This was on today's Ancestry's newsletter.. made alot of sense and if possible, I'm going to start to do the same. This sure would have helped me last October when I made a trip to AR. Jane Foley NC Ancestry Quick Tip After the Research Trip by Yolanda Campbell Lifter My long-distance research trips are usually seven or more days in length. I arrive home with piles of paper and documents that I have collected along the way as well as all the digital photos I took. To help make my post-trip recovery easier, I have developed a simple way to help myself. At the end of each day of research, I send myself an e-mail. I write where I was on that particular day and what I did. I note any libraries, courthouses, or cemeteries I visited. I also mention if I made any new discovery or found something that needs further follow-up. I list the name(s) of anyone I need to send a thank-you note. I report which client(s) I worked for that day and for how long. I also mention anything that may help me on future trips to the same area such as a landmark for that hard to find cemetery or the name and location of a store I visited. This method has helped me avoid feeling overwhelmed when I return home, and the task of organizing my new findings seems more manageable

I thought this might be interesting to share! Jane Foley NC 10 THINGS MY DESCENDANTS WILL HAVE WANTED ME TO KNOW: 10. that future generations would count so heavily on census reporting to be factual 9. that handwritten diaries handed down to stable generation descendants are a godsend to historians, even as 'mundane' things as their daily life activities 8. that when pictures were taken, making sure that they were labeled on the back more than 'Sue's baby dau" 7. that there was the importance of saving letters that contained info about the family they received from others. 6. giving family history including those letters and diaries and pictures to the real caretakers of the family who cared about the family history and family history preservation. 5. the important of continuing the yearly family reunions, even if a few attended 4. the godsend of writing down the migrations of the history that I knew it to be. From where to where, who and why.... 3. the importance of writing down copies of the Bible Records notations and passing it along to many members of the family including connecting ones in whatever way, in case of fire, flood, or stupid direct descendants who would pitch the valuable info. 2. the godsend of writing down their own family history and diagrams the way they knew it to be including who fought in what war, and whether or not the family was cousins with whatever famous person [and perhaps how, if they were!]And while we're at it, making the notations of how the name was spelled. 1. to NEVER NEVER NEVER name a son or dau, the same as in the past if more than 2 times it already appears in the same generation, found in the same county, and state.

He asked of her children....Yes, she had quite a few, The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two, She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red, His sister, she whispered, was napping in bed, She noted each person who lived there with pride, And she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside, He noted the sex, the color, the age, The marks from the quill soon filled up the page, At the number of children--she nodded her head and saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead The places of birth she "never forgot", Was it Kansas?or Utah? or Oregon....or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear, but, she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here. They spoke of employment, of schooling and such, They could read some, and write some, though really not much, When the questions were answered his job there was done, So he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun, WE can almost imagine his voice loud and clear, "May God bless you all for another ten years", NOW picture a time warp....its now you and me. AS we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow, AS we search for that entry from long, long ago.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone. A three-minute call from Denver to New York City cost eleven dollars. There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads. The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph. Alabama, Mississippi, Iowa, and Tennessee were each more heavily populated than California. With a mere 1.4 million residents, California was only the 21st most populous state in the Union. The tallest structure in the world was the Eiffel Tower! The average wage in the U.S. was 22 cents an hour. The average U.S. worker made between $200 and $400 per year. A competent accountant could expect to earn $2000 per year, A dentist $2,500 per year, a veterinarian between $1,500 and $4,000 per year. A mechanical engineer about $5,000 per year. More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at home. Ninety percent of all U.S. physicians had no college education. Instead, they attended medical schools, many of which were condemned in the press and by the government as "substandard." Sugar cost four cents a pound. Eggs were fourteen cents a dozen. Coffee was fifteen cents a pound. Most women only washed their hair once a month, and used borax or egg yolks for shampoo. Canada passed a law prohibiting poor people from entering the country for any reason. The five leading causes of death in the U.S. were: 1. Pneumonia and influenza 2. Tuberculosis 3. Diarrhea 4. Heart disease 5. Stroke The American flag had 45 stars. Arizona, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska hadn't been admitted to the Union yet. The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was 30!!!

Only 6 percent of all Americans had graduated high school. Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at corner drugstores.

I recently purchased some books from a church in my area (Wisconsin). One is a beginners Latin book, and there is a name handwritten in the back cover, with an address. The book is quite old, published in 1928. I wanted to see if this man ever made it to priesthood- there was a holy card that stated, "Are you thinking of becoming a priest?" in the book. I put the man's name in and I happened to come across your web page on "Google" I see that you are looking for a Beech Creek Cemetery. The name in my book is Bernard Dalton. He wrote his address as Box 402, Peach Creek, West Virginia. Could you be looking for "Peach" Creek? It seems possible that a lot of "Daltons" may be buried there. Please respond with any information that you may have about Bernard Dalton's history. Thank you so much, Mrs. Germaine Bilicki
