GSMC, St. John Research & other genealogy stuff

The move to the new research facility at Memorial Park Cemetery for the Genealogical Society of Marion County is progressing nicely. We packed up materials & furniture at Crown Hill last week for the move to Memorial Park. Today we did a considerable amount of unpacking at Memorial Park. The finishing touches should be made on the move sometime in August.

Our program schedule is set for July through November. July 13: "Cemeteries & Maps" [Lou Malcomb]; August 10: "Cemetery Research" [Jeannie Regan-Dinius]; September 14: "DNA" [Ken Nowlan]; October 12: "Scottish Records & Rresearch" [Lee Chloe]; November 17 GSMC Annual Conference at the IHS Eugene & Marilyn Glick History Center: "Photo Preservation" [Joan Hostetler of Heritage Photo Research]

Check the GSMC website: www.genealogyindy.org often for news & updates on programs & the grand opening of the new GSMC Research Center.

We will be an affiliate of Familysearch.org & the Family History Library, so we will be able to order microfilms from the FHL in Salt Lake!!

I've been slowly, but surely getting the new St. John/Sension/Santken information recorded from the NEHGS Register artcle from April. There was a mention of Nicholas Sension in the article. I was able to track down some additional info on him. A marriage date [12 June 1645], but not the maiden name of Nicholas' wife Isable turned up in the notes on Sension's probate, as did death dates for Nicholas [18 September 1689] & Isable [2 October 1689].

A Digest of the Early Connecticut Probate Records: Hartford District 1635-1700 [edited by Charles William Manwaring] provided the information. Sension's estate was inventoried 8 April 1690 by Timothy Phelps Sr. & James Ennoe. [p. 58]; 9 April 1690 - Samuel Willson appointed Administrator. [court record, p. 14]
