The time I spent at the library yesterday is quite easy to breakdown.
Most of the day was spent working on the Bangle Family. I wanted to see if I could find some new documents and I did! I am very excited about this as I now have the signature of Adam Bangle.
Afterwards, I resumed the work on the California quest for my French friend Guillaume. He’s quite lucky, I am finding him a lot of stuff (I’m even jealous…).
This morning we had a lecture on researching in New York State which I must say was quite interesting and really useful. I even learned that on the 1855 and 1865 State Census you can find at the end of the entries for each town a list of the people who got married or passed away during that year. I will have to take a look at this for the ones listed in Clinton and Franklin Counties in 1865.
Tomorrow I’ll be spending the day on Floor B1 — International Films and Books — as I want to find Hubous that lived in Calvados in the 17th and 18th century near the town where my ancestor Mathieu Hubou was baptized. I was lucky enough that a French genealogist — Jean-Marc — helped me with an index he has access to so I should be able to scan a lot of church records.
Tomorrow is also the mid-week lunch group so expect to see photos of the wonderful views we have from the last floor of the Joseph Smith Building (which used to be a hotel decades ago).
