Website Update 19 August 2018

The website was updated 19 August 2018. 

131 new narratives have been added, and 50 changed, since the last website update on 14 March 2018. There are now a total of 12,483 detailed narratives available on the website and 20,047 people (176 new) in our database.

Unfortunately, this has been a long time coming. In April, and May, we experienced significant problems as our website host (for over 10 years) was taken over, and the new host took a long time to transfer the files across. 

Furthermore, simultaneously, we had major problems with the Windows 10 update, and lost all the data. Fortunately, we have a lot of backups and managed to overcome the initial issues. Then in June, another Windows 10 update to rectify the problems with the previous update, completely destroyed the computer. We then had to purchase a new computer and again reinstate all the files. Fortunately, everything is finally back to normal. 

Sincere thanks to all concerned with this latest website update.

Website Update 28 January 2018

The website was updated Sunday 28 January 2018. 

19 new narratives have been added, and 44 changes made since the last update on 14 January 2018. There are now a total of 12,332 detailed narratives available on the website and 19,776 people (26 new) people in our database.

The focus of the update was two-fold: 
 
Alex Attewell advised us in November 2017 about a correction required for Anne Wawnnikiewicz BAILLIE née HASTINGS. Unfortunately, the January 14 update did not include the correction, so Alex wrote to us again. How fortunate! Subsequently, we established that Anne was married in 1918, and shortly afterwards widowed. She then married Albert Holford PASKE, son of Amos PASKE and Jane PRICE, in 1924 in New Zealand. Their only daughter Gertrude, known as "Trudy" is still alive, and living in New Zealand. She is a 1st cousin, of Michael R.A. PASKE, who has helped us considerably with the research of Chart 49 - the PASKEs of Monmoutshire. Alex also put us in contact with Malcolm Zander, who in turn put us in contact with Gertrude's daughter Ruth Condor née Mawdsley. Sincere thanks to Alex, Malcolm, Ruth, and Michael in helping us put the pieces of the jigsaw together. 

The other main family researched in this update, was the PASK(E)s of Risbridge, Suffolk. Terry Farrant, has been in contact since 2013, relating to Chart 6, and Chart 6a. Terry has provided a wealth of information on this Suffolk family.

Sincere thanks to all concerned with this latest website update.

Descendants of James Pask from New Zealand

James Pask (1835-1905) originated from Essex. He was the eldest son of of James Horton Pask and Julia Asplin. His father immigrated to Melbourne, Australia in 1855, and James joined him there. 

He married his first wife, Maria Mitchell in 1861 Melbourne. James and Maria then immigrated to Wellington, New Zealand, where Maria died in 1869.  They had five children.

James then married Mary Allen in 1870. They went on to have nine children - James had 14 children altogether.

Dianne Baird née Pask is the 2 x grand-daughter of James. We have been corresponding with Dianne since 2 January 2002. She has been a major resource in compiling this family. 

On 30 July, Dianne created a new Facebook Group - Keeping Up With The Pasks, which focuses on the descendants of James.

In a very short space of time, 49 members have joined - well done! 

With the help of Dianne, Caroline Churchill, and several of the Facebook Group, we have been able to increase the number of James' descendants. Initially, we had 205. This has now been increased to 228. 

These new descendants can be seen on the Pask website. See
Chart 10: Essex Main Progenitor - John PASK, (1771-1847) Thundersley, Essex #2493. 

Please note: Detailed narratives are available for deceased descendants - their name are underscored in the chart. Only names appear for 'living' people - their names are not underscored. 

If you have any corrections, or additional information, we would welcome your information. Please contact us at pask@one-name.org; or join the Facebook Group Keeping Up With The Pasks.

The focus of the update was initially to reinstate lost files due to our portable hard-drive becoming corrupt immediately after the previous website update. Our worst nightmare! Fortunately, we were able to reinstate the majority of the files from our backup systems. However, the last website update had to be manually replicated. 

Once that was completed, on 7 August, the focus was the New Zealand branch of family group 10 Essex Main Progenitor - John PASK, (1771-1847) Thundersley, Essex. See the separate blog on this research.

Scotlands People

Over the past two weeks, our research focus has been the National Records of Scotland (Scotlands People) https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk.

Although we researched Scotlands People in its early days, we recognised that there is now a lot more records. We found:

• Birth Registrations -     24 PASKs, 4 PASKEs
• Marriage Registrations -  45 PASKs, 1 PASKE, and 1 PAASKEs
• Death Registrations - 17 PASKs, 3 PASKEs, and 1 PAASKE
• Divorce - 5 PASKs
• Electoral Roll (available at FindmyPast) - 24 PASKs, 4 PASKEs

Whilst, we have not been able to identify all those listed, we have updated a lot of narratives relating to the PASK(E)s and their families, who lived in Scotland for part of their lives.  

We also identified another non-UK based family: 

Rudolph Harald PAASKE lived in Copenhagen, Denmark in the 1850s #20127

Rudolph Harald PAASKE lived in Copenhagen, Denmark. His son Viktor Emanuel PAASK lived with his wife Elizabeth, and their family in Leith, Midlothian, Scotland.

The Wonders of DNA

As detailed in the previous blog Family Chart 11 - Descendants of John Pask from Gautby Lincolnshire on 10 March, we were fortunate to recruit a male to do a Y-DNA test. 

The results were received this morning, and are worth their weight in gold! It established that John Pask (c1745-1793) is linked to the main PASK Lincolnshire progenitor. 

John is the progenitor of Chart 11: John PASK, (c1745-1793) married Elizabeth FOUNTAIN and they lived in Gautby, Lincolnshire #7697. His 521 descendants will now be assigned to Chart 01.  

Thoroughout March, and early April, we have been reviewing the 523 people assigned to Chart 11, trying to find a possible link. Fortunately the DNA result has now given us which family to focus on, as Chart 01 families originated in Washington in the late 1500s, and then Wellingore in the early 1700s, spreading throughout Lincolnshire in the mid 1700s. 

A superb result - sincere thanks to the Y-DNA Tester. Our findings will be included in the next website update.

If you are interested in doing a DNA test - there are now tests available for males and females. Do get in touch.
