Technology News: Business : Microsoft Brands Longhorn as 'Windows Vista'

Microsoft Windows Vista

I like this name with W and V together
will cause some tongues in foriegn languages to say
Windows Wista - or Vindows Vista
and does "W" or "V" exist in chinese?
WV rhymes with WC more or less

Hugh Grant has enabled the whole world to pronounce my first name so people will manage.

about 1,720,000 hits for Windows Vista,
surely thats good about 131,000 for "Windows Vista".

DO IT YOURSELF look ups - so called St Cath's Index (years ago it was at St Catherine's House london)
The Family Records Centre,
1 Myddelton Street,
Islington,
LONDON EC1R 1UW

The original index books are quite heavy, large and the older ones hand-written so don't go smartly dressed! The other option is to consult a microfilm copy of the index.

The microfilm copies are held at a number of sites throughout the country, usually at libraries or local record offices, and at LDS Family History centres. However there is a normally a heavy demand to consult them, and you may have to book well in advance. Some sites not have a complete set of indexes but they normally cover the 19th century.

King's College, Cambridge

King's College, Cambridge:
"An artificial memory (unlike the natural memory of man) is neither personal nor mortal; if properly cared for it is undying, and can be transferred again and again from the dead to the living. Therefore when King's College assumed the archive-maker's responsibility in a score of institutions all over the country - manors, rectories and priories - it became, not only the compiler of an official memory in respect of each one of them, but as the legitimate successor to deceased lords, impropriated rectors and suppressed monks, legitimate inheritor of a score of institutional memories. As an educational institution at Cambridge our memory runs back to 1441; as English landlords, our inherited memories extend almost to the Norman Conquest."

[John Saltmarsh "The muniments of King's College" Proceedings of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society Vol. 33
(1931-1932), pp. 83 – 97

Time - web radio Originally aired November 9, 2004 on San Francisco's KALW (91.7 FM)

Time:
"What is it?
Time is the most familiar thing in the world, and yet philosophically one of the most puzzling.
Is the present what's left when you subtract what has already happened, and what is yet to happen?
Then it seems to vanish into a mere instant.
Are future events completely unreal?
Or are they just the things we can't know yet?
Is time unreal, as many philosophers have thought?

British Origins - English genealogy search, England ancestor records and England maps has another system

NameX is vastly superior to Soundex
NameX is vastly superior to Soundex, which is really not well adapted for searching for name variants. For example, while NameX identifies 147 highly plausible variants for the surname Wilson, Soundex identifies 1185 "variants", of which nearly 90% are unlikely in the extreme (eg. Wahlgamath, Whilesmith, Willigenburg).

NameX uses a Last name thesaurus containg 75 million entries for 1.5 million distinct last names and a First name thesaurus containing over 3 million entries for 260,000 distinct first names.

Finding CANADIAN Descendants

Finding Descendants: "More than 620,000 Canadians were mobilized during THE GREAT WAR. Soldiers, nurses, paramedics, foresters, miners, railway men were all critical in the battles against Germany and her allies.
You may not have thought about what your great grandfathers, great grandmothers or great great uncles went through during the years of 1914- 1918. Ask your parents if they have any letters or journals from them as part of your family history. Perhaps there are artifacts from those war years, hidden in the attic or a box in the basement.
If you are curious and find no souvenirs from your ancestors, you can start your research by doing a couple of quick searches on the internet. It would be a good idea to do these searches before you fill out your application."

by Lisa A. Alzo

from
Your Daily Dose of Genealogy for 18 July 2005
You can view this issue of the "Ancestry Daily News" online

MYTH #1
IT'S TOO DIFFICULT.

MYTH #2
YOU WILL FIND ALL OF THE INFORMATION YOU SEEK ONLINE.

MYTH #3
YOU SHOULD SEARCH ONLY ON CONTEMPORARY SPELLINGS FOR NAMES AND PLACES

MYTH #4
"I KNOW MY ANCESTOR CAME THROUGH ELLIS ISLAND . . . AND OTHER FALSE ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT IMMIGRATION

MYTH #5
FOR EASTERN EUROPEAN RESEARCH ALL COUNTRIES ARE CREATED EQUAL

GEOGRAPHY 101

In summary, if you're an Eastern European genealogist today, you should feel optimistic. The common myths that once stood as roadblocks to your research no longer need hold you back. With patience, persistence, and creative web sleuthing, you can demystify the process of finding your ancestors.
