Hendes Majestæt Dronningens Nytårstale 2005
. . . . . . . . Årets bog [2005] er en mærkelig bog. Noget af teksten står der allerede og vil afsløre sig dag for dag. Noget skrives af andre, uden at vi selv har ret megen indflydelse på det. Men noget af teksten skriver vi selv; derfor er årets bog også vores helt egen.

Lad os hjælpes ad med at gøre det nye års bog til en god bog for vort land og for vort samfund og for os alle hver især; måtte 2006 blive et glædeligt nyt år.

The Queen of Demark's speech to the nation ended by suggesting if a year is like an annual (book), then some of the text is written by others and is beyond our control, but there is much we can write ourselves and help make the new edition for 2006 a good one for the country and the people.

Glædeligt Nyt År

Happy New Year 2006

Godfrey Library to Drop HeritageQuest Online

Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter: "the Godfrey Memorial Library in Middletown, Connecticut, is in the process of dropping HeritageQuest Online from its portfolio of offerings. The information floating around online is confusing, and some comments that I read contradicted other online comments. I was bewildered. Today I talked with Godfrey Library Director Richard E. Black and received the 'inside story.
'
For several years, the Godfrey Memorial Library has offered in-home access to HeritageQuest Online's collection of the original images of U.S. census records, Revolutionary War Pension Applications, old family and local history books, and more. These services are normally available only to libraries, not to individual subscribers. Only a few years ago, to access any of HeritageQuest Online's databases you had to visit a library that had purchased a subscription to those databases. "

It seems ProQuest has decided that this "aggressive advertising" was a violation of the terms and conditions of the contract with the Godfrey Memorial Library. After some discussions between the two organizations, a decision was made to not renew the contract.

We are working on ways to include older posts as well.

RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: Ørum Pitzner

I took a trip on this snowy afternoon to help my friend Hedvig with her web pages of letters in danish and german from Moscow to Copenhagen written by her father Svend Ørum (1886-1975) between 1916-1919


He was treated as a son by his Moscow landlady's Schwallbach family and married their daughter Olga.




RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: Ørum Pitzner

forord til brevene

Her er en samling breve, som min far, Svend Ørum (1886-1975) sendte hjem til sine forældre i København fra Moskva, hvor han var dstationeret for sit firma, Simonsen og Nielsen.

De dækker perioden 1916-1919. I sommeren 1917 blev han gift med min mor, Olga Helene Schwallbach (1897-1988). De oplevede således revolutionen i Rusland i 1917. Først i foråret 1920 blev det muligt for dem at komme ud af Rusland og rejse til Danmark.

Sammenfaldende med revolutionen gik Rusland over fra den julianske ti den gregorianske kalender. I en del af brevene er der anført to datoer, hvor den første angiver den gamle tidsregning og den anden viser den nye tidsregning, som er 12 dage senere.

General Land Office Records Web Site Reconnected in BLM-Eastern States

Home - BLM GLO Records: "Welcome to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), General Land Office (GLO) Records Automation web site. We provide live access to Federal land conveyance records for the Public Land States. We also provide image access to more than two million Federal land title records for Eastern Public Land States, issued between 1820 and 1908. Images of Serial patents (land titles issued between 1908 and the mid-1960's) are currently being added to this web site. Due to organization of documents in the GLO collection, this site does not currently contain every Federal title record issued for the Public Land States."

General Land Office Records Web Site
Reconnected in BLM-Eastern States

The Bureau of Land Management-Eastern States announced that its
General Land Office (GLO) Records Web site is now back on line at
www.glorecords.blm.gov. Title companies, historians, genealogists,
and other interested people can now once again obtain millions of
historic land title records from the thirty Public Land States (those
States not included in the original 13 Colonies), East and West,
dating back to the 1780s. These fascinating and valuable records
include homesteads, patents, military warrants, and railroad
grants. To date more than 4.2 million records have been scanned and
imaged since the project began in 1989. This Web site provides a
wealth of historical data and literally tells the story of the
settlement of the West.

"The GLO Records Web site is one of the most popular Web sites at the
Department of the Interior. The Web site offers customers the
ability to easily research and query the GLO database by name, land
description, and county, and view and print these historic documents
from their homes or offices, saving them time and money," said
BLM-Eastern States Director Mike Nedd.

As the BLM completes its first round of Web site reconnections of
State-specific information sites, the following other BLM State
Office Web sites are also once again available on the
Internet: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New
Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. In addition, the BLM's Wild Horse and
Burro Information site is also now available. The Bureau originally
disconnected these sites so that site security could be improved.

"We at BLM recognize the impact that this disconnection has had on
our customers, and we thank them for their patience and understanding
during this period. The last six months have posed challenges, but
making sure that all constituents receive timely information about
the agency's actions has been a priority for the entire agency," said
Mike Nedd.

The BLM is now concentrating on reconnecting sites that provide
interactive non-Indian Trust data and services. Unfortunately, sites
of this kind are more complex and time consuming to
reconnect. Additional announcements will be made as other sites are
reconnected.
