TIPS FROM READERS: Old Tome Treasure for Genealogists By Diana Wood My husband was sorting some books that had been donated to our local library for its book sale. Among the tomes was a very old book that was falling apart and smelled terrible -- it was about to be thrown away. He noticed the title was "History of Norwich (Connecticut)" and since I have many ancestors from that area he brought it home to me. The subtitle is "from its settlement in 1660 to January 1845." It was written by Miss F. M. Caulkins. I have found many ancestors by reading the book as it is not indexed. I have been trying to index it as I find the time. Not only are people named but antidotes about them are mentioned. For any one searching in that area and beyond, this may be a book that might be available through the library loan program at their local libraries. * * * Pennsylvania Maps By Eleanor Brodeur As always enjoying reading the weekly newsletter. I was particularly interested in the article about county name changes in North Carolina. I don't have any ancestors from that state but I have many lines who moved through Pennsylvania. Many years ago I purchased for about $1 a map entitled: "Commonwealth of Pennsylvania" Department of Community Affairs Genealogical Map of the Counties Compiled and Prepared in the Bureau of Land Records--1933. Seventh Edition 1972. I believe I may have found this map at the York County Historical Society but it could as easily have come from Bellefonte Historical Society or even from the Pennsylvania State Archives. It's 11"x17" and likely reduced from a larger size as the details are in small print. It shows the counties and the changes, along with dates of changes when one large county or another was divided into several new counties. There are arrows that show migration routes. The map starts with the earliest claims of Connecticut, Maryland, and Virginia and progresses up to 1932 and a total of 67 counties. Additionally all counties are listed by date they were created. A listing of all treaties with local Indian tribes are included by date and geographic description. A large map of Pennsylvania is in the center of this page surrounded by 14 smaller maps that show the county divisions by date groups starting with 1682 and ending with 1932. I can't begin to accurately describe how useful this map has been and still is to my Pennsylvania research. In Pennsylvania the mountain ranges, which usually run north south are also important in plotting the movement of settlements. The valleys between the mountain ranges provided excellent farming lands. Settle- ments moving westward and sometimes northward are easily plotted. Mountain passes are just as important as the rivers that often flow through those passes. Those same mountain passes were used by settlers moving westward into Tennessee and Kentucky * * * Mapping Correctly By Nancy Jacobsen When it comes to foreign names and places do not follow how someone else has spelled them without looking them up. I know it takes extra time but it is so much better to be correct. You can go to Google and put in the spelling and it will tell you if it is correct. If it is not correct take some time to make it correct before you add it to RootsWeb. It's a pet peeve of mine but there are so many errors out there that keep being passed on. Maybe some one could make a program that will re- spell the places before they are put online. As for the county changes there is an inexpensive map book from the called "Map Guide to the Federal Censuses, 1790-1920," by William Thorndale and William Dollarhide. It tells the changes in the boundaries so you put in the right county. * * * 1c. USING ROOTSWEB: Sifting SMITHs in Somerset When we left our family history researcher heading off onto the right fork in the road after narrowing down the search for John Q. SMITH by homing in on the geographic area of Somerset, England, we next had to face the fact that even in a rather narrow region there is still a slew of SMITHs to sort through. So what other hints and tips should our researcher look for in finding the right John SMITH amid the SMITHs of High Littleton, Bath, and Midsomer Norton? He might attempt to narrow down the John SMITHs by looking at census and other records that might list the ages of the various John SMITHs. He could get a better feel for the family structure and names that tend to be used in the family. He can check the IGI (International Genealogical Index) at http://www.familysearch.org/ looking for parish records that might provide some clues. In this case, our researcher lives in Canada and isn't familiar with Somerset, England and what he should be looking for there. Where can he turn? Valuable resources at RootsWeb that could help to sort out the John SMITHs in Somerset are mailing lists and the message board for Somerset, England. The message board is located here: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=localities.britisles.england.som.general and the mailing lists are found in the list index here: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/ENG/Bristol_and_Somerset.html http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/ENG/ENG-SOMERSET.html The lists and boards can offer access to other people -- people who may live in Somerset and/or who may be familiar with the resources needed to pinpoint John Q. SMITH. There may even be lookup volunteers who can check local Somerset resources. Land records and wills can be searched. But in the case of our elusive John Q. SMITH the best clue that enabled focusing the search on one John SMITH ended up being the trade or occupation of the various John SMITHs. Posts on the board and lists turned up responses which indicated varied occupations and trades for the several John SMITHs. Could our John SMITH be the coal miner from High Littleton, the clergyman from Bath, or perhaps the tailor from Midsomer Norton? There is even a potential John Q. SMITH, constable, in Bristol which is not far from our area of interest a list member pointed out. The above men are all about the right age to possibly have been the father of our John Q. SMITH, Jr. and all were living in the geographic area we are looking at as the home area of our SMITHs. However, their occupations are vastly different. When we consider the fact that our John Q. SMITH, Jr. was a tailor and later opened a haberdashery in Bath, this could be the link we are looking for to the John SMITH who was the tailor in Midsomer Norton, which is near Bath. Our John Q. SMITH, Jr. was married in the Methodist Church, which makes him an unlikely offspring for the John Q. SMITH who was an Anglican priest. While it wouldn't be impossible for the son of a coal miner or constable to have become a tailor, it would have been far more likely for the son of a tailor to have taken up the trade of his father. Now that it looked promising to concentrate on the John Q. SMITH in Midsomer Norton, a list member on the Somerset list was able to find him on a census listing and the names listed in his family match those our researcher is familiar with in more recent generations. Even though three of the above John SMITHs had a son named John about the right age to be our John, Jr., the tailor in Midsomer Norton had a daughter Harriet and son Albert and our researcher knows that his John, Jr. had a sister Harriet and brother Albert. The correct John Q. SMITH, Sr., may well have been found. In addition to locality lists and boards, occupational lists and boards helped in this search once it was realized that the occupation could be a clue: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Occupations/ http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.occupations With a little assistance from the above resources at RootsWeb and drawing intuitive conclusions based upon the evidence at hand, you can eventually sort through the many SMITHs in Somerset and focus on the one most likely to be at the base of your family tree. * * * * * * * * * * Advertisements * * * * * * * * * * REQUEST A SEARCH FOR YOUR ANCESTORS AT THE FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY ANCESTOR SEEKERS researchers at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City will search this vast collection for your ancestors from the USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Germany, Poland, Russia , Holland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Italy.

CONNECTING THROUGH ROOTSWEB: Wandering Album Finds Its Home By Bubby ROWE I've been researching my ROWE family for some time now, and have posted many messages on RootsWeb's message boards. I must say that everyone has been more than kind in helping me along my journey into my past. Quite sometime ago I replied to a message about an old photo album. The writer stated that the pictures were of a young woman named Mary Jane ROWE and her friends or family. They dated from the early 1920s. Since I have a couple of Mary Janes in my tree and one was about the right age, the writer sent me the album. the pictures were in great shape considering the journey this album had taken. It started off being purchased in Colorado at an antique shop, then made it way to Fairbanks, Alaska where it was purchased at a church rummage sale then to me in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Upon examination I soon realize this was not my Mary Jane ROWE. But who was she? Where was she from? After some amateur detective work I determined that she must be from Indiana or have lived there at one time. So now I knew what I must do -- find the rightful owner! I headed back to the message boards. I posted several messages and waited. Hearing nothing back, I soon forgot about the album. Then one day there it was, a reply. A lady had read my posting and knew of Mary Jane. I was amazed, it had been awhile since my posting. She stated that from my information it had to be the woman she knew from Indiana and that her daughter was still living. She asked if she could give her my e-mail address. Of course, I said yes. I have e-mailed her a couple of the pictures I scanned. She was elated, Yes, that was her mother. We still aren't sure how the pictures ended up in Colorado as her mother never left Indiana after returning home from college (in Ohio). Ancestry.com and RootsWeb made this possible. If it hadn't been for the online census reports and message boards I doubt if I'd ever found the rightful owner. It feels good helping someone find a bit of the past.

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]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Author Tracing Wild West Characters By Dorman Nelson (dormannelson@sbcglobal.net) I am finishing up my research on John Liver-eating JOHNSON, made modernly famous by Robert Redford's film "Jeremiah Johnson." During his colorful career, JOHNSON, who was born in 1824 and died in 1900, had been a trapper, hunter, wood hawk, army scout, marshal, and Civil War veteran. While researching, I discovered JOHNSON was in a Wild West show in 1884. This was not a Cody (William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody) group show. Another member, Thomas LeFORGE was listed as interpreter for the Crow contingency and further checking found a book on LeFORGE where he mentions the show. I knew who one of the partners was -- Thomas HARDWICK. He ran a livery in Deadwood, South Dakota and had been involved in mining in the early stages of development of that area. (Calamity Jane [nee Martha Jane Canary] and 100 Crow, cowboys and others were in the show for the summer.) Seems that HARDWICK got sick in 1901 and passed away in Missouri. I found an obit which listed his partner, William SKAKEL of that 1884 Wild West show! So I checked into William SKAKEL and am now involved in another biography of an interesting person who had bucket shops, gambling and "restaurants" in Chicago before the turn of the century and retired to South Dakota to raise cattle and race horses. It turns out that HARDWICK, JOHNSON and SKAKEL each had their own lives, but shared an adventure at this junction of time. HARDWICK was the grandson of a judge in Missouri; SKAKEL, out of Canada then to Chicago, was the great-uncle of Ethel SKAKEL KENNEDY, and JOHNSON was a son of a poor dirt farmer in New Jersey who became famous in life and death as "Liver-eating" JOHNSON. It is a small world. * * * Leaping Over Grandpa By Patrick Gudaitis During my early years of research I had tried to locate my grandfather, Roland Erwin AIKEN, in the 1920 Polk County, Georgia census. He was also known as R. E. I searched the Soundex for first, middle, first initial, middle initial, combinations, reverse, different spellings, etc. -- nothing. Even looked through the actual county census looking for his name. Guessed the census taker passed them up. Many years later I was compiling records for this surname in the same census. On one given day I was writing down names when I suddenly realized I was looking at the names of my grandmother and her children. "What the heck?" I thought, as I quickly looked at the head of household. The census taker had written his name as "Robert E. Akin." Again, his first name was Roland. I had failed to look at the families under the head of household in both the Soundex and the regular county census. If I had slowed down, it would have saved me 15 years of looking. Lesson learned. Final thought. What if my family had been mistakenly listed by a different last name? * * * Overcoming the Language Barrier By Tom Goodwill This may be old news to many but a co-worker told me of this site. It allows you to type text into a box, then select the languages to translate from and to, and it's done! I think it would be especially helpful to genealogists who may have copies of records in various languages and would like to translate them. I noticed that it also allows you to translate entire websites. http://babelfish.altavista.com/ * * * Paying for Recognition By Myrna J. Coubrough in Kingston, Ontario, Canada I agree with reader Joe Crouch ("Identifying Gateway Ancestors" in the last week's RootsWeb Review) about exercising caution when tracing the original immigrant ancestor using local history books. When I was growing up in Alberta, Canada, it was common for people to regard themselves as belonging to the "nationality" of their ancestors. People I went to school with in the 1960s, thought of themselves as German, French, Scots, Irish, English, etc., even though their families had left the "Old Country" a hundred years, or more, earlier. There are also lots of variants on the biographical sketches Crouch mentions. Several from here in southern Ontario, printed in the early 1900s, are collectively known by the name of the publisher as "Beers books." Keep in mind that people often had to pay to appear in these books (or pay in advance for one or more copies), which is why they were so flattering to the biographical subjects. It also explains why my well-off great-great-grandfather James Charteris BROWN appeared in the 1904 edition for Lambton County, Ontario, but his son-in-law, Mathew COUBROUGH and his parents, James COUBROUGH and Annie MACDONALD, did not -- even though they lived only two farms over. 7. Humor/Humour: Measuring Up and What Were They Thinking? ------------------------------------------------------ Thanks to: Libby Hastings in Australia I have distant relatives -- Jean SMALL and James INCHES -- who married in 1824 at Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. I suppose it could have been worse; their surnames could have been BIG and FOOT. * * * What Were They Thinking? Thanks to: Frances Ann Roth While wandering through the 1880 census for Alpena County, Michigan, I came across the Issiac ISSIACSON (yes, that is the spelling used in the census) whose eight-year-old son was named "Grant of the North." Maybe they were celebrating some good fortune they had, but what do you want to bet that when little Grant of the North got to school, he told the other students that his name was "Grant, just Grant." * * * Found a "proper name for the job" or humorous sign, amusing entries in census, parish, church, etc. records?
