Saturday, May 10th, 2025 - 10:00AM EST - Stan Vincent FGS member - at Falmouth Public Library
- Hybrid Meeting with Live Presenter
- Title : "The Dainty/Undy Saga : Connecting Two Identities to One Person"
- FGS member Stan Vincent will demonstrate the use of disparate record types to uncover the truth regarding a mysterious relative. He was able to prove that Joseph H. DAINTY who was born 10 July 1870 in Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire, England is one and the same person as Joseph H. DAVIS who died on 26 August 1935 in Portland, Oregon. The process will touch briefly on this person’s father Henry DAINTY, his mother Harriet UNDY and their other six children as they made their way to Somerville, Massachusetts via Brooklyn, New York and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
