Where does the puzzle piece "John K Carson" Fit?
If you've ever wondered what genealogical research is like, think about it like putting together a giant jig-saw puzzle.
But, rather than purchasing a complete puzzle in a box and only having to put it together, this puzzle has had all of it's peices, as well as all the peices to all the other puzzles, spilled out and placed into numerous boxes. Some of these boxes are easy to find, and some are hidden away. Some are labelled, and some are not. Some are easy to open, and some require that you complete some task or pay a fee. Some of the peices have been purposely changed over time, and some of them were changed by accident. Some of the boxes have burned, and some have been pilfered. How long will it take to complete that puzzle?
Genealogical research is like that to me. I just keep searching, knowing that their are more peices, but it's unlikely that I'll find them all.
In my last posting I gave you one of those peices, specifically, information about the marriage of John K Carson and Rachel Truax. But how do John and Rachel fit into the overall puzzle? One way of describing how they are related to me is with an Ahnentafel Report.
In simple terms, an Ahnentafel Report lists someone's ancestors in a concise manner. I prefer to produce reports beginning with my grandparents. As you can see from the report that I show below, this particular Ahnentafel Report begins with my grandfather, Chester Carson, and ends with John K Carson. It's only two generations in length because I'm not certain of his Great-Great Grandfather. I believe the next link in the Carson chain is William Carson. If I'm right, he was born in Ireland and married a woman from Germany. However, I have much work to do to prove this. If you can help, please do!
I can also produce a complete Ahnentafel Report for Chester that goes back to his 7G-Grandparents (seven Great's in front of Grandparents), which includes many of the branches that had to come together to make it possible for Chester to be born. That list ends with Philippe Antoni Du Trieux, born abt 1586, probably in Roubaix, Dept. du Nord, France. It is believed that Philippe Antoni died in New Amsterdam, on 8 Sep 1653 at the age of about 67. He married Susanna du Chesne on 17 Jul 1621 when he was 35, in Leiden, Holland. Susanna du Chesne, was born in 1601 in Sedan, Lorraine, France. Susanna died after 1654 when she was about 53.
