EDITOR'S DESK: NEWS, NOTES; SOME SITES WORTH SEEING 1a. EDITOR'S DESK: The next National Census of Canada is scheduled to take place Tuesday, 16 May 2006. For the first time in the 340 years censuses have been conducted in the territory that was destined to become Canada, respondents will be asked to provide consent for the release of information they provide -- 92 years after collection. Until now, no such consent was required. Only if you mark "YES" to this question will your personal information be made public later. If you mark NO" or leave the answer blank, your personal information will never be made publicly available. According to Gordon A. Watts, of British Columbia, and the co-chair of the Canada Census Committee, "Inclusion of this 'informed consent' provision was the price forced upon genealogists and historians seeking to regain public access to Historic Census records to which existing legislation already stated we were entitled. "We had been advised that unless this provision was accepted the government would not present the Bill (S-18) to end our seven-year campaign to regain public access to Historic Census records in accordance with provisions of the Access to Information and Privacy Acts. On Census Day -- 16 May -- make sure you answer YES to allow your information to be made available to your descendants in 2098."

TIPS FROM READERS: Fraternally Yours By Horrall West Several years back, I was researching my ancestor, Josiah RAINES, in Monroe County, Alabama. The fact that I knew he died about 1836 did not help when I searched the probate records for the settlement of his estate. He owned land so there had to be a land transfer if it was sold prior to his death and search of the deed books showed nothing there. I had heard from other family researchers that there was indeed a probate of his estate, but they were unable to tell me more than a few items they had been told were there. After many days, letters, and phone calls, I had just about come to a REAL wall. In a conversation with a brother Freemason we were discussing the fact that we are always taught to take care of the widows and the orphans. He also told me that "in the early days" when a man died and had any children under 14 years of age, they were considered orphaned. This was due to the fact that women at that time had few rights. Bingo! I rushed back to the Monroe County Courthouse (150 miles) and looked in the Orphan Court Records. There I found the complete listing of the settlement of his estate. (As a side note; there is very little personal information on a Freemason's record in the lodge and very few lodge secretaries are paid for their lodge work, so don't expect much if you try to get information from the lodge. Also, most lodges are just now getting their membership rolls on computer and put only the current members when they build the database -- names of deceased members are on a paper sheet filed in the back of the closet.)

USING ROOTSWEB: Finding Your WorldConnect File Fast Fred FAST realizes that his family history research will never be a "completed" task. It is a hobby he plans to continue pursuing in his less than copious spare time. However, he has reached the point at which he has added several hundred well-documented entries to his genealogy program and created a GEDCOM file. His next step is to upload the GEDCOM to RootsWeb's WorldConnect (http://wc.rootsweb.com) where he anticipates he'll soon be contacted by others connected in some way to his family. This is his goal -- to make contact with other FAST researchers. The uploading of Fred's rather small FAST family GEDCOM takes place very (pardon the pun) fast. It takes only a minute or two for the confirma- tion screen to come up letting him know that his family tree is now safely ensconced among all the other databases within the huge combined WorldConnect/Ancestry Family Tree database. Fred clicks the link on the confirmation page to be taken to his newly minted family tree file and quickly checks it over to be sure everything is in order -- it is. Fred's wife hollers for him to get off the computer because dinner is ready. So he shuts down the browser and heads in the direction of the enticing smells. Later that evening Fred's Aunt Frieda stops by for a brief visit. She is the older family member from whom Fred has taken over the semi-official role of "family historian," so he is eager to show her his latest accomplishment. Accessing the main WorldConnect page, Fred figures he'll search and locate his new GEDCOM. He'd have bookmarked the page earlier had he not been interrupted by the summons to the dinner table. Hmmm...things were not going as Fred planned. He knows his family tree was uploaded successfully to WorldConnect, but he'll be darned if he can find it. Where did Fred (and hundreds of new WorldConnect submitters) go wrong? He forgot that for searches to work at WorldConnect (and elsewhere on the Internet) newly input data and files have to be indexed first by the search engine(s), which means there's lag (in this case the lag may be up to 36 hours) before any new data is accessible through a search. The data is there for you to access directly, but it is not findable using the search engine. To find the file until indexing takes place bookmark the link on the confirmation page after your GEDCOM is uploaded. Failing that, there is still another method you can use to locate it and that is by typing the usercode you established to be the name of your file in the box on the main WorldConnect page where it says: "or -- jump to a specific database." Now here's another tip for Aunt Frieda who doesn't have a home computer but who does like to use the library computer on occasion, and who most assuredly will want to show the ladies in her senior citizens' genealogy group what her clever nephew has been up to. Frieda probably won't remember the usercode of Fred's tree but, after the GEDCOM has been indexed by the search engine she will be able to find the file using one of the following methods. She can do a KEYWORD search, looking for the option: "or -- Find a specific database by keyword." KEYWORD searching enables you to find a database by the submitter's name, e-mail address, or database title even if you don't know the surnames to look for or URL (Web address) of the database. So all Frieda has to do to find the file using this method is to type in Fred's name or e-mail address, which she is more likely to remember than the usercode. Or, since Frieda is knowledgeable as to the surnames included in the GEDCOM, she can click on the following option: "or -- Find databases containing a list of surname(s)." She can list a few of the surnames in the file to locate trees that have the greatest chance of matching more than one of the surnames she knows to be included in Fred's file. Frieda will have the best luck if she chooses several of the less common surnames. While many databases in WorldConnect would have the surnames SMITH JONES ROBINSON for instance -- very few would match all of Fred and Frieda's surnames such as RACEWELL SPEEDWORTHY SWIFT. So using those surnames could narrow down any false hits in a search enabling Frieda to find Fred's GEDCOM easily. Should you ever find yourself in Fred's position of trying to locate your recently uploaded (or updated) GEDCOM on WorldConnect, remember to use the "jump to" box for a SWIFT resolution to the problem. Also, remember the handy keyword and multiple surname searches to keep your WorldConnect searches on the FAST track. * * * * * * * * * * Advertisements * * * * * * * * * * GET HELP WITH YOUR BRITISH GENEALOGY BRITISH ANCESTORS will search the records of your English and Scottish ancestors stored in archives throughout England and Scotland, most of which are unavailable on the Internet.

CONNECTING THROUGH ROOTSWEB: Leap Frogging Across the Pond By Stewart O. Would in Rolston, East Yorkshire, UK In 1976, a schoolteacher took some rubbish to the village tip in Rudston, East Yorkshire. He saw that someone had recently dumped an amount of letters, documents and other personal belongings. Amongst them was a small photograph album bound in red leatherette and brass, complete with its contents of 20 to 30 snapshot and studio photographs. He took away only the complete album and left the other things to nature. In December 1976, builder and local historian, Walter BURGESS, did some building work for the teacher and got to talking about local history. The teacher dug out the album and Walter immediately recognised many of the people in the photographs as DOWSONS. And there was the name Edith DOWSON written inside. Walt had grown up in Rudston with the DOWSON family, and in fact had been expected by some people to "take up" with one of Edith’s nieces! It transpired that Edith had died in Bridlington Hospital, aged 94, on 7 November 1976. Why her personal belongings were dumped in the village tip we will never know. Walt came away with the album and added it to his growing collection of Rudston memorabilia. About 1984 I started to ask family history questions around the family. Auntie Gert [Gertrude Hilda CHAMBERLAIN nee DOWSON] told me about a DOWSON cousin who had immigrated to Canada around 1896 after marrying their cousin (another DOWSON) from Langtoft. Gert also remembered that she had returned some time later to run fairground rides. I noted those memories down with all the other bits and pieces. Back in 1955, a family history researcher in Ontario, Canada -- William Clifton Herbert DOWSON (known as Dick!) -- sent a Christmas card to Mr. and Mrs. Charles DOWSON in Rudston, Yorkshire. This was part of his extensive effort to link with DOWSON relatives in England. Judging by his address book, which still survives, he was a prolific letter writer in this search. The Internet and Family History Societies were undreamed-of facilities then and Dick uncovered masses of information the hard way. Mrs. DOWSON replied by letter on 28 December 1955 telling Dick, amongst other things: "My husband Charlie has a sister living in Canada and she married a cousin from Langtoft near Driffield. She did not change her name and she lives in Saskatoon." That letter survives, with others, in the archives of his daughter and keen researcher Mary DOWSON Harris in Ontario. In January 2003, the writer had discovered Mary DOWSON HARRIS through a family history website and we have e-corresponded continuously since then. Mary is the daughter of William Clifton Herbert "Dick" DOWSON. Mary and her husband Ray met up with the writer and other East Yorkshire cousins in the autumn of 2003. Mary in turn discovered Walt BURGESS, the keeper of the album, via another website -- the Rudston Newsletter, in Novermber 2005, almost exactly 50 years after that letter left Rudston bound for Canada. Walter made good use of a new scanner by copying the pictures from the album and sending them by e-mail to Mary and me. He maintained the suspense by regularly drip-feeding them to us. By mid-February 2006, we had about a couple of dozen on file. January 2006 was an intense period of family history discoveries. For one thing, new cousin-researchers were emerging at a tremendous rate. It was hard to keep up with all the correspondence. There were many complex e-mails between Mary and me. It was in the middle of all this that the link between what Auntie Gert had said and the content of Mary's letter of 1955 became apparent. The cousins to which Auntie Gert referred and those that Charlie’s wife wrote about turned out to be Richard DOWSON (born in Langtoft about 1882 to James and Ruth) and Florence DOWSON (born in 1880 -- sister of Charles). It’s probable that Gert’s remembered emigration date of 1896 was inaccurate as Richard would have been only 14 then. But at least we had proof of the "kissin’ cousins!" In 1891, Richard was living in Front Street, Langtoft with his parents and his brothers Charles, Arthur and Robert. The census also shows that Harry, a grandson of James and Ruth was there, but he was only four years younger than Richard. Richard and Florence married in Hull during the first three months of 1900 and the 1901 census shows them at home at 12 Alexandra Avenue, Arundel Street, Hull. Richard is 19 and working as a corn-miller’s drayman. A search for some mention of their emigration found them aboard the SS Ivernia with their nine-year-old son, Sidney, sailing from Liverpool on 13 March 1912. On the ship’s manifest, their last permanent address was in Hull and their nearest relatives are given as their parents at 12 Charlotte's Terrace, Clarendon Street, Hull. However, another copy of the SS Ivernia’s manifest for the same date of 13 March 1912 shows their last permanent address as Calgary rather than Hull! Their destination is shown as Winnipeg. The records show that they arrived in New York on 25 March. Just 20 days later (14 April 14 1912) the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the north Atlantic! One can imagine their relief. Just out of interest, the SS Ivernia was torpedoed and sunk by a U-boat off Greece in 1917. Florence and Richard started a new life on Canadian soil but Florence’s brother Charles continued to live in Rudston as, I believe, did her sister Edith, where she started to build up her album of photographs from near and far. More research during early 2006 showed that Richard’s three brothers -- Clifton, Charles, and Arthur -- also went out to Canada some time between 1901 and 1914. Charles set up home in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan with his wife, Elsie and on 1 April 1916 at the age of 30 signed up with the Canadian Infantry (Saskatchewan Regiment). He made the long journey back to war-torn Europe and was killed in France on 18 November 1916. He lies in the Anadac Military Cemetery, Miraumont. Arthur was 25 and unmarried when he enlisted for the Canadian Over-seas Expeditionary Force and nominated his father James in Langtoft as his next-of-kin. His brothers James and Robert and three sisters -- Sarah, Ruth, and Pauline -- seem to have remained back in Yorkshire. On 14 April 1916, Clifton, also known to be living in Saskatoon, went through the enrollment procedure, but the documents tell us he was declared medically unfit some five months later on 23 September. He was 40 years old and we can imagine that his wife Anne-Marie breathed a sigh of relief. As these words are written (February 2006), it’s pretty certain that some of the photographs from Edith’s album and now in Walt’s care, feature some of the people mentioned above, but as yet there are no positive identifications. It would be wonderful to end with something more conclusive regarding the subjects in the photographs, and to fill in some of the many gaps. However, I’m certain some more information is out there somewhere just waiting to be stumbled upon -- on a rubbish tip maybe? * * * Did you leap over some brick walls or cleverly figure out where your grandmother was hiding in a census?

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]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just the Facts, Ma'am By Susan Dwyer in Auckland, NZ (s.dwyer@clear.net.nz) Yet again RootsWeb Review readers have shown what a dedicated bunch of sleuths they are. In the 22 March Review I signed off a letter with a tongue in cheek ending saying "I would be interested in any sightings of records of Rose Elizabeth DISNEY who immigrated to the United States in 1919 . . ." I omitted my e-mail address, yet several readers went the extra mile to track me down through the DISNEY mailing list leaving me messages. Others sent messages through the editor.I am very grateful for the effort these people have gone to and the information they have given me. I should have stated the known facts, few though they may be -- Rose Elizabeth DISNEY was born in London on the 17 August 1887. She is listed on the 1891 and 1901 English census and entered the United States in 1919. An entry on the 1920 U.S. census shows her boarding with a family in Quincy, Norfolk (Massachusetts). The last sighting of her is on a 1923 re-entry into the U.S. I apologise for this error of not giving all the facts but wish to thank RootsWeb for giving us the opportunity to "advertise" for our lost family members. * * * Finding a Home for Colorado Treasures By Bobbie Coons in Garland, Texas, USA Over 20 years ago, while I was working as a secretary for a major international moving company in Dallas, Texas, a household good shipment came in from Castle Rock, Colorado and went into storage in Dallas, Texas. Several years passed and the shipment was never paid for and efforts to contact the shipper were unsuccessful, the goods were destined to be sold to pay for the moving costs. As they were getting the items ready to be sold at auction, a chest of personal items was found and was going to be disposed of. There was an old family photo album which had pictures from the 1800s and I just could not see throwing away those pictures so I brought the album home with me, wrapped it up and put it in the bottom of a hall closet and in time I forgot about it. A week or so ago, I went into that closet for something else and found the old album there, along with a little book (all in Swedish) and several old postcards sent to various members of this family. I began looking through these things and it came to me that we can now do things that we could not do 20 years ago, now that we have computers. I am a genealogist so I began researching this family. I was not having any luck because only a few of the pictures had any identification and those names did not come up in my research. One night about a week ago I found in the RootsWeb archives some cemetery records for Castle Rock, Colorado and there I found this family -- pioneer father and mother, their children and their spouses -- all buried together. Since I now had names and birth and death dates I was able to find descendants of this family in genealogical research. I sent an e-mail to the great-great-granddaughter of this pioneer father and found where I could send the family items to them. They were very surprised and grateful. A few days ago, I put in the mail this family album, the little Swedish book and the family postcards, several of which are quite valuable. Finally these things will be where they belong. What great good computers can be used for! 7.
