(SF Examiner 2/2/99) Climbing the family tree will take a lot less clawing as soon as a nonprofit foundation finishes a more than $15 million project to post Ellis Island immigration records on the internet. By helping people to access information instantly that previously was buried in a bureaucratic quagmire, the project will revolutionize genealogicial research for many of the more than 113 million Americans who already actively pursue their family histories. Officials at the Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation in NY, the same organization that gave Lady Liberty a face lift in 1986 without any public funding, estimate that more than 40% of Americans can trace their European ancestry back to Ellis Island. "This is going to be a reference point", said Vern Deubler, Pres. of the Calif. Genealogical Society, which was based in San Francisco for a century before moving to Oakland this year. "It's going to provide people with very important leads". By the end of next year, the foundation hopes, people will be able to enter any information they know about a progenitor and the program will search more than 20 million records for a match. The software will even be able to tolerate misspellings. If a match is found, the researcher can choose to print out a photo of the ship and a copy of the original manifesto that marked the immigrant's arrival. At Fisherman's Wharf on Monday, Stephen Briganti, Chairman of the foundation, said the new database would especially help Bay Area researchers. He said the Bay Area remains one of the major hubs for Eliis Island immigrants and their descendants. Tens of thousands of immigrants came here after arriving through the port, first to fuel the Industrial revolution and later to farm wine grapes. He said first generation travelers from the main Ellis Island years - 1892 to 1924 - still live in the area. Briganti added that Californians' interest in Ellis Island immigration research, based on requests for the foundation's resources, is outstripped only by New yorkers'. The database - which organizers say could be ready by the end of 2000 - will catalog records of almost 20 million immigrants who flooded the tiny NY Harbor island. Until now, those documents have been stored at the National Archives and Immigration and Naturalization Service in the clunky microfilm format. The first phase of the project was to collect and digitize records and install computers at the museum. Now, Briganti said, putting the information on the Internet has become a top goal as well. "We're pretty confident this is going to work," Briganti said. "It's not perfect, but it's light years ahead of going to the Archives." A demonstration of the system showed that a reseacher can enter information in any or all of 11 fields, which ask for personal information such as the subject's name and country of birth, and immigration, like the subject's port of entry. Foundation spokeswoman Peg Zitko said the project got off the ground when a nationwide network of Mormon volunteers agreed to digitize the microfilm information for free. Thousands of volunteers have logged more than 2 million hours; they've entered 3/5's of the data so far. A spokesman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City said the project was important to the church's mission. "We've always been involved in genealogy," said Dan Rascon, "because linking to our family helps us understand who we are and what we may become." Information on the project may be found at www.ellisisland.org on the internet. (And I just want you all to know that I typed this, not scanned, so I hope I get some appreciation out there!!!!!!!!

Elaine Hasleton, a public affairs representative from the Family History Center in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, said the Web site is in its developmental stages. The project is underway, however Hasleton said no set completion date has been given. The ancestral files of the LDS Church will most likely be accessible from the site, said Craig Foster, a spokesman for the family history center's public affairs projects. Foster said the details of what other files and information will be accessible from the site is not final. "We are all excited about the future for family history," said Jana Darrington, 21, a senior from Mesa, Ariz., majoring in family history. "Making a Web site for family history seems like a logical thing for the LDS Church to do ... It would be a dream to be able to work out of my home. I can work for as long as I want, whenever I want." -- Lynda Cameron, Provo, regular HBLL Family History Center patron As the department assistant for the Harold B. Lee Library's family history department, Darrington said many people have asked about the possibility of family history files going online. "This will make things much more available for the patrons and make genealogy work widely known," she said. Darrington expects the number of people going to family history centers to naturally decline once the files become available from home. "But I'm sure the elderly who don't feel comfortable using the Internet will still make use of the facilities," Darrington said. Lynda Cameron of Provo visits the HBLL Family History Center at least once a week, sometimes more. "Making a Web site for family history seems like a logical thing for the LDS Church to do," Cameron said. Cameron is originally from Australia, where her father, Keith Williams, still resides. She said they are both working on genealogy for their family continents apart. "This will really open information up for my father and make things more available for everyone," Cameron said. "It would be a dream to be able to work out of my home. I can work for as long as I want, whenever I want." Darrington also mentioned that this new project with family history will introduce many non-members to the LDS Church. "There are many people who work on family history that are not Mormon," she said. Many of them already use LDS family history departments, and with the future Web site many more will become familiar with the LDS Church, Darrington said.

Hello, I am new to the list. My ancestors are found in the 1870 Schuyler County Census in Camden Twp. on page 24 & 25 in Wayland Post Office area and they are family #182. The census page date is 23 July 1870. Creed S. Taylor 37 Mary A. Taylor 34 Theodore Taylor 19 Pardee Taylor 15 Fremont Taylor 13 Adda L. Taylor 3 Orrin Clark Taylor 5/12 Creed S. Taylor served in Civil War 50th Illinois Infantry Co. H The family lived in Ripley, Brown County, Illinois for many years before coming to Schuyler. I am looking for a marriage of Pardee F. Taylor or P.F. Taylor in Schuyler County between 1873 to 1877. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Sam Taylor Email: staylor@micron.net

Dear Kathleen, Thank you most kindly for your response regarding my RICHMOND/TALLEY query. I can understand the first two sources being on the list, but the third puzzles me a bit. Does McDonough County hold some Schuyler County records, or is it that Ms. Miller holds a personal interest in local area history?

This message is for Dixie Davis. Thanks to helpful people like you, the rest of us rec eive so much good research information like the list of old medical definitions you sent to the ILSchuyler list. Keep up the good work. Joan

Seek information on three persons with Schuyler County connections. America RICHMOND died 14 June 1858 in or near Rushville. She was the wife of Dr. John P. Richmond. Dr. Richmond represented Schuyler County for several terms in the IL State Senate and Assembly during the period 1848 to 1852 and 1854 to 1862. I would like to know if there is any record of where she was buried and if (and when) her obituary was printed in any local newspapers. The other two persons of interest are her daughters from a previous marriage, Martha A. TALLEY (born c1832) and Harriett TALLEY (born c1834). They were both listed in Dr. Richmond's household in the 1850 census for Rushville, and Harriet only was listed in his household in the 1860 census. In the 1850 census Martha is listed as being "Idiotic." I have no idea what became of either girl. It is possible one or both died in Schuyler County and are buried next to their mother. Or, it is possible one of both married in Schuyler County. I would like to know if there is any Schuyler County marriage, death, burial, or obituary record for either girl. All three of these persons accompanied Dr. Richmond to the Oregon Country in 1839, where Dr. Richmond was a Methodist missionary at the Nisqually Mission, near present day Olympia, WA. They returned to Illinois in 1843. Any information or suggestions will be most appreciated. Sincerely, Dave Axe Chairman, Historical Research Committee for the Preservation of the Nisqually Mission Historical Site ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

JULIA ANN ASHWOOD Julia Ann Harding was born in New York City, June 7, 1826, and died at Ray {Schuyler County}, Illinois, April 14, 1913, aged 88 years, 10 months, 7 days. The deceased came with her parents to the state of Illinois when she was about 13 years of age. They came as far as Ohio, and overland the remained of the trip, and because of the heavily loaded wagons, she walked most of the way. They settled on a large tract of land near Clayton, Adams County, and the deceased remained with the parents until she was married to Joseph Ashwood, December 9, 1848. They purchased apart of the original tract of land and lived there until 1867 or 1868 and moved in Browning Township where they resided until the death of the husband and father which occurred August 24, 1897. There were seven children, seven sons and two daughters, Sarah died who's about two years old, and Thomas died March 21, 1910, being the oldest of the children. The remaining children four sons and one daughter were all in attendance at the funeral. There are 19 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. Deceased was converted in early life. The joy of the Lord came to her heart as she was entering the ground of a camp meeting. She with her husband, united with the Methodist Church a great many years ago. Their home was the home of all truly evangelical ministers. It could be said of them that they were given to hospitality. Their Christian influence and deeds of kindness was felt far and wide in the community, the poor and needy always found in them a source of help and sympathy. And their Christian imprint was made upon their own family, all of whom are Christians and living in hope of meeting the beloved parents who so devotedly gave their lives to this end. Doubtless many will rise in the resurrection and call them blessed. The last illness of Mother Ashwood was at the home of her son John, in Ray. She came on a visit to see her brother, John R. Harding, who was ill at that time and died the following October. She took sick while on the visit and haggared for nearly a year when the messenger called her from her sufferings to her reward. She was unable to speak after last Thursday, but on Sunday evening the children gathered about her bed and sang some of the old hymns. She opened her eyes and her son, John asked her if all was well to raise her hand, and with the rallying strength she had left she lifted her hand, thus signifying her full preparation to meet the Lord. May peace be to her slumbering ashes till the morning of the resurrection shall came forth the sleeping dust and the power of Christ shall change the earthly to the immortal. Funeral services were held Tuesday at 11 o'clock at the home of her son, John Ashwood, in Ray, conducted by Rev. F. L. Hall, of Greenville, Illinois, assisted by Rev. T. A.
