Photo Lineage

-

This week's #SaturdayNightGenealogyFun Challenge involves family photos.

How many generations do you have photographs or portraits of your ancestors and descendants? It can be any line...it just can't be broken!

When thinking about this, I realized that I have several generations of photos on my Crawford line.

Nelson G. Crawford (1808-1864)





Washington Marion Crawford (1838-1889)





Judson Foster Crawford (1866-1949)





Leon Russel Crawford (1894-1976)





Eugene David Crawford (1927-2006)



David Crawford



Mathew Crawford





That's seven generations of Crawford line photos.

Nelson's photo looks like it came from a county history. How lucky you were to find that. I wish some of my ancestors had their pictures included in one of those books.

It did come from a county history -- of Warren County, Indiana.

Why Not Indexed

I've been watching my Blogger stats and have noticed that Google is not listed as a referring site. Thus, I began to wonder why. I've been thru the settings and Google's Search Console and I haven't found an answer. So, I'm going to document what I see and then reach out for help. This morning, I tried a Google search for 'briles pauline'. I knew I had several posts on my Wordpress blog about her and that I had re-posted at least one of those posts on my Blogger blog.

Conflicting Information

Do you use Ancestry's 'leaf' hints? If so, do you occasionally find a hint or two that have information that doesn't fit with what you already know about the person or family? I usually find such hints among the multitude of hints for the people in my trees. Usually, those 'incorrect' hints are 'way off'. These 'way off' hints are for events in England when the person/family is living in the United States. Today, however, I came across a hint for a death date that was a few months off of the date shown on Find a Grave. The hint was and index record with reference to a film number on Family Search for District of Columbia Deaths and Burials, 1840-1964. Even though the death date was different, the family names matched.

Ancestry Hints: Public vs Private Tree

I'm writing in response to Russ Worthington 's comment on the Genea-Musing's blog post, When Did Ancestry.com Last Index Ancestry Member Trees ? In the comment, Russ brings up the issue of hints not showing. Since I haven't noticed an issue with 'missing' hints on my un-indexed tree, Russ's post made me question whether I was indeed missing hints. However, I did notice one difference between my tree and Russ's experiment. I work with a public tree and Russ' test was with a private tree. Thus, I wanted to know whether public trees produced hints when the tree lacked Ancestry sources. Thus, I needed a public tree (small) without Ancestry sources. Since I've been searching for Judson Crawford to see if my tree was indexed, I decided to create a small public tree on Ancestry for Judson Crawford, his wife, children and parents.  My first attempt at creating the tree was to drag Judson and his family into a new tree. When I tried to use TreeS...
