For this edition of Surname Saturday, I'm going to list generation eleven of my family tree in hopes of making a connection. Many times people find my blog through Google searches, and I'm hoping to reach more cousins. If you're related to any of these families, I'd love to hear from you.

Shaky Leaves : Harvey A. Huey (1866-1947)
Harvey A. Huey (1866-1947) was my paternal 2nd-great granduncle, the husband of Mary A. Metzner (1862-1925). Ancestry.com was showing a hint for him that lead to the discovery of what happened to him after Mary's death, including a second family.
Prior to this hint, I only had Harvey and Mary's death dates and their place of burial : Mt. Zion Cemetery in Jay County, Indiana. In the 1920 census, they were living in Davison Township, Genesee County, Michigan, where Harvey was a Free Will Baptist Preacher.
The hint was for the 1930 census of Waterford Township, Oakland County, Michigan, which had Harvey's surname enumerated as Hewey. He was head of household, aged 63, born in Indiana, renting his home and his occupation was that of a Methodist minister. Also in the household was a wife, Leona, aged 39, no occupation, born in Indiana and a son, Robert L., aged 12, born in Michigan.
The first thing that stood out, other than the change in denomination, was the inclusion of a son, Robert, who would have been born circa 1918 in Michigan. Harvey and Mary had no children, and Robert would have been born when Mary was alive. Did I even have the right family? I had to do some further digging to verify that this was indeed the correct individual.
By the 1940 census, Harvey and Leona were in Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County, Michigan, where Harvey was 73 years old working as a custodian for the University of Michigan. Leona was aged 49 with no occupation.
I searched both Ancestry.com and FamilySearch for a marriage record of Harvey Huey to a Leona sometime after 1925 and was unable to find a record.
What about Mary (Metzner) Huey, my maternal 2nd-great grandaunt, whose death year I only had as 1925 and burial in Mt. Zion cemetery? I did a search at SeekingMichigan.org and found her death date as January 2, 1925 in Vernon, Shiawassee County, Michigan. The certificate lists her name as Mary Ann Huey, born March 4, 1863 in Indiana, the son of John Metzner and Katharine Young. Her husband is listed as the Rev. H.A. Huey of Vernon, Michigan. The cause of death was cerebral hemorrhage. Burial was in Portland, Indiana.
The FindAGrave page for Harvey had a little more detail, including the date of death for Harvey as November 28, 1947 in Washtenaw County, Michigan. The site lists a wife Leona, and that Harvey's parents were Christopher Huey (1824-1894) and Clarissa Grattis Huey (1829-1895).
With the date and place in Michigan for Harvey's death, I went to SeekingMichigan to see what I could find on his death in 1947. No full copy of the death certificate yet, but this individual was born in 1866 with a given name of Harvey A Huey, which lines up with what I know about my 2nd-great granduncle.
So next I decided to turn back to the 1930 census record and trace the son, Robert, born circa 1918 in Michigan and find out where he came from.
In the 1920 census in Highland Park, Wayne County, Indiana, Robert was a 1 year and 8 month old son in the household of Max L. Huey, aged 26, born in Indiana, an office clerk in an auto shop. Also in the household was wife, Leona R. Huey, aged 27, born in Indiana, no occupation, and a brother-in-law, Leonard G. Maul, age 20, born in Michigan, a time clerk in an auto shop. I believe we have here is Leona marrying two different men with the same surname, who are likely related because all were from Indiana.
Max Lyndon Huey, son of Charles and Frances (Hozlett) Huey, married December 15, 1915 in Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan to Leona Rose Maul, daughter of George and Mary (Alwerten) Maul. Max would have been born circa 1893 in Indiana and Leona circa 1891 in Indiana at the time of their marriage. The differences in age matches the household found in the 1920 census. Leona's surname was mis-indexed in the FamilySearch record, but when viewing it you can see that it was Maul.
Prior to this hint, I only had Harvey and Mary's death dates and their place of burial : Mt. Zion Cemetery in Jay County, Indiana. In the 1920 census, they were living in Davison Township, Genesee County, Michigan, where Harvey was a Free Will Baptist Preacher.
The hint was for the 1930 census of Waterford Township, Oakland County, Michigan, which had Harvey's surname enumerated as Hewey. He was head of household, aged 63, born in Indiana, renting his home and his occupation was that of a Methodist minister. Also in the household was a wife, Leona, aged 39, no occupation, born in Indiana and a son, Robert L., aged 12, born in Michigan.

The FindAGrave memorial page for Mary is pretty limited, only giving the year of birth and death and linking her to her husband, Harvey. I will contact the admin of the page and give them the updated death data.
The FindAGrave page for Harvey had a little more detail, including the date of death for Harvey as November 28, 1947 in Washtenaw County, Michigan. The site lists a wife Leona, and that Harvey's parents were Christopher Huey (1824-1894) and Clarissa Grattis Huey (1829-1895).

FamilySearch had additional information on the same death that tied Harvey who died in 1947 back to Portland, Jay County, Indiana:

Looking for further hints regarding Robert, I found a record of his marriage which gave me his middle name as Lee.

|---|---|
| Gender: | Male |
| Race: | White |
| Birth Year: | abt 1918 |
| Birth Place: | Michigan |
| Marriage Date: | 28 Sep 1940 |
| Marriage Place: | Pontiac, Oakland, Michigan, USA |
| License County: | Wayne |
| Age: | 22 |
| Residence Place: | Detroit, Michigan |
| Father: | Max |
| Mother: | Leona Maul |
| Spouse: | Dorothy Stewart |
| Spouse Gender: | Female |
| Spouse Race: | White |
| Spouse Age: | 23 |
| Spouse Birth Place: | Michigan |
| Spouse Residence Place: | Pontiac, Michigan |
| Spouse Father: | Lewis |
| Spouse Mother: | Anna Peterson |
| County File Number: | 552603 |
| State File Number: | 233934 |
| Film: | 302 |
| Film Title: | 82 Wayne 233530-236769 |
| Film Description: | Wayne (Dates TBD) |
I also found a record for Robert in the 1940 census, before his marriage, in Detroit, Wayne County, Indiana, in the household of Max Huey. Robert was listed as 21, single, born in Michigan. The head of the household, Max, aged 48, born in Indiana and his wife, Wilma, aged 38, born in Michigan. Both Max and his wife Wilma were social workers with the city welfare department and Robert was an adjuster with Commercial Credit company.
The World War II Draft Registration for Max shows his birthplace as Butler, Indiana (DeKalb County) on August 24, 1893. His full name was Max Lyndon Huey, and he worked for the city of Detroit in the Department of Public Welfare, which matches the 1940 census record.
I also located a FindAGrave for Max L. Huey (1893-1989) whom I believe is this same Max - who was married to Wilma as a second wife.
Ancestry.com had the following death record in their Michigan Death collection which matches the other date details for Max Lyndon Huey.
Likely, Max and Leona were divorced before Harvey A. Huey married her, sometime between 1925 (wife's death) and 1930 (census) when I first find them together.
What happened to Leona after Harvey's death in 1947? It would appear that she married for a third time to Marvin Macomber on September 28, 1949 in Dearborn, Wayne County, Michigan.
Additionally, I found the FindAGrave memorial for Leona R. Maul Macomber (1891-1969) in Howell, Livingston County, Michigan.
If you have any additional information on these families, I would love to hear from you.

DNA: Mom's Cousin Jack - Fourth Cousin
Mom's 23andMe cousin Jack matches her on two chromosomes, and matches me as well. He is predicted to be my 3rd to 6th cousin.
Jack was quick to write back that he took a look at the family tree, and only saw one name, William Henry Summers that matched. William Henry Summers was the husband of Margaret P. Pierce. We traded more information, and I was able to view his family tree at Ancestry and confirm that we are fourth cousins, once removed, through the most recent common ancestors of Francis Pierce and Rebecca Page.
Francis Pierce

This is the second DNA connection through the MRCA Francis Pierce and Rebecca Page I've discovered through 23andme. Earlier, I had made a connection with cousin Raj through Margaret Pierce and William H.H. Summers. Raj and Jack would be 3rd cousins once removed.

Finds like this are interesting, mom was finishing up her Master's with a baby (me!) at home, living in the house on Monroe Street. We lived there for just a few more years. Someday I'll write a post about that house.

DNA: My New 23andMe Experience
Received the email yesterday that my 'new' 23andMe experience was ready, so I took the plunge and logged into the site. After the preliminaries of making sure how my name would be displayed and opting into sharing of reports, etc. I was ready to start exploring.
I must say that I bought my first 23andMe kit the day they stopped giving health reports - a strange coincidence, so I had never had them in the first place. I was disappointed that they wouldn't be providing those, but my main concern was genealogy and solving family mysteries, so that disappointment was quickly forgotten.
Now that I can see some of the health reports that they are providing, I'm not sure that I was really missing anything. I realize that the types of reports they can provide is likely dictated by the FDA, but I can't see the increased value that they are providing. If the health reports are the justification for raising their kit price to $199, all I can say is "wow".
The reports tell me information that I could find out by looking in the mirror, such as hair and eye color, as well as caffeine usage and lactose intolerance. Not something I find too impressive. The other reports are negative results for rare diseases, which fortunately I do not have, but if they are so rare, then why would I be worried about them? Maybe I'm missing the point of the reports, but I'd like to know more about indicators for cancer or epilepsy or alchoholism.
The biggest changes I see at this point have to do with the DNA Relatives and how that experience will be enhanced or hindered by the new site. It would appear that it would be hindered.
While not an advanced user by any stretch, I have been able to find and make connections through DNA relatives, and have been tracking my results with a spreadsheet, comparing segments and finding triangulations, etc. When it was announced that the 'old' website would be going away, I quickly went in and re-invited all the connections that hadn't responded to me in hopes that I would keep them as a connection.
Kitty Cooper's blog has a good run-down of the changes at the new site here.
I don't like the fact that you can no longer get the table view of matching segments of DNA. That was what I was using to populate my spreadsheet and then comparing matches to each other.
I don't understand why you can no longer sort your DNA relative matches by the most recent, either. That was one way to find out which new matches you might have matched. Granted, many of them were small matches, but every little bit counts when you're working with DNA.
I'm really confused by the fact that I still have anonymous matches showing - I thought one of the changes would be that everyone would be forced into sharing or they would not show in your DNA relatives. Perhaps these folks haven't transitioned yet to the new system. Will have to wait and see.
I've checked out the forums at 23andMe and to say that many people are unhappy would be an understatement. Kitty's blog posts states that they have heard from the community and many of these complaints will be addressed. We shall see.
Honestly, at this point I'm going to move my focus on to FamilyTreeDNA for any future testing. I have tested both of my parents, my wife, my mother-in-law and brother-in-law at 23andMe, but will use the other sites in the future. There is no reason to recommend someone pay $199 for a test kit if you are wanting to use DNA for genealogical research. The health reports do not justify the increased cost. I'm not ready to buy into the "big pharma" conspiracy theories on the forums, as I already understood that was part of the exchange, but I question why the company appears to be trying to turn away the genealogy community.
Just my two cents worth.

Shaky Leaves : Marriage of Lydia Taylor & Noah Worcester, 1757, Hollis, New Hampshire
Lydia Taylor (1733-1772) and Noah Worcester (1735-1817) were my paternal 6th-great grandparents. Ancestry.com was showing the following hint of their marriage record in my LeMaster and Allied Families Member Tree.
Lydia was the daughter of Abraham Taylor, and Noah was the son of Francis Worcester and Abigail Carleton. Noah served during the Revolutionary War and was a member of the New Hampshire Constitutional Convention.
They were the parents of seven children : Noah, Jesse, Lydia, Sarah, Leonard, Thomas and Samuel. My line comes through Sarah.

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.
