EDITOR'S DESK: Peering into Britons' Past BRITONS' COOL ANCIENT ROOTS. Despite invasions by Saxons, Romans, Vikings, Normans, and others, the genetic makeup of today's white Britons is much the same as it was 12,000 ago, a new book claims. About 80 percent of Britons' genes come from hunter-gatherers who came in immediately after the Ice Age, according the author, David Miles. http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/07/0719_050719_britishgene. html * * * HEATON NORRIS: HISTORY OF ST. THOMAS CHURCH. Heaton Norris is a mainly residential area of Stockport, England bordering on Heaton Moor and Heaton Chapel. "Heaton Norris was never a pretty area," Clem Rutter says, "and is still merely a suburb of Stockport five miles from Manchester town centre." However, this website gives some understanding of the last 200 years in this area. It talks of people and their rectors, and the ebb and flow between low and high church. It sees Manchester develop from being a small parish to a diocese, the coming of the railway, the placing of a station near the chapel, the station being named after the church then the area being named after the station; the building fund; and the fight to maintain the attendance. All in all it gives background to the times lived in by folks who may just be names on your family tree. http://www.btinternet.com/~shawweb/stephen/thomas0.htm * * * 1b. TIPS FROM READERS: Creating Off-site Backups By Nona Lightner I just read the tip from a reader about having backups externally as well as off-site. I firmly believe that backups should not be saved on the hard drive--too easy for the computer to crash, and there go the backups! I have stuff on floppies and CDs. As to my genealogy, each of my three grandsons has a binder for genealogy with his personal information in it -- including family group sheet and pedigree chart. There is a pocket in the binders for a floppy backup. That way, I have an off-site back up for genealogy -- and I get the floppies periodically to update them for the boys. * * * 1c. USING ROOTSWEB: Striving for Perfection You might say Paula PERFECT fits her name, well, perfectly. She wants everything to be error-free. When she married Stewart STICKLER all of her friends laughed and knew this was a marriage made in heaven when Paula became Paula (PERFECT) STICKLER. To say that Paula is obsessive/compulsive about perfection is an understatement. Her favorite pastime is family history research and Paula's friends have an arsenal of "Perfect Paula" stories about her attempts to achieve perfection in genealogical record keeping. There's the tale about her scribbling in a history book to correct a typographical error. Then there was the time Paula, flashlight and tools in hand, was apprehended by the night watchman at the local cemetery where her great-grandparents are buried. She was caught red-handed trying to "correct" the spelling on her great-grandfather's stone from GREEN to GREENE. The family Bible entry showed that great-grandpa GREENE had been born on March 22 and that is the day he'd always celebrated his birthday. When Paula obtained a copy of his birth certificate she noted the date of birth was listed as March 23. Now most people would just shrug off a one day difference in the birth date of an ancestor who has been dead for more than 30 years -- but not Paula. She sent in a photocopy of the Bible record along with a sworn affidavit that Silas GREENE had always celebrated his birthday on March 22nd -- and demanded that the state correct its record. A tad over the top? But look how many of us approach "errors" we find in online databases at RootsWeb. If you find a user-submitted family tree that includes your ancestor and his name is spelled GREEN when you have never seen it spelled other than GREENE, do you demand that the submitter (or worse yet RootsWeb) change the spelling? Does it really make a difference and have you considered that the submitter may well have found great-grandpa's name spelled GREEN in records he uncovered that you have not yet discovered? Name spelling variations are common in genealogical records. Only greenhorns insist on a particular spelling of their family names. It is not unusual to find an ancestor's name spelled two or more ways in the text of a deed or a will and then quite often the signature will vary from the spelling(s) in the document itself. Does it really matter whether great-grandpa was born on March 22 or March 23? Is it not more important to prove his parentage and the connection between the generations than whether he was born one minute before or after midnight on a given date? When you find online user-submitted data that conflicts with your research information, take the time to check the source of the information listed by the submitter (if provided, of course). Then, follow up by contacting the submitter to further review any serious discrepancies between your data and his. If you are unable to reach the submitter, he/she does not respond, and/or the two of you cannot come to an agreement and you feel strongly that your interpretation of the evidence needs to be represented, upload your file with sources and explanatory notes. This enables others to review the data in both files and decide for themselves which to believe. Nothing counteracts erroneous data more forcefully than having a genealogy with well- substantiated evidence and cited sources online. RootsWeb does not edit, alter or remove genealogical data from someone's online database just because you feel you can prove something is inaccurate or differs from what you have in your files. The world is filled with conflicting genealogical information -- in books, on CDs, in online files, and on tombstone inscriptions. Even official documents, such as birth records, contain inaccuracies. For those of you, like Paula (PERFECT) STICKLER, who are concerned about pinpoint accuracy in genealogical records, the starting point should be with your own database. Have you checked it to be sure it is error-free? Use the error-finding and fixing capabilities of your genealogy software program to locate inconsistencies and improbabilities. Do you have anyone in your database whose birth, marriage, and death dates are inconsistent or improbable -- such as marrying after they die, living to be 176 years old, or a woman giving birth at age three? Make certain that your database includes sources for all information. Your sources might range from a family Bible entry to a vital record, military record, or an interview with a much older cousin. All are your sources and represent how you came to know these pieces of informa- tion you have included in your file. Even thought there might be 10 incorrect (and unsourced) databases with the same individual for whom you have listed a source in your file, your inclusion of a verifiable source will help to outweigh incorrect data in the other family trees. RootsWeb's WorldConnect (http://wc.rootsweb.com/) is an excellent place to share your family tree. Combined with Ancestry World Tree for viewing and searching, it represents the largest family tree database on the Internet -- truly a place for genealogists the world over to meet and share data with their cousins. Even Paula (PERFECT) STICKLER understands the benefit of uploading her own PERFECT family tree to WorldConnect. 2. Connecting Through RootsWeb. Thanks for sharing your stories. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Emily's Journey to America by Douglas G. Storie, Sr. [Author's note: Emily CARR was my paternal grandmother. She came to North Dakota and married grandpa in 1921. She gave him two sons. In the winter of 1925, after giving birth to another boy, she died. The baby died soon thereafter too. They are buried together in a small cemetery on the North Dakota plains. I am her youngest grandchild. Through many postings on the RootsWeb message boards and countless searches at Ancestry.com and other sites, I was able to reconstruct her life and that of her family in Liverpool. I even "met" an Englishwoman via the message boards who grew up on the same street in Liverpool that grandma did. She supplied me with many of the details of the neighborhood and about lifestyles of that era. I have "met" a grandniece of Hannah BUSTON as well.] It was a cold crisp December morning in Liverpool in 1894 when Emily CARR boarded the "RMS Etruria" with her father Thomas and older brother Tom. At 8:30 the ship's whistle blew. This was a signal to the dock workers on the pier to release the lines that held the great ship to the pier. Emily and her family stood on the rear deck watching Liverpool get smaller and smaller as the ship steamed down the Mersey River to the open sea. The CARRS slept in the passenger section known as steerage. It was the cheapest fare available and the least luxurious. Unlike the cabins occupied by the passengers in first and second class the steerage passengers did not have private rooms or suites. Instead they slept on bunk beds in large rooms called berthing. These rooms were occupied by many people and offered little privacy or fresh air. Men and boys slept on one side of the ship, the women and girls slept on the other. A long hallway, known as a passageway, wound its way down the center of the ship in between the two berthing areas. Steerage passengers had to walk down this passageway to bathe and use the restroom. Emily was nine years old, her brother Tom 13. Their father had worked as a bricklayer in Liverpool. He helped build many buildings in and around the city. Now he was taking them to their new home in America. Remaining behind in England were Emily's older sister Selina and their paternal grandfather Hiram. Emily's mother had died several years prior, along with baby sister Anna, back in 1888. Once out on the open sea the ship pitched and rolled severely due to the winter weather. The ship's captain had warned the passengers that the sea between England and Ireland was rough in the winter. Emily was getting seasick as was her brother. Their father, who had previously made the trip to America, was doing just fine. By nighttime the "Etruria" had arrived and tied up to the pier at Queenstown, Ireland to drop off mail and cargo. Additionally, it picked up more passengers for the journey to America. Emily had never been to another country before. For her it was exciting to see Ireland from the deck of the ship. She giggled when an Irish girl who was about her age spoke to her on deck. She thought the girl's Irish-accented English sounded funny. One friend she made on the ship was Hannah BUTSON, an American girl from a town called Pueblo in Colorado. She told Emily of the beautiful Rocky Mountains west of her city, of the wild life in the area and of the Arkansas River that flowed through her town. Emily listened intently while Hannah told stories of her father hunting deer and antelope in the areas around Pueblo. Emily had never seen an antelope. Often the girls played catch with a leather-wrapped ball, jacks, or with their dolls. One of the ship's crew, a stoker (the crew member who shoveled coal into the ship's fires), gave the girls a piece of coal. They used it to draw a hopscotch board on the deck above berthing. Emily thought it was especially funny how she could sit in the passageway and her ball would roll from one side of the passageway to another due to the rolling of the ship. One morning Emily looked across the rails from the deck. All she saw upon the sea were waves and small chunks of ice floating on the water. The ship's captain had warned the passengers that they might see ice. The ice had broken off from large glaciers to the north. Emily felt small and insignificant as she gazed upon the sea, everywhere she looked was water and more water, no land was in sight. The next day was Christmas. Emily thought that celebrating Christmas while at sea was strange. Oh, how she wanted to be at home in Liverpool with her grandpa, sister, brother, and father to celebrate Christmas. Her father had told her not to worry he had a surprise for her. Emily liked surprises. Christmas Day arrived accompanied by snow and ice. The ship's master, Captain WALKER, had the crew rig lights on the masts and railings for the holidays. In the passageway down in steerage the immigrants had fashioned a crude Christmas tree out of scrap wood received from the crew. Many of the parents had wrapped small presents for their children. Thomas gave some English cakes and bread pudding to his children but Emily's thoughts and memory went back to Christmases in England. As the days progressed Emily noticed the ship didn't rock as much. The ocean had become calmer as they neared the eastern shores of America. One day while on deck Emily was looking west toward the horizon when she saw a dark spot. She told her father and brother, "That must be America." Thomas agreed, on his previous trip to America he had seen the shoreline and remembered how excited he'd been. Now he was excited for his children. He figured they were directly east of Massachusetts. The "Etruria" arrived in New York Harbor on New Year's Eve. Many of the immigrants were on deck to catch their first glimpse of America. They were not disappointed. Soon out of the fog became visible a shape that had become synonymous with America and her freedoms -- the Statue of Liberty. A young girl from Germany was the first to see the statue from the deck of the ship. The girl pointed and said something to her family that Emily did not understand. Emily looked in the direction the girl pointed. Then she saw the great statue for herself and felt a tingle go through her body. The ship tied up at the pier and emptied its cargo of steerage immigrants onto a ferry that took them to Ellis Island for the American immigration and medical authorities' inspections. Those passengers who traveled in the more expensive cabins and suites did not need to go through Ellis Island -- the authorities inspected them aboard the ship. Emily was worried. What if she didn't pass the entrance requirements to be allowed to stay in America? Would she be sent back to England without her father and brother? Thomas assured her she had no need to worry. The immigrant barge to Ellis Island was almost empty, it being a holiday. The three members of the CARR family entered the inspection process at Ellis Island. The main inspection building was large and imposing to young Emily. She felt herself shiver with nervousness as she carried her small bag and walked forward. Little did Thomas, Emily, or Tom know it, but even as they walked with their luggage they were being evaluated by medical and immigration personal to see if they were healthy enough to remain in America. If an immigrant showed signs of being crippled or sick he or she might be taken aside and examined in more detail before being allowed to enter America. Over the years a few were sent back to their home countries. After the initial inspection as a family, Emily went to the right with the other woman and girls. Her father and brother went to the left side for men and boys. The doctors and clerks asked about Liverpool, how her trip was, and examined her much like the doctor back in Liverpool had done. The difference was she didn't have a private room to sit in while being examined. As she proceeded from one station to another the inspectors never said much more other than telling her to proceed to the next table. At the end of processing a clerk removed the string and card from around Emily's neck. It had been placed there upon arrival at Ellis Island. On it was written her name, age, birthdate, father's name, country of origin, and the final destination -- Newark, New Jersey. As the clerk removed it he said to her, "Welcome to America, Emily." She couldn't believe her ears, she had made it! She saw her father and brother standing out in the hallway, both smiling. They had already cleared their immigration checks, now Emily had made it too. The CARRS boarded a ferry bound for Jersey City, which was across the harbor from Ellis Island. Once on shore they boarded a streetcar headed south toward home. Eventually Thomas directed the trolley conductor to stop and they got off. Then they walked four blocks to their home on Waverly Place. Emily saw a small group of people standing in front of a house waving. As they drew nearer she saw a sign that read, "Welcome Home Thomas, Tom, and Emily." That night the CARRs, their friends and neighbors celebrated the homecoming and New Year's Eve. Tom and Emily met other neighborhood children their age at the celebration. Soon after midnight Emily went to sleep in her new room and bed. She was happy -- she had arrived in America and made new friends. In the morning would be her first day in a new year and new country. Her journey was complete. ======================== Advertisements ============================ BOOK NOTES.

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]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conflicting Dates By Charnee Smit My husband's parents have another kind of glitch in their marriage record. They were married by proxy on opposite sides of the International Date Line, so she was married 31 December 1930 in the Netherlands and he was married 1 January 1931 in Indonesia. * * * Setting it in Stone By Maryellen Horrigan Marilyn Strout raises the question of information "set in stone" on ancestors' graves. We need to consider who set the stone and when. My great-grandparents, Dora and Daulby RIGGINS, of Chilton County, Alabama had no marker for their grave until 40 years after Dora's 1905 death and 25 after Daulby's death. Her two sons, Thomas and Thurston RIGGINS, placed a marker to honor their mother. As neither of them were around when their father died, they guessed at the appropriate date. According to a found newspaper account, they were off by a week. It could have been worse. Let's remember, gravestones contain secondary information. They are not inscribed by the person within. At best, family members supply the birthdate they were told or guessed at and sometimes use an estimated death date also. 8.
