Alexander Humes (parents born in Ireland)

Fscn8nSt — 2009-11-07 06:27:29Z

I am trying to research my grandmother's paternal ancestors. Her grandfather's name was Alexander Humes, b. ~1827 (he lived in the District of Columbia I believe) and he was married to either Mary M or Martha M. His parents were both born in Ireland. I would love to find out more information about this side of my family but seem to have hit a brick wall. Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,
This is about the Farrah Cunningham I saw in Member Collections under your name. As yet, I do not belong to Ancestry so hope it's alright to write you here. I did post a query a few days ago in hopes you would see it. Farrah Cunningham was my Grandfather's daughter. Please read my first post.
Thanks,

Farrah/Fairrah Cunningham Blood

domojo138 — 2009-10-20 20:02:12Z

Looking for information on Farrah Cunningham Blood. Born in Missouri, 1896. Farrah was the daughter of my grandfather William Cunningham. I last found her in Kansas City,Mo, 1920 census. She must have remarried after that as I can not find her on any census. She had a sister, Ruby, who married Arville Frank Redd. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks, Darleen

Looking for father of Eva Pierce who married Michael Grant Hume

dmoontaylor — 2009-10-18 17:43:21Z

My great great grandmother, Mary E. Sisson(maiden name) married James Reed & then married unknown Pierce (possibly John?) who I believe was born in Indiana, but they were not married very long. (After unknown Pierce, she married unknown Wright & then Henderson Utley.) Mary Sisson Reed & unknown Pierce had only 1 child that I am aware - Eva Pierce, born 1876, Indiana. (Eva Pierce married Michael Grant Hume.) In my grandmother's photos was a picture of Ray Vaughn Pierce of New York, son of Duane Pierce & Mary Morse, so feel like my unknown Pierce family is somehow linked to the Duane Pierce lineage. If you have ANY information, please email me at dmoon-taylor@sbcglobal.net Thanks.

Norman Lyman Humes Sr.

carrie_humes — 2009-07-04 08:06:00Z

I am looking for information on my husband's grandfather Norman Lyman Humes Sr. born 10-19-1910 in Cambridge Springs, Crawford, PA. His father was Forest Lyman Humes born 1-7-1884 in Crawford, PA. We know that he was married and had children with another woman in PA before he married my husband's grandmother Elizabeth Gunter. The children would be my husband's half-aunts & uncles. We do not know his first wife's name, but the children were George, Marilyn, James, & Eileen. We are told that he was kept from seeing them and they were possibly adopted by another man thus changing their last names. We believe they resided in the Wilkes-Barre, PA area, and they would have been born in the 1930's. Any info would be greatly appreciated as this is truly a missing piece of our family history.

Humes from Clay/Macon County TN

tfields214 — 2009-02-02 22:07:38Z

Looking for my great grandma Tressie Ann Humes b.1899 in Red Boiling Springs, TN (her obit says Clay County). Can find her name spelled 11 different ways in Kentucky birth records of her children but cannot find a single thing about her (birth, parents in census, etc).

According to my grandma, her parents were John Franklin Humes and Sarah Francis Murray. I've found info on Sarah Francis Murray but nothing on the Humes side at all. The name "Ivy" is also written on my paper...I'm thinking this was maybe her sister but not sure. Anyone have ANYTHING on this family at all?!

Thanks

Looking again at the census, I can see where the name get mixed up from time to time, but your family is not mine. My Henry and Charles Muder were born in 1892 and 1894 respectively--thus no listing in the 1880 census.

Oh ok. I'm Bennie Jr.'s oldest daughter. I think that Takima is related to Linda Humes who contacted me last year. Linda is Uncle Alfred's daughter. My father and his sister are in Terre Haute and just a few of my cousins are still in Peoria.My father told me I had a Uncle and some cousins in Florida but I've never met him.

Re: Looking for My Family

I have a uncle who was born in Mississippi by the name of Alfred Humes. He died in 97 as well. Did this uncle live in Peoria, Illinois at the time of his death.

Hi,

I have been researching the MUDER family and found that MUDER is a mistake for the name MEIDER. In the 1880 US Census for Allegheny, PA you find Philip MEIDER and the following: wife Minnie, sons Henry and Charles.

Hello V_Humes
I am Darren Humes my Grandfathers first cousin was an Alfred Humes who lived in Peoria, I was born there but I now live in Florida.

Re: Looking for My Family

DarrenHumes — 2009-06-09 22:50:22Z

Hello Takima,
I am Darren Humes, if the information that is in your post is correct Alfred Humes might be my Grand Fathers first cousin. My Grand Father was Isaac Humes and he was from Vicksburg Mississippi, he moved to Peoria Illinois and was married to Mary Washington. If we are related try looking up the names; Baldrige, Bledsoe, Duck (as odd as it sounds), and Scott…good luck and I hope that you get this post.

Home/Hume DNA Project

jamesrhume — 2008-07-02 07:18:33Z

Announced by Clan Home Association:

Great news - at last we have got the go-ahead for a specific Home/Hume DNA project. May I urge you to go to the project website run by FamilyTree DNA at:

http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.aspx?code=A88261&a...

Follow the website directions for enrolling; you will notice that there are various membership options according to the complexity you wish regarding the number of Y-chromosome counts. A reminder that it is a male-only project, I'm afraid. I recommend that you take the group option of the 25 male marker test, but of course you can go for the larger ones if you wish. I think this project is an exciting development for the Clan Home Association and hopefully it will also encourage more new members.

Ian Maitland Hume, Convenor
