    1. [GENEALOGYBITSANDPIECES] The Year Was 1852
    2. Sally Rolls Pavia
    3. The year was 1852 and it marked the beginning of the Second French Empire, with Napoleon Bonaparte's nephew, Louis-Napoleon (Napoleon III) ruling as Emperor. The Second Empire would last until, following the Franco- Prussian War, there was an uprising in Paris and the government of Napoleon III was overthrown. One of the new empire's creations of 1852 was the infamous prison in French Guiana known as "Devil's Island." French Guiana was brutal territory and some of the previous attempts at settlement proved disastrous in the hostile environment. In 1852, Napoleon began deporting political prisoners to the newly formed penal colony and between 1852 and 1946 when the penal camp was closed, more than 56,000 prisoners were sent there. Prisoners were forced into hard labor in horrific conditions in timber camps, so brutal that many attempted dangerous escapes. Most of the penal camps were actually on the mainland, but other than a dangerous sea escape, the only escape routes through the mainland were fraught with peril. A popular route to Dutch Guiana meant crossing the piranha-infested Moroni River and then through a dense jungle through which there was one road. Devil's Island is perhaps best known now through the movie "Papillon," which was based on the book by Henri Charriere, who managed to escape the prison after several attempts. In the United States, movement was decidedly westward. According to "Oregon Trail Statistics," by William E. Hill, immigration hit an all-time high on the Oregon Trail with around 10,000 people making the overland trip. With people still flocking to California in search of gold, every available means of transportation was employed and many chose to make the trip by sea, rather than face the long trek across the United States. But the voyage by sea had its perils as well. The sea voyage could mean a trip around Cape Horn, where ships were tossed in turbulent, windy waters, and iceberg inhabited waters, often being blown near Antarctica. Skilled captains might be able to shorten the trip by traveling the Straits of Magellan, a sea passage around the tip of South America, but this too was considered a dangerous trip, because the narrowness of the passage at certain points made it difficult to navigate. The trip could take up to eight months and onboard conditions were horrid. Food spoiled quickly with the heat of the equator, and worms and rodents got into whatever supplies they had. A shorter trip took passengers to Panama where they embarked on canoes to navigate the Chagres River. From there things were more difficult as the remainder of the passage to the Pacific meant a fifty-mile hike through the Panamanian jungle where some fell prey to cholera, malaria, and yellow fever Those who survived this leg of the journey often arrived in Panama City to find a shortage of ships, which meant that they would have to wait, sometimes for weeks, to obtain passage on a northbound ship to California. There was also an influx of immigrants into California from China at this time. The Chinese population of California was three (two men and a woman), but by 1852 an article in the "Daily Alta California" estimated the Chinese population to be at around 12,000. The Chinese weren't welcomed in a land where the gold fields weren't producing the riches expected and where the industrious Chinese were seen as a threat. For more on the journey westward, there are many great websites, some with narratives by those who made the trek. Here are a few I found: Oregon Trail Diaries 1852 Oregon Trail Emigrants Gold Rush Chronology 1852-54 Gold Rush Links Chinese in California California Gold Rush ("Sacramento Bee" website) 1852 also marked the publication of Harriet Beecher Stowe's famous book, Uncle Tom's Cabin. The book was an anti-slavery statement which she later revealed was largely based on the memoirs of Rev. Josiah Henson. Originally produced in serial format, Uncle Tom's Cabin was a sensation and by 1857 had sold half a million copies in the United States--breaking book sales records for that time and stirring

    1. [GENEALOGYBITSANDPIECES] Find Northern NY Ancestors in Free News Database
    2. Sally Rolls Pavia
    3. Find Northern NY Ancestors in Free News Database Posted by Diane Did your ancestors live in New York’s Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Jefferson, Lewis, Oswego or St. Lawrence counties? Yes? You’ll want to search the Northern New York Library Network’s free Northern New York Historical Newspapers database, at http://news.nnyln.net/ There, access 910,000 digitized pages from 27 newspapers printed mostly during the 1800s and 1900s. The Plattsburgh Republican is the earliest paper featured, with the coverage starting in 1811; Clarkston Integrator issues range from 1920 all the way up to last year. You can’t search all the papers at once, so click a title from the list, then type your search terms into the box on the left. Narrow your search by putting phrases in quotation marks ("Harold smith") and use Boolean tools (such as a minus sign to exclude a word, as in lake –placid). See the How to Search page for more tips, and Frequently Asked Questions for a trick to limiting searches by issue date. Matches show sentence fragments containing your search term, so it can be a bit hard to tell whether a result is relevant. Just click on a match to download a PDF of that newspaper page. You can zoom in, but your search term isn’t highlighted, so get ready for some reading.

    1. [GENEALOGYBITSANDPIECES] Google Tips for Genealogy: Spelling
    2. Sally Rolls Pavia
    3. When you use Google you are searching an index of web pages found on the Internet. Keep in mind who publishes those web pages: fellow genealogists, cousins . . .human beings. Are human beings consistent with spelling? Nope. Do human beings make mistakes? You bet. Does every human being use his or her spell-checker? I wish. Variant Spellings, Misspellings, and Typos: When searching on names we have learned (or are learning) to look for all variant spellings of given names, surnames, and place names. For example, when looking for Anderson you should also look for Andersen, Andersson, Anderssen, and possibly just Anders, etc. The same goes for keywords or phrases that you might use in a search. So, when looking for one word/phrase also look for misspellings or typos for that word, such as: genealogy --> geneology, geneaology, genology ancestry --> ancestory family history --> family histroy cemetery --> cemetary Other Languages: Remember to use words and phrases from languages other than your own, particularly those from the country of origin for your ancestors. If you are looking for your Swedish ancestor use Swedish words in your searches. For example, use translation software or tools like the FamilySearch word lists to locate the Swedish words for birth (födda, födde, född, födelse), burial (begravning), wife (hustru, maka), etc. Build Your Queries: You need to build a series of possible search queries based on various spellings, words, and phrases. The queries can be stored in a document on your computer and used over and over again each time you sit down to Google your ancestors. Just copy and paste them when you are ready to search. So, using my previous (simple) Peter Johnson example, I would start to build a series of several queries like this: genealogy peter Johnson Iowa Sweden geneology peter Johnson Iowa Sweden geneaology peter Johnson Iowa Sweden genology peter Johnson Iowa Sweden "family history" peter Johnson Iowa Sweden "family histroy" peter Johnson Iowa Sweden "family tree" peter Johnson Iowa Sweden ancestry peter Johnson Iowa Sweden ancestory peter Johnson Iowa Sweden genealogy peter johnsen Iowa Sweden geneology peter johnsen Iowa Sweden geneaology peter johnsen Iowa Sweden genology peter johnsen Iowa Sweden "family history" peter johnsen Iowa Sweden "family histroy" peter johnsen Iowa Sweden "family tree" peter johnsen Iowa Sweden ancestry peter johnsen Iowa Sweden ancestory peter johnsen Iowa Sweden As you can see above it would be possible to come up with dozens of variant queries to try out based on combinations of misspellings, typos, and more.

    1. [GENEALOGYBITSANDPIECES] Cyndi's List .. Her Latest Blog
    2. Sally Rolls Pavia
    3. Wanted Dead, But Not Live (for the most part) At what point did it become acceptable to pass off live people-finding search services as "genealogy" and "family tree" resources? I'm thinking it is mostly an Internet phenomenon. I'm talking about web sites on which you look for living people through searches in databases with things like phone books, reverse phone directories, address directories, directories of names of living people, criminal background checks, court records, utility records property records, etc. Yes, genealogists and family historians with any level of experience or expertise enjoy meeting cousins and finding long-lost family members to help fill out branches on the family tree. Especially when they are also interested in genealogy and can shed light on an ancestor. But, searching for live people isn't the main purpose or objective in family history, is it? Aren't we looking backward, generation by generation, to figure out who and where we came from? Or am I alone in thinking that is why we are all in this obsessed hobby? A quick look at a dictionary for definitions of the word genealogy: a record or account of the ancestry and descent of a person, family, group, etc.; a record or table of the descent of a person, family, or group from an ancestor or ancestors; a family tree. the study of family ancestries and histories; the study or investigation of ancestry and family histories. descent from an original form or progenitor; lineage; ancestry; direct descent from an ancestor; lineage or pedigree. That has always been my view of genealogy. I do document the cousins and their children as I find them, but I don't go actively searching them in online resources. It is hard enough to find time (and money) to look for the dead ancestors, much less the thousands of live cousins spread around the world. I started this thread tonight after receiving a new link submission from a site labeled as genealogy and described this way: "Find help for building your family tree and finding lost ancestors." However, it only had a search form and links that point to databases for finding living people, such as those I described in my first paragraph above. This isn't the first time I ve received such link submissions. And it isn't the first time I've wondered about these types of sites. Why do the owners and/or visitors of these sites consider this genealogy? I worry that people who are new to genealogy will waste their time, money, and energy on sites like these before they learn where to really begin with their research. I worry that the descriptions on sites like this mislead people. It bothers me. I work hard to help people get pointed in the right directions in their research. I don't ever want to lead them astray with misleading links. All that said, I do have a Finding People category on Cyndi's List where I link to individual phone books, people-finding services, etc. for those people who are looking for a living cousin. But that is only 191 links out of more than 260,000 total. And the links point to web sites that are all titled and labeled for what they are and what they do. None of them claim to be genealogy when they aren't.

    1. [GENEALOGYBITSANDPIECES] Research Suggestions
    2. Sally Rolls Pavia
    3. This came from Rootsweb Review this week. It gives a lot of good suggestions for doing genealogical research. A Genealogist's New Year's Resolutions by Joan Young joan@volunteer.rootsweb.com You've probably made the usual New Year's resolutions in the past. You know--the ones about eating less and losing weight, exercising more, cleaning out the attic and garage. If you are like most of us, those resolutions are soon broken or forgotten--until a new year rolls around again. This year, give some thought to resolutions you could make for the New Year (one's that might be easier to keep than the above) that would help you to progress in your genealogical research. I have a list of genealogical resolutions I'm going to make for the New Year; perhaps you would like to adopt one or more of them for yourself. DOCUMENT YOUR SOURCES At the top of my list is being more meticulous about documenting where I found information--always listing a source for each event I've found and listing what records I've used to reach my conclusions. Your source is where you learned your information. It might be a birth certificate, tombstone inscription, information your grand-aunt Susannah told you, or even Sally JONES's research files. Don't list a document as your source if you didn't actually see the document. If Mary SMITH told you she saw a document, then Mary SMITH is your source unless or until you also see the document. Documenting sources and then sitting back and reviewing them can help you determine whether your sources are good ones that you can readily accept, or whether you might want to dig a bit deeper for more reliable documentation. Mary SMITH may be an excellent researcher but if you have taken her word for the evidence you might want to obtain the original document she claims to have seen. You might find something in the document that Mary overlooked. RECORD NEGATIVE RESULTS If you have searched the local newspapers looking for an obituary for Uncle Harry or checked the local cemetery records where you think he might have been buried, and you have come up empty-handed, make sure you record the fact that you have searched these resources and list the date on which you performed your search. This is an error I made in my early days of research and I can tell you it has led me to repeat searches unnecessarily in the future, in places I've already looked. Of course, recording the date you did your search is important as you might later find that new records have been discovered for the cemetery you previously searched. REVISIT DEAD-ENDS If you have been researching for any length of time, you have probably come to a dead-end on one or more of your ancestral lines. Among my brick walls is my Irish MCCONNELL line, mostly because I have been unable to ascertain where they lived in Ireland before immigrating to America. The New Year is an excellent time to pull out all of the information you have gathered--clues and hints and family stories, and also the leads you eventually ruled out. Revisit the research with a fresh look. Also take into consideration that new information may have become available online that was not there when you last checked. Don't forget to search the archives of the RootsWeb mailing lists and message boards as well as look for new Web pages and family trees that have been posted by others since you last looked. http://archiver.rootsweb.com http://boards.rootsweb.com http://wc.rootsweb.com CHECK OFF-SHOOTS OF YOUR BRICK WALLS When you reach a dead-end, sometimes the best approach is to try to "move sideways" rather than back another generation. By this I mean you might want to attempt to learn more about the dead-end ancestor's spouse's family or the ancestor's siblings. You might be able to learn information about these other people connected to your ancestor. And through that research you may, in turn, learn about your ancestor. In one instance in my research I was unsuccessful in obtaining a death certificate for my ancestor, but I was able to find one for his brother and their parents' names were listed on his certificate. In another case, I found the tombstone for my ancestor's brother and later learned my ancestor was buried in the same cemetery. By searching for a spouse or sibling's family you might also find another researcher studying that family who holds the information you need. CLEAN OUT THE ATTIC Yes, I know, you vowed in other years to clean out the attic and never got around to it; but maybe you haven't thought of that chore in light of your genealogical research. If you (or your grandma) has an attic in need of attention, it could turn out to be a family history goldmine rather than just a place where "junk" is gathering dust. Consider making that resolution again and this time sticking to it and following through. You might be surprised at the treasures you find. SHARE WHAT YOU LEARN Share with others when you do make new discoveries and you will find that others will be willing to share with you. The greatest resource in genealogical research is other people interested in the same families. Remember that RootsWeb provides the resources where you can meet and share information with newfound cousins. http://searches.rootsweb.com/share.html ***************************** Sally Rolls Pavia sallypavia2001@yahoo.com List Owner: GENEALOGYBITSANDPIECES-L-request@rootsweb.com Archives: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/GENEALOGYBITSANDPIECES "All incoming and outgoing email checked by Norton Anti-Virus"

    3. If you have an interest in history, especially history in and around the city of Boston in 1775, you will enjoy J. L. Bell's writings in "Boston 1775 " The web site contains "history, analysis, and unabashed gossip about the start of the American Revolution in Massachusetts." Bell writes in a manner that shows the true daily life in and around Boston in the early days of the American Revolution. He also gives special insights into the motivations of many of the leaders of the day, both the Loyalists and the Revolutionaries. Recent articles include: Colonial Boston Vocabulary: "caucus" Did the Union Flag Disappoint Boston’s Loyalists? The Great Union Flag and the Boston Gentry King George Addresses the “Unhappy and Deluded Multitude” J. L. Bell is a Massachusetts writer who is an expert in the events surrounding the Boston Massacre and the start of the American Revolution. He is particularly interested in the experiences of children in 1765-75. He has published scholarly papers and popular articles for both children and adults He was consultant for an episode of History Detectives, and contributed to a display at Minute Man National Historic Park. If you like to read about Boston history, you'll probably spend hours reading the various stories in the local history buff's haven, "Boston 1775," at http://boston1775.blogspot.com.

    1. [GENEALOGYBITSANDPIECES] Recording Longitudes and Latitudes .. From Dick Eastman's Online Newsletter
    2. Sally Rolls Pavia
    3. Genealogists have always been taught to record our sources of information. We not only record the name of the book or other source of genealogy information, but we also record the location of the building (repository) where we found it. Typically we record the building's name, street address, city and state. With today's technology, shouldn't we also be recording the geographic coordinates? With GPS receivers and the plethora of high-quality on-line maps, it is now easy to find the exact latitude and longitude of any address Unlike street names, the longitude and latitude will never change. I have written about finding cemeteries and other locations of genealogical interest by using GPS receivers. Shouldn't we be recording the exact latitude and longitudes of those cemeteries into our genealogy databases? Perhaps the cemetery's location alone isn't enough. Should we record the exact location of the ancestor's tombstone. How about the location of great-great-grandfather's farm? I believe the latitude and longitude of that farm would be a valuable entry in your database so that future genealogists who have access to your data can find that farm's location, even if it has since become covered with weeds or perhaps become a high-rise apartment building. In short, I think we should record the geographic coordinates of every location in our genealogy databases. You can enter the latitude and longitude of any location as a text note into most any modern genealogy program. However, several of the better genealogy programs have specific database fields for these coordinates. If you own a GPS receiver, the next time you visit an ancestral site of any sort, you should record its geographic coordinates into your database. You can also find similar information by consulting topographic maps.
