The Common Room / Re: Threatened over my Family History research
« on: Wednesday 05 January 22 13:33 GMT (UK)  »
ThoseBefore as others have said the 'other researcher' has no 'further action' they can take... cite your source to show where you got your information from, which is public record if a newspaper report, however even if you do nothing at all, the person is long dead and dead people can't sue and the other researcher has no 'right' (legal or moral ) to bully or threaten you or anyone else about their dead ancestors origins......my advice is ignore and/or block further emails

Funny thing is some people researching their ancestry think they are the only ones who 'own' the information they have and will argue when other reseachers find something they have't seen or don't have that doesn't 'fit' their narrative.... I have experienced simular nasty reactions from a couple of other researchers , both I cut contact with as their reactions were far beyond reasonable or in any way nice, however it can shake you ( it did me at the time)

I have just been looking at FS website and checking some real records/images and if some people think that 'further action' can be taken they are mistaken... I looked at the FS transcribed record of someone I was interested in but it stated the wrong county. So I checked the image to find it was completely different County ( Suffolk not Norfolk) to what was transcribed, different parents, different country, so someone has been slopping transcribing a whole parish record book giving the wrong information in the transcription... which lead me to looking at other information, FS guess countries, guess counties eg 'Rutland Wales' when Rutland is the smallest county in England and nowhere near Wales as well as many others

The Common Room / Re: LDS site ?

Yes, their default seems to be 'something is wrong' or 'error' messages.... like many of these websites they ask for more and more information to target their databases and it comes up with nothing...... one thing I have found is limit the  info, if for example your ancestor was born in 'Rearsby Leicester', just put 'Leicester' and if nothing comes up put 'Leicestershire' as you will get different 'results' with all of those....and click on one 'record' , then 'view record' and where it says "attached in Family tree" click on the name below that and it will give you a box with 'sources' click on that and it will show several 'records' and more inportantly where they are from as many are 'extracted IGI', but at least you know that these need checking as they are generally not real

Antrim / Re: Where to find a coroners inquest 1847 Ballymena?
« on: Saturday 11 December 21 15:49 GMT (UK)  »
With that date ( 1847) it is more likely any surviving records would be in the records office in Dublin

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Hit brick wall with a few ancestors
« on: Thursday 09 December 21 12:57 GMT (UK)  »
I do see that the first document you sent me that had the naturalization was probably the closest. Every other document was not related. Remember Celia's maiden name was Dinerstein. And furthermore I said before that she was from Lithuania.

Spellings of names are not important, spellings didn't become important until mid the 20th century ( like it is now) as many people didn't in the past read/write so spellings were not 'checked' and names written as it sounded to the person documenting it, additionally with hearing a different accent when being told the name when people migrated were accidentially changed based simply on what was heard/understood

Historically the largest area of Lithuanian territory was part of the Russian Empire.... and  during World War I, Germany occupied the entire territory of Lithuania...so not unusual for Lituanians to be documented as Russians and/or later Germans AND it also depended on who wrote which documents, generally these were written by eg enumerators for census or parish clerks for religious records

So don't dismiss people based on a spelling of a name or a documented historical origin

Harry and Cecila's US naturlisation petition which gives more details, like DoB/PoB/arrival in US in 1905
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSMW-RS1N-X

1905 census https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:SP6Y-2HJ
1915 census  https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:K9JK-RJ5

This is 'a' Celila Cohen death record 1931, married to 'a' Harry, and they originated from Hungary, so there is more than one couple of the same names which means you need to prove your records and not mix the two couples up https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:2WGZ-1JT

....and a marriage record dated 1917 https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:Q2CK-TZGT

The Common Room / Re: Constant house moving
« on: Sunday 05 December 21 17:15 GMT (UK)  »
Their home was often owned by who they worked for, so if they lost their job/was looking for other or better work/was dismissed it also meant they had to leave their home too and with no work contracts and no employment contracts it was often very quick, as in the same day.
