I have a brief blog post that compares the prices of two homes from the values given in the 1930 and 1940 censuses, the time of the Great Depression. http://genrootsblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/home-prices-1930-and-1940-censuses.html Or... http://goo.gl/52q78 Happy searching. Regards, Joe

Nancy I don't send money orders for the sites I've used (specifically, the British Nat'l Archives, British History.com) but instead charge it to my credit card. Faster, simpler. There may be a fee (perhaps $5) for int'l transactions, I don't recall now, but it is certainly not $30. What sites are you using?

Hi List As I am trying to reach as many people as possible I apologise for the cross-posts, hopefully there will not be too many of you upset by this. Recently on Trade Me in New Zealand I purchased a collection of glass plate negatives in hope these may be the lost collection of my AULD family. However this was not the case and before placing for sale again on Trade Me I would like to try and reunite them with their family. A very small selection of these photos and an email contact address can be found at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~scruffin/ Internet Explorer viewers may find the initial paragraph "drop caps" drop further than they do in Firefox, being no webpage expert I did not know how to overcome this. Thank you and again apologies for the cross-posting. Kind regards Glennis

PA. I am looking for who he married and information on his spouse. Of course I am looking for the history of their life such as deed, church, will, and anything that make them be real people o me. Christopher Dunkelberger born 31 May 1749 in Berks Co PA and died 02 March 1835 in Lower Mahanoy, Northumberland Co, PA I am looking for the same information as above. Philip Dunkelberger born about 1750 in Berks Co PA and died 30 March 1821 in Northumberland Co. PA. I am looking for the same types of things as above.

I have the information on their father in Germany and going back to Engle of Ufer in the 1500s I have informationon on some of the children in this generation. I have information on my direct line ancestors after this generation I usually only follow my direct line and their siblings in the generation in which they were born in America because there are just too many names after that. I look for the information that makes the people seem real and like I knew them. I am just trying to fill in the gaps in this generation. Maybe someone has the book about the Dunkelbergers in America or has them in their tree. Thanks for any help that you can be. Velma VJSpringer@aol.com

Hi Nancy The NBI 3 coverage for Leicestershire has only increased by 1000 entries over the NBI 2 so suspect that if they are not in 2 they probably won't be in 3 either Leicestershire FHS have some of their own publications so I would suggest posting the same request to the Leicestershire list if you don't get your answer here http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/ENG/LEICESTERSHIRE-PLUS.html Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) I am looking for the burial place of my GGGrandparents: John THOMPSON (died 8/16/1872 Appleby, Leicestershire, England) and Martha THOMPSON (died 4th qtr. 1890, Leicestershire - probably Appleby). I have the 2nd edition of NBI and it is not in there. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Nancy Beckman

Hi, In earlier times people were so busy just staying alive they did not need to know their birth date They probably never celebrated it. My husband grew up in the NC hills and he said that he never even had a birthday cake- they could not afford the store bought supplies. Presents were not a big thing even for Christmas. My grandfather tells of what they had at Christmas. They did hang a stocking. If they were lucky they had a store bought Orange. His mom spun yard and knitted them cuffs to wear in the cold Wisconsin winters. He was glad to get them. He had older siblings that would make things such as a corn husk doll or a wooden boat to put in the stockings. We think in terms of what things are like now. We all go to school now and had to be a certain age when we entered school. We pull out our I D card with our birthdate on it all the time. Just having a bank account or credit cared requires a birthday (and SS #). Also consider when you have two dates whether one might be a birthdate and the other one a baptism date. Most baptisms were done shortly after birth but not always. I have ancestors who were baptised only when it was needed for some reason and it was many years later. Even as late as the 1930s some children were born at home. No one was taking down birthdates. It wasn't until they needed a birth record for some reason that they got a delayed birth certificate. but those did not exist in eary times. Bible records written at the time of birth and baptisms are probably your best bet in the early years of this country. Even if he was an orphan it probably did not happen at his birth. Records just were not kept. Velma

I've kind of had fun with the need to browse (like the old days of cranking through films at NARA and the historical society)...I've found neighbors from when I was a kid that I wouldn't have been looking for in a search. The EDs are sometimes hard to locate -- my grandparents in York, PA lived on a corner property and even though I knew the address and cross street the corner property wasn't in the ED I thought it should be from the description on the NARA site. When I did locate my grandparents I also noticed the notation in the left margin of the page that the next door neighbor, Walter Lindemuth, was not home when the census taker came through so my grandmother provided the information about him...I wonder how accurate that is? But at least we know when the info didn't come from the direct source in this census. Joan In a message dated 4/7/2012 7:00:45 P.M.

Big problem here was there were no boundaries shown on the map. As luck would have it, the last ED on the list was the one. I was stumbling through and was beginning to lose hope but got to page 33 of 46 and lo and behold, there I was!!. I learned the enumerator worked our side of the road and several pages later picked up the neighbor across the road so as we have always been told, the next person on the census might or might not be neighbors. Learned a couple important things. Neighbor 'Goober's real name was Irene and neighbor 'Mickey' was really Rebecca. Appears everyone was there. I sure hope they all have lived long enough to spot themselves on a census. A real kick!!! Happy Easter everyone Ron

Hi Could someone please tell me where I could make enquiries into someone being orphaned/adopted in the 1820's ish in PA. I beginning to feel that Henry Fuller may have been an orphan as he doesn't seem to know his birth date. Henry states on an Affidavit 4th april 1879 "My age is according to records and my Understanding and information just about 63 years last January" I was born in Pennsylvania now live in Leechburgh. That makes his birth date 1816. His birth date varies from 1816-1824, what could these "Records" be he refers to. If he had a birth certificate or baptism certificate he would know exactly when he was born. I have also contacted the Allegheny court house for his marriage details as this may have something on it. Any help much appreciated. Kind regards Dianna

Barbara, Lydia and George Baker are shown in the 1930 US Census in West New York Town, Hudson Co., New Jersey at 304 6th St. He is 58 and she 57. His occupation is noted 'Stage Hand/Theater'. None for her. I've sent a copy of this census to you. Perhaps you might look in New Jersey for any death records. Jean C. Michigan In a message dated 4/7/2012 3:25:49 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, bgranato53@gmail.com writes: We have a photograph from the 1890's to the 1900's which shows my great-grandfather's sister ("Aunt Lou" -- also known as Lulu) in costume, on top of a horse, with other women in costumes on horses. There is an arrow pointing to her which says "Aunt Lou Chicago", but what is even more interesting are three canopy tents in the background, and a wagon that shows "BARNU...." -- Clearly the start of the words "Barnum and Bailey." As far as I know, "Aunt Lou" was born as Lydia Lehman in Michigan in 1873; According to the 1900 federal census she was married to George Baker and living in Manhattan. It's interesting to note that in the 1900 census, her husband is an acrobat who has not been employed in 6 months. They are shown boarding with another couple, Robert and May Hodge -- and Robert is shown as a comedian who has not been employed for 6 months. I'm guessing that perhaps "Aunt Lou" met and married George Baker in the circus? And I'm also guessing that the Hodge's may have also been in the circus with them? I cannot find a marriage record for Aunt Lou; nor can I find a death record for her. Supposedly she was born in Michigan; but had ties to Chicago, and then lived in Manhattan. She had no children that I know of. This leaves me with many questions -- looking for marriage info and death info. Also wondering if there are any records of folks being employed by Barnum and Bailey in those early years... I find this to be a fascinating story in the works, and would welcome any help or suggestions. Thanks, everyone. Barbara in Whitesboro, NY _bgranato53@gmail.com_ (mailto:bgranato53@gmail.com)
