Happy Ancestor Hunting!

As I write this post it is the end of November, the weather has turned colder, the leaves have fallen from the tree and it also means that we will gather with friends and family to celebrate Thanksgiving. While thinking on that subject and genealogy I was reminded of blog post that was shared a while back and I wanted to share it again for Thanksgiving with some updated information. Enjoy! <br />
<br /><br />
As we gather together on Thanksgiving the talk often times turns to our families and traditions. How many of us, in listening to the family stories, have discovered that we have descended from those who celebrated the first Thanksgiving? <br />
<br />
<br />
If you are one of these individuals did you know that there is a lineage society that you can join? The General Society of the Mayflower Descendants, was organized in Plymouth, Massachusetts on January 12, 1897. It is a national organization of descendants of the passengers who arrived on the Mayflower to New England in November of 1620. Of the 102 individuals that were on board there were 26 heads of families. Their names are as follows;<br />

To join the General Mayflower Society it is much like joining any other lineage society (i.e. D.A.R., Colonial Dames, S.A.R.), your first step is to begin the process of filling out a family tree showing your direct line to your Mayflower Ancestor. The Stark County District Library has many resources that can help in your search. The following is a link to the Genealogy Resources of <a href="http://catalog.starklibrary.org/iii/encore/search/?search-type=catalog&q=Mayflower+Genealogy&formids=target&lang=eng&suite=def&reservedids=lang%2Csuite&submitmode=&submitname=&target=Mayflower+Genealogy">Mayflower Descendants.</a> <br />
<br />
The next step in the process is to contact the Ohio Mayflower Society and request a preliminary application. This will give you the information about membership, fees, dues and instructions for filling in the names of your direct ancestors to your Mayflower ancestor. At this point no documentation is needed (although, it doesn't hurt to have it ready when you are doing your initial search so you don't have to go back an get it later). The state historian will then read over your synopsis and determine what documentation is needed. Typically you will need only documentation up to the last person who in your tree that is already in the society. <br />
<br />
Once the State Historian has determined the documentation that is needed. He/She will give you the official papers that you will record all the generations on and attached the documentation. This paperwork will then be submitted to the state for election into the society. <br />

Happy Thanksgiving!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09810617880064299705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703155009839365414.post-38284653057059038372014-11-11T15:46:00.000-08:002014-11-11T15:46:49.970-08:00Genealogy What's New: Revolutionary War SoldiersWelcome to this weeks SCDL Tree Talk Tuesday Blog. Today is Veterans day. A day set aside to honor the brave men and women who serve in the military. So with that in mind when choosing to share a new resource in the Genealogy Department I choose two books that focus on soldiers. The first is "Soldiers of the Revolutionary War: Buried in Vermont" by Walter H. Crockett and the second being "Patriots of Valor: Saluting our American Revolution Soldiers, Sailors and Patriots" by the Lycoming Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution". <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8dCdfMaSl2Sx9GKwFvacHC_z9CmdSx_ZQoc0cWsMxuF2USk067FHCBbQsFkczcVyQstAn3VvZphe8hc7CA1FenDkKyo3vO7UyhIJZTCOi2SqMQL5AxVV4n47_ylT-LWorliK5ZKOP6i2X/s1600/hw7.pl.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8dCdfMaSl2Sx9GKwFvacHC_z9CmdSx_ZQoc0cWsMxuF2USk067FHCBbQsFkczcVyQstAn3VvZphe8hc7CA1FenDkKyo3vO7UyhIJZTCOi2SqMQL5AxVV4n47_ylT-LWorliK5ZKOP6i2X/s1600/hw7.pl.jpeg" /></a>If you are researching family in Vermont that may have served during the Revolutionary War then you may want to check out Mr. Crockett's book; "Soldiers of the Revolutionary War: Buried in Vermont". Though in size the book is small (only 80 pages in length), it is filled with many names and some anecdotes of soldiers. Mr. Crockett prefaces the book with how it came to be and explains where and how the information for the book was acquired. He then goes on to give the anecdotes of some of the soldiers. For example. "William Cox, of West Fairlee, Adam Beals, of St. Albans, and Lieut, John. Wyman (sic), of Dummerston, were present at, and had a part in, the famous "Boston Tea Party," Dec. 16, 1773" (pg 6).<br />
The next section of the book (beginning on page 16 ) is the listing of Revolutionary Soldiers buried in Vermont by town name. That section is followed by a listing of Invalid Pensioners and Pensioners under the act of June 7, 1832. The soldiers are listed by counties and that begins on page 43. The final section of the book is another list of burials in Vermont compiled by Mr. Crockett himself and is an additional listing to the first set of burials at the beginning of the book.<br />
<br />
The second book that is new to the department is " Patriots of Valor: "Saluting our American Revolution Soldiers, Sailors and Patrios"prepared by the Lycoming Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. This book was originally published in 2001 and it's goal was to "...include information on as many of the Daughter's ancestors as possible."<br />
<br />
The book begins with a table of contents listing of all the soldiers that are covered in the book. Each soldier then has a page (or two) with their biographical information, military information, DAR lineage and references. It concludes with an all name index, making searching easy. Like Mr. Crockett's book the Patriots of Valor is a great resource.<br />
<br />
<br />
Both of these book and many others are available in the Military Section of the Genealogy Department at SCDL. Come on in take a look. Until next week...<br />
<br />
Happy Ancestor Hunting! <br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Welcome to this week's SCDL Tree Talk Tuesday Blog post. There has been some exciting news in the world of Genealogy for those looking for Ohio Death Records after 1953. Beginning in October the Ohio History Connection's State Archives have made them available! The following is letter with all the information regarding the records. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
"New Death Records Now Available Online in the Ohio History Connection’s State Archives"<br />
<br />
(COLUMBUS, OHIO) — The Ohio History Connection’s State Archives’ online catalog of death records has expanded. On October 1, the Ohio Department of Health transferred nearly two million death certificates from the years 1954 to 1963 to the Ohio History Connection.<br />
<br />
<br />
Previously, these records were only available in paper form and could only be obtained through a request with the Ohio Department of Health’s Office of Vital Statistics.<br />
<br />
Visitors can view the expanded online collection by visiting the Ohio History Center’s Archives/Library. Death certificates from December 20, 1908 to December 31, 1953 are also available in the online catalog.<br />
<br />
<br />
The new accessibility and availability of these documents could make it easier for family researchers to develop and discover new information regarding their family’s history. A death certificate can include information like the date and place of birth of the deceased, parents’ names, last known address and last known occupation. Each piece of information can be integral in the completion of a family’s story.<br />
<br />
“These records provide an important tool to family researchers working to uncover their family’s history,” says Liz Plummer, manager of research services at the Ohio History Connection. “Making them available online makes it that much easier to learn key facts about specific family members.”<br />
<br />
Death certificates can be viewed online for free at the Ohio History Center’s Archives/Library at 800 E. 17th Ave. in Columbus. Those unable to visit the Archives/Library can purchase a copy online from the Ohio History Store by visiting <a href="http://www.ohiohistorystore.com/">http://www.ohiohistorystore.com/.</a><br />
<br />
As the State Archives of Ohio, the Ohio History Connection’s Archives/Library collects, preserves and makes available to the public written and graphic information concerning Ohio's history. It is the designated repository for state government records of enduring historical value. For more than 50 years, the Ohio History Connection has been working with state and local governments to preserve the history of Ohio and its citizens. The State Archives at the Ohio History Center contain over 70,000 cubic feet of records, thousands of printed materials and several online collections that help people connect with Ohio’s past.<br />
<br />
Ohio Historical Society is now Ohio History Connection<br />
On May 24, 2014, the Ohio Historical Society changed its name to the <a href="http://www.ohiohistory.org/about-us/newsroom/press-releases/history-connection-announcement">Ohio History Connection</a>. Established in 1885, this nonprofit organization provides a wide array of statewide services and programs related to collecting, preserving and interpreting Ohio’s history, archaeology and natural history through its more than 50 sites and museums across Ohio, including its flagship museum, the Ohio History Center in Columbus. The Ohio History Center is located at I-71 and 17th Ave. in Columbus. For more information about programs and events, call 800.686.6124 or go online at <a href="http://www.ohiohistory.org/">www.ohiohistory.org</a>.<br />
<br />
Please contact the Ohio History Connection Research Services staff at reference@ohiohistory.org with any questions."<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Until Next Week<br />
<br />
Happy Ancestor Hunting!<br />

I thought it would be appropriate to feature a book about Tombstone inscriptions. The book is titled "Tombstone of Your Ancestors" by Louis S. Schafer.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
Louis S. Schaefer's book was originally published in 1991 and re-published by Heritage Books in 2007. His book is intended to help those in the "...hobby of locating, deciphering, and collecting gravestone inscriptions and carvings." Making it a great resource for the family historian as well as an interesting read. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="border-image: none;">
The Genealogy Department has two copies of this book, one that circulates and one that does not. The following link will take you to the online catalog to check out the book. <a href="http://catalog.starklibrary.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1813502?lang=eng">http://catalog.starklibrary.org/iii/encore/record/C__Rb1813502?lang=eng</a> </div>

Until Next week.<br />
Happy Ancestor Hunting!<br />

This week we are going to take a look at Pinterest. I know what your thinking..."Did I just read that right...Pinterest...for Genealogy?" Yeap, that's correct. You can use Pinterest for just about anything you are interested in. Think of it as a big bulletin board (in this case a virtual one) where you "pin" your favorite pictures of family, postcards from places you have or want to visit and things you want to remember to look at later.<br />
So how does this work for the Genealogist? Simple, if you already have a Pinterest Account, begin creating boards and title them things such as "My Ancestors", "Places My Ancestors Lived", "Research Tips"and then begin searching for pins in the search box about the topics you created boards for or upload your own pins. <br />
<br />
<br />
For more information and tips on using Pinterest for Genealogy check out the following articles listed below. Clicking on the link will take you to the library catalog where the magazines are available. <br />

As Genealogists we are always on the hunt through court records, cemeteries, family bibles, county histories and various other resources in hopes of finding that next branch of our family tree. Often times when while we are doing this, we come across a word or phrase that sound odd to the modern ear. So, then our hunt turns to finding out more about what that odd word or phrase meant and in this week's Tree Talk Tuesday blog post we are focusing on just that.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTPrZC2XYsIwxEkPIlemfNSPQ9OEaCYFmOM33beu86703_UfO7i6Ko1llssDy0cOz5A7Y-PAuieNAuj8bbhb9sjpvMUgI2qcBAT3zqNFRRoNX0461lWFVvevpQqHaptSPlvrGkacDO8twu/s1600/index.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTPrZC2XYsIwxEkPIlemfNSPQ9OEaCYFmOM33beu86703_UfO7i6Ko1llssDy0cOz5A7Y-PAuieNAuj8bbhb9sjpvMUgI2qcBAT3zqNFRRoNX0461lWFVvevpQqHaptSPlvrGkacDO8twu/s1600/index.jpg" height="320" width="207" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
Recently the Genealogy Department has added two books by Paul Drake J.D, title "What Did They Mean By That" and "More What Did They Mean By That". Mr. Drake created these books to help Genealogists in their search for understanding phrases, abbreviations and definitions of words that come up in Historical records and texts. <br />
<br />
The following is a sample of an abbreviation from the book;<br />
<br />
"7br: or 7ber= September" (pg xiv)<br />
"fower"= four (4) (pg xii)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpVWJlA96yGKtTPxdXI5PR3MVTSXBt-Xl4T5DQVTEByuuk4rFng-HObXhoHKnCQK9cYxt7FjYOLNTZXlNyz7xgt9n-8BgZMZMrWqMTT8eXQQGh_LBrfvlE2OdLQJjhrv4HnPP1dOVUa55H/s1600/index.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpVWJlA96yGKtTPxdXI5PR3MVTSXBt-Xl4T5DQVTEByuuk4rFng-HObXhoHKnCQK9cYxt7FjYOLNTZXlNyz7xgt9n-8BgZMZMrWqMTT8eXQQGh_LBrfvlE2OdLQJjhrv4HnPP1dOVUa55H/s1600/index.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a> <br />
Here is another example showing the definition of a word from the book;<br />
<br />
"dorseteen, dorsetine: a cloth or fabric, probably now unknown, e.g. "in 1798 Kuhn & Risberg of Philadelphia advertised 'assorted silk, camblets (q.v.) hairbines and dorsteens for sale""(pg. 94)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Both of these books are organized alphabetically making searching for a term or phrase simple. Currently the department has two copies of each of these. One set circulates (you can check them out) and the other set is "library use only." So next time you come across a odd word, abbreviation or phrase you may want to check out these resources. <br />
<br />
<br />
Happy Ancestor Hunting! <br />

This week we are looking at an exciting feature at Familysearch.org. Did you know that Familysearch has a Learning Center on their website where you can view Genealogy Courses that will help with tracing the family tree? They do and its FREE! <br />
<br />

To get started go to <a href="http://www.familysearch.org/learningcenter">www.familysearch.org/learningcenter</a>. Once the page has loaded there are couple of options for searching for courses. On the right side of the screen you will see a series of featured classes. You can choose any that looks interesting to you. <br />
<br />
<br />
Another option is in the purple box on the left side of the screen titled " What course are you looking for?" Below the titled you can choose a specific county, skill level, format, subject or subject language. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The third option for choosing a course is to simply type in what you are looking for. In the box provided at the top of the screen, type in what you are looking for (I choose Scotland) and then click search. The next screen you will see looks like the image below. The search narrowed down two 4 results for Scotland ( only two will show in the screen shot below.) From this screen I choose ScotlandsPeople.org. <br />

After clicking on the blue link next to the image for the course. The course page will open (shown below). On the course page you will find the video of the course as well as course supplements (handouts, feedback ect.). The handouts are a PDF that you can print out and take notes on while watching the video. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope you this to be helpful in your research. Until next week Happy Hunting! <br />

<span class="userContent" data-ft="{"tn":"K"}"><span class="text_exposed_show">Tip of the week- Using an * after the first three letters of name will search for multiple spellings and miss spellings of a name. For example...Joh* will bring up Johnston, Johnson, Johnstone, Johnmyer, Johan...This type of search keep the first letters exactly the same, but allows for any combitation of letters after it. </span></span><br />

"Cemeteries have a special language of their own, spoken through the symbols carved on tombstones. Using photos from cemeteries across the country, this program explains the orginials of the "rural cemetery movement" in the mid-19th Century" <br />

Kim was recently awarded the Oakley Certificate of merit from the Association of Gravestone Studies for her interpretive projects at West Lawn Cemetery. <br />

It also served has the inspiration behind Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address. The battle began on July 1, 1863 when General Robert E. Lee made his second attempt to invade the north. It lasted for 3 days and is often referred to as the "High Water Mark of the Rebellion". By the 3rd day the General George Mead's Union Army had stopped the invasion, but not without a price. There were 51,000 casualties and much devastation to the people and property surronding the town of Gettysburg. <br />

The big buzz in Genealogy this week is the return of Who Do You Think You Are? on TLC. For three consecutive seasons both Genealogist and Non-Genealogist tuned in on Tuesday evenings to watch American Celebraties trace their family trees. A year late TLC annouced that it would be picking it up. The new season will feature Christina Applegate, Kelly Clarkson, Cindy Crawford, Zooey Deschanel, Chelsea Handler, Chris O’Donnell, Jim Parsons and Trisha Yearwood researching their family trees. Mark your calendars for July 23rd for the Season Premier!<br />

Today we are showcasing this great photo that we recently aquired. While we don't know who the individuals are in the picture, we do know that it was probably a "float" that was used for the July 4th Parade in 1913 in Canton, Ohio. </div>

The Canton Lumber Company was organized in 1901, with the office and yard being located at 601-613 E. North St. (which is now 6st. NE). In 1929 the company went into receivership. </div>

So glad you stopped by. This week we put up a display in the department on Marriage, since the month of June is popular for weddings. So to coincide with that the topic for this weeks post is....Marriage Records!<br />

<br />
Marriage Records can be a great source for finding more information about your family. Where do you find these records? There are two type of records that one may find when reaserching marraiges. A Civil Record or a Church record. The civil record of marriage will be recorded with a govermental office such as the probate court, clerk of courts etc. The church record will be housed with the church or minister that handled the marriage. <br />
<br />
<br />
For Stark County the marriage records begin when the Probate Court was form in 1809. Pre 1900 records only list the couple who were married and who married them. After 1900 you will find a bit more information on the record. This may include who took out the license and sometimes a relative could be mentioned if the person is a minor. After 1910 the marriage records look more like they do currently. They give the name of the bride and groom, where they were born, how old their are, their residence at the time of the license being taken out, their parents names, if they have been divorce and if so minor children are listed. <br />
<br />
<br />
In todays world the question that often arrises, can I find these records online? Yes and No. One place you can check for marriage is Familysearch.org They have filmed some Ohio County Marriage Record books and indexed them on their website. The website is free to use and you can print the record you find. <br />
