Downloaded from Dick Eastman’s Online Genealogy Newsletter CanadianHeadstones.com now Exceeds 1.5 Million Records The folks at CanadianHeadstones.com (CH) sent a note announcing that the online web site has now surpassed 1.5 Million records. The announcement states, “CH was founded in 2009 as a completely FREE archive of headstone photographs. As a Canadian non-profit corporation, CH is staffed and controlled by unpaid-volunteer Directors. As a corporation, its longevity does not depend on a single person or private control. CH is the only fully Canadian site which indexes every name on the headstones, provides the complete transcription and is fully searchable on multiple levels including the text of the transcription. “Hundreds of volunteers and volunteer groups are submitting over 800 records per day!” You can learn more or even submit your own headstone photos for others to enjoy at http://www.CanadianHeadstones.com Staten Island Historical Newspapers Now Online The New York Public Library just posted more than 9,000 pages from The Richmond County Advance online, covering the years 1886 to 1910. Find them at nypl.org/sinewspapers. This “NYPL Innovation Project” began with the scanning of the Advance from the collections of Historic Richmond Town. It is the largest batch of historical Staten Island papers ever posted to the Web — and it is changing the way we explore the Island’s past. The Advance joins the Richmond County Mirror online, which was previously posted by the New York Public Library. Historical newspapers can be useful to many different people: Genealogists seeking information about ancestors will find a treasure trove of information about the Island’s early residents. Students and teachers can learn about how national and global events affected their own communities. Scientists seeking to model changes in the climate can easily trace local weather events back to the 1800s. Historians can follow the development of Island social and political issues across the decades. Very often these newspapers are the only record left of significant historical events. You can read more about this new collection at https://goo.gl/WrVLVV Early Irish Marriage Index Reaches 80,000 Records The following announcement was written by the folks at the Irish Genealogical Research Society: The Irish Genealogical Research Society’s Early Irish Marriage Index has now been updated, with several thousand more records being added, all noted from obscure and underused sources. The database now holds reference to more than 80,000 marriages. Combining the names of brides, grooms with the various relatives mentioned in the database, the Marriage Index now notes almost 177,000 named individuals. A good many of the latest batch were extrapolated from Index of Nuns, a CD publication in 2015 by the Catholic Family History Society, which notes biographical information for about 14,000 nuns, many of them from Ireland. For many, their date of birth and parents’ names are recorded, allowing for an approximation of the year by which their parents had married Roz McCutcheon, the creator and coordinator for the BMD Indexes, said about the latest update: “I’m quietly pleased at breaking through the 80,000 barrier. With the steady help of some valued volunteers, I’m looking forward to the database soon reaching 100,000 marriages! In the meantime…I owe a big thank you to every one of my volunteers.” You can search the updated Marriage Index by following this link to the search page. An update to the Death Index was launched at the end of June. An update to the Birth Index will be launched in August.

Truthdig! drilling beneath the headlines Writing as Resistance Posted on Jul 17, 2016 By Chris Hedges WARSAW, Poland—Dreary, Soviet-style concrete apartments rise up where 68 Nowolipki St. was during World War II. It was at this spot, although there is no marker to record the event, that some of the milk cans and metal boxes crammed full of essays, reports, official communiqués, wall posters, pictures, drawings and diaries that recorded life in the Warsaw ghetto were unearthed from the rubble shortly after the war. The cache of material, known as the Oyneg Shabes Archive, was buried by writers, led by the historian Emanuel Ringelblum, as German occupation forces were liquidating the ghetto. They meticulously documented all aspects of life in the ghetto and the annihilation of the Jews by the Nazis. Writing was an act of resistance and faith. It affirmed the belief that one day, a day the writers knew they would probably never see, these words would evoke pity, understanding and outrage and provide wisdom. They struggled to make sense of the stark contrasts of good, evil and indifference. They explored what it meant to live a life of meaning in the face of death. They did not know if their writing would survive. Some of the archive was never found. They did not know who, if anyone, would read their work. But they wrote with a messianic fury. Their words were the last link to the living. Dawid Graber hastily buried some of the archives in August 1942 as deportations in the ghetto were being accelerated—between July 22 and Sept. 12 some 300,000 Jews were driven out of the ghetto to the gas chambers at Treblinka. He wrote: “What we were unable to cry and shriek out to the world we buried in the ground. I would love to see the moment in which the great treasure will be dug up and scream the truth at the world. So the world may know all.” He ends with the words: “We may now die in peace. We fulfilled our mission. May history attest for us.” For the remainder of this very interesting article, go to: http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/writing_as_resistance_20160717 Sally Rolls Pavia [email protected] List Owner: [email protected] Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index "Our Soldiers are one of our greatest assets!"

GenealogyInsider By Diane Haddad and the Family Tree Magazine Staff 3 Tips for Preserving Childhood Memories Posted by Diane Haddad Tuesday, July 12, 2016 Want to dig into your past? Blogger and author of the Story of My Life workbook Sunny Jane Morton shares three quick tips for recalling childhood memories: What do you remember from your childhood? If you’re like most people, the answer may be, “Not much.” The older you get, the more remote and vague your youngest years may seem. That can be so frustrating when you want to document your life story (and the first chapter is missing!) or bring to mind clues from your childhood that would help you research your family history. When starting to piece together your childhood memories, try following these three steps: Capture your memories as they are. You may not have many clear, consistent memories before about age 10. The ones you do have may seem fragmented. That’s because you experienced the world as a child, with a child’s emotions and perceptions, and you stored them away in the same fashion. But these memories still have value. Write them down. Then think about them over the course of several days or weeks. You may find bits of memory or explanation resurfacing. Add them to your written account. “Borrow” memories from loved ones. It’s not cheating to gather memories about your youngest years from those who remember them better. Ask parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, siblings, old neighbors and longtime friends about specific events or your childhood generally. Their memories will have limitations, too, but it’s worth asking. Research your past to fill in the blanks. Once you’ve compiled your memories alongside those of your loved ones, you may still identify gaps in the stories. Consider what missing details may be researched, particularly those that would bring the story back alive for you. Perhaps you could look up the specs on the 1950 Oldsmobile your father bought, the names of your grandparents’ neighbors or the route you would have taken on that road trip the summer you turned 12. To help you with your project, you might be interested in the following: Learn more about each of these steps—from writing down and fleshing out vague memories to researching their contexts—in the Story of My Life workbook by Sunny Jane Morton. This life-story writing guide is packed with memory-jogging journaling prompts and more tips for fleshing out your life’s most meaningful stories. Story of My Life is available as an easy-to-use softcover workbook and as a writeable PDF—just type your answers and save them in a pre-formatted document you can print or share as you like.

Photographs of Men Who Fought in the Revolutionary War Yes, you read that right. Photographs of Americans who fought in the Revolution are exceptionally rare because few of the Patriots of 1775-1783 lived until the dawn of practical photography in the early 1840s. Utah-based journalist Joe Baumam spent three decades researching and compiling the images. These early photographs – known as daguerreotypes – are exceptionally rare camera-original, fully-identified photographs of veterans of the War for Independence – the war that established the United States. You can see the photographs in an article in The Daily Mail at http://goo gl/S3s7g8. Trove online database's future in doubt due to National Library funding cuts By Georgia Hitch The future of the Trove online database is in doubt due to funding cuts to the National Library of Australia. Key points: Trove digitises items like books, photos, newspapers and maps It currently holds over 4 million items The National Library is facing $20 million in funding cuts In February it was revealed a number of national cultural institutions were looking at reducing staff numbers as they face $20 million in cuts from the Federal Government's efficiency dividend. Later that month, a leaked email from the National Library's director-general projected 22 jobs would be axed next financial year, with more in the future, as a result of the funding cuts. Although Trove, which was launched in late 2009, is funded by the library's budget, without government funding the library will not be able to update the material in the database. Currently the database hosts more than 4 million digitised items, including books, images, music, historic newspapers and maps. In 2014, the database's fifth year, an estimated 70,000 people were using the website each day.
