For #familyhistoryfriday … in 1851 Margaret Ann Coulson was 5 years old and living at 115 Longwestgate in Scarborough, Yorkshire. (Thanks @findmypast !!) She’s my great-great grandmother. Today I’m packing and flying out to this spectacular location. Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 My grandma wrote this brief tribute to Benjamin Milam, my only ancestor to die in the American Revolution, at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse in North Carolina. Must have been very scary to go to war with a wife and five young kids. He was born in Oxfordshire, England in 1741. Who is done with school for summer? It’s over here in our area of Utah. ☀️ It’s #whatsupwednesday and I’m taking a short mental break from research (I hit it hard yesterday!). We took this picture on Mother’s Day before church. They are my priority right now even if I am constantly thinking about research… here’s a short list of things on my mind: Nothing super inspirational this Monday but I’d love to hear any of your international travel recommendations! Here’s what I’m doing: Just a tidbit from the audio I digitized yesterday. Great grandpa Ellis Blocher (1906-1990) talking about his grandpa, Nicholas Kauffman (1835-1930) who went to church with the German Baptists (Church of the Brethren) and was raised almost bilingual in rural Pennsylvania and Ohio and later died in Wenatchee, Washington. Ellis was born in North Dakota and died when I was about a year old in Olympia, Washington. For #whatsupwednesday … I’m knee deep in emailing and planning logistics for my trip! Last night I got a message back from the chairman of the Fylingdale’s Museum and Archive Trust, located in Robin Hood’s Bay inside an old Methodist church. My 4th Great Grandma, Elizabeth Bedlington was born here, and he said they have a Bedlington photo collection! Two 1/2 weeks until my research trip! Where has the time gone?? This morning I have been contacting archives in North and East Yorkshire and found this app from the East Yorkshire archive called “What was here?” With geo-tagged historical photos! Even including some towns of my ancestry like Nafferton, Wansford and Scarborough 😊 I love seeing how archives get creative with connecting people to the past and this is an excellent example.
