largest clue of all, even if the handwriting is microscopic. Mrs. Barbara Pickert marries in Hancock County, Illinois, in 1859. A slip of paper included with the marriage indicates in tiny script at the very bottom of the page that Mrs. Pickert \u201chas no lawful husband living.\u201dI almost ignored the reference. Barbara\u2019s first husband Peter Bieger (or Pickert) was known to have been dead by late 1855. It was initially thought that the reference was to him. The longer I thought the more odd it seemed that the phrase \u201cno lawful husband living\u201d was used when the shorter term of \u201cwidow\u201d would have sufficed. Later research revealed that Barbara was apparently married for a short time in 1856 to a George Fennan who abandoned her\u2013hence the phrase \u201cno <em style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%">lawful </em>husband living.\u201d</font></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 16px;padding:0px;outline:0px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb(37,41,42);text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><strong style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%">How Long Have I Known You?</strong><br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><strong style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"></strong>There may be references in a record or document that have no bearing on the case, but that do have bearing on the family being researched. Court testimony from an 1877 court case indicated that Christian Williams had known my ancestor Mimke Habben for at least twenty years. Mimke immigrated to the United States in the 1860s. If I had not known where Mimke was from in Germany, my research should have concentrated on Christian. Since Christian had known my ancestor since at least 1857, they had known each other in Germany. Court testimony and military pension papers are great sources for finding references to individuals who have known your ancestor for a specified period of time.</font></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 16px;padding:0px;outline:0px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb(37,41,42);text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><strong style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%">What Does It Mean?</strong><br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><strong style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"></strong>In a guardianship record from Kentucky in 1814, my ancestor is referred to as an infant. In 1815 she marries. Before anyone draws any inappropriate conclusions, it should be noted that the guardianship record is using the legal definition of infant. Consequently the 1814 reference to Melinda Sledd as an infant only indicates she is under the legal age of majority, not that she is a newborn. Viewed in this light her 1815 marriage to Augusta Newman is no longer viewed as suspect.</font></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 16px;padding:0px;outline:0px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb(37,41,42);text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><strong style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%">Are They Sharing Luggage?</strong><br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><strong style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"></strong>When one of my ancestral families immigrated in 1853, the passenger manifest indicated that they and another couple were sharing a set of luggage.

When typing up the transcription as part of a report on the entire family, she realized how the likely error occurred and was able to make additional headway with her research. Reading the document over and over did not bring about the revelation.</font></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 16px;padding:0px;outline:0px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb(37,41,42);text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><font face="georgia, serif" size="4"><strong style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%">Read the Document Out Loud</strong><br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><strong style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><br style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"></strong>While this may not make you immediately popular with others in your household, it can make it easier to notice details based upon the way words could have sounded to your ancestor.

It was somewhat of a challenge as I needed to review land records for those couples who were landowners to determine where their properties were located. The chart also included a reason for why each marker was placed where it was. None of my relatives during this time period were absentee landowners\u2013all lived on their properties. Two families were not landowners during this time period and their residence is only known as precisely as the township. I suspect that the Fecht family lived near the Habbens, but have no direct evidence to support that theory.</font></p><p style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px 0px 16px;padding:0px;outline:0px;line-height:1.6;color:rgb(37,41,42);text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><font face="georgia, serif" size="4">And I immediately noticed the following when the image was added to this post:</font></p><ul style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:auto 1.5em 1em;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%;color:rgb(23,37,42)"><li style="box-sizing:border-box;margin:0px;padding:0px;outline:0px;text-align:initial;max-width:100%"><font face="georgia, serif" size="4">I cut off part of Prairie Township\u2013because I think both families lived in the southern half of that township.
