Rasor/Razor/Soundex Variations Surname Y-DNA Project

RasorResearcher — 2009-04-12 05:37:22Z

Are you interested in participating in an exciting new Y-DNA Project that could help identify and/or verify your ancestral line, as well as, help determine the connections between the various Rasor/Razor, etc. ancestral lines in this broad surname group?

If you are a male descendant whose surname is Rasor/Razor, Raisor, Rasure, Reeser, Reese, Racer or one of the many other spelling and/or Soundex variations, you can join this Y-DNA Project by taking a simple "cheek-swab" DNA test!

The Y-chromosome is only passed from male to male (e.g. father to son, etc.), so if you are a female descendant who is interested in this Y-DNA Project, you will need to ask a male relative in this surname group (e.g., your father, brother, paternal male cousin, etc.) to take the Y-DNA test as a representative of your Rasor/Razor, etc. line.

If you want to take part in this Project or want more information, please feel free to contact one of us directly at:

Alfred Rasor - Ohio to Idaho

Idfamscanner — 2009-04-05 20:12:27Z

While helping a friend with a project of putting together information on pre-1911 burials in Kohlerlawn Cemetery, Nampa, Canyon Co., Idaho, we have found a burial for an Albert Rasor born 26 February, 1847 and died 22 October, 1890, here in Idaho. In trying to do a little research to add some notes about him, my quick research shows that he is possibly the son of Abraham and Rachel Rasor (?), and was born in Ohio. The 1870 shows he is married to a Mary ?, and living next to his parents. In the 1880 census they are shown in Nebraska with two children. I have attached the headstone photo. I am not related but trying to possibly help other researchers and to confirm that I have the right Alfred Rasor.
Thanks

HI...Have following info on Emily Catherine Liter, b 29 Jul 1821 Indiana (s: census and headstone) m Alexander Peden 12 Jan 1839 (s: Marriage Bk D, Clark Co., IN.) bore Ona J Peden b 1839, then m John Boggs 25 Jun 1843 (s: Marriage Bk D, Clark Co., IN) bore Bell Anne Boggs b 8 Feb 1845. Both Emily & Belle Anne are buried at Buck Grove Baptist Cem. between Garrett & Brandenburg, KY. Headstone of Emily states "Wife of Willis H.

Edward Rasor obit

2006-01-20 20:04:36Z

I have some sad news to share. My uncle Edward Rasor pastaway last week. This is the obit in the Salem Mo news paper.

Edward J. Rasor
Funeral service for Edward J. Rasor was January 14, 2006 at James & Gahr Chapel, Salem, with Pastor Leroy Nixon officiating.
Interment was in Patterson Cemetery.
Pallbearers were Jim Mann, James Mann, Matthew Dedert, Michael Dedert, Jeff Armstrong and George Hallum.
Mr. Rasor was born February 22, 1936 in St. Louis to Marion Rasor and Maggie (Crabtree) Rasor. He married Janice Clark Rasor. They were the parents of one daughter. Mr. Rasor died January 12, 2006 in Rolla at the age of 69 years, ten months and 18 days.
Survivors include his daughter, Maggie Rasor, Salem; three sisters, Betty Rasor, Salem; Dorothy Long, Salem; and Peggy Mann and husband, Jim, St. Louis; several nieces and nephews; and other family members and many friends.
Preceding him in death were his parents; his wife; and brother, George Rasor.

He'd been sick for sometime, guess he just couldnt take it any more. I loved my uncle very much.
Just needed to share.
Thanks for listening.

Re: the Raisor family histery misstackes

2006-01-19 14:54:34Z

Strange how the names repeat themselves! Just amazes me.
I think we are working different lines, but the name combinations make me wonder. You refer to Margaret, do you have a last name for her?

Re: the Raisor family histery misstackes

2006-01-18 19:59:46Z

Patty,
Not so much a snag but just the way the name was spelled depending on which branch you are related too!
I read it use to be "Rasorspike" dropping the "spike" on the way from Germany. Then the is the COURSEY or DeCoursey that supposidly are original rasor's.
If you stayed north then the name was RASOR if you went south it changed to Raisor, Razor, Reasor. etc.
Happy Hunting.

Hello Jackie

Glad to see you thought well to publish your find. I don't have my notes with me today but. The Maiden name for Marcelle was Rasor, her father Charles Maxwell Rasor was from around Brookville Ohio area. Her brother was Charles Edgar Rasor. Charles M. Rasor collected Rasor information around the 1930's and now I collect Rasor things and send most to Brookville Ohio Historical Soc. They have a web page. If the items need a new home E-mail me and we can see they get a good home and cover your cost too.

If you would Email me where you got them and if you need anything else I would like to help.

Thanks

Hi,

I got the documents at a junk store that sells estate stuff in Tacoma Washington. I was purchasing a dozen old cabinet cards with photos inside and was talking to the sales lady about how depressing photos with no names were (especially prestine ones) and asked if I could trade out the pictures in the cards for (lesser quality ones) in the box, that had names (but no mat) and she got all mushy and said if I was going to do that I should go (to a different box I had not seen) and she would give me these religious documents (and one large picture that was with them. We have no idea if the documents and the picture goes together).

Contact me off list for more details.

Re: the Raisor family histery misstackes

pattyburton203 — 2006-08-05 06:48:14Z

The ones I have traced origenated in Irland and was Schoonmacher. Peater Reesor's birth father died and his mother remared and out of respect he took his stepfathers name. He and one of his brothers moved from Irland to Canada there is where I lost his brother Peter moved to the states. I beleve the Jacob that most family trees refer to is his son but is not James Harvy Raisors father I jave Abreham wich is Jacob's brother. I do think that Peter met Margeret on bord the ship though.
