My Dentist - A Really Cool Guy!
I am very excited that I will be able to conduct my third interview very soon. This time it will be with my dentist, Dr. Rajiv Arya, who, as you will see, is a very interesting, unique and multi-faceted individual. I have been seeing the same dentist for almost 10 years now and I think he is a really cool guy. He is young, bright, not to mention good-looking, as well as very friendly and helpful. A long time ago, when I did not have dental insurance coverage, he reduced his rates which really helped me out financially a great deal at the time, something that I appreciate to this day. In my opinion Dr. Rajiv Arya is a very interesting and unique individual. We have had many conversations[..]

Years ago, grandparents passed their recipes down to their children and grandchildren. Over time family recipes were established. Life has gotten a little busier and many cherished recipes are being forgotten. Does this sound familiar? Did you love Grandma's Zeppoli fried dough but no one else knows how to duplicate the recipe?

TIP: It's all in the details! What everyone knows is true, may be wrong! I've recently been going over the family tree for Margaret, a client of mine, and this was her frequent outburst. The dates were not quite right, first names were slightly different, the county of birth was definitely wrong! So I carefully took her back, document by document, detail by detail, to see if we could find errors. One aunt was listed by a nickname in one census, her given name on the next, a baptism name on the nest one. A surname was spelled three different ways: on a birth registration, census, and draft. Birthdates were different on all three. A newspaper record of her greatgrandmother's[..]

My Ancestors Arrived in North America - But...
From the 1400s to the current time period, our ancestors arrived in Canada and the United States by ship, usually in waves of immigrants. Unfortunately it can be quite difficult to find any proof of this ship trip, as captains were not required to list every passenger until into the later 1800s. At times the lists are very detailed with occupations, ages of each person, family groupings noted, country/place of origin. In other cases, only the men are listed by name, (or initial plus surname), with wives and children listed only as "family". Your beginning searches will need to focus on where your ancestors landed in North America, and as close to the correct date as you can get. Those[..]
Before You Build Your Online Family Tree - 5...
TIP: Think carefully first - private or public? Here are five points to consider before you start building your online family tree or before you post your tree to a public site. 1. PRIVACY: Be very sensitive to privacy concerns of other family members. Mother's maiden name is a common identification key for banks and other institutions - think carefully before you post such important details. 2. SOURCES: Have you listed the documents for all your tree details? Start immediately to add Sources to your master sources list: e.g., birth registration, graduation certificate, photo of grave stone, 1910 Census. If the data are actually stories from Aunt Ethel or Uncle Hal, say so. Primary[..]
Genealogy & Internet
Internet and the big scale diffusion of genealogy opens a new dimension on this Science that was otherwise reduced to a selected group of strange people, Fans of history, dusty old books, cold churches.

We can pinch down some characteristics of these kind of databases: - Increase the sources of information that becomes more accurate - Have accesses to private family data known only by fathers and[..]
Genealogy is basically the study of your family's descent and history. With the popularity of the internet, genealogy has now become a major pastime for people the world over. It's about satisfying curiosity but it's also a way to preserve family cultures and traditions, to educate kids about their family tree, or maybe to compile a medical history.

But the biggest mass exodus of immigrants from Ireland happened in the 19th century when the country was gripped by[..]

With so many people, it can become easy to get lost in the shuffle of names. Here are five strategies to help make your genealogy research easier.

Your Family Tree - Confirm Details, Evaluate...

Here are some ideas on where to search to confirm basic details of your ancestors, as well as how to add personal information about your ancestors' lives.

For example, a birth registration record, a burial[..]
Public records consist of a wide variety of things, from criminal records to marriage and death certificates. Not all records are actually available to be browsed by just anybody. Certain types of files are restricted to either relatives or solicitors of the person that the public record concerns. This is rather obviously to prevent fraud; it wouldn't be wise to let anybody get a copy of somebody else's birth certificate for example. As well as this type of restriction some files contain "sensitive" information which can lead them to no longer be considered public domain despite usually coming under the category of a freely available public record. What use are these records to[..]
Family Tree Search - Using the Best Genealogy...
A family tree search can be very difficult to complete, especially since families tend to grow apart and live in different parts of the world. In the past, families tended to stick together in a community and would raise their young in the same community. This went on for generations, as there was nowhere else for these people to go. With the Industrial Revolution, however, came much more mobility among human beings, which meant that families would become separated and would, often times, completely lose touch with one another. The truth of the matter is that you might have relatives all over the world that you are unaware of, which is one of the reasons why doing a complete family tree[..]
Good Genealogy - How to Document Sources - Step...
Document everything when you are searching your family tree. That means even notes you take while interviewing relatives. Record your sources when copying records from the courthouse or whatever public building you use. Take a sheet of paper and write the surname in large letters on the top and then put all notes for that surname on that sheet of paper. Get in good habits now and document your sources. You may receive a phone call from a relative and she may tell you a lot of juicy goodies about someone. Get your titled sheet of paper and write those down along with the name of the relative who told you these things. You may reconsider when writing the family history but a least for now,[..]
Examples of Family Tree Types and Styles From...
The internet allows us to view many different examples of family trees. They range in style from simple charts, designed strictly to provide information, to decorative, artistic creations suitable for framing and displaying. The tree design can be used to show an individual's ancestors or to show an individual's descendants. Usually, if an individual's ancestors are to be displayed, the individual's name is recorded at the base of the tree or on the trunk. The "branches" extend upwards and out. The tree is wider on the top and narrower on the bottom. If an individual's descendants are to be recorded, the tree design can still be used. Think of the shape of a Christmas tree and you'll[..]
There are many ways you can get bogged down in paperwork, notes to yourself, post-its all over your desk and computer, and scratch pads filled with - well, writing scratches! Excited by the search, you may do the following: scribble down the few details you are interested in, ignore the rest of the details on the same page, forget to put down the actual web site url (address), and move on. Oh dear - six weeks later, you come across this piece of paper under your keyboard, realize that you need the other details you had ignored, and you simply cannot find your source again! Nor can you remember how you got there in the first place. Too common a finding, and there are ways to avoid this[..]

Having spent the better part of a day last week organizing last years Christmas pictures into groups of who's who and what was what, then into the frames I had purchased some time ago and finally, either finding a home for them in my living room and hallway or setting them on the china cabinets and bureaus; I stepped back to evaluate my handiwork. I began to see story lines in the individual photographs and in the different ways I had combined them. Starting something new for 09, I decided to write the specifics with a little detail for each for everyone to read. It helps me to remember the nuts and bolts of singular and combined photos and the stories they tell when we listen. There is[..]

There is an old adage, write about what you know. Who do you know better than yourself? Whether you are young parents or retired grandparents, passing on your story to your children and grandchildren is a gift that will keep on giving. Computers make this very easy.

The Importance of Having As Many People on Your...
How complete is your family tree? How many family lines have you explored? Some people are only interested in having their direct ancestors listed on their tree. They don't want to muddy things up with a lot of other people who are not directly related to them. There's nothing wrong with that as long as you can find all of your direct ancestors. As we all know, when researching a family tree you run across other distant relatives who have the same ancestors. Maybe they have more information on a few people that you didn't have. You use that information to build onto your tree and make it more complete. What happens though when the trail of clues stop? If everyone who is researching that[..]

Family Tree Terms - What Are Stepfathers,...
Recently I had the chance to read again the first chapter of Mark Herber's guidebook "Ancestral Trails." It really is one of the finest books on British Isles Family history and Genealogy. This important book, for family historians, has an incredible section on comprehending family relationships. No, I certainly am not suggesting that it is a self-help publication aimed at men and women going through a bad patch in their relationships; its more about what the phrases stepfather/mother, half-brother/sister and so on refer to! It teaches us, in simple terms, the word "step" denotes that there's simply no blood connection connecting the parties and solely some sort of connection through[..]

Seeking Ancestors? Find Your Family in the 1920...
The United States Constitution provided for a count of the population of the country three years from the first meeting of the Congress and for every ten years thereafter. Thus, the first census was taken in 1791 and the next will be taken this year in 2010. Since people realize that this is the law, we hope they cooperate by answering the questions asked by the census taker. The census is important for distributing representatives for the people and the funds for many programs. Genealogists love the census as it shows a family all in one town and address. If you have the surname and the city and county and state you will be able to find the family at a certain address. Genealogists are[..]
