Part 874bm – Brunhammer Doherty Genealogy – McAteer Descendant Chart – Updated

Good Day,

As I progress with my search and research in family lines I like to create my own descendant charts. The following is an updated Descendant Chart for the McAteer family line that I am current exploring.

The Descendant Chart is as follows:

I use the software GenoPro which is a genealogy software assists in the creation of family trees and genograms.

You’ll notice that I have discovered a couple of ways that the surname has been put down on paper: McAteer; MacAteer; and MacKeteer. And as usual please know that this data may change as we uncover new and more documentation and information.

If you have any information and data that may assist us in this re-creation please feel to contact me, via this Blog or by email.

From what I can find a "Starcher" may have been a "Laundry worker who stiffened shirts and other garments with hot starch in a tumbling machine."  Six years later gg-grandfather John's occupation is registered on the 1900 US Census as "Policeman."

Part 623b – Brunhammer Genealogy – New and Updated Descendant Charts

Good Day,

Following up with the discovery of the related information regarding Great-Grandaunt Lizzie Brunhammer (see Part 616b) I have updated the Brunhammer Descendant Chart. The Genealogy of the Brunhammer Family continues to grow.

This Descendant Chart is not only restricted to Andy’s Blood Line; the identified in individuals in blue and yellow. It also includes various Collateral Lines as those individuals; ancestors and connections, relate to him.

And as the information and data, the ancestors and the relative connections continue to grow, based on our search and research, I have found it necessary to split the whole Brunhammer Descendant Chart into three Parts: A, B, and C. These three Parts will be added to the Brunhammer drop-down menu at the top of each page on A Genealogy Hunt. I will also include a complete Brunhammer Descendant Chart but I must warn you that as the genealogy grows the complete one will become harder to read.

And the search and research continues.

Part 615b – Brunhammer Genealogy – New and Updated Descendant Chart

Good Day,

Supper, not bad… actually quite good. Sous-vide pork loin chops spiced with garlic and herbs; mashed carrots mixed with olive oil and lemon; and roasted peppery spring potatoes accompanied with fig and mint yoghurt dip. Not bad… and I’m still experimenting. Really enjoy cooking with my Sous-Vide thing-a-ma-jig, even though it looks like an old-school doctor’s sterilizing unit.

And tonight I decided to work on the preliminary new and updated Brunhammer Descendant Chart.

This Descendant Chart pictures the Genealogy of the Brunhammer Family, especially Andy’s blood line. (All direct blood line individuals, albeit the ancestors are highlighted in blue-outline and yellow.)

As you can see there are a number of new additions, in red, to the humungous Chart. I will in time be splitting or dividing the Chart into associated Parts.

My Tangent – No, I’m Not Playin’ Possum

Afternoon,

No, I’m not playin’ possum. I’ve moved into Item 5 of the microfilm FHL [1563380]. And wouldn’t you know it the first Record from the Grenada Registers of Records is over 20 pages long. Its main focus is Grenada but the number of persons and the years and amount of figures is just amazing. It is so easy to get sidetracked when I encounter new names. The search for the origins of my ggg-grandfather James Smith just takes so many turns and proffers so many paths that I have to keep reigning myself in. Stay focused Jim, stay focused.

And when I took the 4-Pack for their midnight walk last night, Bella encountered a creature tinier than herself.

Yep, the images are of a baby opossum. It seemed to have been abandoned by its mother. She was nowhere around. It was just hanging around MC's lamp-post across the street catching at bugs and stuff. And yes, I did not take it in. It is a real rodent with sharp teeth and a snake-clean tail. But it just sat there watching the 4-Pack, and waited for me to take them in and return with my camera.

Two names from the next Record include Thomas Walpole of Stagbury, Epsom, Surrey and Marie Catherine Louise Dunot de Granval de St. Maclou Comte de Lardenoy. And of course I had to search for these names. It is amazing what one now finds in Internetland. Oh and by the way, the lady’s complete name has been published as Marie-Catherine-Louise-Félix du Dunot de Saint-Maclou. She married one Antoine Philippe Comte de Lardenoy who’s appellation also appears in the forth-coming Record.

One of my tangents has discovered some new information to the McAteer Family of the Brunhammer Family Tree. I’m on to it.

Stay tuned. As the above-mentioned Record is so long and covers many pages I am contemplating posting the complete over a series of parts. And thank you Sandy and JK for your comments and constructive criticisms.

Part 214b – Brunhammer Doherty Genealogy – 1917 Marriage – Harry E. Brunhammer & Anna M. McAteer

Afternoon,

Today I’m easing my eyes from scanning the 1810’s script of the scribes of the Grenada Registers Transcription project… This posting is of the 1917 Marriage of Andy’s grandparents Harry (Henry) E. Brunhammer and Anna M. McAteer.

Somewhere in the throes of my files are copies of this document that Carol, Sally, Andy, and I found, along with a number of other documents, a few years ago at the Delaware Public Archives. As the copies are all paper, the process to scan and categorize does take some time.

But most recently Ancestry.com has added and updated, which they continue to do regularly, to their services three databases pertaining to Delaware: Birth Records 1800-1932; Marriage Records, 1806-1935; and Death Records, 1811-1933. And I have been able to download a number of Brunhammer related documents.

The first is a State of Delaware indexed record, filed by the Groom’s surname, which appears to be the notation and recording by Rector of St. Ann’s Church, in Wilmington.

My transcription:

Brunhammer, Harry (Henry) E.
I hereby certify that on the Eighteenth day of September
A.D. 1917, at Wilmington in the County of New Castle
at the hour of Four o’clock P.M. Harry (Henry) E. Brunhammer
of Wilmington Del. and Anna M. McAteer
of Wilmington Del were by me united in the Holy Bonds of Matrimony in accordance
with the laws of the State of Delaware.

Part 137b – Brunhammer Doherty Genealogy – Brunhammer Descendant Chart Updated – Where Do You Fit In?

This one’s a quick good morning.

I’ve updated the Brunhammer Descendant Chart to include some of the cross-reference codes in my genealogy work. I’ve also consolidated the two Brunhammer Charts in order that you may be able to see a continuous generational line on one presentation. All-things-being-equal when you go to print this Chart it may require more than one page.

I would appreciate hearing from any Brunhammer/Brunhamer as to the credibility and acceptance of this work. Even though you may be a descendant of Johannes Conradus Bruhamer, we would like to find out from which family line you are connected. If you know from whom in this Descendant Chart that you are descended please contact me.

I will shortly be replacing the two Charts that make up this one whole Chart that are now in the green left-hand column.

Enjoy,

Part 110w – Brunhammer Genealogy – A New Set of GGGrandparents – Michael & Anne Walsh

Afternoon,

Who knows where else this genealogy search will take me? I am also fascinated by the coincidences I run across when I am researching two completely different families.

Insert: The Shoemaker, circa 1908, 
from the Spencer Museum of Art, University of Kansas.

In my continued trek, see Part 106w, from Wilmington, Delaware to Ware, Massachusetts; to Gloucester City, New Jersey in the United States; to Bradford, in Yorkshire, England; to Marlboro, Ireland, I’ve been searching for clues. And last night, Eureka! I believe I discovered the parents and sisters of great-grandmother Annie (née Walsh) Brunhammer. Great-great-grandparents Michael and Anne Walsh, and great-grandaunts Mary Agnes, Julia, and Teresa were found on an 1881 England Census at Bradford.

The new Walsh Descendant Chart –

From the 1881 England Census, great-grandmother Annie (née Walsh) Brunhammer and her three listed sisters: great-grandaunts Mary Agnes, Julia, and Teresa were all born in Bradford, Yorkshire, in England. All-things-being-equal, Bradford is about 67 miles or 108 kilometers from Liverpool or about a day’s walk. From the US Censuses that I have been able to find, great-grandmother Annie and, possibly her family migrated to the United States circa 1883 and 1884. I have not been able to determine their point of entry.

Per the 1881 England Census the Walsh family lived at 145 Exeter Street in Bradford. Great-great-grandfather Michael was a “Boot and Shoe Maker”. The following is my transcription of the 1881 England Census -

And here are images of the two pages of the 1881 Census, Reference: - R.G. 11/4446.

Sources: The National Archives, London, England and Ancestry.com.uk

To date, based on Andy’s 16 Ancestral Lines and simply by calculating it mathematically, we can extrapolate that this American Brunhammer is made up of 6¼% American; 12½% French; 37½% Irish; and 43¾% unknown, which may be a mix of Irish and English.

Part 103m – McAteer Genealogy – New Descendant Chart

Evening, and this has been a long day,

As promised I have created the fourth Descendant Chart of Andy’s eight ancestral lines; the McAteer Genealogy. Grandmother Anna (also known as Anne) Madelyn (née McAteer) was married to Grandfather Harry Emmet Anthony Brunhammer in Wilmington, Delaware on the 18 December 1917. Grandmother Anne was one of five daughters of great-grandparents John and Isabella Barbara (née Pierce) Brunhammer. Her four siblings were Florida, Ella, and the twins Terressa/Theresa and Edna I. McAteer.

The Descendant Chart is as follows:

Last night as I was working on the McAteer Descendant Chart I discovered a number of possible facts that could open the McAteer genealogy another three generations. These facts are the reporting of house addresses and locations on a number of consecutive Censuses and Wilmington City Directories. A number of the corresponding addresses are as follows:

1. 1860 US Census – 1st Ward, City of Wilmington – Michael McAteer and family
2. 1870 US Census – Christiana Hundred – Edward MacKeteer and family
3. 1870 US Census – Wilmington Subdivision No 28 – Michael McAteer and family
4. 1880 US Census – DuPont Street, Wilmington – Edward MacAteer and family
5. 1880 US Census – 1813 Shallcross Avenue, Wilmington – Michael McAteer and family
6. 1879-80 Wilmington City Directory – 220 Adams – D. McAteer; John McAteer
7. 1879-80 Wilmington City Directory – Riddle’s banks – Edward McAteer
8. 1879-80 Wilmington City Directory – Shallcross near Lincoln – Michael McAteer
9. 1880-81 Wilmington City Directory – 310 Taylor – Charles McAteer
10. 1880-81 Wilmington City Directory – 220 Adams – Dennis McAteer; John McAteer
11. 1880-81 Wilmington City Directory – Riddle’s banks - Edward McAteer
12. 1880-81 Wilmington City Directory – Shallcross near Lincoln – Michael McAteer
13. 1900 US Census – 1813 Shallcross Avenue, Wilmington City – John McAteer and family
14. 1900 US Census – 1819 Lovering, Wilmington City – Ellen McAteer and son Neil
15. 1920 US Census - 1819 Lovering, Wilmington City – Ellen McAteer, daughter Mary Farren and granddaughter Ellen Farren

In my continued McAteer research I have, thanks to Carol, Kitty, and Andy, attempted to connect the generations based on the data that I have thus far come across. At this point in time it looks that the McAteer line could have started with great-great-grandparents Edward and Ellen (née unknown) MacAteer. You’ll notice that I have discovered a couple of ways that the surname has been put down on paper: McAteer; MacAteer; and MacKeteer. And as usual please know that this data may change as we uncover new and more documentation and information.

If you have any information and data that may assist us in this re-creation please feel to contact me, via this Blog or by email.

Enjoy,

Part 98b – Brunhammer Sixteen Ancestral Lines

Morning,

Gathering the current information that we have collected to date, I have created a Brunhammer Sixteen Ancestral Lines Chart, continuing from the Eight Ancestral Lines Chart in Part 94b.

As you can see we need your help. At the great-great-grandparent generation we’re missing some information; three names and eight locations of origin. If you have come across any of this vital data please let us know. You can email me or make a comment to this posting.

And as this Chart is unique to Andy, please contact me if you would like a similar one created for you.

Enjoy,

Jim
