Music to My Ears

"Music is the color of sound." ~ Author unknown

    

It's been nine years since I last thought to write about music. I'm no musician or singer. I am a listener. Over the years music's importance in my day-to-day life has shifted to allow time for stuff I've unintentionally prioritized. When in all actuality, it makes for an exceptional partner with so many of those things. Why do I forget to let it accompany me in more situations these days? This may be an unpopular thing to say but it's a personal observation as someone who is of a certain age. I've noticed as I have aged into my senior years that I don't process oral output well. Whether it's someone speaking to me, watching something with speaking, or listening to an audiobook. Music though, there's this whole auditory reward beyond any words. If we let it, can't it color our lives with its sound? I vow to spend more time with my "music to my ears."

How do you enjoy your music? Radio? Videos? Satellite stations? Concerts? Your own physical or digital music library? I went from being a child of radio with 8-track tapes to a teenager of radio with vinyl to an adult with cassettes followed by CDs and occasional concerts to a mature listener with solely a digital library. Since my last music update in 2013, I've acquired over 1,000 "new" songs! I hadn't expected my tally to be that many, but the evidence is in my iTunes Library. I can see it, and more importantly, I can hear it.

There are too many to list here; and being too obsessive for my own good, I have made a spreadsheet. I invite you to check out the spreadsheet via the link below the following image and my The Music I Listen to Page. Music is a universal language, so let's discuss it.

The Genealogy Mysteries I Most Want to Solve

After twenty-five years of working on my family's history, the following is the information I desire most.

• I would love to find what New York county my HILL ancestors (specifically my 3rd great-grandfather, Richard D. HILL and his brother, John R. HILL) left when they moved to Medina, Ohio, in the 1830s.
• I would love to find exactly where all of my Irish ancestors (specifically John HANNAN, Margaret (POWERS) HANNAN, James McCORMICK and Margaret (CULLEN) McCORMICK) originated.
• I would love to find the baptism information (parents' names) for my maternal grandfather, Anthony DeCOSTA (Antonio de COSTA) from Lisbon, Portugal.
  

And my most wanted ancestor is...LAU Chung.

The biggest mystery is my maternal great-grandfather. I don't even know what his name truly was, as it was recorded differently on practically every document I have. It was probably LAU CHUNG. 

Following is the little I know about him. According to the man [Ling Sang (sp?)] who was the informant on his death certificate, 1) LAU Chong [Chung] was born 03 May 1867 in China. 2) I know he was working as a contractor at Waiakea Sugar Plantation on the Island of Hawaii in 1910. 3) I know he married Maria Augusta CARVALHO 09 Dec 1912 in Kaneohe on The Big Island. 3) I know he bought the lot in the McInerny Tract in Honolulu where he would build their home on 08 Jul 1915 for $350. 4) I know he built that home at 1223 Alani Street between that date and 1916. 5) I know he had three children with Maria: Rose Lyu [LAU], LAU Kui Kyau (known as Hilda), and Alexander CHONG, who was born four months after his father's death. 6) I know he passed away from heart disease 11 Apr 1918 and was buried at Ket On Society Chinese Cemetery in Honolulu. Because of the condition of the cemetery, his grave is likely never to be found. Those few facts and the photo below are the sum total of my knowledge after all these years.

Somehow, LAU Chung was related to a Mrs. HEU FOOK. Her daughter, Emma VICKERY, corresponded with LAU Chung's daughter (my grandmother, Rose) as a "niece" of some order. How he fit into that family is a big mystery. I've pored over all of the documentation and I cannot figure out his connection. It's all insinuated and not specified. The people mentioned by Emma in this letter dated 14 Aug 1964 to Rose were: Dr. William LING of San Francisco and Dr. Leonard LING of Honolulu (Emma's mother's brothers). Her mother was referenced only as Mrs. HEU FOOK in the letter, but I have recently found her birth name was LING See Kyau. Contained in that letter was outdated information from Emma's mother regarding the status of LAU Chung's children, LAU Kui Kyu and Alexander (Chinese name KUI Chong).

With all of his name variations and my not being familiar enough with all of the intricacies of Chinese names and culture, I feel he will always be a mystery.

Family Research News for June 2022

After about an 11-year break I started up with the genealogy again. A small part of my decision to restart was that Ancestry was offering half off on their 6-month subscription plans. I went for the highest tier, the All-Access Plan which includes access to their worldwide records, Newspapers.com, and Fold3. The larger part was that I needed a project where I could feel a sense of purpose and possibly even consider it some sort of legacy project. 

My sisters and I were raised somewhat isolated from both sides of our family and any discussions about relatives were between adults and never clarified for us. It's been my impression that no one (except a handful of exceptions) in our family has ever wanted to talk about themselves or their immediate families. When I've gathered enough courage to ask questions I have allowed it to make me feel like a complete nuisance. Almost all of the knowledge I have about both sides of our family have come from documents after they've died. There are almost no family stories. My feeling is, we don't have to be rich, famous, or super accomplished to have a story to tell. 

In putting together a "paper trail" of documentation on our relatives I can almost get a sense of what they might have been like. Their hopes for a better life (frequently moving and changing jobs), their hopes for a more fulfilling personal life (marrying, divorcing, remarrying), their struggles (losing children, health issues, legal troubles, financial woes), and their successes (community affection and respect, a loving and united family, occupational advancement, etc.). This is my way of getting to know our ancestors. I hope my family feels the benefits much in the same way. On to the family introductions... (FAMILY HINT: To see how they are related to you, all you have to do is claim (contact me) or log in to your Geni Profile.)

Between the Pages - Books I Read in 2021

"Books minister to our pain, our curiosity and wonder, our needs, our loneliness, our souls." ~Terri Guillemets

To all the authors whose stories entertained me this year, and especially those who wrote my favorites below, you've earned my highest esteem, gratitude, and adoration. Thank you!

As I haven't discovered a better way of expressing the following, I shall repeat what I said in previous years...

The books I select as my favorites each year are those that: I get lost in; the ones that while reading, I lose all track of time; the ones that evoke the strongest emotions; the ones that make me laugh, cry, blush, gasp, and sigh. Yeah, those books!

Each year I meticulously review my database and Goodreads shelves to select my favorites. Even though I arbitrarily decide upon the categories, I am careful in considering which books deserve each designation.

Sadly, no matter how much I love a book, I am unable to recall details. In other words, although my devotion is clear, my memory is not. I would, indeed, like to attempt to explain my choices to anyone who may be interested.

In 2021, I finished a total of 46 digital library books (Kindle and audiobooks). I completed 50 Kindle Unlimited books, and listened to 8 Audible Plus titles. There were 4 books that I did not finish this year. As far as genres go, I read 5 classics, 3 non-fiction, 10 contemporary mystery/suspense/thriller, and 22 historical fiction, most of which were mysteries. The remaining 206 were sub-genres of romance.

There are several books that were published this year that I wanted to read but was unable to, some of which were published late in the year. I may have to make an exception for some of them and include them in a future list, just as I made an exception this year for one Special Mention book that was published in 2019.

I'll be starting out 2022 with nearly 250 books on my to-be-read shelves—primary and secondary—and the 50+ books on my library wish list. I've chosen the Reese's Book Club pick, Lucky by Marissa Stapley as the first book to begin in 2022 and set my Goodreads Challenge goal at 200 books.

My 2021 Stats

My Goodreads Challenge total was 246 (first reads and rereads of single titles).
My database total was 193 (first reads only and book bundles are counted as a single title).

(Note: I receive no monetary compensation. I only wish to show my appreciation. The book links below open up to the corresponding Webpages on Amazon.com or Audible.com.)
