Genealogical Organization: Inspired To Keep Moving On
Wow, I've come across so many good ideas on how to organize my research in the last few days that I'm feeling inadequate. Not only is my research a bit disorganized, but the time management crunch of trying to take care of it all has me feeling a bit overwhelmed.
Becky over at Kinexxions blog has a great way to organize her family files on her PC in a way that even a non-genealogist can understand. I need to work on a system similar to this, as the files I've been scanning and trying to preserve have become a bit out of control.
I've also been following with interest the success of Tina at Gen Wish List and her project to systematically clean-up her database one letter of the alphabet at a time. Now this is a project that my RootsMagic database sorely needs.
Makes my attempts to organize my research seem futile, yet at the same time they have inspired me to keep moving on. Even though my 2011 Research template didn't quite get completed in the correct year, I hope to continue the methodology. This years project to add more "cousin bait" to the blog with daily snippets about who was born, died, or married on that day has brought mixed results and exposed a lack of documentation in my research.
Take a moment to check out Becky and Tina's ideas and let's get organized!

Exploratory Data Analysis : Barbara Isabel (Wehrly) LeMasters (1869-1930)
 |
| Barbara Isabel (Wehrly) LeMasters |
Barbara Isabel (Wehrly) LeMasters (1869-1930) was my paternal great-grandmother. What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical facts I have discovered about her.
1. Vital records
1.1. Birth certificate
Barbara was born March 14, 1869 in Madison Township, Jay County, Indiana1. The State of Indiana didn't require state-wide registrations of birth until after 1907. Prior to this date, they were only recorded in the counties where the event occurred. Jay County, Indiana only has birth records from 1882.
1.1.1. Birth notice in newspaper
If Barbara's birth was announced in a local newspaper, it has been lost to history. The Jay County Public Library has newspapers from the late 1880s, and there was a book by Rex Bertram "Jay Co. IN Newspaper Clippings, 1871-1887", but I haven't discovered anything earlier. The holdings of the Indiana State Library in Indianapolis do not indicate any newspapers of the period.
1.1.2. Bible record
I am not aware of the survival of a Wehrly family Bible. If one has survived to the present day, I am unaware. I will continue to reach out to extended family hoping that one does exist.
1.1.3. Baptismal record
I have reached out to local researchers in Jay County, hoping to find a record. One source states that she was a member of the United Brethren faith1. The LeMasters were members of the Salamonia Methodist Episcopal church.
1.1.4 Adoption record
There is no indication that Barbara was adopted.
1.2. Marriage license
Barbara was married on November 13, 1886 in Jay County, Indiana to Luman Walker LeMasters2. A copy of this record was the subject of a previous post. They were married by S.J. Mellinger.
1.2.1. Marriage notice in newspaper
I have not searched in Jay County newspapers to see if Luman and Barbara's nuptials were announced in the newspaper. Have added this to my "to-do list" on my next research trip into Jay County.
1.2.2. Anniversary notice
I have not searched in Jay County newspapers for mention of Luman and Barbara's anniversaries either. Their 25th would have been November 13, 1911. They did not survive to reach their 50th anniversary. Have added this to my "to-do list" on my next research trip into Jay County.
1.2.3. Divorce decree
There is no indication that a divorce ever occurred, and a recent search of court records during the time period did not turn up a divorce record.
1.3. Death certificate
Barbara died February 6, 1930 in Union City, Randolph County, Indiana.3 She died at the hospital there. For many years, I had assumed that she had died at her residence at Salamonia, and at least one published genealogy contains this fact. However, obituary research uncovered the true location. I need to obtain a copy of her official death certificate from the Randolph County Health Department.
1.3.1. Obituary in newspaper
Barbara's obituary appeared in the February 7, 1930 edition of the Portland, Indiana Commercial-Review. She died after complications from an operation for gall stones.3
1.3.2. Funeral home record
The Jay County Library has some of the records from the Williamson Funeral Home in Portland, Indiana. Will add this to my "to-do list" on my next research trip into Jay County.
1.3.3. Tombstone photograph

Supplemental records available to search for Barbara include city/county directories, court records and will and probate records. Searching these will be on my next "to-do list" research trip to Jay County.
