Improving Your WorldConnect Searches WorldConnect is one of the many RootsWeb programs and databases included in the "Search RootsWeb.com" metasearch engine found at the top of the main RootsWeb page: http://www.rootsweb.com/ Therefore, you might assume that if you typed a name into that search box and didn't get the matches you were hoping to see, that the information isn't to be found in WorldConnect. Not necessarily. That's what Sam SPEEDWELL had always thought, as he zipped through his busy days and tried to make the most of his limited time in researching his family history online. Then one day he decided to slow down and explore directly by starting on the main WorldConnect page at: http://wc.rootsweb.com/ to see if he could learn more by performing more detailed searches there. Sam had been researching his English and Scotch-Irish ancestors on his father's side of the family, including the surnames SPEEDWELL, ROBINSON, THOMPSON, DICKINSON, and FOTHERGILL. On his mother's side he had studied his Irish lines including CASSIDY, RYAN, and O'NEAL. As Sam glanced over the various search options on the main WorldConnect page he scrolled down until he found the option: "or -- Find databases containing a list of surname(s)." This sounded promising to Sam because he could list a few of his ancestors' surnames in hopes of locating those trees that might have the greatest chance of matching his specific interconnected lines. So he typed in ROBINSON THOMPSON DICKINSON, which were three lines from his father's side of the family that had intermarried. He focused his search on a group of surnames found in the same branch of his family tree. The likelihood that someone who included all three of these surnames in their family tree was researching the same lines he was, would seem to be much greater than if someone was merely researching ROBINSON alone. Sam knew that searching for combinations of surnames and family groups, rather than one surname at a time, increases the chances of finding others tracking the same families. The surname-matching feature returns results based on degree of relevancy to all of the surnames listed in the search terms. This means that the first listings in the results will include more occurrences of the surnames of interest than those lower down in the rankings. Only databases that include all of the surnames you list will be included. Sam was careful not to include too many surnames in his search, as he knew it might result in missing matches in which he was interested. His FOTHERGILL and SPEEDWELL ancestors had married into the other lines more recently so it was less likely that many others would have included them in their files. At a genealogy seminar Sam learned that the further back in time your ancestors lived, the greater number of descendants they are likely to have who might be researching them today. Looking for current or living relatives in a search of a genealogical database such as WorldConnect where most facts about the living are privatized is not as productive as searching for earlier lines. For example, John ALDEN and Priscilla MULLINS, a renowned Mayflower couple, married shortly after their arrival in America in 1620. They had 10 children, and as a result many researchers can trace their lineage back to this pair. But, for Sam to find others who might be researching his Richard RYAN who married Kate CASSIDY in 1850 and had only two children, it might not be so easy. When you search WorldConnect/Ancestry World Tree for matching surnames, the results page indicates how many matching databases were found: For example: "Displaying documents 1-25 of 7,449" means that 7,449 matches to all the surnames you listed were found (i.e. each of the surnames is found in these 7,449 databases) and the first 25 (most relevant 25) are being displayed on page one (with links to the remaining pages). Sam looked at his other search options after reviewing, and making note of, the promising databases he found through the matching surnames search. He knew his uncle, Sean O'NEAL, had placed some of the research he had done into their mutual Irish lines on WorldConnect -- but Sam had never located his file from the metasearch searches and he wasn't sure if his uncle had included the RYAN and CASSIDY lines or not. Since Sam had Sean's name, his e-mail address, and the title of the database he had submitted, "O'NEALs and related families of Dublin, Ireland, and New York City, USA," he was able to search for Sean's database by doing a Keyword search on any one of those items. To do a Keyword search, Sam looked for the option: "or -- Find a specific database by keyword." Keyword searching enables you to find a database by the submitter's name, e-mail address, or database title even if you don't know the surnames to look for or URL (Web address) of the database. Once Sam had found his uncle Sean's database he easily navigated to their mutual entries of interest -- the O'NEALs. After locating the entries that matched his own family lines, Sam noticed yet another search option on the individual record page for each entry. Down near the bottom of each page is an amber-colored icon that looks like a pedigree form with a clickable link that says: Search WorldConnect. Sam was viewing a page for James O'NEAL when he decided to click on the Search WorldConnect link and instantly he was presented with a list of all of the names matching James O'NEAL in the WorldConnect database. Sam was then able to scroll through these names for any matching his James O'NEAL. Since there were quite a few listings for James O'NEAL, Sam decided to use the Advanced Search box at the bottom of the first page of matches to narrow down the "hits" by limiting the matches to James O'NEALs who were born and died in New York, USA. Take your WorldConnect searches to a new level by trying out the matching surname and keyword searches and by exploring the Search WorldConnect link on each individual entry in a file of interest. Some of your ancestors may be waiting for you to find them. http://wc.rootsweb.com/ * * * 1b. EDITOR'S DESK. Some Sites Worth Seeing TAK.

TIPS FROM READERS Throwing Some Light on Names Searches By Marybeth Nightingale I have been researching the NIGHTINGALES who emigrated from Cambridgeshire England in 1832. They eventually settled in America. I used the family Bible record for clues about vital events and was able to find the family in the 1840 census in Evansville, [Vanderburgh County] Indiana and then again in the 1870 census. For months I tried locating them on the census records for 1850 and 1860, but found nothing. From a RootsWeb Review tip I read about dropping the surname and using only the first name. Like magic I found my family. The ancestor I was looking for was named Moses NIGHTINGALE, and he was the son of Robert. The census enumerator had crossed the "l" making the name NIGHTINGATE. With a long name such as ours and two "i's" to dot and a "t" to cross, the enumerator's pen inadvertently slid across the final "l" -- making the name NIGHTINGATE. Out of curiosity I checked the census for other NIGHTINGATES. There was one other and I suspect the "l" was crossed in error there as well. In the 1850 census, I found Moses' family, his father, mother and siblings. That was the beginning of many new pieces of information. Now I have them all the way back to their home in Cambridgeshire. * * * Have you solved a pesky research problem? Share it with the RootsWeb Review readers. Send to: Editor-RWR@rootsweb.com 2. Connecting Through RootsWeb. Thanks for sharing your stories. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Making Someone's Day By Kathie Marynik of Granite Bay, California I enjoy browsing in antique stores and have gotten into the habit of buying reasonably priced old photographs of children. Some have the name(s) of the subject(s) on the back and for those, I post queries online in an effort to return the picture to the family. This has been successful in several instances, and one particular connection has stayed in my mind. The surname of the little boy in the photo was rather unusual. A woman e-mailed me about my posting but was uncertain who the boy was, but thought there was a family connection simply because of the rarity of the name and the geographic location. However, there was something about the tone of her e-mail (kind of like she was doing me a big favor by taking the picture off my hands) that bothered me. However, I politely replied and offered to send her the photo for reimbursement of the photo's purchase price plus the mailing expense, a total of about $6 or $7. No reply. Well, that was fine with me. Several months later, a snail mail letter was received that came from a man whose friend had seen my posting online. The man was so excited to hear of this old photo because it was of his late father, and the son didn't have any pictures of his dad as a child. Needless to say, I was delighted to ship the photograph back to its rightful family -- free. * * * Do you have an online "connecting" story to share? Send to: Editor-RWR@rootsweb.com 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]. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Futility of Genealogy By Sherman Watkins I just realized that genealogy/family history is a futile task, somewhat akin to eating soup with a fork. My sister sent me 30 names of living relatives, none closer than 2nd cousins. However, instead of knowing more than I did, I now know less. For example, I already knew one of these second cousins. Knowing his name and his parents, all I lacked was his birth information. Through my sister, I now know the names of his children including his daughter's married name. That tells me this second cousin married, had children, and one of those children also married. I still don't have his birth information, but I now know I'm missing his marriage information, his wife's name and birth information, his children's birth information, his daughter's marriage information, and his son-in-law's first name and birth information. I went from missing one little piece of information to missing nine pieces of information. All this times 29 additional names and you can see how much bigger this made my genealogy soup bowl. Unfortunately, I can't stop chowing down with my fork knowing that occasionally a noodle or piece of meat might float by. My sympathies to others similarly afflicted. * * * Giving Credit By Margaret Clarke As someone who has been working on and off over quite a few years now to build up a family tree, I find it quite simply bad manners for someone to take my research and not credit me with it. It is no great shakes to say, "Yes, I have gathered this information together -- but I couldn't have done it without the help of xyz." Think of it as your own Oscar speech and how you were taught to say "thank you" when you were a child. As an analyst by profession, I know how important the validation of information is. In my work I am also careful not to ride on the back of someone else's work, but to give credit where credit is due. I carry this principle into my genealogy and always try to name my sources of the information. This not only gives that person the recognition they deserve for the efforts they have made, but provides validation for that information for other researchers. So far I have only had one negative experience via my "Online Tree," but have heard from others how dispiriting it can be. I once removed my tree from RootsWeb in a fit of pique, but then thought "Why should the majority of us who have been so supportive in the exchange of information be penalised for the actions of one ignorant person?" Therefore, I say to those who grab without compliment, then bleat when such as I complain, wait until you have spent 15 years or more grinding through microfiche and dusty books until your eyes burn, trudging from archive offices to libraries, scrabbling through overgrown and muddy graveyards (and falling into the odd sunken plot) and traveling around at unearthly hours to make the most of a day. Then you have earned the right. Until then be grateful and give credit where credit is due. Good manners cost nothing. * * * Saving Documents By Joan M. Alyea My birth mother divorced my birth father when I was three years old. I have recorded his name, age, etc. in my family records, but have never researched that family. My mother remarried during World War II, to a man I had known all my life. His sister and my mother were best friends, and his parents had always treated me as their grandchild. My mother saved my original birth certificate, but when my stepfather adopted me when I was 11 years old, a new birth certificate was issued for me. I changed not only my surname, but my middle name from my birth father's middle name to the name of my stepfather's sister. I have researched the family of my stepfather extensively, as I was always considered an integral part of that family. However, I am very grateful to my mother, now deceased, for saving that original birth certificate. Although my mother apparently destroyed every photo of my birth father, probably in anger, that one important document -- my original birth certificate was saved. For that, I am extremely grateful to her. * * * Digital Photographing Rules By Steve Gauss I have found that many U.S. government institutions (National Archives, vital records bureaus, for example) allow digital photographing (or scanning) of the records, but private institutions (DAR, PEM) do not. In some cases the professed reason is that the copying machines are a source of revenue. Usually the policy is clearly stated if photographing is not permitted, but I agree that you should always ask. I have also found that the rules are sometimes open to interpretation by the person on duty. * * * Mosaic Trees and Branches By Shelley Martinez Ms. Dorfler's letter about adding a family member with a different racial designation made me think about something I had not considered. I guess I've taken it for granted that my grandchildren and great- grandchildren and other descendants would know our racial background. Of course, I have no way of knowing what information will be passed down, but if any one of them is curious about their ancestors, I think they should truly know their background. My husband and I are a mixed-race couple. While I self-identify as black, my family has a varied mixture of African, English/Irish and Native [American] ancestry. It's possible my grandchildren and their descendants will not be black. I don't ever want them to feel shame about being black, white or Hispanic. I guess I need to make notations in my genealogy software, but I don't recall that being an option apart from physical description. I just started using Family Tree Maker. Most of my data was input into the Ancestry Family Tree software from Ancestry.com. Can anyone tell me how one designates race in both products? * * * Divvying up Family Photographs By Arlene Vittetoe In reading about the cousin who divided the pictures and made copies for others, has anyone ever discussed what is the usual way for a family to divide the pictures left behind by a parent? I have always believed that to divide items would be the proper thing to do, and if someone wanted a copy of what you were given, either they or yourself could see that it was done? I am about to be faced with this problem and wondered what was correct? There are three children with lots of grandchildren and great-grandchildren and I am of the belief that they should be split three ways but would appreciate readers' comments. 8. Humor/Humour: No Finery or Frypans Allowed --------------------------------------------- Thanks to Alice Duncan, who submitted this newspaper article, which originally appeared in the Redding (California) Record Searchlight. Today is Wednesday, March 6, 2002. On this date: In 1902, Mrs. John Martin sued Jerry Culverhouse and the Weaverville Stage Co. for $25,000. Mrs. Martin and her ward were dropped off in Weaverville in the early hours of a stormy morning. Culverhouse refused to open the stage office for her to escape the rain, and she became ill as a result. Mrs. Martin also sued Mr. and Mrs. Morris for $10,000 after they wouldn't admit her into their hospital on the grounds of questionable morals based on her wearing silk underpants and carrying her own frying pan. * * * Found a humorous entry in census, parish, church, etc. records?
