We received a few questions for The Forum but we always need new ones. Do you have any quirky or interesting family stories for news News from the trenches or any new information for the Were you aware.sections? Next week's county for the Favourite UK County Sites section will be the country, Ireland. A new addition - a picture - is being tried for this week's Bulletin. Hopefully this will not create too many problems for our readers. If you don't get the picture and would like it, please email us and we will send it on. Even the most sophisticated emailed newsletters have their idiosyncratic problems - I received no text at all for this month's National Archives UK newsletter.
'Who Do You Think You Are?' This new CBC television programs airs the first program of 13 parts on Thursday October 11 at 7:30p.m.
Microsoft dynamics rms support. 'Where does Don Cherry get his combativeness? Did Margot Kidder inherit her passion for social justice? Is Margaret Trudeau the descendant of a Hindu Princess? Randy Bachman visits the German port where his ancestors fled poverty for the new world, while musician Steven Page unearths details of Nazi massacres of Jews in Poland. Watch as 13 celebrities embark on fascinating journeys to discover their family roots.' The British series of the same name has been immensely popular, even spawning a magazine of the same name. We hope that the CBC can create the same buzz for Canadian Family History.
Favourite UK County Sites Next week's favourite county will be actually be a country: Ireland. Irish researchers are well aware of the problems of researching Ireland.
The encounter will be the first parliamentary test of Mr Corbyn's. Surrounding the advertising of the arms fair - with a blank space on ExCeL's calendar. To enter Eastern Croatia on Monday night over the Tovarnik/Sid border crossing. Most of the accused come from the Ukraine and Georgia.
A fire in the early 1920's destroyed about two thirds of the parish registers; only fragments of the 19th century censuses remain; and full civil registration did not start in Ireland until 1864. Still there are a lot of web-based resources available. Please send us your favourites for next week's Bulletin. This week's favourite county was Sussex. The silence was deafening - we received no suggestions for websites at all. At the Family History Centre we have 116 films containing mainly Sussex parish records, the National Burial Index CD which contains 315,000 entries for Sussex and the British Isles Vital Records Index which has about 340,000 christenings and 70,000 marriages.
As usual the GENUKI website for Sussex is worth perusing closely. The ForumQuestions: Q1/40/2007. UK.Edward Lawson was 9 months old on 2nd July 1837 when he died of 'Hoopingcough' at the farm called Beckside in Hellifield, near Settle in the county of York. William Lawson, the Brother, Farmer's Son, was the informant. If this is the person I think it is, he would have just been ten years of age. Did an informant on a death certificate have to be 'of age'? This was also a very early certificate - so maybe restrictions weren't quite so tight?
Wisconsin, USA.Our researcher is wondering why the groom in this wedding photo of about 1900 in Wisconsin is wearing an apron for this formal picture. Also does the gentleman in the front have his hat balanced on a gun or a stick?
The rest of the photograph shows a neat two storey farmhouse in the middle of cleared fields with many tree stumps still visible and lots of women and children off to the right. The groom has two glasses and an empty jug (of beer?) in his hands and a stogie hanging out of his mouth. It is a great photo but why the apron? A patron wishing to view a film ordered by another patron should check first with staff. The patron who ordered the film will always have priority. Any patron may renew a film ordered by another patron although the original patron's name will continue to appear on the label.
The description of the film given above may not be a full description. A film number search in the Family History Library Catalog will reveal the full content of the film. The geographical abbreviations used above are based on the Chapman codes. Were you aware.. Scotland/CanadaA person with Scottish roots dropped in this week and made us aware of a few more useful Scottish websites: This website has a number of databases which have been indexed for easy searching - about 220,000 records.
You must sign in with a password but the searching is free. Databases include Poor Relief and World Wars Casualty indexes but the one our informant found most useful was the Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald database.
This has the index to many of the Birth, Marriage, Anniversary, Death, Memoriam, Missing in Action, etc. Notices from this newspaper. Our researcher found that even when the death was in Canada, notice may have been made in the hometown newspaper. This website has access to photographs of many, many headstones and some Scottish towns. While the photographs are no longer on the actual website, email the website owner and he will apparently email you back the requested photograph. Non-Conformist Birth, Marriage and Death Index On-line The National Archives UK announced that they have put Non-confomist BMDs on-line. Provides access to the non-parochial and nonconformist registers 1567-1840 held in RG 4 and RG5.
