I am working with a land patent through the BLM that is labeled both on the original patent and in the county deed books as a "Preemption Certificate." I did a bit of research and it looks as though a preemption certificate was issued to someone who was already living on the land they wished to purchase (or a "squatter"). Does anyone know approximately how long someone would have to be living on the land to have a preemption certificate issued? The land patent I am working with is in Kent County, Michigan with the purchase date of 1839 and the patent issuance date of 1841. Thank you! Bethany Waterbury

Michele, I do not consider county creation dates as common knowledge. I live in Tarrant County, Texas, but I would have to look up the date is was formed. You state that the dates are easily found, however, when I cite the information I reference the actual statute the state/parish/commonwealth created it---not a derivative source of that information.

Kassie Nelson, I would love to participate in a survey and yes I was born in the late 70's. I wonder if there was any difference between those who were unable visit their grandparents often compared to those who could. I know in my instance my grandparents lived in another state and we only visited usually about twice a year or so when I was younger. Actually I would love to see the results.

Maggie, You might be interested to know that NARA has a digitization project underway for RG109. Your Special Order should be in Chapter 1 (Adjutant and Inspector General's Office). Most likely in Vols 209-211 which covered SOs 1-310 dated 2 Jan 1864 to 31 Dec 1864.

Hi Maggie - I believe the notation means that Lt. Jno D. Bryan, Lt., Co. E., 6th Regt., Kentucky Calvary, retired under Special Order 217 in 1864. The "S.O." notation generally refers to "Special Order" with a numeral following which indicates the sequential number of the Special Order in any given year. You'd want to look to see if there is a regimental book containing the Special Orders issued for the regiment in 1864. Special Orders were issued when there were personnel changes (among other reasons), and they were common practice. Janeth L.

Dear TGF Listers, Thank you so much for your responses to my query of Jan 30th, “When is a phrase copyrighted?”. Your responses were very enlightening. I realized I was beating myself up over something that was not a problem after all. First, thanks Philip. I now see I need to understand the difference between copyright and trademark. One more thing to learn! Elizabeth, Thanks for your insights. I am not a professional nor planning to be but strive only to attain the quality and attributes of a professional. I have been paid twice for an all-day lecture; otherwise, all of my presentations are done for my society or the local family history center. You also helped me understand what I am trying to present. I love your explanation of “The 5 Hottest Ideas in Genealogical Research....”; You gave me my “AHA” moment. That is precisely what I am doing! My presentation is, “How to Become a Better Genealogist” and I am sharing with my society what I am doing to better my research skills and helping them to learn along with me. (I began my January presentation with this opening: “My name is Margie and I am a name gatherer!”) I am following the suggestions found in Angela McGhie’s Adventures in Genealogy Education blog entry of Jun 6th: “Elizabeth Shown Mills Ten-point Study Blueprint”. This was my inspiration for my own learning and the basis for sharing with my society. Dee, your posts show how passionate you are about professional genealogy. My goal is to learn from all of you and incorporate what I am learning into my own research and then pass that experience along to my society members. I and not trying to steal anything from any of you but rather learning, using, digesting, incorporating and then sharing what I learn so others will also strive to higher standards in their genealogical research. Thomas, thanks for your input; you kept me from cancelling my next presentation because I didn’t think I was being “original” enough. Like you, I listen, read, watch tons of webinars, search out info online, in magazines, anywhere someone is presenting good methods and principles I am not familiar with. I then digest what has been presented, incorporate what I have learned into my own personal research, and, finally, share what I have learned with others. Learning is a process (as you all know) and teaching what I learn is the best way for me to really understand and incorporate these new ideas into my own work. Like you, “I let the work of others inspire me.” And lastly, Melissa, THANK YOU! I don’t know what an OP is, but I believe you are referring to me. I am the education chair for our small local society--abt 125 members with less than 40 attending general meetings. I introduced the position when I was president and then quickly accepted the chairmanship when my term ended. I love teaching; I want people to understand and practice good genealogical research principles. I have easily presented well over 100 talks; all of them original ideas based on my own experiences coupled with ideas gleaned as described above. This is the first presentation where I have used so many quotes from others. But, as explained above, it is because I am outlining the path I have laid for myself in my quest to be a better genealogist. If I can get just one person to start planning their research, recording their positive and negative search results, reading NGSQ or taking time to learn better methodology instead of finding just one more name, then I have done my job. Thanks to you all who are helping me become a better genealogist. And, because of you and my new goals, I am attending APG’s PMC next month. I can hardly wait! Margie in Washington State

Yep. Where on earth did I find that?!?! I have more than a couple of those from years ago.... Beth Foulk also has a great course called "If Only I'd Known!: Beginner Geneaolgy Mistakes" on FS. Her lists are the story of my early genealogy forays many years ago. I also love the 'Rubik's Cube' series.... Thanks.

Connie, I am saving your message, and will try Multi-Row Toolbar and Xmarks. I did not download the Relatively Curious toolbar because I read the information about it and discovered that they will want to use "push" technology to put messages on my browser that I may not want to be bothered with. I just never have cared for the "push" idea. But with your arrangement, I'll be able to go quickly to the places I want to go on a regular basis, and may also employ your idea of replacing the blog reader with the toolbar.

Dave, I am so sorry to hear about the problems you had with the toolbar. I should have stated that I am using IE8 and there were several items (those pesky extras that always seem to come along with free downloads) that I had to skip or say no to (and I did not download anything other than the toolbar); I also told it not to change my home page. Luckily, I didn't encounter any freezes during the download process, so I guess I was lucky. I have been using the toolbar today and still find it useful for me, especially since my favorites list has gotten unruly. I have heard so many stories about problems with IE9 that I just haven't gone to it yet. I wonder if the download problems have anything to do with the IE version? -----Original Message----- From: transitional-genealogists-forum-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:transitional-genealogists-forum-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Dave Robison Sent: Saturday, February 02, 2013 3:51 PM To: transitional-genealogists-forum@rootsweb.com Subject: [TGF] Relatively Curious Toolbar I feel compelled to share my experience!

Thanks Cathy! I guess I wasn't clear enough.
