Genealogy has become a hobby for me over the last 10 years. For me, it's like a puzzle, I love fitting the pieces together. But over the years, I've researched a lot that does not pertain to our family lines. Some for extended family, some for close friends, and some because I was trying to rule out lines to figure out where our line went exactly. I do not want these notes on my Heather's Genealogy Notes blog - because they are not our lines. But I do like to share all of my research, in case it benefits others. That is what this blog is for - research I have done that does not apply to our own family lines, but may be helpful for someone else.

Jacob Aunkst 
born abt 1842, lived in Milton, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania

 I believe Jacob is the grandson of Daniel & Mary (Zweyer) Aunkst - a child of their son William - based on the 1860 census.

I give, dispose, and bequeath  [unreadable] my beloved wife Minnie Aunkst, her executors and assigneds for ever, all my property real, personal, and mixed of what nature as kind [unreadable] and wheresoever the same may be at the time of my death.
