 happy Saturday. I can't believe it's Saturday already. I know weeks keep whipping by. How are you, Azure? I'm doing good. How are you doing? Good. Good. You know, I realized that here we are almost midnight, mid month in October, and we haven't wished everybody a happy family history month. Oh, you're right. That's right. It's family history month. So, yeah. I mean, every month is family history month on WikiTree, but the rest of the world is giving it a not this one. So, great to see everyone. 19 people with us. Vic Thoros was the first to arrive so and wishing us all a good time zone. We got Melissa Clifford, Susie Carter with us. Murray from Canada is saying it's a beautiful day for a solar eclipse. I forgot about it. That's happening and it's going to be kind of over where AO and AO and I are. Very cool. 1030 or something like that, 903 or some sometime around then. Yeah. Are you going to try and see it? I'm going to try to look outside and see if I can see anything. Yeah. And then we got Patricia Jackson, Chris Wine. Hi. Hi, Vicki from Chile and Yoke. We're going to look at one of your photos for photo of the month and I apologize in advance that I'm not going to be able to pronounce the names. I looked at those this morning. I thought, oh my goodness. And hi, Teresa. And we've got Donna, Lisa, Mary Sleppy and anyone else? Day Mellon the first in Wales. Wow. I don't know. Great to have you. Yeah. Welcome. I mean, I'm the Welsh dragon so I feel like I should know you. Good morning, June and John from Ireland, Irish John. Hilary from Wales. Hi, Hilary. And Ellen Altenberg from Florida. Oh, yeah. There we go. Vic Thoris saying it's 913 specific daylight time. So it'll be 813 my time, which is okay. Like 10 minutes. So I guess I'm in here. Well, if we see you going. I'm the havelin and Chris Ferriolo. Excellent. Well, we got the memo right this morning? Yes. Yes. Yay. This just came in the mail yesterday. I am so excited. That's awesome. I love the mail. I know it's very cozy. I mean, it's gotten, it's in the 50s now here in Illinois. Yeah, I was 24 this morning when I woke up here. Yeah. So is that normal? Yeah, we're at 7000 elevation. So yeah, it gets cold here. It's like a high desert. So it gets cold here at night. Hmm. Well, you've got it. June is your twin. This one. All right, June. So we've got a question of the week, which was any Indigenous people in your family tree. And there are just on the G2G post alone, there are 80 responses. And that's not even counting responses on social media. That was great. Yes. Yes. Absolutely. So we are going to take a look at that. Of course, we can't look at every single response. They're great. I wish we could read every response. But I started from the front and Azure started from the end of the post. And we looked for ones to highlight. So I don't see Shelly in the chat. Shelly's usually with us, although I think maybe coming in a little later. But Shelly had a family story that her third great-grandmother, Mary Sutton-Nevels, was Cherokee. And her nickname in the family was Injun Mary. She thinks probably no more than one eighth Cherokee with Welsh on her father's side. And on her mother's side, the rumor is that she was related to Chief Benji. That would be intriguing. Yeah. Christine Miller has four Indigenous living people in the family tree because her cousin's son married someone who's a First Nation person in Canada and they have three daughters. Wonderful. Yeah. Nancy Thomas says she's got ethnicity estimates, just over 10%. And this was a really nice story about the power of DNA collaboration in our adoption angels project here on Wiki Tree. So the DNA result was how she discovered that the man on her birth certificate was either adopted or not my biological father. And somebody in adoption angels on Wiki Tree helped her use her DNA matches from four companies to find the couple that is most probably her, certainly her paternal grandparents, which one, her grandmother was 50% Ojibwe or Chippewa. And she needs someone on the maternal side, her maternal grandmother's side to take a DNA test for her to solidify things. So I hope that works out for you, Nancy. That would be so satisfying to know. Oh, we have a photo from, of course, Alexis Nelson, who is always so great about sharing photos. This is her daughter-in-law, who is Cherokee, standing in front of the only remaining sod house in Oklahoma. So it looks, doesn't it look like it's in a museum? What do you think, Ezra? Does it look like? Yeah, it looks like it's inside a building. Sorry, I didn't realize I was muted. Okay. Yeah, but that is really interesting. Thanks so much, Alexis, for sharing that picture. Yes, we love pictures. And you want to, you want to do some from the page four? Sure. Yeah. Let me, I'll stop sharing. Well, Murray is in the chat and he shared quite a, let's see if I can find it here. I had it up. Here we go. This is it. Yeah, here we go. He's talking about different tribes. And I am not going to attempt to pronounce all of these different ones. I would murder him probably. So he has a great post out there. Go check that out. So he has two of the lines that have been confirmed with MTDNA, Hapa groups. And he just really explains more in detail about that, how that was done and where the other matches are and really, really great information to share. Yeah, Murray, Murray is great with DNA. Yeah. So love seeing all of these wonderful responses. We had one on page three I wanted to show a quick here. So we have Martin West talking about that he has a New Zealand Maori, is it Maori? And then he has different tribes from East Cape, South Africa and North Province, South Africa. So from different countries even. So just really very interesting. All the different indigenous tribes and peoples that are talked about and all the different posts by everyone. We really appreciate everyone answering, taking the time to answer and share there. Yeah. I mean, I think it's really wonderful that we're being very specific now, you know, with not just the American Native Americans, but first peoples in Canada and indigenous people in Australia and in Taiwan. There's a distinction between those who are ethnically Chinese and those who are our native native tribes. And it's very, very interesting. I haven't found any of those indigenous Taiwanese people in my tree, but I would be excited if I did. Yeah. Yeah. That's like our family, you know, like most family American families, there's always the story or folklore that there's, you know, Native American ancestry. And so we, you know, the story was that it was my grant, my maternal grandfather's line. But it wasn't, it's like there's a little tiny bit of DNA showing Native American ancestry. It's got to be way further back than that. So what is the percentage? It's like 1% on my mom's DNA. So it's very, very small. Yeah. Yeah. More than mine. I have zero, zero. So it's just like, you know, but that's the difference between the story from the fan that gets passed down to the family versus, you know, actual, because I haven't even found any paper evidence of that, you know, no evidence besides the story. So. Right. Well, I mean, I see people in the responses to the post talking about an ancestor's name appearing on the Indian roles. Yeah. That would be like that would be it. Yep. Yeah. So like we said, there's 80 wonderful answers here that we can't, we would spend the whole live cast double. And so have a look, have a read of both things. Just some very interesting stories there. Yeah, definitely go out and vote for everybody because they took the time to provide that information for us and sharing it. And also, there's a lot of information that you may learn something that will help you with your research. Debbie Deb Covell talks about her family for grandparents with Indigenous ancestry. And she, you know, there's links out here to the profiles. And even here is one of the names. Really interesting. I would not even know how to pronounce that. Well, it means she remembers. Yeah. Oh, here we go. She, she, yeah. Rosh, I don't know. Okay. Yeah. So there's a really interesting post out there. Definitely go check those out, everybody. Wow. And the, the, what alphabet is that? I mean, I'm just thinking of all our conversations with the 15 Nations project and alphabets and. And how to have the last names and all of that. Right, right. Yeah. Very interesting. Yeah. I think, thank you for, for sharing that Deb. Well, do we have something to say about Australia? Australia. I washed up the mug just special for this morning. Yes, we have the profiles of the week this week are which Australian convict are you most closely connected to? So this is to commemorate the anniversary of the Australian, the last Australian convict ship to set sail. And so we're looking at the most notable and notorious passengers. Okay. All right. So we have the first one. The profile focus is Francis Howard Greenway. And he was an Australian architect. So on his profile, it's really great, a great profile. Somebody did a lot of work on. It has the image of the ship that he was, that he arrived in Australia on the General Hewitt, which is great. It has even information about what he looked like in his height. So it's kind of nice. Oh, that I always love that. And they have links to the different buildings that he was the architect on. And here's, there's a $10 note that features him. And we have some examples of his work. Hyde Park Barracks in the St. James Church at Sydney. For you and me, he is our farthest connection. Oh, really? Oh, really? He only has 63 connections. Really? So he's connected, but it's like very little, very little profile connected to him. So that would be great if we could get him increased. I know. If anyone wants a project for the weekend. Yeah. Up this guy's CC7, y'all. And he was an artist too. I, let me take this off of reading mode so we can see some of his artwork is also attached to his profile. That's really cool. Nice. And I'm sorry, I miss that. Did he have a wife and children? Oh, yes. A father of. So there would be direct descendants. Yep. Okay. Yeah. And they have his brother and his father on here. Right. Okay. And people in the chat are also saying that they're very far from him. Yeah, seems to be a thing. Okay. So the next profile is Matthew James Everingham. This one is very interesting. He is, his trial is on here. The actual transcription of the trial is really interesting. And then there is a conspiracy theory around him, which I thought was interesting. So let me go down here real bottom. So after his death, there was rumors about the Everingham millions. So this was a kind of a conspiracy or a rumors around all this fortune that was happening back then after he died. So that was really interesting. So they've got this outlined here. And in the research notes, they have information about the disputed parents. You know, we love research notes. Yep. And it's talking about who the possible parents might be. So research notes or what drew me to WikiTree. Yeah, just the collaboration that's happening with that. That just really shows good spirit of community and collaboration really. Is it, is that profile project managed? This one is, let's see, take it off. Yeah. Project protected with the Australia project. Cool. Yeah. Very neat. All right. Next profile is Joseph Holt. And he was born in Ireland. And he was a leader of the Rebels of the 1798 Irish rebellion. He was tried in Wicklow and exiled in New South Wales. His family, his wife and son traveled with him aboard the Minerva. And he was a manager of a brush farm. And he had gotten trouble again. Convict uprising. And then even after he returned to his farm, there was another episode confiscation of an illicit still in 1806. Ah. Well, that's going on with him there. And he did eventually return to Ireland. And that's where he died there in Dublin. So, Done Logaire. I don't know how to pronounce that, but yeah. And he has a lot of connections. 2056, that's nice. Yeah. And a nice picture of him. Wow. There he is. Joseph Holt. He said, oh, he's holding a sword. Oh, I don't know. Yeah. Well, it looks like. Let's see. Oh, Joseph Holt from RAH class collection, courtesy of RAH. It doesn't say. Yeah. But yeah, maybe the health of a sword. Yeah. Yeah. All right. And the next one is Joseph Belito Johns. And he was, his nickname is Moondyne Joe. So they have kind of a little rhyme here and a picture of him. There's another one up here. It looks like they've got lots to share about him. And they have his family. Doesn't look like the children have been added. Thought I saw that he had kids. Let's see. But they have some great images shared on the page. Bush ranger. And here's some other good snapshot of a newspaper article where he was on trial for horse stealing and escape. So he seemed to be getting in trouble quite a bit. They have more information here. And they have a newspaper article about another escape. So kind of an interesting guy there. That's great. I love it when there's newspaper coverage. Yes. Yeah. And lots of images. I love seeing the images of different ones. So born in Cornwall and died in Fremantle, Western Australia. Okay. John Red Kelly is next. We have a lot of family members for him on here. Siblings and then children and his wife. Moiglass Church is where he was baptized. And they have an image of a plaque. I have a bad theory about why he's nicknamed Red. I hope I'm wrong. Is it something to do with blood? Let's see. We have his conduct transcript on here. So it has all the details about what he looked like. How old he was. Oh, no, it's his hair. A ginger. Lots of great images again. And they have even the picture of the house on the farm at Beverage. And of course, he was the father of Ned Kelly, which is another famous notable personage. What is his, oh, I'm looking at the wallpaper. Those are shackles. Is that right? Yeah, looks like it. And he died of dropsy. Adema dropsy from heavy drinking. He was only 45 years old. Oh, they're pretty young to Absolutely. Hard life. Although I mean 19th century, I mean, you know, the man just wasn't there. Yeah. So from Ireland and died in Victoria. How many can, oh, his connections are pretty healthy. Yeah. 1773. Yeah. So this one though, look at his connections. $54,805. What? And Okay, he's my closest at 14. And he's your second closest at 20. And he's apparently I'm sorry, vice versa. He's your closest at 14. And my second closest at 20. He's apparently my sixth cousin five times removed. Nice. Probably the French Canadian lines on my dad's side. So Joseph Petit, Petit, Jack, Marco. Little Jack. We need, we need Greg. Greg and Meg. We miss him. He was court-martialed and sentenced to death for high treason. But his sentence was commuted to deportation to Australia. And so he was the only Canadian exile not to return as he said and settled and stayed in Australia. I wonder what the details of the high treason charge were. Yeah. So they have all 15 children. That must be part of the reason why he has such a high CC7 connection count. Yeah. Another great profile that somebody's worked hard on. Yeah. I really like the, the, the bolds on, you know, each part of the biography. Yeah. So, and he was in Montana for a while. It looks like. Cool. So he traveled quite a bit. So from Canada and died in Australia, 77 years old. Okay. And another Montana connection. This is Thomas Francis Meagher, born in Ireland and died in Montana territory. He was the acting governor of the Montana territory for a few years, it looks like. So he was the son of Waterford, Waterford's mayor. And he got the nickname Meagher of the Sword because of his fiery speeches. He escaped in an open rowboat and spent four days at sea and was rescued by an American whaling ship and taken to San Francisco. Wow. So this, he got, I mean, so San Francisco and then he made his way to New York. Lots, lots of traveling there. Central America, Nicaragua, Panama. He served in the Civil War. Brigadier General in the Company K, 69th Regiment for New York Militia, Irish Brigade, and died in the summer of 1867 in London. I mean, that amount of traveling is just, it's, it's significant at that time. It really is. Probably difficult. Yeah. So it looks like, and under the legacy section, it's noting that he even traveled to France in 1848 as a delegate of the young, for the young Irelanders and returned with a gift from the French, the first Irish tricolor flag. Oh, interesting. And Meagher County, Montana is named in his honor. So a really interesting profile there. And he has 1132 connections. It's very healthy. And another great picture. I like, I like the, the boxes that, you know, the show, the Sixth Session, who, who came before him, who came after him. Yeah. Yeah. Can I say, you know what the history of that was? Yeah. Okay. The next one is Kevin, I saw Odority, Odority, 236 connections for him, and also from Ireland and died in Queensland, Australia. So he was an Irish political dissident and was convicted after a third trial and sent to Australia. He was pardoned later in return to Europe where he served in Parliament. And then he went back to Australia and served at both houses of Parliament in Queensland. So they have the newspaper article clipping here. It was great. Again, another great profile, great job. He received a pardon, looks like. He graduated as a fellow of the Royal Royal College of Surgeons in 1857 and was one of the first presidents of the Queensland Medical Society. Died at his home in Torwood, Brisbane. All right. So next we have Mary Hadock-Raby. She has 2,324 connections and she was transported to Australia as a convict but became a successful businesswoman in Sydney, importing in mercantile business, looks like. Horse theft is what she was convicted of. So she arrived in Sydney in the Royal Admiral in October of 1792 and was assigned as a nurse maid in the household of Major Francis Gross. Hmm. So it looks like during the great Hawkesbury floods of 1806, her husband saved the lives of several people but he died and Mary took on sole responsibility for the care of seven children and control of a number of businesses and that's 1811. That's wow. Yeah. Very notable. Yeah. So she was said to be worth 20,000 pounds in 1817 and by 1820 owned a thousand acres of land and her and her daughters Celia and Eliza left for England and then returned to Sydney the next year. Hmm. So very successful businesswoman, well-traveled. She sounds very astute. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Can we look at the picture? Yes. We love pictures. There she is. Oh wow. So it's like a painting. Yeah. Of course it would have to be at that error. Huh. So neat. 35. Yes it is. She doesn't look like a business tycoon. She looks like grandma there but she doesn't look like she's a horseback either. I always have to wonder you know with horseback. Yeah. Where are you trying to go? What do you need to get to? What's the story behind that? Yeah. There's got to be a story for sure. Okay. James Ruse 1759 to 1837 Cornwall to New South Wales and he has 2,830 connections and he received the first grant issued in New South Wales and successfully farmed 30 acres an experiment farm proving that a new settler could feed and shelter his family with relatively little assistance to get started. So they have on here that he was a gardener, a farmer, and an overseer and they have his information that he married Susanna Norcott in South Pethyrwin Cornwall and his name at the time was entered as James Ruse with two O's instead of a USE. So it's kind of interesting the different ways that name was spelled over time. I think I do so many so often the early spellings are just it sounds like. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. So it looks like he was convicted of the crime of burglar slowly. I can't see without that word because our tongue twister breaking and entering the dwelling house of Thomas Olive and stealing their out two silver watches and value of five pounds. Sentenced to death but reprieved to transportation to Africa for seven years. He asked for a land grant grant because his sentence has expired expired but the governor did not have a record of the comic's length of sentence but he permitted Ruse to occupy an acre of land near Paramatta in 1791. He received the title for 30 acres of land. The first grant issued in New South Wales. He married Elizabeth Perry and they had it's like they had five children. It's quite a bit of information and I have a little timeline there. It was a witness in a court case and they have the information there from the newspaper article. So really a lot of information about his his life and then some research notes. Yay. And I think there was a picture. Let's go let's see. Yep. I think this is gravestone. Okay. And it looks like it's kind of in a covered area. Yeah. I've never seen one mounted. Well I'm looking at the one next to it but. Oh yeah. I think maybe I think it's a transcription of what is on the actual mm-hmm. Yeah it is. It's a transcription of what's on the tombstone. That's cool. Yep. Oh and I forgot to mention back here. Let's see which one was it. It was. I think it was or maybe it's one we haven't done yet. Maybe it was this one. Okay. We have William O'Brien Smith. So O'Brien is his dad's name and Smith is his mom's maiden name. So at some point he took on his mom's maiden name as his last name. So he was born in Ireland and died in Wales. So he's a second son of Edward and Charlotte and he took the name Smith in 1809 in order to inherit his maternal grandfather's fortune including a house in a state in County Limerick. And he had five children with Lucy Gabbitt and he was an Irish politician, a member of Parliament for Ennis in County Limerick. He was transported to Van Demen's Land, Australia because he was supported the Young Ireland Rebellion of 1848. He had a couple of children who were illegitimate in addition to the five that he had with his wife, looks like. Convicted of high treason because of the rebellion and then it was commuted to transportation. He spent several years in Tasmania and 1854 was permitted to return to Europe and received a pardon in 1856. I mean I think it's nice to be pardoned but I would also feel like oh you know like I had to serve the sentence anyway. It would be a little frustrating. Yeah another great image here. Yeah so like a lithograph. Smith O'Brien the Irish patriot. It's great. There was one of them I think it I think this is it. One of them was from the wiki tree challenge from before. Oh let me just nope not him. I meant to point that out at the beginning but I forgot. Sorry about that everybody. Let's see. Wiki tree challenge. I can't remember now but one of them is from the wiki tree challenge so anyway um oh I think we missed James Squire. Yeah so James Squire aka Squires born in England and died in Australia. He had three wives and 11 children married Martha Binton. Looks like he had that was his first wife. He was arrested for having stolen six fowls and tried in 1785 and then he was charged with highway robbery and sent into seven years transportation. And then here they have an article about his death from Sydney Gazette. Oh this is the one. I know there was one. So James was nominated by a SAG member to be part of the wiki tree and SAG seven and seven challenge. Excellent. Society of Australian genealogy. So that's it for the profiles of the week. Wow. I love looking at the profiles every week. I get so many good ideas because you know everybody has a different style for creating for you know all how they do the layout and all that. Yeah the touches on the profiles and I get so many good ideas. Yeah. We have a question from Chris Asher. Oh okay. How do you get those relations on the top of your pages? So I think that's part of the wiki tree browser extension isn't it? So it's just a setting when you go in there. Let's see options. Oh I'm lighting the wrong one. Sorry. I don't know why I always click that one instead of the wiki tree browser extension. Here we go. Profile distance and relationship. So right here so the profile tab in the wiki tree browser extension and then distance and relationship is turned on here. Oh I guess I should show my screen. Sorry. So I just clicked on the wiki tree browser extension up here in my browser and that pops up the options for the extension. If you click on the profile tab here and then go down here distance and relationship. And wiki tree browser extension is just a free extension that you can download and it just takes your wiki tree experience up. Up. Yeah. Yeah you know I was going to ask you about something that I noticed on your view and I just noticed on my view for the family on the right hand side which I do it was all green not pinks and blues. Why is this that a recent change? Let's see. So I was in reading mode so I think that's probably um oh maybe not. See that's what I'm used to seeing is the blues in the yeah I don't know that that is weird to know it's changing back to what it was. Right. I don't know I don't know why it went maybe it was just a huh I don't know. Okay well I don't know. Yeah. Browser extension. Crickiness. All right. So all right well we have two photos to look at. The photo theme for this month is family. Perfect. Yeah it is perfect. Let's see we looked at many of these last last week but here are our new ones. This is from Teresa Willis. I think Teresa is in the chat I think. And let's see is this big enough for her? No it needs to be a little bigger. So this is her grandfather, uncle, and her grandmother's three brothers in the late 1940s. I love the hats, the pipe, the tie, the neckties and just the neckties that those so wide. I know. And the expression on their faces. The little boy is kind of kind of got a jaunty look. That's great. I wonder I wonder where that was. Anyway and then this really interesting photo. Wow. I know check this one out. This is from okay this is Yoke's photo and this is let's see. The only this is a photo of a celebration of her great-grand-uncle. I'm going to try. Casper van Viedendal. Viedendal being employed by 25 years by the railroad company. It's the only photo I have of four of my ancestors. So great-grandparents top row third and fourth from the right. Let's see. So I guess that's these two people her great-grandparents and two great-grandmothers sitting first and second from left sitting first and second from left. I just it's just it's a it's wonderful this photo. That is that is one treasure. I know it looks like there's like some kind of inscript some sign commemorating. It's fascinating to look at everybody's like the clothing styles. Yeah the hairstyle. The chipped hat up there. The chipped hat where? Yeah up in the upper right hand corner. Oh yes yes yes it's great and these let's see when was was there a date on when this photo was? Yoke can you tell us when the what when this was taken? I'm just wondering these babies these two babies when we're when we're who are they and I suppose they might be gone by now too but 1890s maybe because of the yeah this is what it looks like. Yep very cool yes thank you Yoke keep those photos coming we love them and let's see we have a tip today all right yes let me go to that screen um and maybe make this a little smaller oh what 1909 oh thank you Yoke okay so the yeah those babies are no longer with us but yeah they might have made it into the the 21st century um excellent okay um so I realized that with my idea like it's your turn to share a tip and which sort of coincides with October it's perfect because October is the month of a Hacktoberfest yes when our community comes together and and um and works on you know developing fixes and ways to do things better so I really like that um it lined up like that so um today's tip is brought to you by um M. Cole um and it's about using auto citations for online books in Worldcat so Worldcat if you don't if you don't already know about it it's basically a place to go it's like a card catalog for the world so instead of going to your local library and seeing what they have right there in that physical brick and mortar building it allows you to search for a book um or really any sort of resource anywhere in the world yeah it's not a place to look at things online like google books or internet archive but you might be able to access something through interlibrary loan or I haven't used it extensively have you as oh yeah yeah yeah and like she's saying that's what I do is I um go there to get the citation what that citation would look like um because when I'm adding um sources to the source library right I find a free online book on internet archive or hathi trust or google books and I create the free space page for it I like to go there to get a good um yep full source citation about the the date and all that kind of stuff exactly and so here's how you do it um so this is a book that I'm using for a profile I'm doing right now you go to the little quotation marks are you seeing my pop-up I hope yep it's good okay um and I'll make this a little bigger um and yeah wiki tree prefers chicago style um but if you wanted to do it the citation in a different style you could select that from the drop-down menu and there it is just copy and um actually you can you don't even have to highlight for you and everything I know I mean the only thing that I could possibly add would be like a page the page number yeah and maybe the um the date I accessed it and yeah boom there it is um but yeah as I was playing around with it a little bit more um yeah just just go to worldcat.org and you can make a a profile um and it'll show you all the things it can do and I also noticed that there was a big a big pitch where is it there was something about genealogy and and yeah I think it was there it was there scroll back down a little bit you'll see oh there it is yep yep so for for us yes uh you know it it gives an idea of how you can use it yep so and I and I have used it for doing an interlibrary loan for books that I haven't been able to find on internet i5 I am able to see where the closest one is and right yeah it works great for that right right so yeah add that to your toolbox and um and thank you thank you for the tip em really appreciate it all right yeah um and some ancestors to celebrate um so we have two ancestors to celebrate today um one are the second great grandparents of Pat Miller George Miller and Margaret Farage um and they are one of her her most challenging dual brick wall wow yeah yeah um so she she does have I'm gonna go over to the the profile um she does have is this too big or is it the right size no it looks good okay um there's the marriage marriage record between these two nice yeah which is great to have they they both had made their way over to Ontario Canada Toronto Toronto and this was 1830 um october 25th 1832 um but it's just not sure where they came from prior to that marriage happening right um Pat believes that um Margaret came from Scotland and that um George had had been in Poughkeepsie New York before settling in Toronto um but it's it's just not clear and I thought that this was so um Pat did a great job of like with the research notes and um you know highlighting misperceptions errors um and I thought this was really interesting was her name really Farage it appears on a marriage record that includes the word marriage and carriage because George was a carriage maker wow uh so could a clerk have written the wrong name by accident maybe yeah so very interesting exactly so if you have any information or ideas please contact Pat Miller profile manager it is oh it's got the uh one of the coveted one profile ideas marriage one so have a look at that and um well even though we don't know exactly where they were from before they got married happy anniversary to Margaret and George and our second ancestor to celebrate um is Georgia Halstead Saturday um and she she passed away in October October 2nd 1946 um so this was Christine Miller's uh second great grandmother Georgia stood up in court in 1917 and told of her years of abuse by her husband the father of her three children as a result the judge granted her petition for divorce around the same time her daughter dumped her children at Georgia's doorstep Georgia took them in and raised them my grandma Jean was about around four years old when my her mom left her there she also she also became a comforting influence in my mom's life mom has vivid memories of Georgia despite being only six when Georgia passed away I so admire grandma
