Time for more Genealogy Fun!
1) What was your best research achievement in 2018? Tell us - show us a document, or tell us a story, or display a photograph. Brag a bit! You've earned it!
2) We all have elusive ancestors. What research problem do you want to work on in 2019? Tell us where you want to research and what you hope to find.
Well, it is actually Sunday afternoon, but I thought I'd accept the challenge.
I think my best research achievement for 2018 would be finding evidence to support a story my grandmother Briles told me about her grandfather. According to my grandmother, her grandfather got involved in a creamery and 'lost his shirt'. I wrote about finding newspaper articles about a court case referred to as the creamery mess involving George Mentzer in my previous blog, Creamery Mess.
Upon further research, I found quite a few newspaper articles about the Yates Center Creamery. I also found two court transcripts related to the case. Those newspapers articles and the court transcripts were transcribed in my blog post, Creamery Mess Part 2.
