#OTD 28 March 1934 Mary Jane Smith Pryor died in Oklahoma City. She was born 12 January 1853, the eldest living child of the farmer George Fraker Smith and Nancy Alley. When she was nine years old, the Civil War came to the area of Jasper, Tennessee, where the family lived. The Smiths survived the war and thrived. At 17, Mary Jane married Benjamin Franklin Pryor. Frank made some unwise money choices and my great-great-grandparents left to start over in Texas. They had 5 girls and one boy.

I've finally managed to find a copy of a record I've been looking for for ages! This was my 3rd great grandfather Dafydd John's favourite song. He passed away in 1894 so wouldn't have ever heard it on a record. The choir is from the Borough Welsh Chapel in London, which is still in existence. They won the National Eisteddfod in Liverpool in 1929 with the same conductor on this record, so my guess is that it was recorded late 20s or early 30s.

Interestingly this record plays at 80rpm, and Discogs has what I assumed was a repress on a different label, but that one plays at the standard 78. (Do I now need to acquire a copy of that one for comparison?)

Meine Urgroßtante Emma verstarb 1967 bei einem Verkehrsunfall in Berlin-Friedrichshain. Mein Vater war damals 10 Jahre alt und hat mit seinem Bruder und seinen Eltern die Wohnung ausgeräumt. Emma hortete neben Massen von Pralinen und Schokolade auch Geld, vor allem aus vergangenen Zeiten – darunter 100 Reichsmark und einen 5-Mark-Darlehensschein. Diese beiden Scheine sind bis heute erhalten geblieben. #genealogy #ahnenforschung #Familienforschung #urgroßtanteemma

#OTD 27 March 1873 Joseph McFarlane was naturalized in the Circuit Court at Monroe County, Wisconsin. It had been 24 long years since he arrived in the United States. He had declared his intention to become a citizen in 1850. Did immigrants then (and now) understand the process? Was it procrastination? Joseph had acquired a homestead in the 1860's, but could not finalize the claim without becoming a citizen. That was certainly a pressing reason for my great-great-grandfather to complete the naturalization process.

Emailing my auntie, mentioning I have physical descriptions for our Irish ancestors. Her granny was 4 foot 11 inches. At least as a teenager. I also have the granny's eye colour and hair colour. And similarly her parents and other relatives. Thanks so much to petty crime and Dublin prison registers! #Genealogy #FamilyHistory #Ireland #Dublin #Crime #Prison

#genchat is Saturday (March 29) on Mastodon! We’re having an Open Mic about Foods of Our Ancestors…that includes recipes, ancestral eating habits, what they may have grown or bought, old cookbooks - anything food & #genealogy related!

I was astonished to read about this milestone as it turns out that 81 of these 100 soldiers were heroes I researched. #genealogy

As a geneticist, I will not mourn 23andMe and its jumble of useless health information | Adam Rutherford https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/27/geneticist-mourn-23andme-useless-health-information #Biotechnologyindustry #Lifeandstyle #Genealogy #Worldnews #Genetics #Privacy #Science #Biology #Family

#OTD 26 March 1882 Laura Eva Neff married James H. Phillips in Van Buren County, Iowa. The couple had a daughter, Lulu. The fate of both James and Lulu is a mystery. In 1886, Laura remarried to Thomas Newton Cantrill. They also had a daughter, Junie May. After about 23 years of marriage, Laura sought and was granted a divorce. Her fate is also a mystery. Because she was a cousin in my wild Maddox family, nothing would surprise me.
