Take two 5xg-grandparents week 47 - 1 - 7 Nov 2013

[kiterunner]

This is our weekly challenge to see how much information you can find out about each of your 5xg-grandparents. Because most people will have quite a few gaps at this level of their tree, and so that it doesn't take years to get to the end, we are doing two ancestors per week. But they will be a couple, so it should be easy enough this way. What I will do is ask for the parents of a particular 4x-g-g, and if you have posted a TO4G thread for that person, you should be able to find him / her using the tag search - this week you would search for the tag TO4G47. For this challenge, we ask that you only post a thread if you know the first name of your ancestor. You are allowed to post up to four threads each per week, e.g. your own ancestors and your OH's as well.


This week, we are focussing on the parents of your mother's mother's father's mother's mother's father. So they will be MMFMMFF and MMFMMFM.

If you want to take part, just start a new thread on this board for each ancestor and put his / her name in the Title. So you would have one thread for your MMFMMFF and another for your MMFMMFM, then two more for your OH's ancestors if you are doing them too.

Copy the following form and fill in the answers that you already have, then over the course of the next week you try to fill in the blanks and everyone else helps you. If you're lucky enough to have all the information already, then you can still post it up if you want, so that search engines can pick it up.

Can you fill in all of the following information about that person:

Name - "official" name and what they were known as
Date and place of birth
Names of parents
Date and place of baptism - if applicable
Details of each of his or her marriages - if any
Occupation(s) - if any
Addresses where they lived (including county if in UK) - and please list which censuses you have or haven't found him/her on (if s/he lived in census times!).
Date, place and cause of death
Date and place of burial.
Details of will / administration of their estate - if applicable
Memorial inscription - if any


Adoptive or step-5x-great-grandparents welcome!

Also, if you have posted a thread in TO4G for this couple's son, could you please include a link to that thread. If you search for the tag TO4G47, you should find it. Please let me know of any missing / wrong tags and I will correct them. If you posted your thread in the catchup weeks, there will probably not be a tag but you can ask me to add it.

Oops think that should be one thread for your MMFMMFF & another for your MMFMMFM.

Well spotted, Sue!

Doesn't make it any easier for me to post this week though!

Kate, I was in such a hurry to post these before tomorrow that I have put them in the wrong place. Could you move them for me, please?

[ElizabethHerts]

Thanks, Kate. If I can post tomorrow I'll try not to leave it to the last moment.
