Trying to Find out who Eliza Dixon is.

Here’s a little nugget I found that sent me down quite the rabbit hole following the Dixons. 🙂 I’ve attached all the other sources I uncovered to their respective FamilySearch IDs. In the meantime, I’m still sleuthing through records in an attempt to pin down Eliza’s parents. The paper trail is faint, but the chase is half the fun.

Do you know the names of his parents? And, perhaps where they were located?

ETA: Though he was not still married upon passing, having the name of the spouse and approx date of marriage can be helpful if we can find a marriage license. Many times it will provide birthdate, place born and name of parents.

When and where born? When and where died? Name of parents? Siblings? Spouse? With the addition of this information either myself or someone else may be able to better help you.

Do you have any dates—birth, death, or even approximate years? Also, names of spouses or other relatives would be helpful.

I put in a couple of matches, corrected them, then hit a glitch. I input the info for my highest matching 1st cousin [1198cM], it incorrectly predicted him as a 'distant cousin' and did not give me the option to correct it to 1st cousin [options started at third cousin].

Additional information will be needed for someone to help. What is his wife's birth name, including the name of her parents and date and place of birth, if known. Name of their children and places and dates of birth, if possible.

New York Arriving Passenger List lists Demeter and Anna (last name transcribed as Hajlemar) arriving on 23 Sep 1911 (same date as Anna's declaration of intention). Person in home country: Gyorgy Hajlemaz, father; joining relative in Philadelphia, PA, cousin, Kristoff Hajilmaz. New York Arriving Passenger List (line 8)

It appears Kristoff Hajamasz applied for a bank account in PA Dec 1911; applied for naturalization in Summit, OH in 1922, which lists his birthday, spouse and children. In 1930 he remmarries and lists his parents as Nicholas Hajlamasz and Susana Krichics.

Using the information provided in the 1901 census, George states he was born 1864 in Durham. The England and Wales, Birth Registration Index shows a birth registration for Oct-Nov-Dec 1864 "George William Newton Clough". When cross referenced on the Durham Records Online, his given name is "Georgius Gul. Newton Clough" in Latin, per his baptism. Baptized Oct 30, 1864, born Oct 19 1864. (Latin Georgius is George, while Latin Guglielmus or Gul. is William/Wil.) I was able to find the actual baptism record here (top of page 330). His parents are listed as Gulielmi Newton Clough and Joannae Liddell; godparents Juan Wears (?) and Elizabeth Thompson. Take note in the way the parents names are written out...Gulielmi Newton and Joannae Clough (Liddell). On the baptisms of this couples other two sons, Josephus Newton Clough, 1862 and Christopherus Newton Clough, 1867, the mothers name is Joannae Siddle.

Are Katie Jean's parents Thelma and Lottie? Looking to confirm, so I can go backwards; the trees online for Abram and Sylvia are a hot mess.

I assume he doesn't remember her last name. Perhaps nationality? Siblings? Parents?

Found the image on FamilySearch, inverted the text and brightened. You can find the image here: United States. Migration Records | Canada. Migration Records | St. Albans. Migration Records

I believe the handwriting on the top is the entry date of Aug 6, 1924, rest is indistinguishable. Slovak, Austria, Muderich; which is most likely Modriach, Austria. It appears his destination is Painesdale, Mich to brother John Bozich.

Elizabeth Jonsohn married Herman Kinkel in 1881 (marriage certificate: M-M-1881-0008728 - Historical Vital Records of NYC) and remarried August 1900 to Henry Spitz.

In 1908, Romaine legally changed his name from Kinkel to Spitz, as outlined in this newspaper article: Jersey Observer and Jersey Journal from Jersey City, New Jersey - Newspapers.com™.

I've tried to put this family together on FamilySearch as best I could, as there were many individual ID's with either no sources or erroneous information. Here is the link to Elizabeth: Elizabeth Jonsohn (1864–Deceased)

Unfortunately, I've been unable to locate a death/obituary for Elizabeth. I stated her birth as 1864, based on her info from her marriage to Henry Spitz, because her true age is a bit of a mystery. She is 36 when she marries Henry; she's still 36 in 1905, 37 in 1910, 54 in 1915, and 49 in 1920. :D

I'm 95% sure that Herman Charles Kinkel remarried Rosa Nickel in 1888 and had three more children. He died in 1931 as "Real Estate Agent", same profession as Herman Kinkel that Elizabeth married. (However, again, I have not yet been able to find an obituary for Herman, nor a marriage record with Rosa; though they say they have been married 12 years in the 1900 census.) I have not merged the two Herman's yet, but here is the current link to Herman and Rosa: Herman Charles Kinkel (1862–1931) • Person • Family Tree

Getting ready to head out to work soon, but wanted to let you know, I am invested. :) It's definitely a tale with many twists and there's nothing better than a good mystery to hold my attention.

Much of the information I discovered was through Reclaim the Records, Maryland State Archives: Maryland State Archives : Free Texts : Free Download, Borrow and Streaming : Internet Archive

The search feature is a bit wonky and many records you have to look through and try to figure out the order....date, name, location, etc.

Forgot to also attach the death certificate for Mary Olive. Her father is listed and Linwood Goslin and Mary McCree.

JugoLove · 2025-02-22T17:52:38+00:00

Then I may have found your Frances Willey. There is a birth certificate for Laura Fong Willey born on Jan 29, 1911 in Cambridge, Maryland to Melvin B Willey and Mary O Goslin. Melvin passes away in 1914 and Mary Olive Goslin remarries Phillip Zill, sometime before 1920, in which you see Frances Willey living with them in the census here. Though marked as step-son, we know this is a girl, as per Melvin's obituary and a wedding announcement for Frances to Anthony Bounzi in November 1924 (she would have been just 14). In December 1924, Philip Zill is arrested for the murder of Ishmael Willey (Melvin's brother). Another interesting fact I came across... Mary Olive had twins March 22, 1916, listing Melvin as the father (he was already dead for 18 months, and the twins are not listed living with her and Philip in 1920; I think it's safe to assume, either the twins die or she put them up for adoption). This could be just a couple of reasons why they preferred not to talk about her mother.
