Build a sitemap -- to help visitors and search engines

Your sitemap can also help search engine crawlers find all the pages at your site quickly, meaning that you will be better represented in search engine indexes and hence get more traffic. Just submit your sitemap page instead of your home page at all the search engines. (NB -- Search engine crawlers typically do not check every page at your site. They presume that the pages you link to directly from the page you submit are more important than ones several clicks away. Different crawlers stop automatically at different depths. NB -- Lycos says they only go one level down. "The Lycos spider will try to travel through links contained in the webpage you submit. A good rule of thumb is to count on the spider traveling down one level from the page you submit." By submitting your sitemap page -- with links to all your pages -- you should get maximum coverage.)

AHA I need a new full site map on my top level and then I will resubmit it

No matter how large your site is, you should make every effort to keep your sitemap complete and up to date and to include all the necessary information and links on a single page. If your site is large, you should organize your sitemap by category, and at the top of the page list your major headings with internal links to those portions of the page. Keep it simple.

Remember your aim isn't to keep your visitors at your site for a long time, but rather to help them get what they want quickly and effectively, so they'll to come back again and again. by Richard Seltzer, seltzer@samizdat.com,

The Denmark List FAQ and I say to myself there is no fool like an old fool !

I was hunting everywhere on the web via google for this page, because I wanted to connect a LASSEN descendant in USA , whom I had met in an AOL genealogy chatroom, and am helping with his North German connection - which in fact turns out to be Danish, being before 1864, with this very important Danish list for english speaking people.

Today AOL Learning - Genealogy was in the top left quarter.

At first I dropped AOL after a months free trail some years ago, but returned when an AOL CD gave my an emegency dial up when I lost my password to cable TV BlueYonder and they could not give me a new one quickly enough.

General Register Office (GRO) - Births, Deaths and Marriages registration

from usenet

The level of certificate application receipts significantly increased
as a result of the BBC series in November/ December last year.
The GRO continues to receive high levels of applications as a result
of this continued interest in family history research.
As a result we are despatching the majority of standard orders with a
GRO index reference between 8 and 10 working days* after receipt.
A full recovery plan is in place and it is expected that the 4 working
day service will resume from the beginning of April 2005.
T

and from Ancestors Magazine they are quoted as saying that in November the
number of certs increased by 33,000 up from 115,000 for October that's an
increase of 28% so I for one think they have done tremendously well

FreeBMD: 7 Steps to Contribute: "Since 1837 births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales have been registered and genealogists use the index records as the first step in ordering copies of the actual certificates. It is these certificates which provide a wealth of information on parents, addresses, names etc. Microfilm and Microfiche copies of the original indexes have been made and are available for viewing but require access to a microfilm/fiche viewer that is difficult or requires significant travel for many people. Searching through the microfilm/fiche index records is also very slow and it is easy to make mistakes.
FreeBMD is an entirely volunteer project. It is hosted by Rootsweb and intends to bring this process into the 21st century. By putting the index records on the Internet it will be simpler and quicker for researchers everywhere to locate the record they are looking for. What used to take hours over a fiche reader can now be achieved in seconds. Access to the index records will remain free, hence our name: FreeBMD. Researchers will still need to buy the required certificates from the Office of National Statistics of Britain, but FreeBMD makes it easier to find exactly the index record you are looking for. "

IPUMS-USA and IPUMS-International

IPUMS-USA is a coherent national census database spanning 1850 to 2000.
High precision samples
the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS-98), created at the University of Minnesota in October 1997.

The IPUMS consists of twenty-seven high-precision samples of the American population drawn from fourteen federal censuses.
Some of these samples have existed for years, and others were created specifically for this database.

The twenty-seven samples, which span the censuses of 1850 to 2000, collectively comprise our richest source of quantitative information on long-term changes in the American population.
However, because different investigators created these samples at different times, they employed a wide variety of record layouts, coding schemes, and documentation.

This has complicated efforts to use them to study change over time.

The IPUMS assigns uniform codes across all the samples and brings relevant documentation into a coherent form to facilitate analysis of social and economic change.

Searching for American families is pretty easy these days -- especially
if you subscribe to the U.S. census records at Ancestry.com. Just type
in the names and narrow the search to a particular census year and
state, right?

Alas, it is not always that simple. And, even when you find them, how
can you be sure they are yours, when the ages and other information
do not quite match?

Did our ancestors really lie to the enumerators? Did the census takers
'pad' the records? . . . . . .

Stemmons Publishing Home: "For many years we have been publishing reprints of classic genealogy books at prices much reduced from what was available at most other publishers. To do this, it was necessary to reduce the text so more than one page could be placed on a sheet of paper.

While the size of the text has been a concern for some, it has now become a great advantage to all. Because of our unique method of publishing (placing multiple pages on one sheet), we were able to get an average of 70 books on a single disc for less than 50 cents a book!

Over 700 genealogy books including many time-honored classics have now been scanned and placed on 10 compact discs so that you can access these books on your computer.

Just imagine: 16 volumes of The Mayflower Descendant for less than $7!"

SN 1316 -National Sample from the 1851 Census of Great Britain

Abstract:
The objects of the project were,

1. To draw a two per cent systematic stratified cluster sample from the enumerators' books; the cluster unit is the settlement for settlements of less than 2,000 population (England and Wales only), twenty successive individuals in every 1,000 (adjusted so that families are not broken up) for institutions, and one enumerators book in fifty for the rest of the country.

2. To prepare a complete machine-readable transcript of the roughly 400,000 individual entries resulting from the sample.

3. To code the data by computer into standardised numerical form using specially developed coding directories and appropriate coding software.

4. To prepare a number of data sets in appropriate formats for use with standard data analysis packages.

5. To employ the data set via package or other software to explore various salient aspects of the nineteenth century social and economic structure at national, regional, occupational and other levels of analysis and to write up the results for publication.

6. To make available to interested parties data sets of a kind suitable for their purposes whether in the form of transcripts, coded data sets in various formats, photocopies of partially processed data and so on.

7. To produce special tabulations for interested scholars (subject to constraints of time and computing resources) and to assist others in doing tabulation or preparing their own software to access the data.

8. To make available ancillary products of the data set such as coding directories, code books etc.

9. To act as a centre of expertise in problems of census analysis and of the National Sample data sets.

Main Topics:
Variables
Name, address, relationship to head of family, marital status, age, sex, occupation, place of birth, whether blind or deaf and dumb.

First Edition: 1979
Official government source for Scottish genealogy: "ScotlandsPeople is pleased to announce the recent addition of almost 100,000 new index and corresponding image entries to the site, amounting to six gigabytes of data.

Following the release of new year data for the statutory births, marriages and deaths, customers can now access records from the Statutory Register of Births for 1904, the Statutory Register of Marriages for 1929, and the Statutory Register of Deaths for 1954. Images for the new years are also available for download."

I needed a calender to find a date of death

Mercury Newspaper dated 15 March 1872
Tasmania

DEATH BY CHOKING

On Tuesday last an elderly woman, named Frances Reeves, while eating some food in Mr R Thompson’s kitchen, New Norfolk, rushed out of the house, fell to the ground, and died in a few minutes, before medical aid arrived. An inquest was held at the Freemason’s Hotel the next day before W.A. Jamieson Esq. Coroner, and a respectable jury, of whom Mr Barton was foreman, Dr Moore, the medical witness, made a post mortem examination of the body, but could not find any cause of death until the windpipe was opened, when portions of the food deceased had been eating were found lodged in it. The jury, according to the evidence returned a verdict of death from asphyxia by choking.
