I am wondering if anyone can help me find the full obituary of my grandfather from 2004? All I could find seemed like a very condensed version when I remember his being longer when published in the paper.

Published in the Providence Journal
I'm not sure where to look but all my google searches and websites I found came up empty. Thank you!

Hi!
Sorry, this might be a long one.
I've been doing my family tree for months now, and I've been very careful about making sure my information and sources are correct.
I've reliably gotten back in one line of my family to the 1580's, with no real conflicting information until I hit my 11th great grandfather, Edward Rowe.
I've been able to find his marriage record, along with the birth records of almost all of his children, and also my 11th great grandmothers full information including her birth, marriage (obviously), death etc.
Now, where things get confusing is that, I cannot find anything ..read more

Does anyone have access to Archion and look up a record for me? I haven't had the best luck using Archion so I'm reluctant to pay for access.
Looking for any information for a Hahn Family: Anna Elizbeth (b.1827), William (Wilhelm?) Joseph (b. 1833) or (Johannes) Henry (b. 1836) from Kirchenbuch 1826-1845
All Archives / Hessen / Landeskirchliches Archiv der Evangelischen Kirche von Kurhessen-Waldeck / Kirchenkreis Fritzlar / Niedenstein
Really hoping to find out any other siblings and/or their parents name.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

While I have some Info on my 3xGreat-Grandfather Christian Heinrich König (born July 27th 1845 in Feld/Reichshof), I have barely any Info on his Father (my 4xGreat-Grandfather) Johann Lorenz König (born ca.1814-1815). I already contacted the registry office of Reichshof, where my 3xGreat-Grandfather was born, however they (no longer/don't?) have his (Johann Lorenz König's) Birth Certificate. I am hoping someone will be able to find any Information on him and thank all of you in advance.

I'd be grateful for help. I've been looking at this and I just can't make sense of it. I'm having trouble with the underlined words

I just left the spelling the way the curé has done it:
"Le deuxieme juillet, mil sept cent soixante et onze, après la publication des bans, et tout les autres forms civiles et canoniques d???ment observées, ??? les certificats de maitres Gagnon, curé de Souppes..."
"2 July, 1771. After the publications of banns and all the other civil and canonical formalities ... observed ... certificates of masters Gagnon, curé of Souppes..."
Or is it "ci ..read more

Anyone have a copy of this book or know where it is available online? My library can't get it and I would really like the info about the Poe family on p. 129. That's the only published mention that I know of that refers to a (hypothetical) daughter, Thursa. Can anyone help with this please?

I’m a bit of a family tree noob lol but I need some guidance. I’ve been doing research on ancestry, myheritage etc and I was suggested a grandparent link between matilda derieux and claude derieux. I did some more research and i found pretty much nothing on matilda, but claude was married to suzanne bourbon-montpensier. their “daughter” (?) maud drew/carnsew was born in cornwall while the 2 parents died in france.
I’ve been looking at other family trees on myheritage, and hundreds/thousands of people have matilda derieux and claude derieux together, while some others put perenelle derieux ins ..read more

In 1896 my Great x3 grandmother Maria Gustafva Johansson (b. 1 Nov 1870) moved to the US, her brother Per (b. 24 March 1865) moved there a few years earlier, and her other brother Gottfrid (b. 10 Nov 1861) moved there for a few years and then back to Sweden. But she had a third brother, Carl Aron (b. 21 Dec 1867) who we can’t find. I thought he moved to Stockholm in 1896, but thanks to someone in this sub I learned he’d actually been in America since 1890. I put this mystery on a pause as I’m trying to solve another thing, but new info has made me want to solve this now
