<\/a><\/p>\nIn the last Blog, I looked into George, who was listed at 94. He was my 2nd great-grandfather.<\/p>\n
George is on the left in this photo.<\/p>\n Here is 60 South Main Street where William lived at the time of the birth of his first child in 1911.<\/p>\n This is taken from an Irish local history book and should be around 1919 if taken before the family leaves the US for Ireland.<\/p>\n I am related to the William Frazer branch through common ancestors George Frazer and Margaret McMaster. Here is how I am related to two people in William’s Line:<\/p>\n At Ancestry, I am a third cousin to Karen and her son Matthew.<\/p>\n Here are some other matches:<\/p>\n These all descend from James Robert born 1927. I don’t know if there is other family out there that have tested at other places.<\/p>\n Amanda was originally Amanda Skog, I assume prounced Skoog:<\/p>\n I haven’t done much with Swedish birth records.<\/p>\n Amanda was born in Sweden the same year William moved to the US from Ballindoon, Ireland.<\/p>\n Here is when Amanda left Sweden:<\/p>\n Sadly, Amanda traveled alone at age 15 from Sweden to the US:<\/p>\n I appears she lived in Glimarkra when she left:<\/p>\n It looks like Amanada had $10 and was planning to stay with a cousin, Betsy Johnson, in Quncy, Massachusetts:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I assume that Amanda was being courted by William in 1910 when they worked and lived in the same Hotel in Newton, Massachusetts:<\/p>\n Mandy is listed as 19 and William as 41.<\/p>\n When they marry later that year, Amanda is listed at 21 years old:<\/p>\n Here is 25 Langdon Street, if I have it right:<\/p>\n William was listed as living at 35 Alaska Street where William’s brother James had a home:<\/p>\n Here is some more chronology from my Ancestry Tree:<\/p>\n Daughter Elsie must be named after Amanda’s mother. Amanda must have visited her mother Elsa in 1912. Here\u00a0 is Amanda’s ship record:<\/p>\n Amanda is buried in Ballindoon Abbey across the street from her father-in-law’s house where William later lived and farmed the land.<\/p>\n I feel if I get more into William’s family, I may be bumping into privacy issues so I will stop here on this line.<\/p>\n These are just some of the children. Some of these and other not show above went to the US.<\/p>\n I was told by one of Violet’s descendants that this is her photo with her husband’s arm around her:<\/p>\n She is wearing a white blouse. She marries James Fairbanks in 1901 but he dies in 1912. Here is Violet in 1901:<\/p>\n If I have it right, Drumdoney where they lived is quite close to Ballindoon:<\/p>\n Here they are in 1911 living in the same place:<\/p>\n Off screen, it shows that James had 5 children, but 4 are living now. Here is the timeline I have for Violet:<\/p>\n The big question is what happens in 1911? Violet has four children and no father:<\/p>\n Violet was still farming the same farm in 1926 with the help of three out of four of her children:<\/p>\n The three younger siblings are all helping out on the farm. Where is Martha Frances? This could be her in Dublin:<\/p>\n Martha is listed as a nurse at Adelaide Hospital:<\/p>\n Now Martha is listed as belonging to the Church of Ireland while her mother and siblings are listed as Episcopal.<\/p>\n Martha marries Richard Edward Craig the next year in 1927. Here is Richard Craig and family in 1926:<\/p>\n Here is a map of Mullaghfarna across Lough Arrow from Ballindoon (near Derry on the map):<\/p>\n Here are three people who have had their DNA tested that I match on Violet’s Line:<\/p>\n They descend from the youngest daughter, Susan Fairbanks. Susan marries William John Craig. By the way, Ancestry must be working fast as they now have a link to the 1926 Irish Census which they didn’t have when I first starting working on these Blogs:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nSome Chronology for William<\/h2>\n
