I missed #ancestryhour yesterday as I was busy breaking a wall I've had for months. Thanks to a generous researcher who went through 700+ pages of census to help me find a family, I have now been able to put names on the people in these family pictures. ImageImage
Here they are: geni.com/people/L%C3%A9…

Better yet, I now know that Léonie Baranger was my great-grand-mother's (who appears on the first picture) cousin (1C1R actually), hence the reason I have this pic.

Next step: find descendants to send them the pictures!

#ancestryhour
And, for the fun, colorized versions of the pics using #Deoldify

Welcome to the 20s, in color :-) ImageImage

Two good surprises this week!

#ancestryhour

1. I was contacted by a lady who inherited a big pile of letters from ~1889, sent to her ancestor by a teenager friend from Paris. This friend often mentions her neighbor friends in her letters: my ggfather A. Dreyfus and his family.
2. My mom found ~50 letters from 1870-1871, sent from Paris to my ancestor Adolphe Grünberg as he was away with his family during the siege of the city by the Prussians. I only saw 3 letters so far, but it's very promising content!
There are in particular some letters about the children organizing theater plays and operas, with some fun scenes.

🧵 What are some genealogy mysteries you're hoping to solve this year? 🧵
1. I'm hoping to find out what really happened with the Fort Daspoortrand plans in Pretoria during the Boer War in 1900.

When Felix Zottier was found with plans of this fort in his home, he claimed to be the original designer and accused Leon Grunberg of copying his work...
This was never proved, and Zottier fled South Africa shortly after, apparently to Madagascar. I'm hoping I can find out what really happened...

On the 16th of January 1799, in Ligny-le-Ribault (Loire Valley, near Chambord), in the wake of the French revolution, my ancestor Marguerite Pinson gave birth to her first born son, François Pinson. No father was declared. #AncestryHour #mystery
At that time, Marguerite's older sister Marie Françoise Pinson was married to Firmin Moreau. However, after giving birth to two boys, Marie Françoise died in 1803. Firmin stayed at the Pinson farm and started living with Marguerite. #AncestryHour
In the 10 years that followed, Firmin and Marguerite had 6 children, all recognized by their father, even though they were not married (something I've never seen anywhere else at that time in my family). Yet François remained without a recognized father. #AncestryHour
