Sharing Data: What Genealogy Is All About Most of us have found at least a few cousins through the RootsWeb/ Ancestry message boards or the RootsWeb mailing lists after posting genealogical queries on these resources. The usual course of discussions with newfound cousins begins on the lists and boards and often migrates to private e-mail exchanges between the two of you and then possibly among a group of researchers -- discussing in depth the lines of descent from your common ancestor, Johan Frederick HASSELBERGER. During the course of these discussions much valuable information is exchanged, often including the text of wills, scans of signature comparisons of Johan Frederick himself, family Bible records from an old HASSELBERGER Bible hand-carried on the ship from Germany to America in 1767, family census data, and sometimes individual family-held journals or letters passed from generation to generation. When we are on the receiving end of this data sent privately, we often print it out and also save a copy on our computer hard drive for safekeeping. However, as time goes by, our files grow, filing cabinets overflow, and we discover our filing system isn't quite as foolproof as we had originally thought it would be. Our old faithful computer turns into a doorstop, having been replaced by a newer, faster, and larger model. Perhaps some old family files have been forgotten or no longer easily accessible -- even you could remember what you named them and where you stored them. Let's face it -- we've all found ourselves in a situation where we wished we could retrieve the information we've exchanged privately with fellow researchers over the years and found it was no longer easily accessible or we simply could no longer find it -- anywhere. Think how much better it would have been if our research and discussion had been carried out completely on the mailing list or message board or we had placed the information on a webpage or into a database and placed it all online at RootsWeb as we went along, so that we could always access it and find it anytime in the future. If placed on a list or board or into a user-contributed database at RootsWeb, the information would also be completely searchable. In addition to the cousins who shared in the initial discussion, we might find the publicly posted information would attract new researchers who might have with additional information. So, how and where should you place your data online at RootsWeb? Consider the nature and amount of information you have gathered, as well as the format in which you have recorded it. If you have just a few records -- such as death notices, funeral cards, obituaries, baptismal records, and marriage notices, and the data you have collected is in free-flowing text in sentences and paragraphs, the best place to share it is on the appropriate message boards. These boards are not just for queries -- your bits and pieces of data might be just what someone has been seeking for years. You can even attach scanned documents, signatures, and pictures to data posts on the boards. Start here to find an appropriate message board: http://boards.rootsweb.com/ Use the FIND A BOARD search box or navigate through the index pages. On the other hand, if you have a substantial collection of single-type genealogical data (i.e. birth records, death records, cemetery records), and if your data is formatted in consistent, labeled columns or fields (or you are willing to make it so), you may wish to submit it to the user-contributed database section where it will be made searchable within a master database of similar type records. For additional information see: http://userdb.rootsweb.com/submit/ If your family history material is in a genealogy application, the best and easiest place to share it is at WorldConnect. Most genealogy programs can convert it to a GEDCOM file format, which is required for submission to WorldConnect Go to http://wc.rootsweb.com/ Click on the START HERE link to submit your family tree. What if your genealogical data doesn't fit into any of these categories or if you would like to display it in a unique format? Then consider creating your own free genealogy-related website at RootsWeb by requesting what's called a "Freepages Account." http://accounts.rootsweb.com/ By placing your data on RootsWeb for everyone to share in your treasures, you are helping others to find the information they need, enabling them to find you and other newfound cousins with which to share their data, but also, you are helping yourself, so that you don't fall victim to the age-old dilemma of "now, where did I put that file?" Your data is always findable and retrievable -- if you have placed a copy on RootsWeb. * * * 1b. EDITOR'S DESK. Sites Worth Seeing All Aboard.

TIPS FROM READERS Digging in Land Records By Valerie Vesper I have obtained so many good tips from RootsWeb Review that I wanted to write and share one. In my current position as a loan analyst, I regularly access property assessment information online on county websites. This is public information in the U.S. and you don't have to pay a subscription or anything to access it. I'm not sure for other countries what equivalents might be available. However, here in the U.S. you can typically find the county site by doing an Internet search on the county name, state, and "property assessment." There are a few counties that don't offer this online option and the amount of information varies significantly. For most counties, you can search by property address, parcel number, etc. Generally, you can see at least the current assessed value and current owners. But more interesting is that in many cases you can read some description of the improvements to the property. So, for example, you can find the year the structure was built (and tell if it's the same house your ancestors lived in, worshipped in, or what have you), number of bedrooms, type of construction (frame, brick, etc.), and so forth. I've had variable success -- I was not quite bright enough (yet) to figure out the map parcel numbers from an old plat map of Wisconsin to find my WESTON ancestors. However, for the CANDISHES and KELLOGGS in Nebraska, I actually found online photos (provided by the county assessor for each property) of the homes they lived in during the early 1900s! Imagine that I do this every day and never thought about doing it for my ancestors' addresses before! * * * Suspicion Meters By Ted Pack tedpack@thevision.net http://www.tedpack.org/ In a perfect world, every good genealogy program would come with an automatic suspicion meter. Unfortunately, our world isn't perfect, so you have to use the manual model. It's right there between your ears. The family legend, buoyed by a similarity in names, has you related to a Civil War general, a President, an outlaw? Your meter's needle should quiver. Great-Great-Uncle Wilbur married a "Cherokee Princess"? Quiver again. Your immigrant ancestor was from a family with huge estates and noble blood but was exiled for poaching the King's game? The needle should bend itself around the peg. A good general knowledge of history helps keep your meter tuned. When I was eating my lunch out of a tin box with Roy Rogers on the lid, I'd sometimes tell my classmates that my first great-grandfather was named Robert Lee PACK. Many of them asked if he'd fought in the Civil War, just like his namesake. No; he was born in 1863. His brother, Jefferson Davis PACK, was born in 1861. Robert E. LEE may have had a comrade in arms from the Mexican War who thought enough of him to name a son after him, but chances are someone named "Robert Lee SMITH", "Abraham Lincoln JOHNSON", Ulysses Grant MILLER" or "Jefferson Davis JABLONSKI" was born in 1861 or later. In the same vein, but a different war, there is some questionable genealogy on the Internet tracing my PACK line back to a George Washington PACK born in 1755. The father of the USA made his name after 1776. Note that I'm talking about suspicions, not facts. LEE is the 24th most common surname in the United States, according to the U.S. Census bureau, http://www.census.gov/genealogy/www/namesearch.html and "Robert" is the third-most popular given name for males. Someone probably named their child "Robert Lee" after their father-in-law in 1823. I just sneaked a peak at RootsWeb's World Connect, http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi It lets you leave the surname and/or given name blank. I picked an appropriate birth year and set the range to +/- 20 years to get a 40- year range of data. There were 1,191 entries for Robert Lees born 1820-1860 and 23,954 in the period 1860-1900. I'd bet some of those 1,191 were legitimate, but others were not. Migration patterns help. If you see someone born in Massachusetts before 1620, they are either an Indian or a mistake. The original 13 colonies expanded, slowly. Ohio's first European settlement was Marietta, founded in 1788. Nevertheless, I found 11,687 entries in WorldConnect for people born in Ohio 1745-1785. There were people with European roots born in California as early as 1776. They had Hispanic surnames. Most of the boys grew up to be superb horsemen. If you see an Anglo born in the Golden State before 1849, be suspicious. (Suspicious, not convinced it is an error. There was a trickle of non-Hispanic immigrants starting about 1820.) Some of the mistakes you see are people not thinking; Malinda McCORKLE is born in Pennsylvania or Virginia in 1780, her parents move west to Ohio when she is 12, she marries Eltweed POMEROY in 1798; she is recorded as being "of" Marietta when she weds, and someone thinks she was born there. Other mistakes come from people filling in the birth place when they mean the death place; it happens, especially early in the morning, before the first cup of coffee, when the kids are asleep and you can have the Internet all to yourself. So -- be careful, be suspicious, and remember your history. 2. Connecting Through RootsWeb. Thanks for sharing your stories. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Connecting Ribbon of Friendship By Colleen M. Eagan It all began with a mailing list query. As I started to write my mother's DOLL family history in the summer of 2001, I wanted to begin with the history of her ancestral village -- Erzweiler, Germany. As it turned out, my large research database really didn't include much history of the village. What to do? I typed a query to the Rhineland-Pfalz mailing list for anyone who could point me in the direction of a history of Erzweiler, Germany. Each day the replies came into my inbox. Seems everyone on the list wanted to help. This was going to be a piece of cake. However, many replies told me I was not looking for Erzweiler, but Ellweiler and other variants of the "weiler" villages. Good grief. Why didn't anyone else know about Erzweiler? The next day, my inbox held only one e-mail from a woman who told me to check the website of the U.S. Forces Military Training Area at Baumholder, Germany. She had once lived in the area and thought I might pick up some information about Erzweiler there. There was my validation that Erzweiler was a known quantity. I wish I could thank that woman in person. She doesn't know what a serendipitous adventure she started for me with her kind suggestion. Alas, the military website was shut down to escape that summer's computer worm circling the world. Not to be deterred from my mission, I surfed around and found a website for the local Baumholder VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) Post whose president had his e-mail address listed. What a wonderful man! He answered my query immediately and gave me the e-mail address of the Public Affairs Office (PAO) at the military training area. The PAO officer replied immediately, too. Yes, he had a book that included a history of Erzweiler and sent me those pages which contained lots of pictures. This was a bonus I had not considered and delighted in my good luck. However, the history was written in German. Not to look a gift horse, I mentally noted the local university had a German depart- ment and knew translating the history would have to be my next step. I also had several copies of microfilm pages of old German script from the Ulmet parish church that I knew contained my DOLL ancestors from Erzweiler. They needed to be sorted out and translated, too. My little history project was ballooning before my eyes. Unknown to me, the PAO officer had not forgotten my request. Ordinarily, he has at least one or two contacts to offer persons who inquire after their ancestors in the area, but he had only one name to give me. My luck ran out there, as I had no reply from this one contact. Coincidentally, a young man whose name was DOLL, who also worked in the sports division of the training area, happened to stop by the PAO office that summer. He was given my name and e-mail address as a possible connection to my DOLL family. He was not into genealogy and did not know if his family had come from Erzweiler. He told the PAO he might contact me. While in Tennessee on a research trip for another family line, I received an e- mail from Joachim DOLL. He wondered if we might be related, although he didn't know much beyond his great-grandfather who was from a different village. I had documented my DOLL line back to 1647 and he could go back to 1745, so we had a gap of about 100 years between us. The first thing I learned was that the village of Erzweiler no longer existed. It had been dismantled in 1974 when the military training area expanded. This expansion process had been going on since the 1940s when the United States had taken over the training area from the Germans after World War II. Gradually several villages had been dismantled and the residents moved to other towns and cities. After a few e-mails flew back and forth between my house and Germany, I asked Joachim if he would be interested in finding his ancestors and explained about the Ulmet church records and the Erzweiler history translations. He said he would give it a try. Unknown to me at that time, his DOLL family -- Uncle Ludwig, Aunt Ilse, and his mother Lotte, to name a few -- had become interested in this project, They had no idea they might have relatives in the United States. For the next few months we exchanged many e-mails as Joachim translated and learned more and I made more copies and mailed them to Germany. The spidery old German script generated many discussions. Joachim joined a history and genealogy club, gathering more information and help from his new club friends. Uncle Ludwig helped, as well as a former teacher. Seven months into the project, I received an e-mail that said "great news, we are related -- I found my connection to the Erzweiler DOLL line." We had a common ancestor in Peter DOLL, born ca. 1611 in Erzweiler. Joachim's line descended from the youngest son of this Peter DOLL, and my line descended from the eldest son. The translations continued to fill in all the DOLL family groups within the Ulmet parish records. After 266 years, our family was back together after separating when my ancestor left Erzweiler for William Penn's colony in 1737. In May of last year my husband and I went to Germany to meet my DOLL cousins. They rolled out the red carpet for us, feeding us Palatine cooking, showing us around the area and visiting what remains of the village of Erzweiler. The cemetery, a small storage building, a memorial fountain and a chapel are all that remains of the DOLL ancestral village. We visited the Ulmet church where our DOLL ancestors worshipped. It was a poignant moment. Joachim DOLL had organized a DOLL reunion while we were there and I met at least 65 more DOLL cousins that evening. There was a story of my search and the DOLL reunion in the Baumholder and Kusel newspapers. Of course, I could not leave Germany without meeting Mr. Bernd MAI, the PAO officer who was so helpful to my search. Joachim Doll calls our project a connecting ribbon of friendship. We are amazed at the serendipitous "twilight zone" happenings that put us together and wondering which ancestors decided to be found. My mother's family history is now complete and in a new book. Thanks RootsWeb, for your easy access to the world. It was one of the greatest adventures in genealogy for both me and my newfound German cousins. 3.

FROM ROOTSWEB REVIEW'S BOTTOMLESS MAILBAG [Editor's note: The opinions expressed herein are those of the authors and are not necessarily those of the editor or of RootsWeb.com]. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Persistence Pays Off in Pacific Northwest By Shara Forrister in Arizona After reading Diane Arsenault's article on Soundex limitations in the RootsWeb Review (16 June), I was inspired to once again search for my grandparents in the 1930 census, the first census they would have been alive for, despite my numerous frustrations in previous searches of the 1930 census index. My CHURCH grandfather was finally located in "West Swan Village," Yakima County, Washington, a nonexistent village. The enumerator makes no mention of "West Swan" on the census itself, describing the enumeration district as the "Christian Mission _west_ of White Swan." My THRUSH grandmother was located with her parents under the surname THUISH, which does not even have a similar Soundex code. The census itself shows THRUSH relatively clearly, though the enumerator's "R" and "U" could be confused for a "U" and "I." I finally found her by looking for her first name, no surname, and her birthplace. Similar searches for her parents using first name, birth place and no surname, had been unsuccessful. Her half sister was recorded as "stepson" and "M(ale)" -- though I've never heard of a boy with the middle name of Beth, which the enumerator listed correctly. My great-grandfather Cecil MYERS was located in Oregon as Casil MYERS, age 24. His correct age should have been 29. Only when you blow the census image up to 100 percent resolution can you almost see that it's 29, not 24. (Cecil MYERS recently passed away at the honorable age of 102 years, 10 months). I'd also been looking for him in Washington, because that's where my grandmother and her siblings were all born. My grandmother and her sisters were listed by first name and middle initial and two of them have only ever gone by their middle names, never using their first names. Finally, my OLDFIELD grandfather was found with his parents in Yakima County, Washington -- the only one of my four grandparents to experience no errors in the indexing of the 1930 census. Not sure why I hadn't found him in earlier searches, but I guess one out of four "ain't bad." * * * The Case of the Reluctant Cousins By Stephanie Carson Feldman I have never had a cousin call me screaming, but I did organize a reunion awhile back. I won't name names, but this branch of my family had also drifted apart, probably the 1970s was the last time we had all been together. When I started looking for cousins for this large event, two siblings disappeared. Each had one daughter and that was all. I looked long and hard for them, posting on boards, forums, and such. One found my post and was very excited and she also had some missing family info. The other still remained lost, so after some obituary searching, and one cousin's old address book, we found the other missing cousin. We decided to go visit her, and it was pleasant, but no more. I actually found some phone numbers for more of this line, again, a short pleasant talk, and no more. I have never been entirely sure what to make of this one quiet line, while the rest of the cousins are anything but. I have sent info to them, photos, even a large genealogy book, but there never is any more than one-way communication. Perhaps they are just not interested. I did discover one more fact that might have something to do with it. One of their ancestors -- not mine -- is extremely wealthy. Perhaps they think I'm fishing for donations? Ah well! Try to focus on the cousins who are so happy to be your cousins and so happy that you have helped them find the roots they never knew. If you count the happy ones and compare them to the grumpy ones, you'll see who is really the stronger! Happy hunting! 8. Humor/Humour: Too Much Spare Time ------------------------------------ Thanks to: Marie The 1920 census accurately lists my grandfather's occupation as "engineer," then lists my grandmother's occupation as "none" -- right above the names of her 10 children, ages 2 to 18 -- all living at home! 9.
