We all have to start somewhere and chances are like myself when you do start you will record everything and believe it to be true. It is only after a few years and the accumulation of a lot of data things start to get "untidy" I started the LAVER ONS after about ten years worth of collecting although this was pre Ancestry. Joining the GOONS changed things considerably and set a higher standard for "getting it right" As stated on earlier posts there are a number of big issues to consider as to what you now do with your data but the best advice I can give is to verify what you have got and assume that there are mistakes. Also "stick with it" you don't say how big the study is but assume another ten years at least.

Neil, There is a very small number of Hartwells in the Irish Censuses of 1901 (1) and 1911 (5-ish). Transcriptions, with digitised images of the individual household returns, freely at http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/ In 1911 all bar 1 individual are English-born, so they may fit into your data somewhere.

Hi, I have a tiny family of HartNells - will you also be including them as I guess there could be some cross over due to poor transcription writing. If I were now starting from scratch I would probably investigate one British census (1851 or 1881) and one from each of the other countries that have censuses available to get an over-view of where there were large groupings of the surname. At the same time collecting 'variations' so you don't have to start again later.

Having finished the cardinal points for St James Pockthorpe in Norwich, with a little prompting from Mary Rix I'm considering doing another parish or two over the next few months. Small problem: many of the parish registers scanned and placed online by FamilySearch finish at or around 1901. Is there anyone out there who might spend an hour or so in the Norfolk Record Office or the Millennium Library, take a file from me complete up to 1901 and then finish the job from fiche or film? If so, please let me know. If you have the time now, you can even do the latest years first! TIA Paul PS Having mentioned Dorset the other week, it occurs to me that the Medway towns might be good meat for similar effort. The wonderful parish records placed online at the CityArk site aren't indexed either. I've spent a good deal of time working through them looking for marriages and suspect others have too. Having cardinal points for that area, even just for one or two parishes in the middle of the alphabetical range, would save a good deal of time for lots of people. If you'd like to do that or another area, I'm sure Mary Rix would love to hear from you. -- Paul Howes www.howesfamilies.com Researching House, Howes, Hows, Howse & Howze worldwide

I would suggest if you have a team, who all use a Family History software package and can produce GEDCOM files, you take a serious look at TNG, it will allow you to let your team have their own tree and upload their own work. This gets rid of the situation where you are constantly trying to keep your own software package up to date with what they have found. So you can put all the Hartwell's under the one umbrella web site. If you want your own domain and hosting package and want recommendations, you will get lots of advice on this Forum Paul 2627 Featherstone's World wide. <http://www.featherstone.org> On 12/11/2014 14:39, Neil Hartwell via wrote: > Hello out there > > I've recently signed up to the Guild, and I've collected a lot of data > (via Ancestry.co.uk) over the past 10 years on UK folk with the surname > Hartwell > > (My colleagues in the USA are even better organised) > > I'd like some ideas on how best to turn this into something of use to > other researchers. > > I'm not particularly keen on retyping details for hundreds of Hartwells > from GED into html > > Ideas and suggestions are welcomed / and any details of notable > Hartwells you may have encountered. > > Regards > > Neil

Hi All, Many thanks to Maria BYATT for pointing me in the right direction which gave me the indexed marriage that I wanted, viz. James MINGAY & E.Griffiths, 1905, New York. Had hoped that the grooms name was going to be James Bloomfield MINGAY but no luck. Just in case you are wondering whats going on:- a James MINGAY was baptised in 1773 at Great Welnetham, Suffolk, England whose mother was Mary MINGAY, it is stated that he was bb but the father is quoted (by oath/sworn statement)to be a George BLOOMFIELD, furthermore there is a marriage allegation made by George BLOOMFIELD & Mary MINGAY in 1773 but so far that marriage has not been found. OK, now we move to New York, USA where we find that the aforementioned James MINGAY, married as above, and had children , Mary, 1807, James B,, 1818 & William H., 1821. (dates of the last two from census returns). James B.MINGAY has two sons Ellwod B. & James B.MINGAY, the frustrating thing about all of this that what the initial B stands for cannot be ascertained. 'Family rumour' has it to be Bloomfield, hence the search for detailed records in New York. I must say that I have found many records for Deaths/Obituaries/Graves/censuses and BUT NONE for births/baptisisms online for New York of any significance, which I find MOST frustrating, so until the right sort of detailed record is found, the B. will have stay B.

I believe a lot of the work to trace relatives in these cases is done by volunteers. For anyone interested more about how this work is done you might like to watch Michelle Leonard's excellent talk from Genetic Genealogy Ireland 2014 on "The Fromelles Genealogy Project: from WW1 Mass Grave to 21st Century Named Grave". http://youtu.be/wpAhtZSIAac Some of the audience were apparently moved to tears. The Fromelles Project are using both Y-DNA and mtDNA.

Welcome to the Guild, Neil, and congratulations on setting up a study profile already! If you already have a GED file and want to share at least some of it online, by all means take a look at TNG or Second Site one of the other means of display. A search of Forum archives will yield lots on the topic. Your question is so wide, though, it almost demands interactivity. Can you get to a Guild seminar or conference, or join in a Google Hangout?

My contribution to this theme is one of some disappintment as my wife narrowly missed out on a TV appearance Some bones were dug up in France a few months ago. There were some ID metal tags around, and researchers analysed DNA from the bones . They then tried to trace living relatives of one soldier – Herbert Ernest Allcock , KIA October 1914. They found the granddaughter of his sister, whose DNA confirmed it was him (a direct MTDNA line, as with Richard III She was invited on TV on “Country File” at the re-burial in France on Sunday among all the centenary commemorations. However, the researchers failed to find my wife, who is the granddaughter of Herbert’s brother – so we missed out! There was an easy Y chromosome DNA ruote available, but the researchers I suppose couldnt find the two obstacles of emigration plus change of name My wife is proud - but sick as a parrot to miss out on the commemoration (though I did yesterday find the other great niece after a short FreeBMD search and phone book and was able to phone her, which was nice) Not helped by the fact that my wife’s Uncle emigrated to Australia and his silly prudish wife insisted on him changing his name from Allcock to Anderson, because of “homonymie fâcheuse” – so they couldn’t find him, though he’s still alive.. Moral : don’t change your name to suit your spouse.

Yes welcome to the Guild Neil. Paul Howes is an excellent person to provide suggestions as his ONS shows just how much you can accomplish and share with the genealogy community and Howes of many variations. The Forum is useful but I would also suggest watching some of the recordings on the Guild YouTube channel. The most recent seminar (kudos Kim Baldacchino & team) was really well done. Members "publish" in a variety of ways and I know many will happily give you some examples. I will be watching this thread to hear some of the ideas and see the links.

Sounds like the first thing you want to do is figure out how you want to organize ( software, numbering systems, etc.) and the probably set up a website where you and the distant researchers can collaborate. The Members room on the Guild website has a lot of help for these areas. If you use the YouTube tab at the top of the page - it will take you to a large collection of videos - one of the most recent is about different websites and what makes a good one. Highly recommended The Bulletin board tab takes you to the Bulletin board where there is a section on different software packages and another on web hosting sites The Wiki has many pages on good practices and helpful tips And there is a publication "the Seven Pillars of Wisdom" that brings it all together. In my case, my satellite researchers don't really want to bother with a website so they send me there information. I use Roots Magic for my main database and excel spreadsheets for collecting raw data. I publish at Tribalpages.com because I am lazy. I work on my main database inputting data from my crew and when I have enough changes, I update my site with a gedcom load - pretty effortless and very cheap. If your group is more hands-on you may want to look at a platform like TNG where they can each handle their own areas. But read and watch some of the Guild material first!!!!
