Is your father - or you, for that matter - aware that some earlier
editions of Burke's Peerage were notorious for their inaccuracies and
bogus pedigrees?
These have been well exposed and written about by
eminent genealogists.

The problem was that some nouveau riche industrialists in the
19th century fancied a family tree to go with their newly elevated
social status, rather than admit they had come from humble
backgrounds. Thus, they hired unscrupulous "genealogists" to provide
them with a handsome pedigree back to the Conqueror etc. The
so-called researchers were only too happy to take their money in
return.


Many of these entirely fictitious pedigrees were removed in the early
20th century. I wonder which editions your father looked at?

Who's the Daddy?


The following are all replies that Dallas women have written on Child
Support Agency forms in the section for listing father's
details. These are genuine excerpts from the forms. Be sure to check
out number 11 b& it takes the prize.



1. Regarding the identity of the father of my twins, child A was
fathered by Jim Munson. I am unsure as to the identity of the father
of child B, but I believe that he was conceived on the same night.



2. I am unsure as to the identity of the father of my child as I was
being sick out of a window when taken unexpectedly from behind. I can
provide you with a list of names of men that I think were at the party
if this helps.



3. I do not know the name of the father of my little girl. She was
conceived at a party at 3600 Grand Avenue where I had unprotected sex
with a man I met that night. I do remember that the sex was so good
that I fainted. If you do manage to track down the father, can you send
me his phone number? Thanks.



4. I don't know the identity of the father of my daughter. He drives
a BMW that now has a hole made by my stiletto in one of the door
panels.. Perhaps you can contact BMW service stations in this area and
see if he's had it replaced.



5. I have never had sex with a man. I am awaiting a letter from the
Pope confirming that my son's conception was immaculate and that he is
Christ risen again.



6. I cannot tell you the name of child A's dad as he informs me that
to do so would blow his cover and that would have cataclysmic
implications for the economy. I am torn between doing right by you and
right by the country. Please advise.



7. I do not know who the father of my child was as all men look the
same to me



8. Peter Smith is the father of child A. If you do catch up with him,
can you ask him what he did with my AC/DC CDs?



9. From the dates it seems that my daughter was conceived at Disney
World; maybe it really is the Magic Kingdom.



10. So much about that night is a blur. The only thing that I
remember for sure is Delia Smith did a program about eggs earlier in
the evening. If I'd have stayed in and watched more TV rather than
going to the party at 146 Miller Drive, mine might have remained
unfertilized.



11. I am unsure as to the identity of the father of my baby; after
all, when you eat a can of beans you can't be sure which one made you
fart.

Edith Mary Pargeter (September 28, 1913 - October 14, 1995) was a prolific British author of works in many categories, especially history and historical fiction, and was also honored for her translations of Czech classics; she is probably best known for her murder mysteries, both historical and modern.

Born in the village of Horsehay (Shropshire, England), she had Welsh ancestry, and many of her short stories and books (both fictional and non-fictional) were set in Wales and its borderlands.



writing under the name "Ellis Peters."

Cadfael is a Benedictine

The longest lasting of the western Catholic monastic orders, the Benedictine Order traces its origins to the adoption of the monastic life by St. Benedict of Nursia (Norcia) in 529.

Benedict, founder of the monastery of Monte Cassino between Naples and Rome, wrote a "Rule" or plan of life for his monastery that remains an influence on monasticism today, the Rule of St Benedict. His sister, Saint Scholastica, founded the women's order at the monastery.

A priory only differed from an abbey in that the superior bore the name of prior instead of abbot. Priories were originally offshoots from the larger abbeys, to the abbots of which they continued subordinate; however, the actual distinction between abbeys and priories was lost by the Renaissance.

, during the civil war

The Anarchy in English history commonly names the period of civil war and unsettled government that occurred during the reign (1135 - 1154) of King Stephen of England. Stephen was a favourite nephew of King Henry I of England (reigned 1100 - 1135), whose only legitimate son died in 1120 in the "White Ship" disaster. Henry then named his daughter, Matilda, known as Empress Maud, as heir to his throne. He forced his barons, including Stephen, to swear allegiance to her several times, but it went against the grain -- no woman had ever ruled over all England in her own right. To make matters worse, Mathilda had married Geoffrey of Anjou, who did not enjoy a good reputation in England.

between the forces of King Stephen
Stephen (1096 - October 25, 1154), the last Norman King of England, reigned from 1135 to 1154, when he was succeeded by his cousin (or, as the gossip of the time had it, his natural son) Henry II, the first of the Angevin or Plantagenet Kings.

Stephen was born at Blois in France, the son of Stephen, Count of Blois, and Adela, daughter of King William I of England. He became Count of Mortain in about 1115, and married Matilda, daughter of the Count of Boulogne, in about 1125.


and Empress Maud Empress Maud (February 7, 1102 - September 10, 1169) is the title by which Matilda, daughter and dispossessed heir of King Henry I of England and his wife Maud of Scotland (herself daughter of Malcolm III Canmore and St. Margaret of Scotland), is known, in order to differentiate her from the many other Matildas of the period. Matilda is the Latin form of the name "Maud" (or "Maude").

Maud was christened Adelaide, but took her mother's name of Matilda when she married for the first time, on January 7, 1114. Her first husband was Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor, but the marriage was childless and Henry died in 1125. In 1128, she was married again, at Le Mans in Anjou, to Geoffrey of Anjou, who was eleven years her junior. He was nicknamed "Plantagenet" from the broom flower

RootsWeb/MyFamily.com Merger Poll--Family Tree Magazine: "The Web's oldest and largest genealogy community, RootsWeb at http://www.rootsweb.com, was bought out this summer by MyFamily.com at http://www.myfamily.com, a commercial network of family history sites.

Hosting thousands of independent Web sites, mailing lists and message boards (not to mention unlimited storage capacity) got to be too much for RootsWeb to handle, its co-founder Karen Isaacson says.

MyFamily.co the company that also owns Ancestry.com and FamilyHistory.com stepped in with an undisclosed sum to 'provide the financial stability we need to ensure RootsWeb will be around for years to come,' Isaacson adds. While assuring users that RootsWeb access and sites will continue to be free, MyFamily.com officials also say owning the hugely popular RootsWeb will provide profitable exposure to its many subscription-only databases and records.

Officials from both companies say the merger will provide online genealogists with more tools, content and resources. RootsWeb also will continue supporting major projects such as the USGenWeb Project and the Immigrant Ships Transcribers Guild."

The reason I supported RootsWeb was because it did not sell my research. It was free to all. Most want your research for "free" so they can "sell" it. It does ruin the grassroots spirit. More people are likly to find your research when it is free, thereby your information can be received by more.

I certainly wouldn't work at Wal-Mart for free. Why should anybody work for Ancestry.com and its rich venture capitalists (Eastman Kodak Company, America Online, Compaq Computer Corporation, Intel, and others) for free? Does anybody really believe that these venture capitalists expect no return on investment in Ancestry.com?

And why are RootsWeb list owners being treated like children and threatened if they dare to make comments about the acquisition? First the Ancestry/RootsWeb behavior was sneaky. Now it is ominously authoritarian.

DIVORCE AND THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS (MORMONS): "It found that about 26% of both Mormons and non-Mormons had experienced at least one divorce at some time during their life.

This simple statistic obscures an interesting factor: Mormons who marry fellow believers have an extremely low divorce rate: 'A 1993 study published in Demography [magazine] showed that Mormons marrying within their church are least likely of all Americans to become divorced. Only 13 percent of LDS couples have divorced after five years of marriage, compared with 20 percent for religiously homogamist unions among Catholics and Protestants and 27 percent among Jews. However, when a Mormon marries outside his or her denomination, the divorce rate soars to 40 percent -- second only to mixed-faith marriages involving a Jewish spouse (42 percent).' 8 One might speculate that the religious and cultural differences between Mormons and non-Mormons (and between Jews and non-Jews) is often so great that the chances of a successful, harmonious marriage is much reduced."
LDS Temple Marriage: "Unlike the majority of Christian religions, which teach that marriage is only an earthly institution, Mormonism maintains that marriage bonds were intended to survive the grave. The survival of the marriage relationship in the afterlife is a necessary condition for exaltation, considered 'the greatest of all the gifts of God.' Exaltation is a state in which faithful, resurrected LDS become joint-heirs with Jesus Christ, thereby receiving the fullness of the glory of God the Father and becoming Gods themselves, who will one day create and populate worlds of their own. This somewhat unorthodox view of marriage was revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith and is recorded in the current edition of the Doctrine and Covenants, section 135."

As with other LDS rituals, this ceremony may be performed for either the living or the dead. When performed by proxy, it is used to "seal" deceased married members of the LDS Church to each other for time and eternity, while for the living it serves as the current marriage ceremony.

This ceremony is performed in a "Sealing Room." The room has an altar in its center with kneeling cushions on each side. At the head of the altar are two seats for the "Witnesses." Their signatures will appear on the temple’s marriage certificate. Others attending the ceremony stand about the room on either side of the altar. The Officiator who performs the sealing stands at the head of the alt


LDS Temple Endowment Homepage

After reading the Mormon scriptures, I put Mormonism to the test. I prayed several times to learn whether the Church was "true," and received no answer at all. The only "answer" that made any sense to me was that Mormonism--however appealing--was not what it represented itself to be.

this is the naive use of prayer as a tool not as a spiritual exercise
I did that myself as a child

the temple endowment answers the "terrible questions," i.e.,
Where did I come from?
Why am I here?
And Where will I go when this life is over?

I think the good LDS do is far outwieghs the mistakes made by individual members
and their contribution to world culture should not be underestimated

Along Those Lines: "Five Things to Learn about Your Library"
by George G. Morgan
=====================================================================

Your library is a different place than it was when you were growing
up. The "Information Age" was accelerated by the introduction of the
Internet to the public and its explosive growth more than a decade
ago. Libraries rose to the challenge and now are technology sites,
providing access to the Internet for millions of people. Libraries
also offer access to databases, electronic media, and "traditional"
resources such as printed books, periodicals, serials, and
microfilmed materials.

As libraries have grown and have expanded their scope of access, not
all of us have grown with them. If you think you know the difference
between a card in the old card catalog drawer and its electronic
replacement in the online catalog, that's terrific. But if you're not
a regular library customer--what used to be referred to as a patron--
you may not know how to use the library very well at all.

In "Along Those Lines..." this week, let's explore five things that
you should learn about your library in order to take advantage of all
it has to offer.

THE ONLINE CATALOG
The online library catalog, in most areas of the U.S. and in many
other places around the world, has replaced the old wooden cabinet of
drawers containing typed cards. It is an essential access point into
the collections of any library or archive, and it operates much like
an Internet search engine. An electronic catalog provides much more
flexibility in quickly locating materials in the library's
collection. First of all, you can search the catalog in multiple
ways.

AUTHOR. Enter the author's name and search for all materials produced
by this author. Some catalogs allow you to enter a partial name or to
use "wild card" characters to replace letters you're not sure of.

TITLE. Enter the title of the work that you want to locate.

KEYWORD. This option is great if you're not sure of the exact title
or if you want to find all the materials with one or more words
included in the title. Enter one or more words that might appear in
the title, such as:
carolina marriage
Entering these two words produces a search results list that includes
all books for North and South Carolina with the word marriage in the
title, such as "Marriage Records," "Marriage Bonds," and "Marriage
and Death Records."

SUBJECT. Every item in the electronic catalog is assigned to one or
more subject areas. Samples might include "genealogy," "American
history," "religion," "Germany," "botany," and many others. If you
want to see every item in a library's collection about genealogy, try
this one!

Some electronic catalogs provide other options that might include
such choices as a Quick Search (search using a keyword that might
appear in either the title, the subject references, or both), a Call
Number search (list all the items in the 929 area of the collection--
more on these numbers will follow in the section on organization),
the ISBN/ISSN number, the barcode, or some other numeric
classification), or an Audio/Visual search (search only videotapes,
audiotapes, music CDs, DVDs, or eBooks).

Online catalogs make it possible to access the catalog from anywhere.
Certainly they are accessible from the many computers inside one
library or all the libraries in a system, but the catalogs are also
often embedded in a library's website. This allows you to access the
catalog at any hour of the day from any computer with access to the
Internet.

There are many software companies that offer their own electronic
catalogs, so there are going to be differences in appearance, in the
number of search options, and in the way the search results are
displayed. Some even allow you to save your searches and to print or
e-mail them. Check with your librarian if you have questions or if
you need help to fine-tune your use of this tool.

THE ORGANIZATION OF THE COLLECTION
The online catalog allows you to determine what materials are in a
facility's collection and where they are located. Most public
libraries use the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC); most academic
libraries use the Library of Congress (LC) classification system.
Let's focus, though, on the public library.

A public library typically uses DDC in order to provide structure for
filing the materials. This system uses high-level numbers 000, 100,
200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 to separate large groups
of nonfiction materials. Most genealogists concentrate their research
in the 900s, although we also use dictionaries from the 400s,
literature from the 800s, and other resources around the library.
Within each of the "hundreds" are subcategories or subclasses that
group materials at a more granular level. For instance, within the
900s is the familiar (to genealogists) 929 area, which contains
genealogy, names, and insignia. A good reference for the complete DDC
can be accessed at http://www.tnrdlib.bc.ca/dewey.html .

Not all genealogy collections are classified and not all materials
are filed alike, however. Some libraries adhere strictly to the DDC
system. That means that there will be items of interest filed in the
929s, of course, but there also will be materials of interest to your
research filed separately. For example, you will find state materials
also filed in one of the following areas:

- 973 General history of North America United States
- 974 General history of North America Northeastern United States
- 975 General history of North America Southeastern United States
- 976 General history of North America South central United States
- 977 General history of North America North central United States
- 978 General history of North America Western United States

Therefore, you may have to search in both the 929s and the 970s in
order to locate reference books for Kentucky. Periodicals may be
filed separately as well.

Your library's genealogy collection may, however, be organized
differently--in what is referred to as a "modified Dewey" system. In
order to bring materials from different geographical areas together,
some libraries have cataloged (and labeled) materials for each area
together. That means that you may actually find all of the materials
for the British Isles shelved or grouped together. Some libraries
also interfile the periodicals with the books.

Each library, despite the use of the DDC, may therefore have
cataloged and filed its collection a little differently. It behooves
you to invest the time talking to the reference librarian to
understand right away how the specific library's collection is
organized. Oh, and by the way, not everything is cataloged. For
instance, you may find that the maps, photographs, and the disparate
contents of the vertical files (loose papers in folders in the file
cabinets) may not even be included in the catalog. Therefore, be sure
to ask for guidance on the contents and location of these materials
within the collection.

As you can see, you might easily miss some important research items
if you don't take the time to learn how the collection is organized.
You know about that old word--ASSUME--don't you?

PATHFINDERS (A.K.A. HANDOUTS)
Whenever you visit a library, look for the free handouts that
librarians refer to as "pathfinders." These handy little reference
flyers can tell you a great deal about how the collection is
organized, where materials are located (maps of the library or a
collection), and "how to" instructions for conducting specific
research. The Tampa library, for example, has more than twenty
pathfinders specifically relating to the genealogical collection that
include: table of U.S. federal census microfilm holdings, listing of
the ships' passenger list microfilm, locating and working with
military records, and how to get started with your African American
research. They also offer other pathfinders in the collection
relating to the DDC, Interlibrary Loan, and other topics. The library
in Vero Beach, Florida, offers fifty-five pathfinders, and the one in
Ft. Myers maintains a binder of more than 200 pathfinders that you
can photocopy. Libraries may also place some or all of their
pathfinders online at their websites, often in PDF file format. I
collect these pathfinders and maintain a reference binder by subject.

SUBSCRIPTION DATABASES
An often overlooked and very underused library resource is the
collection of subscription databases. Libraries may also refer to
their collection of databases as the "Information Gateway." As a
genealogist, I use all sorts of databases, including Ancestry's Library
Service (check with your local library for availability) and other
"genealogy specific" databases. However, I also use a number of
general databases available from my Tampa-Hillsborough Public
Library System on a regular basis: Gale's Ready Reference Shelf (for
government agencies), InfoPlease Almanac, Biographical Dictionary,
bigchalk Library, Info Trac, Digital Sanborn Maps, Biography Resource
Center, and others. Don't limit yourself to just the genealogy
databases when there is so very much more information available.
Take the time to learn what databases are available and how to
access them!

INTERLIBRARY LOAN
I've written a number of columns over the years concerning
Interlibrary Loan (ILL), a service that gives library customers
access to the holdings of other libraries. (See "Secrets of
Interlibrary Loan" at:
http://www.ancestry.com/rd/prodredir.asp?sourceid=831&key=A600706 )

ILL allows you to initiate a request through your own library to
borrow books. However, since most genealogical materials are non-
circulating, an ILL request can be used to obtain copies of pages
from a book (index and/or text) or a document, and have the owning
library send them to your local library. It also is a method of
borrowing books or microfilmed materials for use at your own library,
usually under certain conditions or for a small fee.

If you don't know about ILL and want to extend your research reach
and range, all you have to do is locate the item in another library's
online catalog, and then ask your library to initiate an ILL request
for you. Ask your library about the ILL services they provide, their

MAKING IT ALL WORK FOR YOU
So you thought you knew everything there is to know about libraries!
Well, there are lots of secrets for getting the most out of your
library. Cookies make a good librarian bribe--or "thank you!"
However, as you can see, there are new and different library
resources that you may not be using at all or to their fullest
extent. Spend some time visiting and getting to know your library.
It's a great resource, always changing and growing. Don't think that
the Internet is the end-all resource, because it certainly isn't.
Librarians are "information brokers," and are there to employ their
research expertise and to assist you. Visit your library soon!

Happy Hunting!

1901 England and Wales Census Decoder

John Burns (40+) lives in Suffolk, England.
"Ran away to sea as a 16 year old to work for a U.S. oil major as a deck apprentice, came ashore after a few years to "temporarily" assist in the office looking after foreign crew.

Eventually side-stepped into looking after the computer systems for both ship and shore establishments.
Has been there ever since and now works for the same company from home supporting the vessel's navigational, communication and computer systems.

Bought his first computer in the late 1970's, built a sophisticated stock control system in 64KB of memory running CP/M and has not looked back since. Has developed many applications since including this one. Runs his own web server hosting a number of sites including the support site for this software and the Lancashire Surname Site at http://lancslist.com.

Interests range mainly around computers & electronics, genealogy and a good book!"


His decoder reassembles 1901 census pages

=================================================================

cousin marriages will cause pedigree collapse
which already occurs with the Holmes Jones Watkins in Monmouthshire above

>> Back in 1985 Alex Shoumatoff wrote an account of kinship and genealogy called
The Mountain of Names, A History of the Human Family
(A Touchstone Book published by Simon & Schuster, Inc., New York.)

He speaks about an amazing paper by Robert C. Gunderson called
Tying Your Pedigree into Royal, Noble and Medieval Families.

Gunderson invented the term ‘pedigree collapse’.
This is a phenomenon which is ubiquitous and makes every genealogist's life a little easier.
When one's pedigree collapses, one has a reducing number of ancestors to search for. Here is how it works.

so some individuals will have two or more Ahnentafel numbers

Ahnentafel indices come to us from genealogists who invented them
for encoding one’s pedigree as a binary, family tree

ahnentafel n.

from Ahnentafel "ancestor chart": a type of chart used in genealogy that uses a particular numbering system for all ancestors of the main person

[German Ahn, Ahne, "ancestor" + Tafel, "table, chart"]. This entry suggested by G. Victor Paulson.

"Ahnentafel Numbers Are not as Mysterious as they Seem", Anneliese Graebner Anderson, Missouri State Genealogical Association Journal, Winter 1995, p. 52-53.

Ahnentafel dictionary

AHNENLIST
a list of one's accordance with the AHNENTAFEL NUMBERS definition below. ancestors, with the first generation being #1, second #2-3, third #4-7, etc. May be synonymous with AHNENTAFEL.

AHNENTAFEL
[German ancestor table] a list of ancestors numbered in accordance with the system described below in AHNENTAFEL NUMBERS. So-called because it was popularized by Stephen Kekule von Stradonitz in his 1896 book, Ahentafel Atlas.

The system was first used in a book by the Spanish geneologist Jerome de Sosa in 1676.

Translated from the German, "ahnen" means ancestor and "tafel" means table or list; because of this literal translation, ahnentafel is sometime incorrectly used to describe any list of ancestors. - Richard Pence -- richardpence@pipeline.com.


AHNENTAFEL NUMBERS
the universally used method of numbering ancestors.

In it the number 1 is assigned to the subject of the list, then his or her father is No. 2, the mother is No. 3, the paternal grandfather No. 4, etc.

In this system, a person's father's number is always twice the person's number and his or her mother's number is twice-plus-one.

Because of the structured nature of the sytem, a person's ahnentafel number can be used to describe his or her relationship to the subject of the list.

This method of numbering ancestors is used worldwide and is also called the "Sosa-Stradonitz System," after the genealogist who first used it and the one who popularized it (see AHNENTAFEL above)

. This method of numbering ancestors is used both on lists of ancestors or on ancestor charts. - Richard Pence -- richardpence@pipeline.com

=========================================
>>The genealogy reports in Family Tree Maker are based on standardized reports that were created by various genealogical societies. This is the same format used by these genealogical societies, and we tried stay as close to these formats as possible. What seems like a mistake is really an inherent characteristic of the report.

There are three variations of the Genealogy Report:

* Register (Descendant Ordered) The Register format is a descendant-ordered format; it presents information about your family starting with an ancestor and moving forward in time to that individual's descendants. The Register format is the format which is accepted by the New England Historic Genealogical Society, one of the oldest genealogical societies in the country. The Register format dates back to 1870 and is used to establish "pedigree."

* NGS Quarterly (Descendant Ordered) The NGS Quarterly format is also a descendant-ordered format; it presents information about your family starting with an ancestor and moving forward in time to that individual's descendants. The NGS Quarterly format is the preferred genealogical report of the National Genealogical Society. The format dates back to 1912.

* Ahnentafel (Ancestor Ordered) The Ahnentafel format is ancestor-ordered; it starts with one individual and moves backward in time to that individual's ancestors. It's not used as frequently as the other two formats for formal presentations of pedigree because it records two family lines in the same report.<<
