I'm happy to help. I know many of the things I share are targeted to beginner and intermediate level researchers. I'm always happy to share something new with more experienced folks like yourself. BTW.. What did you learn?
Lol... how many Joneses can you fit into the Orange Co. NY census in 1850? Thank you! really enjoyed this video and the logical approach, which sadly I had to find on my own while researching the Jones family... married to Smiths!
I have done this kind of research before. I just didn't know it had a name. LOL My genealogy research has been off and on since the 1980s. I haven't been a very active for a few years now and I'm just starting to get back to it. Thank you for your videos they are very helpful. 👏
I'm happy to let you know what you didn't know. (Nod to previous video that you commented on). Now you know that you've done advanced genealogy research, even though you didn't know the name.
My daughter in law found her ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War and shared the information with me. Since it was only the male line, I decided to further that information about the females. Low and behold, I found that George Washington was a 4th cousin 6 times removed and Scottish ancestors that went all the way back to Robert the Bruce (then back to Charlemagne)

I have found many men with military service that represent wars back to 1812. My father wasn't one of them and it was unknown to me until the last five years. There were two females that served in WW 2 among them.
I was researching Hilma Matilda Wallander from Sweden. I found a record there saying she'd moved to America. I found a woman with that name in California. However, she was married to a German guy named Wallander (this IS a Swedish last name). So is this her? I don't know. What I do know is that she was listed on the same sheet on the 1920 census as her brother, Gustav Rudolf… Soooo, did her husband take her name? Maybe?
In your case, you'll want to do research to disprove all other theories before stating the likelihood that the two women are the same. That would be a little different than cluster research. But you would research larger cluster for the brother, and the German Wallander to see if you can unravel your mystery.
I think I have heard of this term before and apparently I recently started a project which probably falls into this category. My surname is Jernigan and I was at one time the Administrator of the Jernigan DNA Project at Family Tree DNA and through doing that initial Y-chromosome test discovered (not surprisingly to me actually) that my surname and Y-chromosome do not match. And that I actually match (as high as the Big Y level) TONS of guys with the surname of CHANDLER. And was a member of the Chandler Family Association, etc. Through the documents I am able to successfully prove my own ancestry back to my great-great grandfather, James Silas Jernigan. I have found records for him, including land records, in Marshall County, Alabama. So I decided earlier this year to go through the land records of Marshall County, Alabama and see if there were any occasions when he might have been located physically near any persons with the surname CHANDLER. The project also helps the Chandler Family Association and the Chandler One-Name Study. So, I have been forwarding all of the transcripts of land records to them as well. I have also been creating maps (using graph paper) to plot where the lands in question were. This is somewhat difficult due to the fact that what was once dry land is now under Lake Guntersville. And the exact location of where it was is not necessarily even exactly where it is now due to the effects of water flooding land. But, hopefully I may eventually find some items that link something together. Other than that I have pretty much run out of options to find a possible father for him.
@@FamilyHistoryFanatics Thanks. I would have to say the most helpful information to get to this point was my Ancestry DNA matches. They did not prove when my Non-Paternal Event (NPE) occurred, but, probably indicated strongly when it did not.
@@FamilyHistoryFanatics I would love to see more videos on the Genealogical Proof Standard. Will definitely help point me in the right direction 🌻 keep it up 😀
That's fun. My Townsends (so far) are from Franklin County, Ohio. The current legend is the father of the siblings I discovered was from Maryland somewhere.
I couldn't get this on my desktop but can access it on my tablet. Odd, but glad I can watch. I always learn something.
How are you doing Patricia?

Darn those common names. My mother's line is full of Smith, Long, Young, and Brown ancestors. Not fun. Not fun at all.

That's great detective work. Good job!

Godparents, witnesses, brothers and sisters and their husbands and wives, they are all important and have helped me break walls from time to time.
I would have to agree. Thanks for watching and sharing your list of cluster groups.

I did find a brother to my Townsend brick wall ancestor serving in the same Civil War Unit.

@@FamilyHistoryFanatics I've notified the family and detailed the mystery. There are no more records to unravel it on Familysearch at this time.

I have Towson cousins in canada.
