I can't support Sandi enough on the statement of not taking original documents with you on a trip!  I did some of the same in 1980 and my auto was broken into; my briefcase stolen and it contained much of my original material, also taken were seven cameras.  I did NOT have a happy ending.

I have two small "netbooks" as well as my full size laptop. I use PAF for my genealogy program [ yes I know it's old and outdated but it works and does what I want ]. I also use a program called Dropbox. I have it on all my computers. The PAF database is stored in "Dropbox". When I'm out and about with my portable machine and adding information it all goes into dropbox. As soon as I connect to the internet the data is synchronized on every other computer that is running. If the home computer is turned off while we are out of town or something, as soon as I get home and turn it on the new data is there. No hassle shuffling things between computers. It's cloud storage and file synchronization across computers. It will also allow you to share information with another person securely. > 12 - Not paying attention to clues.

Also keep track of old family stories. Most will not be accurate in all details but they often hold a small nugget of truth. You just have to find that nugget. -- I may be crazy, but crazy is better than stupid. _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._

In conclusion - 10 - Not making a master copy and taking a duplicate with you. Again, a word of testimony. Many years ago I flew to KY and joined another Gorin family for a week long research trip thru KY and TN. We hit every courthouse in south central KY and headed down to Stewart Co TN to try to find the burial spot of the youngest Gorin brother. Miraculously, we found it - totally by accident. Upon leaving, 3 adults and two young boys loaded into the car to head back to Bowling Green - in super high spirits. We didn't notice the car behind us flashing his lights. When we got to the motel - we realized that Mr. Gorin had placed his notebook and camera on top of the car as we got in. ALL of his research, all of our findings and pictures of the graves gone. This had a happy ending, which many won't, when this fellow behind us pulled over, picked up all the notebooks and brief case, found an address in Greensburg, KY and drove all the way there to see if the man there was connected. He was, he was an uncle and the papers were retrieved. Never again. Never take your master copies with you as you go library researching, cemetery hunting. Make a duplicate you can scribble on. If you're visiting potential relatives, you can scan your photos to show them possibly leaving a copy with them if they are long lost cousins! And, I might add. If you take your computer with all your research with your files on it, dump your data to one or two flash drives or cd's and keep them in a separate place. If somehow you lose your computer (IPad or whatever), you have backup! 11 - Not organizing your records. Do I need to add anything here? Do we ever really get organized? 12 - Not paying attention to clues. If it's a clue, it's worth recording. If it doesn't pan out, fine. But you'll kick yourself from here to Sunday if there was a crumb and you let the birds get it! 13 - Assuming your surname is never spelled any other way. A big laugh follows here. Let me count the ways surnames could be and were spelled. Bowles - Boles - Bolls - Bowls. Dickerson, Dickinson, Dickson. Even the simplest names could be spelled. Gorin - Goran - Goren - Goring- Gorum- Goram - Gorham - Goin, etc. . I won't even tell you the ways my maiden name was spelled - Laughery. (or pronounced!) Clerks, doctors, lawyers ... they all spelled the name "the way they heard it". Some could barely spell themselves. Some wrote so poorly that it was up for grabs what the name was. Be creative in your web searches or index searches. Sometimes when a man saw his name in print, even though the spelling was incorrect - he thought the clerk (or whoever) must be right and started spelling his name that way. And, yes, there were family feuds! I had a late neighbor whose name was spelled unusually from others in the area. She said her husband changed the spelling on his name because when he was in WW II, the US Army spelled it wrong. He was told if he wanted to get paid, he would spell it that way. And, he did. I'm sure there are many other mistakes we've all made through the years; I could write a book just on that subject. Maybe some of these mistakes will stick with us and make us better researchers.

Author: pljones186 Surnames: Cain/Kane Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.kentucky.counties.barren/22402/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Following up from previous questions to this list on parents for Mary Alice Kane/Cain Read, I now know that Mary Alice had a brother named Harl Cain. According to Harl's WWII draft card, he was born on 16 Jun 1879 in Barren County, and moved to California after joining the Army in 1901. I found him in the census in Butte County, California, where he died in August 1962. I am interested to know if others have come across parents for Harl Cain. Additional information - from the birth certificate's for Mary Alice's children Pearl Read and Carl Read, these documents list Mary Alice's place of birth as "near Glasgow, Barren County."

Let's look at a few more mistakes: 4 - not using maps. This is something I failed to do in my earlier days of genealogy and really formed some incorrect assumptions because of it. In one of my family lines, I had them pulling up stakes, loading the children and livestock on a wagon and moving way too much. When I started looking at the maps - primarily the evolution of one county from another, I realized that they stayed put but the new county came to them! With the early divisions of counties, county lines were changed and they lived in an area that became part of a new county. I also couldn't understand why on one tax year they were living in one county and the next year were paying their taxes in another county. Then I learned that people were allowed to pay their taxes in another county. This happened many times when they lived closer to the county seat of another county than their own. Sometimes, one can find families shown in both counties; guess they wanted to be sure and both clerks entered the information. So, it's important to know the "lay of the land." If someone said they were born in Barren County in 1797 ... ooops, there was no Barren Co then. But, likely they lived in what "became" Barren Co. You might find their early records in Warren County. Or if an older date - Green, Logan or even the first 3 counties. They were here - the county wasn't! It's neat to print off a county map - the older the better (or when your family was there). Trace the routes they took from one place to another. It might give you a clue as to where to look for information. 5 - Not knowing the history of the area. This is something we need to expand on. That's one reason I try to give you information on earlier times in this area. The more you learn, the more your research may fall together. Was there an epidemic that killed some of your family or impacted them? Did the Civil War cause them to pull up stakes and move? Can you find a church record of them and locate the church? Did they get involved in political causes? Did they hold an office? What was the land like when they lived there? 6 - Using common sense. Oh boy, I could write volumes on accepting someone else's information without documentation. It has cost me years likely in unraveling a mistake I made because I trusted something on line - or even from a family member. Another example was when I was compiling information on one of my family lines. I'd interviewed a family member who spun the most "interesting" tales - making him really bigger than life. At the same time I was corresponding with his brother, both now deceased. The brother asked me to send him what his interviewed brother had told me. Within a week or so, I had this long letter from the non-interviewed brother telling me that I could pitch 99% of the interview - it just wasn't true. He loved his brother but that brother really liked to exaggerate his life's accomplishments. Of course I had to explain to the interviewed brother why all of his interview wasn't included. "The book was getting too big, had to trim it down." Well, the book WAS getting too big and I had trimmed! More later - Sandi --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

1 - not using family sheets and pedigree charts. We get lazy sometimes when doing "computerized" research. A majority of us have a genealogy program that thankfully hooks all our names together - husband and wife, their children, their parents, etc. But have we taken time to have that program print off a pedigree chart or family sheet like we used to before the computer era? Or, if we still do our genealogy the "old way" do we skip those forms? It's amazing what we can see (and what we have missed) sometimes. Mistakes will show up if, for example, the father is younger than the son or a marriage took place 30 years before the first child was born (or the mother was 85 when the child was born!) I am totally amazed as some of the family trees on line. As I have mentioned before, one record shows me marrying my husband three times - the last time a year after his death. 2 - Not contacting relatives for assistance. I know it gets discouraging when we e-maill, call or write relatives and they show no interest. Been there, done that as they say. But, with gentle persistence, the researcher can stumble on that kissin' cousin who IS interested. They might just be the one who inherited the family Bible or has a photo album tucked away. Don't give up! 3 - Assuming that no one else is working on your line. This ties in with #2 above. No matter how small your family tree might be, there likely is a twig out there who is working just as hard. As an example: While my parents-in-law were living, I was pretty well forbidden in researching their family. Maybe a skeleton might be found and besmirch someone's reputation. So I had to be very careful in my "snooping" with family members. It was discouraging! After their passing, family came rushing at me. They wanted to know, they were interested and they had information that I was missing. They were just afraid to rock the boat earlier. More later!

I'm borrowing this from the Central Illinois Genealogical Quarterly, Spring 2014 who borrowed it from "Twigs and Branches", Dec. 1996. Mistakes we make: 1 - Not using family group sheets and pedigree charts. (Even with "computerized genealogy", these are important!) 2 - Not contacting relatives for assistance. 3 - Assuming that "no one else is working on my line." 4 - Not using maps of the area at the time your ancestors were living there. 5 - Not knowing the history of the area in which you are conducting research. 6 - Not using common sense when reading family histories. If a source for information is not listed, be cautious about accepting it.Some information may be hearsay. 7 - Gathering information on everyone with "that" surname, unless it is a very uncommon one. 8 - Not using primary sources: land, probate, church, county records but relying on printed histories. 9 - Not making photocopies. 10 - Not making a master copy. Leave the master copy at home when you travel to do research and take the duplicate with you. 11 - Not organizing your records. 12 - Not paying attention to clues your ancestors might have left. 13 - Assuming that your surname is never spelled a different way. One more e-mail to follow as I explain the above. Sandi --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast! Antivirus protection is active. http://www.avast.com

Add 20 yrs to everyone's 1880 age for the 1900 census. I'm not related to any member of this family. 1940 is the last available census at this time. These statements reflect the problems when tracing ppl who were born before 1850 - Facts you should know about the early census records - All census records [1790 - 1840] prior to the 1850 census ONLY listed the head of household; whether male or female. NO specific age was stated for any family member NO place of birth was stated - city, state, or country NO city, town, or village is stated - only the county; however some census takers listed the township NO street address was stated NO marital status was stated - single, married, widowed, or divorced NO family relationship was stated - brother, sister, cousin, son, daughter, wife, inlaw, etc. NO occupation was stated NO parental birthplaces are stated NO race was stated [but assume "white"] 1850, 1860 & 1870 census records do not show family relationships, marital status or parental birthplaces. Step children are not enumerated as "step" children Adopted children are not enumerated as "adopted" Grand children are not enumerated as "grand children" Orphaned children were not enumerated as "orphan" Immigration date is not recorded 1850 is the 1st census that shows all family members with their birthplaces 1880 is the 1st census that shows parental birthplaces and family relationships TRY - Find a grave - FREE SITE - volunteer site all states; frequently has headstone pic NEVER SEARCH FOR A MARRIED WOMAN USING HER MAIDEN NAME. http://www.worldvitalrecords.com/ Try Vital Records - Birth, Marriage, & Death, Social Security Info, Census Records - FREE ALL STATES http://search.labs.familysearch.org/ KY Vital Record - Kentucky Birth and Death Records are available for period 1911 and forward.
