Kip-Kipp Newsletter, Volume 2, Issue 1 completed

I have the next issue of the Kip-Kipp Newsletter completed. I have changed it up just a little as I found it was taking me longer than expected to complete it each time. It will be published on the 1st of February 2023. 

Continuing with the purchase from ebay of a researcher studying the Crum family

 Still continuing with the images of this research done by a family member (it was the husband of a Crum descendant who produced all of these charts). I do not have any information on this individual other than what is in the chart. Edward purchased the material because it mentioned Kipp and he decided that it would be good to look at it in case it furthered his research into the Kip/Kipp family of New York.

I believe there are five images left of all of this material. Unfortunately it had been stored for rather a long time in an area where it picked up a lot of odour and we did photograph all of this material outside wearing masks and gloves. I hope that if it valuable to a reader than you can glean important material from it that may be lacking however I also realize that it may just be redundant to many Crum researchers but in the pursuit of not destroying old records I decided to publish what was of value genealogically.

This material was not sold by the individual who created these charts. It was in the disbursement of his estate that this particular lot of material was placed on ebay. 

Good luck with your research.

More images of the Crum family records purchased on ebay

If you require a better image please do let me know and I can put a link to the original image on my website.
 

Crum / Krom family

 More images from the ebay purchase:

I do not have any information other than what you can see. If copying them does not let you view them as well as you would like let me know and I can add a link to this page so that you can download it from my website.

Indexing the archival boxes

I found yet another picture of Edward that had not been scanned. The clothing dates back to an earlier time but the photo appears to be Edward and not his father whom he closely resembled. 

More images from the ebay purchase

Time has escaped me as I meant to put these images up online from the Crum family much sooner. I think transcribing them slows me down as I already have so much to do. Instead I will put them up and if you have a question please write to kippeeb@rogers.com and put Crum family in the subject line. That will work better I think. I did find that if I simply copied the image and then took it into powerpoint and enlarged it that I could read it very well. 

 

I think this will likely be a large blog file so will just put up three at a time. But this should be speedier. 

Another picture of Edward discovered

 I am doing an inventory of the Archival Boxes which Edward created (I want to check with LAC both here in Ottawa and with the Archival Library for the Province of British Columbia to see if either  of them want all of this material - the Kipp family were early settlers (1800) in Oxford/Burford Counties in Ontario and in British Columbia (Chilliwack). He did publish a history of this family (copy at LAC) and the original images of this family are still in these archival boxes. I found a lovely picture of him as a young child in this first Archival Box I have been working on which I have scanned as it seemed to be missed from the large group of pictures that I scanned for him in 2019 and 2020 (he had not scanned his own pictures at that point). He would be about 2 and one half years old in this picture and I think he is living at the home where he grew up after his father passed away (about three months earlier) but it could also be one of the buildings around the farm. 

Making an inventory of the archival boxes has proven to be an enormous task as this first box took me two hours and I am about to break for lunch. I have all the vacuuming done but still need to dust and scrub, and vacuum down the stairs. I believe I will work on these archival boxes every Monday as it is hard work since I am not that familiar with the pictures in his ancestral line but fortunately he has put pictures into the Legacy family file which has been excellent. I need to check to make sure that all of them have been scanned but for the most part I suspect that will be the case as he spent a lot of time scanning his work. 

As I settle into my task of publishing Edward's research, I hope to have more articles on his blog.
