STAND ON PRIVACY

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales had subpoenaed Google
see MSN News
FEDERAL JUDGE "Ware ruled that the 50,000 Web addresses, or URLs, were a relevant request by the government, which wants the data for a statistical study it is doing to show the effectiveness of filtering software at issue in a separate case -- ACLU v. Gonzales -- that concerns a federal law on online child pornography.

'The expectation of privacy by some Google users may not be reasonable, but may nonetheless have an appreciable impact on the way in which Google is perceived, and consequently the frequency with which users use Google,' Ware wrote.

'This concern, combined with the prevalence of Internet searches for sexually explicit material ... gives this court pause as to whether the search queries themselves may constitute potentially sensitive information,' he said.
In his decision, Judge Ware wrote of the 'three vital interests' that needed to be weighed in the case: national interest, proprietary business information and privacy concerns.

'This Court is particularly concerned any time enforcement of a subpoena imposes an economic burden on a non-party,' he wrote in a filing made at the close of business of Friday."

from my email:-

Hello Hugh.

Thanks very much for the information you put out on soc.genealogy.britain regarding searching the 'births/marriages/deaths' on Ancestry last Friday.

I only picked it up last night and tried it out, and yes it is very much quickerand easier to browse.

Still didn't find what I was after, but that's another story.

Thanks again.

Regards

Please be helpful, with any freebie beta test it is up to us to report errors

I use the missing image dialogue for this purpose
personally I surf those images
just as if manually searching fiche

  think it is quicker and easier to just browse this collection,

============================

once you get in

eg
http://content.ancestry.co.uk/Browse/list.aspx?dbid=8965&path=1906

just change the year by typing a new one in between 1837 and 1983

http://content.ancestry.co.uk/Browse/list.aspx?dbid=8965&path=1837

to

http://content.ancestry.co.uk/Browse/list.aspx?dbid=8965&path=1983

here are the 1837 sep Benson mrriages

http://content.ancestry.co.uk/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=8965&path=1837.Jul-Aug-Sep.B.14

modify the url by typing

1837. <<>

.Jul-Aug-Sep. other quarters Apr-May-Jun or Jan-Feb-Mar or Oct-Nov-Dec .B. <>

.14 <<>

so I would try around page 42 if 100 then straddle eg plus 10 back 5 until you find the right image

you will find "your" surname will always be statistically in about the same percentage position

Australia by email

The following are a few of the links I very quickly did for Mary.
Some may be of interest to you depending where your research is. You may already be aware of the big ones but thought I'd send just in case.

NSW BDM Registry index online.

Aussie lists
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/intl/AUS/

I recommend the following Perth list (very friendly & similar to Bristol &
Somerset list):

Perth Dead Persons Society (which is for Perth & surrounding areas mainly
but can include all of Western Australia).
This is their website http://www.perthdps.com/
Their list is on RootsWeb & is called DPS-CHAT. You can subscribe from a
link on their website above or at RootsWeb.

WA doesn't have BDM online (last I checked) & I don't have CDs as all my
families are recent to WA & I haven't needed to get any certificates but
someone on list I mentioned above should help.

There has been a major update for the Surname Navigator, a simple one
input-form mega search engine for surnames and "cross-border"
emigration research. There is a global version and separate versions
for 45 countries. It's a good starting point to search for a name.
Researchers can save many hours using mega search engines such as

my guest's genealogy

Visiting a genealogist means you risk getting your family history done

Poul Hanmann is Charlotte's father from Kendtes gravsted
the stone is due to be removed in October 2006 unless the family pays

Poul Frederik Hanmann - Google Search
shows the family has a unique name and Inger is her mother.

Charlotte gave me two additional key facts last night, her grandfather was born in 1878 and her family came from Altona when it was danish. Today it is a suburb of Hamburg in Germany

googling onwards gave me:-

Ermland, or Ermeland (Varmiensis, Warmia), a district of East Prussia and an exempt bishopric

During the Partitions of Poland Warmia was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1772, while the property of the bishop was confiscated by the Prussian state. Ignacy Krasicki, the last prince-bishop as well as a Polish writer, was nominated to the Archbishopric of Gniezno. The Prussian census in 1772 showed a total population of 96,547 including an urban population of 24,612 in 12 towns. 17,749 houses were listed and the biggest city was Braunsberg (Braniewo).
From 1772-1945 Warmia was part of Lutheran East Prussia, with the exception that the people of Warmia remained Catholic. The population of northern Warmia spoke standard German (as opposed to Low German used in the rest of East Prussia), while the south was populated by Polish-speaking Warmiaks. In 1873 the Polish language was forbidden in all schools in Warmia, including Polish schools founded in the 16th century. In 1900 Warmia's population was 240,000.

the DISTAFF side

Finding Your Female Ancestors: "Everyone has an equal number of male and female ancestors... but it is much easier to find records that name the men. Even when you find a record that names the woman, it often gives only her married name. So it is harder to find the parents of your women ancestors than those of the men, just as it is more difficult to delve into the details of her life.

As we search for our women ancestors, we will be interested not just in their names and dates, but of the society in which they lived.

How did the laws affect them?

How common was it for them to work outside the home?

What was home life like during the time they lived?

Can we find letters or diaries kept by them or their relatives or neighbors?

Is there mention of them in the local newspapers?

Research Aids for Local and Family Historians

Original Indexes was established in July 1996 to meet the growing demand among local and family historians for indexes to primary sources in a cheap and convenient format - microfiche. Our policy of publishing a minumum of twelve new titles each quarter means we now have the largest catalogue of its kind in the north-east of England. Standard histories also feature on our catalogue. Originally on microfiche, these are now available on CD-ROM at a fraction of their antiquarian value.

Though based in the north-east of England, our catalogue reflects a range of interests, regional, national and international - as you will gather from browsing the pages on this site. Most reflect our regional base; they are based on the 1911 census returns for the ecclesiastical parishes of the counties of Durham and Northumberland. Others highlight our private passions and the threads of our own research. They are constantly being updated, so don't take your eyes off them!

Welcome to the Ogre blog spot

The OGRE blog about the welsh memorial inscription project

The OGRE website at http://www.cefnpennar.com/ is, amongst other things, the publication of a project to photograph and catalogue gravestone inscriptions prior to 1930 in South Wales, UK.

The site provides images of all the headstones and an inscription where possible, subject to damage and illegibility.

It is provided as a free genealogical research tool for users worldwide,

other free resources, for example, the 1873 Landowners Returns for Wales.

Richard Hopkins created this blog to provide a forum for users of the OGRE website to provide feedback and comments on the site, and also as an area where he can provide information on upcoming graveyards, and the progress of the transcription of the graveyards.
