My Ancestors - Retreats: "Crystal Inn Retreat Package
Nov. 15-20th Research Retreat at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah"

worth a thought - the greatest collection of genealogy in the world

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED
--- Legislation in Congress Seeks to Restrict Access to Birth
Records; FGS Recommends Writing to Your Congressional Representatives

======================================
The U.S. House of Representatives is considering a bill, House
Resolution 10 (H.R. 10), which seeks to restrict access to birth
certificates. This bill, which purpose is to respond to the threat of
terrorism, is on a fast track to passage and has been voted on by
several committees already. Your help is needed now.

David Rencher, Chairman of the Record Access and Preservation
Committee, a joint committee of the National Genealogical Society and
Federation of Genealogical Societies, has sent a letter to the bill's
sponsor, Congressman Dennis Hastert, recommending an amendment to the
bill as follows:

"However, nothing in this Chapter 2 shall be construed to require a
State to change its law with respect to public access to (A) non-
certified copies of birth certificates, or to (B) birth certificates
or birth records once a period of 100 years has elapsed from the
date of creation of the certificate or record."

A copy of the letter is available on the FGS site at:
http://www.fgs.org/rpa/formalactions.htm

To view this bill, go to:
http://thomas.loc.gov
Enter HR 10 in the search box for "Bill Number."

ACTION IS NEEDED NOW
Because this bill is moving toward passage so quickly, it is urged
that the genealogical community take action immediately and let their
representatives know that they are in support of David Rencher's
amendment and the FGS position in this important matter. To find your
state representative's contact information, go to:
http://www.house.gov/writerep/

HOW SHOULD I WORD MY LETTER?
While you should word the letter in any way that is comfortable for
you, it is recommended that you include the following as a portion of
the letter:

"While I support the intention to increase security to protect the
U.S. from terrorists and those who wish to improperly take U.S.
identities, I am concerned that those researching their family's
history continue to have access to non-certified birth records.

Therefore, in order to support HR-10 I ask that you amend HR-10
Section 3063(d)(2) by adding the following wording to the existing
paragraph:

'However, nothing in this Chapter 2 shall be construed to require a
State to change its law with respect to public access to (A) non-
certified copies of birth certificates or to (B) birth certificates
or birth records once a period of 100 years has elapsed from the date
of creation of the certificate or record.'

I believe that this additional language is imperative so that the
states do not react by restricting all certificates to comply with
the law, rather than dealing with certified as opposed to non-
certified birth certificates. This proposed amendatory language would
remind them that they can and should be treated differently."

MORGAN and DHUBHTHAIGH - GREAT CELTIC NAMES: These publications may reveal your origins

more from my email:-
The history of the name indicates that Morgans were Princes of Glamorgan, and we have produced several great CD-ROM's giving the early lines of these Princes, plus the succession through Glamorgan, Monmouth and Brecon of several other Morgan groups.
 
To see the whole picture it is necessary to look at them all,

The most recent work is now being done on the Descendants of Einon ap Collwyn, a compatriot of Jestyn ap Gwrgan, and it is amazing just how many Morgans there are included in this line.
 
Enquiries are therefore invited about this new publication, available on CD-ROM, part of the astonishing collection which includes among many other publications:
 
G001 - Lewis of Van
G002 - Descendants of the Princes of Glamorgan
G003 - The Matthew Family of Llandaff
G004 - The Family of Herberts
G018 - Descendants of Maenarch, Lord of Brecon

G033 - The Morgans of Tredegar House
 
all available from our web-page with payment available by Credit Card.  It is a virtual history of Glamorgan genealogy.  Libraries and Educational Establishments are particularly welcome to enquire about the true Morgan story.
 
If you are really serious about finding the truth about Morgans, you cannot be without any of these publications.

WELL I CAN do without it !
Morgans are a son of some Morgan the other, and with all patronymics your research needs to be done with great care - tiny step by tiny step backwards from the present.

We all must acccept the ancestral trail comes to an end when the records run out, and many question can never be answered.

i fianlly found it in my own old usenet postings
"THIS DATABASE is an extract of an Office of National Statistics database, and contains a list of surnames in use in England, Wales and the Isle of Mann in September 2002"

why

Surname --- Count --- Ranking
MORGAN -- 111337 -- 38

experience suggests that multiplying the result for your surname by 0.93 will give a good idea of the living population for your surname, and multiplying by 3.5 will give the population since the start of parish registers in the 16th century.

so a MORGAN one-name study will have about half a million records, which is why the London professional genealogists regards the MORGAN idea as eccentric to say the least.

Surname --- Count --- Ranking
MORGAN -- 111337 -- 38

I made a start on
Surname --- Count ---Ranking
LAPHAM -- 548 -- = 10573

but there are 13 000 more LAPHAM in USA so I have quietly slowed down on that project.
it would give us all great joy to locate weaver JOHN LAPHAM born 1635 in Devonshire

who came to America prior to 1673 Google Search: JOHN LAPHAM born 1635 in Devonshire

but if I go to Society of Genealogists Homepage

you may see how many parish registers there are to search - not to mention the gaps in the early records.

DNA 101: "

An individual's test results have little meaning on their own. You cannot take these numbers, plug them into some formula and find out who your ancestors are.

The value of the test results depends on how your results compare to other test results. And even when you match someone else, it will only indicate that you and the person you match share a common ancestor. Depending on the number of markers tested and the number of matches it will indicate with a certain degree of probability how long ago this common ancestor existed. It will not show exactly who this ancestor is."

Being close to the City, the Society's Library is conveniently situated for use in conjunction with many record repositories in London.

It is within walking distance of the Family Records Centre, the London Metropolitan Archive, and the Guildhall Library.

Charterhouse Buildings is a cul-de-sac at the junction of Goswell Road and Clerkenwell Road, about 500 metres north of Barbican station and a little further from Farringdon and Old Street stations. The Society occupies the last building in the cul-de-sac.

and a good test of The Knowledge of any taxi driver - say Goswell Road if in doubt!

RootsWeb: GENMTD-L Cousinhood: When Did the Rules Change?: "Yes, I know that questions about cousin relationships are frequently
asked hereabouts, which is why I'm not going to ask them. Indeed, I
think I understand the system. However, 30 years ago -- God, I feel
old! -- I was taught a very different system, in which one's parents'
cousins were one's second cousins and one's collateral
greatgrandpaternal descendants were one's third cousins. (Under the
system currently used these would be your first cousins once removed
and your second cousins, I gather, which makes sense. Correct me if
I'm wrong.)"
