| Question: Am I technically a Native American Jewish? Or Not? Posted: 25 Oct 2015 08:34 AM PDT Not! If that test was accurate - and that's a *big* 'if', many of these tests are rubbish - 42% is a big enough proportion to say your are 'of part-Native American ancestry'. And that's all. No, you aren't 'Native American', and you aren't of 'Native American ethnicity' (ethnicity is about culture, not genes). As for 5% Jewish: I can't imagine what makes you think that's significant. 5% equates, roughly, to 3 out of your 64 great-great-great-great-grandparents being Jewish; that's simply too trivial to be remotely meaningful. |
| Posted: 25 Oct 2015 07:01 AM PDT When researching to find out anything at all you start with what you know, not with what you don't know ( or what you were told...as that is just a story/opinion) So you start with yourself and the records you already have, you have your birth certificate and that gives your parents names, if you can get hold of your records from foster care that is the next record you get..... it will be a long time and lots of work to find your ancestors or where they came from and you are potentially looking for living people with your parents, if they were born prior to 1940 and you are in the US then they will be on the census and that is the route you take, proving each generation back |
| Question: Where to find free record reports? Posted: 24 Oct 2015 09:39 PM PDT If the omelet fairy delivered free breakfasts to everyone every morning, would Denny's stay in business? If there was a web site just like the background checking ones, but free, would they stay in business? But, turning from the web to pens, paper and stamps, if you know the SSN, the SSA will forward a letter to the address they have for a person. The address may be bad, and the person is under no obligation to respond to it. Complete details: It starts: "We will attempt to forward a letter to a missing person under circumstances involving a matter of great importance, such as a death or serious illness in the missing person's immediate family, or a sizable amount of money that is due the missing person. Also, the circumstances must concern a matter about which the missing person is unaware and would undoubtedly want to be informed. (Generally, when a son, daughter, brother, or sister wishes to establish contact, we write to the missing person, rather than forward a letter from the relative.) . . . " |
| Question: What relation do these two people have to one another? Posted: 24 Oct 2015 08:33 PM PDT They have great grandparents who are first cousins. They have grandparents who are second cousin. They have parents who are third cousin. That would make the 2 of them fourth cousins. Children of siblings are first cousins to each other as they share grandparents. Children of first cousins are second cousins to each other as they share great grandparents. Children of second cousins are third cousins to each other as they share great great grandparents. Children of third cousins are fourth cousins to each other as they share great great great grandparents. The would be those 2 people. The removes come in when you are in a different generation coming down from a common ancestor. You are a first cousin once removed to your first cousins' children as your grandparents are their great grandparents. Thus, one generation different. You are also a first cousin once removed to your parents' first cousins as their grandparents are your great grandparents. Again, one generation different. Here is a relationship chart: |
| Question: I found this Supreme Court of the State of New York certificate and want to return it.? Posted: 24 Oct 2015 06:30 PM PDT He probably doesn't have any descendants. The Fourth Department has been passed in Rochester since the late 1890's, and that's an important clue, since it means that we are looking for someone from the western part of the state, even though most of the state's lawyers have been from the New York City Area. Based on the year you gave, I would estimate that he would have been born around 1890, give or take. Running a search on familysearch.org (which is only supposed to be used to search for your own relatives, but they don't check), it turns out that there was a lawyer named Charles Crawford Johnson who married Bertha Minnie Bunce in Adams Center in 1915 at the age of 26, which would make him 24 in 1913, which is about right. Having his wife's name should help to find his children, but it's not easy because New York birth records under 100 years old are generally confidential. His World War One draft registration card gives his address in Watertown, NY (which tells us where they were living then), his date of birth in 1889, and confirms he was a married lawyer who didn't (as that time) have any children under 12. Looking at the 1940 census for Watertown, NY, there is a lawyer listed as Chas C. Johnson married to BerthA M. (strange use of capital letters in original) with no children living with them. Looking at the 1930 census, there is a Charles C. Johnson married to a Bertha M. Johnson, and again they don't have any children of their own living with them. Now, let's do the math. Since he was born in 1889 and married in 1915, he wouldn't have had children that were already over 12 by World War One. And any children he had between World War One and 1940 would have been living with him and his wife in 1930, 1940, or both. So he had no children before 1940. And his wife was in her mid-40's in 1940, so if they didn't have children before 1940, they probably didn't have children after 1940. Conclusion: He had no legitimate children, and therefore has no descendants that you can find. |
