new idea in South African genealogy

BIG SPAM

I FEAR i WILL GET 200 + COPIES OF THIS

still spam however well intentioned


Good afternoon

Would it be possible for you to post the following announcement on your list - I do not know if some of your members might be interested in South African Genealogy:

Thanks
Colin Pretorius
***********

It is with great pleasure that we announce the dawning of a new era in South
African genealogy. After lengthy discussions involving people
interested in promoting South African genealogy, ideas and plans came
together to make it possible for the Genealogical Society of South Africa
(GSSA) to open a virtual branch.

This branch is known as eGSSA.

For many years there have been people who, for various reasons, could not
join a regular GSSA branch. Some of these reasons include living too far
from a branch or living outside South Africa. These people still have a
need to belong to a branch and to enjoy the benefits of GSSA membership,
such as receiving GSSA's flagship quarterly journal, Familia. GSSA has been
established to meet these needs.

We plan for members of eGSSA to be able to hold virtual meetings in the
future, either via streaming technology or in a chat room a-la-MSN. .

It is also planned that eGSSA will make some of the GSSA products available
electronically, and that some databases could be placed on the Internet for
search purposes. This all depends on the availability of storage capacity.

eGSSA's website is currently hosted at
http://www.ggsa.info/eggsa

The management eGSSA team is as follows:

Branch Chairperson: Colin Pretorius (based in Australia)
Secretary: Anne Lehmkuhl (based in Canada)
Technical services: Richard Ball (based in the UK)
Ex Officio: Martin Zöllner (based in South
Africa)

Regional representatives:

Australia/NZ/Oceania/Asia: André van Rensburg (based in Australia)
North & South America: Anne Lehmkuhl (based in Canada)
Europe & the UK: Richard Ball (based in the UK)
Africa & the Middle East: Daan Hamman (based in South Africa)

The membership fees given below include an electronic copy of
Familia, the Society's quarterly journal, as well as the virtual branch's own quarterly newsletter/journal, called genesis. Other
benefits include discounts on some CD products.


South Africa R115 ( R90 per annum GSSA fee
& R25 eGSSA fee) .
Rest of Africa and Middle East : US $ 22
North and South America US $22
United Kingdom GBP 11
Europe Euro 18
Aus/NZ/Oceania/Asia Aus $ 25


Payments for residents IN South Africa can be done via Absa, while
payment for residents OUTSIDE South Africa will be done via Paypal
(Australian and NZ prospective subscribers can contact Colin Pretorius for
additional options)

For those people who are not currently GSSA members, or cannot join a
current branch, this is an ideal opportunity to become part of GSSA and to
step into this exciting era.

The contact email address is eggsa@fmxau.com

How to Evaluate Genealogical Evidence: "As insecure as it may make us feel, we must learn to live with uncertainty in our genealogical work. The validity of any pedigree connection between generations is merely a probability. "


The May 1994 issue of The Generator, the newsletter of the St. Mary's County (MD) Genealogical Society contained the following table to assist in evaluating evidence and determining whether you have a "Preponderance of the Evidence" case. I see no author cited.

PREPONDERANCE of the EVIDENCE
Primary = 3 points
Secondary = 2 points
Circumstantial = 1 point
Process of Elimination = 1 point
5 points needed to prove a theory.

SOURCE ---- TYPE
Civil Birth Record ---- Primary
Civil Marriage Record ---- Primary
Civil Death Record ---- Primary for date, place and cause primary or secondary for age, parentage, etc., depending on identity of informant

Bible Record ---- Primary, if made contemporarily [with event]
Tax Record ---- Primary
Court Record ---- Primary
Church Baptismal ---- Record Primary
Church Marriage Record ---- Primary
Church Burial Record ---- Primary for date & place; secondary for age, parentage, etc.

Naturalization Record ---- Primary
Military Service Record ---- Primary
Military Pension Record ---- Primary
Original Probate documents ---- Primary
Record book copies of probate ---- ---- Good Secondary

Diaries ---- Primary
Original Land Documents ---- Primary
Record Book copies of land docs. ---- ---- Good Secondary
Newspaper Marriage Notice ---- Primary
Newspaper Death Notice ---- Primary for date & place
Secondary ---- for other data
Newspaper Obituary ---- Primary for date & place
Secondary for other data

Personal recollection ---- Primary or secondary
Tombstone inscription ---- ---- Secondary

Census Records ---- Secondary
Census indices ---- Tertiary

Passenger list ---- Secondary
Passenger list indices ---- Tertiary

IGI
---- Secondary or Tertiary
LDS family group records ---- Secondary or Tertiary
Published genealogical book ---- Secondary or Tertiary
Published periodical article ---- Secondary or Tertiary

Oral tradition ---- Secondary or Tertiary or worse


It makes some interesting distinctions which I would not have made, but on the whole, it's certainly a place to start.

Cardiganshire FHS: "About Cardiganshire.
Cardiganshire (in Welsh - Ceredigion) is a bilingual County in West Wales,UK. Everybody speaks English and over 60% of the population speaks Welsh. Following the recent dissolution of the large administrative county of Dyfed, the historic county of Cardiganshire was reinstated with county status under the ancient name of Ceredigion.
In the 19th century and earlier Cardiganshire's economy was based on farming, seafaring, and metal mining . Harsh economic conditions meant that many individuals and families left the county for other parts of the UK and overseas. Their descendants are now living in most of the English-speaking world . There are strong connections between Cardiganshire and parts of north America ; in particular,Pennsylvania,Ohio,Wisconsin,and Minnesota. "

Cardiganshire FHS: "Leading members of the Society teach at the annual week-long residential courses in Family History organised by the Dept. of Continuing Education,The University of Wales, Aberystwyth,10/11 Laura Place,Aberystwyth, Ceredigion,SY23 2AU. Full details can be obtained from the Society or the Dept. "

Microfiches are currently available with burial entries for 1813-1837 and 1838-1865 taken from the registers for all parishes in the county. For details go to this page. More burial information for other dates will be published on microfiche as data becomes available. Society members have undertaken a number of memorial transcription projects at various churches and chapels in North Cardiganshire and these are being published at intervals.

The Society is participating in the FFHS scheme for the compilation of a National Burials Index and the current Federation CD-ROM contains data for Cardiganshire burials.

1. NEWS AND NOTES. 1a. Behind the Scenes at RootsWeb

When you search the RootsWeb message boards http://boards.rootsweb.com/
or subscribe to a mailing list http://lists.rootsweb.com/ and receive
a welcome message providing information about the list; do you ever
wonder what makes everything tick to keep the boards and lists running
successfully?

Of course, you know there are "servers" (computers) at RootsWeb that
make these resources available for you. And, there is software running
the programs you use, plus staff members working to keep the machinery
and software purring.

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg because RootsWeb runs with
the help of many volunteers -- hundreds of them who work behind the
scenes. They give freely of their time and expertise to manage the
thousands of mailing lists and message boards at RootsWeb.

Mailing list administrators maintain order on a list, manage membership
problems, such as assisting people to subscribe and unsubscribe. In
addition they process bounce notices when a list member's address goes
bad. They also steer the list discussion so that it remains focused on
the topic the list was created to serve.

Many list administrators requested the creation of lists, providing a
resource for researchers that otherwise would not be available for you
at RootsWeb. RootsWeb list administrators may be contacted by writing
to: LISTNAME-admin@rootsweb.com -- replace the generic word LISTNAME
with the actual name of the list (no -L or -D). Any and all
administrative matters pertaining to a list should be addressed to the
list administrator privately at the admin address rather than posted
publicly to the list. Not all mailing lists have a volunteer
administrator and those lists are managed by staff in the hope that a
volunteer administrator will one day come along and adopt them.

Message board administrators review new posts to their boards, keep
discussion on topic, move off-topic messages to a more appropriate one,
and remove unsuitable posts. They also edit the subject line, surname
field, and classification of posted messages so that the board can be
searched more efficiently.

Board admins may be contacted in two ways. 1). If you wish to have a
message you posted removed from a board or want to bring an
inappropriate post to an admin's attention, click on the REPORT ABUSE
option -- while viewing the post. NOTE: You must be a registered board
user (have an account), and be logged in, in order to use this board
feature. 2). You can contact a board administrator by following the
LINKS & ANNOUNCEMENTS link on the board. The e-mail contact address for
the board administrator will be on this page.

Since not all message boards have an administrator, not all boards have
a LINKS & ANNOUNCEMENTS link. Those boards have a BECOME AN ADMIN
link. If the board is one in which you have an active interest, you
might consider clicking the link to request to become the admin for the
board. Becoming an admin requires that you be a registered user and
that you LOGIN to make your request.

Remember when you are contacting an administrator for a RootsWeb mailing
list or message board that you are contacting a volunteer who is
maintaining a valuable resource on his or her own time and is attempting
to help you and answer your questions and concerns as best he can. The
admin may have a real job and family responsibilities and he or she
probably is not at the computer 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You
may not receive instant answers to your questions or concerns about
problems that develop on a list or board. Admins are scattered around
the world and may not be in the same time zone as you are.

These fine volunteers do not have a crystal ball and have no way of
knowing how to contact someone who posted to the list/board in 1998 and
whose address is now obsolete. Don't expect the administrator to help
you with your personal genealogical research. While some are experts on
the surname, locality, or topic of the resource they manage, many are
acting more in the capacity of an administrator providing a resource so
that others may carry out their research in an organized manner.

Be kind to RootsWeb's list and board administrators and remember to
thank them now and then for the fine job they do.

1b. EDITOR'S DESK. DAR Patriot Lookups

NSDAR VOLUNTEERS OFFER LOOKUPS. Do you think you might have an

1d. TIPS FROM READERS. Scanning Old B&W Negatives
By Ann Wideman pochi@yhti.net

For several years I had a stack of 200-plus black-and-white negatives
that my mother had given to me. As anyone that has tried knows, it is
almost impossible to have these developed into prints. Not having the
financial means to purchase a new scanner that has the negative mask,
and not being sure it would work on black and white negatives, I tried
several times through the years to scan and print these using my
scanner.

I had at one time managed a one-hour photo lab. I started to think about
how we handled the negatives in order to get a print. Suddenly, this
great big light bulb came on, and I had the solution.

First I took some scraps of picture framing mat board and made mask to
hold the negatives. I had to make several sizes since old black-and-
white negatives are not all 35mm size. Then I found a white plastic lid
that had no writing or ridges, it has to be flat. I set the negative,
that is now in the mask, on the scanner bed and placed the white plastic
lid over it. The lid acts as a diffuser.

Next I took my desk lamp, the clip-on type that draftsmen use, and held
it above the negative. If the negative was very dark, I held the light
four to six inches above the negative. If it was light, I would hold the
light eight to 12 inches above the negative.

I previewed scanned the negative. With the negative scanned in preview
mode I could set my scanner to only scan that area where the negative
was. Then I would again scan the negative the second time. I would save
this to my hard drive. Then I would go to the next step.

After the negatives were scanned and saved, I would go to my photo
editing program. This program must have a negative setting. This setting
allows you to turn a positive into a negative and a negative into a
positive. I would then change the negative to a positive and print the
picture.

True this isn't the sharpest image, but it isn't a bad image and you
have now saved all those family photos and can see what Great-uncle
George looked like holding his two-week-old son.

This does not work with colored negatives, or at least, I haven't gotten
this to work with color negatives--yet. This is a no-cost way, but it is
a bit time consuming.

Looking Closer: Counted Twice
By Rosie

My great-grandfather was also enumerated twice. It was RWR that told
me to look for a second listing. I found him in 1910 with his second
wife many years ago, and accepted the information as final. During my
last trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, I discovered
the divorce papers the wife had filed and in the paper work, are the
words "Has not supported me for 18 months prior."

The census was taken in July and this was the following February. I
ordered the census index CD, and voilà -- I found him again as a boarder
in a mining camp in Colorado. Thanks!

Spinning Yarns
By Karen Rhodes

In response to Mavis Garland's recent comments regarding accuracy in
tales from the past, my great-granduncle Don Francis REED (1887-1930)
has a biography in "A History of Kansas And Kansans," compiled by
William E. Connelley (Chicago, Lewis Publishing, 1918, five volumes).
There are some inaccuracies, which could be interpreted as, in Garland's
words, ". . . certain people who take delight in padding stories or re-
telling them to suit themselves."

Uncle Don tells of his grandfather Charles REED, who, in Uncle Don's
words, "saw 3 1/2 years of active service with an Indiana regiment of
infantry in the Civil War. He was at the second battle of Bull Run,
where he was shot through the arm, and later participated in the Atlanta
campaign and was at the battle of Kennesaw Mountain and other
engagements."

When I obtained Charles REED's voluminous and extremely informative
Civil War pension file from the National Archives, I found that such was
not the case at all. His original enlistment in the Civil War was 13
October 1864 -- about two years too late to have been at second Bull Run
Battle, and he was mustered out 11 July 1865. He was probably not
present at this mustering-out, however, as he had been invalided home 30
June 1865 and by the 11 July date was back in Portland, Jay County,
Indiana. Indeed he was in an Indiana regiment of infantry -- Company F,
140th Indiana Infantry. The history of the regiment states its action
took place entirely in Tennessee and North Carolina, nowhere near
Kennesaw Mountain or Atlanta (both in Georgia) or Bull Run (near
Manassas, Virginia).

Nor was he shot through the arm. In the pension file there are a number
of records of physicians' examinations of Charles REED, complete with
full body diagrams front and back, and on none of the reports and none
of the diagrams is any gunshot wound of any sort in any location
mentioned. He was treated for and eventually sent home for having
"chronic camp diarrhoea" (probably amoebic dysentery) and "breakbone
fever" (an old name for dengue fever). It was for these ailments that he
was later pensioned.

Either Uncle Don wanted to pad his resume in the biographical book or
Charles REED spun stories out of whole cloth for the family because he
did not want to admit that he had spent almost his entire military
service in hospital from such undignified ailments.

Fabricating Family Fables
By Susan Kundert in Ohio

My uncle, Lloyd SHUPE, was the family storyteller. Because he was the
eldest child of his generation, we suspect that he heard and observed
more than did his sister and cousins from his grandparents and their
friends as he was growing up. And as far as he was concerned, his
recollections were Gospel.

He was convinced that our great-grandfather, Reuben SHUPE, was one of
12 sons of a farmer-turned-banker near Lancaster, Ohio, who lost all his
money when a business deal turned sour. According to Uncle Lloyd, the
sons did not get along with each other, with the result that all but
Reuben set out for other parts. He even credited some of them with
founding the city of Lancaster, California.

Truth be told, there is very little of this fable that can be verified.
Reuben was the seventh of 13 children of a local farmer. The family was
comprised of seven daughters and six sons, nearly all of whom married
and raised families within 25 miles of their birthplace. The one
daughter who did not stay in the area married against her parents'
wishes and moved to Kansas, where she lived a long and happy life.

However, there might have been a nugget of truth in Uncle Lloyd's story
after all. One of Reuben's uncles, Henry SHUPE, did have 12 sons
who survived to adulthood (out of 15 born -- and six daughters -- to two
wives). Several of these sons did move West as young adults. Did they
get as far as California and found a city there? I rather doubt it, but
there sure are a lot of folks with the SHUPE surname living in
Lancaster, California.

Finding the Welsh
By Ava Nackman

I would love to let Mary Adams Arroyo, who submitted "On a Crooked Trail
to Wales" in a recent Rootsweb Review, know that her family is not the
only one having this misunderstanding concerning the surname WELSH.
Years ago I had a long-distance telephone conversation with an elderly
distant relative, who informed me that my 3g-grandmother was Welsh, but
he could provide no info on her maiden name. It was years later that I
stumbled upon my 3g-grandparents' marriage license and discovered that,
in fact, her maiden name was WELSH.

Embellishing Family Legends
By Lisa Hoffius
http://www.freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~bennett1/
http://www.freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~storms1/

I agree that family stories passed down through the generations can
often be misleading and embellished upon. However, even if you do find
out that the story about your great-grandmother being hidden in a pot
isn't true, don't discount the idea that perhaps the story has some
truth to it. Consider that perhaps it wasn't your great-grandmother but
could this not have happened to your 3g-grandmother or a great-aunt?

Maybe she wasn't hidden in a pot, but "hid" a pot that was valuable to
them. Imagine an ancestor telling his children that their grandfather
was killed by Indians. The next generation tells their children the same
story but adds a little to it to entertain. Next generation adds or
subtracts due to fuzzy memory -- next thing you know it's the year 2004
and you have an ancestor who was killed by Sitting Bull over a bag of
tobacco!

I have tried to glean clues from several fanciful stories passed down to
me, in some cases I have found that root of the story is actually true.
These stories a part of the family history and as such should be
included, who knows a future generation may find the truth to a story
that we've discounted.

Telling Tall Tales
By Cathy Murphy of Naperville, Illinois

I believe that while some family stories are embellished or changed
completely to suit the one telling the stories, other times there is
simply faulty memory. My great-aunt enjoyed telling the family story
that one of her aunts or great-aunts had married a man named Ed
Sullivan. She said that, of course, it wasn't THE Ed SULLIVAN of U.S.
television fame, but she'd enjoyed the story.

When my research hit the probate and census records for those aunts, I
found that the aunt wasn't married to an Ed SULLIVAN, but rather to a
man named Emmett KELLY. So, apparently when someone was remembering,
they remembered the wrong "famous" name! I always got a chuckle out of
that piece of family story!

Lost Letters of the Alphabet
By Alex Dow

The correct historic pronunciation of MENZIES leads on to the
"lost letters" from the "English" alphabet. This Web page (and several
others) enlarges upon the subject:
http://www.takeourword.com/TOW142/page1.html

Menzies was generally pronounced "ming-iss" in Scotland until about the
1980s, when the news agent chain, "John Menzies" whilst expanding in
England, started to use the "menzies" version in its TV adverts. Within
about two years, this erroneous pronunciation could be heard all over
Scotland; "ming-iss" now being very rare. Another piece of Scottish
culture killed off!

* * *
Finding Icie
By Debbie Jones

My mother-in-law's name is Icie. When I first met her I thought it was
a bit unusual. However as I have researched her family's roots in
Greenbrier and Nicholas counties of West Virginia, I have run across it
multiple times. I have seen various spellings such as Icie and Icy.
It seems to have been derived from the given name of Eunice.

* * *
Tracing a Given Name
By James Liptrap http://liptrap.topcities.com/liptrap.htm

In response to David Jackson's message about an Icie LIPTRAP, the only
person by that name in my data base is Icy Belle LIPTRAP (1897-1995) who
lived in Staunton, Virginia. The youngest of 11 children, she never
married. If there is another Icie Liptrap, I would like to find out
more. Icie is a most unusual name.

The LIPTRAP name, as the Editor noted, is considered a variation of
LIPTROT, which appears in Lancashire from 1550. But LIPTRAP but seems
to have occurred first about 1600 in London, and to have been centered
more in London and Kent. The name came from London to Virginia in 1772
with Isaac LIPTRAP and from London to Ontario in 1929 with Robert George
LIPTRAP, the only known immigrants.

Thanks to Rosie in Oregon

My cousin sent me a series of e-mails while she was searching one day.
You could almost hear her laughing -- she had found an Icie LEGG! And,
she wondered still about a Chillie FOOTE. She also claims she once knew
a Twinkle POUGH (pronounced Puff)!

[Editor's Note: One of my favorite surnames is FATYOUWANT. For a look at
some other funny names found in the first U.S. census in 1790, see

1901 England Census Now Available


I am pleased to announce that Ancestry have begun posting names to the 1901 England Census project. This project will run concurrently with our ongoing 1871 Census efforts.

Through a license agreement with The National Archives of England, Wales and the United Kingdom, Ancestry will digitise the 1.47 million original census images on 1813 rolls of microfilm.

Upon completion, the collection will contain 32.5 million names and will be fully indexed and searchable by name, county and parish, with search results linking directly to images.

As with other census years, civil registration, and parish databases that Ancestry have added recently, the 1901 Census is available to current subscribers at no additional cost.

Today's release completes the following counties: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, and London - nearly 8 million names or 24% of the entire census.

Best regards,
L. Brown

Welcome to the National Museum of Civil War Medicine : Frederick, Maryland: "Music of the Civil War
Apr 24 ... 11:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Musician Gary Schwartz and vocalist Tony DeRosa will perform and discuss music of the Civil War-era.
The program offers first-hand accounts of what life was like through the songs written commemorating the battles, ideas, thoughts, and patriotism of the Civil War.
Music played an important role in sustaining morale, both with the soldiers in camp and the wounded men in the hospitals. Program attendees can join in a sing along of some of the better known tunes of the time.
