Happy spring everyone!

I’ve been busy with college courses, web design clients & job hunting.  The little bit of genealogy research I’ve collected is Estacaille, maybe a tiny bit of Braniff and Judas.I’ve been fortunate the last couple of months to have received a CD of old Judas/Baker photos collected by a researching cousin who has since passed on.  I’ve also received an old photo album from an aunt in the same branch. I’m working towards scanning in the photos, but it’s taking a bit of work as the album pages are usually bigger than the scanning bed of my multi-function printer/scanner/fax.

I’ve just finished uploading my latest GEDCOM.  As far as I can see, the links from the media/photos/histories still works without any errors.  Let me know if you come across any errors, including any errors in the “living” flag. I’m constantly on the watch for this in the site and my offline database.

I updated the database software about a month ago.  No big surprises there, just minor adjustments.  I want to work on the actual database site design, but don’t look for it too soon as I’ll need to put on my thinking cap and learn how to customize the design coding.

I’ve just finished updating the database with my latest GEDCOM. This includes a major update of the Schmudlach genealogy which I’ve been discussing for the past year or so.  It looks like all the photos/documents still match to the proper IDs.

The “living” flags on some people may be in error. Please let me know of any errors you do find.  I work hard on the data to try and keep this accurate, but some records still slip through when I don’t have any death records.

The software has also been upgraded to the latest version.

 

Cousin Faustine passed away January 5, 2010 in Oliver, British Columbia. She was 90 years old and had been suffering from declining health the past few years.

 

I received a surprise in the mail yesterday – the copy of Johann Judas’s death certificate I ordered a month ago.  I wasn’t expecting to get it so fast – thank you Wisconsin Dept of Vital Statistics!

Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide me with the name of Johann’s parents like I was REALLY  hoping. But it does confirm the birth/death info and place of burial.

I can’t post an actual copy of the certificate, but I’ve transcribed it. You can view the transcription here: http://www.estacaille.org/genealogy/docs/CloozDeath_WI-Judas-Johann1908.pdf

 

This morning I received a phone call from my dad informing me that Allan Sellers has passed away. Al was the 2nd husband of cousin Sheran Lomon (nee Overton).
