Kinnick 1940 Census Substitute

Kinnick 1940 "Census Substitute" based on City Directories at Ancestry.com

When I entered "KINNICK" as the surname, there were 112 entries. The following list was created by only counting each entry once (where there were multiple city directory year entries). That got us down to 70. Further analysis is needed, but this is a good list to work with for my purposes. At the end of the list I'll make some notable observations for purposes of this "first pass!"

First pass notes:
1. The most famous KINNICK is Heisman Trophy Winner Nile C Kinnick, Jr., University of Iowa football great and U.S. Navy pilot who died in WWII. He is listed at his dorm residence in Iowa City in 1938. In 1940, he is listed with his father and brother at their home in Omaha, NE, prior to returning to Iowa City for law school.

2. For me, it was neat to see my uncle, Leo (my mother's older brother), listed in school in Des Moines, in 1936 [this is the year my mother graduated from high school]. Leo was at Commercial College to become a banker, which he did.

3. Mom and Leo's first cousin, Ila [I knew her as "Ila Jean"] is listed in Des Moines, as a maid. I think she was at beautician school, as well.

4. I do recognize many of the names, especially those in Montana, Florida and California as persons in my database, identified from 1930 and earlier census data. It will be fun to work through the further identification process.

Surnames Saturday - DUNCAN

On previous Saturdays, we have reported all of the known ancestor lineage surnames through  the great-grandparent surnames (see earlier Saturday Surname posts in the left column, scroll down - back into 2009).

From the "round of sixteen" - great-great grandparents (scroll down a bit...) - we have already reported six of the eight male surnames, two are unknown (from Denmark). Five of the eight on the female lines are known: ROLEN, BUTLER, CARLE, SIMMONS, and DUNCAN; these will be reported next.

Today, we finish the great-grandparents and will look briefly at DUNCAN.

Ann Eliza DUNCAN (1842-1879) married Elias WILLIAMS (1838-1920) on 20 Apr 1862 in Mercer Co, Illinois. They had 3 children who lived to adulthood. When the youngest of these, Josephine, was 3 years old, they moved to Iowa in 1875... first to Scranton, then to Coon Rapids shortly thereafter, where they lived the rest of their lives.

Ann was the daughter of Braxton DUNCAN (1798-1859) and  Araminta KIRK (1813-1855). Braxton was the son of Charles DUNCAN (1761-1838), a Revolutionary War soldier from Virginia (1777-1780).

Follow Friday - 5 Feb 2010

Thanks for stopping by this week. Comments welcomed.

POST:
"Blogging as Conversation" at geneabloggers.com is an excellent discussion of why we blog. I do my best to follow the recommendations. I hope you do as well.


BLOG:

Even if this is redundant, I am going to recommend the entire GeneaBlogger blog and related blogs of Thomas MacEntee based at http://www.geneabloggers.com/

For me, it is HOME BASE for genealogy bloggers. I have his RSS feed on my iGoogle page as my genealogy starting point each day of the week. There are always three new posts, each day, to direct my thinking and planning. I go a lot of other places as well, of course, but this is where I start, and where I come back to, every day. Check it out. Become familiar with it. I think you will agree with me.


INTERNET RESOURCE:

Today I am going to recommend that you look at the 1940 Census Substitute and 1950 Census Substitute at Ancestry.com. They are made up of City Directories, so they are do not include our many, many rural ancestors. However, as a research reference source, they are very nice. I am just beginning to make use of them, but I recommend you consider them.

Treasure Chest Thursday - Oldest photo

Following is a digital image of a copy of the oldest photo I have - the best estimate I can make is that is was taken in the Spring of 1844, shortly before some of her children (her son, Walter and his family, at least) moved from Belmont Co, Ohio, to Bureau Co, Illinois. It is believed that she died later in 1844, although we are still seeking confirmation documentation.

This is  Mary (ISAACS?) KINNICK, my 4th great-grandmother. Those of you who recall the KINNICK migration story will recall that we always discuss the migration from Maryland after the Revolutionary war as "John and Ann and their family moved to North Carolina and John and Mary and their family moved to Ohio." this is the Mary of John and Mary! [line is John and Mary, son Walter, son Walter Watson, son Alonzo, son Paul was my maternal grandfather]



Mary's husband John was the son of William KINNICK, Sergeant Major in the 6th Regiment of the Maryland Line in the Revolutionary War.

I want to thank members of the family of her granddaughter, Catherine KINNICK FLETCHER, for preserving this photo down through the years, and making a copy available to me.

Tombstone Tuesday - William E Smith

This marker is for my paternal grandfather, for whom I was named, William Emanuel Smith (1869-1939). He died four months after I was born, and he was the age I am right now, four months ago. This is at the Coon Rapids Cemetery, Coon Rapids, Iowa.

William was the first son of Michael SMITH (1829-1902) with his second wife, Margaret Nellie (Maggie) SODERSTROM (1846-1901).
