Genealogy

Born in San Antonio Zambalez Philippines. I am trying to find out more on my ancestry. Currently in US and have been since I was 2. My mother doesn't really talk about her family there because it makes her sad but, I would like to find out more on my heritage. Tribe? Culture? etc... I know there are a lot of general info out there but not much specific to each region. She mentioned that I grew up in Subic Bay..

Also... Family name is Calcis

As I know it, the USA only allows dual citizenship with Puerto Rico. I've heard of people coming to the USA who become citizens in the USA yet who do not reject the citizenship in the country from which they came. I do genealogy and know that in the late 1800's and early 1900's that it was a requirement that you reject your old country if you wished to become a citizen in the USA. Give me your understanding and info in this regard, i.e. don't people these days have to reject citizenship in their old country anymore? Thanks.

I recently found out, my great grandfather was born under one name (Smith), and then moved to another state and started using another name (Jones), but did not legally change it, over 75 years ago. My entire family goes by the second name (Jones), but what is legal? Should we be under the first name?

We are considering a paid membership to ancestry.com (the worldwide membership, not the USA only version). We would be researching family in Hungary, Greece and Italy. Would also use it to try to find information about our family after they arrived in the USA.

We are wondering if it is really worth the money. We really would like to see actual documents and link things to our family tree, which is already on ancestry.com (as a free user).

I'd like to know if you think it is really worth the money, as it isn't cheap... Also, if we get the membership, can we cancel it after a month or so? If we do cancel it, will it delete the family tree we've been working so hard on???

We just found out that my great-grandmother's family came to the USA from a town called Munkacs in what was then Hungary. The town is located in what today is the Ukraine. Until finding out this information about my great-grandmother we knew NOTHING about them. Nothing. So we are very excited obviously!

So - based on this, would my great-grandparents have been Hungarian, or Ukrainian? Should we say our family is Hungarian or Ukrainian? I would imagine we should say Hungarian, since that is what it was when they lived there. Any opinions?????

Such as this one: http://juch.org/gedpages/fam/fam15118.htm

If you follow it far enough back it will lead you all the way to Methuselah, Abraham, Rebecca, Adam, and Eve.

So how do you know when the factual family tree ends and the mythical people start?

Does anyone know anything about the Poor House in Charleston, WV during the 20's? My mother had told me her mother, whose name is Julia Simms died there. This is my grandmother. Her husband was Edward Simms. My grandmother, Julia year of birth was probably around 1908, and her year of death was probably around 1929. My mother, Frances Elizabeth Simms, was born July 3, 1928. She was 13 months when her mother died. My mother had told me that her father had bit her mother, causing her to contract blood poisoning. Which led to her death in 1929. She was adopted by a couple by the name of Elder Joseph Mills Wallace and Wilemena Howard of Hampton,VA . She died in 1932.

Brief story: My half great-great uncle went to San Juan del Norte, Nicaragua, Jan 8, 1892, presumably to help build the Nicaragua Canal, which never materialized. I have his emergency passport application dated March 29, 1902, in which he said he would return to the US in 3 years. I assume he went to work on the Panama Canal. I have nothing after that on him and he was not buried in Ogdensburg, NY with his mother and siblings.

There is a ton of info on the web, too much for me to wade through right now. Has anyone researched this and found out what would have happened to Americans who died while building the Panama Canal, or Americans temporarily residing in Nicaragua?

After five years of looking for him, I finally found out today where he was then because Ancestry.com just released US Passport Applications this morning. So you can imagine how happy I am to have broken this brick wall, but now have another.

His name was Emery Leveille but he changed it to Emery Lowery. B. 8/1861 NY

I am searching for information on Esmerelda Bryant listed in the
1860 Cincinnati, Hamilton Co. Ohio census. She is also listed in
the 1870 census, same place. Her father is listed as Isac Bryant
[Isaac] mother Mary. and a few brothers and sisters. I'm trying to
establish weather she is the Essie Bryant of that county who
married Robert W. Logan in 1876 or 1877. All the dates seem to match. Do
you know anything about this family?
In the 1870 census, she is listed as Ezzie. Not too big a jump to
Essie which is the name my grt. grandmother went by. This census has Mary as head of household. I would like copies of these two census records.
Sure would appreciate any help you might afford.

I live in the North east coast of England where the Vikings invaded as most of the settlers were men, as very few bought wives with them, do you think genetically this invasion still reflects in the current population? Its just something ive visually noticed walking around. (even in myself and my brother)
