answers in one place or another. This generally turns out to be a pipe
dream for each of us. Even if we find a collection that someone else
finished in the past, we all too often find mistakes that they did not
discover.<br />
<br />
Many of us hold out for the church records that will give the vital
records of when one is “borned- married- deceased” as these would
be very helpful. When we finally find the right church, then we
discover some of the problems with these records. In this country,
church records were not as important as in Europe when these records
were primarily the main source of records for the area. Few if any
civil records were kept intact. In this country, however, the civil
government was much
stronger and the records tend to be in their collection instead of the
church. Yet, the church records are still important.
<br />
<br />
In the past, our ancestors were not as closely associated with a church
as we are today. If a Methodist preacher came on the scene as the
pioneers moved West, then everyone in the community would go to hear
him. This did not mean they accepted the Methodist doctrine or even
beliefs, but they wanted to hear the word of God and this was their only
chance. In another month, a Baptist preacher came into their community
and everyone flocked to hear him. Not everyone accepted the Baptist
doctrine
or beliefs either. At this time in our history, the ministers were the
ones that kept down the records. Primarily the records of marriages and
deaths. They may not have it all together as many times a person died
weeks or even months before the funeral was held since they had to wait
on the preacher to come back around. Couples might even have a child
before the wedding as there was no one in the area to perform the
marriage ceremony. <br />
<br />
As churches began to get established, the records improved. For
example, in the mid-1800s the Baptist records are better than the
Methodist, but later into the early 1900s the roles were reversed. In
southwest Virginia and east Tennessee for the Methodist church, there
are only about two dozen churches that are over 200 years old. In most
of these, who ever kept the church records might have stored them under
their bed for many years of their life. When they died, those records
were passed
around the family for a time, but now no one knows what happened to
them. Many of the early Baptist minutes and records have suffered the
same fate.
<br />
<br />
When you read these early records when found, they offer a gleams into
the world of the times. It is not uncommon for them to state something
like “...Mary Jane, the daughter of Miss Ella Smith and John
Jones.” The ones I like are when a church dismissed a member for loud
talking in church or drunkenness. These two were the same in their
eyes. Many times, the individual will repent and they take them back at
the next meeting only to be ousted at the following one for the same
“sin”.
<br />
<br />
Are the church records worth the search - YES!! Sometimes you just
might find the answer to all your questions, or at least the answer to
one of them. They are very difficult to find because our ancestors did
not leave too many comments on where they attended or which records
might have been made available. But yes, go for them. You never know
what interesting piece of information you will find.
<br />
<br />
Happy Hunting!!

The four square-block area was donated to be used as a city cemetery in 1843 by Roswell Beebe and Senator Chester Ashley. It has become the final resting place of such a number of notable Arkansans that it has earned the nickname "The Westminister Abbey of Arkansas." Interred here are ten state governors, thirteen state Supreme Court justices, five Confederate Generals, twenty-one Little Rock mayors, several newspaper editors, military heroes, physicians and attorneys. </div>

Not sure where to begin your genealogy search? Follow this sure-fire checklist.
</div>
<h3>
1. Gather what you already know about your family.</h3>
Search your basement, attic and closets (and those of your family
members) and collect family records, old photos, letters, diaries,
photocopies from family Bibles, even newspaper clippings. E-mail
far-flung relatives to ask whether they have records that may be of help
for your genealogy quest.<br />
<h3>
2. Talk to your relatives.</h3>
Ask your parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles about their memories.
Don't ask just about facts and dates—get the stories of their growing up
and of the ancestors they remember. Try to phrase questions with "why,"
"how" and "what." <h3>
3. Put it on paper.</h3>
Write down what you know so you can decide what you don't know yet. Start with the five-generation "pedigree" chart. <h3>
4. Focus your search.</h3>
What are the blanks in your family tree? Don't try to fill them in all
at once—focus on someone from the most recent generation where your
chart is missing information. Try to answer that "mystery" first, then
work backward in time.
<h3>
5. Search the Internet.</h3>
The Internet is a terrific place to find leads and share information—but
don't expect to "find your whole family tree" online. You can search records on the <strong><a href="http://www.familysearch.org/" target="_blank">FamilySearch.org</a></strong> website for free. <strong><a href="http://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-3910067-11745137?url=http://www.ancestry.com" target="_blank">Ancestry.com</a></strong>
subscribers can search that site from home, or use it for free here at your local
library as we offer Ancestry Library Edition on our public computers. <br /><h3>
6. Explore specific Web sites.</h3>
Once you've searched for the last names in your family, try websites
specifically about your ethnic heritage or parts of the country where
your relatives lived. You may even find websites about your family
created by distant relatives researching the same family tree.
<h3>
7. Discover your local FamilySearch Center.</h3>
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has more than 4,000 <strong><a href="http://www.familysearch.org/" target="_blank">FamilySearch Centers</a></strong>
where anyone can tap the world's largest collection of genealogical
information.
Using your local center, you can borrow microfilm of records such as the
birth, marriage or death certificates of your ancestors. More than 2
million rolls of microfilmed records from all over the world are
available. Compare the information in these sources with what you
already know, fill in the blanks in your family tree, and look for clues
to more answers to the puzzles of your past.
<h3>
9. Organize your new information.</h3>
Enter your findings in family tree software programs or on paper charts
(make sure you note your sources). File photocopies and notes by family,
geography or source so you can refer to them again. Decide what you
want to focus on next.
<h3>
10. Plan your next step.</h3>
<div>
Once you've exhausted your family sources, the internet and the
FamilySearch Center, you may want to travel to places your ancestors
lived, to visit courthouses, churches, cemeteries and other places where
old records are kept. This is also a rewarding way to walk in the
footsteps of your ancestors and bring your heritage to life. You'll find
that the quest to discover where you came from is fun, as exciting as a
detective story, and never-ending.

As more and more genealogists and family
historians leverage technology for research, many are using “The Cloud”
whether they realize it or not. And then there are those who purposely
store their data in a personal cloud.
Doing so allows them to access their research from anywhere in the
world and on practically any type of computer or mobile device. </div>

describe the way a computer user accesses data stored somewhere other
than his own computer. Years ago, when computer systems were mapped out
using a flow chart, a cloud was the symbol for a remote server that
hosted data and services. For the most part, this server was provided by
another business or vendor and located off-site.<br />
<br />
If your tired of keeping your genealogy research data on multiple CDs, DVDs,
flash drives, hard drives and in different locations? Cloud computing –
the practice of storing data on a remote server – is a practical
solution for genealogists. <br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">In her fourth memoir,<i> Sundays with TJ</i>, author Janis F. Kearney attempts to answer the one question most asked of 107-year-old Thomas James "TJ" Kearney: What was the magical recipe to his longevity, his continued health and his passion for life? The author and daughter answers the question the only way she knows how: by telling TJ Kearney's life story. The writer deftly takes readers on an unforgettable journey as she chronicles the life and times of the centenarian whose life began just 40 years after slavery, in the atypically southern town of Lake Village, Arkansas. TJ's early childhood, she writes, was shaped by his early losses, and his fascination with steamboats, trains and the Mississippi River. Janis F. Kearney offers her readers glimpses of the many facets of an adoring son, a wanderer and roustabout, a cotton sharecropper, and a loving husband and father of 19 children. After all is said and done, Kearney asserts; the wise and witty centenarian lived an amazing life, and left with few regrets. The regrets, he said at 107; were the people he didn't meet, the places he never visited . . . if only he had more time. </span></span><br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">1. Genealogical forms </span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: small;">2. Three-ring binder(s) </span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">3. Tabbed dividers </span></span></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">4. Sheet Protectors </span></span></h3>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><u><b><span style="font-size: large;">Paper Records</span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Download and print paper forms off the Internet, or copy them from genealogy how-to books. (We have how-to-books here at the library.) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><i>Fill out a Family Tree Chart</i> to document the names of the ancestors from whom you directly descend, and for whom you will create a Family Group Sheet. This form will help you see what you have accomplished, and who you still need to search for. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><i>Fill out a Family Group Sheet</i> for each family member and his or her immediate family. Doing this from the beginning will help you connect family members and create complete and accurate records. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><i>Keep a Source Summary</i>. This is documentation of all the sources you have searched and what information you have found from each source. A separate source summary should be kept for each family tree line, so you can find information and references quickly. You may also choose to keep a Research Calendar, which is a similar record of every source you have searched and any information you have found pertaining to your ancestors. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><i>Track correspondence</i> relating to your genealogical research on a Correspondence Record. Use it to keep track of with whom you have corresponded, what you are writing about, and if you have received a reply or not. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><i>Utilize a Family Tree Research Extract sheet</i> when you are searching records or documents that can not be copied or scanned. This also works well for deeds, which are time consuming to reread. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><i>Compile all your forms in a three-ring binder</i> when you first begin your search. Organize them by name or location. Later you may add more binders, or graduate to file boxes or filing cabinets as your family history research accumulates. Consider indexing each binder to make record retrieval easier. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b>Tip</b><br /><br />Use archival-quality sheet protectors when adding original family documents or photographs to your family research binders. </span><br />

Carry a portable flash drive with you to save computer files on if you
have access, then print the documents and add them to your binder. Also
consider carrying a digital camera to photograph books and documents
that can not be photocopied, but always ask permission first.</span><br />

<div class="intro" data-module="article-intro" id="intelliTxt" itemprop="description">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
advent of computers and the Internet has made the hobby of genealogy,
or tracing one's ancestry, easier, faster and more organized. Computers
are wonderful--until they fail--so even if you store all your family
history on the computer, whether it is in a program you have purchased
or an online database you have subscribed to, always keep a paper
backup.

<div class="intro" data-module="article-intro" id="intelliTxt" itemprop="description">
<span style="font-size: large;">The
advent of computers and the Internet has made the hobby of genealogy,
or tracing one's ancestry, easier, faster and more organized. Computers
are wonderful--until they fail--so even if you store all your family
history on the computer, whether it is in a program you have purchased
or an online database you have subscribed to, always keep a paper
backup.

On numerous occasions I’ve found relatives living with older neighbors who had the same last name — and that neighbor inevitably turns out to be a parent, grandparent or uncle.<br />
<br />
Going page by page, you may find the in-laws or siblings nearby, too. This method has been especially helpful with ancestors who are heading up their own households by the time of the 1850 census.<br />
<br />
From 1790 through 1840, the U.S. census only listed the names of heads of household, so you may not be able to locate a head of household in 1850 as a child growing up 10 or 20 years before. But by looking back or forward a few pages in the 1850 census, you may find other relatives — including the parents of the head of household — living in the same area.

</span>
<strong></strong><br />
<br />
Native Americans played the same role as many other Americans who
entered into World War II. They enlisted, fought in battles, suffered
wounds, many were killed, some were captured, and some received medals.<br />
<br />
This manuscript—available at <a href="http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/indians-in-world-war-2.htm" target="_blank">AccessGenealogy.com</a>—provides
stories of these brave men and women who fought during World War II;
casualty lists, POWs and KIAs. It also takes a brief look at the
important Navajo code talkers role in the war. <br />

</span>
<strong><br /></strong>
In 1917 and 1918, approximately 24 million men living in the United
States completed a World War I draft registration card. These cards
represent about 98 percent of men under the age of 46. The total U.S.
population then was about 100 million so nearly 25 percent of the total
population is represented in these records. This database can be an
extremely useful resource because it covers a significant portion of the
U.S. male population in the early 20th century. <br />
<br />
If you had family in the United States at this time, you are likely
to find at least one relative’s information within this collection.
These records often contain significant genealogical information such as
exact date of birth, birthplace, citizenship status, and information on
the individual’s nearest relative. Access the cards at <a href="http://www.archives.gov/research/military/ww1/draft-registration/" target="_blank">Archives.gov</a>. <br />

It's a struggle to know where to start when trying to find Native American ancestors. We will be sharing ten places to begin your search over the next few days. <br />
<br />
<strong>1880 U.S. Census</strong><br />
<br />
In 1880, enumerator instructions directed census takers to include
Native Americans who were “not in tribal relations” and living among
white residents on the general population schedules. They were not to
record “Indians not taxed”—that is, Native Americans who were nomadic or
lived on government Indian reservations. These individuals were
enumerated in a separate census that year. This database contains images
of 1880 census schedules. <br />
<br />
We offer Ancestry Library Edition free for patrons to utilize here in the library. <br />
<br />
<strong>Indian Census Rolls, 1885-1940</strong><br />
<br />
In 1884, the U.S. Congress authorized an Indian census be taken
annually. In 1885, many of the tribes started taking it and continued to
do so until 1940. Not all tribes complied. These rolls record the name
of the Indian and other information, as well as deaths in previous
years—giving date of death.<br />
<br />
Indian censuses are important because these
contain both the Indian and given name of an individual. The later rolls
contain more pertinent genealogical data. <br />
<br />
Also available online free, but not indexed, most of the rolls done
after 1900 are in alphabetical order and were typewritten, making
searches easier. Visit <a href="http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/free-us-indian-census-rolls.htm" target="_blank">AccessGenealogy.com</a> to find them. <br />

<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, helvetica; font-size: small;">Perhaps you've noticed that some branches of your family live longer
then others. Why the
difference? What caused their deaths? Are there common health characteristics? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, helvetica; font-size: small;">Family health history, also known as medical genealogy, is getting more
interest from heritage researchers. Many of the factors that determine our
health (or illnesses) today were inherited from our ancestors. Experts state
that about 3000 of the 10,000 known diseases have genetic links, and that many
diseases "run in families," including colon cancer, heart disease, alcoholism and
high blood pressure. Creating a family health history can be a useful tool to
aid
you and your medical care provider in interpreting patterns of health, illness
and genetic traits for you and your descendants. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, geneva, helvetica; font-size: small;">
Getting started is just like any heritage research project - begin with what
you know. Record the medical and health facts for yourself, then go back a
generation at a time. The items to record can include: <br />
<ul>
<li>Birth and death dates if deceased, along with cause. </li>
<li>Ethnic background, as some genetic diseases occur in particular ethnic
groups. </li>
<li>Major illnesses such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. </li>
<li>General patterns of ill health, like chronic sore throats. </li>
<li>Birth defects</li>
<li>Allergies, both environmental and drug related. </li>
<li>Emotional or behavioral problems, such as depression, heavy drinking,
anxiety, etc. </li>
<li>Chronic health problems like asthma or high blood pressure. </li>
<li>Vision and hearing problems. </li>
<li>General health routines, like tobacco use and diet. </li>
</ul>
Be sure to note when conditions occur. For example, did Grandma have diabetes
as a child, or did it develop later in her adult life? Please also remember to
respect everyone's privacy as you go about gathering this information. The
information is for you, your medical professional, and your descendant's use.
Don't publish this as part of your Internet web page, for example.<br />
<br />
Sources for information can include your medical records and the
recollections of you and your living relatives. But for deceased ancestors, you
can try: <br />
<ul>
<li>Death certificates - will list cause of death, but obituaries may also yield
information. </li>
<li>Pension documents</li>
<li>Social Security Applications</li>
<li>Family bibles, diaries, old correspondence and the like</li>
<li>Military records </li>
</ul>
To organize your data, you can enter it in your genealogy software program as
written text or utilize a program to create a medical genogram. A
genogram is a schematic diagram of family relationships and diseases, which is
used by your doctor to determine if there is a risk of inherited illnesses,
which could lead to early detection and prevention.<br />
<br />
Who knows, maybe the information you find today will save a life tomorrow.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Digital copies play an important preservation role as surrogates
protecting fragile and valuable originals from handling while presenting
their content to a vastly increased audience. A digital version may
someday be the only record of an original object that deteriorates or is
destroyed. But digitization is not preservation – it is simply a means
of copying original materials. In creating a digital copy, the
institution creates a new resource that will itself require
preservation. Unlike microfilm and other preservation media whose
longevity is assured relatively easily by proper storage, digital
resources face many questions about how their continued existence,
accuracy, and authenticity can be assured. </div>

The census enumerator heard it.<br />
The enumerator thought about it.<br />
The enumerator wrote it down in his notes.<br />
The enumerator put it in his actual census report.<br />
It was microfilmed.<br />
It was digitized.<br />
<br />
And maybe somewhere in there it was transcribed or indexed, in which case it was read. <br />
<br />
At any (or every) point in the process there could have been a
misunderstanding. Multiple misunderstandings compound errors which easily resulted
in entries that are a far cry from what was said by your ancestor.

</h3>
<div class="post-header">
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Usually a land patent is that legal document that transfers ownership in
real property from a governmental agency to an individual. A warrant is
a document that indicates a person has qualified for (or purchased) a
specific amount of land. The warrant does not always indicate the
precise location of the land and the warrant does not usually give title
to any specific piece of real estate. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
The patent does that. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to share a letter I received recently. Yes, I'm bragging because I'm very proud of this database which has records from the 1800s to current. However, I would never take full credit for this project because there were so many staff and volunteers who's efforts made the completion of this project possible. Sylvia Moore, Reference/IT Assistant Manager, worked very hard on this project in every aspect. There were staff from the branch libraries who entered data. We hired college students who gleaned names from microfilm. We are also very grateful for the help from volunteers like Margaret and Johnny Whitehead. This project would never have gotten completed without everyone's efforts. </span></div>

<br />
Sometimes you need an explanation of military terms.<br />
<br />
A company was a Civil War military unit that was supposed to have 100 men, but usually had only about 50. A company was commanded by a captain and some lieutenants. Several companies together made up a battalion, and several battalions made up a regiment, commanded by a colonel. A Civil War Regiment was supposed to have about 1,000 men, but usually had less than half that.<br />
<br />
Larger units were divisions, corps (pronounced "core"), and armies. In the Civil War, the soldiers elected their officers from lieutenants through colonel.<br />
<br />
Ordnance is any material of war, usually ammunition. The ordnance train was most often a wagon train of supplies.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="thumbimage" height="200" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f1/Claude_Etienne_Minie.jpg/220px-Claude_Etienne_Minie.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="158" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Claude Etienne Minié (1804-1879)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
A minie ball was the bullet used in muzzle-loading rifles. Named for its French inventor "Claude Etienne Minié", it had a conical base that made the lead bullet expand when it was fired. It was often 58 caliber -- or about 1/2" wide. (It is pronounced like "Minnie" Mouse.) <br />

A flank is the side of a line of soldiers, where the soldiers' firepower is the weakest. To "outflank" is to attack on the side.<br />

Genealogists love records. But adoptions are one of those situations
that present problems. Throughout much of American history adoptions
were "informal" with couples simply taking the child in with no
"paperwork." And when there was legal paperwork, those records are often
closed.<br />
<br />
But don't be surprised if there's no "documentation" to provide evidence
of an adoption. Many before the World War I era fall into the category
of "unofficial."
