Hello Listers.  You all are doing such remarkable research and sharing your knowledge with regard to backing up sources.  This is so important and so many blind alleys and brickwalls await us at the end of the day when we get sloppy.  However, could we run through one more time our 'RollCall' we worked on several weeks ago?  Someone out there must know something about my CLARK family who came to the early Pittsburgh area about 1740.  They were Charles (Charley) and Mary (perhaps Duke) CLARK and their one daughter Susanna (1763-1833) married John Turner.  Susanna and John are buried at the Turner Cemetery.  It is written that Susanna was born in Baltimore (no proof of this).  Does anyone have any knowledge of this CLARK family? Thanks in advance.   Cornelia Clark Browne

Hi Diana, I'm so glqad you brought up this subject. I agree with you 100% on some of the sites and tribalpages can be among them. I always check Public Tree on Ancestry and use them as a guide. If I find something that doesn't jell, I leave a comment which is a good tool and probably underused. On my tribalpages website I have room to write 8,000 words under each person. I then source my info. even if it's someone's else's work which may or may be right. I also quote census records and whatever else I can find. I've also wondered what is going to happen to it when I'm gone, but I really don't have any control over that. Hopefully, enough people will be kind enough to give me credit... yes, make my mark on the world. I've been doing this for a little over 20 years and have spent lots of money gathering death certificates, etc. I'm sure you do this, also. Everyone, scroll down and read Diane's last paragraph. And remember, sharing is the heart of genealogy! ~Blessing, Bev ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Nichols" <150atf@salsgiver.com> To: <paallegh@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2011 6:10 AM Subject: Re: [ALL] tribalpages websites > Bev, > > I checked out the web page for tribalpages, and I agree that it looks > interesting as an option for saving family trees. > > But as I read about it, and started looking at other sites, it occurred to > me the one aspect of all of this that bothers me (now 62 and wondering how > to leave a mark in the world). > > All of these sites, including Ancestry, just delete all the info after the > subscription runs out.

Larry, Does your item back up the entire computer file, or does it just back up added material since the last back-up? Mine can do an added material only, which is very fast. But I can see the advantage of doing a total back-up periodically, because of system updates.

Bev, I checked out the web page for tribalpages, and I agree that it looks interesting as an option for saving family trees. But as I read about it, and started looking at other sites, it occurred to me the one aspect of all of this that bothers me (now 62 and wondering how to leave a mark in the world). All of these sites, including Ancestry, just delete all the info after the subscription runs out. Now, with Ancestry, the info is put onto One World Tree, and perhaps some of the other sites also save data too, but that raises a question. Where in all these files are the sources saved? It frustrates me to no end that the sources are not available. Because..... so many people doing research make stupid mistakes. I have seen people link my great-grandfather to living in Iowa or Arizona when he never left Pittsburgh after the frightening journey over the Atlantic. I have cruised other members trees while dabbling in my Ancestry file to find No One has a source listed for Anything. A person finds a census (or whatever) with the same name as their ancestor and just blindly links to it. Then other people find their data and link to it. It expands over the Net into a giant mistake. Where is the source and justification? Yes, I understand how hard this all is sometimes, as I have been at it for 32 years. But it would all be so much easier if we all just listed where we got the info. I try, but have a few blank spots from my early research. Everybody, go back and meticulously list your source material! Save a direct quote, with page number, name of the book or record, where it was when you found it. And date that source. I'm as quilty as everyone else about this, but we have to do it.

Larry, My husband tried setting up an automatic save, but a couple nights when I had insomnia, the computer was working.

Hi Bev, I sit next to the wood stove and type in between throwing logs on the fire. It's a balmy 80 and I love it. Typing also makes me relaxed. Since I'm copying another interment book for the cemetery of about 380 pages, it's good that that relaxing thing goes on. I should be almost catatonic by spring. I have heard about the websites that save things for you. You are the first person I ever heard feedback from using one. Is it difficult to upgrade? I am happy with my external hard drive. I saved files from an old computer on disks (remember those little colored square things?) but now the newest computer won't read them or some of the old CDs. So my work files are gone that I created for my old job, but I still have hard copies in the file cabinet. I thought computers were supposed to help with this stuff. So much for planned obsolescence.

Hi Clare, There are so many researchers that contact me about the records at Greenwood Cemetery, and I'm sorry to say that before my computer crash, I seldom saved the correspondence other that handwritten notes in a folder in my file cabinet. But this past year I have built them into a Word document for each name. There are seldom more that one researcher asking me about a particular family, but occasionally they will bring in an aunt or cousin who is also researching, so we get a 3 way conversation going. I started a folder in My Documents for "Research For Others" and also have a "Family Research" folder too. With each correspondence, I make a Word document with the family name on top. Then I go to the e-mails and copy and paste each post on the Word document (I have to remember to date at least the first one). Sometimes I have to make note about a file that I attached to a mailing. I save that document under the family name and save the file in the appropriate folder (Others or Family). Each folder has at least 20 document files in it. Then there are the old paper files in my cabinet. Probably 50 or so that I still have to convert into a computer file. The tombstone photos for Greenwood and the research Ellis has allowed me to attach to each old stone has certainly increased the correspondence! I also have a folder for the Civil War veterans, which started me on all of this. They are a bit more extensive, with a photo of the stone cut and pasted. It can be a lot of trouble to type all of this and save it, but it's also a lot of trouble to go back and do the research again when someone new comes along asking the same questions. Also some people have corrections to the quick research I did. It really helps, especially when women of similar names get mixed. Some of these files are actual research also - census records, military pension records, etc. My only hitch in all of this is my family files. Each relative (especially cousins) can go off in many directions, and I have several files for each family name. It's just a matter of organization, and I will figure out how to simplify it this winter.

Hi Listers, The list has been kind of quiet. Since the winter days are keeping a lot of us at home between necessary visits to work, school and grocery stores, what is everyone doing for genealogical fun? I have been going over my paper files, checking that all my notes are on my computer somewhere. And I don't mean my on-line family tree, but in family files on my hard drive that I can back up. Those of us who depend on Ancestry, etc for on-line research may forget an occasional census record, military record or a possible date or name we need to confirm. It's so easy to download it and forget to make a copy. I have had multiple computer crashes because of an accidental button pushed by a grandchild that deleted a part of a program (how I never figured out) and it was just fortunate that I have a month old backup on a separate drive. It has made me paranoid ever since. This periodical checking makes me feel better and occasionally reveals something that sets the light bulb in my head off like a beacon. I have also developed a paper for each of my contacts. I copy the e-mails between us and hold them under the last name in a "Family Research File". My memory ain't what it used to be and I always had trouble with it anyway, so these e-mail copies are necessary when someone mails back a year later asking if I uncovered anything new. I would have no idea without the mailings kept, but want my e-mail file restrained within reason. So tell us all what you are doing. Diane

Hi Diane, Here's where you look to find out about it: http://www.tribalpages.com/about.html Like I said, I started out with a free one and upgraded with a click of a button when I ran out of space for photos. I like the site because I can keep it private with a password which I did for a very long time. Since I'm in my 70s now, I decided that I should share it. I add names of my living family, but did not share their data. If anyone did complain, I can show them as just "living" and add notes that is only visible by me with my private password. Of course that's used for editing and adding. It's so simple and user friendly. I don't know what I'd do without it. It allows me to really branch out. There's not way, I could keep all the paperwork and documents at my finger tips. It started in 2000 and I found out about it in 2005. There's now over 300,000 members, over 80 million names, and 2 million photos. It can be another good resource for all of us genealogists and family historians. If you find a name and the webmaster has a password they will usually give it to you. It's always good to let them know what your interest is and why you want to look. Throwing logs on a fire really appeals to me. I don't have a fireplace... dang! My other favorite website is http://findagrave.com . I have gotten a tremendous amount of help there and love to create memorials. I always leave a token/message for my relatives so others can find me and they do.... ~Blessings, Bev ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Nichols" <150atf@salsgiver.com> To: <paallegh@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 5:56 PM Subject: Re: [ALL] winter days > Hi Bev, > > I sit next to the wood stove and type in between throwing logs on the > fire. > It's a balmy 80 and I love it.

Hello Diane, Believe it or not, it's very chilly and yucky here in my part of California, too. We have the heater set at 71 and I'm still bundled up in my fleece lounge/pajamas with a robe on top. I usually do genealogy every day... snopping around and finding new info. I have a tribalpages website. They back it up for me and it only costs about $29 a year, I think. You can get a free one, too, and I slowly upgraded it, so I'd have more space. Everything I have is there, so all I have to do is look when someone wants something. Luckily, I like to type; it relaxes me. If you'd like to take a look, it's http://osman.tribalpages.com I usually get a hit from someone now and then and that's the most fun for me! ~Blessings, Bev ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Nichols" <150atf@salsgiver.com> To: <paallegh@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 5:13 PM Subject: [ALL] winter days > Hi Listers, > > > > The list has been kind of quiet.

I am trying to locate the church/cemetery where the family of Joseph and Mary Byrne may be buried. Census records show they lived on Webster Ave, Craig St and then on Maripoe - 1900 to 1930. Joseph died before 1910, Mary after 1950 and a daughter Loretta (a high school teacher) in 1971. Other children were Edward J, Mary J, Bernard A and Joseph T (he became a priest). Any help would be appreciated. Pat

I Google Rev.John T. Byrne and found him in Norm's listing for St. Mary"s Cemetary. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~njm1/stmygp.htm Unfortunately he is only one listed because it is listing of Pgh Diocese Clergy buried there.
