Last night, at the meeting of the South Central KY Historical and Genealogical Society meeting, I spoke on the topic of "It's All About You." Several on the list have asked if I could share the program with the lists and I've decided to do it. Now - it won't be exactly the same as last night's presentation. I seldom work with notes and I toss in some extra things that won't be shown here. But this is the essence of what I spoke about and hope it inspires you to do what I suggested to the members and guests last night. IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU! I want to start by telling you a story. Many years ago, my husband and I went to Chicago to visit my husband’s great Aunt Veta. She was then quite elderly and the unofficial head of the family; she died at age 102/ She wanted to see our new baby. She for many years, a widow, had a dear friend her age who shared their home; a Miss Marx. She was a delightful woman and, being new in genealogy, I turned the conversation that direction. Miss Marx picked up a large stack of papers and tossed them into the fireplace. She sat down with tears in her eyes and said “that was my family history, my family tree. I am the last of the family. I have no one who cares about the family, no children, no living brothers or sisters and no one would be interested in the Marx family.” I about bawled. Though she was no kin, it was still heart breaking that all of her history was going up in smoke. In the 1880s and 1890s, a man named Perrin and others realized the significance of recording people’s biographies – and a way to make money! He with his assistant editors traveled over most of Kentucky and into other nearby states. Advertising, I assume, he urged people to be recorded in history by having a biography published about themselves. There was, of course, a charge. The more money the individual would be willing to pay, the larger the biography. The problem was … the editors did not check out the information. Whatever they were told, they printed, likely with a grammatical improvement here or there. As genealogists, we are always on the look-out for a biography on one of our ancestors! In the whole, these biographies were accurate. But, given the opportunity to “tell the world” about oneself, there were errors. These could be caused by a faulty memory, inaccurate records and a desire to make oneself more important than he was! A plain house or cabin could turn into a “mansion place”; the land full of weeds could be referred to as “one of the best improved land in the area”, and the individual’s accomplishment in life over-blown. But, we can take that biography and check it against other records and get a good idea of the individual. Parents, grandparents and often farther back, were normally shown; the wife’s lineage, military involvement, children’s names, their spouse, etc. So, tonight, I’d like to talk to you for a time about you. YOU have a story. That story needs to be preserved and it will be much more accurate than the biographies of the past. More than just lineages, which can be included of course, we are looking at just YOU. Now not many of us will ever be famous. We are just people. Farmers, secretaries, mothers, fathers, clerks, blue collar workers, white collar workers. We have not found the cure for cancer or figured out how to bring peace to the world. Millions of people will never hear of us; we’ll never be written up in the Who’s Who of the world. We live, we work, we die. But, people will know more than what is usually shown in our family trees - we were born, we married, we died - and in between times we begat! But, all of us have lived lives filled with happiness, grief, accomplishment. Many of us have lived before their was television, IPods, computers, jet plane travel, microwave ovens, space travel, air conditioning, supermarkets, 3D movies and so much more. We have lived through World War II, the Korean Conflict, Vietnam, Desert Storm and the current battles in Iraq and Afghanistan. You need to write down YOUR story. If you are married, do this for your children or grandchildren. If you are single or widowed, do it for other family members. But, most of all, DO IT FOR YOURSELF! What is history anyway? We speak of the South Central KY HISTORICAL and Genealogical Society. History is one minute ago. History for each of us began the day we were born; it is not reserved for the rich and the famous. We are making history every day of our lives. Our very existence changed the world. When God gave us our very first breath, we became an influence on history in our part of the world. I was thinking the other day about my history. Loving both history and genealogy, many years ago my aunt Jean (who taught me genealogy in one phone call) and I wanted to record my grandfather’s history. He died in his 90’s and kept saying he never did anything important. But Jean left him with a tape recorder and taught him how to use it. A few weeks later, Jean stopped by to see my grandfather and he had filled an entire tape. I still cry when I hear it – he told of my mother almost dying at birth and having to sell his best cow to buy her a special formula. He told of working in the coal mines of southern Illinois and sang some of the old mining songs. He talked of my beloved grandmother who died when I was nine years old and their early years of marriage crop sharing. This gave me an idea. While my mother was still able to see and write well, I asked her to write down her memories, her oral history. She didn’t protest as much and hand wrote about 20 pages of her life and my father’s – their early marriage, coming out of the Great Depression, the struggling years, the loss of my baby brother before I was born. Then my father. He didn’t want to share that much but told of the tornado that hit the one-room school house he attended, killing his best friend. He told of his mother getting TB and of neighbors kicking in and raising him and his five sisters. He told of the death of his father when he was a young boy in a freak accident in a corn silo. That left me. I have kept a diary since my oldest daughter was born in 1974. But my memories go back to my age 3. I typed up about 50 pages of my life, my accomplishments, my failures. There are copies of this on cd for both of my girls. Someday they will laugh and cry at the things I have done, my disappointments, my goals. They share my blood and my DNA and they care. So – let’s go to YOU. Have you written down your own story? It might be a continual thing as one memory will lead to another. You will likely find yourself adding to it as you go along. Many memories fade as we age and we need to capture now before even more fade. To be continued next week.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (June 22, 2011) - The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) will host a free Family History Workshop at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, July 9 at the Thomas D. Clark Center for Kentucky History in downtown Frankfort. At 10:30 a.m. a panel discussion entitled "Genealogy Brick Walls" begins with Deborah Campisano, Roger Futrell, Valerie Edgeworth and Betty Darnell. These experienced genealogists will describe how they have resolved difficult family history research hurdles and recommend strategies to help get beyond what appear to be genealogical "dead ends." At 12:30 p.m. Deborah Campisano discusses the genealogical proof standard. Genealogical problems arise when historical records either do not exist or do not directly support a clear conclusion. Learn about the accepted standards of evidence that must be met when trying to draw a conclusion, prove a relationship or discriminate between what information is credible and what is not. Presented by KHS and KGS, the free family history workshop series takes place each month at the Center for Kentucky History. Topics range from how to begin documenting your ancestry to specialized resources for experienced genealogists. If requested at the time of registration, an optional light lunch is available at a cost of $6, payable at the door. To make a reservation, contact the KHS Reference Desk at 502-564-1792 or <mailto:[email protected]>[email protected] The registration deadline for the July workshop is noon on Friday, July 8.

A newspaper column by the late Bobby White, 1983. August 1883 - 100 years ago: During the week of the County fair, Mr. KENLICK, of Pennsylvania, will be here in search of stylish geldings, provided as many as ten can be assured him. I will be in Glasgow until after that date and would be glad to put in shape horses of any one who wishes to sell to him. Jim OWSLEY. Mr. T. H. SMITH, salesman for the well-known piano and organ house of D. H. BALDWIN & Co. of Louisville, is in this country and will remain here for some time. All citizens who are contemplating purchasing a piano or organ would do well to confer with Mr. Smith, as he will not be undersold. I have several "Fruit Evaporators" on hand which I will dispense of on easy terms and at a bargain price. James T. BARBEE. Don't forget that PACE & Co., Glasgow, represents the Old Hickory wagon, South Bend Chilled plow, and other good farming implements. Mrs. J. NAHM, of Hiseville, will leave for New York Thursday to visit her sisters. Mrs. Nahm has not before seen her sisters for thirty-five years. Mrs. Eliza WILLIAMS, of the Slick Rock country, exhibited her home, last week, some beautiful silk specimens manufactured by herself. Mrs. Williams has gone sharply into the silk business, but disposes of the most of her stock in the egg state, as she finds that most profitable. She is the first land in these parts to successfully raise silk worms. Twenty-two scholars for the Glasgow Normal School were secured by Prof. F. McBATH during a recent tour of East Tennessee, and a large increase is promised in attendance at Liberty College. These schools were never better in condition or shape that at present. One day last week, the knives of one of Hamlete & Vaughn's planer broke off while at work. A piece of the machinery struck Wes DAVIS across the legs inflicting wounds which incapacitated him from a continuance of work for awhile. No serious damage was done. Mrs. Bartley STINNETT, of the Skagg's Creek country, lost a little daughter with flux last Saturday. Mrs. Stinnett is also very dangerously ill with the same disease. Miss Polly PARDUE, of the same neighborhood has also been quite ill with flux, but is now improving. During the past four months, Mr. Ambrose CLAYTON has caught twenty-three ground hogs, eighty-three coons, thirty skunks, six muskrats, one mink, and one hundred o'possoms. This is the best varmit-exterminating record of this section and Mr. Clayton wears the belt of champion trapper at present. The vote for and against the proposition for the County court to take $2,500 stock in the Glasgow to Scottsville Pike stood thirteen against, and two for it. If the new Pike is to be built at all, it is pretty plain that it must be done without any help from Barren County. George HOOP, a well-known rough character, once a resident of these parts, was seen a few days ago in Louisville. George was last heard of in an affray on the Mississippi river, where he was said to have been literally disembowled by a roustabout. His coming to life will not excite a very lively sentiment of gratitude in the breasts of those who know him best. Going into her parlor in the early dusk of a few evenings since Mrs. Dr. FRANKLIN espied a man clambering in to her window. He fell back out into the darkness as soon as discovered. Mrs. Henry MOSS, one night last week, was also waked by some one attempting to enter the window. She made an outcry, and the inquisitive party withdrew. Somebody is pining for an introduction to the muzzle-end of a shotgun. Sandi

Good morning! I am attempting to find additional material for my daily tips; after 20 years, I have gone through a lot of source data! As an addition to the use of the word "late" in my tip last week, a reader reminded me of one more. "Jane Jones late Jane Smith ..." This would indicate that Smith was her maiden name. Now, a little tip on using abbreviations and the order of entering dates. We all use abbreviations in entering our genealogical data, but some can be confusing to the reader. We should be constant in the use of abbreviations and it is most helpful that there be an explanation sheet defining same. W/o is use often. Is this wife of or widow of. I prefer to use wid/o denoting a widow. S/o - Spouse of or son of - normally used for son of D/o - normally used for daughter of OSS - on same stone with. This denotes a headstone where both names are on the same stone. C/o - Consort of or child of? This is normally child of. DOB - Date of birth DOD - Date of death POB - place of birth POD - place of death M(1), M(2), etc. Marriage #1, marriage #2 etc. It's clearer to write Md (!) .... Dates can be the most confusing when one is reading the records of another researcher. You should pick a format, explain the format. As an example: 21 Jan 1802 Jan 21 1802 ---- these are logical and easy to determine. 21011802 -- now is that 21 Jan 1802 or is Feb 10th 1802 with an accidental extra 1 typed or written in? I am transcribing some records now where this format is used. I have to stop and read through other dates where it is more obvious as to where the month or day is shown first. This can throw off your records if you read it hurriedly and get the month and day reversed. My preference is to write a date as 21 Jan 1802 which is almost universal. But, it is quite acceptable to write it as we write dates normally, Jan 21, 1802. The main thing is to be consistent and if you're using a different format - give an explanation.
