Also, when I import a GEDCOM From GENI, the men's last names don't come across. DOesn't matter whether I use birth name or last name.

I suspect GENI malforms the GEDCOM data, but a GENI edit would be a help.

I'm looking for any information on my Great Great Great Grandparents, Antone Teodoro Silva and Mary Gloria (Rapozo) Silva. They had a lot of children, my Great Grandmother (Mathilda Grace Silva) being the first (and only one born in Portugal).

I am trying to confirm a family story. I have a letter (see attached) from my grandmother, Lesley Vivian Potter Evans (1901-1996). An older 2nd cousin edited the parts I couldn't read, and added his own comments. I have don DNA testing with Ancestry.com and 23& Me. Only 23 & Me show any Native American ancestry. I would love to identify the Native American relative in my tree. I have a tree on Ancestry.com and https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/landscape/LD3L-P5M

Below is an excerpt from her letter:

The Odekirk family lived in Pennsylvania. Great Grandfather Odekirk was a ship captain and sailed up and down the Atlantic coast trading with the Indians. He met a chief’s daughter and married her. My grandfather was born to them. How he came West, I don’t know. He met and married Emma McCann and they lived in Utah and Idaho. Emma, my grandmother died when my mother was 15. He married again and raised another family, but I don’t know much about them. He died in Twin Falls, Idaho when I was small. (3) There is extensive and interesting documentation of the Odekirk family. My sis and I went to an Odekirk reunion in Salt Lake a few years back. There is a published genealogy of the Odekirk family dating back to when they came to America – 1600’s. Fairly large book.  I think it is still available. It is really interesting. The spelling has several variations—Oudekirk, etc., but are all from the same roots. There is also an Odekirk newsletter published quarterly that I subscribe.  I’ll take a look at some of the material and see what else about the Odekirks I can find that you may be interested in.

The Indian Connection: I’m not sure. I’ve puzzled about this myself. Grace showed me a photo of John Odekirk and said that he was ¼ Cherokee Indian, but didn’t say how the connection went. The ship captain-Indian maiden is certainly the story I’ve heard, but could never pin down. We have been trying to figure out the same kind of connection on my mom’s side—even though we have a healthy amount of Scotch-Irish blood, one of my mom’s aunts (on her mom’s side) looked like she was right off the reservation. While my brother Roger and I have inherited the Scotch Irish look, my brother Richard could pass for a Cherokee any day—after a few days in the summer sun.

Hi

I need your assistance in allocating records or Will of John Nxaba(1935-30 October 1905). Even though they used Interstate Law to distribute his Estate, but G. H. Hulett has mention on the documents that I have attached that the Will was drawn up him and it was signed by John Nxaba. This documents came from the Source of South Africa Pietermaritzburg Archives Repository. I haven't had any luck in finding any of those records.

I am trying to locate information regarding my great grandparents born in Mexico, specially in the State of Coahuila, Mexico. Both Ancestry.com and Myheritage.com do not have anything prior to 1800 regarding my grandfather, Juan Jimenez, born in 1800 in San Buena Ventura, Coahuila, Mexico. Is there a specific website that contains information of people born in the State of Coahuila from 1500 to 1800? I was informed by one of uncles that Jimenez' also lived in Monclova, Coahuila, Mexico which is located a short distance from San Buena Ventura, Mexico. Thanks, Tony Jimenez, e-mail: Antoniojimz@aol.com.

Hi

I am looking for records of Leech Nxaba (1875-1916) and Malusi Nxaba (1915- 1967) I was only able to find from "South Africa, Natal Province, Civil Marriages, 1845-1955," database/"South Africa, Civil Marriage Records, 1840-1973", database

Leech Nxaba - https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?q.givenName=Leech&q.surname=Nxaba&m.defaultFacets=on&m.queryRequireDefault=on&m.facetNestCollectionInCategory=on&count=20&offset=0

Malusi Nxaba - https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?q.givenName=malusi&q.surname=Nxaba&m.defaultFacets=on&m.queryRequireDefault=on&m.facetNestCollectionInCategory=on&count=20&offset=0

Bom dia busco dados de meus antepassados, se puderem me ajudar fico grato, pois a busca em cartórios igrejas não tem sido fáceis. Muitos dados se perderam. Tenho informações de que meus antepassados viveram em Estrela do Sul, Araguari, Dores do Indaiá, Indianópolis. A partir dai não tem nada deles, os cemitérios não possuem registros mais antigos. Como igrejas, cartórios de registros de pessoas. Registro de imóveis. Os inventários realizados em 1910, 1931 não possuem dados de suas origens, os cônjuges.

Bisavôs:

João Gomes Cursino - nascido em Indianópolis 23-05-1877 - faleceu em 20-04-1935

Ana Joaquina da Conceição - Nascida em Estrela do Sul - faleceu em 22-03-1931

Pais do João - Antônio Gomes Cursino (faleceu em 28/07/1909) e Maria Flauzina de Jesus, se casaram às 09 de fevereiro de 1875 na igreja matriz Santana da Barra do Rio das Velhas (hoje Indianópolis-MG.)

Possíveis pais de Antônio Gomes Cursino, José Antonio Curcino e Cândida Maria de Jesus. Tenho visto que há muitas alterações nas grafias e sobrenomes nos registros realizados pelas igrejas, cartórios. Corcino, Curcino, Cursino, Corsinio e até Corsini. Mas não sei se meus antepassados são descendentes dos Corsinis e Corsinos que vieram da Itália.

Pais da Ana Joaquina - João Batista dos Santos Brasileiro e Maria José de Jesus. Não tenho os dados deles.

Trisavós:

JERONYMO ALVES DE SOUZA - Dores do Indaiá, 9 de fevereiro de 1840 – 12 de novembro de 1932. Casado com FLAUSINA JOAQUINA DE JESUS, Falecimento 29 de abril de 1932. Foram enterrados no cemitério da Zona Rural do Santo Antônio, pertencentes ao Município de Araguari.

Pais do Jerônymo - Manoel Alvez de Souza - Dores do Indaiá, Nascimento 1807 - Falecimento abril de 1890, casado com Maria Faustina de Jesuz, falecida. Enterrados em Indianopolis ou Araguari, não consegui localizar os registros.

Avós:

Antônio da Mota Leite (falecido), nasceu em 17/09/1919, casou-se em 13/09/1941 com Izabel Curcina da Mota Leite, nasceu em 05/10/1920 e faleceu em 23/11/2008. Pais do Antônio, Manoel Inácio da Mota Júnior, faleceu em 26/08/1920, casado com Francisca Lourenco da Silva.

Dear Helpers,

I am trying to locate Meldezettel of my grandmother.

Meldezettel is POPULATION REGISTERS for individual residents of the city of Vienna, Austria.

The documents are scanned and the microfilms are coded in a special way (needing to convert the name in a special way).

I am having trouble to locate it and I wonder if someone can help either to find the right mikrofilm or how to convert the name correctly.

My grandmother's name was: HHAGLER ROSE. She was born in Vienna (12th October 1912) and left in 1936.

I found one microfilm #008723970, but no luck:

It starts with HAGER and then moves to Hau.... I looked well and it seems that HAGLER is not there, but I know it may be in another file.

Here is the explanation about this source of DATA: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/1148422?availability=Family%20History%20Library

Would be grateful to receive help.

Thank you!
