Hi list, for those with British ancestry the Yesterdays site (link below) now contains thousands of names that appear on official documents found in Derbyshire, England. These documents contain the names of folks not just from Derbyshire but also from throughout the British Isles. Why they were in Derbyshire and not the Counties they would expect to be in can be for numerous reasons. Settlement Certificates; give the names of people who had left one parish for a new one. Should they fall on hard times, then the "new" parish had a right to send them back Settlement Examinations: were conducted to ascertain a persons last legal settlement before being removed to that place. These documents can give a lot of very interesting details. Removal Orders; were the instrument by which means a person(s) were removede to their last legal Settlement. Also included is a section on Rogues and Vagabonds, Bastardy, Apprenticeships and Miscellany, plus other categories. If your ancestor is missing, they may just show up here. mike. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~spire/Yesterday/index.htm

At the age of 12 years he began to learn printing in the office of the Advertiser, a weekly newspaper published at Cohoes, N. Y. In August, 1849, he removed to Providence, where he followed the occupation of printer until May, 1854, being employed most of the time on the Morning Mirror, when he went to California, arriving at San Francisco on June 17 of that year on the steamer Brother Jonathan via Nicaragua. He engaged at mining in the vicinity of Carrote, Tuolumne county, from June, 1854, until May, 1858, when he returned to San Francisco. He resumed his occupation as a printer and was employed upon the Alta California, Morning Call and Herald.

When President Lincoln made a call upon California for volunteers he entered the military service of the United States as second lieutenant, Co. B, 1st California Inf.; promoted to first lieutenant, Co.

LXVI - LXVII. "CHARLES HENRY PARTRIDGE - Born Franklin, Mass., April, 1860; died (suicide) Woonsocket, R. I., April 11, 1903; began to learn printing in Franklin about 1876; initiated into Providence Union Feb. 27, 1887. His father, G. I. Partridge, of Franklin, wrote: 'The reason of his death, or why he took his life, will always remain a mystery. He had worked in the offices of the Woonsocket Reporter nearly five years, was always steady, and received a good salary.' WILLIAM J. PASSMORE - Committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor in this city Oct. 10, 1895, owing to despondency caused by illness; he was initiated into Providence Union May 31, 1895, and had worked in various job offices here. ALFRED W. PEARCE - In 1857 worked at 24 Westminster street; lived in Pawtucket; name in list of members in 1865 constitution. BENJAMIN W. PEARCE - Born Swansea, Mass., April 9, 1819; died Newport, R.I., April 15, 1904. From his eighth to his eighteenth year he was employed in a Fall River factory; then he was apprenticed to the printing business in the office of the Fall River Patriot. Without finishing his apprenticeship, he came to Providence in August, 1837, and entered the employ of Knowles, Vose & Co., at $3 per week. His work was printing lottery tickets on a hand press. At the end of six months he went to New York city to work as a 'two-thirder.' No man in the office would correct his first proof for the price it would bring. While in New York Mr. Pearce started the Sunday School Monitor probably the first Sunday school paper published in America. He did all the work on it himself, but it was not successful, and he returned to Fall River, working along the shore for two years. In June, 1840, he went to Pawtucket, where, in partnership with Elder Tappan H. Bacheller, he printed the 'Christian Soldier,' occupying all positions from devil to assistant editor. Later he published a weekly temperance paper called 'Sparkling Fountain.' In its columns he waged a bitter warfare against liquor selling. He was repeatedly threatened with bodily harm, and one night his type was thrown into the Blackstone river. In 1843 he sold out his business and accepted the position of foreman in the office of Ray Potter & Son. In June, 1852, Mr. Pearce went to Boston to work in the office of J. E. Farwell & Co. While in their employ he occupied the dual position of editor and foreman of a weekly political paper through two political campaigns. Here Mr. Pearce acquired the rare accomplishment of putting his thoughts into type without having previously written them. Standing at the 'case,' apparently engaged in the manual occupation of typesetting, ideas flowed from his fingers in lead, as in the case of others from a penpoint, in ink. This practice he followed thereafter. The fall of 1856 found Mr. Pearce in Providence again, at work in the office of A. Crawford Greene. April 3, 1857, in company with Noel A. Tripp, he started the Fall River Daily Evening Star, the first daily paper in that city. The Star suspended March 27, 1858. He went to Biddeford, Me., for a month, and then entered the employ of George T. Hammond, publisher of the Newport Daily News, to have charge of its local department. In 1861 he entered the employ of the Providence Evening Press as their Newport local and marine correspondent, in which capacity he continued for 25 years, during which time he was elected Harbor Master for eight years. In 1886, when he was 67 years of age, he started the Newport Enterprise, and continued its publication 11 years, when failing health compelled him to abandon the work. For this paper he was editor, reporter, typesetter, office boy, pressman, printer's 'devil,' poet, advertising agent, bill collector, manager and newsboy. His poems have been collected and printed in a small volume, and he also printed a book, 'Recollections of a Long and Busy Life,' probably doing all the work himself. ROBERT M. PEARSE - Born Rehoboth, Mass., Oct. 21, 1803; learned printing in the office of Miller & Hutchens, Providence, beginning in 1819. While an apprentice he set some of the type for the first number of the Journal in 1820. After his apprenticeship he worked in this city, Boston, Cambridge, New Bedford and Taunton, varying his work at printing with two attempts at farming. In 1863 he entered the job office of Knowles, Anthony & Co., and continued until 1876, when sickness compelled him to leave his 'case.' From Feb. 13, 1877 until his death, Dec. 8, 1886, he was the oldest printer in the State. [illustration: Robert M. Pearse.] continued in part 151.

Thank you for the information. I found it very helpful. I have not lived in RI since 1980. Is it possible to get a Library card to use the online service without beign there. My ex was a Keegan and I am doing this for a great granddaughter. Since I started doing it for her my children and grandchildren all want information and are to lazy to do it and think I should since I already have my families back to the 1600s. Sally

Dear Sally, Death certificates will be the easiest and least costly if the deaths occurred before 1957.  These would be coming from the RI State Archives and the fees are minimal...couple of dollar service fee plus per copy fee something like 50 cents - you'll need to check with Archives - since these will be photocopies pulled from the microfilms of the original records. RI Archives has on microfilm ~ Deaths from about 1856 to 1957.  Births and marriages from about 1856 to 1907.  On 1 Jan of each year, another year's records are released so 1957/1907 will increase to 1958/1908 next 1 Jan 09.  Rhode Island State Archives 337 Westminster Street Providence, Rhode Island 02903 Telephone: (401) 222-2353 Fax: (401) 222-3199 Email: reference@sec.state.ri.us Web: www.state.ri.us/archives/ ~~website is poorly designed and pretty much useless from a genealogy point of view. Open to the public Monday-Friday 8:30 am - 4:30 pm Any death or birth / marriage after those dates must be obtained from the RI Department of Health, vital Records where unfortunately, there are no such thing as genealogical copies available.  Only certified copies which are $20 each are available. RI DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, OFFICE OF VITAL RECORDS: Office of Vital Records 3 Capitol Hill Room 101 Providence, RI 02908-5097 (401) 222-2812 (8:30 am-4:30 p.m. EST) Monday-Friday to speak with a Customer Service Representative. The Office is open to the public from 8:30 A.M. until 4:00 P.M. Monday through Friday. For either, RI Archives or Vital Records, you are going to need something more specific for a date beyond simply the year in which the event occurred.  Neither place will do actual research for you.  RI Archives is especially short staffed so things might take awhile. There is a man who seems to be very active in helping folks by getting information from Archives for them.    I have seen where he has helped a variety of posters at the Ancestry.com> Rhode Island> Providence County Message Board.  He goes under the name of "gopher56".  So, if you post a request there for help obtaining copies from Archives of the death certificates/reports and any 1907 or earlier marriages/births, he might see it and take-up your request.  Anything not at Archives, you can get directly from Vital Records but it will be costly and they may or may not honor the request dependent upon how your relationship to the people whose certs your are requesting and how you are related to them.  There is also the site - Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness where you might find a volunteer to help you with the Archives records.  http://www.raogk.org/faq-requesters.htm Do not that early on, RI didn't have individual death certificates.  BMD were instead, listed in ledger type books for the municipality in which the event occurred.  Each individual was afforded one line in the book across the width of the open book (2 pages) where the information was entered.  I don't know when individual certificates started being used. The earliest RI marriage I have which, coincidentally, was for a Keegan (a pretty common Irish surname, it turns out) is 1912.  It is a separate marriage certificate rather than the ledger entry and very basic.    Deaths - 1909 the ledger book was still in use.  The next RI death I have was in 1925 and on an individual form titled "Return of a Death" which was a death certificate by another name. I took a look on line in the RI Historical Cemeteries Transcription Project for your Keegan"s and found just one of your Keegan"s in their database. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rigenweb/cemetery/cemetery198.html KEEGAN JOHN FRANCIS 1911 - 12 DEC 1988 PV003PV003 is Swan Point Cemetery described as follows:  "HISTORICAL CEMETERY #: PV003 SWAN POINT CEMETERY PROVIDENCE RI Location: 20 ft east of BLACKSTONE BLVD at TEL pole # 117   38000 burials with 18000 inscriptions from      to 1994 Owner: Swan Point Cemetery, 585 Blackstone Blvd., Providence, RI 02906 (401) 272-1314 NOTE: This transcript is from the cemeteries computerized records.                                                   Map numbers that start with 'C' are cremations done at Swan Point but may not be buried there.                This cemetery has been recorded and checked." It's possible that the cemetery might be able to tell you if John Francis' spouses are buried with him. There are several obits for your Keegan"s in the Providence Journal 1983 - present which is on line at the ProQuest site & accessible with the bar code from a RI library card. Copies of all these articles from the Projo, as the paper is called locally, can be had from Reference Services at the Providence Public Library.

You make your request with names and dates, they do a look-up and let you know what they found. Because they had a problem with sending the copies to people but never receiving payment, now before they will do the copy you will have to send the $5 and the cost for however many pages of copies they've said your information is contained on. (Before Belo Corp. took over the Providence Journal, there were the traditional obits on one page and there could be a larger personal bio on an adjoining page so at least 2 pages of obit information is possible.) If you order your obits, wedding announcements, etc.directly from the Providence Journal all you will get for your money is a text transcript of the information. You will miss out on any photographs that might have accompanied the obit or article and it will cost you approximately the same amount of money. Since I have found several obits and they will take up a bit of room, I'll send them directly to you at the addy you have here in the post.

I remember seeing that a cousin by marriage made (at the time) $65,000 plus full medical & dental, defined pension w/ benefits all for teaching 3rd grade for 180 days a year in a job that one who is tenured can't be fired from short of committing a felony....sweet deal if you can get it. I had bookmarked the site for future reference for the next time the teachers went on strike in Sept. for more $$. BUT one of the teen daughters' boyfriends thought he'd do me a favor (unbeknownst to me) and "fix" my slow computer...I don't know exactly what he did but it did run a bit faster. Unfortunately, the "fix" also lost every single bookmark file I had. So here I am keeping you company & still trying, a year and a half later, to find that site again. I hope you find the site you're searching for a lot sooner than a year or more from now! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Margaret and others, For the sake of accuracy, Family Origins has NEVER BEEN BOUGHT OUT by anyone because the name and software is still owned by the creator of it. However, a wonderful company named Parsons Technology owned the exclusive DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS to it, and when Parsons Technology was bought by Broderbund (owner of FTM at the time) around 2000, it left Broderbund owning distribution rights to a competitor software and of course they chose not to distribute it in favor of their own product. Today, thanks to nemerous "large fish eats little fish" corporate acquisitions, TGN does in fact now own the distribution rights (but not the software itself), so in order for him to distribute his own software (which is far better than FTM, by the way, and much cheaper) the creator abandoned Family Origins with version 10 and now has RootsMagic, which will be in version 4 later this year when it comes out. Family Origins is not available and ceased to exist well over 5 or 6 years ago, but the new product is RootsMagic and it it can read and import all FO files if someone wants to upgrade to it. We really are getting way beyond what we should be discussing on the list, but if anyone is interested I will be happy to answer further questions about it OFF LIST as well as refer you to another list on RW where I and other RootsMagic users help each other and this would be a very appropriate subject of discussion there. The owner and creator of the software himself also answers questions there as well, whenever time allows it, and you cannot get any better authority on the software than that. David E.
