http://searchforancestors.com/archives/oneworldtree.html It sounds like it will be a lot more than just a search engine. This website may answer some of the questions. Ancestry's new product, One World Tree is an intelligent SEARCH ENGINE that links family history records through a process Ancestry calls "stitching" - pooling resources from Ancestry databases and grouping them by person. These "Person Pages" created by OneWorldTree are what is being sold as a subscription. Right now all that is in OneWorldTree is the data from AWT, but eventually the user-submitted trees will become less and less important as Ancestry stitches its datasets together for a "Person Page" which will provide references to the original sources. Within the next couple of months, Ancestry will stitch the 1930 census information building trees from the relationship information in the census and then will start stitching all of its datasets, including all the census and vital records, grouping sources by person.

I thought this was worth forwarding. I am not the author, but believe in this person's principle on the issue.

OPEN INVITATION TO OUR SAFE DAY WOODLAND CEMETERY NEWARK, NJ FAMILY GRAVESITE VISITATION & TOMBSTONE RECORDING DAY Saturday, June 5, 2004 9:30 a.m. (rain date Sunday, June 6) For old friends who help each year, it's that time again. For new people who have never had the opportunity, this is your chance to go to Woodland Cemetery in Newark, NJ to visit your family gravesites in the security of a group. For those out of state, our volunteers will help with pictures and tombstone inscriptions of your family gravesite. Each year the Newark Police Dept. has provided us with on-site protection, although with a large group we find we are pretty safe. Woodland Cemetery in Newark has over 82,000 burials from 1856 through present. We are not affiliated with Woodland Cemetery in any way, but work only as a volunteer group trying to preserve the tombstone inscriptions and helping family researchers find their ancestors through our computer database. For those who are able to attend, we ask that you allow some time to help record tombstone inscriptions. Please invite your friends (adults only please) its actually an enjoyable day outdoors! We'll pair you up with someone, so please come even if you are by yourself. Anyone who will be searching for family gravesites and needs help in locating them, please e-mail us to let us know what gravesite you will want to visit. This way we can check for your family names in the computer database and prepare a map ahead of time in order to guide you. Anyone who cannot attend, but would like inscriptions and pictures of their family tombstones, please make arrangements with John or me ahead of time and we will do our best to record inscriptions and take pictures of your site, time permitting. To everyone - please let me know if you will be attending so we will have an approximate count. The day is Saturday, June 5, at 9:30 a.m. at the front gate (on South 10th St.), with a rain date of Sunday, June 6th, again at 9:30 a.m. If both days are raining, a new date will be set at a later time. If there is a question on the weather, anyone may call in the morning between 8:00-8:30 at 973-667-0450 to find out if we're still "on". The gate entrance for Woodland Cemetery is located at 670 South 10th Street between Springfield and Avon Avenues, Newark, NJ. Directions - take the Garden State Parkway to the Springfield Ave. Irvington Exit #143. Take Springfield Ave East to South 10th Street - Make a right onto South 10th St. The cemetery is located about a quarter mile down on the left side. As a reminder, here are a few suggestions if you are planning on joining us to record tombstone inscriptions: Wear long pants, a short-sleeved shirt, with a long sleeved shirt/sweatshirt over it (in case it gets warm). Wear socks and either sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes of some sort. If you will be spending a few hours with us, bring some cold bottled water or soda - you will get thirsty. Please bring: * pencils/pens - we'll supply the paper * clip board (if you have one, If not, we will have a few available) * cheap camera (it helps to look through a camera lens to decipher a tombstone inscription) * sunglasses (sometimes easier to see the inscription) * small garden tool(s) to pull back weeds from tombstone; * wide sidewalk chalk, (to rub difficult inscriptions ... again, I'll bring some) * a plastic bucket to put all your "stuff" in - the tools, camera, chalk, camera, etc. - it makes it easier for you to carry everything from tombstone to tombstone. * a towel or kneeling cushion, some tombstones only show a couple of inches above ground... Any questions, e-mail or call either of us: John Sass Mary Lish [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Bloomfield, NJ Nutley, NJ 973-748-0985 973-667-0450 Mary Lish [email protected]
Hi, I'm looking for information on the family of William Clare Nestor Sr. who lived in Franklin (b. 1884 or 1885) and died abt 1936. He was an employment agent for New Jersey Zinc. I'm also looking for more on William Berrigan and Mary (maiden name unknown) who were born in Ireland in the early 1820s and were in Sussex County by 1860. They may have been buried in Old R.C. Cemetery. I'd like to know more about this cemetery too. William and Mary's daughter (also Mary) married Patrick J. Nestor, who was William C Nestor's father. Thanks in advance - I hope to hear from someone connected with these families! Gail Nestor
