gramps-project.org: "GRAMPS is a genealogy program for Linux and other UNIX-like systems. The GRAMPS name stands for Genealogical Research and Analysis Management Programming System.

GRAMPS helps you track your family tree. It allows you to store, edit, and research genealogical data. GRAMPS attempts to provide all of the common capabilities of other genealogical programs, but, more importantly, to provide an additional capability of integration not common to these programs. This is the ability to input any bits and pieces of information directly into GRAMPS and rearrange/manipulate any/all data events in the entire data base (in any order or sequence) to assist the user in doing research, analysis and correlation with the potential of filling relationship gaps.

GRAMPS currently runs on Linux, BSD, and Solaris -

and Apple OS X
  operating systems. 

. For more information about getting GRAMPS, see the download page."

Parish registersAll Danish parish registers older than 1892 are included in the digitisation project. The end year may, however, differ for South Jutland (North Schleswig) because the local parish registers were kept according to different rules in the period 1864-1920, when South Jutland was under German administration.

Wills in Copenhagen

Skiftevæsen i København

Skifteprotokoller i København
København har der været en lang række forskellige skiftejurisdiktioner og det kan godt være en lidt vanskelig opgave at finde frem til et skifte. Tiden før 1771 kan virke meget uoverskuelig og skiftematerialet er meget “hullet”. Frem til 1863 skal du i princippet kende den afdødes erhverv, for at finde ud af, hvor du skal søge efter skiftet og opgaven er ikke helt let. Men der findes heldigvis forskellige navneregistre på Landsarkivet, som gør eftersøgningen lidt nemmere.

Melungeons

I came across these people when I took on the administration of the RootsWeb Message Boards [ Melungeon ] for a period in 2004 and 2005

melungeon rootsweb - Google Search

info:
"If you ask, ' Who are the Melungeons?' you are like most people. If you have been researching your family in the Cumberland Plateau of Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, West Virginia, and Tennessee, during the early migration years, you may be able to find them through a connection to this group of people who are only now being researched with unbiased eyes. The Melungeons are a people of apparent Mediterranean descent who may have settled in the Appalachian wilderness as early or possibly earlier than 1567."

Some descendants have had six fingers or toes.
There is a family of people in Turkey whose surname translated into English is "Six Fingered Ones." The term for that in Turkiq is "AltI parmak." (pronounced "altah-par-mock) "AltI" ends with the undotted Turkish "i" which is pronounced as "uh."

There is a region near Efes (Ephesus) called "AltI Parmak" - many of the people there have historically had six fingers.

Some families have even taken the last name of "AltIparmak."

Genealogy pages
The genealogy pages fall into two sections, public and personal.

The Public pages have questions to help you interview a relative or write an autobiography, links and tips for beginning Internet genealogists, a list of scams and three pages about GEDCOM files.

The Personal section has my ancestors. I have almost 5,000 individuals, all in GENDEX format with indexes. If you came here from Roots Web World Connect to see my individuals without pop-ups, the Personal section is the place to go.

What are Standards?:

FOR EXAMPLE
"Do you abbreviate the state or spell it out? If you spell it out it takes longer to type, but it is clearer. WA, for instance, means Washington State in the US of A but Western Australia down in kangaroo land. USA can be the U of SA or the US of A, depending on whether you mean the Union of South Africa or the United States of America. "

Warning Genealogy Scams

Beginning Genealogy - Scams: "Not everyone who sells things on the Internet is honest.
There are several legitimate subscription-based web sites for genealogy.
This is a list of illegitimate ones. Sooner or later you'll get an e-mail offer from one of these people or someone running the same scam. If you do, put one hand on your wallet and back away slowly.

They promise millions of names (sometimes billions), take your money then give you links to RootsWeb, FamilySearch and the other free sites. They change names a lot. Here's a list. The dates are the first time I received a spam from the site. These are not links, and I've put some spaces in for legibility."

About November of 2002 these folks started mining the Gen Forum and Ancestry genealogy query boards. You will get a spam saying they may have data you asked for on the SMITH board just last month, and all you have to do is sign up for a trial subscription. Be warned - they lie. That one word, may is all that keeps them from getting convicted of wire fraud. I may have a pig that can fly. He may be in the back yard right now, grazing in the high branches of the apple tree like a hummingbird at a hibiscus blossom. If you give me $10 I will let you go out back and look. Don't expect me or your $10 to be here when you finish looking, though.

Noah Webster (October 16, 1758 – May 28, 1843) was an American lexicographer, textbook author, Bible translator, spelling reformer, writer, and editor.
he has been called the "Father of American Scholarship and Education."

His Blue-backed Speller books taught five generations of children in the United States how to spell and read, and in the U.S. his name became synonymous with "dictionary,"

especially the modern Merriam-Webster dictionary which was first published in 1828 as An American Dictionary of the English Language.
