Awaiting DNA results from oldest living relative
Several weeks ago I was able to pay a visit to my maternal great-aunt Ruby, and she agreed to help me with solving my greatest genealogical mystery, the origins of her maternal grandfather, by providing a DNA sample to be sent to FamilyTreeDNA. I've received notification from the company that the results are being processed, and can't wait to hear back from the lab.
The irony that the results are expected back during the week of my birthday are not lost on me. It would be quite a birthday gift if somehow her results will lead to a DNA match that could break down the brickwall of who my great-great-grandmother June's father actually was.
I've written about the family mystery before, and am hopeful that I will have many more chapters to write before it is over. Ruby is my oldest living relative on this side of the family, and would be the closest DNA match that I could sample. She is the only surviving child of June, and Pansy has no surviving children. There are however, many cousins that I could test on both sides.
I've also recently received some commitments from other cousins on this same side that are willing to be tested, but don't have the financial means at this time to test. I'm saving my pennies now to create my own DNA fund to build the project.
If I can get enough relatives on this side of the family to test, including some who descend from Ida's daughter Pansy, I'm hoping that through triangulation I can isolate the DNA segments that come from June's father, as well as determine if June and Pansy had the same father.

Exploratory Data Analysis : Carey W. Lambertson (1847-1918)
Carey W. Lambertson (1847-1918) was my maternal 3rd-great grandfather. What follows is an exploratory analysis of the biographical data I have discovered about him.
1. Vital Records
Carey was born April 29, 1847 in Butler County, Ohio1,2,3,4,5,6,7.
1.1. Birth Certificate
The State of Ohio did not require birth registration at this time.
1.1.1. Birth Notice in Newspaper
If Carey's birth was mentioned in a local newspaper, it has been lost to time.
1.1.2. Bible Record
I am not aware of any surviving family Bible that would record the birth of Carey. Will continue to reach out to extended family in hopes that one can be located.
1.1.3. Baptismal Record
I am not aware of any baptismal record for Carey, nor the church affiliation of the family at this time. Will add this to my list of "to-do" items for my next research trip.
1.1.4. Adoption Record
There is no indication that Carey was adopted.
1.2. Marriage License
Carey married Clara E. Cook on October 1, 1869, according to my database. I have the location as Butler County, Ohio, but a search of records in Butler and Montgomery Cos., Ohio have not yet located a record of where his marriage took place. Will need to continue to search for verification of where they were married.
1.2.1 Marriage Notice in Newspaper
Once I've verified the location of the marriage, will need to search contemporary newspaper accounts to see if I can locate mention of their nuptials.
1.2.2. Anniversary Notice
Carey and Clara's 25th wedding anniversary would have been on October 1, 1894. Will need to search contemporary newspaper accounts to see if there was any mention of anniversary celebrations.

There is no indication that Clara and Carey were ever divorced.
1.3. Death Certificate
Carey died March 18, 1918 in Elwood, Madison County, Indiana8 of bronchial pnuemonia. I do not yet have a copy of his death certificate. Will need to add this to my list of "to-do" items for my next research trip.

Carey's obituary appeared in the March 18, 1918 edition of the Elwood Call-Leader8. The obituary listed him as the son of John and Sarah Wilson Lambertson, and stated that he was a first cousin of President Wilson. No evidence of a connection between the President and our Wilson family has been found. The obituary mentioned that in the prior September, Carey had been in an automobile accident, which had lead to declining health. His obituary was the subject of a previous post.
1.3.2. Funeral Home Records
Will need to search the local historical society to see if they have funeral home records that might shed some light on Carey's funeral. Will add this to my list of "to-do" items for my next research trip.
1.3.3. Tombstone Photograph
Carey's tombstone in the Elwood City Cemetery has been photographed9. A link to his memorial page at FindAGrave is located here.

Will need to search the local historical society to see if they have funeral home records that might shed some light on Carey's funeral. Will add this to my list of "to-do" items for my next research trip.

Carey's tombstone in the Elwood City Cemetery has been photographed9. A link to his memorial page at FindAGrave is located here.
