-----Original Message----- From: Sandi Gorin [mailto:sgorin@glasgow-ky.com] Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2000 6:37 AM To: KYRESEARCH@rootsweb.com Subject: TIP 274 - THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF COMPUTER GENEALOGY TIP #274: THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF COMPUTER GENEALOGY Ah computers. What a wonderful way to work on one's genealogy! How much faster than handwriting or typing out family sheets and pedigree charts. Now software programs let you plug in the information in a zip, hook all the families together, calculate ages ... all those things we used to slave over by the hours. Then, there is the internet. Seemingly thousands of new cousins sprouting up all over the place; people you may never have found without those internet searches. What a blessing! And oh, those wonderful gedcoms and genealogy sites. One could spend an entire day surfing the web, in total awe that there is someone actually working on the same surname as we! And there ... they have solved your entire family tree all the way back to Adam and Eve. You excitedly accept their data, with our without documentation, to be the gospel truth and settle back totally content that finally, you can move on to another line that had been giving you trouble. Whoa! Imagine for just a split second that the person who had taken your pedigree back through all the royal households; tied you in with every president of the United States; and even shown your coat of arms - was wrong? What if they got their information from another gencom that was in error? What if it came from "crazy aunt Lizzie" who had dreams of grandeur of being related to all the famous people, or who got all of her dates and data wrong? But wait you say! I can't get to all the libraries clear across the country or visit the courthouses on the other coast? This is my ONLY way of getting the data, what am I to do? Well, we've all been there, believe me. Unless we have unlimited resources and can hop a jet to London, Paris, Germany; or even driven thousands of miles .... we all know! Here it is being handed to us on the proverbial silver platter and we can finally give our grandkids their family tree, hoping they will appreciate it in later years. What else can be do? I for one DO search all the web sites and gedcoms. I often print off the findings of this long unknown cousin or aunt and uncle and then I start dissecting them. 1 - is there a name and email of the submitter than I can write to and seek documentation or offer corrections? 2 - Does the data they have dovetail closely with what I have with a few minor details different that between I have that I can work out? 3 - Have they given their sources that are in the public domain? If so, can you write for a copy of some of the records from county clerks to verify the information? Maybe this was a different George Rogers Clark who was named for the famous Clark??? Is this the same Eisenhower family that I know to be part of our immediate family line, or a contemporary unrelated? What if there is NO documentation? Then I take it with a grain of salt and put it in a file of hopeful possibilities. What if there are drastic differences between the information shown and what I have worked on for years? Then is the time to put a big question mark on it and put it in a "to be investigated" file. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water on all the information you have already accumulated thinking that they must know best because they have it on a web site! What if I cannot get paper documentation? Then, I don't use it as an "official" record. I might cite the information and stress that "I cannot confirm the following information." But ... I've found that one has to be careful with even doing that as once it is in print, people do exactly what we shouldn't do --- take it as Gospel. A favorite pastor of mine did a small book on his family tree and prefaced the findings with the words: "How it might have been by someone who wasn't there." In conclusion, be careful on mass acceptance of all the data we find. I have found glaring errors within family lines by those who sincerely had found THE missing puzzles. Some of this came from the DAR, SAR or family members. But after being thrilled with the findings later realized that "this just can't be" ... I know that Marcellus was a Presbyterian minister because his name is on the church documents complete with his photograph! Robert could not have been a hero of the Spanish American War - I have a picture from the local newspaper of his hanging on the courthouse lawn! So whether we do our genealogy the old fashioned way by paper and pen in musty courthouses, or with the speed of transmission via the internet - the rules are the same. Question, prove, disprove, keep and throw out. (c) Copyright 13 Jan 2000, Sandra K.

Col Robert Patterson, b 1753 Cove Mt,Pa served 1774 in Lord Dunmore's War. Oct,1775,in company with John McLelland and family and 6 other young men, left the Pittsburg area for Ky,taking their movable property by canoe,and driving their cattle by land. At the mouth of Salt Lick creek,he and 3 of the young men left the Ohio River Vanceburg] intending to meet the families and canoes at Leestown. [Frankfort,Ky] They went up Salt Lick to it's head,and crossed Cabin Creek,and struck the STONE LICK where Francis McDermond later located his survey. Then,they proceded by Mays Lick to the Lower Blue Licks [US RT 68] where they met Simon Kenton and John Williams,who knew of no other whites in the country. They proceded across Licking,and several branches of Elkhorn,to Leestown.There,they met John McClelland, and moved to the Royal Spring-Georgetown-I-75 N of Lexington. Would Dr Talley please comment on their route across Lewis Co,and eastern Mason,to Mays Lick. They surely were following a buffalo trace from salt lick to salt lick. There must have been a buffalo trace north of Vanceburg,into eastern Adams Co,Oh, likely by Stout's Run,and Blue Creek,towards the spring at Latham,Oh. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Leming, Jr., Bracken County Historian. (The column does appear every week throughout the year!) John has several questions that he has asked the readers to help him with, so thought I would post his questions here and maybe he will get help from Bracken researchers via the internet. His death records for December, 1899, show the last recorded death for Bracken County on 12/29/1899, being Hayes Sroube, male, born in Bracken County and died in Bracken County. His birth records show that the last recorded birth for Bracken County, is for a female infant on 12/30/1899, with no Mother listed by the Father is listed as Grant Howard. If any researcher knows the infant or the mother, let him know. If there are any known deaths of births in the county after those dates but before January 1, 1900, let him know that also. The first of his recorded births of 1900 lists a female infant born January 14, 1900 to Willie Mains (father) and the mother's maiden name only shown as Kiskaden. John is a dedicated genealogist and all around nice guy. His e mail address is jonlem1@aol.com Maybe someone can help fill in the blanks for this Bracken County Historian.

Here's the rest of the story. Just thought you might appreciate this interesting historical information about life in the 1500's: Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May and were still smelling pretty good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the b.o. Baths equaled a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually loose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the bath water." Houses had thatched roofs. Thick straw, piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the pets, dogs, cats and other small animals, mice, rats, bugs lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed A real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could really mess up your nice clean bed. So, they found if they made beds with big posts and hung a sheet over the top, it addressed that problem. Hence those beautiful big 4 poster beds with canopies. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying "dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors which would get slippery in the winter when wet. So they spread thresh on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on they kept adding more thresh until when you opened the door it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed at the entry way, hence a "thresh hold." They cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They mostly ate vegetables and didn't get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes the stew had food in it that had been in there for a month. Hence the rhyme: peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old." Sometimes they could obtain pork and would feel really special when that happened. When company came over, they would bring out some bacon and hang it to show it off. It was a sign of wealth and that a man "could really bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit Around and "chew the fat." Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with a high acid content caused some of the lead to leach onto the food. This happened most often with tomatoes, so they stopped eating tomatoes for 400 years. Most people didn't have pewter plates, but had trenchers - a piece of wood with the middle cooped out like a bowl. Trenchers were never washed and a lot of times worms got into the wood. After eating off wormy trenchers, they would get "trench mouth." Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the "upper crust." Lead cups were used to drink ale or whiskey. The combination would sometimes knock them out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up. Hence the custom of holding a "wake." England is old and small and they started running out of places to bury people. So, they would dig up coffins and would take their bones to a house and re-use the grave. In reopening these coffins, one out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they thought they would tie a string on their wrist and lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night to listen for the bell. Hence on the "graveyard shift" they would know that someone was "saved by the bell" or he was a "dead ringer."
