My Mom (Annette) was a nurse and that might have influenced my decision. I also knew I didn’t want to be a teacher, secretary, or telephone operator. Those were the only jobs available with good earning potential for women when I was graduating from high school in 1965. I was looking forward to living in a nursing dormitory and training in a hospital.

She wanted me to be a dental hygienist another field I didn’t want to work in. I knew nursing was hard work because I can remember how tired she was when she came home from work. She would take her uniform off and sitting in the chair in her full-length slip with her white nylon stocking rolled down to her ankles. This is the pre-panty hose era, so two separate stockings held up with either a girdle or gather belt. She would elevate her feet and be so grateful to be able to relax.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif" style="color: #4f4f4c; letter-spacing: -0.1px; white-space: pre-line;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; font-size: 17px;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ4guUkKKFXFKUzMM9JZ92jgtIXcX7WIPOG1CUq5xVjCnpOswvbg6qq0cclkZb1-6CFG9G0Ii2OqJfDy3wN8xrvwu5sISTJHVjVwUGXG8mWVZqVrGH5lMAu9JcyHTTo2I9s5E0lQUBzBfyXhmPhxyQ0t5uViY849WpPXusbAbvgDEiV-eQZR5yq75Q/s916/Hartmann,%20Mary%20E%20b1948%201965%20HS%20in%20uniform.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="916" data-original-width="612" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ4guUkKKFXFKUzMM9JZ92jgtIXcX7WIPOG1CUq5xVjCnpOswvbg6qq0cclkZb1-6CFG9G0Ii2OqJfDy3wN8xrvwu5sISTJHVjVwUGXG8mWVZqVrGH5lMAu9JcyHTTo2I9s5E0lQUBzBfyXhmPhxyQ0t5uViY849WpPXusbAbvgDEiV-eQZR5yq75Q/s320/Hartmann,%20Mary%20E%20b1948%201965%20HS%20in%20uniform.jpg" width="214" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mary at High School</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: 17px;">

But I persisted and made it to be a Senior. When I was a Senior and taking the entrance exam for two different Diploma Schools of Nursing, Sister Carradine had the audacity to tell me, “You are too stupid to be a nurse, compassionate enough to be a good one but not smart enough.” I was not accepted by the two Diploma schools of nursing I tested for; I was a C student and just missed the top half of my class by two people.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif" style="color: #4f4f4c; font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; white-space: pre-line;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif" style="color: #4f4f4c; font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; white-space: pre-line;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif" style="color: #4f4f4c; letter-spacing: -0.1px; white-space: pre-line;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; font-size: 17px;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN2lITLSWoqix2F9JgaTEumUu6_5LRNjlYL6Y4NecCyrN809KGb9gcheXJnsL7zFj-OhhJqEOQp18rldg4iuHPi4c-YlqQYoyiOKnzReQtcXwl8teZW5q9nrBfuRHnR9PFrYlkoy9rKcbbPReyWhmZVpS-CVVJkVDLGnqCuU02izFAq3VwWeIgNojY/s466/Hartmann,%20Mary%20E%20b1948%201966%20LPN%20Graduation.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="466" data-original-width="242" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN2lITLSWoqix2F9JgaTEumUu6_5LRNjlYL6Y4NecCyrN809KGb9gcheXJnsL7zFj-OhhJqEOQp18rldg4iuHPi4c-YlqQYoyiOKnzReQtcXwl8teZW5q9nrBfuRHnR9PFrYlkoy9rKcbbPReyWhmZVpS-CVVJkVDLGnqCuU02izFAq3VwWeIgNojY/s320/Hartmann,%20Mary%20E%20b1948%201966%20LPN%20Graduation.jpg" width="166" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mary LPN Graduation</td></tr></tbody></table><span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: -0.1px;"> </span><span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now for the next challenge, I enrolled in the Broward Vocation School in the LPN program in September of 1965 at the age of 17. The nursing instructors made it very clear to me that I was the youngest student they had ever accepted, and they were not sure it was the right to accept me into the program. I think they pushed me harder than some of the other students.</span></span></div></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span> </span>On October 13th I had an emergency appendectomy, it was a Wednesday night. I missed school on Thursday, Friday & Monday, which was a half day of testing for a scholarship. I walked into school on Tuesday, and I was asked what I was doing there; they had dropped me from the program. I told them they could not drop from the program because I had not missed 5 days of school; I had missed 3 days of school. They also questioned if I could physically do the work. My doctor had cleared me to do all activities. We weren’t doing patient care yet in the hospital. I do not remember thinking that was gutsy back then but in retrospect, it sure did take some guts to stand up to what I knew was right. I was able to finish the year-long program, but they made me make up two days of school at the end of the year. I spent my make time cleaning the classroom for the incoming class. My grades were straight A average and I was also nominated by my classmates as Student of the Year and was able to go to an LPN Nursing Convention and represent my school and class.</span></span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><span face="Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif" style="color: #4f4f4c; font-size: 17px; letter-spacing: -0.1px; white-space: pre-line;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif" style="color: #4f4f4c; letter-spacing: -0.1px; white-space: pre-line;"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; font-size: 17px;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi8hszKzFbhCOLJHql4VlhLhXjz2lbeLAlzyrsDszYA4Ax6hnGG5jViFpwJ_8rhTErmc5pCQFtmK-INDVZO4YEXtkbfs4jvKCR-iP7K-v-07VAf-ZQ98UOETPEpV0o96qinKKWttgpiJW5JeJywGuTiXamdBdYeeVVK48X5isv0VT07t2bTBPLs_ea/s752/Hartmann,%20Mary%20E%20b1948%201972%20RN%20Student.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="752" data-original-width="724" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi8hszKzFbhCOLJHql4VlhLhXjz2lbeLAlzyrsDszYA4Ax6hnGG5jViFpwJ_8rhTErmc5pCQFtmK-INDVZO4YEXtkbfs4jvKCR-iP7K-v-07VAf-ZQ98UOETPEpV0o96qinKKWttgpiJW5JeJywGuTiXamdBdYeeVVK48X5isv0VT07t2bTBPLs_ea/s320/Hartmann,%20Mary%20E%20b1948%201972%20RN%20Student.jpg" width="308" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mary RN Student</td></tr></tbody></table><div><span style="letter-spacing: -0.1px;"><span style="font-size: 17px;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large; letter-spacing: -0.1px;">Oh, I am not done, one more to go. In 1970 I enrolled in Broward Junior College back then, now a Community College for their nursing program to obtain high education to become an RN. During my first semester, I had an interview with the Dean of the School of Nursing. She reviewed my high school grades, and she didn’t think I would be accepted for those grades. I mentioned I was an A student and student of the year in my LPN program. Her comment was, “The LPN program is only equivalent to a 10th-grade education.” I am sitting there thinking it was a lot harder than high school, I am sure my jaw dropped at her comment. She would review my grades after I had completed a semester and if I had Cs in all my classes I would be accepted into the nursing program. In 1972 I graduated from BCC with a straight A average, was on the President's list, and was a member of the Honor Society.</span></div></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif" style="color: #4f4f4c; letter-spacing: -0.1px; white-space: pre-line;"><span style="font-size: 17px;">

They accepted all my community college credits and I enrolled as a junior. In 1976 I graduated with my BSN and was on the Dean’s List. During my nursing education, I worked as a nurse. I felt like I was eating, drinking, and sleeping nursing for the five years it took me to earn my ASN and then a BSN, but it was worth it.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif" style="color: #4f4f4c; font-size: large; letter-spacing: -0.1px; white-space: pre-line;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div> <span> </span>In 1975 I attended my 10-year high school Reunion and was able to speak with Sister Carradine, I mentioned I had worked as an LPN for many years before getting my RN from a junior college and that I was one semester away from earning my BSN. Her comment to me was, “I knew you could do it, you just had to do it your way.” I never want to punch someone until that night, but I wanted to punch her! I pull my arm back and made a fist, I wanted to swing up and punch her right on her chin.

<span> </span>I guess the moral of the story is if you want it bad enough you will get it. The path that opened to me wasn’t the path I dreamed of as a kid. But it got me where I wanted to be. Many of my friends who went to diploma school had to repeat nursing 101 over again at a university level. I did have to start over in junior college, but it was more informative than what I had in the LPN program. I didn’t have to repeat any classes at the university level. Having my BSN opened many career doors for me, especially for jobs that required a BSN.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif" style="color: #4f4f4c; font-size: large; letter-spacing: -0.1px; white-space: pre-line;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-HZkfMNFi5RCVbWncCfDxJbC_CwVb2jAw6pPeO_gUHQjAm0VVyXV3Mk8JjAOO2vEry6i5N9y8VN2Ex--hncKV8qpUcotGohEZYzhUnfenUwwad275KHH5Ccm54llZrh0xPC15h93ui-ExH_lwNox3ZHb4zYKH3zYN6vS-5eCgA670zd_sepxm0fdC/s4000/20121116%20Retirement%20dinner%20and%20girls%20day1%20(5).JPG" style="letter-spacing: -0.1px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="4000" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-HZkfMNFi5RCVbWncCfDxJbC_CwVb2jAw6pPeO_gUHQjAm0VVyXV3Mk8JjAOO2vEry6i5N9y8VN2Ex--hncKV8qpUcotGohEZYzhUnfenUwwad275KHH5Ccm54llZrh0xPC15h93ui-ExH_lwNox3ZHb4zYKH3zYN6vS-5eCgA670zd_sepxm0fdC/s320/20121116%20Retirement%20dinner%20and%20girls%20day1%20(5).JPG" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Retirement Dinner after a 47-year career as a nurse</td></tr></tbody></table>.<div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif" style="color: #4f4f4c; font-size: large; letter-spacing: -0.1px; white-space: pre-line;"></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span face="Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif" style="color: #4f4f4c; font-size: large; letter-spacing: -0.1px; white-space: pre-line;">LPN = Licensed Practical Nurse.

My mother died a week before my first birthday from </span><span style="font-size: large;">Breast Cancer. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">She was 32 years old</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">Feb 5, 1949, my mother Edith died from the complications of Breast Cancer. It was one week before my first birthday. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have wondered what she was like and what she saw in my father. Remember all kids have a funny view of their parents. What things did she enjoy, her favorite color you know those normal kinds of things. Dad didn't tell me much about her maybe because he had a new wife and maybe because it was too painful for him to remember.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">I can remember when they told me I had a different mother than my brothers. I think I was six. It was the second time, they told me about my mother. They had told me the year before but I didn't remember that. They gave me a compact with an "E" engraved on it and her picture. I, unfortunately, lost the compact.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">I also wonder what she worried about as she lost her battle with cancer and what things she would have liked to tell me if she could. She was diagnosed in August and was gone by February, after spending 25 years of my life as an Oncology nurse, I know she had a very aggressive kind of cancer.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">What I do know about her I know from my Aunt Bea & Uncle Bill her siblings. Her nickname was "The Swede" because she was so blond when she was little, as her picture above shows. As a little kid, she had an active imagination and was frequently caught talking to her boys, her imaginary friends. As a young girl of 9, her Dad passed away and she had to fend for herself after school as everyone else in the household had to go to work.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCWAp_oLZ1g3AAZfgxefv6fhBLpQLegCHZz_-gnm1MJR9IVWzoUIloT351F-8Qo2xhCwkZ5wLeIn7BuGfenCAkUANQmjOmMrOpehEKtu1aKbb1FBpD9g8HW5QGQ2o1UATL0HX_o12N6QZsSFW_oPm40AHe1fDklFoYizxqVlnBTUl1aBdKlJlsLkOv/s1158/Chaplin,%20Edith%20I%20b1916%201922%20Studio%20Portrait.tif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1158" data-original-width="795" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCWAp_oLZ1g3AAZfgxefv6fhBLpQLegCHZz_-gnm1MJR9IVWzoUIloT351F-8Qo2xhCwkZ5wLeIn7BuGfenCAkUANQmjOmMrOpehEKtu1aKbb1FBpD9g8HW5QGQ2o1UATL0HX_o12N6QZsSFW_oPm40AHe1fDklFoYizxqVlnBTUl1aBdKlJlsLkOv/s320/Chaplin,%20Edith%20I%20b1916%201922%20Studio%20Portrait.tif" width="220" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">When I went to New York that summer I was 15, and the first I did when I walked into Aunt Bea's house was kick my shoes off. My Aunt tells me, "That is exactly what your mother always did as soon as she walked in the house the shoes came off." It made me feel very good to know I had a habit of my mother's even without knowing it. She liked to sing and would sing harmony with Uncle Bob, Aunt Bea's husband.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a teenager, if she didn't want to go out with a guy again, or didn't want to give a guy her phone number she would give them the phone number to the police station. Now that sounds like something I would do. Come to think of it I have. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">I used to think I got all my sass from my Dad maybe not.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She worked as a waitress and had office jobs. She eloped at 18 to a guy about 10 years older but that ended in divorce. I was told my Dad's parents didn't like this fact and they waited until his parents died to marry. But they died in 1943, I think the delay also had something to do with WWII, as the war ended in September of 1945 and they married in October of 1945.</div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">My Aunt Em, my Dad's sister liked both of my mothers and enjoyed them both as much as if they had been sisters. I don't know when or how she & my dad meet. She became a Catholic to marry him. And that is about all I know. I like this last picture of my mother, she looks like a really classy gal. I also think some of the fashions from the forty's had a really classic style and made women look great.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuvfkNWLfWqnxUIzp6MAq3rFBeZR4tQ1cYMYuocfkT1bMPJ9ssBi7eWNXnrr_ta4z2j63Cb45CbwB0TkmCl_bfEjFx05ahTDdGNu02b7OnY9sg-CcZpXqpL_d5NaM9locCClVdOhsz4mCwRfAhiYhaUZ52jNgTRd4NCSi-TOhy7DxrkLb1qFoOYxj1/s913/Chaplin,%20Edith%20I%20b1916%201945%20Classic%20Edith%20on%20wall.tif" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="913" data-original-width="547" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuvfkNWLfWqnxUIzp6MAq3rFBeZR4tQ1cYMYuocfkT1bMPJ9ssBi7eWNXnrr_ta4z2j63Cb45CbwB0TkmCl_bfEjFx05ahTDdGNu02b7OnY9sg-CcZpXqpL_d5NaM9locCClVdOhsz4mCwRfAhiYhaUZ52jNgTRd4NCSi-TOhy7DxrkLb1qFoOYxj1/s320/Chaplin,%20Edith%20I%20b1916%201945%20Classic%20Edith%20on%20wall.tif" width="192" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;">I just remembered one more story.

<span style="font-size: large;">To get a passport you need to have a birth certificate with your parents names on it. My certificate just has my name, date and place of birth. I guess it called a short form. My Dad requested this in the 1961. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I requested a copy of my birth certificate from New York City by using the third party service that is available and it is fast. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One person asked if my step mother adopted me. Yes, she did when I was 10 or 11. I remember going to a lawyers office and signing the papers with my parents. The lawyer thought I was very clever, because of how I signed my name. It didn't fit on the line provide, I had to use my full name, Mary Elizabeth and Surname and I made it fit by continuing under the printed text next to the line. My Dad and Mom wanted me to be adopted as we were moving to Florida from New York City and he didn't want any one to question my step mom's rights. Plus she loved me and this made me her daughter. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Because I was adopted a new certificate was issued with Annette being my mother. I have two adopted daughters I know this happens. I did not apply this knowledge to myself. I think of Edith as my mother and Annette as my second Mom who raised me. So my birth certificate should have Edith on it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see many heads do help us solve a problem. And even though we know all the facts, some times getting the documentation to prove the facts hit a road block. Plus we forget some important details along the way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Luckily, the state of New York passed a bill that adoptees can get their birth records. The bill is on the governor's desk waiting for his signature. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I might see if I can get a copy of both birth certificates at the same time. </span><span style="font-size: large;">If I can't I am going to order a birth certificate with my step mom's name and when the bill is signed I will get one with my birth mother's name on it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The good thing is I didn't have to show my birth certificate to get my passport because I already had one, that proved who I was. It is just 40 years old. I still want a copy of my full birth certificate for genealogical purposes. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really have been busy working on my special project mentioned in Day 1. So this my Day 4 is way out of sequence from the hints I am following by Amy Johnson Crow but it is the hint that I have been working on. In her book 31 Days to Better Genealogy this is Day 31. So I jumped to the end. Right, it is my project, I can do it anyway I want. This hint is to write something, any thing, even just a page on an ancestor. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I watched a webinar about using Scivener to help organize your writing. It sounded like a good tool to use to help me with my project of writing about each one of my ancestors for the Chaplin line. I found some more videos on how to use the program and downloaded the free trial. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What I like about it, I can make sections, or pages and have one main idea on each page. I can move them around to rearrange the order. It lays it out in a way that makes it easier to write than to put it in one long word document. I can add pictures and make side notes, like check for this. I even copied my timeline for Edith from excel and pasted it onto a page. I also can add footnotes. The program also has the ability to change fonts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am writing this more in a story form instead of an official case report. I haven't figured out how to do an official case report. I have some ideas but I will save that for a later day. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Well Monday, yesterday, September 9th, I was going to work on Day 3 and do that activity. Which was to look closer at Census reports. But I had done that on 6th for my person of interest, Edith, my mother. So I began thinking that I really am working on this Big Project for a family reunion, so maybe I should start a new Genealogy file and make sure all my sources are correctly entered. I know they aren't correctly entered in my current file. So I started a new file and. I was adding pictures, since that is easy to complete and I couldn't find my mother's pictures. Not on my computer my hard drive or my cloud backup. I have no idea what cyber hole they fell into, but they are in it. Since I don't have that many pictures of Edith, I decided to scan them again, as TIFs which is another thing I had on my to do list. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now do all these steps correctly are important to do so others can follow what work you completed and how to find where you left off, but I still kind of feel like I went down a rabbit hole. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I did think of two facts I can look for, her Christening as an infant and her Baptism as an adult. To marry my Dad she became Catholic. So now I have add those items to my to do list. So it wasn't wasted time, I learned some things, which is always good. I am also not as well organized as I think I am. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday, September 7th, while reviewing the Timeline on my mother Edith. I found a few things I wanted to check out. I wanted to find her on the New York State Census of 1925, and 1935. I was able to find her on the 1925 Census. There are no more New York State Census records after 1925. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also wanted to fine more marriage or divorcee records from her first marriage. I didn't find anything more on the first marriage or the divorcee. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was very surprised to find a hint for an obituary. It was a Beta: Newspapers.com Obituary Index, 1940-1955. To see the imagine I had to sign into Newspaper.com. Luckily for me I won a year long subscription to the site from my local genealogy society. So I signed in and was able to see and read the obituary. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I could share the imagine on Facebook from Newspapers.com but the copy I saved to my computer, what the call a clip is copyrighted. So I am not sure how to handle that. So, I am going to use this imagine with all the information of where it came from. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was a very sensitive moment for me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I looked up the address of her last residence and this is the house I found. I have a vague memory of a house like this one. That my Dad's sister lived in when I was little. All I remember is it was in College Point and she had a very old fashion stove in it. Not a gas range like I had in my house. I wonder if this is the same house. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I didn't say I was going to work on them daily, just do the 31 activities.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So Day 2 activity is to create a time line. Can be done in any format but it is to help you find missing details. So since I am working on the Chaplin Project I decided to start with my mother, Edith. I will be needing to do this for each person in my project, but she was the easiest to start with. I am using an Excel spreadsheet.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I started my timeline.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was interesting to me that I found a few things that I can look up that will just fill in some blanks, not necessarily add anything new. I noticed I didn't have any New York State Census records. I know she live only in Brooklyn, Manhattan and College Point, but it would be nice to show it in records. Something I can look for. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There is one detail I can do some research on. </span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My Mother was married before she married my Dad. I am not sure for how long. I all I know was that it was when she was young, he was older and the marriage was annulled. I have that information from my parents' marriage license. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The close up of the marriage license with the previous marriage listed. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She was also listed on the 1940 US Census as Married, using her maiden name, and no husband listed. Listed with mother as lodgers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So then I decided to look at every file I have on Edith and look at what I found. Yes, it has been sitting in my folder, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">for I don't know how long. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It looks like they were married for almost 9 years. I am concluding from the 1940 Census record that they did not live together for all those years. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I will do some research but it isn't earth shatter if I don't know all the details. It is just an example of someone I thought the research was done for and I found more details I can look for with the help of filling in a timeline. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So new tools can add new skills. And help you find forgotten items. If I had learned to write summaries as I did my research I might have remembered I had this information. I am already finding more things to improve. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Of course, I want to include some stories from my mission in my series of ME Stories. It was an amazing and hard experience but I love it and learned and grew a lot from my experience.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 17 July 1977, at the young age of 29. On 5 July 1979 I entered the MTC (Misionary Training Center) I went to the Bolivia Santa Cruz Mission as a Welfare Sister (Hermaña de Bienestar). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My companion and I were working with the Young Women and their leader ship, having a training meeting. We had an opening song, and I was conducting. Now you need to know, that I am not the best singer. I enjoy singing and I don't hesitate to sing, I know sometime I sound like a frog croaking but I have the spirit. And I know the power of sacred music.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We were singing the Hymn, Secret Prayer (There is an hour of peace and rest.) (Oracion Secreta). The sisters were just dragging the hymn. And I mean dragging it and it was painful to listen to. I made them stop, I told them to feel the words, read them and bring them into there hearts. This hymn teaches us about the importance of prayer and the peace it can give you. I testifies that hymns are like prayers to the Lord and He hears them. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We started singing again. Suddenly my voice changes, it wasn't my voice any more. It was sweet and angelic and strong and confident. My companion looked up at me in wonder. She had also noticed the chang</span><span style="font-size: large;">e.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> The group was singing with more feeling. I don't know which angel it was that helped my voice but I am grateful for the experience. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was a special experience for me, and even after all these years it still touches my heart. Here is the link to the words of the hymn. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been thinking a lot about being more organized and making small changes in my life so I can make improvements. It might take a while to see the results but there will be results. The first thing I am doing is reducing my time on social media. Amazing how much time that frees up. Second I am making a schedule of how I will use my time. Not set in stone with school bells time to change class type schedule. But things like study scriptures in the morning. Do some genealogy, or scrapbooking or quilting everyday. Do some organizing, of a drawer or cabinet every day. Like I say it will take time.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So for my genealogy, I purchased the book </span><a href="https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/31days2/" style="font-size: x-large;" target="_blank">31 Days to Better Genealogy by Amy Johnson Crow</a><span style="font-size: large;">. With the hopes of improving my skills. Recently my cousin Val invited me to go to England next summer to visit our second cousins there. I am thinking this is a perfect time to review and redo my Mom's line to share with all these cousins. They all do genealogy to varying degrees. I also when to give them a digital</span><span style="font-size: large;"> copy of the scrapbooking pages I made of the family I have pictures of. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Long Term Goal:</b> Finish scrapbook pages, add more info to the scrapbook. Fill in any blanks on the Chaplin line. Verify current information and fine and verify any new information encountered.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Short Term Goals: </b>Notify English cousins of trip and plans. Ask them for any missing pictures they might have. Ask for any information I might be missing. Ask for fun tips or stories they might know of individuals. Make any new pages, scan all the pages to share. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have recently been thinking about different short and interesting stories of my life they don't fit anywhere special but they are interesting to me and I wanted to start sharing them. Here is my first one.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #4f4f4c; font-family: Verdana, Ayuthaya, HanaMinBFont, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.1px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-line;"><span style="font-size: large;">One Sunday night, while I was driving back to Miami, Florida after attending a singles conference in the middle of the state. This was about 1983 or so. I forget what road I was driving on but it was a two-lane road down the middle of the state by the Everglades. I had two friends in the car but they were sleeping.
I suddenly saw the alligator laying in the middle of the road, across both lanes of traffic. He was a big one and his head was in my lane. I was also traveling a little above the speed limit. So, I quickly decided to go over his tail in the other lane. Luckily there was no oncoming traffic. I want to avoid hitting his head with all those teeth and I wanted to go over the thinnest part of the gator. Mostly, I didn't want any flat tires.
My friends woke up when I drove over the tail, and the bump, bump woke them. I didn't stop I kept driving, I didn't want to find out how mad, hurt or anything else about that gator.
I was very lucky and I didn't have any damage to my car or tires just a little acceleration in my heart rate and a story to share.
This was before cell phone and if I had suffered any damage to my car I would have been stuck there until another car came along. And who knows how long that would have taken. Yup, I was lucky.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had my DNA done several years ago and I have been patiently waiting for some really good DNA matches. I had several but I wasn't sure about them. They connected me to Hartmann's I didn't know about which is a good thing but my paper documentation didn't support what these matches were saying or what I knew from family lore. I didn't toss them out, I didn't accept them as fact but I just waited. My waiting has paid off.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Earlier this month (March 2019) I received a message via Ancestry from a new match. He had some detailed information in his message </span><span style="font-size: large;">that really got my attention. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Below is the message from my DNA Match JH.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181a1c; font-family: "source sans pro" , "helvetica neue" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">I am new to ancestry and I have been tracing my family tree back on my fathers side and I think we may have a common ancestor.My grandfather is Frederick J. Hartmann( 1911-1983) ,My great grandfather is Frederick Hartmann(1883-1930),My great great grandfather is Joesph Hartmann (1845-1914) I Believe that my great grandfather Frederick Hartmann (1883-1930) is the connection,he had a sister Emma and a brother George Hartmann(1891-1943). Emma was married to John Berger and George was married to Mary. My great grandfather Frederick was married to Catherine Ashenbrenner(1888_1962) .If you are in any way related to George Hartmann then we may have a common ancestor.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181a1c; font-family: "source sans pro" , "helvetica neue" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I knew most of these name! The George mentioned here is my grandfather. Joseph is my great grandfather. So I responded and we began to share information and pictures. We both descend from Joseph Hartmann and we are second cousins once removed.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181a1c; font-family: "source sans pro" , "helvetica neue" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The very best part of all this is!!! He has a picture of my great father, two actually and one of them he is standing in front of the saloon he owned. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is the back of the above picture. Just to show you how easy it is to make a mistake. It states he is age 70 but the photo was taken in 1911. He died at age 69 and 6 months in 1915, the birth and death dates are correct. So some good person didn't have a calculator to do the math. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">A couple of weeks ago the prompt for the 52 weeks 52 Ancestors was: "Is there a special item that's been passed down in your family? I wanted to share the three special pieces I have. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is my maternal grandmother Minnie Elizabeth Chaplin cameo ring. It is very tight on my little finger,either she had small fingers or I have big ones. I have worn it on very special occasions but never for daily use. Being a nurse rings have to be practical, this is beautiful but not practical. This ring was given to my mother's older sister Beatrice but she had three boys and when I was born she gave it to my mother. The setting sits up almost 1/2". I have never seen this worn by any family member, not even in pictures. It was saved for me. My Aunt Bea was a lot of fun and made be feel like part of the family.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This Cameo pin belongs to my Mom's mother or grandma Mildred Corkish. (My second Mom) I do remember my Mom wearing this pin. Again since I was the only girl I was given this pin also. I think maybe I worn it once. Mostly it lives in the safe. I'm not a fancy dresser so I have no idea what I would wear it on. It sure is a beautiful cameo. I might just have to find something to wear this on!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">My Mom (second-mom) Annette Carolyna Corkish worked as a nurse. She was an army nurse during World War II and she was the nurse who took care of my mother Edith Inez Chaplin, when she died of breast cancer. I can remember her working at Booth Memorial Hospital in </span><span style="font-size: large;">Flushing</span><span style="font-size: large;">. This is a picture of the charm bracket her co-workers gave her in 3-6-1959 from the OBS staff. This is just before we moved to Florida. She obviously was well liked by her co-workers. And yes she is the reason I became a nurse. She never wanted me to be one, she said the work was hard. I never regretted my decision to be a nurse.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">When I was looking for my treasures and after I saw them again I realized I had forgotten how many I really have. Finding all these things made me feel very blessed. Something I think I tend to forget. My family tried hard to make traditions to have and to pass down. I trying to survive after the lost of two mothers before age 17, I felt the pain and lost but forgot the good stuff. This has helped me to remember.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">From Amy's email: </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #b40404; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans"; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700;">Week 7: Valentine</span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans"; font-size: 15px; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; text-decoration: inherit;">Is there a love story in your family tree? Maybe a couple was married on Valentine's Day or you have a valentine that one ancestor gave to another. Maybe you have an ancestor named Valentine.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I don't know any love stories of my ancestors, heck I don't even know how my parents meet. I decided I needed to write about how my husband and I meet. So here you go.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Richard and I meet on Saturday July 20th of 1991 at a </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">LDS Singles church dance. I knew right off the bat that he was younger than myself. He is 8 years young. We danced and talked and he even laughed at a story I told. I thought well at least he has a sense of humor and I will have someone to speak with at the dances. I was impressed with the fact that he wasn’t crazy about his job as a bank teller but he was doing something to change that situation. He was going to school to learn a new trade. He walked me out to my car and said good night and that was that. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of the guys I meet told me I wasn’t their type, I was too strong, too intelligent, too independent, too intimidating and too everything else. I am not sure what is wrong with being intelligent, independent, or strong. So, it was nice to have a down to earth guy to speak with.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A month later, August 17th, I went back to the same dance, I saw him standing by himself so I went over to say hi. He said, “I have looked for you at every Friday and Saturday night dance and every Sunday night Fireside.” Well I wasn’t accustomed to guys looking for me most of them went the other way when I came by. So, I stood there in shock and thought to myself, OK, just let it in Mary. We dance some more and talked. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He invited me out to eat after the dance. We planned to meet at Denny’s on Southern and Country Club. I arrived first and I was waiting. About 15 minutes went by and no Richard. I thought if he isn’t here in 5 more minutes I will leave. He made it before his time was up. I was actually getting up to walk out. He had run out of gas across the street from a gas station. He had to push his car to the gas station to fill up his tank. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I had met my share of strange guys and I decided I was going to lay it all out. I told him over breakfast that, “There wasn’t a man who walks on the face of the earth worth taking crap from.” I can’t remember if I said it or just thought it, “And I define crap.” That did not scare him off. He made sure he had my last name and my phone number this time. He was upset with himself for not asking for it when we meet in July. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He called on Wednesday evening while on break from his classes. After the first couple of weeks we were dating every Friday and Saturday night after that. He was working, managing apartments and going to school to be an airplane mechanic. So, we didn’t see each other every day, which I think was a good thing and allowed us some down time from each other. I didn’t meet his children until October though he wanted me to meet them sooner. They were cute and liked me right off the bat. Of course, that changed a little after we had been married for a while and they came to live with us in my 950 Square foot 2 bedroom two bath town home. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">He proposed in January after we had attended a relationship workshop, Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. We both learned a lot about relationships and the difference between men and women. After the workshop he has taken me home and said he had to go run an errand and he would be right back. He came back with fresh flowers and a red I love you balloon. He got all serious, nervous and asked me to marry him. Since we knew it was the right thing to do we set the date for March 13th a Friday. He wanted to marry on the 17th so he could remember the date of our first date but that was a Tuesday and I didn’t want to get married on a Tuesday. </span></div>

When I finished speaking to my friend, I turned to Richard and said, “Hi, what’s your name?” It was his first singles dance after his divorce that was 2 years earlier. I was only going to one dance a month because they were boring and painful. There is only so much rejection a person can take. I tell him I had to move to Arizona for him to find me. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="font-size: large;">My Favorite name is Minnie Elizabeth from my ancestors. She is my maternal grandmother. The family lore is she didn't like her name Minnie. I don't know why she didn't like it. Maybe she didn't like it because there was an older sister who reportedly died at sea as the family came to America, who was also named Minnie. I have not been able to prove or disprove that story yet. I know a lot of countries used the same name over and over. I am glad we no longer do that. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans;">So because I learned she did not like Minnie I always refer to her as Minnie Elizabeth. I was named after both my grandmothers, so I am Mary Elizabeth. So our middle name is a common link. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans;">There are several posts about her on my side bar, just look for Minnie Elizabeth. She sounds like a bit of a dynamite person. She was a suffragette for the right of women to vote. She was a widow at a young age. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am going to capture the part I want and make sure I grab it from the same place each time and end it in the same place each time. The instructor went between letters in a word. That would drive me crazy to be missing the first letter on each line. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The instructor saves all his captures to the desktop and just gives them a number, just a number, like 1, 2, 3 etc. This is quick and easy but in reality you can save them to any folder you want. I like the number idea, so you can line them up in order when you go to make one image.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans"; font-size: 15px; text-align: -webkit-left;">The Week 5 prompt is "In the Census." What intriguing find have you made in a census? What has a series of census records shown you? Do you have an ancestor who constantly ages only 7 years between censuses? (Those are fun!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans"; font-size: 15px; text-align: -webkit-left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans"; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was thinking of using my extra post that I did last week for this topic. Since I found so many interesting details about my mother on the 1940 Census. But that felt a little bit like cheating. You can read about it <a href="https://meandmyancestors.blogspot.com/2018/01/interesting-details.html" target="_blank">here</a> if you want.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans"; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans"; text-align: -webkit-left;"><span style="font-size: large;">I also thought about sharing the first census I ever worked on, where I found my Grandfather as a son. It was an exciting moment for me. A first find after being away from Genealogy </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: large; text-align: -webkit-left;">for a very long time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: large; text-align: -webkit-left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: large; text-align: -webkit-left;">I have decided to go in a completely different direction.<br />On Tuesday I took a class at the Mesa Arizona </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: large; text-align: -webkit-left;">Family Search Library. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: large; text-align: -webkit-left;">It was on Irfanview, the ultimate image viewer. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: large; text-align: -webkit-left;">This little free download is very slick. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: large; text-align: -webkit-left;">I can't wait to use it more. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: large; text-align: -webkit-left;">If you do decide to use it and download it, it was recommended to the class to download it from CNET. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: large; text-align: -webkit-left;">I did do that. One of the other students was confused because it comes in as iview. That is the correct file name. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans; font-size: large; text-align: -webkit-left;">So what is so great about this little software. </span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">While writing the post about inviting my mother to dinner. I decided to add all her sources to my genealogy program. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was also transcribing each document. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Except the marriage license which was hard to read. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let me tell you transcribing each document makes you read things closer and you learn things you didn't notice before. I have had these documents for a while, I mean like more than 30 years, from way back when I first started genealogy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have many years of not working on genealogy. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I started with her Birth Certificate. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh30gk2SjZe9vSEarw7YxESR3pp7btePHuo7UYqev3j9Wb-E9aZihKz0uPU0v2w0-vum9Wyj14qCqmvcktP9OoDHL9Od-S5hRKqKCEbbr4stiAvbrQss68ifoVtPwnYR3OGZcUyvOQjQio/s1600/Birth+Certificate+address.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="821" data-original-width="990" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh30gk2SjZe9vSEarw7YxESR3pp7btePHuo7UYqev3j9Wb-E9aZihKz0uPU0v2w0-vum9Wyj14qCqmvcktP9OoDHL9Od-S5hRKqKCEbbr4stiAvbrQss68ifoVtPwnYR3OGZcUyvOQjQio/s320/Birth+Certificate+address.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It might take you a moment or two to noticed that the address where she was born is the same as her father's and mother's address. I never noticed that before, She was born at home. I sure it was a common practice back in 1916 but not common to my generation. Just something to look for. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She did age by 10 years on each of the three census records she was found on. 1920 age 3, 1930 age 13, 1940 age 23. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The 1940 US Census presented two interesting facts. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I picked up that Edith's highest level of education was 3 years of high school. The other more interesting fact was Edith was listed as </span><span style="font-size: large;">married </span><span style="font-size: large;">but listed under her maiden name.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My first reaction was no she wasn't. She had married someone at age 18 but I thought she was annulled from him by this time. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I went back to the marriage license and found that the annulment wasn't final until 1944. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is from her marriage license to my Dad, George Joseph Hartmann in 1945.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So back to check on what info I had on the first marriage. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is what I have. It looks like I have to add two more events to her individual information in my genealogy program. A marriage and an annulment. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All I know about this marriage is he was a bit older than Edith and he wasn't an honest man. I guess with a reason for the divorce as fraud that supports the family lore of not being an honest man,</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I search for Einer and found a couple of census records for him, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">he was from Denmark and in 1940 he was 33 so he was </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">about 10 years older than Edith.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, I know that she was married to him for almost 9 years. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know how long they were separated. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know when she meet my Dad. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My Dad and Edith married a year after the annulment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I do know my Dad said his parents didn't like Edith because she was divorced. All my Dad would say was, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"All you need to know is I loved both of your mothers and I would have stayed married to them." </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If I asked him any questions about his parents or grandparents </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">he would say, "They are dead, leave them alone, </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">you don't need to know them."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The other thing I noticed is that 1940 is the year Edith's mother died. So it makes you wonder if Minnie was showing signs of her illness yet. Minnie died in Oct of 1940, the enumeration date was in April. They both died of breast cancer 9 years apart. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Well, some of this information wasn't new but I can see it in a new light with some more details to make her story more interesting. I will continue to transcribe my documents because it helps to reveal hidden nuggets of information even though they are in plane sight.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Even though it is labor intensive it is worth it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> She is still the first person I want to meet when I get to the other side and believe me I am in no hurry to get there.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans"; font-size: 15px; text-align: -webkit-left;">From Amy Johnson Crow's email. This week is "Invite to Dinner." Which ancestor would you most want to invite to dinner? Do you have a story of a memorable dinner with an ancestor? Is there a special recipe that's been handed down? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wonder if you could guess who I would invite to dinner? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have questions for all my Ancestors but the one I want to meet the most and first is my Mother, Edith Inez Chaplin. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Edith's Individual Information from my Genealogy Program.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you can see she had a very short life. She died at age 32. You don't even have to scroll to see all her life events in my program.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have written other posts on her, <a href="http://meandmyancestors.blogspot.com/2010/02/edith-inez-chaplin.html" target="_blank">this one</a> probably has the most information on her and pictures of her at different ages of her life.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What would we talk about over dinner? Everything!! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">About her life, are the stories I heard true, like giving a guy the police station phone number if she didn't want to hear from him. First I would have to find out what kind of food she wants to eat and likes to eat. I have no idea and my Dad never told me. I might not have asked since he wasn't a real talker. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And would not talk about the past. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I would have to ask what Dad was like as a young man.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I would also ask about what her family taught her and what she would have wanted to teach me. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Was she glad she became a Catholic? Did she miss her old religion? How did her Mom react to that? What did her Mom think of my Dad? Just realized that her Mom died in 1940 and my parents didn't marry until 1945. And I don't know when they meet. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Her Dad was already gone, he died when she was 9.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am sure I would think of a ton more questions while we talked.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I learned a lot of things about my Mother while reviewing and transcribing her documents. I will save that for another post. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As a person who mother died a week before her first birthday and having lost my Mom who raised a week before my 17th birthday. I know all to well how fragile life can be. Both my Moms die of cancer. Which probably influenced my decision to work as an Oncology nurse for almost 30 years of my 47 year nursing career. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">As a young person I thought my Mother gave up too soon, didn't want to live or didn't love me. Kids get crazy ideas. As I watched my Mom die, I know she fought and did all she could to stay alive. As a nurse I learned that in-spite of our best efforts the disease is bigger than the will to live and the treatments available. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That knowledge does not make the loss any easier. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A couple of years ago there was flood of colorful pedigrees. A</span><span style="font-size: large;"> fellow genealogist J Paul Hawthorne came up with a clever idea to show the place of birth of your ancestors. He used an Excel spreadsheet. I had extended the idea to also do a couple of other colorful pedigrees. You can see my original post <a href="http://meandmyancestors.blogspot.com/2016/04/mycolorfulancestry.html" target="_blank">here</a>. One of them was the Cause of Death and Age At Death Pedigree. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I updated my Pedigree, because after all I did add a couple of years to my age. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The colors are significant also. The dull red is for cardiac disease and the pink is for breast cancer. As you can see my gene pool sucks. So far so good, I have been blessed with good health. My Dad had his first heart attack in his 40s. I was ten so it was when he was 46. I remember he went to the hospital and was there for a few days but that is all I remember. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I can remember the frustration my Dad felt when my Mom in 1964 was given the same chemotherapy that my Mother had in 1948. Mom had Colon Cancer and my Mother had Breast Cancer. They both received 5FU or Fluoruracil. I even gave this medication and it is still used in the treatment of Breast and Colon Cancers in combination with other chemotherapy agents.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today while working on my Cause of Death and Age Pedigree I also paid more attention to the ages on my chart. Here is my little chart I made. There are 17 people on my chart and I have four full generations and two people from the 5 generation. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The youngest goes to my Mother, Edith Inez Chaplin born in 1916 and died in 1949. The oldest goes to my Maternal Great Grandmother Mary Ann Holmes Chaplin born in 1865 and died in 1950. Interesting that the oldest and youngest are on the same side of the family. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My Dad's side with all the heart disease I noticed my Dad out lived his Dad by 19 years. I hope to out live by Dad by 20 years. I would love to live long enough to see my two little girls into their 30s. They are currently 14 and 12. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Even those four who died in their 40s were way too young. My Grandfather William Thomas Chaplin died when my Mother Edith was 9. She was too young to not have a Dad. She was 24 when her mother my Maternal Grandmother Minnie Elizabeth died.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And let's face it even dying in your 50s and 60s is young. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have lived longer than 13 people in my direct line. The next ages to beat are 71, 72 and 85. My plan is to beat you 85. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My aunts and uncles have better longevity then my direct line, and I hope I follow their pattern. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The button above I wear on my birthday. I had a magnet but can't find it, that said.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So no matter what age you are enjoy it.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This is my favorite photo of my maternal grandparents. To me the pose is one of a very comfortable couple, who love and care for each other. That line that looks like a pipe is really a pen mark. The corner ripped when I took the picture out of one of those disgusting magnet photo albums. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The picture is in my possession and was given to me by either my father or my Mother's sister Aunt Bea. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Sounds a bit ambitious if you ask me. I have tried other challenges 52 Stories and Birthday remembrances and I failed at them all. Well maybe fail is a bit harsh, because something started and written is better than nothing started and nothing written.

<span style="font-size: large;">This challenge is hosted by <a href="https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/52-ancestors-in-52-weeks/" target="_blank">Amy Johnson Crow</a>. She provided the weekly challenge topic and I have the opportunity to write about the topic. How ever my little heart desires.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This week topic is <b>start</b>. Here are some of her suggestions from her email: </span><span style="font-size: large;"><i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans";">Some ideas include starting with yourself or whoever the "home person" is on one of your family trees. Maybe you focus on the person who got you started in genealogy or the ancestor you wanted to find first. You could talk about a relative who started a business.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans";"> </span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans";">Of course I can go anyway I want. Yesterday when I was thinking about this it almost became a non-start. I was thinking of all the thinks I don't know about writing up stories on my ancestors or how to come to a conclusion on my research. I became overwhelmed and was ready to give up before I even started. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans";">This morning I decided to look around other blogs that have participated in previous challenges. I was able to gleam some ideas and even a layout of information I liked. Armed with ideas I decided I can start. Keeping it going might be a bit of a challenge, since I have those two lovely, active, adopted daughters that keep me busy and need a lot of attention. And I am not as young as I once was. I will be 70 next month. I promise to do my best to keep up. And that is all anyone can do. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , "sans";">So for my start I am going to introduce you to my ancestors who started the Hartmann (paternal) line and the Chaplin (maternal) line here in the United States.</span></span></div>
