Our Genealogy Helper

Introduction ...

We have a couple of goals for our Gazetteer:

• That it be a tool which helps us with planning our trips.
• We're trying to shape our Gazetteer as a tool to help us understand the community in which our ancestors lived, the community that was part of their daily lives.
• On our trips, we try to visit those places where our ancestors left their footprints.

By learning about Fellers Heights (and the surrounding area) during the time that our ancestors lived, we hope to have a better understanding of both their community and its relationship to their lifes. We hope that this tool helps to give us an insight into their world.

As we add data and organize our Gazetteer to help with our family research, we will be adding to this our Genealogical Helper for Fellers Heights. While we don't have information that is specific to any given person or family, we intend to expand our understanding about where and how people lived.

Name Variations for Fellers Heights ...

When searching records, keep in mind that names and their spelling can change over time. Our sources include documents like maps, railroad schedules, Travel, Express and Shipping Guides. Many of these documents date from the 1800's and it's common to find spelling differences.

Although we can't give a definitive list, hopefully the following will give you a feel for the variations that might have occurred.

• A typical abbreviation for Fellers Heights: Fellers Hts. (in Canada, 'Hgts.' is the more common abbreviation.)

• While the name of this community is Fellers Heights, be aware that it's the common practice of mapmakers to remove the apostrophe from possessive names<1>. So Fellers Heights may originally have been Feller's Heights.
  
  Sometimes the trailing 's' might be dropped altogether, in which case Fellers Heights might be written as Feller Heights.

If you have information about these names (such as the reason for the change, date of change, the origin of the name), please Contact Us.
