I STILL HERE/Family Tree Maker 2019 Person Notes and Research Notes/Records found on Ancestry Library Edition

 I STILL HERE!!! I know that it has been awhile since I blogged anything on doing genealogy research. My last post was in 2019 but I have still been really busy working on my family tree. Just been forgetting to blog about what I have been working on.

I have spent lots of time working in Family Tree Maker 2019 created timelines for everyone in my family tree in the person notes. Also, transcribed all records with the information that has been learned from that record. The transcription of records is in bold to stand out in the timeline to know what has been found. Types of records transcribed is newspaper announcements (birth, engagement, wedding, anniversary, death etc), family bibles (also noted who’s handwriting it’s it), church records, census records, military records, etc.

 In the research notes in Family Tree Maker 2019, I have noted that the facts have been noted and linked from all sources, also have created a research log (I did use the posts on my blog to make notes of what has been done). In the research log going forward keep track of the searches done and what records have been located.

Person Notes For Jules Dagenais

Research Notes For Jules Dagenas

In March 2023, I had to have carpel tunnel surgeries on both wrists, March 1^st for the right wrist and March 15^th for the left wrist. So I was one handed for a month and was off work while I was healing from the carpel tunnel surgeries. I also was not able to use the computer while I was healing from my surgeries. Once I was able to go back to work at the end of April 2023, I wanted to ease back into using the computer so I wouldn’t have issues with my wrists again or cause my carpel tunnel to return.

Found William L Dixon In The 1900 United States Federal Census

I found my great grandfather William L. Dixon in the 1900 United States Federal Census, along with his brother Ira Dixon. From the census record I learned the following: (Note Dixon was spelled Dickson in the census)

William’s birth month & year:  March 1894
William’s age: 6 years old
Ira’s birth year: 1889
Ira’s age: 11 years old
Both William & Ira were born in West Virginia

Residence for both William & Ira at the time of the census was Clay Wood, West Virginia.

According to the census both mother & father were born in West Virginia, but I don't have their names.

I learned at time of the census was take Ira couldn’t read or write as it is marked as No, on the census. Nothing will filled out for William.

 I also learned that William & Ira were not living with relatives when the census was taking, They were leaving in J. Hubbard Residence with his wife & daughter. The relationship status towards head of  house hold for both William & Ira is "inmate", which means they live there but aren’t relate to the head of house. From the census record you can see lots of people living in the Hubbard Residence who are not related to the Hubbard Family, and the relationship status of all those people are "inmate".

 I am very happy to find my great grandfather William in a census record. But now I have so many questions that I want answers too. Why was William & Ira not living with their parents? Did there parents die, and that is why they are living with the Hubbard Family? Was the Hubbard Residence some kind of boarding house?

 As the United State Federal Censuses are done every 10 years. I know I can’t fine William in the 1890 census as he was born in 1894. I will have to search for Ira in the 1890 census to see if he was living with his parents, and hopefully I can learn their names. Once I learn their names I can hopefully learn what happen and why in 1900 William & Ira are not living with them.
