Default Take one 3xG-Grandparent week 2 5 - 11 Nov 2010

This week, we are focussing on your mother's mother's mother's mother's mother.

If you want to take part, just start a new thread on this board and put your 3x-great-grandmother's name in the Title. If you don't know her name then put whatever you like 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-3x-great-grandparents welcome! Also you may post up threads for both your own ancestor and your OH's ancestor.

Kiterunner, could you please add the name to my title for my MMMMM - Jane Smith.

I pushed the submit button without having added it, sorry!

I really have to thank you for this thread. I almost put "Unknown Unknown" up for OH's 3 x g grandmother this week, but decided to revisit Google in the hope others may be searching. So far I've found three possibilities and emailed them all, so now wait for the replies to come rolling in....lol

At least it got me off my bottom and doing something.

I may yet put Ms Unknown up.....lol
