Love when you said its like an hour and a half. Love living in murphy!
Great video, when I starting years ago I just got to excited. I would find my ancestors and start veering off to other names and Wow you can get way overwhelmed quick, so stay focused one root at a time for sure.
Hi Patera. As always, I've really enjoyed your video! I've been on ancestry for 2 years and still wading through tons of information. My tree is full of errors but also found a lot of good info. One of my ancestors is supposed to be a sister of pocohantas. LoL but I did find some pics of my 3rd great grandparents. Pretty excited about that!
Another great video. Agree with every point you made. Yes, talk to your elders now, tomorrow is too late. So much knowledge is transferred verbally. But beware, there are things out there that was 'hidden' on purpose. What will surprise is that most apples don't fall far from the tree.
Absolutely work your way back.
It does take time and documents.
Including marriage documents,military documents,etc
I've been researching since about 1989. My ancestors were mainly in the mid-West (Iowa, Wisconsin, and Minnesota) and the northeast. One time I called the library of a very small town in Iowa where my 2nd great-grandmother was supposedly born. The lady there didn't know of any records that would help me. Several months later, I received a call back from her – she had taken it upon herself to do some local research, including a trip to the cemetery, and had some more info for me. You meet some wonderful people along the way.
I love genealogy, its a lot of work. You really do learn about American history. My own ancestry on both sides goes way back to colony days, except for my Dutch ancestors., They come in the mid 1800s
God bless you I hope you find everything that you're looking for and thank you so much for those beautiful pictures of the outdoors where you live is beautiful
Make sure you are ready to learn family secrets. I found out the hard way that I was in fact not ready for them.
It would be easy to track my father's side of the family as they are local. My mother's side however is in the Philippines and I'm not sure how well they kept track of records. My mother's birthday on record isn't quite right as at the time another country was trying conquer them.
I know that there is a lot of wrong information out there. My birth certificate states that my parents were married but they were not. He was married to his first wife when I was born. My mother was young and embarrassed so when they asked her she said they were married and gave his name. They never married. That was 1949. Things were done differently back then.
All very well said! It is a lot of work, but very rewarding! I love Murphy, I nearly moved there!
Big Jim from bonny Scotland ..I looked back at my family tree I'm ulster/Scot prodastent..we have a place in Edinburgh that will find your background is your clan your tartan.if u have ulster in your blood line it's a good chance it will be ulsterscottish blood .I think your part of your country has a big Scottish connection..as we say in Scotland to all u bonny lassies ye alright hen…in god we trust..
You're having so much fun with your ventures to gather all the info of your culture and family history. Enjoy!!
I’m fortunate that my mother pieced together a lot of genealogy for our family. Back then it was all very manual and the computer information was not as accessible as it is today. I’m hoping to use my information in conjunction with Ancestry to gain some insight and further information about my ancestors beyond mere dates. Thanks for the tips of other sources of information and learning more of the history of the times. I’m a new subscriber and really enjoy your channel!
I have been doing genealogy for years, but I'm not familiar with native American records. We have Carter native American ancestors from North Carolina. Are there particular areas (counties) of nc that have more native American records? We also may have native Americans with black ancestry in our background. We can't find any records for our native American line before 1870. After 1870, the Carter line went to PA and lived as white. I don't think we were ever on the rolls, and no one remembers any of their Indian names. The only way you know our line is native, is our faces.
very interesting. thanks so much ! we are hoping to move to start a homestead in east tenn. thanks for all you post.
I'm glad you mentioned Documentation. My sister and I have been doing Genealogy for 40+ years and I get so irritated of individuals and take the geneaology on Ancestry as gospel and they did no research. My husband family came to Missouri from Bradley County TN.
I could tell by watching your video's way back you were part Indian but.. I think you look more like the Crow tribe not what you are saying.
My mother started doing genealogy back in the 80s. Just conversing back and forth through letters. She would always take me to the old graveyards and to the local mormon church to do research. I loved it. She passed away in 2015 and I inherited all her research albums. My most precious possession. I've continued researching and have well over 4,000 family members in my tree. Everytime I find more information I know shes smiling down on me. I've already started teaching my children are family history and hope they learn to love it as much as my mother and I do.
Thank you for this! Good advice for those of us doing genealogy work on our family. I'm looking forward to coming from Texas up through southeast TN into southwest VA the first 2 weeks of August. Going to drive parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway for the first time! Thanks for the time and effort you put into your channel!
My ancestry includes Cherokee in the Alabama area. My sister has visited there once. You are so correct saying it is addicting!
You are for sure , " a lady on a mission and wish you all the best of luck".
Great information. Court house records (deeds, tax, birth, marriage and death), Census records starting in 1790 and church record's can gleen a lot of genealogy information and leads.
Because of your encouragement, I started my search a few months ago and have run into all the things you mention and I have the biggest binder and dividers I could find! I found my Cherokee heritage and any minute I thought I would find out we would be related but not so far, lol. I have also noticed, because the census forms were all handwritten, it was hard to read, sometimes misspelled and nicknames used, same with some certificates of marriage and death. But I also found out I come from a long line of farmers, which explains why I am happiest in my garden. Thanks for all your help. Our journey continues.
My sister was big into genealogy and had traced both our parents families back many, many generations, back to Europe even. Found people we knew all our lives as friends and schoolmates were actually distant cousins. But when south Louisiana flooded in 2016, she lost all her records, written and on computer. I don’t think she has the heart now to go back and try to recover all of that.
I started doing some of my genealogy last year I you found it so interesting. For years I was always told that my mom's Ancestors Were from France Come to find out Great Great grandparents were from Germany . No wonder there's so much stubbornness Having much on both sides. also know somehow I was a southern woman lol You see I was born and raised in the north and hated it I moved a year ago to the south and for the some part I like it. I don't miss nonething about the north at all. I felt this is where I was to be.. Anyways My ancestors we're from North Carolina, Virginia West Virginia South Carolina and Tennessee . I would Love to Visit the graves Thanks for that idea… Marcy
Right on Patera! Great advice. I've been researching my family tree for 40+ years, and your explanation is the most accurate picture of the process that I have ever heard. It is definitely a journey to uncover one's past.
Please show the notebooks and other things you use. If you can't travel go to the state archives because they have all the info for all the counties in that state
