Celebration Sunday-Genealogy Happy Dance!- Finding Jainey

 

You know the dance. You know you've done it. The one every researcher does after finding something new. The one where you want to jump up and down and shout to everyone that you found the document, contacted a cousin with the family Bible, made a DNA connection, or found a new branch to your tree. The one that is met with glazed stares and eye rolls.

                                                          Celebration Sunday is a place to share your discoveries. 

This weekly series enables everyone to tell about their Genealogy Happy Dance moment.

My Happy Dance Moment for the week:

This photo was in a scrapbook owned by my maternal grandmother's sister. She let me take photos of the images. Under this photo, she had written, Jainey, Etta, Amos, Thomas, and Charles.  I knew Etta, my maternal great-grandmother, and the boys. The names are those of her brother George's sons. But I had no idea who Jainey was.  When I asked my great aunt, she told me Jainey was another of the children that her grandfather, William A. McManus, took into his home.  The only reference I could find was a letter that William wrote to his daughter, Etta, in 1914. In it, he mentioned Jainey. Other than that, that is all I knew about her.

Until this week, when documents through Full Text Search led me to her identity and how she fit into the family. Janiey was Jane (McRady) McManus. A double cousin. Her parents died when she was young, so it is likely that the story of her coming to live with William at some point is most likely true. 

One mystery solved, but there is another in this photo. Those boys? Are they the three boys of George McManus? Amos died in 1902, and Charles was born in 1903. Perhaps Charles's birth date is off, but all his records state he was born in 1903. As for Amos? His death in 1902 is recorded in a newspaper announcement. How could they be in a photo together? Hoping to solve this one day!

What was your happy dance moment?

Share your Happy Dance Moment for the week, and let's celebrate together!
