had his Y-DNA tested, and I plan on upgrading my dad's DNA test to a Y-DNA test in the near future. I know that one of my paternal first cousins recently tested, so his results will contribute to the findings, as well. Since Y-DNA is useful much farther back than autosomal DNA, this means the potential pool of relatives will grow very quickly, and the likelihood of finding them on WikiTree will go up, too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let's look at Figure 1, again. Tests I entered on my profile connect to Judy, me, my father, and a first cousin once removed. In this case, we all knew about each other before we put the information up on WikiTree (although it was through our online genealogy that I connected with Judy and John, or perhaps I should say that Judy connected herself and John with me), but if someone I don't know about who is in my direct line tests and shares that information, their name and information about where they tested will show up, making it easier for me to connect with them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also, those tests populate to all of my direct line ancestors. Here's what's shown on my paternal grandfather's page.</span><br />

I've covered a lot about how WikiTree can help expand your understanding of your genetic genealogy in this post. There's lots more, and I'm still learning about this, so I plan on discussing more of WikiTree's tools for DNA in future posts. I hope you've enjoyed this post and will join me for those future posts, as well.</div>

I'm really loving this class. I've tried online classes before and generally been dissatisfied with them, but this class is formatted extremely well and the instructor is excellent. I especially like that, while there are a few short video segments, the class doesn't depend upon extensive or long video lectures, and there's always the option of reading a transcript instead of listening to the videos.<br />
<br />
One of this week's exercises was to record a snippet about an issue with surnames in your family, and since this was in the context of the possible differences in surname pronunciation, that was what I chose as my topic.<br />
<br />
I've recorded my interpretation of the pronunciation of two different surnames in my family on <a href="http://vocaroo.com/" target="_blank">Vocaroo</a>: McKeown and McEwen. I've always thought they would represent similar sounding names, but on overhearing my first attempt at recording my thoughts, my husband offered a different pronunciation for the first spelling. You can listen to my recording below or go directly to <a href="http://vocaroo.com/i/s0unK6jqueKy">http://vocaroo.com/i/s0unK6jqueKy</a> - fair warning, the recording seems loud to me, so be ready to adjust your volume if need be.<br />

Trying to Figure Out Which DNA Test to Buy?One of my cousins (not a first cousin) and I recently got our DNA tested. She got hers done through Ancestry, and I got mine through FamilyTreeDNA (FTDNA). Then, she transferred her results to FTDNA, so we could use their tools to compare and collaborate on finding more cousins.We've been thrilled by the results.<br />
<br />
First off, I was really excited to see that our results confirmed our relationship. She gave me a funny look (metaphorically speaking, since this was via email) and asked, "Did you have any doubts?" Well, as a genealogist, I've learned not to take relationships for granted. By which I mean, while I was pretty sure that our parents and other ancestors were who we believed they were, I've read too many accounts of genetic results that turned up evidence to the contrary of the paperwork. So, now I have incontrovertible evidence that, for at least this section of my family tree, I've got the right people in the right relationships, no hanky panky involved.<br />
<br />
Secondly, we've started finding our mutual cousins. So far, FTDNA has provided us with a list of 24. That's right. We have <i><b>twenty-four mutual cousins</b></i> that neither of us had even an inkling of before we started! Plus, some of those cousins have additional relationships to each other. Which is probably pretty normal, when you think about it, but it's still very cool to see all of this on the screen. So, screenshot time!<br />

What I really love about this is seeing those two pairs of matches in the middle. Excellent!<br />
<br />
But, all that's not really the point of this post.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, as we were discussing which of the many new relatives turned up by our DNA results who are related to both of us, she said the following: "I'm going to ask Uncle John if he will do a DNA test. Do you have a feel for which test would be best?"<br />
<br />
My immediate response, which never made it into my actual response, was, "Not a clue. Except it should include yDNA."<br />
<br />
But, after that, I started thinking. And researching. Because I really can't help myself when someone asks a questions like that. And, once I'd sent it, I realized there was some useful and timely information that might help other people thinking about DNA testing.<br />
<br />
Here's the response she actually received (with a few minor details changed to protect personal information about living family members, as well as a bit of touching up to fill in details I skipped):<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div dir="ltr">
I've been drooling over the sales going on at <a href="https://www.familytreedna.com/products.aspx" target="_blank">FTDNA</a>
(there is also a bonus for current members, mine was only an extra $5
off; I don't know if they are offering bonuses to transfers), wishing my
dad would agree to a test. Who knows, maybe he will. The last time we spoke about it, he wasn't interested, but maybe all the connections you and I
have been discussing will be enough to convince him that it will provide valuable information.</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
As to which test you might choose, there are a range of
possible tests that might be appropriate. It all depends on your goals

<div dir="ltr">
<a href="http://dna.ancestry.com/" target="_blank">Ancestry</a>'s test

else that offers genealogy genetic testing is offering. But, the base
cost is higher, they don't seem to be offering a sale, and I don't know
how effectively they connect cousins.</div>
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
FTDNA has a wide range of tests, not just the autosomal, but also
yDNA and mtDNA, and even those they offer in varying degrees, depending
on how in-depth you want the test and how deep your pockets are.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />

</div>
FTDNA offers three levels of yDNA tests: y37, which
checks 37 markers on the Y chromosome; y67, which checks 67; and y111,
which checks 111. The y37 allows one to confirm "close relationships."
If I'm reading them right, <a href="https://www.igenea.com/en/faq#38" target="_blank">iGenea</a>
(yet another company selling DNA tests, but one I know nothing about)
suggests a 37-marker test provides information that goes back 3 to 7
generations. FTDNA makes a claim of up to 340,000 years, which I think
applies to the y111 test.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
On the other hand, I just found a <a href="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/d-brief/2014/05/02/dna-test-can-trace-your-ancestral-origins-back-1000-years/" target="_blank">Discover magazine article</a> (from May 2014) that references a new test from <a href="http://prosapiagenetics.com/index.php" target="_blank">Prosapia Genetics</a>
that only costs $135, but goes back 1000 years to pinpoint a (only
one?!) location for one's "ancestral home." ($100 gets you the basic test; $35 gets you the location detail.) Since the number of
ancestors at the 1000 year mark would be huge, this feels a bit gimmicky
to me, but also fun.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
If my dad agreed to a test, I would
definitely ask that he get a yDNA test, so I could confirm our
patrilineal line; there are a few questions I have about which John Lloyd back in the 1700s is the right John Lloyd. But, what I'd be wishing for, and what I know I've
only got a snowball's chance in Hell of getting, would be a truly
comprehensive test: autosomal, y111 (the most in-depth yDNA test), and a
full-sequence mtDNA test. Even FTDNA's "Comprehensive Genome" test
doesn't quite meet my gold standard because it only offers the y67. Oh,
and for good measure, I'd like to throw in the Prosapia test.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
* Given how much I say in this message, I figured it would be good to point out where I actually answer your question. :D</blockquote>
<br />
Well, I hope you'll find this information interesting. The holiday sales will be over in very short order, so that part of the information will be out of date very quickly. But, the part about figuring out which tests are most useful for an elderly male relative should be useful at any time.<br />
<br />
By the way, neither I nor any of my family members (at least none I'm in contact with at the moment) are employed by any genetic testing firm, nor do I receive any funds for mentioning any of these companies. We paid for our testing, and my opinions are entirely my own.

I am reblogging the biography here.<br />
<br />
<hr align="center" width="25%" />
<br />
Galen Weiker Rote was born on March 7, 1888, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rote-6" title="Rote-6">Alpheus Rote</a> and <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ward-8183" title="Ward-8183">Ella E. Ward</a>. He had two brothers and three sisters: <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rote-13" title="Rote-13">Mabel</a> (or Mable), <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rote-10" title="Rote-10">John</a>, <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rote-9" title="Rote-9">Emma</a>, <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rote-12" title="Rote-12">Howard</a>, and <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rote-11" title="Rote-11">Minnie</a>. Mabel was the oldest, and Galen was the oldest son, with all the other children younger.<br />
<br />
The 1900 U.S. Federal Census documents that Galen, age 12, was
living with his family New Castle, Pennsylvania, where his father's
occupation is listed as "Heater tin mill." In 1910, they were still
living in New Castle, but his father had been out of work for 5 weeks
and his occupation was listed as "odd jobs."<sup class="reference" id="_ref-0"><a href="http://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Rote-4&public=1#_note-0" title="">[1]</a></sup>
<br />
<br />
On 29 August 1911, Galen and Lulu P. Craun, a resident of Toledo,
Ohio, obtained a marriage license and certificate in Lucas County,
Ohio. It seems likely that the couple were married that day at the
courthouse, as both license and certificate had the same date.
<br />
<br />
On 7 June 1917, Galen signed up for the WWI draft. According to
the information he supplied, Galen, now age 29, lived at 525 Locust,
Toledo, OH. He had been born in Harrisburg, Pa., USA, was married, and
his wife's maiden name was Craun; he was of medium height and build, and
had blue eyes and brown hair. Galen lists his trade or occupation as
"Show Business." His employer's name is a bit hard to make out, but
might be Forenze or Torunze; there are two figures preceding the entry
in the blank which might be initials (possibly J.S.), but which also
might be the numerals 28. The final line was difficult to decipher, but I
think it might be "Peerless Mus Co. Det Mich" (Peerless Music Co.,
Detroit, Mich.), which may have been a branch of the Peerless Film
Corporation, which in 1917 was located at 153 East Jefferson in Detroit,
Michigan, as referenced in the photo and associated comments: <a class="external free" href="http://www.shorpy.com/node/10983" title="http://www.shorpy.com/node/10983">http://www.shorpy.com/node/10983</a>
<br />
<br />
I have found no evidence of military service for Galen, nor have I found evidence that he did not serve.
<br />
<br />
The 1919 city directory for Galen and Lulu shows the couple
living in Toledo, Ohio; Galen's occupation was listed as brakeman. That
same year, on August 24, Lulu was to give birth to the couple's first
child, a girl, <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rote-16" title="Rote-16">Marian Virginia Rote</a> in Sandusky, Ohio. Not quite two years later, on July 2, 1921, their second daughter, <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Rote-3" title="Rote-3">Luella Jean Rote</a>, was born, also in Sandusky.
<br />
<br />
On 14 August, 1928, just ten days before her 9th birthday, Marian
died of bronchial pneumonia. Galen was devastated, as were his wife and
remaining daughter. He morned the child he'd called his "shadow," to
the detriment of his family life. According to Luella her parents
separated for a time following her sister's death and she and her mother
lived in impoverished circumstances as a result. The separation cannot
have been for long, however, given the documentary evidence of the
family living together as described in the following paragraph.
<br />
<br />
I have not found an entry in the 1920 U.S. Federal Census for the
family, but this is most likely due to an issue with indexing, as they
are still in Sandusky in 1930 and 1940, and Luella described growing up
in Sandusky in personal conversations with me, as well as in a diary she
wrote when she was 14. Galen and Lulu can also be found in multiple
Sandusky city directories, including those for the years 1923, '32, and
'35. In 1923, Galen was listed as a brakeman, no occupation was listed
for 1932, and in 1935 he was listed as a salesman. The 1940 U.S. Federal
Census lists his occupation as a bartender at the Central Labor Hall.
<br />
Various family members have also reported to me that Galen worked
at Cedar Point, either in concession stands (which is what Luella
remembered), or running a roulette wheel (according to more distant
relatives).<br />
<br />
Luella spoke of going to the amusement park with him, where
she would ride the roller coasters, which she loved, for free. She was
thrilled to have the chance to ride as many times as she wished, and the
park was happy to have a shill to draw customers to the ride.
<br />
<br />
Galen died 10 August 1941 in Sandusky, Ohio. The New Castle News
(New Castle, Pennsylvania) provided the following obituary on 11 August
1941:
<br />
<blockquote>
Galen W. Rote, aged 53, died Sunday evening at 7 o'clock at his home,
303 East Washington street, Sandusky, O.
He leaves his wife, Lulu Craun Rote; a daughter, Luella Jeane [sic]; two
brothers John and Howard Rote, both of this city, and a sister, Mrs.
Emma Cavender of 205 North Mercer street, this city.
Funeral services will be conducted Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock in
Sandusky. Interment will be in a Toledo, O. cemetery.
</blockquote>
The story, as it was told to me by Luella, is far more dramatic than
this simple obituary suggests. Her father, Galen, had applied for a job
and was given a medical exam as part of the requirements for the
position. The physician determined that he had high blood pressure and
prescribed arsenic. This was actually an accepted drug for the condition
at that time, but the amount prescribed was 10 times greater than the
theraputic dose. Galen even questioned the dose, but the physician
refused to consider the possibility that he'd made a mistake, so Galen
went ahead and took the medication, only to die of arsenic poisoning.
Luella, a first year college student at the time, was furious with her
mother for not suing for malpractice.

My last post was back in May, when I posted <a href="http://search4rootsandbranches.blogspot.com/2014/05/update-shorter-connection-to-aj-jacobs.html" target="_blank">Update: Shorter Connection to A.J. Jacobs and the Global Family Reunion</a>. In that post, I shared the news that <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:Connection&action=connect&person1Name=Jacobs-2987" target="_blank">WikiTree's Connection to AJ tool</a> had determined that there are 31 steps (aka, degrees of separation) between us.<br />
<br />
Well, the path just keeps getting shorter, as more and more work is done on the global family trees at Geni.com and WikiTree. Yesterday, I added the following section to <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lloyd-391" target="_blank">my biography on WikiTree</a>:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
According to WikiTree, I am 28 steps away from AJ. Here's the path, as reported by WikiTree's Connection to AJ tool:
</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
AJ Jacobs and Pamela Lloyd have 28 degrees of separation:<br />
<br />
AJ Jacobs -> Ellen Kheel (his mother) -> Jane Kheel (her sister) -> John Stanley (her husband) -> Everett Stanley (his father) -> Grace Garrett (his mother) -> Sophia Thompson (her mother) -> Greenbury Thompson (her father) -> Chloe Redman (his mother) -> Nancy Redman (her sister) -> Lloyd Benton Prather (her husband) -> Basil Prather (his father) -> Aaron Prather (his father) -> Martha Sprigg (his mother) -> Sarah Sprigg (her sister) -> Katherine Graves (her mother) -> Thomas Graves (her brother) -> Thomas Graves (his son) -> Robert Graves (his son) -> James Graves (his son) -> William Graves (his son) -> Middleton Graves (his son) -> Matilda Herrington (his wife) -> Isaac Herrington (her father) -> John A Herrington (his brother) -> Isaac Newton Herrington (his son) -> Inez Minerva Herrington (his daughter) -> Winston Lloyd (her son) -> Pamela Lloyd (his daughter) </blockquote>
<br />
According to Geni.com, I am only 23 steps away from AJ (just count the arrows in the following path). Here's the path, based on Geni's calculations:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Arnold Stephen Jacobs, Jr. is Pamela D Lloyd's first cousin 6 times removed's wife's uncle's wife's fifth great nephew's ex-wife's nephew!<br />
<br />
Pamela D Lloyd (Me) -> Winston Dale Lloyd (my father) -> Elmer Bruce Lloyd (his father) -> Samuel Hughes Lloyd (his father) -> Ellen Hughes (his mother) -> Joel Hughes (her father) -> Eleanor Lee (his mother) -> Eleanor Ellis (her mother) -> Mordecai Ellis, Sr. (her brother) -> Nehemiah Ellis (his son) -> Sarah Thornburgh (his wife) -> Benjamin Eli Thornburgh (her father) -> Thomas Thornburgh (his brother) -> Martha Stanley (his wife) -> Micajah Stanley (her brother) -> Mahlon Stanley (his son) -> John Stanley (his son) -> Wyatt Stanley (his son) -> John Richard Stanley (his son) -> Everett Edward Stanley (his son) -> <private> Stanley (his son) -> <private> Kheel (his ex-wife) -> Ellen Jacobs (her sister) -> Arnold Stephen Jacobs, Jr. (her son)</blockquote>
<br />
You'll have noticed that the two connection finders start from different directions. WikiTree's starts with AJ and works it's way to me, while Geni's starts with me and works it's way to AJ. One thing I find interesting is that one path goes through my mother's father, and the the other through his mother. <br />
<br />
Almost all my connections to random people (that is, people with any fame or notoriety) are through my father. I simply haven't got enough information about my mother's family.</blockquote>

The usual meeting place is in a room in the Medical College at UMC, and I learned recently that there is often an informal gathering in the UMC hospital cafeteria. I started by showing up for that, which was fun.<br />
<br />
Typically, there are two topics for each meeting, and today's was no exception. The first topic was "Death Customs: Mourning and Morbid Mementos," presented by PCGS President Amy Ulman. The second was a presentation by PCGS Secretary Leslie Carney, on "Family & Taxes, Oh My!"<br />
<br />
<h3>
"Death Customs: Mourning and Morbid Mementos"</h3>
Since I read a lot and a moderate slice of my reading has involved historical contexts, I've been familiar with some aspects of mourning customs, such as keeping a lock of hair (which many consider a morbid memento), sometimes braided, as a keepsake. Plus, as an <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/redpoulaine" target="_blank">Etsy seller</a> who deals in vintage postcards, I've become much more familiar with <a href="https://www.etsy.com/search?q=mourning%20ring" target="_blank">mourning rings</a> and other <a href="https://www.etsy.com/search?q=mourning%20jewelry" target="_blank">jewelry</a>, especially from the Victorian era, when the interest in such things was super-charged by Queen Victoria's long-term mourning following the death of her beloved husband, Prince Albert.<br />
<br />
Queen Victoria also engaged in and popularized a related morbid memento practice by wearing jewelry made from the baby teeth of her children. This practice was also associated with mourning, and many people had jewelry made from a tooth or teeth of their dead children and other loved ones.<br />
<br />
The tradition of morbid mementos and mourning jewelry, which Amy Ulman told us extends back at least as far as the 1500s, is one which continues today. It's now possible to have an <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=diamond+mourning+ring+made+from+ashes" target="_blank">artificial diamond made from the ashes of a loved one, even a pet</a>, and to have this set into a ring or other piece of jewelry.<br />
<br />
<b>Note </b>Amy didn't tell us this, but I don't assume that all jewelry
made from hair or teeth is mourning jewelry. While much of it is and I
was unable to find anything about this online, if one credits romance,
fantasy, and historical novelists with doing their research (something
that can't always be assumed, but which is true for many), such pieces
were often made as keepsakes even while someone was still alive. For
example, when lovers had to part for a time, one or both might share a
lock of hair, sometimes elaborately braided, as a remembrance and a
promise that they would be together again. In such stories, the braiding
is generally credited as having been performed by a young woman on her
own hair, so that her efforts contributed to the meaning of the gift.<br />

<h3>
"Family & Taxes, Oh My!"</h3>
I'll admit it. I haven't worked much with tax records. I suspect that's because tax season is, well, ... let's just say it's not my favorite time of year.<br />
<br />
But, after Leslie's excellent session on tax records, they may just become my new favorite type of record.<br />
<h4>
Tax Records Start Early</h4>
Tax records in the United States, she told us, pre-date census records. In fact, they date back to 1646 in some parts of the country.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Tax Records Can Help You Estimate Date of Birth</h4>
Also, surprisingly, they can be used, fairly accurately, to estimate date of birth, because historically (sorry, I didn't catch an exact time and place) some kinds of taxes were applied to every man age 21 and up, and since lying to the tax collector about your age was a punishable offense, while fudging a bit on the census carried no penalty, you can pretty much figure out how old a guy was by when he started paying taxes.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Tax Records Provide Evidence of Changes in Circumstances</h4>
Tax records were compiled on a regular basis. While this was often annual, some types of taxes were collected every 6 months, or even every month. So, if your ancestor fell on hard times, or a sudden increase in business, the tax records will show a timely response. Plus, if your ancestor moved, tax records may help you pin point just when that happened.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Tax Records Help Document Lifestyle</h4>
Want to get a better picture of what kind of life your ancestors lived? Property tax records included an inventory of taxable items, which included some items that seem rather surprising today. For example, in some times and places, fireplaces, clocks, or glass windows might have been taxed.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Tax Records Identify Occupation and Business Ownership</h4>
It makes sense that business owners would face business taxes, but some kinds of professions also had special taxes.<br />
<br />

<br />
There was a lot more, but it's late and I'm tired. So, I'm going to finish up by sharing something completely unrelated to the meeting. By way of a completely non-genealogical post, I stumbled across this cool video explaining cousin relationships. Enjoy!<br />

Rote, Lancaster, PennsylvaniaAt this time, I do not know what connection, if any, Charles V. Rote of Lancaster, Pennsylvania had to my family. However, as there were a number of Rotes living in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area, many of them descendants of Alpheus Rote, and possibly of his siblings, it seems quite possible that he was a relative.<br />
<br />
Regardless of the specifics of his connection, in honor of my relatives, and those of my husband, who worked for the railroads, especially those who worked as brakemen, I am sharing this patent listing for a better brake.<br />
<br />
On page 674 of Official Gazette of the United States Patent Office, Volume 160, available as a free book on <a href="http://play.google.com/">Google Books</a>, is an entry for a patent on a railway car brake, filed with the United States Patent Office on July 25, 1910. The patent was filed by Charles V. Rote, with assignor Maggie P. Holman, both of Lancaster, Pennsylvania:

975,893 CAR-BRAKE. Charles V. Rote, Lancaster, Pa., assignor to Maggie P. Holman, Lancaster, Pa. Filed July 25, 1910. Serial No. 573,656.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
1. In a car brake the combination of a track-brake suspended above and adapted to be lowered upon the rail, a brake-applying device and a take-up device, both movable with the track brake whereby they maintain a relation at each application of the brake, and means for locking said take-up device in a substantially fixed position when the track-brake is on the rail, said brake applying device exerting pressure upon the track-brake and having its reaction taken by said take-up device.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
2. In a car-brake, the combination of a track-brake supported above and adapted to be lowered to the rail, a wear-compensator or take-up device movable with the track-brace to maintain a constant relation thereto, means for locking said take-up device in a substantially fixed position when the track-brake is on the rail, and a brake-lever mounted upon the track-brake and having a projection taking under said take-up device, said brake-lever being operable to bear down upon the track-brake.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
3. In a car-brake, the combination of a track-brake supported above and adapted to be lowered to the rail, a wear-compensator or take up device movable with said track-brake, means for locking said take-up device in lowered position, and a leg-formed brake-lever supported upon the track-brake and having a foot-portion or toe adapted to engage under said take-up device, said brake-lever being operable so that its heel portion bears the track-brake.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
4. In a car-brake, the combination of a track-brake, and brake-actuating mechanism including a pressure applying device and a wear-compensator, said pressure-applying device bearing upon the track-brake and having opposed pressure taken by said wear-compensator, the latter being automatically adjustable in proportion to the increased distance the brake-shoe has to travel to the rail as it wears away.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
5. In a car-brake, the combination of a track-brake and a brake-actuating mechanism including a pressure-applying device and a wear-compensator, said pressure-applying device bearing upon the track-brake and under said wear-compensator, the latter being automatically adjustable in proportion to the increased distance the brake-shoe has to descend as it wears away.</blockquote>

Brake shoe mechanism, 1,250,513 to 1,250,515 inclusive — Charles V. Rote, Lancaster, Pa., assignor to C.V. Rote Brake Shoe Co., Lancaster, Pa.</blockquote>
These two entries provide evidence that Charles V. Rote was living in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in the years 1910 and 1917, that he was an inventor, that he was associated with one Maggie P. Holman, and that he owned or was associated with a company called C.V. Rote Brake Shoe Co. located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania in 1917.<br />
<br />
If Charles V. Rote is your relative, or if you have any more information about him or his family, I'd love to hear from you.

One of these is my paternal grandfather's biography, which is almost complete. Since he was a veteran of two world wars, I thought Memorial Day would
be an appropriate time to share, even though I've still got several
source citations to complete.

<br />
The first connection route between us, calculated by <a href="http://geni.com/" target="_blank">Geni</a>, showed 200 degrees of separation, with some Greek gods and goddesses along the way. Humorous, and A.J. and I were willing to accept it as showing a connection between us (mostly because we already recognize that as human beings, there <i>is </i>a connection, even if unknown), but we now have a much more satisfactory connection route, this time courtesy of <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/">WikiTree</a>'s <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Global_Family_Reunion">Global Family Reunion project</a>.<br />

Although the offerings are not as comprehensive as most paid sites, it just so happens that one of the collections is for Erie County, specifically for the Digital Archives of the Huron Public Library. One of the newspapers in the collection is the Erie County Reporter, which was published in Huron, Ohio.
My mother and her older sister were both born in Sandusky, a small town in Erie County, on the shores of Lake Michigan, so I thought that looking for something related to their childhood might be good for a trial run.<br />
<br />
According to Larry Parker, who is the person who alerted Eastman of the archives, the search feature doesn't work well for the newspapers, so I decided to browse through an issue. I chose the August 28, 1919 edition because it was the first edition (the newspaper was a weekly) immediately following the birth of my mother's sister, Marion Virginia Rote, who was born the 24th of that month.
So far, I haven't found an announcement of Marion's birth, but I did find a short article on page 5 that I feel fits the spirit of Memorial Day very well:<br />

Here's the text the transcript (with one misspelled word corrected):<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Soldiers to Receive Naturalization Free"<br />
<br />
No soldier of foreign birth who served in the U. S. armies during the world war need pay a fee for naturalization, according to instructions [received] by Clerk of Court Carroll. It is not necessary for him to obtain a declaration of intention, or certificate of arrival, if he presents his discharge.</blockquote>
<br />
What a wonderful and appropriate celebration of veterans, to ensure that all who served, regardless of their country of birth or the status of any immigration paperwork, had the opportunity to be citizens of the United States for which they had offered their lives and service, without question and without paying any monetary fees.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07237626810464426460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817242415204081856.post-26742898476995793362014-05-03T07:27:00.000-07:002014-05-03T07:27:04.500-07:00Cousin A.J.'s Relationship to MeOkay, I'll admit it. I was just a bit disappointed when <a href="http://www.geni.com/" target="_blank">Geni</a>'s relationship calculator couldn't find a connection between me and A.J. Luckily, however, it worked from A.J.'s end, so I now know that he is (in a fuzzy, I don't claim there are any valid genealogical proofs, way) my 87th cousin 24 times removed.<br />
<br />
The short path includes myself, my father, 197 relatives, A.J.'s mother, and A.J.<br />
<br />
The long path… well, as A.J. put it, "it goes so far back that I'm not sure it's 100 percent trustworthy. I'm sure there's a cleaner and shorter route." A.J., I discover, has a knack for understatement. But, he's ready to call me cousin and I am now officially invited to the <a href="http://ajjacobs.com/global-family-reunion/" target="_blank">Global Family Reunion</a>.<br />
<br />
For your amusement—for this surely tickles me!—I present the long path below the cut:<br />

A. J. Jacobs, "editor at large at Esquire magazine and author of four New York Times bestsellers" according to <a href="http://ajjacobs.com/global-family-reunion/" target="_blank">his website</a>, is hosting what he hopes will be the world's biggest family reunion. News of his upcoming party has been shared widely, with notices on the <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/blog/genealogists-needed/" target="_blank">WikiTree</a>, <a href="http://www.geni.com/blog/webinar-the-biggest-family-reunion-ever-youre-invited-384195.html" target="_blank">Geni</a>, and <a href="http://blog.myheritage.com/2014/02/join-the-worlds-largest-family-reunion/" target="_blank">My Heritage</a> blogs, and in the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/01/opinion/sunday/are-you-my-cousin.html" target="_blank">New York Times</a>. Jacobs has also been a guest on Boston's NPR program On Point, for <a href="http://onpoint.wbur.org/2014/02/13/genealogy-family-tree-cousins" target="_blank">a discussion of "Crowdsourcing And The New Genealogy Boom."</a></div>

I looked him up on <a href="http://www.geni.com/home" target="_blank">Geni</a>, to see what our connection is, but that was a bust. Geni just couldn't find the connection. Which is strange, because I know there is one, as explained in the email I just sent to A.J.: </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div>
Hi A.J.,</div>
Although Geni tells me it can't find a path between us, I know there has to be one. Here's why:</blockquote>
</div>
<blockquote>
You
say that Albert Einstein is your second great-uncle’s third cousin’s
wife’s first cousin. Well, Geni reports that he's my 6th great aunt's
brother's wife's fourth great niece's husband's aunt's husband's great
grandson. This is a distant, some might even say tenuous, connection,
but it is a connection none-the-less.</blockquote>
</div>
<blockquote>
I'm on Geni at <a href="http://www.geni.com/people/Pamela-D-Lloyd/6000000007818456107">http://www.geni.com/people/Pamela-D-Lloyd/6000000007818456107</a>. I'm also on WikiTree at <a href="http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lloyd-1428">http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lloyd-1428</a>, but my ancestry is much less developed there, mostly because the entry process is much more time-consuming.</blockquote>
</div>
<blockquote>
Your website requests that I submit the names of my four great grandparents. My paternal grandparents are <a href="http://www.geni.com/people/Elmer-Lloyd/6000000007819351317">Elmer Bruce Lloyd </a>and <a href="http://www.geni.com/people/Inez-Lloyd/6000000007819399552">Inez Minerva "Sissy" Herrington</a>. My maternal grandparents are <a href="http://www.geni.com/people/Galen-Rote/6000000007819024087">Galen Weiker Rote</a> and <a href="http://www.geni.com/people/Lulu-Rote/6000000008168031459">Lulu P. Craun</a>.</blockquote>
</div>
<blockquote>
My Lloyd lineage goes directly back to <a href="http://www.geni.com/people/Thomas-Lloyd-Governor-of-PA/6000000008168031690">Thomas Lloyd</a>, my 8th great grandfather, who served for a time as lieutenant governor of provincial Pennsylvania under William Penn.</blockquote>
</div>
<blockquote>
I
hope I've provided you with sufficient information for you to discover
our connection. I'm sure there is one, since I hold to the firm
conviction that all humans on the planet are related and it's only
through a lack of knowledge of the connections that we don't all call
each other cousin.</blockquote>
</div>
<blockquote>
Best wishes,</blockquote>
</div>
<blockquote>
Pamela D. Lloyd</blockquote>
<br />
What I didn't tell A. J. is that I'm unlikely to attend in person. Not only would travel to the party pinch my pocketbook, but I really don't like big crowds. But, that's okay because I can attend virtually, via a Google Hangout.<br />

<div>
Although I'm little more than a newbie on the site, I've been invited to participate on the WikiTree blog in two ways: an interview about my genealogy experience, and a blog post. You can find these posts at:</div>

WikiTree has been tremendously welcoming and a great way to meet other genealogists. Plus, because it's run collaboratively by genealogists, for genealogists, it's free and promises to stay that way.</div>

But, tonight, I'd like to share a bit of the present. For the last couple of years, I've been making calendars to help my stepson Fritz, who has Down's Syndrome, better understand how long he has to wait for important events, such as his birthday or Christmas. Fritzie loves his calendars and loves marking off the days, which he does with the help of a family member, usually his dad.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's this year's advent calendar:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What else are we doing this year? We're baking biscotti. Or, to be more accurate, my husband is baking biscotti with Fritzie's help, although I hope to be able to help with tomorrow's batch. He's made at least four different batches so far, in a variety of flavors, and we're all chiming in with suggestions for new flavor combinations. Tonight's batch is orange-almond. I managed to snag a taste from the small stack of imperfect cookies that won't be going back into the oven for their second baking, so I can attest to the fact that they're very yummy.</div>

My husband had whistled a snatch of "Beautiful Dreamer" and, in response to my comment about how much I loved it, had laughed and said it was just something he used to hear Bugs Bunny sing when he was a kid. He also mentioned, it was relevant even if I can't remember exactly why now, that he thought Bugs may have claimed to have attended Yale. That was all it took! The next thing you know, I'm searching YouTube for versions of The Whiffenpoof Song.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As lullabies go, The Whiffenpoof Song must be among the more unusual, since it is commonly known as the Yale Drinking Song. But, it was one of my favorites, and I asked for it often. After listening to numerous versions, including several <i>a capella</i> renditions by Yale choristers, I'm convinced that Rudy Vallee, who seems to be the earliest to have recorded the song, sang it the best. Here's one of Rudy Vallee's versions, from 1930:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/dIzk9tsc9sE?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I found a couple of other Rudy Vallee versions: one may be even lovelier than this one, but visually it had no discernable connection to the song, while the other was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJVUTHLFdQ0" target="_blank">an earlier recording</a> and had more sound defects. This song has also been recorded by a number of other artists, including <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkZrhiHffH4" target="_blank">Bing Crosby</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XInbSNzQaz4" target="_blank">The Lettermen</a>, every single class of Yale choristers, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubI7Hyo5pZM" target="_blank">Louis Armstrong</a> (in a very altered revision), and even (in a very tiny "unpublished" fragmentary snatch that's part of a medley) Elvis Presley. (You should listen to the Presley version, just for the beauty of it, even if it isn't really this song.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The lyrics my mother sang, as I remember them, were slightly adapted from the original, which was published as sheet music in 1909, more than a decade before she was born. Most notably, she seems to have left several lines out, and to have changed the word "damned" to "doomed." Also, because my mother's name was Luella and she was often called Lui, I'm sure it was her dwelling we were both thinking of.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Using the lyrics from the WikiSource page for the song (see link in the first paragraph), I've attempted to provide the lyrics as I remember my mother singing them, complete with omissions and my childhood misunderstandings:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
To the tables down at Mory's,<br />To the place where Lui dwells,<br />To the dear old [???]<br />We love so well,</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
See the whiffenpoofs assembled<br />With their glasses raised on high,<br />And the magic of their singing casts its spell.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
[skipped lines] </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We are poor little lambs<br />Who have lost our way.<br />Bye-lo-bye!</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We are little black sheep<br />Who have gone astray.<br />Bye-lo-bye!</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Gentlemen songsters off on a spree<br />Doomed from here to eternity<br />God have mercy on such as we.<br />Bye-lo-bye!</blockquote>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As my mother sang, I imagined the whiffenpoofs as stork- or crane-like birds, sitting around Mory's tables while wearing top hats and carrying lorgnettes, looking very fine and very aloof as they sang the little lambs on their lonely way. The little lost lambs were wandering around pastoral hills and dales, trying to find their way home, and certain they would be lost forever, but I was sure that a shepherd or shepherdess was nearby and would find them before long. My certainty that the lambs were in no danger and would soon be home safe and snug, made this a very reassuring song for me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have no idea why, despite the fact that I knew very well that lambs say "baa" I heard my mother sing "bye-lo-bye," but that's the way I remember it.</div>

Ella E. Ward, my great grandmother, was born March 28, 1861 in Mount Holly (or Mount Holly Springs), Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of John E. Ward (b. about 1840, d. ?) and Elizabeth (b. about 1840, d. ?) .</div>

Alpheus Rote and Ella Ward married in 1883. In 1884, Alpheus was listed in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania City Directory, as was his mother, then a widow, at a separate address. Alpheus also appears in the Harrisburg city directories for 1890 through 1896. In 1884, Alpheus was listed as working as a laborer; in later directories, as a brakeman.</div>

In the 1910 census, Alpheus and Ella are shown as still living in New Castle. Alpheus is working Odd Jobs, and Ella is listed as having 5 children, with 5 surviving. The children in the home are: Mabel, Gail [sic] W., John, Emma, and Howard. Minnie, the youngest, had died sometime since the previous census.</div>

Here's a clipping I found in my mother's files. The source information was not noted, so I can't (at this moment) identify the newspaper. My mother, born Luella Jean Rote, grew up in Sandusky, Erie, Ohio, so it's likely this is from one of the local newspapers for Sandusky. <a href="http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/titles/places/ohio/erie/sandusky/" target="_blank">Chronicling America</a> lists a number of newspapers for Sandusky, only a few of which would have been active at the time.</div>

The winners of the Lafayette contest which was sponsored by the D. A. R. was announced by Mrs. Macleod Tuesday at Junior High. The winners were two girls from Room 18, Harriet Westover and Luella Rote. Harriet received the first prize of $5 and Luella the second of $2.50. Room 18 is very proud of these two girls as they competed over eighth graders and Senior High students.</blockquote>
There's very little about my mother's childhood in her files. This may even be the only newspaper clipping from that time, although my father still has, in a separate location, a number of my mother's grade school report cards, so I think she must have been very proud of this award.<br />
<br />
I'd love to find the original source, with the complete date, and I'd love to learn more about the contest in which the children participated. While I can speculate that this may have been an essay contest, that's only speculation and has no bearing on the actual facts.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07237626810464426460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817242415204081856.post-14182887757594444002013-11-06T14:42:00.002-07:002013-11-06T14:42:18.614-07:00Wishful Wednesday: I Wish I'd Met Grandpa LloydThis post was inspired by the <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/daily-blogging-prompts/wishful-wednesday/" target="_blank">Wishful Wednesday</a> <a href="http://www.geneabloggers.com/daily-blogging-prompts/" target="_blank">blogging prompt</a> shared by <a href="http://geneabloggers.com/" target="_blank">GeneaBloggers</a>. The prompt was suggested by Deborah Carder Mayes of <a href="http://cardermayes.weebly.com/blog.html" target="_blank">Rambling Along the Ancestral Trail</a>.<br />
<br />
I never met either of my grandfathers, and I've always wished I could have.<br />
<br />
My father's father, Elmer Bruce Lloyd, died in 1948, many years before I was born. Although the official cause of death was heart problems, his daughter Joy insisted that his death had been hastened by an accident he'd suffered at sea a decade before, damaging his left arm. According to my Aunt Joy, scar tissue from his wounds had grown and wrapped around his heart.<br />
<br />
My father's father, whom I'll call Grandpa Lloyd for the sake of brevity, was a naval chief, an Aviation Chief Machinist's Mate, to be specific. He spent much of his adult life at sea, but my father's memories of him are vivid and tell the story of a man who was bigger than life. Nicknamed “The Bull of the Woods” by the members of his squadron, a nickname usually shortened to Bull, Grandpa Lloyd was a tall man of great strength and ability. Although he had left school after the eight grade, he enjoyed reading and continued learning all his life, making him a good match for his college-educated wife.<br />
<br />
Grandpa Lloyd was extremely talented when it came to machinery, and to hear my dad talk, there wasn't anything that he couldn't fix. He installed indoor plumbing in the family's two-story home, after having a well dug and working on the well pump, himself. Later, he installed electricity. He also enjoyed making things. Grandpa Lloyd constructed a floor lamp using a propeller as the base, and table lamps using shell casings. He also enjoyed making miniature brass tools, such as a tiny pipe wrench that's actually adjustable. His work wasn't restricted to metalwork, either. He enjoyed carving, and my father still has a rattle my grandfather made, carved from a single piece of wood, with an interior ball that slides up and down inside.<br />
<br />
Often stern, Grandpa Lloyd had a wicked sense of humor. One summer, he kept his kids busy with the promise of a swimming hole by encouraging them to dig a hole. When their efforts began to drag, he came home with a package that he set gently on the kitchen table, telling the children he'd brought home explosives to extend their work and that it mustn't be jostled even the slightest bit. Granny Sissy, as we called my grandmother, was up to his tricks, though. So, when it was time to set the table and the package was in her way, to her children's awe and over their frightened protests, she simply picked that package up and flung it in a corner. I don't believe the kids ever got their own personal swimming hole, so it was a good thing there were others in the vicinity of their Florida home.<br />
<br />
As expected for a navy man, Grandpa Lloyd was well-traveled. He brought home all sorts of nicknacks from around the world, many from the Far East. When I was a small child, one of my favorite things in my grandmother's house was the cabinet in which the most delicate of the treasures were stored. I loved it when she unlocked the cabinet and allowed me to hold one or the other of the small trinkets and to imagine the place from which it had come. But, I think my favorite item was the laughing Buddha sprawled atop the back of a water buffalo that sat on the bookcase. There was something incredibly magical about this figure, and it was impossible to see him without smiling right back at him.<br />
<br />
My best memories about my grandfather were the many stories my father told about him, such as the one I shared here, regarding the explosives. Even my grandfather's death remains a legend in the family. It seems that he was holding one of my cousins when she was just a baby when his heart attack started. As strong in death as he had been in life, he refused to allow himself to drop the baby or fall with her in his arms. Instead, he lay her down in her crib, before going to lie down himself on the couch and dying shortly thereafter.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07237626810464426460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817242415204081856.post-47743350731634583302013-10-30T17:36:00.000-07:002013-10-30T17:51:49.698-07:00Was Granddad in Show Biz?Several months ago, I found my maternal grandfather's WWI US Draft Registration Card. The registration date of the card is June 7, 1917. Although I've since found other references for my grandfather's birth place, there was some new
information, information I had not found elsewhere. These include my grandfather's birth date and place of birth, as well as his location in 1917. On this card, Galen W. [Weiker] Rote reports that he is living at 525 Locust in Toledo, Ohio, and
was born on Mar. 7 1888 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.<br />
<br />
I also learned that his “present trade, occupation, or office”is “Show Business.”<br />

<br />
Wait a minute! Show Business???!!<br />
<br />
I hadn't seen that before. On census forms and in city directories for
Toledo and for Sandusky, Ohio, where my mother was born and where Galen
died, I've seen him employed as a brakeman, a salesman, even a bartender
for the Central Labor Hall. On his <a href="http://search4rootsandbranches.blogspot.com/2013/10/marriage-license-for-galen-w-rote-and.html" target="_blank">wedding license application</a>, Galen gave
his occupation as machinist. According to my dad, Granddad Rote also managed a restaurant
for a time, although I've found no confirmation of this. But, show business is different, and
intriguing. <br />
<br />
<br />
On his draft registration card, Galen gave his employer as J. S. Forenze. Or, are those even initials? They could easily be the number 28, possibly added later, although I don't know what that might mean. If you have a suggestion, please let me know! For “where employed” I first interpreted his answer as “Peerless Mrs. Ed. [unreadable] Mich,” but with some help from a second cousin have since come to realize it was “Peerless Mus Co. Det Mich” (Peerless Music Co., Detroit, Mich.).<br />
<br />
A bit of research, plus a couple of conversations with a friend and coworker who works in independent film, suggested that Peerless Music Company was probably a branch of the Peerless Film Corporation. I was fortunate enough to turn up a <a href="http://www.shorpy.com/node/10983" target="_blank">photograph of the Peerless Film Corporation's Detroit headquarters in 1917</a>. The building was located at 153 East Jefferson in Detroit, Michigan, as
referenced in the photo and comments for the photo. I love the coincidence of the photograph being from 1917. Did my grandfather walk down that street? Did he work in this building?<br />
<br />
I'm fascinated. In what capacity was my mother's father working? None of his other positions have a obvious connection to the music or film industry. I wonder whether this just was a young man's
willingness to take advantage of an opportunity, or whether
it reflected a dream close to his heart. What was his position,
<i>really</i>? Did he take tickets, work backstage, or was he part of
a variety act? His use of the phrase "Show Business" seems to suggest a romantic attachment to his work, but did his actual position place him in some dusty corner dreaming of fame, or did he have the opportunity to appear on stage or screen?<br />
<br />
Did Lulu approve, or disapprove, of the work? When Galen left this job, did he
do so because it had never been more than a temporary situation,
because he'd found himself unsuited for the work, or because his wife
required more stability? Certainly I know that by the time his first
child was born, he was working in more traditional, less
unpredictable fields, as a brakeman.<br />
<br />
My mother was fairly reticent when it came to talking about the details of her life, so I don't know whether her silence about her father's foray into show business reflected a lack of knowledge of events that happened well before she was born, or whether she grew up hearing about her dad's adventures on the stage. Either way, I would dearly love to know more about this aspect of my grandfather's life.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07237626810464426460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817242415204081856.post-29208464300691826872013-10-30T15:54:00.001-07:002013-10-30T17:48:43.779-07:00Marriage License for Galen W.

<br />
I had previously determined the probably location (Toledo, Lucas, Ohio) and approximate date (sometime between 1911 and 1917) based on what I knew from other records, but I had simply come up with a blank when attempting to find the actual record with the date of the marriage. Of course, this is just the application, but it gets me much closer to the actual date. I also love that this record provides confirmation of so much information pertinent to my genealogical research, since in addition to the names and birth dates of the couple, it gives names, including maiden names, of both sets of parents.<br />
<br />
Here's a transcript of the record:<br />

<br />
The name <a href="http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/alpheus" target="_blank">Alpheus</a>, it turns out, has both biblical and classical origins.<br />
<br />
<h4>
The Biblical Alphaeus</h4>
Alpheus is a variant spelling of the name <a href="http://www.behindthename.com/name/find/alphaeus" target="_blank">Alphaeus</a>. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphaeus" target="_blank">Alphaeus</a> is given as that of the father of two of Jesus' Twelve Apostles, <a href="http://www.behindthename.com/name/matthew" target="_blank">Matthew</a> (sometimes known as <a href="http://www.behindthename.com/name/levi" target="_blank">Levi</a>) and <a href="http://www.behindthename.com/name/james" target="_blank">James</a>, although it's not clear whether this means that Matthew and James were brothers, or simply that the two apostles each separately had a father with this name.<br />
<br />
<h4>
The Classical Alpheus</h4>
Alpheus is also a latinized form of the Greek name <i>Ἀλφειός </i>(<i>Alpheios</i>). According to <a href="http://www.behindthename.com/" target="_blank">Behind the Name</a>, <i>Ἀλφειός</i> derives either from<i> </i>"from Greek ἀλφή <i>(alphē)</i> meaning 'produce, gain, profit,' or from Greek ἀλφός <i>(alphos)</i>, which can mean 'whiteness'" as well as 'white leprosy.'"<br />
<br />
In Greek myth, <a href="http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/alpheus.html" target="_blank"> Alpheus</a> was the son of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oceanus" target="_blank">Oceanus</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tethys_%28mythology%29" target="_blank">Tethys</a>. He was a river deity (river-god), and also a hunter. Alpheus was the father of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orsilochus">King Orsilochus</a>, whose mother Telegone was also a child of the gods.<br />
<br />
As a river deity, Alpheus was also the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfeios_River">Alfeios River</a>. He fell in love with the Neirad <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arethusa_%28mythology%29">Arethusa</a> (<i>Ἀρέθουσα</i>) when she bathed in the Alfeios River. She, as a follower of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis" target="_blank">Artemis</a>, was sworn to chastity. Praying for help from <a href="http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/artemis.html" target="_blank">Artemis</a>, <a href="http://www.pantheon.org/articles/a/arethusa.html" target="_blank">Arethusa</a> fled, with Alpheus in pursuit. Her journey included a number of transformations, as she was hidden in a cloud, became a stream, and, eventually, a fountain on the island of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ortygia">Ortygia</a> near <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syracuse,_Sicily">Syracuse</a>. But, even in this final form and having crossed an ocean, her waters mingled with those of Alpheus, who had managed to cross the ocean by flowing under the sea from <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peloponnesus" target="_blank" title="Peloponnesus">Peloponnesus</a> to Ortygia.<br />
<br />
There are also stories about how Alpheus fell in love with and pursued Artemis. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artemis_Alphaea" target="_blank" title="Artemis Alphaea">Artemis Alphaea</a> and Alphaea temples in Letrini and Ortygia, as well as a joint altar at Olympia reflect the close ties between Alpheus and Artemis.<br />
<br />

So it was with my<a href="http://search4rootsandbranches.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-mystery-of-john-h-henry-j-and-ella.html" target="_blank"> search for the parentage of the Faller children</a>. While researching marriages recorded in association with another Rote, I made use of the <a href="http://75.144.2.26/obit2/index.php?function=show_search_form&table_name=d_m&MMN_position=15:15" target="_blank">New Castle Public Library's Marriage/Obituary Database</a>, and in the process I found Mabel Rote's marriage to a Faller. This library database, which is basically an index to individuals named as principles in marriage and obituary announcements, has proven to be invaluable for researching marriages and obituaries for individuals with connections to New Castle and Lawrence County.<br />
<br />
The record for Mabel returns this information:<br />

While the name of the spouse, "Jenry J. Faller" isn't quite what we're looking for, it seems likely to be a transcription error.<br />

Having found the record for Mabel Rote and a Faller, I ran a search for Faller and the year 1912, ignoring the unusual first name for the time being. Here's what I got:<br />

Ahah! As I suspected. We now have information tying Mabel Rote to Henry J. Faller, with a marriage announcement date of May 14, 1912. With this information in hand, it was time to see if I could find the actual text of the announcement in the New Castle News. For this, I returned to Ancestry.com, which I know from frequent encounters has records from this newspaper. To get to the records for New Castle News, I start with the Card Catalog.<br />

Searching for Mabel Rote and the year of publication results in a number of hits, with those in 1912 at the top of the list. The first is for March 8, 1912 and turns out to be unrelated to the marriage (although of interest in learning a bit more about Mable Rote), and the second is for Tuesday, May 14, 1912 and is for the Society page, on which the marriage announcement can be found under the heading "Quiet Marriage."<br />

<b>Transcription</b><br />

<dd><div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Quiet Wedding</b></div>
Friends of Miss Mabel Rote, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Rote of Patterson avenue, and Mr. Henry J. Faller of Fern avenue, will be interested to learn of their marriage which was a quiet even of Monday evening at 7 o'clock in the home of Rev. J. M. Farrell on Carson street. The bride was prettily attired and the witnesses were his sister Miss Emma Rote, and Miss Mary Jenkins. The young couple will go to house-keeping on the Westside.</dd>
</dl>
Aside from the claim that Miss Emma Rote was Faller's sister (most likely an error, as Mabel had a sister named Emma), the announcement is quite informative, confirming as it does that this Mabel Rote is the child of A. M. Rote (almost certainly Alpheus McClelland Rote), the addresses of the respective parties, the name of the minister who officiated over the marriage, and the names of the two witnesses.<br />
<br />
While the evidence I've found, as reported in this and previous posts, is not comprehensive proof that Mable Rote and Henry J. Faller are the parents of Henry John and Ella L. Faller, at this point I'm fairly confident that this is, in fact, the case. While I will, of course, continue to collect any documents I find on the members of this family, at this point I consider that particular mystery solved. Perhaps the one less than satisfactory aspect of this is the question of what happened to the parents of these children, that resulted in their living with their grandparents.<br />
<br />
ETA: Another piece of the puzzle has fallen into place since I first posted this. Mabel died in 1919. Although I have not yet found a direct record of her death, I found a notice of her burial on January 10, 1919, published in the January 13, 1919 edition of New Castle News. This goes a long way toward explaining why the children were living with their grandparents, although it does not completely explain why their father chose or was unable to care for them.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07237626810464426460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6817242415204081856.post-55877426398239890932013-05-04T19:03:00.001-07:002013-05-04T19:05:37.504-07:00Searching RootsWeb for Henry John Faller<br />
Today, I'm searching for Henry John <strike>and Ella L Faller</strike>, grandchilren of Alpheus M. Rote, in <strike>multiple</strike> one online database, <a href="http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/" target="_blank">RootsWeb</a>*; as noted in <a href="http://search4rootsandbranches.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-mystery-of-john-h-henry-j-and-ella.html" target="_blank">previous</a> <a href="http://search4rootsandbranches.blogspot.com/2013/05/new-data-on-rote-and-faller.html" target="_blank">entries</a>, I've found evidence indicating that Henry John Faller and his sister are the children of Alpheus' daughter, Mabel Rote, and her husband Henry J Faller. While I've already done some searching on Ancestry.com and checked out Geni.com to see if my connections to Geni's World Tree can shed any light, my intention today is to check out other databases and to record the various results I've found on each site.<br />
<br />

As you can see, only the surname is listed for all but a single entry, but for the moment, none of these appears a likely match, based on the dates and migration information. However, there are a few links preceding the results table, one to information on alternate surnames (important, given that my starting point in the 1920 census was for the surname Fuller) and a "resource page" on the Faller surname.<br />
<br />
The alternate surnames suggested are Faller, Toller, Fulle, Fowler, and Fuller. Just glancing at the results for Fuller, I see that there are many more individuals listed on Rootsweb with this surname. But, for the moment, I'm going to set that trail aside and focus more directly on the Faller surname. The link to the resource page takes me to a set of searches, with the Faller surname already completed; possible databases I can search include WorldConnect Family Trees, the Social Security Death Index (SSDI), the RootsWeb Surname List, and Primary Records at RootsWeb (identified as the USGenWeb Archives).<br />
<h3>
WorldConnect Family Trees</h3>
<div>
I'm starting with an Exact search on the surname Faller, with the first name Henry John, and birth place Pennsylvania, which returns no results, followed by a Soundex search. The Soundex returns 15 results, none of which look likely. I repeat my search, this time with the Metaphone option; there are 14 results, this time, many of them apparently duplicates of my prior search, but once more none appear to be the individual I'm trying to find.</div>
<h3>
Social Security Death Index</h3>
<div>
The SSDI, as it turns out, is only available through Ancestry.com, but has the advantage of allowing me to connect the search to the Henry John Faller in my tree. Of the 2,397 records returned (most of which have <b><i>nothing </i></b>to do with this individual, Ancestry identifies 7 as the most likely matches:</div>

Since the birth place is not included in any of these records I can't directly rule any of these men in or out of my search on that basis. The most likely, based on this information is the second in the list, John H. Faller, who died in Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, but there's no real reason to feel that this man is truly the one I'm looking for; I've saved this to my shoebox, but I'm not ready to attach it to Henry John Faller in my tree. I could request a copy of his original social security application, but this would require an expenditure that I'm not willing to make at this time. I'll put this information aside, for inclusion in my formal searches on Ancestry.com.<br />
<h3>
Primary Records/USGenWeb Archives</h3>
Since I've already obtained a list of Fallers in the Rootsweb Surname List, it's time for a primary record search. There are only two results for an exact search for Faller; neither is useful.<br />
<br />
So, for now, I seem to have exhausted the resources available on RootsWeb, and my search is over for the moment.<br />
