Road near Ware home

Turnersville, NJ

“Turnersvill [sic] NJ. Near Ware Home” is what is written on the back of this photo. I came into possession of this photo after my Uncle Milt passed away and it has always held a bit of a mystery for me. I wonder what road this is. I wonder when it was taken and where the Ware home is in relation to it. I wonder which Ware home.

My Wares lived in Gloucester Twp, Camden County & Washington Twp, Gloucester County, near Turnersville, NJ. They were farmers and the addresses on the census records were not very clear. I’m not even sure if they lived in the same place or moved around:

year wares place
1900 Mary V. Ware(1821-1907) & some of her adult children Gloucester Twp
1910 Albert Ware (son of Mary V) & siblings Road to Sicklerville, Gloucester Twp
1920 Albert Ware (son of Mary V) & siblings Hickstown Road, Gloucester Twp
1930 Emma L Ware (daughter of Mary V) & sister Sicklerville Road, unincorporated place Erial, Gloucester Twp
1900 John H. Ware (son of Mary V) Washington Twp
1910 John H. Ware (son of Mary V) Mt. Ephraim Pike, Washington Twp
1920 John H. Ware (son of Mary V) Turnersville Turnpike, Washington Twp

Road names change, and sometimes have unofficial names. I love that “Road to Sicklerville”. I may never know where this picture was taken, but I have an idea of the region. This is a google map of the area:

Things have changed a bit since early last century in that area. Maybe the Ware home is underneath the Atlantic City Expressway now. :) I don’t know that my “Road near Ware Home” is even remotely recognizable to anyone, but on the off chance, leave a comment below.

Spore is coming soon

When I’m not working or doing genealogy I fill my hours with silly stuff like this. The PC game Spore is coming in September, but until then I have my free demo of Spore Creature Creator. Click the play button to see the goofy little creature I created test out his dance moves:

 

Go to the Spore website to try it out yourself.

My South Jersey roots exposed!

This was so right on, I had to share. Well, I guess I haven’t lost my South Jersey/Philly accent, even after being contaminated by the south and southwest. :-) And yes, people have told me I talk a little weird. ;-)

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you’re not from Philadelphia, then you’re from someplace near there like south Jersey, Baltimore, or Wilmington. if you’ve ever journeyed to some far off place where people don’t know that Philly has an accent, someone may have thought you talked a little weird even though they didn’t have a clue what accent it was they heard.
