Random Updatia

[ellyssian]

So, the bug that's bugging me lately - maybe even more so than the Japanese beetles - is the European hornet. Here's a picture of why, part one. Part two is that they like lights at night and have stopped us from coming in the door a few times.

And tonight, the damn hornet - a little bigger than my thumb - is in the CFL by the garage. Flew up into the coil. I replaced the light in front and back with CFL bug lights, and we were going to do that one when we noticed the hornet's business end. Hoped it was dead, but at a tap from a stick, it climbed further in. So we skipped that light.

In other, unrelated news, Justin is off with friends watching the football game at the high school.

Genealogy - Ingalsbe/Ingold(e)sby

[redbeard76.livejournal.com]

Hi Everett,

I found this site on the web by researching my own genealogy. Somehow we are distant cousins as it turns out. I've just recently started my own blog at redbeardonredsox.blogspot.com and I invite you to check it out. I've just started it this summer so there's not much there compared to here and your myspace. I've linked my lineage much as the same as yours, John Ingoldsby came over from England in 1640 to the Massachusetts Bay Colony at about the age of 20, married in Boston.

Currently I live in northwest Vermont, but was born in Glens Falls, NY, where for several generations the Ingalsbe family has resided in nearby Washington County, NY. Other Ingalsbes still reside near Fort Edward, NY, whilst others have migrated to Kansas (I remember meeting them at one point as a child, all of which carry the Ingalsbe prominent feature, the oversized nose, possibly carried down from Cromwell lineage). My grandmother on my father's side was Esther Louise Dalbey, nee Ingalsbe.

Feel free to contact me at stevedalbey@yahoo.com or post a comment on my blog. Thanks for taking the time to read this and have a brilliant day.

Are these people from the Warren's or Mcfadden's?

Dad would be so excited if he didn't already know of them. I did recognize the last name, but don't recall if it was from the present day or past.

Re: WOW --

Yeah, Dad knew about the Ingoldsby line - actually found some of the material in the folders.

I hadn't, however, come across that stuff back when I posted this.

Re: WOW --

The Warren's come from English and German stock re what we were told in 1964, before Dad got interested in the past.

You have a lot of mixtures in you, from his family and from mine. But, over the centuries wouldn't some of the dna bits gotten diluted or eliminated or just become a mishmash or simply melted away?

Re: WOW --

Well, yeah. Dad has some thing written down that shows the number of grandparents at each level - the material he has goes far enough back that we're at the "millions" of great x ? grandparents level. To a certain degree, you pick and choose lines to follow - at least as far as actively researching them. I mix that with "whatever info I can get" because at that point, it's all interesting history. I currently have 1054 families & over 3100 individuals. The software I'm using to track has a website to share the info, but it costs to post trees larger than 1000 people. The software also doesn't work on the Mac, and I'm trying not to use it on the work PC. I'll likely switch at some point in the future.

That was the post that led me to you. Surprisingly, Duffy had contacted me this weekend as well for the first time. I realize it's been awhile since you posted that, but don't be a stranger.

Re: WOW --

In my latest reply to my mom I gave some of the reasons why it's been so long - also have a ton of other things going on, but I do want to keep things going.

I've still got a ton of raw material to enter in - just counting names & dates; beyond that, there's several tons of supporting materials, photos, interesting stories, and what not that also need to be tracked. Actually, most of what Duffy provided still hasn't been entered - I worked my way down the line as far as I could, and was just starting to come back up towards more modern times on all the other branches.

Hi to your mom!

So you're related to the Ingalsbes through your dad's line? I haven't dug into much of what you've posted so far (there's so much!) and need some time to do that (which is hard to do with a toddler banging around the house, getting into everything!).

Rock on...

Re: WOW --

[ellyssian.livejournal.com]

Yeah, back a few Greats (three, I believe), Grandpa Warren married an Ingalsbe.

If you'd like, I can e-mail a GEDCOM file with what I have so far. I believe I have a rather current extract on the home system, and, if not, I can generate another one from what I have so far and pass that along.

I'm smart enough not to say that, as time goes by, it will get easier, regarding toddlers and all, but I will say that as kids age, it gets... different. =)
