My Happy Day at the FHC

   Posted by: Amanda E. Perrine, MSLIS   in bond, family history center, hayman, knockholt

Yesterday I had a very productive day at the Family History Center.  My films on Knockholt, Kent, England parish records came in, allowing me to find baptism, marriage, burial, and even birth dates in some lucky cases on my ancestors and their families.

I was looking for a few specific items: the baptism of Emma Bond Hayman, her marriage to Charles Whitehead the of marriage of of her parents, Richard and Mary, and the burial date of her father Richard Bond.  I was hopeful that I would find Mary’s, maiden name, as well.

I was very surprised when I found out that Richard Bond 21 Feb 1841, as I had previously searched FreeBMD for his death certificate to no avail.  I searched again when I got home and found a Richard Bond, died Jan-Feb-Mar 1841 in the Bromley district of Kent.  I had done some research and knew Knockholt was in Sevenoaks district, except that I missed the part that said it was placed in Sevenoaks in 1969… oops.  Prior to that it had been placed in Orpington and prior to that, it was in Bromley (from 1837 – 1934).  A good reminder to do as thorough historical research of the towns my ancestors are from as I do for my genealogy research.

Although I did not see Richard and Mary Bonds marriage record, I did find baptismal records for their 14 children, including my direct ancestor Emma’s birth date as well (15 May 1811, christened 9 Jun 1811) – thank you to the overzealous minister who wrote in both!  I also found many burial and marriage records.  I now have a lot of records on order from the GRO, which I hope will arrive in the next two weeks and may give me Mary’s maiden name.  From there I will go back to the films to fill in my research.

Amanda's Excellent (Genealogical) Adventure (Day 2)

   Posted by: Amanda E. Perrine, MSLIS   in buffalo, family history center, fink, forest lawn, gress, halsted, hayman, whitehead

Last Thursday began in Buffalo, this time I was spending the day with my Grandmother. We headed out to Forest Lawn in between rain storms and hoped for the best. The man at the desk was tremendously helpful and found the location of Gottlieb Finck and Joseph and Sophia Gresz. We walked over to the Gresz stone first, as it was located right behind the office. It is a large, very nice stone. We then drove to the end of the cemetery and found Gottlieb’s, which matches his wife Barbara’s. We were trying to find Barbara’s (we had found it on our last trip, it’s in the same area). After a couple minutes of searching I returned to Gottlieb’s, as in front of it I had seen a granite Mason symbol. Hoping it belonged to him (maybe there was an arrow…) I started pulling the grass and weeds away… and found another tombstone for him! This one was older and had the same dates, but had his last name as “Fink.” Why does he have two stones? This is a mystery for another day…

After our adventure it was time for me to head back to Syracuse, as 3 of my FamilyHistory Center films had come in. I arrived before the volunteers and anxiously waited in my car. Upon the center opening I put in film one of Halstead, Kent, England parish records and hoped to find the baptismal record of Thomas Hayman. Much to my amazement, it was the first one! With that good omen, I kept reading the records, which are filled of my Hayman and Whitehead relatives! The man next to me was impressed by all the writing I was doing and I just said “He was the first one!!!” Small English CoE parish records are my new favorite genealogy records, as I have about 30 pages of written notes from the parish records and two bishop’s transcripts for the area. I just finished the second microfilm as they closed. I can’t wait to go back Wednesday to check out my Ontario land records and go over the parish films again.
Currently, I am trying to figure out how/if all of these people are related. The earlier records (early and mid 1700′s) were really difficult to read, so I skipped over them to the early 1800′s, and I have to feeling a lot of the answers I need lie in them. Following the lead of the man next to me on the microfilm reader I will be bringing a magnifying glass… I also have 2 more films that should be arriving soon, another of Halstead records and my Italy records, which will really be testing my skills.

Family History Center

   Posted by: Amanda E. Perrine, MSLIS   in casillo, eichorn, family history center, hayman, whitehead

On Thursday I make my second trip to a Family History Center. The first, many months ago, did not go well, as the volunteers weren’t very friendly and I felt like a nuisence. As such, I put off going back, but my experience Thursday was FANTASTIC!

The volunteers were very friendly and helped me with everything I needed. In a few weeks I should receive the following items:
Parish Registers of Halstead (Kent, England) 1561-1900
Bishop’s transcripts of Halstead 1813-1898
Abstract Index of books of Chippawa 1796-1955
Registri dello slato civile di Roccaromana 1866-1886
Hopefully, I’ll be able to push my Whitehead line back another generation or two with the Halstead items and find Charles Whitehead and Mary Ann Hayman’s marriage.
My Eichhorn line should make an appearance in the Chippawa index.
The Roccaromana, Italy records are rather scary for me, as this will really be testing my reading skills. I have my Italian words to know ready, now if only the Casillo’s I need are listed:-)

Family Lines: Maternal Branches

   Posted by: Amanda E. Perrine, MSLIS   in bond, casell, casillo, crosshein, donufrio, eichorn, fink, fleeman, gress, hayman, izzo, tross, weiss, whitehead, wise

Thank you to Becky for this wonderful idea!

I mostly research my mother’s family, as my father has an aunt and uncle who have traced a lot of his line. Here is where I am at currently. As you can see, I am currently trying to find many of my immigrant ancestors’ parents. I am hopeful that next week when I go to Buffalo, I will find obituaries that assist in this. Please leave a message if you would like further information:-)

Both Alfred and Marco legally changed their name to Casell. I am not entirely sure who Marco’s parents are, these are the names I have found so far. According to my grandfather’s family tree, Marco was from RocRoma, Caserta, Italy. No one in my family has been able to find this place, however, familysearch.org has many Casillo’s listed under Roccaromana, Caserta, Italy, so this is a possible search option.

Whitehead birth certificates arrived

   Posted by: Amanda E. Perrine, MSLIS   in beeching, bond, hayman, whitehead

I ordered a few birth certificates from the GRO a couple weeks ago and they arrived Saturday.

I am most excited about the one for my great-great-great grandfather Charles Whitehead. Based on census records and his Ontario death record, I knew he was born about 1840 in Kent, England. I assumed it was in Halstead, located in the Sevenoaks district, as this is where his family lived at the time of his birth, but I was unable to find him in the index. Recently, I realized I could search for a last name without a first name and up popped “Male Whitehead” born 1840 in the Sevenoaks district. Luckily it is him! Born 10 Oct 1840 in Halstead to Charles and Emma (Bond) Whitehead. This also confirms Emma’s mother being Mary Bond who was with them in the 1861 census (she was listed as grandmother to the head, which is incorrect. Should be mother-in-law).
I also ordered the birth certificates for his two sons born in England before they immigrated to Canada. Benjamin was born 31 Oct 1866 in Halstead and Joseph was born 2 Nov 1869 in Halstead to Charles and Mary (Hayman) Whitehead.
If only I could find Charles and Mary Ann’s marriage certificate.
Listed on the same page as Joseph was an Elizabeth Whitehead, born in the same quarter, same district and I found her death record about a year later. Wondering if she was his twin, I ordered the certificated. Turns out she was born 10 Nov 1869 in Shoreham to Joshua and Elizabeth (Beeching) Whitehead. She later died 22 Oct 1870 from convulsions from teething. As far as I know, there is no relation, but if anyone is related, let me know and you can have the certificates. I like knowing that her short life is now documented and here for a relative to find.
