This is the best information we have, from the BBC. Inside Out is a
regional programme, so we are not sure which regions will be covered, of
course we hope that it will be all ! ~ Geoff

Som en konsekvens af flytteplanerne har vi fået en særlig bevilling til at forberede flytningen. Som en del af flytteforberedelserne ompakkes arkivalierne og lægges i æsker. Ved udgangen af 2002 var der i alt blevet ompakket ca. 27 hyldekilometer. Samtidig foretager vi en edb-registrering af samlingerne; denne registrering danner grundlaget for, at vi senere kan give publikum adgang til at søge oplysninger om vore samlinger via Internettet. Det er målet, at det med udgangen af 2004 vil blive muligt at foretage simple søgninger i samtlige samlinger i Statens Arkivers enheder via den fælles data-base Daisy. En decideret emnesøgning vil dog ikke være klar til dette tidspunkt.

Google Search: Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894) wrote poem below
Brother Jonathans Lament For Sister Caroline:
She has gone,-she has left us in passion and pride
Our stormy-browed sister, so long at our side!
She has torn her own star from our firmament's glow,
And turned on her brother the face of a foe! "
She has gone,-she has left us in passion and pride
Our stormy-browed sister, so long at our side!
She has torn her own star from our firmament's glow,
And turned on her brother the face of a foe! "
July the 14th: "The memories of the blissful moments I have spent with you come creeping over me, and I feel most gratified to God and to you that I have enjoyed them so long. And hard it is for me to give them up and burn to ashes the hopes of future years, when God willing, we might still have lived and loved together and seen our sons grow up to honorable manhood around us. I have, I know, but few and small claims upon Divine Providence, but something whispers to me -- perhaps it is the wafted prayer of my little Edgar -- that I shall return to my loved ones unharmed. If I do not, my dear Sarah, never forget how much I love you, and when my last breath escapes me on the battlefield, it will whisper your name."
one of Jayne's favourite letters
Sarah, do not mourn me dead; think I am gone and wait for thee, for we shall meet again.
As for my little boys, they will grow as I have done, and never know a father's love and care.
read all of it - and think of the US Civil war to stop slavery - and the IRAQ conflict
Letters mostly to home to their loved ones by soldiers in 1860ies USA

I am a sceptic
there are two issues
(1)
organising a one name study of more than about 3000 living people is
impossible for one person to administer
you can expect to find about 12 000 recorded ancestors with BDM
making more than 50 000 records to organise in a data base
- since the start of parish registers in the 16th century.

MyFamily Weekly Update : "Friday the Thirteenth
I was fascinated to read the origin of the superstition involving Friday
the 13th. And I have found an instance in my family, too. My
grandmother's birthday was always celebrated on May 12. Her parents were Norwegian immigrants. When I found her baptismal record in a Norwegian Lutheran church in a small town in Wisconsin, written in Norwegian, it showed she was born on May 13. The pastor said that in his experience, baptismal records were more to be trusted than family records. I looked up the day of the week of her first birthday, and sure enough, it was a Friday! Probably reason enough for her large family to 'remember' that she was born on the 12th. I'd bet that to the end of her 92 years she never knew any different.

Old Certificates
On certificates from 1855, don't take anything for granted. I found a certificate which had the wrong mother's name and the father's name had been scored out and re-written. There were a few certificates on the same page and the Registrar had written the names of the one before for my guy.

First Families 2001
The First Families 2001 pilot program funded by the State Library of Victoria, was designed to draw together stories of Australian families to celebrate the Centenary of Federation in 2001. This pilot program, with content contributed by the public, became a significant and innovative program marking the Centenary of Federation.
In acknowledgement of the contribution of the public to the First Families 2001 program, the State Library of Victoria has provided access to the database via the Web in read-only format for an additional three years from the conclusion of data entry on 31 December 2001.
This three year extension ends on 31 December 2004 and following recent changes to privacy legislation and associated implications for First Families 2001, the State Library will cease to provide access to the database after this date.

written by Rockne Johnson
Hi Carol,
The archives of this list are replete with discussion of the surname
notion. Your achievements in Danish genealogy will be enhanced if you,
temporarily, wipe the word from your vocabulary. In 1666 rural Denmark,
Rasmus had no surname. He had a name: Rasmus. He had a patronym derived
from his father's name: Christen. For the convenience of the community,
which may have contained several Rasmus Christensens, another name may have
been added to distinguish among them. This added name was descriptive in
some way and its entry into a record was at the discretion of the
writer. The added name could change (or be omitted) at the discretion of
the writer. It had no legal (or religious) significance. It may or may
not have been used for more than one member of a family.
Elsewhere in genealogy, where surname recognition is an important tool,
surnames are often written with all capitals. That practice has no
efficacy in the genealogy of us descendants of Danish peasants.

from the Monmouthshire list:-
Hello, please could anyone on the list be able to tell me regarding the IGI,
my reply:-
The I.G.I. (International Genealogical Index) was created for use by members of the Church of Jesus Christ the Latter-day Saints.
The "Temple Ready" trees are prepared and submitted as a spiritual exercise and may only be altered by the contributor.
Some of the transcriptions are old and not up to modern standards
Barry Ruck maintains some FAQs including http://homepage.ntlworld.com/barry.ruck/FAQIGI.htm
"There are TWO sources for the entries in the I.G.I., and they are not equally accurate.
These are as follows:
(1) Extracted Records.
The church has extracted records from various registers to produce indices to those registers, and used to process these indices through the temples and onto the I.G.I. as a result.
The policy here was to only index registers for which no entry was dated later than 31st December 1865, although this wasn't always strictly followed. As a result, entries from this source (which currently account for about 83% of the entries in the I.G.I.) primarily relate to events occurring on or before this date.
Records in this category can be identified by the fact that in the entry on the CD-ROM version of the I.G.I., the source is described as "Extracted..." and these records are generally accurate, although there are still errors therein.
(2) Personal Submission.
Members of the church who are researching their ancestry have submitted entries arising from their own research, using the best information they have at the time. As a result, such records frequently contain errors of many forms, and the records can relate to any time period.
Records in this category can be identified by the fact that in the entry on the CD-ROM version of the I.G.I., the source is described as "Submitted..." and these records should be treated with suspicion until proven correct from more reliable sources.
The church has now discontinued the practice of submitting extracted records through the temples and onto the I.G.I., so no new extractions will appear on the I.G.I. as such.
However, some extracted (and other) records that were submitted through the temples prior to 1970 are not currently included on the I.G.I., so future releases of the I.G.I. may still contain extracted records from that time period.
The coverage of parishes in the IGI is not complete, both because some parishes have not allowed their records to be filmed,
[including the Church in Wales as a whole - so only some bishop's transcripts held at - Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru - National Library of Wales are included in the IGI]
and because not all parishes whose records have been filmed were extracted.
It should also be remembered that the I.G.I. is only an Index and is neither complete nor totally accurate.
Anything that you find in it should be checked against the original register, and the absence of an entry does not mean that it did not take place."
One of the Gwent archivists told me that permission for Family History Library to film has been granted at last
The Family History Library
was founded in 1894 to gather genealogical records and assist members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with their family history and genealogical research
- Largest library of its kind in the world
- Open to the general public at no charge
- Visited by an estimated 2,000 patrons or more each day
more http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Library/FHL/frameset_library.asp
I hardly ever use the IGI but concentrate on census and parish registers
and I have got to go to Glamorgan county record office looking for a Swansea birth next
My work with Gwent parish registers has hardly begun but studying a village is well worth while and not too big a job
The Society of Genealogists library in London has many indexes to Monmouthshire PRs but the details are only in the Gwent archives and are unlikely to be on line for many years
Denmark's national Archive is putting TIF images on line of all their PRs up to 1891
