Conflicts in English lineage

I am beginning to wonder if we will ever get the Hardesty Hardisty Hardistie's of England straighten out

Arthur Hardisty Two Wives and ppears to have the same man listed with and without parents marrying sisters! and basically the same set of children - but have pick and chosen data to use. This is a great example of what has been done over the years besides using the christening dates as birth dates and the burial dates as death dates. this is why no headway can be made on these families

This person has 2 trees listed on Ancestry.com Tree #1 has 2 wives listed for Arthur

Descendant Profiles

The GEDCOM pull down of 31 March 2014 - says that there are 9032 profiles with 3210 marriages on Geni from the anchor profile and the PAF manuscript count is 21,548 and 8266 marriages - this includes the names of the spousal parents if known.

This has been merged with my database that was created from my 1976 manuscript
and created problems -

• the incomplete merges made for double, triple, quadruple profiles of certain descendants.
• for some reason if a person is listed as being divorced a GENI GEDCOM usurps one of the parents out of the family - breaking up the family connections and listing the divorced spouse as "known" ie say John Doe and Jane Doe is divorced; John Doe would be listed with the children with the mother listed as 'unknown' and Jane Doe would be listed with an 'Unknown' spouse.

As of 27 March 2015 I have this data base hopefully down to one profile of each person, the broken families back together with a count of 24026 profiles and many of these are yet to be entered into GENI and new ones are being added as I verify and documented data.

History of the Project

This actually started with very meager information from Minnie Cleo (Merritt) White who gave me my double lineage outline off of Thomas through 2 of his children Aquilla Hardesty and Margaret Hardesty; and told me I could fill in the blanks - the other child a daughter Elizabeth married Elijah Ashcraft and their son married into the Emery's of which I re-done, updated and had printed in 1982.

This started out as a 25-50 page booklet back in 1976 - it all was done by hand on 8 1/2 by 11 paper and hand typing on a portable Smith-Corona manual typewriter; I bought my first electric one and then my second electric one from Everton's I also bought the pedigree charts and group sheets to fill in and send out to collect data with. The numbering was done by hand - to add to the manuscript as it was done on typing paper wherever an entry was needed to by made the page was split a line drawn as to where typing was to begin and then the portion already typed taped to the new sheet of paper; the numbering was done by hand & mentally.

Sometime after October 1986 it was transferred into 'Wordstar'   on  5 1/4 disk via a  'Kaypro PC'  that was only a 2 floppy drive, no internet and no hard drive -  that improved  data entry immensely  and a copy could be printed out for correcting and for re-numbering, and to send out to Kinko's.   The manuscript  would be printed in a series of 15 copies - mostly  given away to those who contributed and a few  paid for a copy. Cost was just the  Xeroxing fee.

Some time after I got my first 'techy computer' in 1997 with a hard drive, modem (which I could not use for serveral years) it was then converted into 'Word'; the count of pages of the 'Word' files is 195 pages with 3166+ (many being un-numbered) and then finally data based into PAF (Personal Ancestral File) about 2004 and finally converted to RootsMagic (2015).

A a new numbering system was needed and it was way to share since Xeroxing it was no longer an option to be done because of expense. and there was a need for an index.

Many descendants just gave names - no dates - and no documentation - in which Clarice Hord (a descendant) and her husband Claude M. Lynch contributed to heavily and rounded up many of the Greene county Indiana Hardesty's who contributed their family lines. They though every Hardesty descendant male and female should be included and done their utmost to accomplish this mission.

I purchased the Bloomfield news in order to keep up to date the all my dad & Mom's lines as they were the first of the direct line to leave Greene county sometime after 1948 Thus I had the obituaries and the court news of the marriages & divorces thus so I could connect and fill in missing family data with or without the help of descendants.

Thus this has been primarily all my work and research over the last 30 years. gathering documenting and re-documenting 'dead" internet links. And in essence I have been the CURATOR of the Hardesty/Hardisty genealogy since 1976 sharing it with others along the way. yes there have been mistakes through the years such as trusting what a person called a "clean GEDCOM"

Scope of Project

is To build a single, validated and documented shared family tree
the goals being:

• 1) to create on Geni an accurate representation of the genealogical information
• 2) to clean up duplicates and ensure quality of the involved profiles
• 3) to sort out the lines and connect the different lines
• 4) To correct the spelling back to the original for the affected branches who used the HARDISTY spelling.
• 5) To correct the English lines from the birth date back to the christening date - few birth dates were stated all were christening dates and descendants changed them into being actual birth dates.
• 6) RULE - All profiles marked PUBLIC - with me as the controling manager ARE NOT TO BE CHANGED TO PRIVATE under any circumstances. UNLESS YOU ARE THE Living profile person and ASK for control of your profile - I have choosen to leave any profile I feel to be LIVIING blank of all data - birth, marriage etc. = only those of DECEASED status will contain data IF known

FAMILY TREES on GENI

1 - William Ray Overman - Has been merged with 'Big Tree'

2- - Christopher Paul Hardisty - merged with 'Big Tree'

3 - Valerie Phillips Roberts - merged with 'Big Tree'

SHARED

This work since 1975 has been shared in 'updated booklets" made at kinkos which was in Bloomington, Indiana - a new set of 15 copies were made - and given to the MAJOR researchers of the time the two main promoters was Clarice Hord Lynch a descendant and he husband claude matthews Lynch - and one was put into the library and Bloomfield Indiana. others paid a minimal cost for the Xeroxing and postage.

Two primary sites on the internet - received Gedcoms of this data :

• Alan Hardisty - Hardisty Family Tree and he also has his private site of the same material and more at Hardesty Tree ,(PhpGedView) and Hardisty Family Tree Website
• John Dean (Jack) Hardesty, William Hardesty descendants, his site seems to be defunct as of now it was at http: // websites.quincy.edu/ ~hardesty.

Very early researches now deceased were:

• Minnie Cleo (Merritt) White - she handed me my two hardesty lines in outline form and said i "could fill in the blanks" she would help when she got fellign better - she died of cancer 4 Jun 1979 and never wasl able to help but she done much reasearch that others shared hardisty/edington and her daughter [Wilma Sophronia Rollins] Wilma Sophronia Rollins (White)
• Audrey (wade) Hudson d. 17 Nov. 1981 Ashcraft hardesty
• Flora Irene "Irene' (Hardisty) Fithen d. 9 Oct. 2008
• June Alah (Fuller) Smith - Emery, Ashcraft hardesty
• charles Leonard Edington d. 24 Mar 1999 Hardesty/emery/edington my mothers double cousin from both the Edington's & Emery's who done all the leg work in Greene county Indiana

There was another who contributed the ashcraft line from out west - Martha; besides the book i have on the Ashcraft's.

--------------------------

The Hardisty has a long anglo-saxon heritage.

the name comes from when a family lived in the village of Hardisty hill located in th parish of Fewston , in the county of Yorkshire. in its old English form this place-name was originally Hardolfsty with it origin in the name Hardhulf.

The Hardesty name is one of that class of surnames which are derived from place names. In this case, from a locality in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England. The name is, as shown above, Heardwulfstig, which being translated into modern English from the Anglo-Saxon, means Hardwolf's Path. Who was Hardwolf?? He was, apparently, a Saxon landowner of pre-Norman times in Fewston Parish, Yorkshire. Hardwolf was in time spelled Hardulf or Hardolf. The Poll Tax records for the West Riding of Yorkshire in the year 1379 show a Stephanus and a Johannes de Hardolfsty, both from the village of Timble Great, or Great Timble as it is known today. From Fewston, Hardestys spread into surrounding parishes, with the parish of Hampsthwaite being one of the major sources of the colonial Hardestys. The family has spread from this small parish to around the world

Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle AGes, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of french, Latin, and other European languages,. Manuy variations of the name Hardisty have been found, including' hardisty, hardesty, Hardistry, Hardystry, Hardestye, Hardistye, Hardestey, hardestie, Hardest,Hardester and others.

Recorded as Hardolfsty in 14th Century documents relating to that county, the first element is the Old English personal name Hardolf, a compound of 'hard', meaning 'hardy', 'brave', or 'strong', plus 'wulf', a wolf, ultimately from the Old Norse 'ulf', wolf, plus the Old English 'stig', sty. A sty was a pen, enclosure or cabin generally for a cattle, poultry, or swine, hence, 'hardolf's sty'
