    1. [PAWASHIN] Indian Princess
    2. Lona Boudreaux
    3. Good morning all, Have been enjoying these e-mails. My dad was the 6th of 7 children in his family and never mentioned the Indian princess grandmother in our family. But, when I visited his older brother and sisters I learned about her. They had a made up name for her, something like Minnie Whoha, but referred to her as an Indian Princess. When I ask my uncle and aunts genealogy questions about her, they couldn't give me any information. It was almost like we know about her amongst ourselves but we don't really claim her and tell stories about her like we do about other family members. Over the years I was told by other people in the genealogy field that everyone is claiming an Indian princess in their lines and Indians didn't have princesses so you probably don't have Indian heritage. I kept looking and have now made a connection to my Carney line and hope some day to learn more. Some years back I exchanged e-mails with a man who has a number of Indian ancestors. He said that if we had a male ancestor in America before there were many white women that yes we would have Native American heritage. Lona Laughlin Boudreaux Monroe, La lona71203@comcast.net

    1. Re: [PAWASHIN] An example of changing what is found in a "source"
    2. Judy Florian
    3. Post Script: I'm reminded of my early schooldays (and also watching my daughter at age 6) when learning to spell and write our own names. I have one school paper where I wrote my name as Juddy Floran, cos I forgot the "i" (and added a d to Judy). And I'm reminded of the phases children and teens go through of writing their names in some "fancy" ways: Stacy becomes Staci for awhile... Rebecca might become just Becca. Since that paper is the earliest "record" of ME using my own name, I could say "the correct name is" Juddy Floran - 2 d's and no i. If that sounds ridiculous in terms of genealogy, its the same mistake as saying the past OR today's surname spelling is "correct" and any variant is "wrong." True, there may have been a misspelling, but we cannot rightfully say a variant name in genealogy is "wrong." My last rant on this-- I promise LOL Judy On 9/28/07, Judy Florian <cageycat@gmail.com> wrote: > > As an additional comment to my other recent post about transcribing, I > need to say something about the statement "the correct name is....." >

    1. [PAWASHIN] An example of changing what is found in a "source"
    2. Judy Florian
    3. As an additional comment to my other recent post about transcribing, I need to say something about the statement "the correct name is....." Let me first offer the following example: My (ummm-- 4th??) great-great grandfather is listed on his tomstone as John ANTONY while his wife's tombstone beside him reads Elizabeth ANTHONY. In my later research, I have seen that for a period of time before 1830... and again in the 1880s -- and in a specific locality--- ANTHONY was *sometimes* (infrequently) spelled without the "h." Generations after 1830 seem to have settled on using the H. If I was transcribing this cemetery, I would type it AS IS. I would NOT add to my transcription "Correct spelling ANTHONY" --with the H. No matter how a surname is spelled today, or how many generations used a particular spelling, generally speaking, who can say what the "correct" spelling WAS ORIGINALLY? Even the earliest "original" spelling may have first been written down by someone who could not spell ! Or, they had a preferential "ear" for certain sounds (example: Is the sound spelled Schy___ or Schi___ ? for the sound shi (long i sound) Did the writer like how Schy looked? Or did they think that was the way it "should" be spelled? -- what about the CH? was it a hard sound or a ssss sound when pronounced.?) Was an accent a problem? -- was the name the German Beckar, or was it the English Baker? Many "recorders" in Court Houses (Recorder of Deeds, Recorder of Wills) were more educated than other people, but it is common to see variantions in how even ONE Recorder wrote the same name. And most Recorders were more "English" or had more of an English ear. Most non-English still had heavy accents in the 1700s & 1800s, so they would say their name "right" but how it was written down is another matter! Remember, most people did not write their own documents. They often went to the Court House or to a "learned" (learn-ed) neighborhood person, and the farmer or laboror would tell the writer what they wanted to accomplish (I'm selling my son-in-law 50 acres.) Remember also, Recorders copied documents--- so they could introduce a misspelling -- and that is what researchers read in those old docket books (not the original paper). With tombstones, we will never know IF: 1. The undertaker / stone mason who chiseled the stone could spell very well; 2. The family gave the spelling to the person who chiseled the name; 3. Whether the spelling the family gave was "correct" -- i.e. that it matched the spellingS used on other documents, tax lists, etc.; 4. Whether the funeral home director gave the name to the monument "company" (most monuments were sold by one person in a community, not by a company of persons like today) 5. Whether the person chiseling the name knew or knew of the family-- it is easier to remember how to spell someone's name if you've known the surname before. 6. Or, maybe the person felt certain they "knew" how to spell the name, but they didn't. So what's right to do if the tombstone you've searched for years has some ODD spelling on it? HOW do you let other researchers know that OBLISS is connected directly to you and YOUR name is OBLISK? You could use this: "Note: Spelled OBLISK in later generations" Or you can be more specific: "Note: Joseph OBLISS born 1801 died 1879 is the direct ancestor of Marie OBLISK, his 4th great-granddaughter. Generations after Joseph use OBLISK." Again, I hope I don't offend anyone by saying this, but I both cringe and chuckle when I see "The correct name is xxxxx." That statement is incorrect and never should be used in genealogy. Judy

    1. Re: [PAWASHIN] WVA Death Certificates
    2. Hi Judy, Both entries are clearly for the same man and appear to be one page apart in the same ledger. But I notice that the informant for one was a physician - probably the doctor who attended Mr. McGary at his death - and the informant for the other record was Mrs. Sarah McGary, "head of the family". That probably accounts for the two entries. Although the date the death was recorded wasn't included in either entry, it's likely that Sarah went to report the death one day, and the physican went later to report it. The handwriting on the entries is different, so my guess is that the person who made the second entry didn't realize the death had already been recorded by another clerk. This is just my guess from looking at the two entries. There may be another explanation.

    2. Eric Olson
    3. I have a great great great grandmother who is said to be an Indian Princess. Her name was Hannah (or Anna) Waul or Waugh, born in 1788 near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She married George Cline. She died in 1869 in Flora, Carroll County, Indiana. They had nine children. George was probably the first white settler in that portion of the township. His neighbors were Pottawatomie Indians and their children were playmates of George's children. This peaceable co-existence was threatened during the Black Hawk War in 1833. An alarm went out, which later turned out to be false so the friendly feelings and mutual confidence were soon restored, according to a history book of the area..
