Beginning African American Family History ResearchThom Reed
Danielle Batson, AG®, MLS, presented this information at the AAHGS Utah Chapter research series on February 28, 2015. This presentation focuses on African American research from 1865 (after the Civil War) to the present. Danielle teaches, to be successful in locating your ancestors back to slavery, you must first locate any and all records for your ancestor and each of their family members (parents, siblings, etc.). Verification of information and finding additional clues on other family members’ records are essential in identifying your ancestors correctly. It will also help in determining possible slave owners.
Whether your ancestor was a Smith, Jones, Brown, or Johnson, Juliana Szucs Smith will share tips for tracking them down. Using charts, spreadsheets, search tips, and a little common sense, you’ll leave this class with some ideas for narrowing your search.

Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

from military, census, immigration and vital
statistics, to newspaper articles, maps and
photographs, border crossings,
naturalization records. It even has a card
catalog which lists individual databases.

billion records and had over 2 million
subscribers.
7. What services?

Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA testing.
9. Other facts

available for free at the Family History
Centers. It is available there now for free.
Members of the Church of LDS will be
getting free access as individuals, while non
members can use it for free at FHC’s and in
libraries which subscribe.
10. • Are you using Ancestry Library Edition, or
a personal subscription?
11. What is the difference between Ancestry.com and
the Ancestry Library Edition?
• Ancestry.com is designed for the individual so
there is a lot of personalized functionality and
there are personalized options available to
individual subscribers that are not available on our
institutional sites. These include: Family Trees

14. So, what can you do?
• Search censuses, using truncations and wild
cards.
• Search military records
• Search immigration records
• Search vital records
• Search contributed family trees (use
caution!)
15. There are advantages to both
Ancestry subscriptions and to
using the free version at libraries
and FHC’s
16. How do you search censuses?
• Hint: Creatively!
• Just because you spell the name one way
doesn’t mean that it has always been spelled
tat way. And consider also census takers
who talked to neighbors, workers who
weren't very literate themselves, or did not
speak the language of the people they were
interviewing.
17. Remember also that names can
be flipped first to last, people
wrote what they heard, and might
not have even gotten
everyone in the area.
And what about censuses being
mis-copied? Or lost before
filming?
18. • Use tricks that you can find in the help
section. Do not just search always for the
exact name(s) which you seek. Consider
neighbors and married daughters.
21. Why are these bad?
• They actually were William Eydler, an his
wife, Margaret Ahlbrandt. Their baby
daughter Bertha was 3 months old and is
not shown at all!
23. • Fine tune your search.
• Use names, places, time periods, other
relatives or neighbors, even places of
origin.
• Use advanced search boxes.
• Put a little information in and gradually
expand it - do NOT put full names and
exact dates in to start.
• Difference between * and ?
24. Look at what the sources says
about what is in the collection.
36. Remember to fine tune your
results
• Do you search exact? Or by sounds-like?
Lived in?
• Born in (watch for extreme misspellings
and variations in this one!)
41. • You can zoom the display; save it to a
computer or flash drive; print it; or email it
to yourself or to someone else.
• And you can attach to your records if you
have a tree on Ancestry.
