Hartshorn

I'm working on recording some information about the Hartshorn family of Wayne Township, Monroe Co., OH.  There was a link to Mobberly that got me interested  Many members of the family are buried at the Hartshorn Ridge Cemetery. FindAGrave records many of the burials.  Unfortunately many of the memorials don't list the parents of the deceased making it difficult to link the family members.

Has anyone else worked on the genealogy of this family?  Are you willing to exchange information?

William Dearth Family

Today I created a 65-page PDF about the family of William Dearth.  This report may be of interest to folks working on families in Monroe county, Ohio.  I'm working on Nalley and there was a link to Dearth. Before I knew it I was working on the Dearth family.

Included are the following families: Dearth, Nalley, Brister, Winland, Okey, Decker and Ogden. I am aware that researchers, Mr. Decker and Mr. Ogden are both included.

The report was shared with a limited group of people via a secret Henthorn Genealogy page that I created on Facebook some time ago. Access to the page is by invitation.

Nalley & Mobberly

I've been working on two projects. I'm adding information to my Yoho file about the Nalley and Mobberly families of Monroe county, Ohio.  There's also a Mobley family from that county.  Does anyone know if there is a link between Mobberly and Mobley?

The Tuttles with A.J. Lee Brittany Haas, A Few Old Memories by Hazel D...

Molly Tuttle singing lead on this wonderful Hazel Dickens song.

I've listened to the James King version many times over the years.

Today was the first time I heard Molly Tuttle sing it.

Updating Burial Month & Year

I like to include the burial month and year with cemetery place name information.  I imported records, shared by others, that didn't include this information.  That is to say, the place and name of the cemetery was provided without date information.

I'm working on a project with my Yoho file to extrapolate the month and year from the death information and add it to the burial information.

I'm able to find the problem records using the RootsMagic "Find" command.

I search for:
Burial date is blank and
Burial place is "not" blank.

It's a tedious process that will take quite a few days to complete.  The result will be better looking reports and improve reports of burial information.

Yesterday's Wine

When I had a genealogy website on AOL I featured the lyrics to this song on the homepage.

Here's Willie Nelson singing his song. There is a copy of the lyrics on YouTube with this version.  I have a cassette tape of George Jones singing the song too.

Recording your genealogy and family history
is a great way to partake of:

Yesterday's Wine.
