Re: Prince - illegitimate child (Barbara Sidler) There was no "Prince of hague" in 1852/53 so highly unlikely that she could have been a child of the "Prince" maybe the king?

My cousin Ernest Ivaldi died on January 24, 2010. I have been trying to find his obit without much luck. Can someone tell me if it was in the Oakland Tribune. If it was, can someone send me a copy.   Thank you.   Joy Durrett  

I have found a lot of people's obits that I have searched for, along with articles, But they have the papers for the areas that I am searching in. I also have a subscription to newspaperarchives that I find useful for the areas I'm searching. The easiest way to see if it would be useful for you is to search for names and see what pops up< Sue C. Nampa,Id.

There is an Ambrose born about 1848 in Baden and residing in Lancaster, Lancaster, PA on the 1870 US Census. Probably unmarried at that time.

Further research seems to lead to a relationship with someone the estate or house of the wealthiest family in the area. This seems to have started the rumor of a Prince from the royal family fathering a child. See if you can find a royal family in the area of your search. If not it may have been a very wealthy family in the area and the castle a grand house that was much admired by those with less. Perhaps it set better to have the thought of being rejected by the Royal family than just having an illegitimate child. I think this was the case with our search subject.

I think one month subscriptions are very nice. I float between databases and one month subscriptions. It works very well, for me because I seem to be all about genealogy for a  while, then drift over to scrapbooking, sewing for my granddaughters or sewing for dolls for a few months. Then I'm back to my research. When I'm back, I concentrate on one family and use one database at a time. In the long run, although I pay more with monthly subscriptions, I pay less per year for all the subscriptions.

Betty - the time frame isn't stated here, but these might be places to check: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/251627/The-Hague http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_V,_Prince_of_Orange I found it necessary at times to 'think outside the genealogy box' and went to the available literature - once you get closer to a time frame and whether they WERE in the Netherlands - many people migrated from the Netherlands to Pennsylvania - mine did. Do all kinds of searches on Google and DO go down the various rabbit holes - can't get the rabbit without doing this. I have also had very good responses from the rootsweb mail lists in the Netherlands when looking for some of my early ancestors (I was searching for them in the mid 1600s and they were 'with the Royal family in exile' in the Netherlands during that time). Unfortunately, many records no longer exist in the Netherlands because of the bombing and fires during WW2 - HOWEVER, as we know in San Francisco from the 1906 earthquake and fire, some records can be found - some were 'hidden' in cellars and are now in archives so still can be searched - on site unfortunately, but sometimes a kind volunteer will go to the archives and do some digging for you. I had no language problem - Europeans are mostly fluent in multiple languages. Also, these vital records are 'beginning' to be transcribed - slowly - and will be available on the IGI. I am not holding my breath but do check from time to time. Also maybe someone else has a worldwide subscription to ancestry - the one I share with a cousin is only the basic UK. ancestry.uk: Name: Mary Anne Calvin Birth: abt 1857 - St George E, Middlesex, EnglandResidence: 1881 - St George in The East, London, England Also this with no date: Ireland, Index to Griffith's Valuation, 1848-1864 about Mary Anne Colvin Name: Mary Anne Colvin Location: Armagh, Killevy, Clogharevan, Village of Bessbrook Source Information: Heritage World Family History Services.

Notice that you can quickly check the snippets - by clicking on the "Historical Newspapers" section and THEN doing your search. That brings up the snippets with no pitch to sign-up first. This lets you see the actual results on the page - confirming GenBank has your people before signing up.

One added bit of my worthless two cents worth - I liked being able to see 'snippets' of some of the articles - which I certainly checked carefully before I paid the yearly subscription. Margie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Havnar" <jchavnar@sbcglobal.net> To: <norcal@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 6:05 PM Subject: Re: [NORCAL] Genealogy Bank Jeanne, I have belonged to GenealogyBank since almost the beginning. I am an Asst Genealogist in a family name Genealogical Society, I do monitor the current posted obits for folks dying with "THE" surname. I do also monitor legacy.com - GenealogyBank does have a different assortment of current obits from those posted at legacy, or thru Obituary Daily Times. Personally, I have huge family in San Jose. GenealogyBank has the paper for the early part of last century. I have read much of the pre-scandal from my great-grandfather, and was able to share with the rest of the family the ramp-up to the divorce. I find the service good enough that I have renewed at least once, if not twice. But, you can plug in your names of interest, see how many hits you get and based on that see if it seems worth while to you. Hope this helps all the folks assessing if this service seems to be useful to them or not... -----Original Message----- From: norcal-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:norcal-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Jeanne Moody Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2010 8:30 AM To: norcal@rootsweb.com Subject: [NORCAL] Genealogy Bank Does anyone use Genealogy Bank?
