Supplements to Last Week’s Newsletter |
|
|
| February 09, 1999 |
- Supplements to Last Week’s Newsletter Two articles in last week’s newsletter need a bit more information: When writing about Generations Grande Suite, I said, "Sierra is now part of Cendant." In fact, Sierra was formerly part of Cendant Software; but, as of January 12, Sierra is now a part of Havas Interactive. Havas is a French publishing company that is expanding into the multimedia realm. Next, in writing about GenRef’s Pennsylvania Archives CD-ROMs, I described the latest records they are producing on CD-ROM. The Pennsylvania Archives listed last week are all on one CD-ROM disk. That one disk is only part of the company’s offerings. Jana Lillie of GenRef, Inc. wrote to me and added the following: "The items you listed were from the 5th Series only. Initially we're planning to release the 8-volume 5th Series on one CD, the 15-volume 6th Series on one CD, and the 30-volume 3rd Series on one CD. These are those gauged of most value to genealogists. The 6th Series contains military records from the Revolutionary War through the War of 1812 and Mexican War, while the 3rd Series contains militia rolls, tax lists and land warrantees." - DAR Library Catalog Is Now Online The card catalog of the huge genealogy library of the Daughters of the American Revolution is now available online. This is a great resource. Quoting from the information on the DAR Library’s Web page: The Library is one of the nation’s premier genealogical research centers and was recently (1998) ranked the third most important of national institutions based on the uniqueness of sources in a listing by publisher Heritage Quest. In late 1998 the Library’s book collection numbers some 150,000 volumes, the cataloging records for which constitute this catalog. Approximately 5,000 new titles enter the Library in any given year. Many thousands of volumes of genealogical compilations, record abstracts and other materials are available only at the DAR Library. DAR members and the public have contributed these sources, building a collection of great research depth covering all periods of American history. The period of the American Revolution is naturally a major focal point, but the colonial era and the nineteenth century receive detailed coverage as well. Through the efforts of local DAR members and chapters nationwide, approximately 15,000 volumes of Genealogical Records Committee Reports have entered the Library and constitute a unique source for family histories, cemetery record transcriptions, and Bible records. The Library is one of several departments at DAR National Headquarters in downtown Washington which contains genealogical research material. Researchers wishing to become more familiar with the large holdings of the Library and the other offices should consult the DAR’s 1997 publication "American Genealogical Research at the DAR, Washington, D.C." by Eric G. Grundset and Steven B. Rhodes. This is the first comprehensive guide to DAR collections designed to answer questions by both DAR members and general researchers. The microform holdings of the Library’s Seimes Microfilm Center, numbering some 53,000 items, provide a major supplement to printed materials in the Library proper. The focus of the Center’s collection is on Revolutionary War records of the federal and state governments, census records, and major indexes of records from eastern states. The cataloging records for these materials also appear in this catalog. In 1982, 1986 and 1992 the DAR Library published printed listings of its holdings entitled DAR Library Catalog (3 volumes). This on-line catalog supersedes the printed set and includes much additional information. The old printed set, however, is still valid because it represents a large portion of the Library’s book holdings and because the DAR Library does not weed its collection. Since 1992, the Library has added another 30,000 titles, which are not listed in the printed catalogs. To test the online search, I entered my last name and clicked on FIND. The catalog quickly displayed the first 100 references. However, only the first 11 references were for "Eastman." That was followed by references for Eastmont, Easton, Eastport, Eaton and more. It looks like the search simply shows the name that you enter and then all listings after that. The first entry turned out to be a card catalog of a book written by Charles R. Eastman about a family of a different name: Title: Scoville family records / comp. by Charles R. Eastman. With this reference in hand, my next step might be to visit the library myself or pay to have someone look for me. Again, quoting from the library’s Web page: "The DAR Library does not loan or sell any of the books listed in its catalog, nor will the Library make photocopy reproductions of entire books. The Library is strictly a reference facility. All researchers are welcome to visit. Persons who cannot visit the Library may wish to contact the DAR Library Research Service at the above address for assistance." Even though you cannot order photocopies from the books, this still is a great resource. I suspect this website will become very popular.

Here is the announcement from White Pine Pictures that describes the programs: "A SCATTERING OF SEEDS - The Creation of Canada" is a series of 13 documentary films exploring the dreams, daring and determination of Canada's first immigrants. It is a journey into the hopes and triumphs of those who built a nation, interpreted by Canada's best independent documentary filmmakers. The series premiered on History Television Wednesday, January 14th, 10:30 PM Eastern Time, with a repeat broadcast Saturday, January 17th at 2:00 PM. The series continues every Wednesday and Saturday for 13 consecutive weeks on History Television. It will premiere in the French language on RDI, Saturday, April 4. "A Scattering of Seeds" draws on a rich archive of home movies, photographs, letters home, diaries and oral history. These are personal portraits celebrating the diversity of the first families who arrived during Canada's formative years of nation building. From the early French, Ukrainian and Irish settlers to the more recent Chinese, Japanese and Sikh immigrants, this kaleidoscope of images and experiences is unparalleled in Canadian filmmaking. By personalizing the stories of immigrants, "A Scattering of Seeds" makes the stranger immediately familiar and the beginnings of this country, a shared experience. It is Canadian history both heroic and haunting, set at the intersection of dreams and disappointment. There is conflict, oppression and the occasional sinking of hearts, yet the resolve and character of these immigrants is what builds a nation and allows it to grow. At the root of each story is the instinct to contribute something, to leave something, to mark the efforts of a life. Who we were before we became who we are is our lasting legacy and our greatest teacher. In these divisive times it is the hope of our ancestors and their gift of compromise that can overcome cynicism. "A Scattering of Seeds" demonstrates a profound understanding of the sense of community that continues to shape a country still in transition. This series is produced by White Pine Pictures, an independent production company, headed by producer PETER RAYMONT and co-producer/story editor, LINDALEE TRACEY. The production supervisor and co-producer is MARIA PIMENTEL and the production manager is ANDRE CZERNOHORSKY. For more information about the series, including a description of each episode, look at: http://www.generation.net/~seeds/ GEDitCOM is a new customizable genealogy application for the Macintosh written by John A. Nairn. It allows the user to view and edit GEDCOM files. I was going to describe the program until I found the following explanation that Mr. Nairn had already written: GEDitCOM Genealogy Software Philosophy There are many commercially available genealogy programs already available. All serious programs also support the GEDCOM standard by allowing users to input data from GEDCOM files or export data to GEDCOM files. These programs, however, do not normally use GEDCOM as their internal standard. Thus most of them do not allow you to tap all the features of GEDCOM and most cause translation errors when inputting GEDCOM data (where translation error means input data is lost, force-fit into the data fields of the current program, or shuffled to generic note fields). In contrast, GEDitCOM uses GEDCOM as its internal standard; GEDCOM files are not translated, they are simply read into memory and interpreted. No information is ever lost. GEDitCOM is a registered GEDCOM product. The ability of GEDitCOM to tap all the features of GEDCOM, including those that allow extensive documentation or your research with notes and source citations, means GEDitCOM is ideal for anyone interested in serious genealogical research. GEDitCOM, however, is also very intuitive and easy to use. Thus GEDitCOM can be used by anyone interested in genealogy regardless of how seriously they approach their research. In describing the program, Mr. Nairn also wrote: GEDitCOM is a customizable genealogical application for viewing and editing GEDCOM files. Customization is provided by the user writing a series of templates. These templates can be written and edited directly within GEDitCOM. In brief, a template gives instructions on how to format a particular type of GEDCOM record or GEDCOM structure. A complete set of templates that provides a full user interface which is known as a GEDitCOM Format. Furthermore, you are not limited to one GEDitCOM Format; you can switch formats at will and thus edit, display, and print the same genealogical data in a variety of ways. GEDitCOM comes with a default format called the Default GEDitCOM Format. Anyone can use this format for immediate and virtually complete access to all of GEDCOM's features. More advanced users will modify this format set or write their own format set. GEDitCOM for the PowerMac costs $50.00 U.S. funds. You can first download a free demo version online. The free demo will allow you to view GEDCOM files but will not make any changes to them. If you wish, you can register online by entering your credit card information into a secure browser form. Soon after you register GEDitCOM, you will receive an e-mail that contains an unlocking code, which allows you to permanently unlock your copy of GEDitCOM, adding full functionality. For more information, or to obtain the GEDitCOM Viewer/Demo, look at: http://www.xmission.com/~geditcom/ The following announcement is from GENTECH, Inc.: Celebrating the expanding influence of the power of technology on the practice of genealogy, GENTECH, Inc. proudly announces a new award, the GENTECH Scholarship. Full-time students at accredited universities within 100 miles of upcoming GENTECH conferences are invited to apply for a $500 independent study grant. The grants will fund an innovative project that demonstrates a fusion of technology and genealogy. The first such grant will be awarded next January at GENTECH 2000 in San Diego, California. The selected GENTECH Scholar will present a summary of the project at the Tech Sessions of the GENTECH 2001 conference in Dallas, Texas, at which time a further cash award will be made. For information and details, contact Beau Sharbrough, President, GENTECH, Inc. at beau@connect.net - The Learning Company’s Genealogy Community Advisory The Learning Company has been acquiring other companies, including several that produce genealogy software or CD-ROM data disks. The brands purchased include Banner Blue, Broderbund, Mindscape, Palladium Interactive and Parsons Technologies. Now The Learning Company itself is being acquired by Mattel, the well-known toy manufacturer. This has caused many genealogists to speculate about the future of the products they have or plan to acquire. The Learning Company obviously has heard these concerns, so they have issued the following advisory: Genealogy Community Advisory Over the past few years, there have been a number of acquisitions of genealogy software products and developers. Because The Learning Company now owns four of the leading genealogy titles, we’ve heard concerns that we may discontinue development of one or more of the programs. That is not true. We are now in a position to tailor each of our products to a unique segment of genealogy enthusiasts, providing functionality that is specific to each segment. Many of you know the "Banner Blue" division of The Learning Company (we were the original developers of Family Tree Maker). Because we have the most expertise in the genealogy software category, we will be managing all of The Learning Company’s genealogy products. We intend to maintain separate product teams for each brand, to enable us to preserve and emphasize the unique traits of each product. The following page contains an overview of the strength of each of our products, and the direction we intend to focus future development. In addition to our four software programs, we are also well known for our data CDs and websites. We will continue full-scale efforts to grow our Family Archive CD line by publishing useful genealogy data. We are committed to making valuable online resources available to genealogists at the websites for each of our products, as well at www.GenealogyLibrary.com. Currently, The Learning Company and Mattel have agreed to merge. While that is not yet final, we believe that the history and success of the "Banner Blue" organization will lead Mattel to leave our group on its current track without major changes to our structure or business. The acquisition is expected to be finalized by April 1999, and as the two companies are integrated, we will continue to communicate with you about any changes. We at The Learning Company are committed to developing the best and most useful genealogy software, CDs, and websites available. Through the years, our "Banner Blue" division has demonstrated our commitment to the genealogy community by listening and responding to your enhancement requests and product suggestions. We are excited to have such a broad portfolio of products to offer to all genealogists, whether they are just beginning to trace their roots or are established professionals. We will continue to encourage the efforts of genealogists through support of valuable national organizations such as Rootsweb, National Genealogical Society, Federation of Genealogical Societies, and others. We will also continue to offer support to smaller groups through regional grant programs, and to aspiring professional genealogists through our scholarship program. Our commitment to the pursuit of genealogy stands strong. - Posting of Immigration Records Will Boost Genealogy on the Net The New York Times Syndicate has an interesting story about a project to post Ellis Island immigration records on the Internet. The article says that this "$15 million project will revolutionize genealogical research for many of the more than 113 million Americans who pursue their family histories." The full article may be found at: Click here for article: - Genealogist Purchases Valuable Records in an Online Auction Keep an eye on eBay and the other online auctions that are so popular nowadays. You never know what you might discover. Alice Zetterstrom, a woman with a passion for tracing family trees in her spare time, submitted the successful $234 bid to the eBay online auction service for some valuable handwritten records. The ledger of "Paupers Admitted to the Poor House of Saratoga County (New York) from November 1893 to October 1935" was described for prospective eBay bidders as a list of names of poorhouse residents, including their date of admission, their previous town of residence and by whose order they were admitted. Other information can include national origin, conditions such as blindness or old age, and other descriptive information such as "intemperance, vagrancy, tramp, etc." Zetterstrom and County Historian Karen Campola said that if the poorhouse volume ever was in Saratoga County custody, that was long ago. It is possible that the book was stolen, but it also may have simply failed to find its way into its proper place at the county archives, they said. The seller declined to discuss just how he located the book, but he said he is aware of at least one more Saratoga County volume. He said the second book is of similar age and lists children at a local insane asylum. The full story is available at: http://www.timesunion.com/news/story.asp?storyKey=5615&newsdate=2/1/99 Your employer may list you as dead in the U.S. tax records. Thousands of U.S. workers have recently opened their W-2 tax forms to learn that they are now listed as deceased. In Dallas, Texas about 13,000 city employees with pension plans received W-2s -- the forms that tell workers how much they have paid in various payroll deductions -- with the "deceased" box checked. The same problem affected some 350 municipal employees in Saratoga Springs, New York, and the Chicago Tribune reported similar snags in New Mexico and Oklahoma. The problem was caused by old computer software, which was used with a new W-2 form that put the "deceased" box where the "pension" box used to be. Dallas officials discounted the problem as "nothing more than a printing error" since the Internal Revenue Service takes its tax information from correct electronic data filed by the city. There were no plans in Dallas to reissue W-2s. The IRS had no information on the national number of errors or whether the forms would have to be reissued. The agency did confirm that it relies on computerized data when processing income tax returns and that the W-2s are merely a backup and for its files.
