Unraveling the Mysteries of Women
-------------------------------

I was quoted several years ago in an article on the *FamilySearch *blog, “3
Ways to Unravel the Mysteries of Women in Your Family Tree
<https://familysearch.org/blog/en/3-ways-unravel-mysteries-women-family-tree/>.”
Female ancestors present challenges for ways mentioned in the article.

Here are few of my female ancestors for whom I was able to locate a great
deal of records and where those records were located:


   - Barbara (Siefert) Beiger Fennan Haase Haase (died in Illinois in
   1903)–two divorces (1870s and 1880s) and the guardianship of her children
   in the 1850s.
   - Nancy Jane (Newman) Rampley (died in 1923 in Illinois)–her denied
   Civil War widow’s pension was finally approved in the very early 20th
   century, after a great deal of testimony which documented much of her life
   before and after her marriage to the Civil War veteran.
   - Antje (Jaspers) Habben Fecht (died in 1900 in Illinois)–a family court
   case after her husband’s death in 1877 documented her operation of the
   family farm after his demise.
   - Susannah Rucker–deeds executed by her children in Orange and Amherst
   Counties in Virginia in the mid-18th century document her move from one
   county to another.

There is no doubt that female ancestors are more difficult to document than
male ancestors. One key is making certain you have researched everything
you can get your hands on and have interpreted every document in the
appropriate legal and historical context. Often records that are not
directly about females indirectly contain significant clues about them.
