Greetings, The Fort Worth Central Library presents the following workshop, "Ancestry-in-Action: Unpuzzling Your Past and Preserving Your Family Tree" on Saturday, June 7, 2014 from 11:00 am - 4:00 pm in the Tandy Lecture Hall. Please note that morning refreshments begin at 10:30 am. We will feature three speakers at this workshop: Judy Knight will present, "Cemetery Dowsing." Trouble finding the grave of an ancestor even though you know the right cemetery? Judy Allen Knight discusses how grave dowsing can help you locate unmarked graves and provide clues about the person's identity. Knight, a genealogical speaker with more than 40 years' experience in family history, is actively preserving her family's Tarrant County cemetery. In 2001, the site was declared a Historic State Cemetery. She has served in multiple capacities with the Texas State Genealogical Society. Betsy Mills will present, "Identifying Old Photographs: Preserving and Sharing." Betsy Mills reveals how to solve puzzling old family photographs by analyzing the type of photograph, people and styles, and other often-missed clues. Learn also to preserve these memories by scanning and sharing them. Mills, part of the TXGenWeb Project and State Coordinator for ARGenWeb, became a genealogist when she was 10 years old and discovered an empty family tree in her baby book. She promptly began working to fill in the blanks. Mills currently serves as President of the Lamar County Genealogical Society and Lamar County Historical Commission. Larry McCarty will present, "Daniel Quarles: Reconnected after 150 Years." Larry McCarty presents the history of African-American Daniel Quarles, who might have been the model for the character Jim in Mark Twain's classic The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. McCarty discusses the Quarles family's migration and subsequent reconnection, link between John A. Quarles and Samuel Clemens, and the ongoing Mark Twain archaeological dig in Florida, Missouri. McCarty has spoken about black history at numerous library, university and genealogical society events, and on television. Our agenda for the day will be: 10:30 am - 11:00 am - Morning Refreshments 11:00 am - 12 pm - Cemetery Dowsing Presented by Judy Knight 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm - Independent Lunch 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm - Identifying Old Photographs: Preserving and Sharing Presented by Betsy Mills 2:30 pm - 3:00 pm - Break with Refreshments 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm - Daniel Quarles: Reconnected After 150 Years Presented by Larry McCarty Please call (817)392-7740 or e-mail: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> to reserve your spot!

I have a question about the different softwares. I am testing all of them to see which I want to use after deciding to finally say bye bye to PAF. I am comparing Ancestral Quest, Legacy and RootsMagic to see how they treat sources. The video for Legacy shows a different screen for "Add a New Source" than what I get in the free version. The screen I get shows only 14 options for "Type" whereas the Legacy Beginners Video shows a different screen with a lot more options. Just wondering if the more complete option is only available for the pay version. Does anyone know? Also, the source entry for AQ is weird. No matter what type of source you choose, you get the exact same fields. So for an internet or electronic database source, you get "vol., p. #" just like you would for a book but not "url" or "access date." Seems very odd to me. Again, does this happen just because I am using the free version, does anyone know? So far, only RootsMagic gives a full and type-specific selection of fields appropriate to and tailored to a particular source. Thanks, Barton

Barton, nothing weird about adding sources for AQ. You can create more tags to suit yourself. There are standards for source tags. (BTW, to get PAF into AQ, click open and and find paf you want, and it will do the rest.) David Samuelsen On 5/17/2014 7:02 PM, Barton Lewis wrote: > I have a question about the different softwares.

HI Everyone I'm doing research into the above who was married to a Grace ? and had three children Thomas b c 1811, Robert b c1812 and Mary b c 1814. As yet we have not been able to find a baptism for these three children anywhere in UK and was hoping that someone would have better luck. James Webb it appears was convicted in the Berkshire Assizes 16 July 1817 for stealing from a Richard Blading of Padworth. James arrived on the "Malabar" to NSW in 1819 and his wife and children followed him in 1823 onboard the "Jupiter". I'm descended from Robert Webb, the second son who married Sarah Alfick/Elphick in NSW in 1840. Thanks so much for any help with the family. Kindest regards Dianna

I would appreciate any assistance in locating the obituary for Marion S. Cramer, born 8-15-41 and died in October 1988. The obit would have been in the Schenectady Gazette or the Albany Times Union newspaper. Thanks very much and please reply to [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected])

I can tell you where my family has gone. Thomas and Mary Dawson Lowe were married in 1800 in Alford, Lincolnshire England. Among their children were Richard and Joseph Lowe. Richard,s oldest child, Amos and his Uncle Joseph came to America in 1850. They came o the ship Delia Maria which was a packet ship which shipped from Hull England in Sept. 1850. The following spring, Richard and His wife Elizabeth Teesdale Lowe and their other 5 children Sailed from Liverpool on the ship TRY. These 7 were all on the 1851 census just before leaving for America. This family came into America thru the Port of NY. They quickly found their way to Wisconsin where the were finally able to own land. In the 1880s most of the children came to California on the immigrant Train and most of the family still lives there. A few of the older ones remained in Wisconsin. Amos and his wife Mary Barrows Lowe had 14 children, 12 of whom lived to Adulthood. I should mention that Amos was not only able to own land in Wisconsin and California, but also was a Justice of the Peace (judge) in both places. This was a poor English family who had no hope in England. Amos had many other accolades in America as did their Families in America. Richard's brother Thomas was transported to Tazmania for stealing a sheep. His wife and children had to remain in England. I also have to mention that many of the people died and Families were no longer having such large families. I would mention that my second cousin Danyce Gustafson, has written an excellent book that was just released. It is about the life of poor families in England in the 1800s based upon many of the things that happened to ours. It is really worth having to read and on your shelf. I can Tell you that I stayed up all night reading it. If anyone is interested contact me or Danyce and we can tell you how to get it. It certainly helps explain why so many left England. The name of the book is STONE'S HOPE. Velma Sent from my iPad

Hi Winifred I would ask the living person If they say its OK thats fine but if not don't include them, vague dates or years might be more acceptable to some Some parts of vital records may be public record but I don't think many would be happy having their birthday published, despite the fact that many people have it on facebook for all to see Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 14/05/2014 17:45, Winifred Dixon wrote: > > When publishing a family genealogy, what is the advice of publishing the > living person's vitals.

Check your settings. You may have your tree set to “private” and will need to change that if you want others to be able to see it. M Melinda in Missouri, IBSSG Researching Surnames: Millard, Cross, Lockwood, Quirk, Mussi, Clerici (New York, New Jersey, England, Ireland, and Italy) -- --

I have used Mac Family Tree since version 4 and love it! It is pretty easy to use and, with the exception of major upgrades, updates are always free. The support team is excellent and very responsive.

Winifred It may depend on what you mean by "publishing." I've sent various "chapters" to cousins along the way, and some have included all the data and begats that can be found on the internet. However, I would not "publish" that level of information on the internet, nor, for that matter, in a broadly available "book." When I edited/published a book for a cousin (hard copy, CD, and now on the internet), we stopped with "anyone born before the 1930 census" (this was before the 1940 was available), and then used the phrase "married and had x children." For those born after 1900, I did not include birth dates. There were exceptions, including the author, me, and other "contributors," but that was rare. Permission is a good thing to have, but I'd ask the question, "Is it really important to have this person entered by name? Is it important to have vitals? Does any of this 'help' the reader?" People can get really picky. Some want in, some don't. I like to be consistent, so I'm not putting one person from a generation in, without putting all of them. Except for my immediate family, of course, who have learned to live with this.

Origins have just announced they have completed their own indexing of the 1881 for England and Wales They state they have 25,974,439 individuals Ancestry have England 24,766,872 Wales 1,588,506 ================== Total 26,355,378 ================== The above does not include the Isle of Man, Channel Islands but does include Royal Navy & ships at sea (it used to be very easy to work out the likes of ships at sea but with the *improved*? new search it no longer is) Findmypast have England 24,384,407 Wales 1,573,172 ================== Total 25,957,579 ================== The above does not include the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Ships at sea ======= Which begs the question of where have all the missing people gone? Or where the extras come from ? Depending upon how you look at it ;-) -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)

When publishing a family genealogy, what is the advice of publishing the living person's vitals. For security should the vitals be included or eliminated? I would appreciate a response. Thank you.
