This week was a busy non-genealogy week, and I’m surprised I was able to find much time to work on the family tree. While I met my people goal, I was not as successful with the completion of the Jarboe family. I still have two of Sara Rhodes Jarboe’s children left to research. I’m confident that I can finish that task in the coming week. This will also wrap up the Rhodes family as well. Sara was the youngest daughter of Sylvester and Martha. I can then move on to the fourth known daughter of Luke and Martha Cox Cassidy…yet another Sarah.

For the most part it was a fairly unremarkable genealogy week. No DNA matches added to the tree. No murders, tragic accidents, or unusual deaths. Just very large farm families who made their roots in Central Illinois. Maybe the coming week will be more exciting!

This week in the past…
I’d like to take an opportunity to celebrate the anniversaries of births, marriages, and deaths of my bloodlines which will occur during the week ahead.
292 years ago – Death of Susanna Whitehead Bunnell (10th ggm)
257 years ago – Marriage of Hannah Sanderson (6th ggm) and William Johnson (6th ggf)
255 years ago – Birth of John Coppock (4th ggf)
214 years ago – Birth of Sarah Ireland Reeve (4th ggm)
200 years ago – Death of Margaretha Nikolaus (5th ggm)
191 years ago – Marriage of Eva Korz (4th ggm) and Michael Keller (4th ggf)
185 years ago – Birth of Apollonia Braun Keller (3rd ggm)
171 years ago – Death of Nicolaus Sievers (4th ggf)
152 years ago – Death of Francis W Gravel (4th ggf)

Goals and progress…
Beginning of Week: 27,112 people
End of Week: 27,182 people
Change = +70 people – GOAL MET!
Goal for coming week: Add 50 new people and finish up Sara Rhodes Jarboe’s family.

I was a little overly optimistic thinking I could finish up Martha Cassidy Rhodes family this week. Her youngest daughter Sara Rachel Rhodes Jarboe had eight children. I’m not quite half way complete on fleshing out her descendants.

The Jarboes originally remained in Perry County, Indiana, but then moved to east central Illinois in the late 1910s. The family initially settled in Piatt County, but as the children started families of their own, they were mostly concentrated in Champaign County, with farming as the main means of support. Up to this point, very few from the younger generations have moved away from the area.

My place name clean up was focused on Champaign County this week. In addition to the county in Illinois, there were several locations in Champaign County, Ohio that were standardized as well. As a result of my efforts, nearly 40 place records were removed. The changes impacted facts for more than 100 people so it wasn’t for naught.

I also had a new DNA match that I documented in my tree. She is a third cousin on my mother’s side of the family. There wasn’t much to add since I had her parents in my tree already.
