Most of us have secrets not shared with anyone, or if we do choose to share it is with a select few. Part of the fun of studying genealogy and family history is the discovery of new information and uncovering old secrets, and trying to ascertain why ancestors did what they did when they did it. And

Introduction- The story of the Peterson Family has its roots and many branches in Denmark and in what is now the German state of Schleswig. While exploring these branches I rediscovered lives from as many as six generations ago. But I didn't do it alone. Along the way I met my fourth cousin, Henning Bender, a noted Danish historian, archivist, and expert on Danish immigration. He did much of the groundwork, all I did was c
For many years I have been searching for the answer to who my husband's ggg grandfather was.His surname was Marquis & he married Elizabeth Thompson. He had a son named Jesse Marquis born 20 May 1820 in Pa. Family history states that he died just before Jesse's birth. I don't know where he died or why. Anyone who could help me I would be very grateful. I have Marquis family history from Jesse to current.
Since we are doing various states at different times and we need to increase the information, I have written about Greene Co. Pennsylvania on two posts on my other family blog.

The picture shows a baby in Mr. Faber's lap. Is it the first, second or third child. I would think some of those in IOWA would know but so far no concrete answers.
A clue would be the picture was taken in Illinois.
So when did they live in Illinois? Look for old letters, reports in newspapers and census information may give us a clue.
I am sure that Lucy Faber's kin would surely know but I am not hearing that. Isn't genealogy and family fun?

Three brothers came from Kildare - varis names given, and built three houses beside each other... two died childless, and the third inherited the two plots, giving a decent plot of land before the great famine, and setting the family up to be just that bit more prosperous than their neighbour
