Saturday Night Genealogy Fun :: My Genealogical Threes

Randy Seaver's challenge for this Saturday Night comes from Facebook. He says, "some people have been posting their '3s of Me' with information about themselves providing three responses in different categories like 'Three names I go by,' 'Three jobs I've had,' 'Three favorite drinks,' etc. You get the idea."

So our assignment is to give three responses to these questions:

* Three genealogical libraries I frequent

• Allen County Public Library, Fort Wayne, Indiana
• Peabody Public Library, Columbia City, Indiana
• Elkhart Public Library, Elkhart, Indiana

* Three places I've visited on genealogy trips

• Vevay, Switzerland County, Indiana (Wiseman and Bray)
• Nelson County, Kentucky (Bray)
• Pitkin, Gunnison County, Colorado (Lydia Fisher Conroy)

* Three genealogy societies I belong to (or want to)

• New England Historic Genealogical Society
• Indiana Genealogical Society
• Genealogical Society of Whitley County (Indiana)

* Three websites that help my research

• Family Search Record Search
• Ancestry.com
• US GenWeb

* Three ancestral graves that I've visited

• Peter and Christina Wise and family in Gilead Cemetery, Miami County, Indiana
• Lysander and Lydia (Robison) Joslin in Lyndon Cemetery, Valley Brook Township, Osage County, Kansas
• Charles and Naomi (Bray) Wiseman in McKay Cemetery, Craig Township, Switzerland County, Indiana

* Three ancestral places I want to visit (there's a theme here…)

• St. Armand, Quebec, Canada (Joslin)
• Franklin County, Vermont (Joslin)
• Leominster, Massachusetts (Joslin)

* Three brickwall ancestors I want to research more (I prefer to call them Roadblocks rather than Brickwalls.)

• Ruth Dyer 1771-1830 (married Jonas Joslin)
• Sally Church 1780-1831 (married Bela Goodrich)
• Abigail Price 1754-1827 (married John Goodrich)
