"Moundville, Missouri 1860-1910," by Lyndon N. Irwin, Ph.D., is a comprehensive look at one of the older towns in Vernon County, which pre-dates the Civil War. This recently published book, which took more than five years to research, includes information on schools, churches, coal mines, people, and businesses that all added up to the successes of the town. Read stories about the Whiskey Wars and the Murder of Ella Wray, granddaughter of Noah Lafayette Caton, and about the town fires and post office robberies. Additionally, there are records from the Moundville Lutheran and Methodist churches, Cooper College, and the pioneer Moundville Cemetery. Indexed with more than 890 surnames, the book is documented with footnotes, and illustrations by Barbara Jean Marlow Irwin. This 250-page softbound 8.5x11-inch book is available ($22.50 postpaid book rate) from: Tri-County Genealogical Society, P. O. Box B, Nevada, MO 64772 http://www.rootsweb.com/~motcogs/ * * * SOME SITES WORTH SEEING: Australia. The Australian National University (ANU) has launched a Dictionary of Biography, which contains 10,000 articles on people who have played an important role in the history of Australia and who died before 1980. There are three ways to browse -- by people, occupation, or author -- and you can do a quick keyword search or try the advanced search tab. http://www.adb.online.anu.edu.au/ New France. These are two websites of ships that came to New France with sailors and passengers lists. The first one is between 1497 and 1699 and the second one covers the period from 1700 to 1763. http://naviresnouvellefrance.iquebec.com/ http://naviresnouvellefrance1700.iquebec.com/ * * * 1b. TIPS FROM READERS: Tricks of the Trade By Rose Parks I have searched for someone I knew should be in a certain census in a specific county by entering only the surname, state, and county using Soundex. I have also found others I knew should be there by entering only the given name, state, and county. This helps you find those who use initials only or the census takers misspell the surname so badly it doesn't show up. * * * Continued on Next Page By Mary Mitchell Guler I had heard that my ancestor, Robert Henry MITCHELL, married a widower who had three children at the time of their marriage. Her first husband was said to have died of consumption, and "shortly after their marriage, the children also died." Nothing more was known of this family. However, one of my grandfather's sisters wrote her memoirs and stated that her grandmother's first husband's surname was ALLEN. When I subscribed to an online genealogical service that allowed me to search the censuses, I was pleased to find my great-great-grandparents in the 1860 New York census, living in Yonkers, Westchester County. Listed as living with them were my infant great-grandfather, George, and two other children, listed as Henry and Lizzie (no last name specified). I was unable to find this family in the 1870 census, but found them in the 1880 census in New Jersey. Henry and Lizzie were no longer with them. In later years, the surname Mitchell was alternatively recorded with only one "l" and I thought some other spellings might be to blame. Because I could not find further information about Henry and Lizzie, I believed that they had died, as the family story had suggested. I was disappointed that I could not prove or disprove that their surname was ALLEN. Late in my great-great-grandfather's life, he was cared for by a daughter, Elizabeth JACKSON, but I was unable to find her birth record. It appeared that she may have been the youngest child, who perhaps had married, been widowed early, and left without children. On a recent trip back through the census information online, almost by accident, I went to the next page of the census while looking at the 1880 census for Jersey City, Hudson County, New Jersey. The family, as I knew it, ended at the bottom of the page, but at the top of the next page were Henry ALLEN and Elizabeth ALLEN who were listed as borders and living with my family! From this information I was further able to determine that the Elizabeth JACKSON caring for my ancestor late in life was actually his stepdaughter -- not a daughter born later in his life. If you find your family listed at the top or bottom of a census page, always check the previous and following pages to make certain you are not missing other family member or some information. * * * 1c. USING ROOTSWEB: Unmasking Those Hiding Ancestors When you begin researching your family history the very first lesson you learn is to begin with yourself and work your way back one generation at a time, working from what you know to what you don't know. It is excellent advice. Most of us come to a point in working back through our various family lines where we reach a stumbling block and can't seem to make further progress. Frequent reasons for these dead ends are spelling variations and/or name changes. We often start with the assumption that our KING ancestors are English and that the name was always spelled that way. What surname could be easier to spell than KING? However, KING could be a translation of the Germanic surname KONIG and the stumbling block in your research could be your failure to recognize the name change due to the translation of the surname. Your BAKERs might be BECKERs and your OLDFATHERs might be ALTVATERs. Consider all possibilities. Sometimes the obstacle in our path is not as easy to explain as a translation of a name. It could be merely an evolutionary spelling change, often based upon the sound of the surname when spoken. Perhaps your CLINEs were originally KLEIN and the name sounded like the more English CLINE and the spelling change stuck. Other times the surname did not permanently change but was spelled differently on a few documents that are standing between you and the connection you are looking for. Even though CLINE and KLEIN are similar in sound, they are not even close in spelling. Using a search box to find a census listing or a WorldConnect family tree that matches your ancestors can be problematic because of a difference in spelling. Even a less drastic spelling variation such as your LANEs originally being LEHNs can throw off your searches. Take the Dutch surname VAN METER. A change as seemingly insignificant as the elimination of a space between VAN and METER could result in your inability to locate matching records already online for your family. Add to this problem the fact that VANMETER could have evolved into VANMETRE and you can see how what at first appears like a simple search can require several searches trying all possible spellings--including adding and eliminating spaces. Even when a surname does not evolve or change spelling, changes in the spelling of a given name can result in a search going awry. An ancestor with the name Simon SMITH might be indexed as Simeon SMITH and even such a minor difference in spelling of a given name can result in lack of a match when searching for an exact spelling. Your William SMITH could have been recorded on a census as Bill, Willie, or W. R., and an exact search for William won't turn up the result you wish to find. We won't even think about the German feminine suffix of "in" on the end of a female ancestor's surname and how that could confuse the search issues. SCHNEIDER could easily be indexed as SCHNEIDERIN for your elusive great-grandmother. Patronymic names can also cause one to wander off down the wrong fork in the road in our ancestral searches. Assuming that two Scandinavian ancestors named PETERSON are related might be misleading when patronymic naming patterns might merely indicate that the given (first) name of both men's fathers was Peter--making them each a PETERSON--Peter's sons. The same trap could befall your Welsh ancestors as the Welsh "ap" names are also patronymic. David OWEN's son might be named Hugh ap DAVID merely indicating his father's given name. And, did you know that PRICE, one of the commonest of Welsh names, is an Anglicized form of the Welsh "ap RHYS" (son of Rhys). See what can happen to a name along the tangled paths and through the centuries? So when tracing back through the thicket of tangled surnames and given names in your family trees remain alert for the thorns of deception that are waiting to ensnare you. And, beware of faulty assumptions about your names and how they are spelled or recorded in the pages of history. * * * * * * * * * * Advertisements * * * * * * * * * * FREE $10 gift card with your $50 order Save now -- save even more later with this special offer: FREE $10 gift card with your $50 merchandise order.

CONNECTING THROUGH ROOTSWEB: Sometimes You Just Get Lucky By Pamela Treme in Land O'Lakes, Florida, USA Billie June LUKE, my uncle, was a genealogy Tom Sawyer. He was always interested, always asking questions, but never doing the research himself. He however had me -- his English-major niece -- who knew how to do the research for him! One frequent question he asked me right up until his death was, "Have you found Mary Elizabeth?" Mary Elizabeth LUKE and my uncle Billie and his siblings, Joy Evelyn TREMÉ and James Brice TREMÉ (my father) were first cousins. By virtue of their close relationship, my uncle, aunt, and father remained in touch with each other all through their lives. Mary Elizabeth, however, was lost to the LUKE/TREMÉ family when her parents had a bitter divorce. My uncle always wondered what happen to his only cousin. He wanted to know how she had fared in life and if she had children. He died without answers to his many questions, because in all my many years of research, I never found one scrap of information on Mary Elizabeth. Recently I did an idle search for Mary Elizabeth in a fee-based service and there she was. A fellow researcher had her married to Robert Hearn DURHAM and noted that they had both died in California. Following this researcher's lead, I looked both of them up in the California death records. Mary Elizabeth DURHAM, born 5 June 1922 in Illinois, the daughter of LUKE and MIFFIN, had died 16 November 1994 in San Luis Obispo. My Mary Elizabeth was born 5 June 1922 in Du Quoin, Perry County, Illinois, the daughter of Aril Webster LUKE and Sylvia MIFFLIN. Hey, I was onto something here! My next move was to post a query with the information I had on the San Luis Obispo mailing list. I asked if anyone could tell me what newspaper I should be looking in to locate obituaries. In response, the very gracious Martha Crosley GRAHAM sent me JPEGs of the obituaries. At the end of Mary Elizabeth's obituary it noted that she was married to Robert Lee DURHAM who died in 1985. My fellow researcher on the fee-based service had made a mistake. He had my Mary Elizabeth married to the wrong Robert DURHAM. What a lucky mistake for me. From that point forward, I was able to start collecting information on Mary Elizabeth and contact my newfound second cousins. In one of life's many quirks, Mary Elizabeth and my uncle had both lived in the Los Angeles area for years -- practically in each other's backyard. And in a final twist of fate, when I located Mary Elizabeth's burial site, I gasped. She's buried in Riverside National Cemetery in section G site 435. My uncle is in section 56C site 1649. Separated in life, they were reunited in death. * * * Did you leap over some brick walls or cleverly figure out where your grandmother was hiding in a census? Do tell!

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]. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculous Privacy Laws Hinder Family History By Sherman Watkins The guarding of privacy beyond all rationality extends far beyond birth certificates. My grandmother's older brother married a woman who, by the 1920 census, was living in the North Texas State Hospital. My father, using some un-PC language explained that she had been committed to the state mental hospital, but could not recall much more beyond that. (It has been a few years.) The hospital will not confirm anyone, even long dead, was a patient. They will not let anyone survey their cemetery with some 4,000 long-term residents. Unless a patient was released and resumed life elsewhere they effectively ceased to exist once they entered the hospital's door. Thank goodness the census is less passionate about privacy. Because of the census I know where she was in 1920. I know she was not there 10 years later. I know her children went to live with various members of her family. I know her husband (my granduncle) was living with two women not his wife in Dallas, Texas in 1930. I do not know why she was committed or by whom. However, the subsequent living arrangements of her husband and children raise some interesting questions. I do not know when she died or where she was buried. Even if her parents had brought her home to Tarrant County, Texas for burial they seem not to have publicized the fact. Available census information removed any hope of preventing what embarrassment is possible after 80 years. Privacy rules make this poor woman a cipher to future generations and effectively keep her stripped of her humanity. * * * RIP in Marital Bliss By Amy Hedrick http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~amylyn/ Found this item in "The Advertiser and Appeal," Brunswick, Glynn County, Georgia, dated Wednesday, 5 September 1877: In the Mount Auburn Cemetery, Boston, is a lot containing five stones, one stands corner and one in the center. [sic] The latter is inscribed "Our Husband" and the others respectively bear "My I Wife," "My II Wife," "My III Wife," and "My IV Wife." Which [one] died first? * * * GRIM Search Successful -- Finally By Carolyn Graham in Bakersfield, California, USA For more than 40 years I searched for my husband's grandfather, George Bradford GRIM, who was born in 1878 in Kentucky (according to his death certificate). My mother-in-law, Alma GRIM, was a very private person and refused to talk about any of her family or answer any polite personal questions. After her death we found out why, but that's another story. After 40 years I had a total of seven GRIMs in my database, my mother- in-law, her father, her brother, his children and some unrelated GRIMs. Every trip I made to Salt Lake included one or two days searching, eventually, almost every Kentucky book they had in the Family History Library (FHL). I found few GRIMs in the entire state during George's time period. Then one day last April I was searching the Internet for one of my DARNELL ancestors. I ran across one of the DARNELLs who had married a GRIM. Just for curiosity's sake, I followed this fellow back through his line. Lo and behold, there among these GRIMs was George Bradford! I had a difficult time adjusting to the fact that after 40 years he was no longer missing. I am happy to say that I now have a stack of pages about two inches high covered with data that I am joyfully entering into my program. Oh, by the way, he was born in Pennsylvania, not Kentucky. And among the GRIMS there are lots of DARNELLs, too. And I've been able to add a new connection between my husband and me. Now we're related five times, twice in our direct lines and three times through marriage. Life is strange and wonderful, isn't it? The two families, one part from Germany, England, and Missouri and another from Ireland, Scotland, and Indiana, finally got together in California. I think I like doing this work. * * * Rite or Wrong? By Chari Engle in Utah, USA While my husband was doing some genealogical research for the BAKER family, the name of Henry A. BAKER appeared as a child. The record gave his birth date and a cantonment date. He was a little puzzled by the word cantonment, so he referenced Webster's Dictionary for further review. This is the definition provided: 1. The assignment of troops to temporary quarters; 2. the quarters assigned. * * * U.S. Census Helps Canadian Find Irish Roots By Peter McMenamin, Ph.D. My father (Joseph McMENAMIN), grandfather (Willie McMENAMIN), and great-grandfather (Thomas Louis McMENAMIN) were all born in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada. My great-great grandfather (James McMENAMIN) died in 1910 and is buried in New Brunswick, but where he was born (likely Ireland) and when he came to New Brunswick is a mystery. I did get some clues from my mother and from the 1930 census that were unexpected. My mom happened to tell me that when Willie and family left Saint John for New York, his father (with second wife and young child also stayed in New York before returning to New Brunswick. As a result, I went back to the 1930 census (New York) having previously found Willie, Marion, young Joseph, and Fred to find Thomas Louis, Lilian, and Harold. But the unexpected part was Thomas Louis's entries for parentage. His census record indicates that both his mother and father were born in Northern Ireland. Originally I didn't know whether that was the official Northern Ireland or generic northern Ireland. (McMENAMINs have two major sources: one through Donegal in the northern part of the Irish Republic and the other in Tyrone in Northern Ireland.) When I printed the census page column headers zooming out so my mother could more easily read them, I became aware of the instructions to enumerators. In fact, they were instructed to specifically identify whether Irish parents lived in the Irish Republic or Northern Ireland. Thus, through sort of a fluke I believe I know which McMENAMIN branch is mine. Also, I had tentatively identified a James McMenamin from shipping records who immigrated to New Brunswick on the John Clarke in 1847 (when he would have been 21). As it happens, that James was from Stranolar/Donegal. There was a later James who shipped on the Mary Ann in 1852 who was listed as emigrating from Claudy, a Roman Catholic parish spanning both Tyrone and Londonderry. I can't rule out either one, but the latter one now seems more likely to have been my great-great-grandfather. * * * Properly Named for the Job By Bob Fleming in Titusville, Florida, USA The former pastor at our church was named Peter LORD. There was another pastor in our small hometown named PRIESTER. An Orlando, Florida television station once had a sportscaster named Mike STORMS and the meteorologist was named Danny TREYNOR (pronounced trainer). [They should have switched jobs]. I met a flight attendant once whose last name was WINGS. * * * Flower Names Once Blossomed Profusely on Family Trees By Bobbie Rennie I have been researching a Daisy FINCH from Mobile, Alabama, and in my searches found quite a few of them. Evidently, Daisy was a very popular name for young ladies at one time. Then, I came across a record, unexpectedly, of a Virginia, which fit her time frame and family. Could Daisy possibly be a nickname for Virginia? [Editor's note: Daisy is a name that springs from two origins. It may have come from one of the earliest of the flower names, which were popular at one time or it could have come as a translation of the French name Marguerite. Daisy was a popular name for girls in America in the second half of the 19th century due in part to a book, "Daisy Miller" (1879) and it being the girl's name in a popular song, "A Bicycle Built for Two." Her name might have been Virginia Daisy and she went by her middle name.] 7.
