I remember a time when I would get so overwhelmed with the myriad of chores that needed to be done that I would just sit and stare. One such time, my brother was living with us and he said a phrase that has motivated me since that time….He said, “Diane, just start!” He was right! When I started, things started falling into place and the momentum continued until everything was done.

When the material arrived we had a houseful of company. I was frustrated that I could not view it any sooner. What is very helpful are the pedigree charts that you include…I do want to continue with more work…I still have more lost ancestors. You may be doing this for some time!
When we finish one line then another and another. I will appreciate a fully complete pedigree chart for as far as we can go…You do a wonderful job. I am having fun learning about them, thanks to your diligent efforts.

Dear Family
Today I got a packet from a researcher I had hired to find what he could on your 4th great grandparents who came from Germany. You can’t believe what I received!!
Last year I had been frustrated for some time. I had done all I could in the United States and needed to go back into Germany. I can’t read German and so I hired a professional a considerable amount of money to locate Conrad Geis and Theresa Schuler (I think she is the Jew) I knew Conrad was born in 1810 and Theresa was born in 1807. I knew they came to New York in about 1837 and moved to Chicago about 10 years later. He was the first furniture dealer in Chicago. My professional could find nothing!!
One day I got on the Trax. There was only one seat left. I sat down next to a gentleman and started telling him all my family history problems. Why?? I had never seen him before in my life?? He said “Maybe I can help you.”
This was a different genealogy researcher .
I told him I needed all the help I could get.
About four months later he calls me up to tell me he has found the parents, brothers and sisters, and grandparents of Conrad Geis in Wirtheim, Germany in Catholic Church records.
Just last week he calls me again to tell me he has found six more families connected to Conrad Geiss. I was so happy I cried. Today I got the package. 58 new persons were found who are directly related, with an additional 22 persons of the same name in this little Catholic Church in Wirtheim, which means they are most certainly related.
Do these people want to be found?? Yes. They are the reason there was only one seat on that Trax.
Love, Mama

Recently one of our researchers delved into Danish records which had no parish registers. Not having birth, marriage and death records can bring quite a challenge when searching for ancestors. – Continue Reading: http://www.pricegen.com/our-researchers-are-the-best/

And now we pick up again with the law sliding antics of Lawson. Shortly before his death in 1931, Lawson applied for a confederacy pension in Oklahoma for the Civil War military service. But, remember, Lawson was born in 1862 so he would have had to been a gun toting toddler in order to have participated in this war.
Lawson applied for this pension under the name of Richard N. Earls and was eventually approved. Richard N. Earls, the one being impersonated, was actually Lawson’s half cousin and he DID participate in the Civil War and also received a pension in Texas.

For many years the Herman’s German village of origin was unknown. His father, Joseph’s military record was consistent in stating he was from Koln, Germany. A search for records of Joseph’s birth in Koln produced nothing. It appeared that saying he was from Koln was like someone saying they were from Dallas, when in actuality the town was in the general vicinity.

Herman was born 17 June 1906 in Christopher, Franklin County, Illinois to Joseph Steinbuchel (Steinbeigle) and Elizabeth Ann Wallwork. Both parents were immigrants with Joseph arriving from Germany around 1883 as a young boy of about five, and Elizabeth “Lizzie” arriving 6 June 1887, about 9 years old, on the ship Alaska. Elizabeth came with her mother, Jane, brothers Joseph and George and sister, Victoria. Their father, Joseph Wallwork, came a month later in July. – Continue Reading Here:
