Friday's Class, October 2nd, 2015 (Beyond Basic Genealogy).
is Family History Month!
Ten Things to Do This Month To Celebrate Family HIstory Month
1. Hold a Family Tree Party
2. Get a Facebook Account and Use it to Round up Your Relatives: Once you have your facebook account, you may form a "group" page for one of your family lines. You can have more than one group, but choose the first group according to whether you have two, three, or four contacts that also use facebook. Give them the ability to invite other family members.
3. Create a Family Cookbook
4. Buy, Borrow or obtain from the library a book (fiction or non-fiction) on Genealogy/Family History. Surf on over to Amazon.com or https://www.readokaloosa.org and see what you can "rustle up".
5. Check your tree and make sure you have a 1940 census entry for everyone alive at the time. For the missing ones, you can search the 1940 census for free.
6. Write two paragraphs about an ancestor's life. (Got this one from the same article as #5): http://blog.familytreemagazine.com/insider/2014/09/10/17GenealogyThingsToDoIfYouHaveOnlyAFewMinutes.aspx
7. Find and read a new blog. http://tinyurl.com/ox3ncya (How to find a genealogy blog).
8. Get an account at FamilySearch.
9. Make or adopt a genealogy checklist: Example: http://www.capitalareagenealogy.org/forms/FRB_Resources_Checklist.pdf
10. Check out Free Handy Tools for Genealogists

What's Wrong with This Picture?!!
 | |
| 1940 Census Okaloosa County |
Okay, I'm not that upset about it; after all at least I found them in the census and I do have to thank the enumerator for doing his job, kind of. I do have the 1930 Census Record and a marriage record for additional sources, plus a death record for Rebecca. What I'd really like is to have known some of these people.
Monday, September 14, 2015
The fun in family history research is that every time you add one little tidbit of information to a person's profile, you are one step closer to cementing his or her identity.
I found the census record for George B. Winters (well, he was a child in the family of Jesse F. Winters), for both 1900 and 1910. For once the ages for George actually synced! He was 15 in 1900 and 25 in 1910.
In 1900, the family was located in Bibb County, Alabama. See above.
In 1910, they were located in Walker County, Alabama, where other members of Jesse's "nuclear" family were already living, and/or they were living also in Winston County, which is contiguous to Walker County.
You will catch yourself getting dizzy as you find and add new sources, then go from one to the other source, making sure the story lines up, and sometimes finding that it doesn't!
RootsMagic has been a great piece of software for my genealogy, as it lets you add so many different types of facts and documents. I track my census info by adding it as a "residence" fact. That way, I have the enumeration date of the census. I "peg" the individual's info and include the occupation if there is one, in the notes section. I've also, at times, added the occupation as fact, so that I can track that (folks often had more than one occupation and I like to add as much to that individual's profile as I can locate).
At the beginning, some of our family groups are a little bit lacking in information; the chart is nearly naked, here! However, as we pursue records and evaluate the data, the result becomes more and more satisfying.

Period research
 |
| Children Playing Outside |
Whatever helps you to understand your 1910 ancestor and his family is something that you should actively pursue!
For example, looking at newspapers from the era, (the grocery ads will shock you at how high prices have risen over the years) are another way to get in touch.
Occasionally, you might have the opportunity to get your hands on some letters that your folks received, diaries, journals, and/or photographs help; take that opportunity and get a glimpse of how they lived their lives. Gather recipes and traditions where possible!
Family day trips and/or striking out on your own to visit museums and libraries is educational and fun. Look for relics, monuments, and county histories. Also, look for art and paintings that were created in that period or whose subject is about life "back when".
What began with my examination of relatives in a 1910 Census, has become so much more than I could have imagined. Documents and records research can get a little dry, sometimes, but it is an essential step in the process. Make sure you wring the truth, the facts, and the words between the lines from your original sources (see below).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To make sense of records that mention your ancestor or a member of your ancestor's household, you can utilize one or all of the following methods:
- Pull the facts from the record and put them in an Excell type spreadsheet. (LibreOffice is available if you don't have Microsoft Office).
- Enter the information in a genealogical software program. The beauty of a software program is that it can manipulate data and print out reports of various types and kinds.
- Either use your software program to create a narrative report or just write the narrative yourself using the facts. Reading the narrative will kind of "cement" in your mind a picture of the family dynamic and/or, also prompt you to assess whether the record makes "common" sense and calculate whether it all adds up, chronologically.
- Use a variety of charts (paper, or digital) or create your own chart. The "flow chart" exists for a purpose and well established genealogical practices have produced charts that will capture your attention, graphically. Free charts are available online in a number of locations and you can search for those sites using Google or your fave search engine.

Inmates Indexing Genealogy Records | Megan Smolenyak
Inmates Indexing Genealogy Records | Megan Smolenyak
Featured at the beginning of Megan's article, is a scrap of an original record that came from the Freedman's Bureau records.
Several years ago, these records (microfilmed representation) became available for indexing through the auspices of the genealogy department of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Other interested groups partnered with them to prepare the records for prime time on the Internet. I'm not absolutely sure whether more help is needed or not. I have to do some research on that!
At some point, someone had the golden inspiration to utilize the prison population in Utah prisons to help index these records. It was quite a project!
Megan Smolenyak shares the personal story of one prisoner who participated. It is a must read! You cannot deal with records of genealogical worth without becoming personally involved, at some point. If you believe in redemption then this story will warm your heart.
When you stop to think about it, there are different types of slavery and much of humankind are or were in prisons of one type or another. I recently discovered a relative, a cousin of my dad's, whose family migrated from Utah to the West Coast in the early 1900's. I found Cousin "Fred" in the 1930 Census of Folsom Prison in California.

The Eastland Disaster, July 23, 1915, Chicago River, Chicago, Illinois
The Eastland Disaster, July 23, 1915, Chicago River, Chicago, Illinois
Is it really a coincidence that after several months of not participating in the FamilySearch indexing project, I should be prompted to get back into the swim of things? I was indexing these deaths when I realized that I should probably look more closely at the names. Perhaps one of them is linked to my husband's family, some of them who lived in Indiana and worked in Chicago.
Whether or not that turns out to be true, at the very least, it is peculiar that I should begin my return to indexing with this batch of records, almost exactly 100 years to the day of the accident.

The Genealogy Roadshow as featured on PBS this past season was even better than the first season. Prominently featured on that show is genealogist, D. Joshua Taylor who has written some essays just recently under the heading, "The Genealogy Factor".
You can locate this type of informal guidance and education by using your Google Alert setting. I use "Family History" as well as "Genealogy". You can also follow a specific region, surname, or personality. And probably much more.

Bay County Genealogical Society of Panama City, Florida
Bay County Genealogical Society of Panama City, Florida
The Bay County Genealogical Society was organized in 1980; it has been a mover and a shaker ever since!
I personally have enjoyed attending seminars sponsored by their organization. I don't have a complete list of the speakers over the years, but one of my favorite personalities is John Philip Colletta, Ph.D. In 2005, he did a seminar "Writing Your Family History--From Dry Facts to Real Life Stories".
This is one of my favorite themes and John covered, step-by-step, in this presentation, those elements of genealogy that are heavy hitters when it comes to writing a readable family history.
The BCGS, by the way, will never let you go hungry. Their leaders are real folks who know the art of Southern Hospitality. In addition, they have been acclaimed as outstanding in the field of Preservation by the Florida State Genealogical Society. Their website is a treasure chest of information for Bay County researchers and their support of the local Bay County Library has been significant.
The monthly newsletter, The County Line, always chock full of

The monthly newsletter, The County Line, always chock full of
- Details about meetings and/or seminars--Need to Know stuff, with a reminder to enjoy regular meetings and socials, and of course, a timely reminder to renew your membership dues! Since 2005, they've been meeting on the third Saturday (which works well for other societies in Northwest Florida).
- Especially helpful, (since it's true that it's "not all on the Internet"), is the publication in the newsletter, of a list of the "new books" in the collection of the Bay County Public Library.
- The Society has in the past also touted their own publications for sale. For example the Bay County, Florida Marriages (Five volumes for 1900-1955).
- Genealogy Methodology: you will find articles in the newsletter that will take some of the guesswork out of searching your ancestors. Blurbs about genealogy tools also appear in the publication. For example, Barbara Winge considered the Naming Patterns for IRELAND, in one column.

I'm recommending this article
Microsoft Word - Why Should I Visit the Family History Center.docx - Why-Should-I-Visit-the-Family-History-Center.pdfThis is an excellent article! I think even a family history consultant on the Family History Staff would agree with my estimation.
If you do choose to read this, expect to learn more than you expected about research, about having a dedicated place to go and do your family history, (dedicated times, as well), and about the value of having other people listen to you talk about your genealogy. Not just your challenges and brick walls, but they will listen to your triumphs and care! And then there's the old maxim about: "Two heads are better than one".

Where Did My Ancestors Really Live - GHL Blog – GHL Blog
Where Did My Ancestors Really Live - GHL Blog – GHL Blog
If you are researching in North Carolina, you will want to follow this blog. It's also a great idea to read blogs from any library that features a genealogy collection or department. You can get an education that way, if you're not careful!
This particular article begins with a question, "Where Did My Ancestors Really Live"? If you are new to genealogy, you will quickly realize that some ancestors were constantly moving! Why did they move? What were some of the migration routes they utilized?
Even if your ancestor didn't move, but lived in the same house his whole life, it is possible that he still lived in three different counties. Click on the link above (the GHL Blog) and find out how that was possible!

It's been several (or is it "many") years since I've utilized PERSI. I went as far as ordering copies of a couple of articles but have long since lost track of them; nor do I remember the content and application. Since I can search PERSI for free in a number of locations online, I should go back and try again to find several articles for my research interests and locations.
As mentioned in the findmypast.com article, the options for retrieving pertinent articles have increased over the last few years.

McKeen talks writing family history | The Ridgefield Press
McKeen talks writing family history | The Ridgefield Press
"Talking" about writing my family history is as far as I've gotten...well almost. While I dream of a book, a completed book about my family history, I have written paragraphs. I have approached writing a family history, but the very thought of carrying through in some type of "sensical" fashion and one day arriving at a tome of published stories, has me shaking in my boots.
Is this a case of phobia? Still, I do desire to take my research and use it for a basis for telling the family story. McKeen has worked on it for 29 years; at this stage of my life (I'm over the hill), what can I still accomplish. Worth thinking about? Worth devoting some time ever Sunday toward that end?
It is up to me and you to make it happen. Follow my blog and I'll let you know of my progress.

Family history of prostate cancer raises a woman's risk of breast cancer
I don't have a family history of prostate cancer, so far as I know, but I thought that this was interesting and certainly a factor that women should be aware of.
Health history is a part of family history and as a family historian, I have always been interested in the "cause of death" section on death certificates. Did you know that there are protocols for recording your family's health history?
Here is a pedigree health form. Write in the cause of death for each family member and take it with you when you go to your doctor for your yearly check up. For more information, google "family health history" or turn to Cyndislist for direction.
