Ann: A couple of ideas to try are: 1. Look in the National Archives UK "Access to Archives" catalog to see if you can discover which, if any of the local Yorkshire Archives or Local Studies Libraries might contain the Dewsbury Coroner's records for 1893. All regional archives are supposed to be included in this master catalog but I can tell you from experience that not everything from every regional archive is included. 2. The death might have been reported in the newspaper. findmypast.co.uk is available at Family History centers free of charge and this site now includes newspapers. Two Leeds papers and two Yorkshire papers are covered in 1893. Alternatively you can use www/findmypast.co.uk or www/britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/ online. Short term subscriptions are available at both these sites.

A very good example of the selective nature of most imaging efforts and the fact that there are many records that are never imaged. This is why we cannot rely solely on any one source, even as wonderful as the FHL sources are. best regards, Dee ----- Original Message ----- From: AGilchrest@aol.com To: transitional-genealogists-forum@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, January 7, 2013 7:50:27 AM Subject: [TGF] Yorkshire England Coroners Inquest I have a death record from the Dewsbury PRO, in the box for informant is "Certificate received from Thomas Taylor Coroner for Yorkshire Inquest held 15 May 1893" I searched the catalogue at FamilySearch but didn't find any records from the Coroner.

Hot linking is the embedding of an image from someone else's web page in yours. It's not so much the bandwidth cost that bothers web hosters, although that's an issue. It's that their work is displayed without credit to them, *and* they are paying for you to do it to them. That just rankles. In addition to what Thomas said about the image disappearing, they can do worse. When a major magazine did that to me, i replaced the image with one that had text in it naming the magazine as thieves. I don't know if they ever realized it. I sent them email, but never got a response. Someone who is really vindictive could replace the image with porn. I've seen it done. Point being, hot linking can turn out really badly for the hot linker. However, hot linking does not refer to linking to a web page. That is generally referred to as deep linking, when it isn't a web site's landing page. Phil.

I know "hot linking" from website and blog design: most sites discourage hot linking which means that rather than you storing the image on your own server, you create an image link to another site's server. This is discouraged because you are forcing that other site to increase its bandwidth (which costs money) rather than you increasing your own site's bandwidth to display the image. If you've gotten permission to use an image, I would do the following: download the image, host it on your site or blog, and then include in the caption the phrase listing the source and that permission was given. You also might ask that site for clarification as to what they understand is "hot linking" Finally, one of the pitfalls of hotlinking is this: that site could remove the image, rename it or move it and that means you have just an image frame on your site with no image . .. Hope this makes sense.

Hi As a past CPA, my advice to you would be first to determine if you want to be a cash or accrual basis to account for your business revenue and expenses. Many sole proprietorships use cash basis. It is easy to understand: it is income to you when received and an expense when paid (whether by cash, check, credit card, etc). In this system there are no accounts receivable for income due from clients, no accounts payable for expenses due. Another important point to know is that you cannot switch back and forth as it suits you. You must choose one and stick to it. If you do change accounting systems, then you must inform the IRS. As others have pointed out, the IRS has information to help you choose. If you do not understand the difference, I would suggest working with a local CPA to set up an accounting system for your business. It is worth the money to do so.

I'm not a tax professional. I will say the money I spend for my CPA is one of my essential business expenses and this is not an area where I would scrimp. There are some good docs on the IRS web site and maybe also on the Small Business administration site. A search in the archives for references to /Self-Employed Tax Solutions///by June Walker (Globe Pequot Press, 2009) will also turn up some useful discussions. This book was discussed and recommended last year or the year before. It would have been very useful to have when I was starting my business.

As Phyllis noted, it depends first on whether you use cash basis or accrual basis accounting. If the former, then your income is definitely 2013. If the latter, and the work was completed AND delivered in 2012, then it's 2012 income (balanced by an Accounts Receivable entry). As it happens I am a tax professional as well as genealogist, so feel free to email me privately if you have any non-public questions. I'll answer simple questions for no charge, and I offer a discount to APG members. Hope this answered your question!

I will second Patti's recommendation. TNG is very good. Honestly, I wish other non-web-based software could incorporate some of its features.

It all depends on if your business is cash based (when payment actually received) or accrual based (when income is earned ie the work is done). Most genealogists I know, including myself, are cash based. I have not thoroughly read through this link (my disclaimer) but Wikipedia gives an overview of the differences: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_cash_and_accrual_methods_of_accounting] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_cash_and_accrual_methods_of_accounting Also, it is common in the first year of a business to have a loss. You can amortize the start-up loss over a period of time. I would seek professional tax advice, especially in your first year of business. Maybe other tax professionals can weigh in too.
