I've "rescued" an old photograph album belonging to Euphemia JOHNSON of Williston, ND which includes more than 50 family photographs belonging to the JOHNSON, FERGUSON, RUYLE, SUMMERS, SAILER, BARNETT, and WALKER Families in Williams County, ND; Greene County, IL; and Jasper County, MO; in addition to many other surnames and locations. A list of all the photographs included in the album is as follows: Photograph Album belonging to: Euphemia JOHNSON 605 5th Avenue W, Williston, ND (Based on limited research I do find Euphemia A.

Living with them at the time are 5 children, Mary J. age 13, Euphemia A. age 10, William E. age 7, James L.S. age 5, and Albert age 1. A 28 year old Martha E. JOHNSON is also living with the family and based on her parents birth I believe she is a sister to John R.

Rice Studio in Roodhouse, IL, dated 1887, 20’s (I believe that this may well be a photograph of Catherine RUYLE age 32 the wife of Thomas RUYLE age 35 whose family was recorded during the 1880 census living in Roodhouse, IL with 5 children, Sarah J. age 13, Cyrus A. age 11, Charles E. age 6, Harry age 2, and Thomas age 8 months.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Ig.2ADI/1196 Message Board Post: Web site update 3/14/05 http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/ The Historic Atlas Series has been updated to include township and precinct level atlases from Pennsylvania and Kentucky. By popular request, we are currently digitizing more of these kinds of atlas and map data, and will be adding more in the coming weeks. Kentucky: http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/ky_map/ky_index.html Pennsylvania: http://www.historic-atlas-series.com/pa_map/pa_index.html At the present, atlas CD's are offered from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Missouri, West Virginia and Virginia will be added later this year so please feel free to check back often. The Historic Atlas Series may be an invaluable aid to Genealogists, Historians and researchers in search of 19th century places and place names. Many early property owners are indicated on the township and precinct level maps making these a great resource for identifying 19th century land ownership. Each atlas includes the following 19th century features: * roads, railroads and canals * cities, towns and villages * post offices and government sites * one-room schoolhouses, churches and cemeteries * rivers, streams and ferries * industrial sites, furnaces and mills * early homesteads and farms * land ownership - and much, much more Details on early maps are often difficult to read and these are no exception; however, by virtue of high resolution Adobe PDF formatting, map documents may be inspected at high levels of magnification without additional digital distortion; something that simply cannot be accomplished with paper reproductions and photocopies. The Adobe Acrobat Reader for MS Windows is needed to view, zoom, pan and print from the PDF map images, and is included free on each CD. No other software is necessary. The map data has been created and configured using the Adobe Acrobat Reader (6.0) for MS Windows (98, 98SE, XP, NT and 2000). The maps may be viewed in earlier versions of the software as well; however, optimum use of the data can be expected using the Adobe Reader 6.0 that is included on each CD.

Good Afternoon, This seminar will provide a great opportunity to learn more about our research, ask questions and network with fellow genealogists. Hope to see you there. GENEALOGY SEMINAR, hosted by Michael John Neill. Sunday, April 3 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (Lunch break Noon - 1:00 p.m.) YWCA of Alton, 304 E. Third Street $30 per person includes catered lunch / $20 per person without lunch. Call 618-465-7774 to register, space is limited. Topics Include: Interviewing Grandma and Things in the Attic This lecture will discuss techniques for interviewing relatives, including what kinds of questions to ask, how to ask (and how not to ask) questions, recording the interviewing, and more. The second half of this lecture will discuss a variety of home sources, ranging from photographs to personal papers and how to use these sources to continue your search for family history. Online Search Strategy This lecture will discuss a general online research strategy that is applicable to about just any ancestor and time period. The intent of this session is to provide the researcher with a framework to cut down on wasted online time and make the best use of their resources. Tried and Tested Tidbits Geared to researchers at all levels, this lecture discusses procedures and methods that are easy to forget and that once forgotten can significantly hinder research. Sometimes it is the little things than cause the most difficulty for the family history researcher. This lecture will provide the new researcher with ideas of things to not overlook and remind more experienced researchers of things they might have forgotten. Census Records From 1790-1930, census records are one of the sources most utilized by genealogists. This lecture will provide a summary of what is contained in census records, how to analyze them and the many ways that genealogists can now access these records, ranging from microfilm in a library to websites that bring the data directly to your own home.
