The sign had a quote about the importance of education from London Ferebee, a formerly enslaved man. There was also information on the sign about the penalties under North Carolina law for enslaved people to teach other enslaved people, as well as a bit of info about schools that the formerly enslaved attended
If you have a chance to visit Fort Raleigh - I highly recommend taking the time to explore the Freedom Trail and its interpretive displays. https://www.nps.gov/fora/learn/historyculture/civil-war-and-freedmen-s-colony.htm

I spent most of the morning at Fort Raleigh NHS. What impressed me the most was the presentation of information about the Freedmen's Colony on the island from 1862 - 1867.
Along the Freedom Trail (about 1 1/4 miles one way) are several interpretive signs with information about the settlement and the people who lived there. With each sign, is a silhouette symbolizing one of the stories being told. This is from the "Freedom to be Educated" part of the trail. 1/2

Sunrise this morning at Nags Head. The patterns in the clouds were wonderful!
Definitely been a while since I've photographed a sunrise. Glad I've got a couple of days to practice before the workshop starts.

Only a genealogist would try to figure out if her maternal grandfather who was a Boy Scout Scoutmaster for troops in Brooklyn, Queens, and Nassau Co, NY in the 1920s-1950s, ever took any of his troops up to the Boy Scout camps established by the Boy Scout Foundation of Greater New York in Sullivan County in the 1920s - because the land for the Boy Scout camps is very close to - if not includes - land owned by her 4th great grandfather son in the early-mid 1800s 🙂

@npub14hw…qnkp I love it - for me it's the AI tool I find most helpful and easy to use. Have fun searching,
If your people lived in places with locked records on FS - you'll get different results is you run full text search at a FamilySearch Center or affiliate library- then the full text search includes the locked collections!

@npub1zvj…wvea I love it! I'm finding things I had no clue existed - much less were digitized. I access from https://www.familysearch.org/search/full-text - usually put the name I'm searching for in " " and then use the filters to narrow by location. I haven't dared use pro tools to clean up my tree - it's a mess because I use it for everything from serious research to building out trees for DNA matches 🤣

2024-10-09 18:00:16

So is anyone else finding new collections on FamilySearch Full Text Search with previously unknown info about your families?
I find by running searches every few months I'm finding new records 🙂
#Genealogy #FamilyHistory

2024-10-09 17:55:32

So I did a few searches using the FamilySearch Full Text Search - just to see if anything new pops up for Ralph Hankins and/or Samuel Dougherty. Ralph's wife was Mary Dougherty.
Court records galore for Ralph Hankins in both Hunterdon County, NJ and Ulster County, NY - as well court records for Samuel Dougherty in Ulster County, NY.
Not sure if I'll find anything in any of them that helps identify the relationship them - but so many records that who knows!

Context matters!
On FindAGrave - the photos don't show the relationship between the graves.
According to the cemetery - the Sernberger stone is in block 31 Lot 8 - the Johnson stone is in block 31 lot 1.
In reality - the stones are very close to each other - which explains an 1890s deed between DeWitt Sernberger and the estate of Rufus Johnson - for payment for two spaces in the Sernberger plot for Rufus Johnson and his wife Annette (Sernberger) Johnson.

December 31, 1920 - my grandparents Frank Hankins/Evelyn Call wedding at her parents home in Stafford, Genesee County, New York
According to Alden Jones (ring bearer on the left) - the photographer loaded too much flash powder into his flash - so there ended up being a large black streak of soot on the ceiling

CMOS's Instagram account isn't particularly active - so I'd love to give them a boost for posting a photo of Gus this month.

I love CITY DIRECTORIES!!!! Been hoping to find evidence that two families knew each other in Clinton, Iowa. Found both families in the 1901 Clinton, Iowa city directory. One family lived at 415 4th Avenue - the other at 418 4th Avenue. I think they knew each other!

I digitized my grandmother's School Friendship book from 1926, that includes info and photos from her time at Thornton High School in Iowa, Penn Yan Academy in New York, and Meeker's Business Institute in Elmira, New York.
Of course like so many family sources - there are cryptic references I'd really like someone to explain to me. Like why Lawrence Hurley, perhaps one the faculty at Meeker's Business Institute, is identified as "Instructor in Parlor Petting"!!!!

Wonderful painted iron work on a window in New Orleans
Photo taken in 2018 - I've been working my way back through unedited photos - just added photos from 2018 to my Lightroom catalog

Susan Hankins 1864 Tax Receipt - $ 142.89 - I think it says for land and dog tax - presumably for property at Hankins, Sullivan County, New York
Finding the tax law in 1864 for New York just got added to my never ending to do list

Finished reading Philippa Langley's The Princes in the Tower: Solving History's Greatest Cold Case. Really enjoyed it. Langley presents the latest research into the disappearance of the King Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York from the Tower. She makes a compelling case that the boys survived the reign of the Uncle Richard III.

Given the number of emails I'm getting from companies I haven't heard from in years - I'm planning on celebrating Cyber Monday as the day to unsubscribe for mailing lists I didn't know I was on 😀

I've created a PDF version of the Hankins-Ross family photo album from the 1860s and 1870s - and have added it to the Internet Archive. Next steps are submitting it to Allen County Public Library, and the Family Search library. I've also contacted 3 local historical societies to see if they would like copies. Hopefully other descendants of the families will find the photos/information in one of the places I'm putting it

Gotta love old newspapers!
Just found an article about a divorce for Llewellyn Hankins in Butler County, Ohio. He was my great great grandfather's second cousin. More importantly - his father is rumored to have taken the family bible from New Jersey to Ohio in the 1850s . . .
This is one of the few things other than census records I've found for the family

Found an affidavit provided by my great great grandfather Lucas W Hankins from 1883 in the Civil War Pension file I received this morning. I'm seeing affidavits and witness signatures from people I know were neighbors and relatives of my family in both Hankins, Sullivan County, NY and Manchester, Wayne County, PA

@npub17ut…rzd9 @npub1fwt…7axy Thanks. My husband @npub124z…0z7x does the lighting for me - he's been working on Vermeer and Rembrandt lighting. Windows are all wrong in our family room for window light - so we do it with strobes
