52 Ancestors: #30 - Eliza Tuley Teague (1843 - aft 1925)

Eliza Tuley was born in Indiana on 24 February 1843 to James and Jane Tuley.  She and her family are in the 1850 and1860 censuses ion Jackson, Spencer County Indiana. On 21 December 1865 Eliza married Elijah Teague in Gentryville, Spencer County, Indiana.  

Eliza and Elijah Teague, spelled numerous ways, had six children.  The information about the children is also on the blog posting for Elijah Teague.

GRIP 2014 Monday Summary

Well, I checked in at GRIP Sunday night with no problems.  Met lots of people including Wendy.  She's from the Phoenix area, but the west side.   It no longer seems strange to me to travel about 2500 miles just to meet someone who lives about 30 miles from me.  Michelle from  The Turning of Generations blog is also here. 

Ethernet didn't work  but everything else seemed normal. After dinner, with lots of socializing, I sat down to index for FamilySearch.  Unfortunately, after about an hour of not being able to get on the indexing site, I signed off and went back to my dorm room.  I decided to try something I do periodically at home with our cable box.  I unplugged the box, waited 10 seconds and plugged it in again.  Hurray;  it worked. 

I  knew the answers to about half of the questions, but I still have lots to learn.  And I'm going to have to spend some time thinking about and reviewing what was shown today before I feel that I really understand it.  Oh, yes.  I was able to log into the FamilySearch indexing site during the afternoon break and completed two batches.  So, I did my part in the effort to reach 50,000 indexers in 24 hours. 

I thought I understood y-DNA.  Unfortunately the homework assignment, which I had a chance to work on with three other great ladies, turned out to be a real challenge.  I had looked at it before dinner.  Because our classroom was warm all day, and my head was filled with "stuff", I needed dinner first.  Then back to the homework.  We missed the that Pam Eagleson made on Divorce Records.

So, the y-DNA part was finished and we moved on to mtDNA.  For me that was easier, I think.  We'll see if we have the correct answers this afternoon, I believe.  Or perhaps I'll have a flash of inspiration during the day and learn that my answers are either right or wrong earlier.  We'll see how the day goes. 

Thank you Dana for the mention in your blog, The Enthusiastic Genealogist.  One of the nice extras of a genealogy get-together of any time is the chance to meet those we only know from their on-line presence.

A Game to Learn About Others

I think this idea that Jacqi Stevens wrote about in her blog is a great way to get to know other genealogical society members.  However it could also easily be used in almost any group setting.

Jacqi, of the "A Family Tapestry"  blog wrote this: Three Things You Might Not Know About Me.  I can see so many situations wehre this could be fun, and helpful.

Also, I like the idea of an end-of-year sharing about ancestors with "Bring Your Ancestor to Dinner."

Thank you very much, Jacqi.  

GRIP 2014 - I'm in Pittsburgh

I don't know how much I'll write during GRIP.  The flight arrived early.  I've checked into a hotel and had a light dinner at the restaurant next door.  The weather is a BIG change from Phoenix.  It's cooler, much more humid, drizzling, and a delightf change. 

I brought along the newest NGSQ because I wanted to read the article that Elizabeth Shown Mills wrote about the FAN principle and DNA.  Since it arrived in the mail Thursday I haven't had time to read it.  Michelle Roos Goodrum was on the same plane from Phoenix.  She read the article during the flight.  I'll try to read it tomorrow, since I don't feel that I can concentrate enough tonight. 

I look forward to meeting new GRIP students and seeing those who have attended in the past.  I hope you all arrive safely.

52 Ancestors: #29 Meleta Lamar? Teague (1819-aft 1900)

Melita/Meleta, etc., wife of Wymer (various names) Teague may have been born to Elijah Samuel Lamar and Mary Wright. This fact needs a lot of further research, which I am hoping that one of you can help me with.

Meleta was born in Indiana and she died sometime after 1900.

She and Wymer/Winer, etc. Teague had six children.  This information is also provided in the blog posting for Wymer.

Elijah Teague (1841-1913) married Elisa Tuley.  More information about them is on their own blog posting.

William Teague (abt 1846 IN to after 1860).  No further information is knownrri about William.

Mary Teague (abt 1850 IN – after 1860). No other information is known about her.

Ellis (or Elias) Teague(1854 IN – aft 1920) married Evaline, last name unknown, about 1875.  They had two sons and one daughter.

Samuel Teague (abt 1858 IN – after 1860). No further information is known about him.

Jane Alice Teague (1865-1953) married Alpha Frisby Crowder in 1880 in Neosho, Newton County, Missouri.  At this time I don’t know if they had any children.

If you would like to collaborate on this family, please contact me.  I would especially like information about Elijah as well as Wymer and Meleta.

GRIP 2014 - I'm going to Pittsburgh

I can't sleep.  I was thinking about all of the things I don't want to forget to pack and all of the things I was going to TRY to accomplish before I fly Saturday morning from Phoenix to Pittsburgh.

I don't see any way of packing a desk lamp.  I've looked at Ott lights, and others.  Most are too heavy and bulky to go in luggage.  And the idea of my own pillow, special blanket, books, hangers, heavier towels, extra shoes (to change into in case the pair I'm wearing gets wet), snacks, wine?, door stop (2x4?).  Oh, do I wish I lived closer and could drive.  (Well, maybe not.  I really love Arizona and living here (Well, perhaps not the politics.)).  BUT none of these items that I'm going to miss is a good enough reason to miss GRIP. 

So, I have my list and it's long.  Tomorrow, well later today, I'm going to separate everything into two piles:  those things that I need/want for my time at GRIP and those things I just can't live without, even for one night, which will be Saturday night.  (I fly the day before to help me adjust to a 3-hour time difference.)  I wouldn't have as much difficulty if I was willing to bring an extra suitcase.  However, I prefer to travel very lightly.  I usually take one carry one and a roll-on for an international trip of 7-12 days.  So, I can't see bringing 2 suitcases, and a carry-on, for 6 days. 

What can't I live without?  Well, a change of underwear.  Meds, including allergy stuff.  Minimum makeup, including sunscreen.  A light jacket/sweater.  A change of shoes.  AND, technology.  I have to have 3 different power sources: computer, phone, Nook.  Then, of course, computer, phone, Nook.  And my MiFi card with its power source. 

I've gone to the grocery store to make sure that the refrigerator has food for my husband Walt: the necessities like milk, cream for coffee, cheese for snacks and ice cream.  I know he'll go out to some of our favorite restaurants and be treated royally.  And he has friends from wood-carving who he'll meet with, eat lunch with, and perhaps go to a movie with.  He's done this before: more than once.  And, fortunately for me, he is willing to do it again. And he really encourages me to travel for genealogy when I want to. 

The house is clean.  The clothes will be washed Friday, tomorrow today.  The packing has been started. 

Well, I guess I'm more organized than I thought.  No reason to stay up any longer. 

52 Ancestors: #28 - Wymer Teague (1804 IN to 1920 KS)

Wymer Teague (and this is just a guess at the spelling) was born in Oct 1804 in Indiana.  He married a woman named Meleta (also a variety of spellings) probably about 1843.  Teague has been enumerated as Teay, Teag, Tegue and Teague, as well as possibly a couple of others.  In 1860 the family was in Spencer County, Indiana.  I have been unable to find them in 1870.  In 1880 they are in Newton County, Missouri and in 1900 they are in Sumner County, Kansas.

Wymer and Melita had six children.

Elijah Teague (1841-1913) married Elisa Tuley.  More information about them is on their own blog posting.

William Teague (abt 1846 IN to after 1860).  No further information is known about William. 

Mary Teague (abt 1850 IN – after 1860). No other information is known about her.

Ellis (or Elias) Teague(1854 IN – aft 1920) married Evaline, last name unknown, about 1875.  They had two sons and one daughter.

Samuel Teague (abt 1858 IN – after 1860). No further information is known about him.

Jane Alice Teague (1865-1953) married Alpha Frisby Crowder in 1880 in Neosho, Newton County, Missouri.  At this time I don’t know if they had any children.

If you would like to collaborate on this family, please contact me.  I would especially like information about Elijah as well as Wymer and Meleta.
