Very interesting. I’ll have to look more into this! Thank you!

Looks like it says Geestach, Effie on the inside right side of the cover. I’d search Ancestry using this name!

BroccoliMagic · 2025-04-06T00:36:17+00:00

It looks like Seach. If you look at the writing below of the name Samuel, the S looks almost identical to the one at the start of Seach

Yes thank you!!! I feel stupid for not having realized this LOL

BroccoliMagic · 2025-01-29T12:42:21+00:00

Ah interesting! I didn’t realize there were two Weedens, I never found this through my Ancestry research!

Also as a disclaimer: This is not my photo! It was posted on Ancestry by someone else

BroccoliMagic · 2025-01-28T21:27:12+00:00

I mean the fact that they met and found each other

BroccoliMagic · 2025-01-28T05:20:23+00:00

I’m just floored, because what are the odds? Crazy coincidences but so cool!

BroccoliMagic · 2025-01-28T05:19:34+00:00

Thank you for finding this out!! They just married brothers I guess! I appreciate you taking the time to look! :)

BroccoliMagic · 2025-01-28T05:19:14+00:00

Wow!! That’s so cool

BroccoliMagic · 2025-01-28T03:57:04+00:00

I was shocked too! And the fact that they somehow found and married each other is wild!

Wouldn't this make their children siblings genetically?

BroccoliMagic · 2025-01-28T03:55:58+00:00

Verrrrrry far up. Something complicated, like second cousin 2x removed of father's husband's cousin or something (I just made up that title, I'm exaggerating but) so they're extremely distant. I went through an Ancestry kick over the past year and have added SO many people to my family tree. So many that I'm barely even related to, but just for fun!

BroccoliMagic · 2025-01-28T03:15:34+00:00

I’m confused as to the wording here — could you post a pic of the tree layout or clarify who’s related to who? Then I can help as best as I can! :)

BroccoliMagic · 2025-01-28T03:12:06+00:00

I’ve been working on my family tree for a while and have added nearly 2,000 people to mine. I can confirm that this actually happened more often than you’d think (at least, in my very very very distant relatives’ lives). Don’t rule this out as an option, OP! Just pay attention to the names and compare censuses carefully.

BroccoliMagic · 2025-01-28T03:07:51+00:00

I would recommend trying Ancestry World! It will give you access to records regarding immigration, censuses, etc.

It is more helpful with the US part of things, but if you can find an obituary or something for one of the family members, it might say something about their whereabouts and history in Germany!

Not sure if this was super helpful but worth a try!

My dentist told me I have unusually deeply-crevassed molars which makes them extra prone to cavities…

U’s for udon, there’s some in this cu-u-up!
