Genealogy's Star: What if the National Weather Service was in to …

May 15th, 2012
I have always wished that as an attorney, I could have the percentage of correct predictions of the Weather Bureau and stay in business. Last week was classic example, we had a less than 10% chance of rain and it poured. A couple of weeks before we had well over 80% chance of rain at it came, but a day or so later than predicted. I know, the weather is terribly unpredictable. But it seems that if you are in the business of predicting the unpredictable you should be a little more accurate or find a new line of work.

So what would happen if the Weather guys were genealogists?

14 May 2012
Genealogy Prediction for Mesa, Arizona. James Tanner.

Tonight: Heavy parish records in German, with a 10% possibility of finding the ancestor.

Tuesday: Clear copies of genealogy records from the 1920s with a small chance of uncovering a lost ancestor.

Wednesday: Increasing chance of finding a third generation ancestor with light copies of old records possible.

Thursday: 50% chance of finding your ancestor in Ancestry.com increasing to 60% if you look in FamilySearch.org.

One of the things that is attractive about doing genealogical research rather than trying to predict the weather is that in genealogy there is no predicting what will happen or where you might find your ancestors. It is just this unpredictability that attracts, you can really never get bored of genealogy because you may find what you are looking for with the next turn of the page or click of the mouse.

If you live in Mesa, Arizona the weather is highly predictable, 99% of the time. For example, the next week can be summarized in three words: Clear and Sunny. We know what the temperature will be tomorrow and what it will be next week and the week after that: hot. How how is not really that important once the temperature gets over 100 degrees.

But every time I walk into the Mesa Family History Center I have no idea what I will be doing. Not even a vague idea. I could be looking for a small town in the Ukraine or a farmer in Mississippi. I could be trying to figure out why a program doesn’t seem to do what the patron expected or why the computers can’t connect to the Internet. I might spend hours looking at census records or helping decipher Old Spanish.

One thing I do know is that I will “win” more often than I lose. When I practiced law, the judges and the juries decided my cases. Now, in genealogy, I have a completely different life. I no longer have to worry about winning or losing. I always win. Almost without fail, every time I help someone it is positive experience. I guess there is way to predict some things, like a 90% plus chance of good experiences in genealogy!

A Genealogy Hunt | Part 683d – Brunhammer Doherty Genealogy …

May 11th, 2012
Good Day,

The Genealogy of the Doherty Family Line continues with my pursuit of the gathering of all documentation that I can get my hands, or PC, on.

GGG-Grandparents Philip and Margaret (née Doherty) Doherty’s third child and daughter was gg-grandaunt Mary Ellen Doherty. She was born 14 January 1868 and baptized at St. Peter’s Church, in Wilmington, Delaware on the 19 January 1868. This time the Doherty Family surname is spelled Dougherty in the Church Register.

She was baptized on the same day with two other children. One of the children is Margaret Ann Dougherty, daughter of Patrick and Ann (née Coughlin) Dougherty. Apart from having the same entered last name, Dougherty, as gg-grandaunt Mary Ellen Dougherty, and being baptized on the same day, this Margaret Ann Dougherty was born on the same day, 14 January 1868.

The inserted image is the Page of the St. Peter’s Church Register including the birth and baptism information of gg-grandaunt Mary Ellen Doherty. Note that her name in Latin is written “Mariam Ellen”.

Now the questions are:

1. Was the Priest/Scribe, who entered the detailed information into the Church Register, aware of the two spellings of the surnames Doherty and Dougherty?

2. Was a spelling mistake made by the Priest/Scribe regarding the surnames?

3. Was Patrick Dougherty’s last name truly Dougherty, or was it Doherty?

4. Could have Patrick Dougherty been related to either ggg-grandfather Philip Doherty or ggg-grandmother Margaret (née Doherty) Doherty?

My transcription –


1868

January

19 Bapt Mariam Ellen filiam Phillipi Dougherty
et Maragareta Dougherty, natum 14th est Sponsores
Gerald Kelly et Birgetta Hayes
M.A. McGrann?

And my attempt at translating the Latin script –


1868

January

19 Baptized Mary Ellen daughter of Philip Dougherty
and Margaret Dougherty, born on the 14th
Sponsors Gerald Kelly and Brigitte Hays
M.A. McGrann?

The above inserted image is the actual page of the Church Register. I downloaded it from Item 4 of the microfilm FHL [1787748].

If you have any comments, questions, thought, or ideas please feel free to contact me.

Enjoy,

Jim
