Family Search: Launches Huge Project
November 16, 2012 by ramona
Filed under Articles, Latest News
After the huge effort earlier this year to transcribe the 1940 census Family Search is once again making big plans to help genealogists and family history fanatics world wide.
The new project will see the not for profit genealogy giant sending 200 teams around the world to photograph 320 million images of birth, death, wills, immigration and church records from 45 countries.
After being photographed, the images – at a rate of roughly 300 per day – will be sent to Salt Lake City and published to the website within a month.
Of course, this is all pending permission to photograph the images. A task more easily accomplished in some countries than others.
New Records to help build Your Family Tree
Already the holders of the largest database of genealogical records globally, Family Search adds new records and images on a monthly basis.
So far this month they have already added numerous records and images to their collections from:
The US Brazil Colombia Czech Republic England Estonia Hungary Indonesia Ireland |
Italy Netherlands New Zealand Canada Peru Portugal Slovakia Spain Sweden |
Best of all, Family Search provides free access to all records and images.

A Family History of Witchcraft

“In the Nineteenth day of March last I went to Salem Village, and lodged at Nathaniel Ingersol’s near to the Minister Mr. P.’s House, and presently after I came into my Lodging, Capt. Walcut’s Daughter Mary came to Lieut. Ingersol’s and spake to me; but suddenly after, as she stood by the Door, was bitten, so that she cried out of her Wrist, and looking on it with a Candle, we saw apparently the marks of Teeth, both upper and lower set, on each side of her Wrist.”
Such is one account of a person afflicted by witchcraft in Salem Village in 1692.
Mary, daughter to Militia Commander Jonathan Walcott was one of the first of the accusers in the Salem Witch trials and one of the accusers of Bridget Bishop, the first woman to be executed during the trials.
All Hallows Eve is quickly approaching and those with ancestors involved in witch trials may be interested in learning about some fantastic research resources.
Number one on the list is, The Wonders of the Invisible World Being an Account of the Tryals of Several Witches Lately Executed in New-England, to which is added A Farther Account of the Tryals of the New-England Witches written by Cotton Mather and Increase Mather. You can read about Mary, Bridget and many others in this account of the trials given by peoples involved. A digital copy of this book can be found free at Project Gutenberg.
Another interesting resource is The Associated Daughters of Early American Witches. This group focuses on sustaining the memory of those accused of witchcraft in Colonial America. This membership only society also actively searches out living descendents of the accused.
If your interests lie overseas, you will want to check out The Witch Hunts (1400-1800). Amidst the great information on the website, is an online mock-up of a witch-hunt set in Germany in 1628. In this simulation, you play a fictional character however, the events are historically accurate (warning, this may be disturbing to some). The outcome of your trial will depend on choices you make during the simulation.
One last resource is the Survey of Scottish Witchcraft 1563 – 1736. On this site, you will find a database containing the names of almost 4,000 people accused of witchcraft in Scotland.

Genealogy Just Got Easier
September 19, 2012 by ramona
Filed under Articles, Genealogy Research Resources, Latest News, Sharing Genealogy Information
If you have been keeping your eye on MyHeritage.com, you already know that genealogy just got a little easier.
Why?
Because MyHeritage has an amazing new software that can help you find ancestors while you sleep.
The new software called Record Matching is constantly working to compare every individual entered in a family tree on their site to over 4 billion historical records. For users of My Heritage, Record Match will notify you when it has found matching documents such as:
- Birth, Marriage or Death documents
- Census records
- A tombstone photo
- A newspaper article
- Books
All of this information is found automatically using semantic analysis…and…it is in addition to the automatic matching that checks for your ancestors in other user’s family trees.
Family Tree Tools
Possibly the most phenomenal thing about this search software is…not only does it match Robert & Bob it can actually translate languages to find matches. Each match found comes with a confidence score using a star system so you can check out the most likely matches first, which is huge time saver.
Another little tool that family history hunters are going to love is the option to confirm or reject a match. However, one word of caution here, if you do find a match you will have to manually transfer the data y to your family tree and create your source citation to go with it.
The Price of an Ancestor
By now, you are probably wandering how much this is going to cost. Well here is a little good news – bad news. First, the good news; the Record Match feature is free to users with one or more family trees on my heritage. What this means is that you will be automatically notified of matches and given a short transcript or extract of the matching record. The bad news…viewing the full record or document requires a subscription. However, you do have a pay as you go option if you do not want to purchase a full subscription.
Visit MyHeritage Record Matches to find out more about this cool genealogy tool…but before you go, make sure you are ready with some genealogybeginner.com Family Tree Charts and Research tracking forms: available with your 30-day free trial.
Medieval Scottish Roots
September 4, 2012 by ramona
Filed under Articles, Genealogy Research Resources, Latest News, Sharing Genealogy Information
If you are ready to start digging for ancestors that go way-way back …all the way, back to medieval times on the British Isles.
Here is a website that you should put at the top of your family history list.
People of Medieval Scotland is an amazing database containing 8600 records. This database consists of all known people of Scotland from 1093 to 1314 and it is the culmination of two projects funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
The Projects
The Paradox of Medieval Scotland is a study of the social relationships before the wars of independence. This will be riveting for those who have traced their British ancestry back to Anglo-Norman origins. The information drawn from over 6000 charters provides biographical data for all known Scottish peoples between 1093 and 1286.
The Breaking of Britain is concerned with the period extending from Alexander II’s attempted revival to the abolition of cross border, land holding by Robert the Bruce.
The Database
The database as a whole is a collection of information on every known individual mentioned in documents relation to Scotland between the death of Malcolm III in 1093 to Robert the First’s parliament in Cambuskenneth in 1314. What makes this database so special is that it is based on the relationships between the people named in the documents.
The next feature that separates this database from so many others is the database tutorial, which makes navigating it easy…even for a genealogy beginner. Searching the database can be done using a broad base of criteria such as Institutions, factoids, people, sources, relationships, transactions and terms of tenure.
For example, a search for the surname Sinclair under the “Factoid” search returns a list of Sinclair’s by name ranging from 1093-1314. Clicking on one these will bring up a pop up box that gives you a short biography and an option to view the full record. Choosing to view the full record will move you to page with a total number of associated factoids such as:
Transaction factoids: Lists transactions such as gifts of land, general correspondence, oaths of fealty and much more
Relationship Factoids: Names relationships connected to the individual, for instance both familial and guardianships
Title Factoids: Lists all titles and offices held by the individual
Witness Factoids: Documents on which the individual is listed as a witness
Family Tree
After browsing through the available documents users also have the option of looking at the listed family tree for the individual. Under my Sinclair search, I found the family tree for the line on a tab at the top of the page. Clicking on this menu item the family tree listed three trees in which this individual could be found: Scottish Royal Family, Earl David descendants, English royal family and Manx royal family.
Although the database covers all territory, which was to become part of Scotland prior to the death of Alexander III, those looking for specific genealogy information on individuals from Orkney or Shetland will be disappointed if they try a geographic search, However if you know who your ancestors are from those areas there certainly is a great deal of information included.
The last two points that should convince you to put this site in your favorites is that the database is free and there is no need to register to use it.
Before you head off to visit this amazing website, be sure to download your free Family Tree Charts, available with your 30-day free trial membership to genealogybeginnner.com.

The Lost Irish: FREE Searchable Database
June 30, 2012 by ramona
Filed under Articles, Genealogy Research Resources, Latest News, Sharing Genealogy Information
During the nineteenth and early twentieth century, Irish immigrants flocked to North America in droves. Leaving their homeland, due to poverty, political upheaval and famine; or simply to begin anew, they came in hopes of finding a better life.
Leaving family and friends behind, their only mode of communication with loved ones was by letter. However, the international postal system was just developing and many immigrants lost touch with the folk back home. As a result, many new immigrants were lost to their relatives who remained in Ireland.
Missing Friends
October 1831 marked the birth of a new feature in the Boston Pilot newspaper when an advertisement seeking a Patrick McDermott and his family was published. This advertisement began what later became known as the “Missing Friends” column. The column was an instant success, increasing the newspapers circulation both at home and on an international scale.
A Family Tree Resource
Lasting an amazing ninety years the column ran from 1831 to 1921 and helped countless people find those they had lost. For family history buffs this translates into an amazing FREE resource for finding Irish ancestors. This genealogical treasure contains 40,268 records with text for every advertisement that was placed in the paper.
While the information included varies, it is possible to find some informative facts such as:
- county and parish of birth
- date they left Ireland
- expected port of arrival
- occupation
Using the Database
Although the database has a simple search, the advanced search function allows a great deal of flexibility.
MISSING PERSON’S INFORMATION | Using this search box, I entered the name Patrick O’Brian that returned 452 results. The information returned included:Home County: CorkTownland: Ballydunigan Nr. Bear HavenDeparture date: 1859Port of Departure: England, Liverpool Port of Arrival: MA, Boston |
Additionally there was a description of the ad placed for him:Any Info Alive Or Dead. Other: Last May (05/65) He Resided W/His Si = Margaret O Brien For About A Mo.; He + His Br. = Denis Started To Mi, Lake Superior + Lived W/Fa + Mo For 6 Yrs; He Got M. About 2 Yrs Ago; Came To Visit His Mo. A Yr Ago Last 4-Jul To Mn Coppermines, Antaugon Co. | |
SEEKING PERSON’S INFORMATION | The above search also returned the data for the person seeking Mr. O’Brien.Name: Catherine O BrienRelation to missing: MotherGender: FemaleResidence: OH, Youngstown, Mahoning CountyDate of advertisement:08-25-1866 |
POINT OF ORIGIN INFORMATION | The advanced search also lets you search for a person by point of origin.For this search, I used Dublin as my point of origin, which only returned five results. |
WORK HISTORY | If you know your ancestors trade, searching by occupation can give you a wide field of reference.I tried looking for:
|
LOCATION AFTER ARRIVAL | As many American immigrants first came to North America through Canadian ports, I tried a search for Nova Scotia (A common port of entry for many U.S. immigrants). This search returned 26 results. Under the results was listed Patrick O Donnell, a Shoemaker who after arriving in Nova Scotia travelled to Mo, St. Louis (1859) and ended up in LA, New Orleans |
The description for Mr. O Donnell reads.M. in Nova Scotia, Halifax (1857); His Wi. = Bridget O Donnell (Borve) in Canada, Quebec Is Anxious To Hear Some Tidings Of Him. Other: Last Heard He Worked at His Trade in LA, New Orleans; At The Time He Left Ns, Halifax He Had A Npw. = John A. Hearns Studying at The Seminary Of Carondolet Nr. Mo, St. Louis | |
TRAVEL INFORMATION | Searching by travel information allows you to simply select a year or the intended destination; very handy for researchers who are working with limited information. |
Key Word Search | The last search field allows you to do a search of the entire database. You can search by name or by keyword. This is very handy should you have an ancestor with an alias or nickname.For example, a search under “Bessy” (short for Elizabeth) returned 55 results including the information for Elizabeth Daily AKA Bessy Daily. |
