Welcome back! I hope you're feeling well.<br /><br />Don't you just love a good family history to research? This one seems very interesting--and challenging. Those name variations before standard spelling sometimes seem to have very wide variations.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-28610741643788714342011-10-02T16:51:13.540-04:002011-10-02T16:51:13.540-04:00Three spelling variations for a single event reall...Three spelling variations for a single event really is over the top. I've lost count of the spellings for my grandma Anna's name... and when she married my grandfather that just added to the fun.

Besides the actual record that you found, they also have hand written index pages where Annie's name was written as HOLTZ. So for one event there are three records with three spelling variations!Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-51451901155217436912011-10-01T13:49:05.677-04:002011-10-01T13:49:05.677-04:00Hello Apple,
I love the way you told this tale!
...Hello Apple, <br />I love the way you told this tale! <br /><br />Did you notice that FamilySearch recently put a collection of many very old Illinois Chicago Catholic Church records online? <br /><br />I've spent a lot of time on that site lately, so when I looked at the image of Annie's marriage record, the line under Denis Hayes looked like "Pastor St Roses" to me. I guessed it might be in the St Rose of Lima (Chicago) records... check image 63, Marriages 1882-1915... it's Anna Hotz & Emery Holmes, includes names of witnesses. <br /><br />Annie at the Transplantable Rose <br /><br />PS In lead paragraph wrap-up post change marriage date 1803 to 1903.Annie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-86255824598668493892011-09-22T08:42:02.693-04:002011-09-22T08:42:02.693-04:00Hi Kay,

I think I have a couple of more posts to write, the last being a timeline like yours to sum up what I've found and what still needs to be found or looked at. <br /><br />I hope you find Martha's parents. Based on her marriage license and the other things you have my feeling is that her maiden name was Conn and her mother's maiden name Jester. Ohio is a BIG state to search :-(Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-60078512952070099272011-09-20T07:26:01.082-04:002011-09-20T07:26:01.082-04:00I've been searching for years on my great, gre...I've been searching for years on my great, great grandmother trying to determine her maiden name. I have several leads but they all have gone nowhere. I don't know if you've already 'solved' your question and your series is about that journey or not. It looks like you've got a good start and I'm interested in the outcome.<br /><br />Anyone interested in taking up a research project, here's a post on some of what I've done to find my search my great, great grandmother: http://kbea831.wordpress.com/2009/03/29/whats-marthas-maiden-name/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
