EDITOR'S DESK: SSDI UPDATED. RootsWeb offers access to the Social Security Death Index (SSDI), which includes records through July 2005. This database contains several important bits of information on the more 75,698,330 persons whose deaths are on file with the U.S.'s Social Security Administration (SSA), including: social security number, date of issuance, state of issuance, date of birth, date of death, and last address of record. The SSDI is created from the SSA's Death Master File. It is a database of people whose deaths were reported to the SSA beginning about 1962. The SSA Death Master File and SSDI are used by leading U.S. government, financial, investigative, credit-reporting organization, medical research and other industries to verify identity as well as to prevent fraud -- and to comply with the U.S. Patriot Act. http://ssdi.rootsweb.com/ http://rwguide.rootsweb.com/lesson10.htm * * * The New York Public Library (NYPL) has put online more than 360,000 images of its Digital Gallery, including Ellis Island photographs, maps, Civil War photos, various city scenes, Native American pictures, illuminated medieval manuscripts, and other visual treasures.

TIPS FROM READERS: Dealing with Recalcitrant Computers By Susan Ball The comment from Stephanie regarding transferring files between PC and Mac using a digital camera card was most interesting -- a useful way to use a new technology. When I have issues transferring files between dissimilar or recalcitrant computers, I e-mail the file to myself as an attachment from the sending computer, download it at the receiving computer. Now that e-mail service providers are providing large amounts of storage for e-mail accounts I back up my files by e-mailing an attachment to myself. 1c. USING ROOTSWEB: Part III. Jones Saga: Separating the Wheat from the Chaff When Jack JONES begin researching his family history, sorting out what information was true and what wasn't from the notes his mother had written in the family Bible, one of the first RootsWeb mailing lists to which he subscribed was TheShipsList. He found that list and another one for US ship lists post-1820 at: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Immigration/ Jack received many good tips from list members on where to look for possible leads in finding his great-grandfather John JONES and his two brothers, Willie and Hugh, who Jack had assumed all came over at the same time (just before the American Civil War). Jack knew that two of the brothers had fought in the war as he had inherited photos of John and Willie in their Union uniforms. He had been told that Hugh had fought for the Confederacy. Given the difficulty in searching for common names such as John JONES on ship lists -- especially ships carrying Welsh immigrants named JONES to America -- Jack was not sure whether the JONESes he was finding using the various available resources were his JONESes or not. He didn't find all three brothers on one ship as he had hoped. So, Jack put the immigration search on the back burner temporarily. He turned his attention to the 1880 census index (available at http://familysearch.org/). He was a bit surprised to find not only his ancestor, John JONES, in Kentucky -- where he expected to find him -- but there was Willie in Nevada with wife, Keziah, and nearby was Hugh (who supposedly went to Australia after the Civil War) living in the same Nevada town (Virginia City) and with a wife and two children. The men were both listed as miners. The census listed Keziah as white when Jack had been told she was an Indian princess. Jack already had learned from the RootsWeb Guide that Native American tribes didn't use European royal titles such as princess, so he had been a bit skeptical already about the claim that Keziah WHITE CLOUD was a Native American. Jack decided to check RootsWeb's WorldConnect database (http://wc.rootsweb.com/) to see if anyone was researching the WHITE CLOUD family which, he thought sounded Native American. What Jack learned from a family tree he found at WorldConnect made him burst out laughing. He found Keziah WHITE (her maiden name) listed with her parents -- a North Carolina Quaker family. She was recorded in the tree as having two marriages -- first to Jonathan CLOUD, who died only a year after marrying Keziah and shortly after reaching Nevada. Keziah then married Willie JONES. Jack chuckled over the fact that Keziah WHITE CLOUD, according to the referenced pioneer settlers' biography book, was actually Keziah (WHITE) CLOUD -- a young Anglo widow and not an Indian princess at all. This made Jack realize how important it is to verify the information in all family stories. He learned to pay special attention to whether the person passing along the data was in a position to know the full story. Of course, Jack knew that he still needed to locate the original source of the information he'd found on WorldConnect and study it himself. User-submitted data, while a wonderfully helpful starting place in genealogical research, should be independently verified. Now, what about brother Hugh JONES? He was supposed to have moved to Australia. And yet there he was, living near his brother and with a wife and two children that no one had ever documented before. Next, Jack subscribed to the GENANZ-L mailing list at RootsWeb and posted a query about Hugh JONES, explaining that he was a miner working in the Nevada silver mines in 1880, who supposedly had immigrated to Australia. He received a reply suggesting, that since Hugh had been following the lure of buried treasure and hadn't left the U.S. by 1880 he might have arrived in Australia in the mid-1890s during the days of the Kalgoorlie gold rush. So, Jack joined the AUS-WA-KALGOORLIE-L mailing list and posted a query there. Almost immediately he received a reply stating that there was a Hugh JONES buried in Kalgoorlie Cemetery. He had died in 1918. The birth year on the tombstone in Kalgoorlie matched Hugh JONES's birth year per the family Bible so this appeared to be a promising lead. Jack also learned from a lookup volunteer on a locality list for NVSTOREY that Keziah (WHITE) CLOUD JONES was buried in Virginia City, Nevada, along with two JONES children. Her death date was 10 December 1891 and the children had both predeceased her. Jack checked the RootsWeb guide for Australian research and found a link to a site that gave him information on resources for Western Australia. There was a Pioneer Index and Death Index available, which might list Hugh JONES' parents' names. This should give him proof (positive or negative) that he needed. The story was beginning to take shape based upon facts being uncovered -- Hugh had lived in Nevada and immigrated to Australia as a widower sometime around 1893. Next, Jack turned his attention to the American Civil War and he subscribed to a few mailing lists he found on the RootsWeb military list index pages: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Military:_US_Civil_War/ Jack also made use of message boards on the same topic: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p= topics.Military.united-20-states.civwar Through queries Jack posted he was able to locate Hugh JONES in a Kentucky Confederate unit and he found Willie and John serving in the Kentucky Cavalry on the Union side. Jack had not known that Kentucky had soldiers fighting on both sides of the war. From the experts on the various Civil War lists and boards Jack learned how to obtain military records for his family members, which provided more information. As Jack continued to put pieces of the American and Australian puzzles together, and with his search for ship records at a temporary (he hoped) standstill, his thoughts turned to the earlier family history in Wales. Jack had joined the Glamorgan mailing list when he first began his research but had mostly lurked as he first pieced together the family history in America and Australia. He also subscribed to COALMINERS-L in an attempt to learn more about coal miners in Wales. A lookup volunteer found his JONES brothers still living with their parents on the 1851 census. The census listing indicated that all of the children as well as both parents, John and Mary JONES, were born in Llangefelach, Glamorgan, Wales. As expected, the boys' father's occupation was coal miner. There was also another brother, Owen, and two sisters, Ann and Elizabeth, who, apparently remained in Wales. This gave Jack something new to look forward to -- finding and making contact with possible cousins still living in Wales. Obviously this was not going to be a hobby for Jack's retirement that would be completed any time soon. Jack began to realize that with each new discovery new questions arose, and new family members were unearthed that needed to be traced. He also learned that when it comes to family tradition about family history, some is accurate, some has a kernel of truth, and some proves to be mythical when the facts are examined. The saga of the JONES boys was growing into epic proportions. Jack JONES learned that delving "slightly" into family history research is a bit like opening a bag of potato chips -- and trying to eat just one. 2. Connecting Through RootsWeb. Thanks for sharing your stories. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Message Boards Enable Leap Over Brick Walls By Marie Lefebvre I have been searching, albeit long distance, for a clue as to where my great-great-grandfather passed away so that I might go to the next generation. I found him in the U.S. censuses in 1840, 1850 and 1860 in Champlain, New York, and then in 1870, 1880 in Hatfield, Massachusetts. As we all know -- there is really no surviving U.S. census for 1890 so I was trying to search area townships for death records. I even tried sending to the state. However in the state records you must give a maximum 10-year span. I misjudged how old he was when he passed. (He was born in 1816 and died in 1896). His son was 40 when he passed and his wife was in her early 60s when she died. I didn't search too far into the future as the life expectancy was not that long at that time. The cemetery where his wife and son were buried (in 1882 and 1880, respectively) show no record of his burial and the stone had long since disappeared. Then one day I received an e-mail from a stranger who saw my request on the message board. This wonderful person lived in the area of my research (I'm in Texas and he is in Hampshire County, Massachusetts) and started to look for items that might help me. He went to the libraries and city clerks' offices. He read all the "Hampshire Gazettes" from that period and located information on my family -- marriages, deaths, and some tidbits of my ancestor opening a brick kiln and years later declaring bankruptcy and losing his home. That's when it occurred to me that maybe he died in a poorhouse. Again this man came to my rescue and found information in Hatfield that showed my great-great-grandfather might have passed in Holyoke, Massachusetts as the city of Hatfield assisted in the burial costs for him and he was laid to rest back in Northampton. I wrote to the city clerk via e-mail and she had a listing. I ordered a copy of the death certificate and compared the address on the death certificate to the address of my great-grandfather -- it was the same. There are wonderful people out there and had this man not come to my aid, I would still be searching in all the wrong places. Thank you for the message boards -- they really do help. ======================== Advertisements ============================ GET HELP WITH YOUR BRITISH GENEALOGY British Ancestors, a British company with researchers throughout England and Scotland, has helped more than 4,500 satisfied clients worldwide since 1999.

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]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Continuing Coincidences Mystify By Phyllis Reed I loved the stories about Jesse James and Nick Galbino and have had similar experiences myself. I found out the truth about my "captured by the Indians" ancestor and I try to remember to list all of the names by which several of my ancestors were known or recorded. Who can explain these continuing coincidences though? I have heard several explanations. "My ancestors led me there" is one we frequently hear and "genetic memory" is another. The theory that somewhere in the vast "unused" portions of our brains, we carry not only all of our own memories, both forgotten and remembered, but also those of our ancestors back to the original ancestor -- pick one based on your personal frame of reference -- entering our brains through transmission of DNA. It's "intuition" or "hunch" are other explanations we always hear. Whatever, and I haven't decided on what I believe as to why it happens or how, I do know that it does happen and happens pretty frequently, not just to me but to my fellow genealogy aficionados. I have lost count of the times when I drove around in frustration, looking for some predetermined destination, only to stumble onto a forgotten cemetery that has family with my target surnames in it. I can't even estimate the number of times when I walked away from a family plot in a cemetery and my eye caught a name on a stone off to one side that was important in leading me to a new discovery. As interesting as these experiences are, they are not nearly as interesting as the times I found myself living in places or walking through places where my ancestors lived, often without knowing that I was doing so until months or years later. For someone who never traveled a lot or intended to move much, I have had this experience all over Manhattan Island (New York), Salem and Boston, Massachusetts, and various parts of upstate New York, downstate New York and Connecticut. "Aha!" you say, "of course you would trip over ancestors who have lived in the same places for hundreds of years if you lived in those areas too and only did a minimum of traveling!" But how do I explain my move to North Carolina 10 years ago? Purely a fortuitous move, for employment and no other member of my family had ever set foot across the state line or had any connection to the South, in any way, to my knowledge at the time. Except for the cousins who I found out lived for a short time an hour a way. And then there are my daughter's ancestors next door in South Carolina as I later discovered and the army of missing FRIZZELL cousins I just discovered in the mountains; the DENTONS that named a town for the family just southwest of here. Then there is the strange connection to the Civil War involving Virginia just north of here, Georgia just south of here, and battles a half hour from my home that solved a mystery involving the grandfather I never knew. Oh, and there's the cousin who was lost from the family records and rediscovered -- living a few hours away in Virginia for the past 40 years of her life. Did I mention the discovery of the long-lost branch of my Revolutionary War-era family with relatives living 10 miles away? I could not have picked a better spot to do genealogy if I had started with all the facts and deliberately selected a place to move to. I have finally learned to relax and realize when I have once again stumbled onto a found treasure when it happens. I've learned to mumble a thanks to the heavens, pull out paper, pencil and camera if I have them with me and not question why or how -- just enjoy the moment and realize that it's OK if it takes me another half hour to get to my intended destination. Maybe it's time to get one of those cell phones that takes the pictures, too. * * * Census Notes and Comments By Beth Flood in Laguna Hills, California, USA Having been at genealogy searching for over 40 years, I remember two unusual census records that stand out in my mind, although I can't remember the exact dates or places. In one, a young couple had two daughters, named "California Mexico" and "West Florida." I suppose they were called "Callie" and "Florrie," but I wonder where these unusual names came from. The other record was in a 1820 census record, which ordinarily doesn't give much information. The census taker had written, along the edges of the page, naming the very young son of one family, and his ability to play the most beautiful melodies on the violin. What a great find that would be for a descendant of that family. * * * Bringing Us Together By Wayne Neal I read the stories that all these people have written over the many months that I have been receiving your news letter and I had to write one myself. One of the great things that my family research has brought me was the learning who my family was. I have a different last name than the one I was supposed to have and therefore I didn't know much about my family. My great-grandfather was named SHELTON, but he wasn't married to my great-grandmother, hence my different last name. Once I learned that my last name was SHELTON, I began a long search that took me to many places. I found the homestead that had been in my family for more than 200 years. I found the family cemetery where my 4-great-grandparents were buried as well as my 3-great-grandparents. I later learned that at the family church where my grandparents were buried (my grandma died when I was 12 and my grandpa died when I was 16) that this is also the graveyard where my great-great-grandpa and his son, my great-grandpa are buried. Not knowing their names, I never knew that they were buried in the same churchyard. Family research is good also because I have found eight different lines of my family I never knew existed. I remember when I was in school more years ago than I care to remember, I saw children with the same last name as I, or as some of my cousins. I thought we weren't related; well, I found out some of us are. If you search far enough, you too will find that you may be related to those people that you thought not. I have met cousins and more cousins. I told them about our annual family reunion and some of them that were able attended and shared their family research with us. This year my cousin Ron was in Stearns, Kentucky looking up information on his grandmother, my great-grandmother. While there he began talking to a woman who was doing research on her family. She was visiting from Indiana. As they talked, the names he was looking for became the topic because she was looking for some of the same names. She was great- grandma's brother's great-granddaughter. She came to the reunion and I've got pictures. I have more than 5,200 names gathered together in my family tree -- thanks to my brother's research, many cousins' and my own hard work. My work is almost complete and I have learned so much about my family. * * * On-site Search Pays Off By Herb Cunningham Read the information on 'Lost' Texas Death Certificates in RootsWeb Review 14 September 2005, with great interest. I made the effort to find my maternal grandfather's death certificate, which should have been available from the Collin County, Texas Courthouse. Went through all the recommended procedures and sent a check for the designated amount of money required to obtain such a document. As a well-known civic leader, he died 16 November 1923 in Celina, Collin County, Texas at a location that was no more that five miles from where he was born. His death certificate could not be found. I even verified that Collin County had no record of his death. Sometime later, I was in the Collin County Courthouse and in the files of the County Clerk's Office. They have a wonderful "open door" policy. I was walking down one of the isles and passed a nondescript book shelf containing what appeared to be junk. A black, one-inch notebook stood out and for some reason I stopped and took it down from the shelf. That notebook was full of very old original death certificates that included my grandfather's. I made a photocopy and returned the notebook to its original location. Then I advised a member of the clerk's staff of my findings. 8. Humor/Humour: Overworked Ancestor ------------------------------------ Thanks to: Juli Risener Morgan http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~fordad/ While researching Lunenburg County, Virginia records, I came across a death register at: http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/lunenburg/vitals/dea6566.txt There I found a Joe PHILLIPS, who died 30 January 1867 at age 65. Cause of death is listed as "worn out." * * * Found a humorous sign or entry in census, parish, church, etc. records? Send to: Editor-RWR@rootsweb.com 9.
