A BIT ABOUT ME
Solving puzzles has always been exciting to me. As a young woman, I loved the feeling of accomplishment that came after each piece found its place, and the picture revealed itself to me. With the passage of time, that curiosity and exploration has evolved into family history. With over 30 years of experience as a hobby genealogist, I received my Genealogical Research Certificate from Boston University in the Spring of 2023. I have researched for family, friends and high profile clients over the years and will adhere to the Genealogist's Code of Ethics, as established by the Board for Certification of Genealogists in Genealogy Standards (Nashville: Turner Publishing, 2019).
SOLVED RESEARCH PROJECTS
Unlocking My Own Family History Mysteries
DAWSON COLEMAN HARRIS
Census, land and probate records were key in finding the father of Dawson Coleman Harris of Humphrey's County, Tennessee. Dawson, who married Elizabeth, died in Bourbon County, Kansas on June 26, 1876. Name recognition combined with records played a key role in deciding the correct father. A fully sourced proof argument, available for purchase, confirms the paternal ancestry of Dawson Coleman Harris.
RICHARD HAMBLIN
Richard Hamblin, of Shaw Cum Donnington, Berkshire, England and of Speen was born in the early 1780s and died in 1844. Substantial research in parish registers, bishop's transcripts, court records and name recognition give direct and indirect evidence as to the parents of Richard Hamblin, who married Leah Hamblin in Shaw-cum-Donnington parish in 1813. Fully sourced, it leaves little doubt as to the father of Richard Hamblin, now available for purchase.
ELIZA BRADEN
Research in censuses, probate records, military pension files, tax lists and a family bible was key to determing the correct father of Eliza Braden, who married Henry B. Johnson on April 24, 1836 in Scott County, Virginia. The discovery was confirmed by genetic matching of known descendants. A fully cited proof, available for purchase, may help in your family discovery of the Braden family. With extensive circumstantial evidence, as well as both indirect and direct evidence, the paternal lineage of Eliza Braden was brought to life.
