Fayette County Naturalization Records starting ca 1857

Posted on 20 April 2018 by kate.challis

Probably the most underused records on FamilySearch are those that are not indexed and which seem to only be accessible via the Catalog (by the way, I always misspell this word as “catalogue.” I guess that’s the Brit in me shining through?). At RootsTech 2018 during the Town Hall Meeting, I learned that this is…

Anastasia Naiser

Posted on 11 April 2018 by kate.challis

I found a really cool naturalization record which shows the village of origin of an ancestor. Look! It even has her picture! This is my great great aunt’s daughter, Anastasia Františka Naiser (22 August 1879-24 June 1974). Here is her 22 August 1879 birth record, but not in Vratimov (written as Ratimov in her naturalization record), in neighboring…

Weekly Project Updates: 31 March 2018

Posted on 31 March 201831 March 2018 by kate.challis

Alright! This week was very productive, now that I am *actually* reviewing what I’ve been doing rather than basking in the very real, very fresh frustration of my first genetic genealogy puzzle. I will definitely be writing about this sometime soon, by the way. It is extremely interesting and I think it will help others…

How can DNA analysis be useful to Czech Genealogy in 2018?

Posted on 26 March 201831 March 2018 by kate.challis

I am having difficulty understanding how genetic genealogy can be useful for me *now*. I have a bunch of immediate (and distant) family that has tested on Ancestry. I’m in something like 77 DNA circles there, and so is my husband (different circles). I uploaded all of our (me, my husband, siblings, grandparents etc.) raw…

Weekly Project Updates: 24 March 2018

Posted on 24 March 201831 March 2018 by kate.challis

This week I was sucked in to a really fascinating story involving a divorce case for a Texas Czech couple. I spent a good portion of the first part of the week researching it, and the second part of the week talking with people about, “What now?” There are lots of ethics issues involved in,…

She was 26 when she was married in 1842, giving…

Weekly Update: 10 March 2018

Posted on 10 March 2018 by kate.challis

I decided for my own sake I wanted to keep a weekly record of all the stuff I am doing related to Czech Genealogy. This is really just my way of assuring myself that yes, I am accomplishing something, even though mostly it feels like I am not. These updates will be posted on Saturdays….
