Etzel Research, part III

EUREKA.

Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio
Probate Court Archived Records Search Marriage License Index (1817-1983)



John Etzel and Maria (Schumacher) Etzel are both listed in 1854, volume 6, page 635.  Married in 1854?  Fits with what I know about John Etzel's emigration from Germany to the United States in 1854.  Daughter Rose was born in 1855 in Ohio (guessing Cincinnati), which also fits.

 Adding to the collection of Etzel sourcing!

Pay It Forward

A bit of joy for my Friday! Our mail delivery within our little military community here in Sicily is so.very.sloooooow.  What makes it maddening is that it can be a combination of super-fast and super-slow...so no one seems to balk at the trend of inconsistency.  Maybe I complain enough for everyone :). I'm in the middle of a few genealogical mysteries - one of them being the family origins of a Mr. Joseph W. Daly, a paternal great-grandfather of my husband.  Like most of the challenging parts of our tree, I hit a wall with Joseph a few months back and promptly put him aside when something a little more lucrative came along.  For sake of ease.  Now, we meet again.  For this one, I even consulted a few curious friends.  I felt like maybe I wasn't searching deep enough or with the right "keywords" online or in my genealogy search engines.  Some researchers have favored methodologies for searching, and I felt I needed to branch out.  One ...

On the road again

England, here we come!   "Remember Me - a Genealogy Journal" is heading to Oxford, England for a week of fun in the...well...rain and cold!  Much more fun than that, we'll visit with friends from several military moves ago.  At this point, we each have two children (!) and have aged nearly 10 years (!!).  Here's to hoping we still look the same! With better planning, I really could have made this a fantastic genealogy trip.  The fact is...the places we'd like to visit are over 2 1/2 hours driving distance from our rental cottage in Oxford.  Sans kids, this would have been doable.  BUT - with two under the age of 5, and one of them still consistently napping, we'll take a more conservative approach.  Before we move away from Europe, I'd love to return to visit Dorset (TREVETT family) and Thirsk, Yorkshire (SMITH family).  I know that many, many more of my ancestors are from the UK.  Identifying their actual birth places is on the ho...

Wedding Wednesday

Today's "Wedding Wednesday" picture is definitely not "old" by antique standards!  But - it's a great starting place for this blog celebrating family. (6 March 2004, Navy Supply Corps School, Athens, Georgia.  Photo held by Sarah Melvey.) On March 6, 2004, my husband Paul and I celebrating our wedding in Athens, Georgia.  After a short ceremony in a packed military chapel on base (complete with blazing temperatures due to an early Spring heatwave), we commemorated the event at a casual dinner at the Officer's Club.  Chaplain Uhall officiated the service.  Family and friends numbered about 120.  How wonderful that our extended family and friends from Minnesota, Arizona, Colorado, Ohio, Washington, D.C., California, Georgia, and Florida could travel to Athens for our simple (and quickly-planned) wedding. After two years of courtship, Paul proposed on New Year's Eve at the now-defunct Harry Bissett's restaurant in Athens...site of our first...
