My experience is dated I went to the State office of Vital Statistics Walked up to the counter Filled out their form Waited a while and left with the documents It is my understanding that that office either does not exist any longer or does not allow public access.

    1. Need some help of direction
    2. densign
    3. I'm looking for help or direction into finding a cousin in the Palm Desert area. Can anyone be of some help, or help guide me in the right direction. I have only gotten to dead end roads...... I don't even know if I am on the right internet site. I am looking for a cousin I have not been in touch with over 12 years or better. My cousin's last known name was Elouise (Ellie) Kay Catalano. Her last known address was in 1992, Palm Desert, I believe it might have been, 74040 Zelardo Drive 92260-2673 in California. My cousin had been married more then one time, and has 2 living children I'm sure might be near her. A daughter Dawn Catalano born March 12, 1975 and a son Sean Guffy born Dec. 1982. My cousin Elouise's madian name was Giesholt. Her first marriage was in May 9th. 1971 to a Dave Catalino (since passed away I believe), then on July 19th. 1982 married a Pat Guffy. (They seperated). I think my cousins birth date might have been May of 1945.

    3. The Castle Garden Database is now online. You can presently search New York passenger arrivals from 1830-1892. http://www.castlegarden.org/ The data reported is Firstname, Lastname, Occupation, Age, Sex, Arrived, Origin, and Ship. The website says, in part: CastleGarden.org offers free access to an extraordinary database of information on 10 million immigrants from 1830 through 1892, the year Ellis Island opened.... From 1855 to 1890, the Castle was America's first official immigration center, a pioneering collaboration of New York State and New York City. CastleGarden.org is an invaluable resource for educators, scholars, students, family historians, and the interested public. Currently the site hosts 10 million records, and support is needed to complete the digitization of the remaining 2 million records, beginning in 1820, from the original ship manifests.

    1. Legacy 6.0 on sale BYU Genealogy Conference now at July 27, 2005 05:57 PM
    2. James L. Rader
    3. Legacy 6.0? Is a new version of Legacy about to be announced? The following was noted in the Utah Legacy Users mailing list: Comments Yesterday I went to the BYU Genealogy Conference to hear Geoff Rasmussen talk about Legacy 6.0. I am so excited about this new upgrade. I plan on buying tomorrow when I go again. I understand they don't have the CD's and manuals yet for it. They have to send you a link to download it. Question: Will there be a new Legacy 6 mailing list? I'm sure glad I didn't buy GenSmarts at the conference, since Legacy now includes it's own version of it! :) I thought I would share with you the handout Geoff gave us on what is new in Legacy 6.0 Renee Zamora Legacy 6.0 What's New Research Guidance - Legacy's Research Guidance helps you locate records that may contain information about your ancestors. It does this in four steps: 1. Legacy helps you review the ancestor's timeline, to be certain that you've already recorded everything you know about your ancestor. 2. Legacy suggest preliminary survey sources to help you learn if the research is already in progress by another researcher. 3. After selecting your goals, Legacy provides a list of prioritized suggestions to help you accomplish them. 4. Finally, Legacy organizes the sources into a To-Do List. Publishing Center - This new feature lets you select one or more reports and combine them into one large book report. All the information from the various reports are indexed and sourced together and a master Table of Contents is generated. You can also add a Title page, Preface page, Dedication page, Copyright Notice page, Introduction Section, and Abbreviations page to the beginning of the book. Legacy Home - The new Legacy Home tab on the main screen of Legacy brings you important information about your family file and also gives you a global view into the world of genealogy. It includes Legacy News, To-Do item reminders, birthday and anniversary reminders, general reminders, statistics about your family file, links to update Legacy, technical support links and much more. The built-in browser lets you browse the Internet without ever leaving Legacy. Timelines - This feature lets you select timeline files containing events from certain localities, and add them to the Timeline and Chronology reports as background information to show what was happening during a person's life. Timeline files can be created and edited by the user. DNA - Legacy now lets you record DNA marker test results from several different companies. Forms Center - (Reports>All Reports>Forms Center) or (Report button> Books/Other tab>Forms Center) New forms will be added on a continuing basis. These new forms will probably be available online in various packets for those who want to download them. Potential Problems List Format - The list of all the problems found are now presented in a grid list that is retained from session to session (until rebuilt by the user). From the list you can edit the affected individuals and correct the problem or exclude it from future checking. Global US County Verification - This new feature checks your entire family file to verify that the US counties you have used were in existence for the time periods you are using them. Location Prepositions - On the Add/Edit locatio screen (reached from the Master Location LIst), there is a field for the location preposition. This defaults to "in" but can be changed to other prepositions like near, around, outside, northwest, etc. These prepositions are then used when building report sentences. Sources - You can now connect source citations to: This individual never married (individual screen), This couple didn't marry, This couple didn't have children, To Do Items. Note Fields - There are now Font styles buttons allowing you to bold, underline, italicize, and superscript parts of the notes. The changes show in the notes instead of just showing printer codes as in the past. And much more....

    1. have you scheduled your meetings for this fall ?
    2. James L. Rader
    3. as of Aug 2005 Jim Rader is available most evenings and most afternoons except Thursday and Friday Topics currently in demand ------------------------- 1. Genealogy and DNA In this world a genealogist MUST find a man, one she is related to who has the surname being researched. Most Surname Projects start with the objective to identify others who are related. This lecture is designed to help the family researcher understand how to use this tool in her research ! This talk will use the surname Rader as an example , we have established two distinct (meaning unrelated) lines of the Rader family, as well as five unrelated individuals. We will have to wait until more Raders, Roeders, etc. test before we can fill in their lineages. The "Ancestral Signature" is a prediction of what the shared Rader ancestor's genetic result would have been if tested. It is based on the results received thus far, but with small groups it is possible that some of the numbers predicted in the signature could be different. The first line is the R1b. James and Earl Rader match exactly all the way out to 37 markers. You mentioned that you share a common ancestor 7-9 generations ago, depending on who you count back from. The test is supporting that connection, especially since a match at 37 markers means there is a 90% chance you share a common ancestor within 5 generations, 95% within 7 generations. The second group is in haplogroup I. I highlighted any mutational differences from the ancestral signature in pink. There are a relatively low number of differences between these individuals, and it looks like they may share a fairly recent common ancestor. Without additional samples we cannot tell who is more closely related to whom because none of them share the same mutations (unless some of the 25 marker or 37 marker values are shared mutations). As additional people test with us, we will begin to see multiple people with the same mutation, such as another person with a 30 at 389-2, which will connect him more closely to 17292 than to the other Raders of haplogroup I. -------------------------- 2. Stand on the shoulders of previous researchers If you take the time to go through all of those online sources and extract all of the GEDCOM records which contain people which have the surname which you are working on. You can then merge those files together, and end up with the ultimate genealogy book on that surname Now you are ready to add sources particularly how to work with those online US Census sites. Is it good to be a "collector of Genealogies" ------------------------------- 3. Genealogy Software What can a computer program do for your genealogy research? Is Legacy version 6 better than Family Tree Maker 2005.
