Cemeteries Photographed by - Allen Wheatley
I started photographing just my relatives in their cemeteries but found I needed to go back often to get newly found cousins. So I switched to getting complete cemeteries. Now I rarely go to a cemetery because of relatives therein, I just enjoy getting all the pictures and sharing with you. Please copy any for your personal records but since you do not own them, please note that they came from http://teafor2.com if you republish them.

Canadian grandmothers

CNW Group | ANCESTRY.CA | Do you know your grandmother's maiden name? One in four Canadians have no idea, according to Ancestry.ca survey:
"Canadians lack awareness about their family history, but want to learn more
TORONTO, Nov. 28 /CNW/ - Ancestry.ca,

Canada's largest online resource for family history, revealed the results of a national genealogy survey involving more than 1,000 respondents. The results show that a staggering 39 per cent of Canadians cannot trace their roots back more than 100 years, and 20 per cent don't know where their families came from before moving to Canada.

The survey, conducted by MarketTools, also reveals that a surprising 24 per cent of Canadians don't know the maiden name of any of their grandmothers and 22 per cent have no idea what any of their grandfathers did for a living.
'The survey results point to the fact that many Canadians are in the dark when it comes to essential questions about their past. Many people have come to this country for a new beginning, but they have left a lot of information behind, information that can go a long way in teaching them about who they are,' says Megan Smolenyak, chief family historian, Ancestry.ca."

British Historic phonebooks

Historic phonebooks go online: "British phonebooks stretching back to the last century are going online to help people learn more about their ancestors. More than 1,780 BT phonebooks dating to 1880 have been digitised by ancestry.co.uk. The website says the project, which took more than two years to complete, will allow family researchers to trace where their ancestors lived at a given time and place. More than 280 million names and numbers are featured on the database, including one or two famous ones. Notable Britons having their phone numbers and address revealed include former prime ministers David Lloyd George and Harold Macmillan, suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst and novelist Evelyn Waugh. Simon Harper, managing director of ancestry.co.uk, said that the project provided 'solid evidence' of where people's ancestors may have lived. 'It was an enormous undertaking to scan and index the 1,780 phone books, however we believe that this resource will be of great interest and use to people around the world,' he explained."

This collection contains British phone books published between 1880, the year after the public telephone service was introduced to the UK, and 1984, from the historic phone book collection held by BT Archives. The database currently contains 1780 phone books and provides near full county coverage for England as well as containing substantial records for Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.

About Phone Books:

The largest section of the phone book, and generally the most significant for family historians, is the alphabetical listings or directory. The alphabetical listings typically contain the following details:

• Surname of person (usually the head of household) or name of business
  
  
• Address
  
  
• Exchange (up to 1968)
  
  
• Telephone Number
  
  

Phone books also contain an introduction of useful local and operational information. Located at the front of the book these pages may contain lists of abbreviations used, contact information for important government agencies, instructions on how to make long distance calls, explanations of the exchanges and their coverage, or other necessary information in order to use the phone book and telephone equipment. The introduction is not searchable and can only be seen by using the browse function.

Advertisements for local businesses occasionally appear at the tops and bottoms of the alphabetical listings pages, as well as on full separate pages designated as such. Advertisements cannot be searched independently but can be seen by selecting the image of the phone book following searching for a name in close alphabetical proximity or by using the browse function.

Why use Phone Books?

Phone books are very useful for pinpointing individuals in a particular place and time. While censuses were only conducted once every ten years, phone books were published around every one to two years, creating in essence, an almost year by year record of individuals' geographic locations and movements. This makes it possible to locate many individuals in between census years and especially to find family members during years in which censuses are not currently available to the public. For reference, the latest viewable UK census is 1901, and will remain so until early 2012 when the 1911 census can be released.

Phone books are also very telling of an individual's economic and social status since telephone ownership is a prerequisite to an individual's inclusion within this collection. Early subscribers to the telephone service were typically large businesses or the well-to-do. Telephone ownership gradually increased, reflected by a corresponding growth in the size and number of phone books, and from the second quarter of the twentieth century became more commonly adopted by domestic subscribers.

While the alphabetical listings in the phone book will likely be of most interest to researchers, if your ancestor owned a business the advertisement section might also be of interest. There you may learn the location of and type of goods and services sold or offered by the business. This may lead you to additional research in occupational records.

BT actively supports the preservation of Britain's communications heritage. BT has published its commitment in its Heritage Policy (see www.bt.com/archives) and its Connected Earth initiative enables the exploration of communications past, present and future both online (at www.connected-earth.com) and via a network of partner museums around the UK.

UK Burials

Family Tree, Family History, Find Your Past, UK | Findmypast.com: "With millions of family history records online, Find My Past makes it easy to research your UK ancestry and create your family tree. Search census records and trace births, marriages and deaths to bring your family history to life."

National Burial Index records

Search the National Burial Index for England and Wales records for thousands of individuals as far back as 1538, drawn from Parish records, Catholic, Jewish and Non-Conformist registers.

it pre-dates the civil registration of deaths in England and Wales, which only came into effect on 1 July 1837, therefore enabling family history enthusiasts to delve even further back into their ancestors' pasts.

The details of over 10 million burials are contained in the database. It provides the full name, date of burial, age at death, (when given in the original source), name of the county, parish and the church or chapel where the burial took place.

The burial data brings together in one easy-to-search central place the disparate records from local parishes, which members of local family history societies have been compiling since 1994, under the guidance and encouragement of the Federation of Family History Societies (FFHS). It includes records from parish registers, non-conformist registers, Roman Catholic, Jewish and other registers as well as cemetery and cremation records. It will complement the Latter Day Saints' International Genealogical Index (IGI), which contains mainly baptisms and marriages.

Thanks to the cross-database search facility at findmypast.com, you will be able to search for your ancestor by surname across all the records on the site without needing to know where in the country they came from.

Previously some of these records were made available to the public by the Federation on CD ROM and at its own pay per view website www.familyhistoryonline.net but following a landmark agreement between the Federation and findmypast.com in September this year, burial records can now be searched online alongside findmypast.com's existing collection of over 550 million records. The records at www.familyhistoryonline.net will be transferred to the findmypast.com website in phases over the next few months.

A data update took place at 1 am 26th October. This added burial records for Woolwich and West Middlesex along with parish apprentices for Somerset and Dorset and other updates. About 108,000 records were added.

The NBI data records can be accessed as part of an Explorer subscription package or with pay-per-view units.

FFHS - Home Page: "The Federation of family History Societies (FFHS) is an educational charity in UK which exists to represent, advise and support its membership of family history societies and other genealogical organisations world-wide. Our principal aims are: to co-ordinate and assist the work of societies or other bodies interested in family history, genealogy and heraldry; to foster mutual co-operation and collaborative projects to help researches; and to represent the interests of our members, and family historians generally, especially in the preservation and availability of archival documents."

FFHS - Contacting our members

he Federation of Family History Societies has over 200 member societies, all helping their own members to research their ancestors in England, Wales and Ireland (Scotland has its own Scottish Association of Family History Societies).

The Federation strongly advises you to join the societies covering the areas of your research. Many societies issue a quarterly magazine and you will be able to benefit from the services they only offer to their members. If you join your local society, even if you are not researching the area, you will be able to attend meetings and gain from the experience of the other members.

This Directory will help you to contact any of our member societies by e-mail or by post. Most societies have an e-mail address but if contacting them by post please remember to enclose a S.A.E. (or two International Reply Coupons if overseas). Many societies have more detailed contact information on their website and also give details of services they provide. If in difficulty, please contact our Administrator: Maggie Loughran, FFHS Administrator, PO Box 2425, COVENTRY CV5 6YX or, by e-mail at admin@ffhs.co.uk

There are separate pages for the country or area which a society represents, and these are sub-divided where appropriate by county, state or province. This will make it easier for you to identify a society that specialises in an area you wish to research.

FFHS - Projects
have included:

1881 Census Project

In conjunction with the Genealogical Society of Utah and The National Archives.

The entire database of 30+ million names was published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) as a set of 25 CD-ROMs for the whole of Great Britain. These can be ordered via FamilySearch™ Online Distribution Centers. However, it can be accessed free on the FFHS website www.familyhistoryonline.net or the LDS website www.familysearch.org

Currently, member societies are encouraged to participate or continue with the following projects:

• National Burial Index on a county and national basis by submitting new and checked records for inclusion in the Third Edition. This is an ongoing project, for which member societies would appreciate donations of data or volunteers to assist with recording further records. (See listing of member societies)
• Monumental Inscriptions transcription for all church & chapel yards, and public cemeteries on a county basis - now in its 30th year!
• National Strays Index preparations are well underway for the digital images to go live on FamilyHistoryOnline. Watch out for pages on this site for further details of this exciting new indexing project
• National Inventory of War Memorials (in conjunction with the Imperial War Museum) on a county basis. FFHS has donated a massive amount of information towards the 53,000 total of memorials (including personal names). Work is still in progress to record the remaining memorials and, where appropriate, to update and verify the existing information. See http://www.ukniwm.org.uk/server/show
• Marriage Indexes on a county basis, particularly for the period 1754-1837
• Specialist Listings such as settlement and removal records, trades and occupations, school admission books, Wills. (See FamilyHistoryOnline)

Dove Project

Just because it's digital doesn't mean it's safe - Telegraph: "The real reason it is being done, of course, is for the great ID card project. A few weeks ago, it was announced that the General Register Office is to be transferred to the Identity and Passport Agency from April so that the database can be used to double-check identity documents submitted with passport applications. Dead or alive, we are all becoming part of a giant interconnecting database. . . .

The service is operated by the Office for National Statistics, which has a statutory obligation to maintain a public accessible index to births, marriages and deaths. The ONS maintains this duty has been fulfilled by providing existing online images and the microfiche indexes. When the Dove project began, it was due to be completed by next year, but this has now been put back by at least 12 months. The earliest it will be ready is mid-2009.

The contract for the project was won by Siemens Business Services, which outsourced the work to India, where the records are being inputted. Information on all of us that would be valuable to ID thieves is being sent abroad, which is a bit alarming when you consider the loss of the child benefit records held on just two CDs."

tourism

If Only every American thought he or she was related to Elvis. Thanks to the discovery a few years back that the legendary rocker's forebears came from Lonmay, hundreds of...:
"Now delegates at a major conference in Aberdeen today were to discuss how the surge of interest in exploring family trees could prove a rich magnet for visitors to the North-east.

Ancestral tourism is already beginning to take off. But experts believe that with a concerted effort to encourage and develop it, the genealogy industry could end up generating millions of pounds for the area's economy.

One of the key speakers at today's Marcliffe at Pitfodels conference was to be ancestral tourism consultant Cameron Taylor, a 49-year-old Aberdeen University history graduate now based in Forres.
He said: 'Researching genealogy and family history is probably now the most popular hobby in the world and certainly the fastest growing. 'The internet and e-mail have made a huge difference to accessing details about ancestors. And, because the Scots have historically been such excellent record-keepers, the documents we have are among the best and most detailed in the world.
'Combine that with the fact there are between 28 to 100 million people of Scots descent in the world today and you can see the huge potential for ancestral tourism.'"

Abercarn

Monmouthshire: Abercarn: Johns Newport Directory 1930:

"Abercarn is an important and flourishing parish and Urban District, 10 miles northwest from Newport on the Western Valleys branch of the G.W. railway about mid-way between Newport and Ebbw Vale, and is intercepted by the river Ebbw, that part on the western side being known as the West End. It is in the Abertillery division of the county, hundred of Wentloog, petty sessional division of Bedwellty, county court district of Newport, rural deanery of Bassalleg, archdeaconry of Newport and diocese of Monmouth. At the Prince of Wales Colliery a terrible explosion occurred on September 11th, 1878, in which no less than 268 lives were lost."

ON-LINE GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH ENGINE FOR FREE GENEALOGY IN WALES:

"the OGRE project provides free genealogy research material on-line.

The OGRE has grown out of a need to see an accessible, easy to use genealogy resource to catalogue gravestone monumental inscriptions and memorials in Wales, UK. This project involves photographing all headstones prior to 1930 in every graveyard in South Wales (currently working in Monmouthshire and Glamorgan). It is free to all researchers, although some of the data sets are now available for sale to help with the running costs of the site. You can find these items on the Parish Chest, or on my Lulu store for immediate download. This site also provides parish registers and records of births deaths and marriages and the 1873 Returns of Owners of Land 1873 for Wales, Ireland and Scotland."

Bristol Workhouse Stapleton

from my email:-

I recently obtained the death certificate of my great grandfather Henry Ford who died in 1902 at the Bristol Workhouse, Stapleton. I noted that his cause of death was certified by Robert H Norgate and ‘Googled’ his name. I came across your tree.

The reason I am writing, from Australia, is to ask if you know much about Bristol Workhouse in 1902. My great grandfather, a french polisher, appears on the 1901, with his wife Christiana and their family, living at 2 Avon Park Avonvale Road. I am curious why he died in the workhouse in 1902. I’m not sure if he’d done something wrong, or was in fact ill. Do you know by any chance what the workhouse was used for in 1920?

Thank you for your time.

Most of my writing about genealogy is in response to enquiries on usenet, rootsweb and other notices or lists. I prefer group work because our collective knowledge is greater than my own.
