Posting more documents on Family Tree

About four years ago, I prepared a document "The Descendants of Johann Altgelt, Lay Judge of Siegen."  He was a distant ancestor of Cyrene Standley Merrill (8th great grandfather) and her father Alexander Scoby Standley.  It is 114 pages.  I have it in PDF format that I can e-mail to anyone interested. There are photos that I took of the cities mentioned and the original document in German and then a descendancy chart in English with the line to the Standley and the Stolts families with an index of names at the end.  I put this on Family Tree today.  I have not yet tagged all of the individuals mentioned in the document.  That will be my next big project.

You can download it from there.  Since Family Tree does not want patriarchal blessings on the web, I had to re-edit the document to exclude the ones I had in the original, but I do have the original with the blessings that are in a small enough file to attach to an e-mail.

The introduction details the provenance of the original document.  I put this together into PAF while I was in Frankfurt on our mission in 1997-2000 and then finished the document in 2009.   

Finding lost relatives

My grandson Nicholas was called to serve in the Manchester New Hampshire mission.  His first area of service was in Middlebury, Vermont.  When he went to church he met a brother Gee.  I e-mailed him and asked him to get me some information on this brother Gee. His name was Edward Gee.  I asked my grandson to get some information about his parents.  This was his reply:

His parents are Albert Richard Gee and Phyllis H. Gee

His grandparents to that side are Walter Allen Gee and Bertha Sumner.

He doesn’t remember how to spell them, so I had to guess, so the spelling may differ.

With this information I looked on Family Tree and found the individuals. 

I wrote him the following:

I found his parents and grandparents on Family Tree.  There are some ordinances that need to be done. You might let him know of these.  If he would like me to do them, I would be happy to do it or process them and send him the cards to take to the temple.

Our common ancestor is Solomon Gee of Lyme, Connecticut. 

His line goes as follows; Edward, Albert Richard, Walter Allen, Willis Freeman, Allen B, Solomon, Leuman, Solomon Jr. and Solomon Gee of Lyme Connecticut. (8 Generations).

Your line goes as follows, Nicholas, Rachel, Ivin Laurence, Ivin Lafayette, William Erastus, Erastus Rowe, Lysander, Salmon, Zopher, William, Solomon Gee of Lyme Connecticut (11 generations)

Looking in Family Search Record Search, I found the birth date for Edward and also his parents and grandparents.  I also found three of his siblings and their birth dates and birthplaces.  I also found five siblings for his grandfather and one for his grandmother.  There were ordinances to be performed for these individuals as well.

I still need to do further research and work on this line back to Solomon.  Most of the work has been done, but sources need to be attached.

There is work enough to e'er the sun goes down, on my life at least. 

I also found a gee cemetery just outside of Middlebury.  This does not seem to be indexed.  Another project
