Anyone out there related to the Albertson family?

Question

Answer 1

Hi Hunter,

Don't feel bad. People ask "Anyone related to {Surname}?" here a dozen times a day. Without you telling us which county in Texas your kin come from, we can't tell if we're related or not.

If your kin are not from Texas, you should still say where they are from, and when the earliest Albertson you know of lived and died. His first name, race, religion, spouse's name and occupation might help too.

Some Australians use this board. You can't tell them from normal people unless they mention their kangaroo ranch. We also get people in the UK and Canada. They both speak English, although the Brits have a horrible accent, almost as bad as the people on the "BBC America" cable channel. The more information you can post, the easier it will be to help you. State and county help a lot. City doesn't help as much as county does, but it doesn't hurt.

Finally, if you were searching for people born after 1930, most of them are not on the Internet, unless they have died.

Answer 5

You are assuming that there is ONE Albertson family, and all of them are related.  My advice is that this is probably one reason why you are having so little luck.

The process of genealogy avoids this issue.  What you have to do, is to work with the present, USE DOCUMENTS (not what people "know"), and build on those. For example.. identify yourself first, next, your parents, next, your grandparents. If grandpa is John Albertson, who lived in Iowa and died in 1947.. THAT is who you are looking for. Your goal is to find his parents. That will happen when you work with a document showing his birth was 1916 in Des Moines. You would then come to the likelihood that the family will be in the 1920 census in Iowa.

With no intent to insult you.. your question is so vague that no CAN find who is related to you. I might have Albertsons in my family in Sweden in 1834. You have not included even a country, so it would be useless to dig through my records.

If you are not able to identify exactly what you are looking for.. then other people's hands are tied. Catch 22.. when YOU know what you are looking for, it is far easier to google ie Iowa birth certificates or Des Moines history.

If I could offer new researchers ONE PIECE of advice.. it is to throw out the idea that you are looking for a surname/ family tree. Look for individual persons, who you know absolutely to be related (since you started out with yourself).  The records ARE OUT THERE, if you can define what you need.
