Ten Tips to Jump Start your Family History JourneyRsMom
This document discusses research into two individuals named Robert Lee Barrett who appear to have had their records mixed up in family history databases. The document analyzes details like spouses, birth dates, death dates, locations, and census records to determine the records actually belong to different individuals who were confused. It also notes an 8-year old son named Lee from 1870 census records that the researcher has not been able to identify in other records.
The document discusses the author's interest in researching their family history to fill in gaps in their knowledge. It provides background on the study of genealogy, tracing its origins to 19th century America. Key organizations that advanced genealogical research included the New England Historic Genealogical Society and the Genealogical Society of Utah. The author outlines basic considerations for genealogical research, such as locations, dates, occupations, and names. They describe resources for research such as interviews, records, and websites like Ancestry.com. The goal is to better understand one's origins and family lineage.
This document discusses common mistakes made by beginner genealogists and provides tips for accurately researching family history. Some key mistakes discussed include failing to thoroughly research siblings and collateral lines, over-relying on secondary sources without checking original records, and not understanding the historical and legal context of the records being used. The document also addresses how to recognize and account for potential errors in genealogical records that can occur due to issues with the recording, transcription, copying or interpretation of information over time. Tips for accurate research include understanding the types of sources, carefully evaluating evidence, and considering all possible explanations when individuals or families cannot be found in expected records.
Why share your genealogy content on WeRelate.org (2009)Dallan Quass
This document discusses WeRelate.org, a genealogy wiki where users can share and collaborate on family trees and genealogical research. It provides five reasons for sharing genealogy research on WeRelate, including helping to create a free and well-documented source of genealogical information, becoming a better researcher, connecting with others, getting family members involved, and leaving a legacy. The document outlines how WeRelate works as a wiki, allowing open collaboration, and describes features like GEDCOM import, source citations, and change notifications. Overall, it promotes WeRelate as a place for open sharing of family histories and genealogical data.
This document outlines 5 steps for learning about emigrants from Wales:
1. Clarify what is already known and the goals for research
2. Search death and obituary records to gain new details
3. Select appropriate source materials based on timeframe and location
4. Analyze sources for credibility and relevance to the research
5. Apply new knowledge and share findings with others
The document summarizes the history and development of the Dutch language from its origins in Proto-Germanic dialects to its current form. It traces the evolution of Dutch from Old Low Franconian dialects through Middle Dutch to early Modern Dutch. Key points include the standardization of Dutch spelling in the 19th century, the language battles that occurred in Belgium between Dutch and French, and the gradual formation of the language borders between Dutch, French and German over time.
The document discusses how technology has changed the meanings of some common words:
- "Stream" now refers to media delivered continuously online rather than a flowing body of water.
- "Thing" in the context of the "Internet of Things" means a smart connected device rather than a generic object.
- "Feed" is now more associated with RSS feeds for blogs and news rather than food for animals.
- "Tag" in computing refers to HTML tags, keywords for information tagging, rather than price tags on products.
- "Viral" describes rapidly spreading online content rather than biology and viruses.
- "Troll" online means someone provoking arguments for fun rather than
English is a constantly evolving language, with words frequently changing meanings or being adopted from other languages. Some key points:
- Many English words have narrowed or broadened in meaning over time. Words like "hound," "meat," and "deer" narrowed, while "dilapidated," "equipped," and "sailed" broadened.
- English has incorporated words from French, Italian, Spanish, Hindi, Persian, Arabic and many other languages. Words for food, architecture, art, and music especially show foreign influences.
- New technologies introduced many new words to describe inventions like computers, the internet, and aircraft.
- American English differs in some spellings and meanings
This document summarizes the evolution of the English language from its Anglo-Saxon origins to modern times. It discusses the influences of invasions by Vikings, Normans, and others in contributing words and changing grammar and syntax. It also outlines ongoing additions to the vocabulary through borrowings from other languages, compounding, prefixing, suffixing, blending, and invented words. The English language has developed a large, diverse vocabulary through continual adoption and adaptation over many centuries.
The document discusses how the English language is constantly evolving to meet the needs of its speakers. It changes gradually over time through influences like new technologies, immigration, colonization, and mistakes. Old English was transformed by the Danish invasion in the 9th century and then again by the Norman conquest in the 11th century when French became the dominant language. Over subsequent centuries, English regained prominence while absorbing vocabulary from Latin, French and other languages. The language became more simplified as it lost complex inflectional endings. The Great Vowel Shift in the 15th-17th centuries also significantly changed English pronunciation patterns.
The document discusses using mailing lists to aid in genealogy research. It explains that mailing lists allow genealogists to connect with others researching the same surnames, locations, or record types to share information, ask questions, and discuss research strategies. The document provides tips for finding relevant mailing lists, joining lists, effectively posting queries, and following list etiquette to facilitate connections with other researchers.
Google provides powerful search capabilities for genealogy research. Key strategies for effective Google searches include using phrase searches, combining search terms, excluding words, using wildcards, searching within specific sites, and setting date ranges. For example, searching for "james muskett" OR "muskett james" will find references to the person whether their first or last name comes first.
Rodney is moving away from the area in September for family reasons. He is stepping down as the leader of the Genealogy group and is looking for volunteers to take over as the new leader. The meeting discusses researching ancestors and techniques experienced genealogists use like starting with narrow searches and gradually expanding the search area. Father Joe Walsh provides an update on consolidating family files into a single program.
Rodney may be moving away from the area for family reasons and his house is for sale. He will finish as president of the Rotary Club in June. This will have implications for the U3A Genealogy group, as Rodney may no longer lead it. Volunteers are sought for a new group leader. The document also provides tips and resources for genealogy research, including record types, websites, techniques to try, and sources to check. It encourages attendees to focus on new lines, update old research, and learn new skills.
This document provides information about a genealogy group meeting for the U3A Genealogy organization. It discusses starting genealogy research by looking at family records, writing down what is known, talking to relatives, and planning research. It then provides tips on various sources like census records, parish records, wills, and more. The document also shares announcements and tips from other genealogists.

3) The final section discusses the results of a group "Bailey project" and asks for any other research topics or brick walls the group could assist with.
This document provides an overview of the history and operation of workhouses in England from the 17th century onwards. It describes the progression from early parish poor relief to the establishment of workhouses under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which built large workhouses called Unions to house the able-bodied poor. Details are given on the admission process, daily routines, rules, punishments and conditions within workhouses. The system was ended in 1930 and replaced by public assistance.
The document provides information about resources for genealogy research, including census, birth/marriage/death, and parish records from various sources like Ancestry and Findmypast. It also discusses genealogy software options and comparing their features, ease of use, reporting abilities, and support resources. Volunteers are sought to review websites on workhouses and compare genealogy software programs, reporting summaries back to the group.
The document provides a list of potential sources to research a person's ancestry and background, including census records, birth and marriage documents, parish records, genealogy websites, mailing lists, schools attended, military service, workhouses, emigration documents, obituaries, gravestones, religion, adoption records, occupations, and trying additional lots of other records.
The document discusses the National Burial Index (NBI) for England and Wales, which provides access to burial records from local repositories and family history societies. It notes that the NBI's third edition contains over 18.4 million burial records and is produced by the Federation of Family History Societies. However, access to the full NBI is limited, as local libraries and some family history centers may not have access to the database.
Covey says most people look for quick fixes. They see a big success and want to know how he did it, believing (and hoping) they can do the same following a quick bullet list.
But real change, the author says, comes not from the outside in, but from the inside out. And the most fundamental way of changing yourself is through a paradigm shift.
That paradigm shift is a new way of looking at the world. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents an approach to effectiveness based on character and principles.
The first three habits indeed deal with yourself because it all starts with you. The first three habits move you from dependence from the world to the independence of making your own world.
Habits 4, 5 and 6 are about people and relationships. The will move you from independence to interdependence. Such, cooperating to achieve more than you could have by yourself.
The last habit, habit number 7, focuses on continuous growth and improvement.
You may be stressed about revealing your cancer diagnosis to your child or children.
Children love stories and these often provide parents with a means of broaching tricky subjects and so the ‘The Secret Warrior’ book was especially written for CANSA TLC, by creative writer and social worker, Sally Ann Carter.

1. Why Genealogy? Wise words.......
One can speculate about the interest shown in genealogy. From nosiness to hobby to serious
specialty, the focus on one's ancestors and their particulars has really caught on. For many it
is clearly entertaining, considering the many genealogical documentaries, such as Who Do
You Think You Are, aired in many languages across the world. Still others see in the research
of one’s roots a form of self-assurance and may feel a kinship with like-minded people when
communicating via forums and other media. Especially in these times of greater flexibility and
mobility as well as the awareness of the rapid passing of time, many wonder about their
origins and values.
Our values come to us through our families. What our forefathers have created has an
immediate impact on our existence. Without our ancestors we would not be where we are
now; as a matter of fact, we would not be here!
This brings us to another point! Going back some centuries, say going back 7 generations,
each one of us would come up with 65,536 ancestors. Going back 17 generations would
amount to 67, 108 864 people in our family tree. According to various views of actual
population size, this addition already would surpass the population of late medieval times.
The fact is, we share ancestors. Somehow, we are all related!
Considering another fact, namely that most people from the 1500 to 1850s lived in rural areas
and had restricted mobility, it would be interesting to find them in their habitat and ascertain
not only dates and places but also living conditions, characteristics, features and traits which
could give clues to historical, social, medical and genetic research. By coming to know our
ancestors, we come to know ourselves.

4. In case you have not heard......
The Sixteenth United States Census, conducted by the
Census Bureau, determined the resident population of the
United States to be 132,164,569, an increase of 7.3 percent
over the 1930 population of 123,202,624 persons. The
census date of record was April 1, 1940. A number of new
questions were asked including where people were 5 years
before, highest educational grade achieved, and information
about wages. This census introduced sampling techniques;
one in 20 people were asked additional questions on the
census form. Other innovations included a field test of the
census in 1939.
5. Local interest
Nearly 700,000 parish records have been
added at findmypast, including more than
400,000 Northamptonshire burials. The
new records also cover Yorkshire, Dorset and
north-west Kent.
6. Life and Death in the 19 Century th
Most family historians will have noticed the relatively short
life expectancy that was part of the everyday experience of
our ancestors. There were many aspects to the twin topics
of mortality and life expectancy, but a couple of facts may
serve to illustrate the situation in days gone by. According to
Professor Michael Anderson, anybody born in England and
Wales in the 1770s had a 12 per cent chance that both their
parents would have died by the time they reached age 25;
broadly speaking, the same situation pertained a century
later. Infant mortality in England and Wales peaked in the
1890s at a tremendously high rate of approximately 150
deaths per 1000 births. These statistics demonstrate that,
for both the adults and children that family historians study,
the world was a dangerous place!
7. Life and Death in the 19 Centuryth
• Taken from an article by Geoff Culshaw
• This article was published in Family Tree
Magazine, August 2009 issue, pp 32-34 (ABM
Publishing)
• http://www.geoffsgenealogy.co.uk/other-articles/
8. Infant mortality
• Most children who died during infancy were given names, but during the 19th
century just over 1% of births in England & Wales were registered simply as male
or female - if you search the birth indexes at findmypast you'll see them listed at
the end of the Search results. As 6 weeks were allowed for the registration of a
birth it seems a reasonable assumption that they were babies who died in their
first few hours or days of life.
• Rather more than half are recorded as male, which reflects the higher infant
mortality amongst boys, and you might expect that for every birth entry there
would be a corresponding death entry (and vice versa), but that didn't seem to
always be the case in the samples I checked, especially in the first few years of
civil registration.
• This apparent discrepancy may have been the result of confusion about still-
births: until 1927 still-births were not registered - the entries in the birth and
death indexes should all relate to live births. Even now there is no publicly
available index of still-births, and normally only the father or mother of the child
can apply for a copy of the certificate, though if they are both deceased brothers
and sisters are also entitled to apply.
9. Welsh Family History Research
• I’ve been lost in the north of Wales this week doing a bit of family
history. Well not physically…I’ve been seeing how much I could do
remotely, with only the resources that are at my disposal online.
• I started with the 1911 census collections on TheGenealogist.co.uk,
ancestry.co.uk and findmypast.co.uk. As I have written before in this
blog, I often use more than one subscription site to look up ancestors
because the search engines on theses sites rely on their own
transcriptions, created by volunteer transcribers and very often a
mistake in the transcription can mean that your search misses the entry
for your ancestor. By using more than one look-up site I can often find
the missing census entry from one by looking on another. This strategy
paid dividends this week with the Welsh research as Welsh names of
parishes very often seem to have variations in spelling and I assume that
some of the transcribers were not local and so were mystified by what
they were reading from the images.
10. Welsh Family History Research
• I used the old trick of putting the parish name into Google, which I had
open in another browser window while my subscription sites occupied
their own windows. Often I was able to find a handy article that
revealed the different ways of spelling a parish, along with the name of
the old county that it was part of. To deal with the mis-transcriptions I
had to use my common sense to match the spelling offered with the
most likely parish that I could find in the county in question.
• One of the brick walls that I ran up against, with this welsh family, was
that they had a very common set of names for their children, in the
particular counties that I was searching within. So as not to waste time I
had to tackle the problem by approaching from a different angle and
using a different data set.
11. Welsh Family History Research
• On TheGenealogist.co.uk site I was also able to search their
nonconformist records, also available at www.bmdregister.co.uk and
was thus able to download an image that pertained to a baptism in the
parish of Myfod, Montgomeryshire. Further research revealed that it
was also known as Miefod and soon I found the correct entry in the
census collection for the character that I was following.
• I was also able to make use of the Hugh Wallis site that allows a
researcher to search within the batch numbers on the familysearch.org
website. With the aid of his useful tool, that is once more functioning
after a period of not following the revamp of the LDS’ familysearch site, I
was able to look for those with a particular first and surname baptised in
a particular Methodist Chapel.
12. Welsh Family History Research
• One last brick wall, that I discovered while doing this research in Wales,
is that the further back in time that I went I came up against the custom
of parent’s giving their offspring Patronymic surnames. This is where a
child took the father’s first name as a surname. I found out that this
practice, while no longer being held to in the towns and among the
wealthier, still continued up until the early 19th century in some of the
rural areas of Wales.
• By the end of my time on this quest I had put a reasonable amount of
branches on to this particular Welsh Family Tree but the conclusion that
I reached is that it really would benefit from a visit to the County Record
Offices in question in order to see the physical records for the various
churches and chapels in the area. Not everything is online but it is a jolly
good place to start!
13. NonConformist ancestors in
England
• Like me you may have gone back up the branches of your English Family
Tree to find that some of your ancestors became nonconformists, that is
they didn’t worship in the Established Church of England or have their
children baptised within it and when it came to being buried they chose
to have a ceremony conducted in a different Christian tradition.
• This week I have been using the resources of
TheGenealogist.co.uk’s BMD Registers to look at images taken from RG4
at the National Archives. These are registers (authenticated by the Non-
Parochial Registers Commissioners) of births, baptisms, deaths, burials
and marriages. They cover the period from 1567 to 1858. To find out
more about them have a look on TNA’s website, but suffice to say that I
have been able to use them effectively to fill in gaps when my forebears
didn’t appear in the C of E parish registers.
14. NonConformist ancestors in
England
• One way of being alerted to possible non-conformity in a line is where
you can only find your ancestor’s marriage in the Parish church. From
1754, and the introduction of Lord Hadwicke’s Marriage Act, most of the
people of England & Wales were required to marry in the Church of
England. For this reason you may discover that your ancestor’s wedding
is in the parish church’s registers, but theirs and their children’s
baptisms and burials are not. If this is the case then you should make a
search of the non-conformist’s records for the area.
• A difficulty can often arise when the chapel in question did not have its
own register. This could occur when the chapel was served by an
itinerant minister, responsible for a circuit of chapels in the area. In this
case you would need to try and find out the name of the minister and
the other chapels in his care.
15. NonConformist ancestors in
England
• Most of the surviving Congregationalist registers up to 1837, and some
for the Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians and Unitarians were
surrendered to the government in 1840 or 1857. These are now held at
The National Archives in mircofilm series RG 4, 5, & 8, and it was the
first of those that I had been looking at onTheGenealogist.co.uk site.
• I have written a short book, How to Search for Your English & Welsh
Family History, that is available as a Kindle download from
Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com, in which I delve further into the subject
of nonconformist, in chapter 10.
16. The Genealogist
The Genealogist.co.uk is a UK based site, which offers
access to a wide range of source materials that are
ideal for users who wish to research their family
history using only records from British and Irish
archives., TheGenealogist.co.uk is highly regarded by
