Thank you for helping with the USBH 1880 census project in Idaho. The state of Idaho has now been marked as complete! Emma

Thank you for participating in the December 2023 USBH Connecting Challenge and helping us create 6214 profiles. We created a total of 46,036 profiles for the year. We met our 2023 goal of 250k profiles and finished out the year with 168,195!

You can see your personal 2023 total and your all time 2021-2023 total on the 2023 tab here: our tracking spreadsheet.

Check out our new 1880 Census Project. We’d love everyone’s help in 2024.

Greetings Sharon -

Data Doctor reports an error with respect to the wife of Adam Snoke [Snoke-30] – The error concerns an unknown person who is alleged to be his first wife Sophia [Unknown-14477]. When I compared Adam’s Snook’s information on Family Search id KCLD-5JV I found he had one wife, and her name encompassed the names of Sophia [Unknown-14477] and Maria Butterbaugh [Butterbaugh-167], which I believe to be incorrect. I then checked the sources on Family Search, where I noticed the names of Sophia and Maria were used as mothers of Snook children, coincidentally they both gave birth to children within the same time period which reinforced my conclusion that Family Search information was incorrect. What I can determine with sources is the fact that Adam Schnock married Maria Butterachin 1 April 1789 in Rocky Hill, Frederick, Maryland. Maria had the following children. 1. Johannes Schnock the son of Maria and Adam baptised 24 May 1790, Rocky Hill, Frederick, Maryland 2. Heinrich Snock was born 26 December 1799 in ?? Maryland 3. Susanna Schnogh was baptised 2 May 1802 in Ladiesburg, Frederick, Maryland Sophia had the following children – 1. George Michal Schnook the son of Sophia was baptised 4 August 1799 in Creagestown, Frederick, Maryland. (note this profile clashes with Johannes above – Frederick Hill and Creagestown are 6 miles apart, one profile is a baptism the other a birth) 2. Susanna Schnock was baptised 23 May 1801 in Creagestown (note this profile clashes with Susanna above – Creagestown and Ladiesburg are less than 10 miles apart.) 3. Christina Magthlaena Snog was baptised 27 July 1817 in Creagestown. If she was Maria’s child Maria would have been 55 years old in 1817. In summary Sophia and Maria were not the same person. Adams Father Simon had two sons one called Adam the other John Adam, did Maria belong to one and Maria to the other? Any help in resolving this conundrum would be most welcome. happy hunting Paul Snook

Looks like I messed up the Merge a bit. There are now two Jane (Metzger) Dertzbaugh's which was not my intention. Can you fix them? Dertzbaugh-3 was the one I created many years ago. Thank you,

Hi Sharon! Thank you for the new information for my family tree. I don't know much about my father's side of the family because he was shot and killed when I was three. His name was David Bruce Porter who grew up in Thurmont, MD, mostly. I would love to learn more about his childhood so I am hoping to connect to my family in Thurmont, somehow :) All the best to you and Happy New Year! Stacey Porter
