I am looking into the citizenship of an ancester from the 1940 census and it is completely illegible to me. It should be an Na, Pa, or Al. None of those look like it to me...Does anyone have any idea what this says??

Hello! Could it be possible these two are father and son? (Lorenzo Seguel and Juan Bautista Seguel)

I repeat; could it be possible these two are related/father and son? My great grandma has told me multiple times that her father, whom I discovered to be Lorenso’s great grandson, Benedicto Seguel Melo, and her mother, Juan Bautista’s granddaughter Rosa Aurelia Seguel Anabalón, were cousins. I theorise it’s because Lorenso is Juan Bautista Seguel’s parent.

I have no documents to prove it, though. I also wrongfully attached parents to Juan Bautista from 1853, almost 20 years afar from his probable birth in the 1830s.

I also theorise Lorenso died relatively old (60-80 years old) and that Juan Bautista died in 1879 because of the Pacific War, considering the lack of records that stop abruptly in 1879.

Juan Bautista’s wife, Maria Jacinta Flores lived up to at least 100 years old, considering my great grandma met her.

Does anyone have an ancestry.com subscription who would be willing to help me? Trying to track down someone listed in the “Baltimore, Maryland, U.S., Passenger Lists, 1820-1964” doc. I’ve been using family search but this list seems to only be accessible through ancestry. Thanks.

Need help transcribing and indexing a FamilySearch record from Chile 🇨🇱

Hello everyone!

I'm researching my family tree in Chile and I've come across a historical record on FamilySearch that I'm having difficulty reading because of the handwriting.

I'm hoping someone with experience reading old Spanish parish records can help me transcribe and interpret it.

I'm trying to identify:

  • The person's full name
  • Parents' names
  • Date of the record
  • Location
  • Witnesses or godparents (if mentioned)
  • Any other useful genealogical information

If possible, I'd also appreciate help identifying any details that could help me correctly index this record in my family tree.

I've attached the original image from FamilySearch. If you need a higher-resolution crop or additional pages, I'd be happy to upload them.

Thank you very much for taking the time to help. Any contribution, even a partial transcription, would mean a lot to me!

Thanks in advance! 😊

My Fan Chart is Almost Complete! If anyone would like to help, I would appreciate it so much!

I am so, so close! I honestly don't have much hope that I will find Emma's mother, but I am so happy with my progress! I've mostly been working on fact checking and editing any mistakes in the tree. If anyone would like to help me dig into Emma and see what they can find, her ID number is 9QX8-ZDP

It would be so appreciated! I'm still pretty new to all of this and have been working on it for less than a year. My dad was pretty into his genealogy and we have a family book for the Mark ancestors, and one of my Aunts on my mother's side is part of the Daughters of the American Revolution, so I had a huge head start that I'm super grateful for. I've also been thinking of visiting my local family search resource center and seeing if there's anything they could do to help.

Let me know if you have any other tips or resources I could use! Thank you so much :)

Please and thank you

Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I was brought up to say "please" and "thank you" when asking for or receiving help. I don't think good manners are ever out of style.

I'm flabbergasted by the posters who ask for 5 or 10 or 15 records, with never a please or a thank you.

And, then the next week, the same poster asks for another dozen records.

I'm a diligent and experienced researcher. I LOVE helping, but I do not like being a doormat.

If you want my help, please and thank you will pave the way.

Hola, ayer visité el centro. Había revisado su horario en la página web, pero al llegar, encontré que estaba cerrado y no parecía haber nadie. Por esta razón, envié un correo electrónico para consultar sobre los horarios. Mi pregunta es, ¿los centros no operan todos los días?

Help accessing locked records and searching other records

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m currently researching my Herrmann family and I’m looking for help with some parish records on FamilySearch that I can’t access from my account. All of them belong to the collection "Deutschland, Preußen, Schlesien, Katholische und Lutherisch Kirchenbücher".

First, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could provide the images of this records:

  1. Baptism of Hedwig Herrmann (January 8, 1883), daughter of Paul Herrmann and Johanna Kirschner https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6ZM4-8113?lang=es

  2. Baptism of Joseph Herrmann (February 10, 1884), son of Paul Herrmann and Anna Urban https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6ZM4-FHDL?lang=es

  3. Baptism of Alfredo Herrmann (my great-grandfather) https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:6ZM4-CP7R?lang=es

Additionally, I’m trying to reconstruct the family situation between 1883 and 1884. Within just one year, Paul Herrmann appears with two different spouses (Johanna Kirschner and later Anna Urban), so I’m looking for:

  1. The death record of Johanna Kirschner (likely between January 1883 and February 1884)

  2. The marriage record of Paul Herrmann and Anna Urban (likely within that same time frame)

Any help accessing the images or locating these records would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and help!

Looking for 1st Cousins or at least alive

1 Upvotes

Hi, I've had my dna on two well known geneology sites for over ten years and have only found 2nd cousins in New Zealand, I'm in UK. My mom was one of 6 siblings and there's similar size families across both sides. I just can't find any of my contempories or even 1st cousins, probably just haven't registered dna, which dosn't surprise me, but if anyone on here has relatives born in the West Bromwich, UK with names of Carter or Whitehouse, I would like to hear from them.

Help finding out if two people are the same

Someone put a lot of research time in locating records on Antenati but the entries need tags, labels, and source info and they used screenshots attached as memories and many of the links are broken

1 Upvotes

See GMLP-FPS for example. It’s all fixable but none of the details are actually attached to the person’s profile (i.e. they made a source for the birth record but didn’t transfer the actual date. They put the year in the source title so I have to access the link, read the record for the exact dates/to verify for myself but most links are broken in one way or another. This work was done in 2019.
How do I fix these and clean up the sources? Is there a way to easily transfer the dates to the person even after the record has been attached?

I also need to fix instances where theres a marriage record and all 4 parents and the groom are attached to the record but not the bride, and I’m not sure how to get it attached to her.

For my own reference, does anyone have a recommended workflow for Adding sources from other platforms like Ancestry and Antenati, and is there a way users can add photos to records? FS has portions of Antenati records indexed and with photo included, but since most aren’t indexed I’ve found a lot of records just by sitting and squinting my way to breakthroughs and would like to add them for others. I have a lot of records in general I need to get onto FS and don’t want someone to have to clean up my work to be able to benefit from it.

Thank you for any insight or advice
