Henthorn Family Wiki Shutdown on 31 Jul 2018

My Henthorn Family Wiki will be shutdown on 31 July 2018. The company where I had this paid subscription is going out of business.

If there is something there that you want Download Now. I am not sure I want to build another set of webpages.

HenthornFamily - Wiki on Wikispaces

HenthornFamily - Wiki:

On 2 Jan 2018 I renewed the annual subscription for my HenthornFamily Wiki on Wikispaces.

My Plus account is for 2Gb of storage with a 20Mb limit for any one file.

The cost per year is $10.00 a month or $100.00 a year. I think this is a little high (they doubled the price when they raised the price). However, I am willing to pay what they charge because I don't want to go to the trouble of moving the information to another host.

The Visitor Counter currently shows 2320 visits to the homepage. That's a little disappointing considering the cost of maintaining the Wiki.

I am willing to host information shared by others. I don't believe anyone has taken me up on this offer.

Please encourage your genealogy friends to visit.

Broken Links

Broken Links

This weekend I worked on a project to find and remove broken links on my genealogy Wiki and on this genealogy blog. In the process I sent out a couple of messages to friends to confirm they'd shut down their genealogy related websites.

The project reminded me. If you are working on genealogy and you find something of interest that you plan to come back to you'd better not count on it. I suggest downloading a copy of the information of interest.

While on the subject of broken links. If you see something, say something.  That is to say, if you notice a broken link on something I posted, please help me out by telling me about it.  Thanks.

HenthornFamily Wiki

I did some updates to my HenthornFamily Wiki.  Most of the links on the Wiki take the viewer to web pages that aren't stored on the Wiki. I modified many of the links to open in a "new" window. This makes it easy to return to the Wiki after viewing the web page. As time permits I'll continue to work on this project.

If you are interested in my genealogy projects I encourage you to visit the Wiki. You can visit as a Guest with no need to "Join." If you are interested in collaboration you can contact me with a request for membership. Members can: edit pages, create pages, and upload files.

An easy way to find the Wiki is to use Google Search. In the search box enter, "HenthornFamily" with no spaces. When I tested, the first hit in the list took me to the Wiki.

Comments, corrections and additions are welcome. It's especially important that any broken links are reported and fixed or removed.

HenthornFamily Wiki

HenthornFamily Wiki

Today I am pleased to announce that the HenthornFamily Wiki is once again active and available to family and friends who are interested in my genealogy projects.

The WikiSpaces company discontinued "free" Wiki space.  Rather than lose all of the information I've been sharing I decided to pay for a one-year subscription at the "Plus" level.  I haven't thought much about what features this will entail.  Perhaps the most important aspect is that the subscription includes 2GB of space.

WikiSpaces Page

Did you know that the HenthornFamily Wiki is a collaborative Wiki? This means two things and perhaps more 1) Visitors can make comments and 2) they can post their own information. As far as I know no one has done this in the months that the Wiki has been available.  Therefore, I'm not certain how this works. I'm interested in working with anyone who has the time and interest to try out this idea.

Here's the link to the HenthornFamily Wiki:

HenthornFamily Wiki

P.S.
After I reactivated the Wiki I noticed there is a problem with PDF files that I stored on the Wiki. They don't display correctly.  I think you can download to your computer.  Before I contact the Help folks I'll need to refresh my memory about how files are uploaded and stored on the Wiki.  I wonder if the problem has anything to do with the fact that my account was inactive for a while since they stopped offering the "free" space.  I'm making no promises about how soon I'll deal with and resolve the problem.  I apologize for any inconvenience.

Adam and Susannah Henthorn - Descendant List

Adam and Susannah Henthorn - Descendant List

Today I'm announcing the completion of a project to recover the PAF 2.31 genealogy file of Adam and Susannah Henthorn and load it into RootsMagic6 on my laptop computer.

This file is named pafada on my computer and is listed as such in the capsule description associated with the My RootsMagic6 Files Tab at the top of the page on this blog.  The file consists of 6405 individuals in 2379 families.

I created a 16-page simple descendant list in PDF format to introduce five generations of the people in this file (more information is available to those willing to reciprocate) to include: Henthorn; Shaw; Riggenbach; Atkinson, Ollom and Gallaher.  The report includes an every name index.  I tried something new with this file.  I uploaded it to the HenthornFamily Wiki. You can find the document on the Henthorn page of the Wiki where it can be viewed or downloaded. Simply click on the PDF icon or the word "Download."

Conger Family Ahnentafels

Today I'm announcing the creation of thirteen ahnentafel charts for deceased Conger family researchers. The charts were produced using version 3 of RootsMagic.

Links to the ahnentafels, in the PDF format, can be found in the second Conger section of the Collateral Families page of the HenthornFamily Wiki.

A review of the charts will give readers a good understanding of where these major Conger researchers fit into the family tree.

There are charts for:

• Samuel Hays Conger
• Shea Smith
• Elijah Hagens Conger
• Charles Leslie Conger
• Charles Greenwood Barker Conger
• Franklin Barker Conger
• Ethel (Conger) Heagler
• Helen Maxine (Crowell) Leonard
• Joyce (Powell) Posey
• JoNelle (Wagner) Linnaus

Capt. John Baker & Elizabeth Ann Sullivan Descendant Chart

Today I added a link to the Baker section of the Collateral Families page of the HenthornFamily Wiki.

This five generation descendant chart is for the family of Capt. John Baker & Elizabeth Ann Sullivan. Prior to the fall of 2008 this chart was available as two webpages when I was using web space provided by AOL. I combined the two-page chart into one page and expanded the word "Cemetery" where necessary.

I'm pleased to be able to once again make this information available to visitors to my Wiki.

Centennial Reminiscences

Centennial Reminiscences

I posted two webpages (I prepared in 2002) to the Baker section of the Collateral Families page on the HenthornFamily Wiki. I'm pleased to announce that these pages, which were last posted on the Internet in 2008, are once again available. Thanks to researcher, Clarice (Eller) Stanley who provided a copy of the original newspaper clipping which I believe was written 137 years ago, in 1876.

If you are working on the Baker family of the Ohio River Valley these pages should be of interest.

The pages are:

• Centennial Reminiscences - A Talk With Col. Samuel Baker of Marshall County
• Comments About Centennial Reminiscences - A Talk With Col. Samuel Baker of Marshall County 

It is the opinion of this researcher that Col. Samuel Baker was Samuel Parr Baker who married Caroline L. Tomlinson.

Updates to HenthornFamily Wiki

Numbering Systems

I added two links to the Numbering Systems section on the first page of the HenthornFamily Wiki. One link points to the genealogy numbering systems page on Wikipedia and the other points to the Ahnentafel page on the Wiki itself.

Story by Mary Josephine (Henthorn) Bolerjack

On the Stories page of the HenthornFamily Wiki I added a link to a 48-page PDF file written by Mrs. Mary Josephine (Henthorn) Bolerjack in October 2005, titled, The Irish & The Dutch.

During one of my many computer disasters this file was misplaced. Yesterday I found it on a thumb drive that I paid a computer shop to load with data from one of my failing laptops. I converted the file to PDF yesterday to get it ready for uploading today.

Have you considered writing stories or recollections about your family? I urge you to undertake the project. If you don't do it, who will?  If you are willing to share your stories on the Internet I will include a link on the HenthornFamily Wiki.

Reference Materials

I'm working on the Reference Materials page on the HenthornFamily Wiki. Today I made the first entries on this page. I listed the eleven volumes, I own, of Family Research in Monroe County, Ohio by Catharine Foreaker Fedorchak.

As time goes by I plan to list other reference materials in my possession.

I'm willing to do limited look-ups for people I know.

Visitors to the Wiki are encouraged to list their own Reference Materials. If you need help to make the post, just ask and I will try to help out.

New Posts On HenthornFamily Wiki

Additional links to "Collateral Families" posted yesterday and today to the HenthornFamily Wiki. Look for "Cresap" and "Powell."

I'm enjoying how I can use the Wiki to present my information in a more organized (I hope) manner. I have files stored all over the Internet and I have links to the files of others. I discovered a few broken links to pages shared by other researchers.  I deleted the broken links from my posts. (You are always welcome to inform me of any broken links you encounter on my pages.)

John Henthorn (Hinthorn) & Margaret Downard

On 4 February 2013 I added a link to a RootsMagic website I created for John Henthorn and Margaret Downard. Descendants in this family all spelled the surname, Hinthorn(e). Living descendants live in McLean county, Illinois, around Independence, KS and on the west coast.

This RootsMagic website consists of 1166 files. The source file resides on my old desktop computer which has some issues. After the website was created I used the freeware program, 7-Zip, to compress the files into one Zipped file. I used my Gmail account to send this file to myself, thus in effect, moving the website components from the old computer to my laptop computer. I unzipped the compressed file onto the laptop and checked to determine whether I could open the website.

The RootsWeb Editor was used to create a folder for johnhinthorn on my FreePages account. Then I used the FireFTP application of Firefox to execute the batch upload of the 1166 files to the new folder.

The link to the website is on the Henthorn Family Websites page of the HenthornFamily Wiki.  

This project has been on my To-Do List for several years. In order to achieve this goal many components had to be in place and I needed to understand and master how to use various software tools.

If you'd like to go directly to the website, rather than visiting the Wiki, here's the link.

Cemetery Information

Years ago I created three cemetery reports for:

• Henthorn(e) / Hinthorn(e)
• Yoho
• Conger

The three reports are once again available on the Internet. Visit the Cemeteries page on the HenthornFamily Wiki.  At this time I don't intend to update or add to these webpages.

Use the the sidebar links to visit the Wiki.
