Who was EUGENE ALFRED ANDREE
the swedish grandfather I never knew...don't even know if he and I ever met. But the other day came across an email which told me ancestry found a document about grandpa Eugene. His Death Record....and sadly to say, not much more can be gotten from this record. No known SS# and nothing of his parents. Was told by my aunt Andi once in one of our many phone conversations, that grandpa Eugene was a DRUNK, a very Mean Drunk at that.....the cause of death...CIRRHOSIS of the LIVER! Two other little things noted are ~his being in the Navy in OHIO....and his leaving off the last letter "E" from his name.

Mama's Birth Record
Already knew mom was born in a Swedish Hospital, so I am sure due to the parents still not being citizens of the USA at this time they still kept close contact with the Swedish community.
This document doesn't says if mom was born AM or PM...only that it was about 6:15 ....late after noon or earily morning.
How Are We Related?
....this is mostly for my facebook friends.
There are so many of you, I have lost track of just how we are related. Do have you on a special listing of my friends ...most of mine were found on ancestry dot com
So I ask," DO YOU CONNECT WITH THOSE YOU FIND WHILE RESEARCHING YOUR FAMILY TREE?"
SARGENT family line
(close ties)
~jamie, william, and john (my three LUVs close to my heart, with 5 grands
~Butch, Kay, Paula, and Cheryl (Candance belongs to Paula, Donti belongs to Cheryl)
~Carol who is my mom's sis' only daughter
~Hank was once married to a sargent-my aunt as well as other Iron members

Then there are the 2nd and 3rd cousins of the Sargent line

Top 10 Ways to Get Your Creative Juices Flowing
This can be done no matter what is is you do or plan on doing. My area is what this blog is all about~GENEALOGY and doing the 10 things listed in this article can work in other areas of my life, as a Grandma, as a worker, as a women, ...the list can go on.
Top 10 Ways to Get Your Creative Juices Flowing
1) Taking time off. Well, I do have two days off in a row from my job. I catch up on sleep the first day, then catch up on my DVD movie collection, or read, mostly spending time on the computer surfing away with out the water, so to speak.
2) Getting Sleep ~a little or alot? Making sure my alarm is set, I just lay down once the body starts nodding off when and what ever I may be doing. But sometimes this poses a bit of a problem when there is so much need to get done or just can't seem to fall into the zzzz state of mind when hitting the pillow.
3) Mid-thought Stopping~ not always an easy thing to master, but gotta try. Can't let the mind go rambling on in all directions. FOCUS
4) Exercise for the Body ~does some good. I think I do my share of exercise on a daily bases...I have to walk the mile to work and back, walk the several block to catch a bus to go where ever it is I want to head out to ...so my vehicle of choice is the GOD given two feet ...
5) Morning Routine ~changing of....sometimes easier said than done, this is when I do my best research work...
6) STAYING Motivated, I like the idea of setting up a file for your desktop for side projects This may be of some help to organizing for me now ...
7) NOT Stressing About Being Truly Original
Nothing is original
Every new idea is just a mashup or a remix of previous ideas
8) Finding New Ways of doing Old Things is just another way of Thinking Inside the Box or just
building on those already-useful ideas in a whole new way
9) Set Weird Rules to encourage creativity so the need to set some weirder rules.
Use "Weird Rules" To Boost Your Creativity
10) PLANNING AHEAD for everything , there is a reason...but to get someing done, you have to take control and make it happen.Write it down , map it out, self brain storm...

Mystery of Grandma Winnie's middle name has now been....
Well finally! Got the proof of grandma's mysterious middle name. Got the only document so far which has it listed as .....GANNITA...actually I thought it was Guannita, with the G sounding more like a J...BUT, now we have the middle name.
Grandma was married, with Dad being around 10 yrs old and Aunt Jodie about 6 or 7 yrs old. I knew they had lived in Michigan, but now here is another city to research for the Sargent family. Grandma applied for the Social Security number just about 2 months after turning 28. And at the time was unemployed.
Already knew grandma's father's middle name was Turner, but now there is the question of her mother's first name...has it here as Mayne ....most records have her as Maymie...or some spelling close to it.
Now , after talking with one of my cousins I was told that Aunt Jodie was a little upset after grandma died when she couldn't find any thing in writing which would show grandma's middle name...so this is for you aunt Jodie.

Diseases of the Past (1800-1920) - Genealogy
Diseases of the Past (1800-1920) - Genealogy the last one on the list is what got me
1918 Worldwide Influenza: more people were hospitalized in WWI from this epidemic than wounds. US Army training camps became death camps, with 80% death rate in some camps.

Social Security # Application for Mayme Marsh
She doesn't give her full given name and used the Married Name Justus on the top line. She applied for the number about 19 yrs after her husband had died. By then the oldest child was married (grandma winnie ) and the other younger kids, Harold was 25, David was 23 and Margaret was 22
My question or questions would be , did Mayme actually have a jobduring her life time, being she signed and got her Number just at the end of the Depression. Did she spend the entire Depression with out the kids, and not married. Both her parents were still alive at this time-where were they.

where did the 1890 Census go?
Well now I know why I can't find my great grandma's framily in the 1890 census
1890 Census
NOTE: The 1890 census was mostly destroyed in a 1921 warehouse fire. Small fragments of the 1890 census survived and comprises less than 1% of the original schedules. Keep in mind that even the remaining census fragments do not contain complete counties, townships or districts. The loss of these census records has put a real kink in genealogy research during this time period, particularly when people seem to have begun moving around a lot more. It is much harder to pick up the trail of our ancestors when there is a 20 year gap between records. This would have been the first enumeration for Oklahoma so people with ancestry in OK will experience particular difficulty with this loss
Which 1890 Census Fragments Survived the Fire?
Alabama: Perry County - Perryville Beat #11 and Severe Beat #8.
District of Columbia: Q. Thirteenth, Fourteenth, R.Q. Corcoran, Fifteenth, S.R. and Riggs Streets, Johnson Avenue, and S. Street.
Georgia: Muscogee County - Columbus.
Illinois: McDonough County - Mound Township.
Minnesota: Wright County - Rockford.
New Jersey: Hudson County - Jersey City.
New York: Westchester County - Eastchester. Suffolk County - Brookhaven Twp.
North Carolina: Gaston County: South Point Township and River Bend Township. Cleveland County - Township #2.
Ohio: Hamilton County - Cincinnati. Clinton County - Wayne Township.
South Dakota: Union County - Jefferson Township.
Texas: Ellis County - J.P. #6, Mountain Peak and Ovila Precinct. Hood County - Precinct #5. Rusk County - Precinct #6 and J.P. #7. Trinity County - Trinity Town, and Precinct #2. Kaufman County - Kaufman.

Ideas from the GEM Lady!
some ideas from Genealogy Gems own Lisa Louise Cooke
GEM: Rethinking the Journal
10 journal topics for you to write about.
This would be a journal that you keep in your desk where you do your research, and can just pull out now and then and jot down your answers to these questions:
1. Why does doing genealogy matter to you? It is history about my family I never knew...and would like to know much more about.
2. Why do you think it will be important for generations to come? I believe everyone has a past, good or bad, learning how we came to be where, what, how and why from those before us is fasinating
3. What are your dreams? To have the "Paper" trail, documents of my blood line to prove the family line.
4. What is your hope for your future generations? that they won't wait so long to get involved with their own history.
5. What do you want your descendants to really know about you? That family really does matter.
6. What’s your average day like? most days, due to 3rd shift job, sleep mostly, but get in some genealogy work in the mornings, and really heavy on the days off.
7. What are the changes you’ve seen over the years? Alot, mostly the computer age...cell phones, I can remember the time of the mail...not email, coin phone booths, and making meals in the oven/stove with NO MICRO Wave!
8. What do you wish you had known at age 20? HA HA HA...that was over half my life ago...have to answer EVERYTHING!!!
9. What are Your predications for the future? The Rapture is just around the corner
10.“I remember when” entries phone booths, manual typewriters, home made bread (pies, cakes, cookies), fresh air, playing out side, etc.
These were all just off my head, what came to mind...thanks Lisa for the ideas...ds
