Website Update 13 August 2017

The website was updated yesterday evening, Sunday 13 August 2017.

37 new narratives have been added, and 33 updated, since the last update on 14 July. There is now a total of 12,178 detailed narratives available on the website and 19,597 people (42 new) people in our database. 

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. 

These updates mainly relate to the following charts / family groups:


A full list of the recent changes to the narratives is available in the New or Changed Narratives section.

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.  

This information has been included in the website update yesterday, Friday 14 July 2017.

24 new narratives have been added, and 42 narratives updated, since the last website update on 1 July. There are now a total of 12,165 detailed narratives available on the website and 19,555 people (30 new) people in our database.

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.

Family Chart 11 - Descendants of John Pask from Gautby Lincolnshire


A couple of weeks ago, we were fortunate to recruit a male to do a Y-DNA test. The results will hopefully help considerably in establishing whether John Pask (c1745-1793) is linked to other PASKs from Lincolnshire. 

John is the progenitor of Chart 11: John PASK, (c1745-1793) married Elizabeth FOUNTAIN and they lived in Gautby, Lincolnshire #7697.

At the last website update, there were 523 people assigned to Chart 11. The majority of the narratives were last updated in 2006. So we decided to review this family, and include the latest information, now readily available on the internet. This includes, baptism, marriage, and burial transcripts and images from the parish registers. Also the new GRO online index, which now has the mother's maiden name for indexes between 1837 and 1911 - a significant 'new' resource. Also The 1939 Register, a superb resource that was like a ‘census’ and taken on 29 September 1939 just after the outbreak of war. It was then used to issue identify cards, and subsequently ration cards.

So far, we have found an additional 41 descendants, and have only touched the surface of Chart 11. We will continue to work on this family whilst we wait for the DNA results - this normally takes 4-6 weeks from receipt at the laboratory in Texas, USA. So watch this space.

In the meantime, if you have any additional information on Chart 11, don't hesitate to contact us at pask@one-name.org.

Descendants of Clarence Chester Pask

Back Row, L-R: Iola Maxine; either Loyal, or Charles "Raymond"; Arlene Grace; and Clarence Chester Charles  
Front Row, L-R: R.T; Duane Potter; Loyal or Charles "Raymond"
Recently independently, by sheer coincidence, we received information from two descendants of Clarence Chester Pask and his wife Daisy Ethel Pask née Sweet (known as Ethel).

In early January, we received an email from Darlene Yarger, about her grandfather Charles Raymond Pask the eldest son of Clarence. Darlene's son Rathe has a detailed tree in Ancestry, which has been of considerable help in putting the pieces together. As we were away on holiday, we did not have time to update the website with this new information. 

Last week, we were working on the website update, when surprisingly more new information came in on this same family.

On February 17, in the Pask Family History Facebook Group, Cindy Moore née Pask, the granddaughter of Clarence, posted this photograph of Clarence, and his family. Cindy's father was Kenneth Clarence Pask, the youngest son of Clarence.

Clarence Chester Pask was born on 16 June 1838 in Anwick, Lincolnshire, England. He was the son of Joseph George PASK. His parents immigrated to Ohio in 1844.

Many thanks to Darlene, and Cindy, for the wealth of information provided. The website has now been updated with Clarence's 51 descendants - however, there are many more needing additional research.

Clarence is Stuart's 4th cousin twice removed.




New Family Chart 83: Family of Michael PASZKIET born in Poland c1835

Steve Pete Pask (1917-2009)
father of Steve
 
Steve Paske, from Texas, contacted us on 24 January, and provided information on his great-grandfather Michael Paszkiet who was born in Poland c1835. He immigrated to Texas, USA, where he met his wife Josepha Filuta. They married in 1868 in New Waverly, Walker County, Texas. They had seven children. The family americanized their name to PASKE.  

Steve gave us a brief synopsis of Michael's family, and Steve's line of descent from Michael. We did some extensive research - fortunately comprehensive Texan records are readily available

Subsequently, we have created a new family chart 83, and it contains 126 people - descendants of Michael Paske, formerly Paszkiet.

Website Update 3 June 2016


During May, there has been a significant flurry of activity, which involved following up on a close match in Stuart's Autosomal (Family Finder) DNA Kit. This resulted in a wealth of new information, a trip to Lincolnshire Archives, and visits to the churches of Great Ponton, and Hough-on-the-Hill in Lincolnshire.

DNA Test Results

We were contacted by John Leadbeater - his father had a match with Stuart's DNA results, indicating he was a 2nd-3rd cousin. John believes it is through the Grococks, from Nottinghamshire, and Leicestershire. Stuart's 3rd great-grandmother was Ann Grocock. Very little was known about her - we had last updated her information on 31 December 2006. With today's wealth of internet resources, we were able to find her three children, and trace her back a further two generations to Samuel & Dorothy Grocock née Barns who married on 11 April 1731 in St. Giles' Church, West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire.

LCC Wills

Along the way, we discovered there were several GROCOCK wills in the Lincolnshire Archives, so we made a visit there to photograph the wills. We have created a photograph album in Google, if you would like to see the images of three wills of her mother Alice Grocock née Dant; her father Philip Grocock, and her brother Samuel Grocock.

Google Web Albums

Ann Grocock married William Moulds on 29 December 1800 in All Saints' Church, Hough-on-the-Hill, Lincolnshire. As we were in Lincolnshire, we visited this beautiful church, and Stuart took several photographs. These are included in the photograph album All Saints Church, Hough-on-the-Hill.

William and Ann lived in Great Ponton. In early April, Stuart visited Great Ponton church, and photographed the church - see the photograph album Church of The Holy Cross, Great Ponton Church, and Churchyard.
In Great Ponton's churchyard Stuart found a couple of graves which we were unable to identify.

Descendants of Joseph and Sarah Moulds Family Tree

Subsequently, in our endeavours to find who they were (we have still not found them), we searched Ancestry Public Family Trees and found the tree of Descendants of Joseph and Sarah Moulds compiled by Andrew Buchanan-Smith. Wow! What a wealth of information. Joseph & Sarah Moulds née Smith, were Stuart's 4th great-grandparents. Their grand-daughter, Sarah Moulds married Thomas Pask.

Based on the information kindly provided by Andrew, it has enabled us to build a significant tree of the descendants of William Moulds, (c1710-1774), Stuart's 5th great-grandfather. Wherever possible, we have tried to collaborate Andrew's research. Fortunately, the website Find my Past, now has a lot of the original images of Lincolnshire Parish Registers 1538-1911, and we have included the baptisms, marriages, and burials images.

Also, earlier this year, we took out membership for the British Newspaper Archive. We therefore have included the Death Notices, wherever possible, and in some instances inquest reports.   

Suffolk Marriages

Finally, in this website update, there are several Suffolk marriages included, as detailed in the previous blog, Suffolk Marriages More Updates.

Suffolk Marriages More Updates

Find My Past has added additional marriages in the Suffolk marriage-index.

Suffolk Marriage Index

As mentioned in the previous blog, the transcription consists of tens of thousands of entries, between 1536 and 1902, and covering over 433 out of approximately 500 parishes of the County of Suffolk.  

This latest updates included the parishes of Denston, Great Thurlow, Haverhill, Hundon, Kedington, Mildenhall, Theberton, Wickhambrook, and Withersfield.
 
We found an additional 17 marriages in these parishes:
10 PASKs (Total 59)
  5 PASKEs (Total 53)
  0 PARSKs (Total 3) 
  2 PASQUEs (Total 2)
Overall, we now have 117 Suffolk marriages. All these new records have been included in our database, and will be available in the next website update.

Suffolk Marriages Update

Following on from the blogs Happy Valentine's Day and Suffolk Baptisms and Marriages, we confirm that the Suffolk marriages have now all been included into the  
PA(R)S(K)(E)(QUE) database.

Suffolk Marriage Index

As mentioned in the previous blog, the transcription consists of tens of thousands of entries, between 1536 and 1902, and covering over 433 out of approximately 500 parishes of the County of Suffolk. We found 100 marriages, that were distributed amongst the family groups:
02-1 Suffolk    11
02-2 Suffolk    24
06 Suffolk         5
06a Suffolk       1
08 Suffolk         1
09 Suffolk         6
26 Suffolk         7
35 Suffolk         1
55 Suffolk         1
56 Suffolk         1
Not Known      42

Boyd's Marriage Index (Suffolk)

Of the 396 marriages found in the Boyd's Marriage Index, 230 were in Suffolk. These included 31, kindly provided by Sam Hammond. Also several of them were duplicates of the Suffolk Marriage Index. These were distributed amongst the family groups: 
02-Suffolk        2
02-1 Suffolk     3
02-2 Suffolk    22
06 Suffolk         8
06a Suffolk       1
08 Suffolk         1
26 Suffolk         5
29 Suffolk         1
35 Suffolk         1
55 Suffolk         1
56 Suffolk         1
Not Known    184
The 'Not Known' in the Suffolk Marriage Index, and the Boyd's Marriage Index have been included into the database, and now have an icon indicating that the record was in Suffolk, but not yet assigned to a family chart. Similarily, there are now 'Not Known' icons for other counties.

All these new records have been included in a website update today, making it the largest update we have done. 295 new narratives have been added. There are now a total of 11,573 detailed narratives available on the website and 18,633 (297 new) people in our database.

Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated on February 14, all over the world. The day is an occasion in which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, and sending greeting cards. 

Yesterday, we received a list of people who undoubtedly expressed their love for each other. Sam Hammond provided us with a list of 31 Suffolk marriages from Boyd's Marriage Index, ranging from 1653 to 1750. 

Today, we will be including these in our database, together with the 100 Suffolk marriages mentioned in the previous blog Suffolk Baptisms and Marriages.

Many thanks Sam for your efforts - it is very much appreciated.

Norfolk Parish Records

Yesterday, Find My Past included in their records Norfolk Baptism, Marriages, and Burials. 

Each record not only gives a transcript of the details found in the records, but also a great bonus of the original image of the parish register.

We found, and have compiled a spreadsheet of :

Baptisms      20
Marriages       7
Burials         22
Many of the records were for 1600-1700, and not yet included in our database. 

If you have PASK ancestors that lived in London, during this period, do contact us and we will provide more details.  

Sunday, January 31, 2016

Greater London Burial Index

Last Friday, Find My Past included in their records The Greater London Burial Index. 

The Greater London Burial Index is a collection of:

  • Middlesex Burials & Memorial Inscriptions
  • South London Burials Index 1545-1905
  • City of London Burials 1754-1855
  • Middlesex Burials 1538-1992
We found, and compiled a spreadsheet of :
PASKs    52
PASKEs    1
As these records mainly cover the late 1700s to early 1800s, so far we have only been able to identify, and include in our database, 19 of these records. 
11 from Family Group 02-2 Suffolk
  6 from
Family Group 6 Suffolk
These records will be included in the next website update.

If you have PASK ancestors that lived in London, during this period, do contact us and we will provide more details.

Suffolk Baptisms and Marriages

Find My Past have recently included in their records Suffolk Baptism Index 1538-1911, and Suffolk Marriage Index.

Suffolk Baptism Index 1538-1911
The Suffolk Baptism Index was created by the Suffolk Family History Society. The index includes 351 parishes and 747,204 records across the East Anglian county. We found:

PASKs    247
PASKEs  248
PARSKs     2
PASQUEs   3
Whilst we have a lot of the baptisms, kindly provided by the Suffolk researchers, we have compiled a spreadsheet. We are checking the entries, and adding any new ones to the database. 

During the past week, we have added information on baptisms. In particular PASK-related families in Lawshall, and Cockfield, Suffolk. 

Charlotte Pask married Daniel Lambert and they had eleven children. They in turn had several children, and subsequently this resulted in an additional 47 new narratives. 

Suffolk Marriage Index
The transcription consists of tens of thousands of entries, between 1536 and 1902, and covering over 433 out of approximately 500 parishes of the County of Suffolk. We found:
PASKs      49
PASKEs    48
PARSKs     3
PASQUEs   0
Most of these marriages are already included in our database. However, similarly, we have created a spreadsheet and are checking the entries, and adding any new ones to the database. 

The website is currently being updated with this information today. There are now a total of 11,278 detailed narratives available on the website and 18,336 (48 new) people in our database.

Website Update 13 January 2016

The website was updated today, Wednesday 13 January 2016. The main focus of the updates were:
Charles PASK (c1734-1805) lived in Dingestow, and Cwmcarvan, Monmouthshire. He married Jane Cowcum, and their descendants span eight generations.

Michael R.A. Paske, has been writing to us since 2012. He provided a photograph of his great-grandfather Amos Paske's, grocery shop in North Woolwich. He has also provided extensive information passed to him after the death of his cousin Edith Jean Philipott. This information will be included in a future website update.
 
Simultaneously, we heard for the first time, from Michael A. Paske, who now lives in Texas. He is the great-grandson of William Paske from Kansas. William, and his brother Amos, were both born in Abergavenny Monmouthshire. In the 1870s, Amos, and his brother William immigrated to Kansas. However, Amos and his wife Jane returned c1885 and moved to Woolwich. 

The two Michaels are now in touch with each other and exchanging family history. Fortunately based on information from Michael, and the assistance of www.findagrave.com, we have been able to include a lot of missing pieces of the remaining Kansas famly.

This information relates to the main Suffolk tree - descendants of John & Mirabel Pask née Sparrow, born c1680 who lived in Wickhambrook, Suffolk. In particular descendants of John Pask (1709-179) their first son. 

As a follow-on from the previous website update, additional information was kindly provided by Derek Mouland, from Australia, on his grandfather Charles Mouland, and his wife Annie Elizabeth Pask.

  This information relates to Chart 6 - Unknown Pask who lived in Kedington, Suffolk.

We have now included all the relevant information kindly provided by Terence Farrant's extensive summary of several generations of the descendants of Susan Paske, who married Joseph Coote in 1856 in Kedington, Suffolk.   

  Thomas PASK was born in 1820 in Upminster, Essex. He was the son of Thomas PASK. Thomas married Hannah PARISH on 25 December 1840 in The Parish Church, Upminster, Essex. Thomas was a Cordwainer.

Just before Christmas we heard from the granddaughter of Malcolm 'Patrick' Pask, who died at the age of 19 in a road accident. Malcolm was the grandson of Bertram Lionel Pask, who died in WWI. Bertram never knew his son, Gordon Mons Aisne Pask. Similiarily, Gordon died in WWII, Malcolm was aged 7 at the time. Malcolm never knew his daughter Joy, as he died before she was born. 


41 new narratives have been added since the last update on 1 November 2015. There is now a total of 11,231 detailed narratives available on the website and 18,288 (73 new) people in our database. 

A full list of the recent changes to the narratives is available in the New or Changed Narratives section.
