On page 11 of A Member's Guide to Temple and Family History Work, it states "If you don't know the exact place where an event happened, provide an assumed location, if possible....You may...estimate dates and places if exact information is not available." I use the parents' residence place as the birth place of the children, if there is no other way of documenting the birth place. Prior to the advent of birth registration, there is often no way of documenting a birth place with complete certainty. In the US, a county of birth is sufficient, but a city, town or township is better whenever possible. If you will feel better, you can always preceed the assumed place with "of" as "of Indianapolis, Marion, IN", which clearly establishes that it is an assumed place.

I have a number of people that I know where the family was living at the time of a child's birth but I don't have documentation that the child was born there. Maybe grandmother was in the neighboring town and the baby was born there. I don't know. Is appropriate to put the city where I know the mother was living or should I just put the county and submit only documented information?

The settlement was founded in about 1752. The records contain information regarding births, deaths, marriages, and baptisms. In addition to these vital records there are also minutes and brief histories of ministers and select families of the community. The complete records have been microfilmed by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and are located in Salt Lake City, Utah, and by the Georgia State Archives, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Thanks so much for reissueing the SSN Numbering Scheme. Its going to be a big help Beatrice

There seems to be some misunderstanding that one has to own Family Tree Maker to use this site. That is not the case, I don't own FTM and I use this procedure all the time. So for those that ignored this because of the misundering, I am posting this aid again. To find out if a surname or person you are looking for is on a particular FTM CD, go to this site. You do NOT have to be an owner of FTM. http://www.familytreemaker.com/iffintro.html Read the intro, then click on "Try Internet Family Finder Now." Type in the name of interest and in the "Search On" section, unmark all choices except "Family Archive CDs - More than 130 in the Collection!", then click on search. If you don't find what you are looking for, then try again under alternate spellings. Once you have found an entry of interest in the index, then to get free lookups in the CD-ROMS, and the additional details show therein, go to this internet site: http://web.mountain.net/~wfmoney/cd/ They do have a limit of one CD and two names per CD per day. They usually respond within 1-2 days and the service is free.

Pam, I think this is great. I so the notice on this bulletin board. Thank you. Our director has not said anything about it. We will attend and I will find out tonight which building it will be in. Thanks Gen-rooters. Kris

Sorry but I missed a letter - try http://members.tripod.com/~GrannyGrump/cdlist.html Should have been GrannyGrump - NOT GrannyGump Let me know if you still have problems. Carol

The SSN Numbering Scheme 000-00-0000 The nine-digit SSN is composed of three parts: The first set of three digits is called the Area Number The second set of two digits is called the Group Number The final set of four digits is the Serial Number The Area Number is assigned based on the geographical region in which the person resided at the time the social security number was issued. Generally, numbers were assigned beginning in the northeast and moving westward. So people on the East Coast have the lowest numbers and those on the West Coast have the highest numbers. (See the list of the geographical number assignments.) The remaining six digits in the number are more or less randomly assigned and were organized to facilitate the early manual bookkeeping operations associated with the creation of Social Security in the 1930s. They have no significance beyond these internal bookkeeping procedures. Social Security Numbers by Geographic Region 000-00-9999 001-003 New Hampshire 004-007 Maine 008-009 Vermont 010-034 Massachusetts 035-039 Rhode Island 040-049 Connecticut 050-134 New York 135-158 New Jersey 159-211 Pennsylvania 212-220 Maryland 221-222 Delaware 223-231 Virginia 232-236 West Virginia 232, 237-246 North Carolina 247-251 South Carolina 252-260 Georgia 261-267 Florida 268-302 Ohio 303-317 Indiana 318-361 Illinois 362-386 Michigan 387-399 Wisconsin 400-407 Kentucky 408-415 Tennessee 416-424 Alabama 425-428 Mississippi 429-432 Arkansas 433-439 Louisiana 440-448 Oklahoma 449-467 Texas 468-477 Minnesota 478-485 Iowa 486-500 Missouri 501-502 North Dakota 503-504 South Dakota 505-508 Nebraska 509-515 Kansas 516-517 Montana 518-519 Idaho 520 Wyoming 521-52 Colorado 525 New Mexico 526-527 Arizona 528-529 Utah 530 Nevada 531-539 Washington 540-544 Oregon 545-573 California 574 Alaska 575-576 Hawaii 577-579 District of Columbia 580 Virgin Islands 580-584 Puerto Rico 585 New Mexico 586 Guam 586 American Samoa 586 Philippine Islands 586 Northern Mariana Islands 587-588 Mississippi 589-595 Florida 596-599 Puerto Rico 600-601 Arizona 602-626 California 627-645 Texas 646-647 Utah 648-649 New Mexico 650-653 Wisconsin 700-728 Railroad Retirement Board 750-751 Hawaii 752-755 Mississippi 756-763 Tennessee Note: Some numbers are shown more than once because they have either been transferred from one State to another or divided for use among certain geographic locations. -------------------------------------------------------------------- John D.

Try this. I just used it and it works. Good luck. Linda http://members.tripod.com/~GrannyGrump/cdlist.html

Can anyone tell me what "digitized" means, regarding the broadcast of the FH training? Does that mean "scrambled"? When we couldn't get the RS broadcast on our satellite, we called SLC and were told that members who had the "old" big satellite dishes would only be able to get conference sessions from now on, other fireside broadcasts would be sent on a new church wavelength that only those in chapels would be able to "unscramble." Does anyone know if we will be able to see the FH training at home??? Thanks, Sherrie Wieland swieland@jeffnet.org

I couldn't fine it either. It just took me to another site.
