What's the most unusual place you've found information on your ancestor's birth date?

@dannyoconnell6608 Год назад

A souce I have used is Obituaries. Not for the person who died but for grandchildren. If you find even one that lists names of grandchildren, whether the person you are looking for is in the list or not gives you a before or after. If you find 2 grandparents, one naming him & one not, that gives you a time period. And remember there are 4 (or more) grandparents.

@kathryncarlson5186 Год назад

Hi - love your videos. I have found birth dates on military enlistment paperwork if the ancestor lived in the 1900's and enlisted. I've also found as contact information spouses I wasn't aware of. Right now I am in pursuit of my grandparents' marriage record. I know it should be in at least 1923 because their first child was born in March of 1924 ... and the search goes on.

@LisaLissonAYMC Год назад

Yes, Military enlistment papers are a good source, too! Best of luck in the search for that marriage record!

Thanks!

Lisa, did you mention school records? I found school records for my great great aunts & uncles where the teacher listed their actual birthdays!

@ajalicea1091 Год назад

Thank you for that information about the school records I never thought about it

@LisaLissonAYMC Год назад

I didn't mention those, but you are absolutely right! School records can be a good source, too.

@annw1395 Год назад

Good tips. How can I locate a church in their area (in USA), say in 1700s and 1800s? Is there a way to search these online? (I live on the other side of the country.)

@LisaLissonAYMC Год назад

Reach out to the local historical and genealogical societies. They will be aware of resources for that information in their area.

Helpful but what if one ancestor was born in Hamburg (Germany) circa 1840s and one can't find out where his father was born or where? English surnames. On Death certificate & naturalisation (Australian) papers mother's name is different.

@tracylynn1461 Год назад

if only someone could answer this but 47 years and 20 plus years of running in circles and I have not been born yet:/ I'm getting desperate, I'll be dead before Im born it seems.. and seems to be a common thing cause my mother and grandmother or her husbands don't have a birth certificate that I can find either..

@feliciagaffney1998 10 месяцев назад

@@tracylynn1461 I think I only have birth certificates for myself and my parents. Why do you need birth certificates? It is a fairly recent record type.

My grandmother burned the family Bible before i was born. I was told she didn't want us knowing about our family history.

@LisaLissonAYMC Год назад

Oh, no!!!

@lightyagami3492 Год назад

Thats a shame. Hopefully you had ancestors that served in the military because sometimes bible records were used to prove a woman was married to a veteran or that child was the son or daughter of a veteran.

My grandfather was an Italian who immigrated to New York City by himself. I put his birth place and everything into ancestry and found nothing. :()

@feliciagaffney1998 10 месяцев назад

Sometimes too much info is a bad thing. Documents can be imperfect, transcription can have errors, handwriting can be difficult to read, names can change with immigrants, names can be shortened ( ie initials only for first/middle) as well as abbreviated... there's many reasons things don't show up. Sometimes you have to start with just a little information or partial information and narrow down from your hits. What if someone put a different birthplace for him? What if his age was recorded wrong? Don't give up! ❤

@Gio_Vanni6143 9 месяцев назад

Try Ellis Island, Italian Genealogy Group has databases, and the NYC archives have been digitized, although the search feature is not complete yet. I am guessing they have to work on different ways to search.

@ScaryYolk 9 месяцев назад

@@feliciagaffney1998 I agree he could have had wrong information listed when he arrived in nyc .I still have pictures of him anyways.

@@Gio_Vanni6143 i've been browsing through the links from the Italian research links tab. Haven't found anything yet but I hope I do its just some of the sites they link are confusing to navigate.

@feliciagaffney1998 9 месяцев назад

@@ScaryYolk but what I'm saying is, run a search with fewer details. Less is often more in genealogy research. Use wildcard symbols in your search in case of different spellings. There's many ways to tackle it.
