The National Archives and The 1939 Registers

Before the UK became embroiled in WWII, the British Government made a record of  the civilian population for the purposes of controlling rationing and issuing identity cards. Beginning 29 September 1939 every individual was asked to register. Name, sex, age, occupation, address, marital status and military service, if any, was recorded.
These registration records fill the gaps for historians and family researches because there was no census taken in the UK in 1941 and the census records from 1931 were destroyed. Findmypast.com and The National Archives are working together to digitize and publish these records and expect to have them available in two years. You can sign up Here  to be notified when the records become available.
If you are desperate for information and cannot wait the two years for a record, they are available for purchase individually through the Health and Social Care Information Centre

A Bit of the Irish

If you, like myself and many others, suspect that you have a little or a lot of Irish ancestry, than this is the month to research it.

Ancestry.com is offering free records from Ireland until midnight on March 17th.  http://tinyurl.com/FreeIrishRecordsForAll

There are many other resources available.

The Family History Library Catalog now has many books and genealogy references digitized.

I went to the site and searched for the surname MacDonald, a name in my tree. 795 matching

publications were returned. Some of the publications offered an online viewing saying "To view a digital version of this article click here" and offered page  images such as this 

while others forwarded me to World Cat to search for a library to borrow or view the texts. It is certainly worth while to spend some time at Family Search to see what is available.

Using the same name MacDonald, I went to the Ellis Island Website . My search returned 3834 results!20 million people passed through  Ellis Island  between 1892-1924 The website has ship manifests, ship images and passenger lists. 

The National Library of Ireland is another resource which is not to be overlooked.

as well as The National Archives of Ireland. Check out  The Irish Genalogical Research Society
and on Rootsweb search the  Registry of Deeds Index Project Ireland.

Enjoy the journey of searching for your Irish ancestors!

Using "Google Alerts" to Enhance your Research

Using "Google Alerts" As A Genealogical Tool

One of many helpful resources for genealogists is Google Alerts.

Using this address www.google.com/alerts will lead you to a page which looks like this.

In the search query box , enter the word you would like to be notified of, for example a family surname or the name of a town or village where they lived. You can choose to have daily notifications via your inbox or via a feed or you may choose only weekly notifications to your inbox.

You can choose the type of location that you want this information to be culled from such as news, blogs, or everything published on the web. You can create multiple alerts.

Google Alerts works very well if you are researching less common names but does not work as well if you are researching surnames with frequent occurrences like "Smith" or "Miller".

I am fortunate to have some names which are less frequently occurring such as my married name of Meentzen. . Only this week I was notified of an international online auction listing. When I went to check it out, I found that it was something I had been searching for for some years. My father in law, Carl Meentzen, had cigars made with his name and his company name on the labels. I had heard of these but had not found one. This site had photos of 5 different cigar labels with his name on them. It is of course now my goal to try to acquire these mementos.

If you have an ancestor who owned any sort of company, was a merchant or a professional who used advertising tools, you may have success with this as well. I was notified of a worldwide Ebay auction and was able to acquire other advertising pieces from this same line of the family.

Family Advertising, a calendar would have been in the center.

You may get lucky and find another relative researching your same family line and you can share data and swap photos as I did. I found a name frequently popping up in association with one of my alert names. I contacted him and we realized that we were 2nd cousins. We were able not only to share information, but also to meet , visit a family cemetery, share family photos and have lunch; An excellent day for a genealogist!

I have Google Alerts set for some of the more unusually named villages in England where my paternal grandfathers family is from including the village of Oddington. I get the occasional alert from this name search, but from that I have been alerted to an old family home for sale. I  went to the realtor listing website and downloaded the interior and exterior photos for my files. It was not as good as being there but was a tolerable substitute!

A home once owned by my ancestors

Enjoy using Google Alerts and I hope you have success!

The Campaign to Open Historic Registers and Eliminate Additional Fees Is Underway

The Campaign to Open Historic Registers and Eliminate Additional Fees Is Underway

Ordering of birth , marriage and death records is currently under the control of the General Register Office in England.  The GRO charges for these records and there is an additional charge if they are sent Priority mail. There are many who believe that these items are their rightful heritage and that they should have  access to them at no expense. They are campaigning to have the records transferred to the National Archives where they can be more freely accessed.

Many of us have used the U.K resources of the National Archives "Access to Archives"

 website for the locating and ordering of wills, deeds, and vital records. I have frequently found the answers to many genealogical questions by ordering documents here and have been pleased with the service and the results.  . http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/

The Rootsweb list 'Legal England and Wales' reports:

"There is a campaign to get the Historic Birth, Marriage and Death registers

open to the public without having to purchase certificates.

This could be done by either transferring the centralized registers held by

the GRO to the National Archive or by transferring the registers held by

superintendent registrars to the County Record Offices.

In addition a number of commercial companies would be willing to digitise

the registers allowing them to be available online and also available at the

archives free of charge."

The goal is to make these records free and accessible and they urge genealogists to spread the word. If you live in the UK and have an interest, they recommend that you contact your local MP.

Researching Dutch American Ancestors

A Starter Pack for Dutch American Research!

I began researching my Dutch ancestry about 20 years ago. It is the line of my grandmother Eva Bradt. Her 6th great grandfather was the Norwegian  Albert Andreissen Bradt (1607-1686) who owned the mill on the Normanskil River in New Netherlands.He lived among the Dutch settlers and his children married within the Dutch community.He was a fur trapper and trader, a land owner,briefly a tobacco grower and by all accounts a tough as nails, litigious character. His brother Arent is the one who shines most brightly in historical accounts, however I find my line to be equally as intriguing.

The Memorandum Book of Anthony De Hooges has a translation online at  the New Netherlands Institute

As I began researching my Dutch ancestors it became clear that many had gone before me on this task.I have to say that I relied heavily on the meticulous work of some family historians who did the leg work of researching documents long before computer genealogy was one of the countries most popular hobbies.

 If you are researching your Dutch American ancestors, here are a few tips and links which my help you to develop your tree. Because this is such a well documented group of people, I recommend starting with Family Associations.

Here are some examples of Family Associations of my Dutch Ancestor Surnames:

Van Aken/ Van Auken  Association Website    

Bradt/ Brott/ Brat Family Association  

Fonda Family Society     

The Wynkoop Library  

The Swartwout Family Association   

Quakenbush Family Genealogy 

The Decker Family Association

Ostrander Family Association

Some Family Associations have added Facebook Pages such as these:

The Van Sickle Family Association

Depuy and Broadhead Family Association  

Once you find an association that relates to your family line, it is helpful to everyone if you make contact with them and give them the information of your branch of the tree. Some groups have reunions. historical tours and newsletters which can be a terrific source of networking. People who belong to these associations usually have a strong dedication to building and perpetuating the family  heritage and I have found them to be very helpful.

Books Online

There are numerous free book resources on the web  such as the National Archives and Google Books which can help with Dutch Genealogy Research. Primary resources are essential for accurate research, but books can bring ancestors to life via anecdotes, stories of adventures and maps or later photos of their homes and lands.Here are some examples of books that relate to Dutch research.

In Honor of Harriet Tubman: A Hero For All Generations

Harriet Tubman has been a hero of mine since childhood.
 As a student,I did several book reports on her life and achievements.
I wanted to refresh my memory about her and so I decided to approach the research 
in the same way I would if I wanted to learn more about my own relatives.

 I went to Ancestry.com and input her given name of Arminita Ross and 

her aka Harriet Tubman, and received zero search results. Next I looked for her in the 

public member tree section and found only a handful of rather barren trees. From 

those trees and several other sources online, I discovered that her father was Ben 

Ross and her mother was Harriet Greene and that they hailed from , 

Maryland. I learned that she was married twice, first to John Tubman and later to  

Nelson Davis, a Civil War soldier from Company G,8th U.S Colored Infantry.

Arminita Harriet Ross and First Husband John Tubman.

I then went to Genealogy Bank and did an newspaper and historical document search. 

This was a treasure trove of information and I learned many things about her that was 

"new to me".Although well known as the engineer of the Underground Railroad and Civil 

War spy, she was also a nurse in the Civil War and paraphrasing statements by 

officers who vouched for her in pension applications, did so at great risk as she 

personally saved mens' lives. In 1888, her spouse Nelson Charles Davis died and in 

1890, Harriet applied for a pension as his widow. She received the standard $8 per 

month. She applied for and received her nurses pension of $12 per month. In 1899, a 

petition was submitted in her behalf to make an exception and raise her monthly 

pension to a total of $25 per month. This was an unprecedented request. Illustrious 

individuals wrote letters of commendation including William Seward, General Rufus 

Saxton and Colonel James Montgomery. These letters described her as having worked for 

Govenor Andrew who sent her to the front where she worked as "nurse, cook and 

spy".She nursed men as the musket balls flew past. It is stated that she worked for 

Major General Hunter,General Stephens, and General Sherman.

In the newspaper section, I found fascinating articles about her work in helping to 

free slaves after she escaped her own slave master in 1849.She was said to be pure 

African and from the Ashantee tribe and was described by many as having a great 

physical strength and stamina.It was said that in rescuing slaves that she had gone 

hand to hand with some slave masters and was the victor. I read current articles 

which credit her with helping to free 70-80 slaves however that does not match up 

with the articles of that time which credit her with assisting as few as 300 or as 

many as 1000 slaves via the underground Railway. Rewards were offered for her capture 

"Dead or Alive" and the combined $40,000. bounty reward might lead one to believe in 

the higher number of escaped slaves.She was also an active committee member of The 

Canadian Fugitive Aid Society of St. Catherines' which offered assistance to sick or 

indigent slaves who had fled to Canada.

Amongst all of the adventures, intrigue and travels, there seems to have been a space 

of time when she lived a somewhat average life living on a farm and engaged in brick 

making with her husband Nelson and her parents whom she had bought from 

slavery.Although her life was more normal than it had been when she traversed swamps 

and rugged terrain helping slaves escape, she was now known around the world.Even 

Queen Victoria had read her book and sent her a commemorative medal.

After her husbands death in 1888, her philanthropy continued and she turned her own 

small home in Auburn N.Y,into the Harriet Tubman Home for Aged Negroes, where she 

ended her days at the age of 98 in 1913. She was said to be quick witted and with a 

healthy appetite even to her end days. She died a free woman and a land owner having 

purchased the house with the proceeds of a biography written about her by Mrs. Sarah H.

Bradford called Scenes From The Life of Harriet Tubman.

I am glad that the internet allows so many avenues for research and am amazed at the 

details I collected in one hours time. Having said that, my admiration for Harriet 

Tubman is again inflated beyond all measure.I see a picture of a woman who truly 

rolled up her sleeves and personally put herself in harms way for the sake of others on many occasions. 

Harriet Tubman far left with adopted Daughter Gerttie and husband Nelson Davis. The elderly people of the right are assumed to be her parents whom she bought out of slavery.
