What is the name of your wonderful sounding machine and where might I find one? I have some tapes from the 80's that I would like to do over on disk form. Also does anyone know how I could do the same with some 8mm films from when I was a girl?

All true - I've seen mistakes written in stone, mistakes written in newsprint and I'm sure the majority of families have some history they would rather not discuss, which is fine. But if you can get the gestures, the nuances of speech, some of the surrounding environment, you can create a treasure. The basics have evolved from written transcripts to audio to video on tape to video in digital form but the *basics* are still important. In fact - as time allows, I want to create transcripts of some of my tapes and commit them to ink on paper. I'm fairly confident ink on paper will still be in use a hundred years from now. Various other media may or may not make it through various formats we don't even know about today.

This will be a bit of a lengthy post to the message boards but I just wanted to share a few hints and tips about the part videotape can play in family history. As I write this, I am converting a videotape (from Thanksgiving 1986) to dvd. No one knows how long videotape might last - I know I have tape from the mid 1980's that still plays well but I want to copy them all to a digital format. There are machines you can buy that play/record vhs on one side and play/record dvd's on the other side. Don't confuse this with dvd players, what I have is a player-recorder. As for the five generations, not everyone will have a chance for something like that. In my case, it was relatives on my wife's side. My two girls (now in thier young 20's) were toddlers, next generation was my wife, then her mother, then her grandmother and finally an aunt of my wife's grandmother who was in her 90's at the time and still, as they say, 'of sound mind and body'. We filmed in the eldest relative's house which happened to be a Sears house. My wife's heritage is mostly from Virginia. Her grandmother's aunt, on tape, mentioned how her mother told her that she was glad slavery was over with before she turned 21 as she did not want to inherit slaves. Just to point out some of the things you might capture in an interview. Now for some tips and hints. I don't know if they even sell video cameras any more - could be everything is digital. Either way, the tips and hints apply for tape or digital. First - don't just 'wing it'. As much as possible script what will be said. You will capture spontaneous moments but you want to avoid awkward moments where no one knows what to say. Write out a list of possible topics/questions and go over it well in advance with the person to be interviewed. Encourage him or her (or them) to suggest their own topics and questions and add them to the list. It can work out well to interview a group of relatives - two or three aunts and uncles for instance. It may also work out well *not* to interview several at once so give it some thought. Include the 'environment' of the interview. Before you start, pan up and down the street from outside the house or apartment to give an idea of the neighborhood where the person currently lives. Try to get video of schools attended, places of employment, places of worship attended or where married - any place you can reasonably get to that touches on the persons life. If you can get to a cemetary where the person has relatives buried, take some video of headstones. Be slow in moving the camera. If panning about go quite slowly as the movement will be magnified when watching the tape. Tape from different angles. Look over a person's shoulder with the camera as they go thru a photo album. Think of professional interviews on TV and how they are presented. Change the angle of view from time to time. Well before the interview, encourage the person to pull together various artifiacts of thier life - military awards, school diplomas, marriage certificate, old photos - all sorts of still items can be focused on while a person talks. Try a bit of 'drama' - shoot over the headstone of an ancestor while the interview subject walks away from you. As a final shot, have the person wave goodbye thru a window while you shoot from outside the house. The chief part of the tape will be a person to person conversation. You will want someone else to hold the camera while you talk with the person. You might literally refer to notes on paper in your hand while you talk. It will keep the conversation moving and on topic. Some spontaneous moments will almost certainly pop in. Keep tv's and radios off. I would even go so far as to temporarily unplug telephones while interviewing. If you get a 'real time' interruption, you can recover but it's not always easy and makes for bad taping. While concentrating on one person, if you can get several generations together in a film that makes for great tape. I'm not sure if I'll ever get a shot at five generations again but I'm glad I took the time for it some 17 or 18 years ago. Rambled on a bit - if there is a single point I want to make, it is this - plan the interview and then plan some more. Include as many different facets of a persons life as you can - what was their childhood like, school, employment, marriage? I believe there are useful online guides you can review and probably printed materials you can buy. Hope this gives people some food for thought!

The surname list is for surnames only, therefore we did not add the first names. Smith has been added, and we ask that you check it and verify it is correct.

Near Rochester, NY, I believe in Monroe Co, there is a town of Leroy. In Jefferson County, NY, there is a town of LeRay. The capital "R" is no longer officially used, but old habits die hard, and it does not affect alphabeting lists. On the other hand, the capital or upper case is a flag which announces that it is the place in Jefferson County. See Website <http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/> to find facts concerning LeRay on the front or index page, about half way down where there is a table of all 22 towns of Jefferson County as well as the city of Watertown. We have only the one city. Nan Dixon

I've suggested that every now and then on the St. Lawrence county list. You might get a response to a genealogy query years down the road from someone trying to use an email account you no longer have. That's a major reason I use hotmail. I've switched ISP's about 3 times since starting with hotmail but never had to ask anyone to change me in their address books and did not miss any genealogy messages. The major internet based services are also handy when you travel. You can access your account from any pc with internet access (ex. from a public library). It's the same as accessing any website like the nytimes or rootsweb. You can still save emails and attachments to your pc hard drive if you want - but that leads to a whole other discussion of 'it's not if your hard drive will crash but when'. We can save that for another time.

Use that email for lists on the Internet. Of course, it would be a good idea if the lister would check that email account at least once a week. When the lister changes his/her local ISP, the big guy account will always be available.

That's a major reason I use hotmail. I've switched ISP's about 3 times since starting with hotmail but never had to ask anyone to change me in their address books and did not miss any genealogy messages. Thanks Russ, good idea, then I can go and look and concentrate on genealogy (alone) when I have time to really give to it .. MaryPat

I second that idea! Mine is a juno account (obviously not this one!) and have had it 10 years also. Every one of my queries is still good. You can still contact me about them -even tho providers come and go. Great idea! gypsy -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Steve and Maggy Wilcox Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 1:57 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NYJEFFER] Address corrections I'd like to suggest to all listers that if they don't already have an email account with one of the big guys, such a Yahoo or Hotmail or Gmail, that they sign up for a free email account with one of them.

I'd like to suggest to all listers that if they don't already have an email account with one of the big guys, such a Yahoo or Hotmail or Gmail, that they sign up for a free email account with one of them.

I have not seen it, as yet, but that does not rule out the possibility. Thanks! Sue > You may already be aware, but there was another early Solomon Smith in > Jefferson County.

Listers, I guess I need your sympathy. In attempting to send out this message, I left out the meat of the problem. A very helpful viewer sent this to me: While using the Jefferson County Surnames List - A-D, I attempted to contact the following people and here are the results: Name = Bell Paula Ligoci 27 Feb 1999 - email address of [email protected] is no longer valid Name = Dorr Sue Hinton - email address of [email protected] is no longer valid If anyone knows the correct addresses, would you please send them to me so that I may contact these persons and ascertain that they really want these surnames posted?
