Take one 4xg-Grandparent week 18 - 2 - 8 Dec 2011
This is our weekly challenge to see how much information you can find out about each of your 4xg-grandparents. Because there are so many brick walls at this stage, we are expecting that you will have quite a few missing 4xg-grandparents, and that the ones you do post up will have quite a few gaps to fill in. For this challenge, we ask that you only post a thread if you know the first name of your ancestor. You are allowed to post up to two threads each per week, e.g. your own ancestor and your OH's as well.
This week, we are focussing on your mother's mother's father's mother's mother's mother. If you want to take part, just start a new thread on this board and put your 4x-great-grandmother's name in the Title. Copy the following form and fill in the answers that you already have, then over the course of the next week you try to fill in the blanks and everyone else helps you. If you're lucky enough to have all the information already, then you can still post it up if you want, so that search engines can pick it up. Can you fill in all of the following information about that person: Name - "official" name and what they were known as Date and place of birth Names of parents Date and place of baptism - if applicable Details of each of his or her marriages - if any Occupation(s) - if any Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!). Date, place and cause of death Date and place of burial. Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable Memorial inscription - if any Adoptive or step-4x-great-grandparents welcome! Also, something new for TO4G - if you have posted a thread in TO3G for this ancestor's daughter, could you please include a link to that thread. If you search for the tag TO3G6, you should find it. Please let me know of any missing / wrong tags and I will correct them. |

Can I say THANK YOU! to TOGG?
I did a lot of my research over thirty years ago, when a lot of finding aids were not available. Now I can look at wills online, find out where obscure villages were, and fill in all sorts of black holes in my research (and thank goodness, come to the same conclusions as I did then!)

Can I ask, I have just made some big inroads to OH's family because of Seax can I post in TOGG4 even though the TOGG4s they pertain to were a few weeks back?

We're going to have a catch-up slot at the end of TOGG4 for any missed ancestors or ones that were discovered too late for their week, Maggie.

Help
Hi Kiterunner, Can you please delete my thread Elizabeth Gilbert, she is not my MMFMMM, I was searching for information on her, and accidentally put her on instead of Sarah Wetstone' mother. I cannot figure out how to delete it myself, I am a bit slow this morning Thanks (hanging head in shame) Di |

I've deleted it for you, Di. There is no way to delete threads except to ask an admin to do it, don't worry.
