GOLD MINE!!!!
It is one of those nights. I started looking for some information on my work line and was striking out at every turn, not a good feeling to have. As I was searching I felt I should look at some information on the Perpetual Fund for Emigrants. The reason for this is on my Parsons line they are thought to have come to America through that. The document I found listed no Parsons but Thirza Long Syphus who emigrated when she was 25 years old. But the gold mine is this, from that I was able to find a lot of information on Mathew Syphus and Mary Long, my fourth Great Grandparents who are converts to the Church. (I had a picture of them but it is not working to well getting it moved over from the site or word document.) From the research I found I was able to see immigration records, census dates, birth dates and also church records. I find it so very amazing how whenever I start getting discouraged searching I am able to be prompted to a place or a line and find so much good information. I know that they are connecting with me as I connect with them. I hope to find out more as I go along. One last thing is that the ships that were used to come to America where the Java, Nevada and Idaho, I find it funny that it was these ships at different times since most of the family went to, lives in or likes these three things. If there is anything I am missing or have wrong I hope to find out so I can correct it and have the best information possible online or on my tree.
