Lineage Society Memberships

Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW)

SJ is a Member of the
Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War (SUVCW).

My application to the SUVCW was approved on 16 October 2019. After the Civil War, Union Veterans organized into a fraternal organization named the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) in 1866. The Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War was created in order that the sons of the Civil War veterans (GAR members) could continue the work of the GAR. As the veterans grew older, the SUVCW was endorsed and eventually the GAR was merged into the SUVCW when the last member died in 1954. Later that year, the SUVCW was chartered by Congross and is the today the legal successor to the GAR.

The Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War's long history makes it one of the oldest veterans and hereditary societies in America. It is a fraternal organization dedicated to preserving the history and legacy of the Union heroes who fought and worked to save the Union during the Civil War.

My application was predicated on the service of my great-great-grandfather Oliver Goldsmith Ranck. His service began near the start of the war and he enlisted in Illinois on 1 October 1861. He was assigned to the Illinois 50th Infantry Regiment, nickamed the "Blind Half-Hundred." He served until 12 July 1865. During this application process I came to learn that Oliver was promoted to Sergeant in 1864.

Sons of the American Revolution (NSSAR)

SJ is a Member of the
National Society Sons of the American Revolution.

After years of research and the subsequent discovery of American Revolutionary War Ancestors I decided to join the NSSAR. in total I have been able to document my descent from 15 different Revolutionary War ancestors. I began the application process wtih the Sons of the Revolution in 2018 and nearly two years later my application was approved on 29 May 2020.

The National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution (NSSAR) is a patriotic lineage association initially founded in 1889. The organization is Congressionally chartered and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky. Members are male lineal-descendants of participants in the American Revolutionary War. NSSAR promotes patriotism, education about the war, and preservation of historic records.

Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States (MOFW)

SJ is a Member of the
Military Order of Foreign Wars.

My application to the MOFW was approved on 10 October 2019. The Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States is one of the Oldest Veteran’s and Hereditary Associations in the America. Membership is limited to United States military and former military officers who fought in a designated foreign war of the United States to include active duty, reserve, National Guard, and retired US officers, including the Coast Guard. Descendants are also eligible for membership.

My Ancestors Research Statistics

* Total number of possible ancestors reduced due to pedigree collapse.

+ Last updated 10 June 2020 through 8th great-grandparents (2nd audit complete).

++ The best way to acquire all the data for this template is to do an ancestor's audit. I wrote about it here: Have you audited your ancestors?

+++ I am tracking changes and subsequent audits here: SJ Baty ancestor audit space page.

If you are interested in adding an Ancestor's Research Statistics template to your profile, you can find the code here: My Ancestors Research Statistics Template.

Personal research interests

Family lines I'm working on this year:

Abbott,* Barnes, Beals, Carter, Cobb, DeGraff, Fisher, Hasty, Klinepeter, Le Comte, Miller, Mullins, Tompkins, & Turk.

*It will probably take me two years to enter all of the research on the Abbott family line that cousin Harvey Abbott has collected over the past two decades.

Brick Walls

I am "stuck" at these ancestors and will be working in the future to find their roots.

• Always looking to break the current brick wall: Samuel H. Baty

I have started a space page to document the efforts to locate his parents - it is in progress and I will be adding to it over the coming weeks: Finding the parents of Samuel H. Baty, 1830 - 1912

• Hans|Velten Ranck, aka "Rev. Jean Ranc." Hunting down his roots has been the mission of hundreds (thousands?) of Ranck descendants for over 100 years. Help from our fraudster friend Gustav Anjou and the creative turn-of-the-century (19th-20th) writing of some ancestors has made this an exceptionally difficult endeavor.

Click here to see a full list of my brick-wall ancestors and put Baty-260 in the WikiTree ID box.

Thanks to Jamie Nelson for the creation of the Brick Wall Ancestors App.

My Wikitree cousins

In memorium

Harvey Abbott (1942 - 2020)

Harvey Abbott - First cousin twice removed: Harvey is first cousin to my maternal Grandfather.

I tracked Harvey down after discovering the census records of my Abbott ancestors and then we compared notes. We had the same family stories even though our lines were separated by 100+ years. We've been genealogy collaborators ever since.

Harvey and I have had a close genealogy connection for the last decade and we chat by email, text, and by phone weekly or every other week. I was able to visit him in 2008 when I passed his home on a drive across the country.

Sadly, Harvey passed away on 24 January 2020 and is sorely missed. It will probably take me years to upload all of the documentation that Harvey has forwarded to me in the last decade.

Some cousins I've met on Wikitree

• Cathryn (Hallett) Hondros - 5th cousins through our Revolutionary War Patriot Ancestor John Leffel (1753 - abt. 1801) and his wife Anna Margaret (Obenchain) Leffel (abt. 1760 - 1829).

• Caryl (Short) Ruckert - 7th cousin, genealogy pal, & and Ranck family collaborator.

• Doug Moore - Cousins through our shared ancestor Samuel Merrifield Sr. whose history we researching and rewriting. I met Doug through an article he wrote on Samuel and later asked him to join Wikitree.

• Gerald Jones - 12th cousins through our shared ancestor Sibyl (Gwyn) Powell (1570 - 1636).

• Rev. Dr. Jack H. Day - 11th cousins, twice removed - related through common ancestor Peter Foster (abt. 1550 - bef. 1609). Jack and I are Disproven Existence Project collaborators.

• Lori (Fenstemaker) Humphrey - 6th cousin once removed through our common ancestor, Revolutionary War Veteran Stephen Tompkins Sr.

• Margaret (Robe) Summittl - 8th cousin twice removed through our shared ancestors John Beals Sr. (abt. 1650 - 1726) and his wife Mary Jane (Clayton) Beals (1665 - 1726).

• Dr. Michael Bissell - Benefiell - 7th cousin, once removed - we're trying to untangle the huge mess that is the Cobb lineage.

• Terri (Solomon) McGhee - 5th cousin once removed through our common ancestors Benjamin Hasty II (abt.1769-1840) and his wife Mary (Warren) Hasty (abt.1775-abt.1864).
