CHARGE OF BIGAMY DISMISSED

The Times,
Wednesday, Feb 21, 1906;
pg. 3; Issue 37949; col F

The Police Courts

At West London, GEORGE WRIGHT, aged 79, a herbalist, of All Saints'-road, North Kensington, was charged on remand with bigamy.
Mr. Ellis defended.
The allegation against the accused was that on January 24, 1906, he went through an illegal form of marriage with a Miss Panting at St. Stephen's Church, Grove-road, Clapham, when his lawful wife - a woman named Norman, whom he married in 1892 at Hampstead Registry Office - was alive.

As a matter of fact investigation showed that his marriage with Norman was invalid, inasmuch as his first wife, whom he married as far back as 1854, and from whom he seperated in 1872, was alive in 1897.

This wife actually died in 1900, so the accused's marriage with Miss Panting was quite legal. The present prosucution was brought at the instance of Norman. Mr. Ellis said that, as she knew her marriage with Wright was invalid, she had grossly misled the police into arresting the old man.

The accused was discharged.

genealogy in the Netherlands

from my email
translation help needed please

click here for 2.5mb image

. . . referencing my g~grandparents . . . On the right side is annotated father 36 years, mother 41 years, and witness below that.

I have so far deducted my gg grandfathers name was Jan Reinberg, his father Pieter. I have to clue as to g.g.g.grandmothers name? antje? Wy??????????

Any thing further you can pull out of this will be more than I presently have. I am attempting to trace behind Jan. I don't think I am going to be successful with out both parents names. It appears Pieter Reinberg was a very common name of that location and era.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Krautwurst Family

Family: Introduction:

"After a modest beginning in 1978, looking for Krautwurst family information in the Rochester (New York) area, data on the family in general has continued to increase. This is due to the substantial assistance of family members all over the USA, in Germany, South Africa, and elsewhere. Data has been compiled on the family going back to an earliest starting date in the year 1515. That is the assumed year of birth for the current patriarch, Martin Krautwurst of Gross-Breitenbach in Thuringia. "

The compiler is Larry Naukam

Scottish 1851 Census now on line

Scottish 1851 Census - ScotlandsPeople:

"On the night of 30 March 1851 the gathering of census information in Scotland took place under the jurisdiction of the Home Office, and was organised by the sheriffs and chief magistrates. All subsequent censuses have been conducted by the office of the Registrar General for Scotland, established under the 1854 Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Scotland) Act.

Census enumerators were appointed and assigned a specific area to cover, distributing a schedule to every household in that area before census night. They then collected the completed schedules the following day, checked the details and copied them into an enumerator's book.

The census information that we see derives from the enumerators' transcript books, not the original schedules, which were destroyed. "

Considering Apple includes the operating system with every Mac purchase, its OS revenue isn't endangered by allowing people to install Windows on a Mac post-sale. And it seems very unlikely that US Department of Justice will force Apple to sell Macs without an operating system anytime soon.
Of course, Apple can�t condone or encourage running Windows on Macs, because that would cause Mac developers to question whether they should continue investing in the OS X platform if Apple is not fully committed.

CONGRATULATIONS Cyndi Howells

Cyndi's List of Genealogy Sites on the Internet
Date: Tue, 5 Mar 1996
Subject: A New Web Site is Spun!

Cyndi Howells to CyndisList-L
Ten years ago, on March 4, 1996, I posted online my first attempt at a personal web site. Our personal site had our surnames, articles,and several other things that we planned to expand upon over time.
One small portion of the site was a list of links to genealogy web sites. It was one web page with more than 1,000 links. I had no idea that I had just created a monster that would take on a life of its
own. Since that time I have been the coyote, and Cyndi's List has been the roadrunner--taking me on a frantic chase to try and keep up with it, while also periodically dropping a virtual anvil on my head.

The original announcement was posted on Roots-L Tue, 5 Mar 1996 with the subject line: "A New Web Site is Spun!" In that message I bragged: "The many resources include:...a categorized list with over 1,000 links to genealogy Internet sites."

I had no way of knowing how big this little list was going to become, or what impact it would have on my life.

Since that day ten years ago life has not been dull. My son, Evan, was born (8 years old now). I've been through 5 computers and written three books. The site gained a corporate sponsor and then lost it three years later when Sierra sold the genealogy division. I have had the wonderful experience of traveling and speaking to hundreds of genealogy groups about this engrossing hobby of ours. Travel and trips have now been curtailed by family illnesses, but a break there means more time on the web site again. The ups and downs of running a site of this magnitude have worn me out often. But about the time I want to throw up my hands and run away
I get a big lift from one of the thousands of visitors to my site:
I receive a nice message telling me how helpful the site has been in their research. That is all it takes so that I'm off and running full steam ahead again.

Cyndi's List began as a six-page written article for my local genealogical society. When I put it online on March 4, 1996 my intension was to continue growing the list of links so that they might be helpful to other interested genealogists online. That intension hasn't ever changed. However, the amount of time and effort certainly has!

What is Cyndi's List?
The same research tool now that it was ten years ago (only bigger):
--A categorized & cross-referenced index to genealogical
resources on the Internet.
--A list of links that point you to genealogical research
sites online.
--A free jumping-off point for you to use in your online research.
--A "card catalog" to the genealogical collection in the immense
library that is the Internet.
--Your FREE genealogical research portal onto the Internet.

For anyone interested in learning more about using Cyndi's List, see the syllabus material created for my lecture, "A Guided Tour of Cyndi's List" http://www.CyndisList.com/guidedtour.pdf

On March 4, 1996 Cyndi's List started out with 1 page, 1,025 links, a handful of categories, and just one caretaker.

Today, 10 years after its creation Cyndi's List has:
--251,235 total links
--242,672 categorized links
--8,563 "What's New" links submitted by visitors
--684 individual web pages
--Visits through the front page: more than 43 million
--An average of 2 million page hits each month
--1 part-time employee, Michele
--1 periodic dabbler and caffeine-delivery person, Mark
--1 full-time caretaker, Cyndi

The Vermont State Archives automated more than 53,000 cards from the NYE INDEX, covering all 18th century records indexed by Mary Greene Nye. The NYE INDEX database is searchable by name, record description, and date. The index for 19th century records will be added as time and resources allow.
