a pair of Macrea Smoked Scottish kipper fillets with butter to the better
2 slices of rugbrød oops that was danish for ryebread from Lidl
which is the only decent ryebread I have found here near Birmingham so far - it has a long shelf life and is often rather dried out.
A high fibre (7%) bread is good, especially when dieting because it is slowly digested and releases its energy slower than white bread.

Just boil in the bag! no the kippers better 4 mins. defrost and 4 minutes full micro - was time enough to do the washing up too.

Proper kippers are best got from the covered market hall in Birmingham excellent fishmongers with at least 6 to 8 types of kippers - and butchers too. AS in all markets observe carefully what you get - cheap means just that - some of the chicken looks very very mass produced.

We always ate grilled kippers - top grill gas powered - but the experts say fresh never frozen kippers should be warmed by immersion in a jug of boiling water for about 6 minutes.

Any fish is good cooked in water or steamed in a fish kettle and I think the microwave oven is just as good in conserving flavour.

Kippers are just the local form of split smoked herrings - often smoked whole, or salted, all around the North Sea rim countries.

Henry Hacking: "Family folklore is that my HACKING ancestors were related to Henry Hacking of the First Fleet - my family legends, passed down through Great-grandfather George Hacking and his daughter Elizabeth, are usually surprisingly reliable; the same folklore also came down through the family of George�s elder brother James Hacking.
My maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Hacking (later Burke), was the daughter of George Hacking (1846-1920), master confectioner of Melbourne. George, aged nearly 5, with his father (Liverpool cabinetmaker James Hacking, 1811-1868), his mother (Elizabeth Bayes, 1816-1903, born in London), her father William Bayes (a trunk and portmanteau maker), and George�s four surviving siblings, sailed on 1st August 1850 from Liverpool as intermediate passengers on the Courier, a ship of about 1000t, to Port Phillip (now Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) - the Courier also carried passengers for Adelaide where it proceeded after leaving Port Phillip.

Rob and Dave,

Re your posts below. How very interesting!

I put up a small and extremely basic website about a year ago. Basic it
certainly was and is - as my granddaughter's strictures made clear to me
(and as anyone can see)!! Anyway, I submitted it to Google - several
times - with no luck. Which totally discouraged me from doing anything more
with it. Though there is much I could put on the Web on my own family
history and on the two amateur one-name studies I'm doing (the very rare
name LOCHTIE/LOCHTY/LOUGHTY and the fairly unusual name MCLAWS/MCLEHOSE and
all 80 or so variants).


I did wonder whether Google's failure to accept me might have been because
the main (only!) article on my very basic site was about Henry HACKING,
Quartermaster of the 'Sirius' in the First Fleet to Australia - I wondered
whether 'hacking' might have been an obvious no-no!!


Perhaps I should persevere! Now - how can I find a Google site which will
link to me!!

J

well here you are Judy
the discussion has drifted - mea culpa - from "A lad of 17 years what would he be doing in the 1860's " to the inadequacies of google indexing, in which there are many gaps.

MARRIAGE DATES in USA records

Sometimes you may see more than one marriage date for a couple. This
can be confusing unless you know that there can be three dates for a
marriage recorded in the courthouse (depending on the state and
county):

first, the date the license was purchased;

second, the date of the actual marriage ceremony; and,

third, the date of the "returns." (This is the date the pastor, Justice of the Peace, etc. filled out his portion of the license and returned it to the
courthouse.)

Sometimes a license was taken out and never used.

For example, in Dickson County, TN, a license was taken out for Oliver McMenn and Elizabeth Reddon on October 11, 1841. This note of explanation is
entered: "License returned by Oliver and he stated that same was not
executed that the girl backed out from the engagement June 22, 1842".

A marriage license would appear to be the best source. However, in
the case of my own parents (married in Rapides Parish, La.) the
license was taken out June 16, 1923. The preacher filled out his
portion of the license (I have a copy of that license) and returned
the license to the courthouse, but forgot to enter the actual date of
marriage (which was June 17, 1923). So the only dates for their
marriage entered in the courthouse were the date they purchased the
license and the date of the return.

Evesham's Royal Wedding of 1907
November 1907 was a time of great excitement in Evesham and its neighbourhood, as nearby Wood Norton Hall, home of the Duc d'Orleans, claimant to the throne of France, was the setting for a spectacular royal wedding. The happy couple were Princess Louise d'Orleans, the younger sister of the Due d'Orleans, and Prince Charles de Bourbon-Siciles.

The Duc d'Orleans had made ambitious plans for the nuptials, including the construction of a large wooden pavilion at the side of his mansion, as the private chapel at Wood Norton was much too small for the ceremony.

snipped
Unfortunately the chapel had not been licensed for the solemnization of matrimony, so early on the wedding morning the royal couple had to go to Evesham and take their vows in a simple, official ceremony conducted in the corrugated iron hut which functioned as the town's Roman Catholic Church.
Medal Index Cards

I am pleased to say that since this was written, the Western Front Association have agreed to take on the care of the records and are currently putting in an application to the Ministry of Defence, which is supported by the National Archives. Early negotiations are proving fruitful: the eventual aim is to make the records available to the public, possibly via the Internet.

The Medal Index Cards (or MICs) were used in the 1920s to issue the campaign medals for WW1. These medals were given to every soldier who served overseas. There are nearly six million cards, and they include such famous names as Lawrence of Arabia, Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen and Winston Churchill.

The original cards were compiled by disabled servicemen and women clerks in the early 1920s to issue the campaign medals for the First World War. In each case the soldier’s basic military details are shown, together with the medals awarded. They are the starting point for any research into the men and women who served in World War One.

The cards were copied by the National Archives (NA) in the 1980s, and digitalised in the late 1990s and made available on the Internet. However, only one side of the cards was copied: the reverse side, which in at least 10-20% of the records shows additional information, was never copied. The cards are now due for destruction by the Ministry of Defence (MOD).

The latest edition of Your Family Tree Magazine carries the following editorial:

As we go to press, it has come to my attention that in April the MOD
intends to destroy some 6 million records of medals issued to WW1
personnel. I think you will agree that we cannot let them do so.

Our military expert Paul Reed has been looking into the matter and it
appears that the private facility used by the MOD to hold the records at
Hayes wants to relocate and charge the MOD for moving the cards. The
MOD's response is to get rid of the 140 filing cabinets that contain the
4-6 cards. The National Archives doesn't want to take on the cards
because it has already microfiched them and the microfiche has been
digitally scanned


This is the only complete and untouched record
of First World War soldiers left. Other service records were burned
during WW2. Only the fronts of the cards have been scanned and we
believe that written on the back of many of these cards is the address
that the medals were sent to

The MOD claims its holds copyright on the cards and that it can do what
it wishes with them. I'd argue that these cards are part of the
nation's heritage. They are public records, and I'd remind the MOD that
the descendants of WW1 soldiers pay their taxes.

SWEDISH VOTERS OF CHICAGO, 1888

Referring to today's tip about the Chicago Voters, you might want to
know that Nils William Olsson, F.A.S.G., of Winter Park, FL, in 2000
published a book "Swedish Voters of Chicago 1888" in which he had
identified several hundreds of them in other sources like the
"Chicago City Directory" or the records of the Swedish American
churches of the area. In this way he helped their descendants to find
out more about their immigrating ancestor. Chicago in 1900 had more
Swedes than Gothenburg, the second-largest city in Sweden.

Yours,

TOPIC: South African genealogy FAQ

== 1 of 1 ==
Date: Sun, Mar 20 2005 11:07 am
From: Stephen.Hayes@family-news.org

If you are a newcomer to South African genealogy, you may have a
lot of questions. Here are some answers to some of the most
frequently asked questions:

WHERE'S THE BEST PLACE TO BEGIN?

If you're asking this on the Internet, presumably you have access
to a web browser, and one of the best places to begin with South
African genealogy is right here:

http://home.global.co.za/~mercon/

WHERE CAN I FIND SOUTH AFRICAN CENSUS RECORDS?

The short answer is: You can't. South African census returns are
routinely destroyed after statistical information has been
abstracted, so South African genealogists don't use them.

WHAT DO SOUTH AFRICAN GENEALOGISTS USE THEN?

One of the best places to begin is the records of deceased
estates. These usually have a Death Notice, which should (but
sometimes doesn't) give you the names of the parents, spouse and
children of the deceased, or if the deceased was unmarried, the
names of brothers and sisters. They have the wills, if any
(except in the Cape, where wills and estate accounts have been
filed separately from death notices in the older estates), and
the estate accounts. The older ones are in the archives and have
computer indexes, and you can search the indexes on the web here:

http://www.national.archives.gov.za/naairs_content.htm

but be sure to read the introduction and explanatory text before
searching.

WHERE CAN I FIND SOUTH AFRICAN SHIPPING LISTS?

First, they are not a good place to start looking. They are
incomplete, and all over the place. If you want to know if some
relative went to South Africa and died here, look in the deceased
estates, not the shipping lists. In most cases, shipping lists
are a last resort, or a means of providing "filler" information
to round out the family history. Secondly, if you do want to try
shipping lists, you need to know where your ancestor came from,
and roughly when. If the answer is Germany 1859, the shipping
lists have been published (Werner Schmidt-Pretoria, _Deutsche
Auswanderung nach Sued-Afrika im 19 Jahrhundert_). Some other
shipping lists have also been published, but they are
fragmentary.

If you are looking for ancestors who emigrated to Southern Africa
in the period 1890-1925, one possible source is _South Africa_
magazine. This was published in London. The Johannesburg Public
Library and the National Library in Tshwane have incomplete runs.
You could try other libraries too. They published lists of
passengers embarking at British ports for South Africa, and
embarking at South African ports for the UK (and sometimes other
places). _South Africa_ magazine is a useful source, if you can
find it, as it also has birth, marriage and death announcements,
and other personal news, usually of the richer members of
society.

WHERE CAN I FIND WILLS OR PROBATE RECORDS?

With the deceased estates. See:

http://www.national.archives.gov.za/naairs_content.htm

I did a search on the archives: what do the funny things like
DEPOT and VOLUME mean?

See the warning above: Be sure to read the introduction and
explanatory text before searching. If you didn't, go here now:

http://www.national.archives.gov.za/fields.htm

HOW DO I GET A BIRTH CERTIFICATE?

With some difficulty. First, to apply for one, you need to know
the information you probably want to get from the certificate.
That's Catch 22. Catches 1-21 are almost as bad. Birth cer-
tificates are expensive. They take a long time to get. The
indexes are not open to the public so you can't ask someone else
to look them up. For more information, and applications forms,
see:

http://www.home-affairs.gov.za/

The good news is that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints (LDS, Mormons) has microfilmed some of the registers, so
that if you want the information in the register, as opposed to
an official certificate, you can try there.

If you want to know what the LDS has, go to their web site:

http://www.familysearch.org

Click on LIBRARY, click on FAMILY LIBRARY HISTORY CATALOGUE,
click on PLACE SEARCH
NAME enter South Africa
Click on Civil Registration
Click on HERE right at the bottom so
you have a printable copy.

HOW DO I GET A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE?

Marriage certificates are of little use to genealogists in South
Africa. They do not give the names and occupations of parents.
They are as difficult to get as birth certificates.

For more information on getting marriage certificates see:

http://www.home-affairs.gov.za/

Your best chance of seeing a marriage certificate, however, is if
the couple got divorced, and you find a copy in the divorce
records. SOME divorce records are in the archives, and you can
find them here:

http://www.national.archives.gov.za/naairs_content.htm

The archival references to divorces will sometimes speak of
"illiquid cases" or "opposed applications", and sometimes there
will be both. Make sure you order the right ones. They can be
quite useful. Sometimes you can really get the dirt on your
ancestors from these things - private detectives' reports on how
many times they committed adultery, where and with whom, for
example. Also, names and ages of minor children and who got the
custody.

If you still want a marriage certificate (or birth certificate),
you need to apply to the Department of Home Affairs, Private Bag
X114, Pretoria, 0001. Before they can issue a certificate, they
usually want to know the kind of information you probably hope to
get from the certificate. Marriages were registered nationally
from 1923 to 1976, and after 1994. Between 1976 and 1994 some
"homeland" marriages may have been registered separately. Before
1923 registrations were in the different provinces, and before
1910 in the different colonies. Before 1902 it was in the
different republics and colonies. You still apply to the same
place, but bear in mind that older registers are kept in the
archives, and for a certificate to be written they have to be
transferred from the archives to the Department of Home Affairs
and then returned. This can take a long time.

Also check the information above under "Birth Certificates" on
how to find out if any of the marriage registers have been
filemed by the LDS Church.

Before about 1895 in many places marriages were only recorded in
church registers.

The situation is a lot more complex than described above, and the
complexities are things you can ask about on the list, but the
general description should give you some idea of the kind of
questions that might be worth asking.

WHERE CAN I FIND CHURCH RECORDS?

With difficulty. There are well over 8000 separate religious
denominations in South Africa, and many people change
denominations 3 or more times during their lives. People move to
a new town, and join a new denomination or religion, or become
agnostics or atheists. The records of these denominations are all
over the place too. Some of the older and larger denominations
have centralised their records, but most have not. They are kept
in local churches and can be damaged or destroyed by damp, acid
paper or ink, insects, mice, fire or flood, or simply being
tossed out in an over-zealous clean-up. Some of the smaller
denominations keep very poor records. Forged marriage cer-
tificates are common, especially in rural areas. If you know what
denomination your ancestors were, and where they were living,
when children were born or they were married, you can ask some
specific questions on the SA Genealogy list like "Where are the
Wesleyan Methodist Registers for Colesberg in the period 1860-
1880?"

But general requests for look ups in church registers without
mentioning a particular denomination, time and place are unlikely
to get a useful response.

Never tell your age and keep a young attitude

I quit telling my age when I was 22 and now nobody knows or remembers. My theory is, if you are fun to be around, make them feel good about themselves(compliments given are future compliments received)and smile alot, they think you're younger than you are and therefore you have friends of all ages. Everyone now thinks I'm 15 years younger than I am and I love it

"Mt Pinos Webspinners was what we initially called the troup of Internet oldbies and genealogy volunteers who founded RootsWeb. It's such a nifty name, it's kind of a shame we don't use it much anymore, especially since Brian and I live on the north side of Mount Pinos, but there you are.
