26 Places You Have Not Looked For Your Female Ancestor

[@Elke_KB]

My husband's 2x-great-grandmother served on a hospital board in Toronto in the 1800s. I had no idea women did that back then. I haven't done much digging yet, but I keep finding family members that are connected to prominent historical figures in early Toronto history.

My grandmother was put into a mental hospital in Washington State. I am told I am not allowed to have any of the record as why she was there. Sad. Thanj you very much for all of your videos and help!! ♡♡ you!!

Do these also apply to women of color? Which ones do and don’t?

[@Ribcrickett]

Do you have these in a written list?

[@LisaLissonAYMC]

I don't have a written list currently, but will in the near future! I'll keep you posted.

It would have been helpful (personally) to have this topic focussed on the colonial period. Of the clues here that apply to those years only court, tax, and land records are pretty much "it" (absent family bibles). And DNA clues (mitochondrial lineages) are currently pretty useless given the relative paucity of testees.

What about women in Germany?
