This blog will follow my explorations around the family rosebush, thorns, buds, flowers, bugs and all, particularly in England and Australia with side trips to Scotland, Wales and Ireland.Rosemaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07230436754902585388noreply@blogger.comBlogger37125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412084306826988110.post-76260854433830768562013-03-30T14:47:00.000-05:002013-03-30T14:47:05.047-05:00 Surname Saturday - FREEDMAN or FREEMAN<div style="text-align: left;">

</div>
I've had a request for an example of the reports obtained from AncestryDNA. These images are what you can expect after Ancestry has processed your autosomal DNA.<br />
<br />
My Genetic Ethnicity is shown at the top of the results.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<br />
I appear to be 48% Scandinavian, 41% British Isles and 11% Southern European. Considering that the ethnicity results are from hundreds of years ago and the Vikings settled the north and east of the British Isles while the Romans had garrisons up and down the British Isles I don't find this very surprising. The little blue blobs in the British Isles are where my direct lines of ancestors were born.<br />
<br />
There are 2 options for viewing the list of matching member trees, by relationship and by when the results were added to the list.<br />

Both displays are a list of people who have a possible match to my autosomal DNA. I've never received a match closer than 4th cousin because the database at this point in time contains only people in North America. Perhaps I'll do better in the future.<br />
The gold star tells me that these member trees had someone with a surname that is in my direct line of ancestors. Those without a gold star are matches but if there is someone in the tree of interest to me they aren't a surname match. I've reviewed all my matches and feel comfortable ignoring these trees for now.<br />
<br />
The next step is to review the matches. For my examples here I've chosen a tree with 2 surname matches, Dickerson and Parker. Dickerson is a surname on my mother's line and Parker on my father's line.<br />

I have a lot of work to do to make any sense of these results. I'm going to concentrate on matches that have birth locations in Norfolk and Staffordshire in England and also Australia. The raw data is now available and I plan to use some of the more advanced tools available on other sites to investigate my genetic genealogy.<br />
<br />
Ancestry has said they have some better analysis tools in the works but nothing concrete has been announced.<br />

I've been making an effort to review at least a page or two of matches every day. It's a tedious process and I'm looking forward to when Ancestry provides us with better data management tools.<br />
<br />
<u>Discards</u> - these are any matches that have a private tree, have no tree attached to the DNA results, or have a minimal tree with less than about a dozen people.<br />
<br />
<u>Stars</u> - these are matches with a primary name I'm looking for or one of the places I'm interested in. The places this first pass are Norfolk and Staffordshire in England, and Australia. I should have looked for more but didn't realise this when I started.<br />
<br />
<u>No Stars</u> - these are matches without any of my primary names and none of the places in my search.<br />
<br />
Primary Names Not Yet Found - <b>Beecroft, Cockle, Ettridge, Fokard, Tissott</b><br />
Names with 1-10 matches - <b>Davy, Freedman, Brothers, Tomson</b><br />
Names with 10-25 matches - <b>Fielding, Hewitt, Gooch, Sutherland, Reeder, Casey</b><br />
Names with 25-50 matches - <b>Barnard, Bull, Lindsay, Dickerson, Norton, Cobb, Hardy</b><br />
Names with 50-100 matches - <b>Williamson</b><br />
Greater than 100 matches - <b>Wells, Bailey, Parker, Baker, Walker, Wright, Thompson, Taylor</b><br />
<br />
Status of my matches as of 15 March 2013.<br />
Matches Reviewed: 2900<br />

NOTE: If you do not have a person's name for your "roulette number"
then "spin" the wheel again - pick a great-grandmother, a grandfather, a
parent, a favorite aunt or cousin, yourself, or even your children!</span></span></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1) I chose my great grandfather James Thompson Reeder who was baptised on the 27th September 1835 at Great Ellingham, Norfolk. My roulette number is 18.35, rounded down to 18.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">2) Number 18 on my ancestor name list is Charles Daniel Sutherland one of my 2nd great grandfathers.</span></span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Charles Daniel Sutherland was born on the 25th September and baptised on the 9th October 1803 at St Leonard Shoreditch, Middlesex the son of Daniel and Jane (Walker) Sutherland of Hill Court.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Charles married Sarah Bull by Banns at St Andrew Holborn, Middlesex on the 7th October 1827. Both Charles and Sarah signed the marriage register.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Charles died on the 8th January 1850 in Walworth, Surrey and was buried at Walworth St Peter, Surrey on the 11th January 1850.</span></span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> 3) Three facts about Charles Daniel Sutherland.</span></span></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Charles had 4 known daughters Sarah, Emma (my great grandmother), Jane and Ann. When they were baptised he gave his occupation as "Waiter".</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For the 1841 census his family was split up. His daughter Sarah was living with her grandmother Sarah Bull in Exmouth Place, Hackney while his wife Sarah and daughters Emma, Jane, and Ann were in the Hackney Union Workhouse. I haven't been able to find Charles in this census and he is known to have used at least one alias.</span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 22px;"><span style="line-height: 22px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">At the time of his death Charles was going by the name Charles Walker and working as a "potman" at the Hour Glass on Walworth Common. He was found dead in his bed the morning of the 8th January 1850 and the coroner gave the cause of death as "Natural Affection of the Thorax upon Severe Cold". Evidence was given that he had refused medical attention. There is an addendum to the death certificate of Charles Walker dated 1st March 1850 that the name on the certificate should be Charles Daniel Sutherland. This was sworn to by Sarah Sutherland (his wife or daughter) and Emma Sutherland in front of the Superintendent Registrar.</span></span></span></li>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">A little background<span style="font-size: small;">, my genealogical ancestry is <span style="font-size: small;">Australian and then British Isles with possibl<span style="font-size: small;">y an emigration from Europe<span style="font-size: small;"> (<span style="font-size: small;">in the region of France and Switzerland)<span style="font-size: small;"> in the mid to late 18th century or <span style="font-size: small;">thereabouts.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span> Everything else is solidly East Anglia <span style="font-size: small;">or the Great<span style="font-size: small;">er London area </span>with the addition of a couple of convicts<span style="font-size: small;"> from<span style="font-size: small;"> the Scottish Highlands, another from Gloucestershire, and a <span style="font-size: small;">cath<span style="font-size: small;">olic girl from the workhouses in Ireland who was sent out to the colonies.</span></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">When I <span style="font-size: small;">took the Ancestry DNA test (it's the autosomal DNA<span style="font-size: small;"> they test for) I was ho<span style="font-size: small;">ping to find some connections from Norfolk and possibly something that led back to France. So far<span style="font-size: small;"> I've go<span style="font-size: small;">t thousands of potenti<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">a</span>l 5th-</span></span></span></span></span></span></span>8th "cousins" <span style="font-size: small;">and I haven't<span style="font-size: small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">really figured out how to handle <span style="font-size: small;">all these tree matches. <span style="font-size: small;">The name matches are only for the direct line for the person the DNA results are attached to<span style="font-size: small;">. </span>Here are some <span style="font-size: small;">things I've found:<br />
</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Private Trees - you can't see what name <span style="font-size: small;">or place in <span style="font-size: small;">your direct line </span>is matching one of yours, if any. You have to contact the private tree holder. It's not worth the effort <span style="font-size: small;">for me, I'm sen<span style="font-size: small;">ding them all to the garbage bin.</span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">People with no trees or trees with no <span style="font-size: small;">data<span style="font-size: small;"> - str<span style="font-size: small;">aight off to the garbage again. And how people expect to <span style="font-size: small;">find matches with nothing in their tree beats me!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Trees <span style="font-size: small;">that don't go back to Europe at all in their direct line. This is very common. Ancestry, after all, is a US site and <span style="font-size: small;">the people taking the test are <span style="font-size: small;">resident in the US. Even those with large <span style="font-size: small;">and seemingly well documented trees don't go back to Europe very often. These I'm ignoring but not sending to <span style="font-size: small;">the garbage can.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>

You get the idea.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Very common surnames <span style="font-size: small;">(Taylor, Baker, Thompson, Wright<span style="font-size: small;"> ...). These are the ones getting the most hits. I'll have to <span style="font-size: small;">view
the results from every tree to find the few I'm really interested in
(Tissott, Brothers, Reeder, Barnard). I've found a few Reeder and
Barnard but so far <span style="font-size: small;">neither</span> of the others.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></li>

</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ancestry is supposed to be working on some tools to <span style="font-size: small;">let us manage this enormous amount of data. A search function for a specific name<span style="font-size: small;">
or place would be wonderful. However I can see that this could be an
enormous resource hog and their servers are already struggling with
TreeSync volumes. Well, we'll see what happens. A<span style="font-size: small;">ncestry also indicated tha<span style="font-size: small;">t
they would let us have the raw data so we can then use it on other DNA
sites. This is supposed to happen in 2013. Again, we'll just have to
wait and see.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: small;">Ancestry also provides you with your ethnicity. This
has proved to be very controversial because many people can't wrap
their minds around the fact that it <span style="font-size: small;">can have little relevance to their genealogical data. <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Ancestry has said that they are working on this and the more
data they get the better it will be. My ethnicity shows as 48%
Scandinavian, 41% British <span style="font-size: small;">Isles and 11% Southern European. This fits me pretty well. The Vikings raided the <span style="font-size: small;">British I<span style="font-size: small;">sles centuries ag<span style="font-size: small;">o and I'm sure some settled there. Th<span style="font-size: small;">at's the Scandi<span style="font-size: small;">navian. The Southern European is probably the Romans who con<span style="font-size: small;">quered
Britain back in the time of the Caesars, had garrisons there, and the
soldiers stayed when the armies withdrew because they had families the<span style="font-size: small;">re.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Elizabeth Fendich
</h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The great grandmother of the husband of my grand aunt.</i></div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The only data I had on Elizabeth was her marriage to Thomas Kitteringham on 28 Nov 1783 at Northwold, Norfolk without any citation at all. The Northwold Parish Register provided the information that both Elizabeth and Thomas were of age and the Banns were posted at Northwold on the 9th, 16th and 23rd of November 1783. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Online user trees with data for Elizabeth are on Ancestry (14), Rootsweb (3), Pedigree Resource File (1) and WikiTree (1) and show conflicting data.</div>
<ul>
<li>Birth: 1755 in Northwold (12)
</li>
<li>Birth: 11 Jul 1755 in Northwold (4)
</li>
<li>Birth: 11 Jul 1765 in Northwold (3)
</li>
<li>Birth Citation: OneWorldTree on Ancestry.com (1)
</li>
<li>Birth Citation: Ancestry Family Trees (1)
</li>
<li>Death: Foulden (4)
</li>
<li>Father: William Fendick (15)
</li>
<li>Mother: Mary (11)
</li>
<li>Mother: Elizabeth (4)</li>
</ul>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The parish registers for Northwold and the nearby parishes of Methwold, Cranwich, Gooderstone, Wretton and Feltwell show NO baptisms for Elizabeth Fendich in 1755 or 1765. The most likely baptisms are:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
(a) 18 Apr 1757 at Northwold, parents William and Elizabeth Fendick. The sequence of events occurring around this time are: </div>
<ul>
<li>22 Apr 1756: Elizabeth Fendike, wife of William Fendike of Northwold, was buried at Methwold.</li>
<li>01 Nov 1756: William Fendicke of Northwold (widower) married Elizabeth Parlette of Wretton at Wretton.
</li>
<li>18 Apr 1757: Elizabeth, daughter of William and Elizabeth Fendick was baptised at Northwold.
</li>
<li>19 Apr 1757: Elizabeth, wife of William Fendick, was buried at Northwold.</li>
</ul>
<br /><div>
(b) 27 May 1762: Elizabeth, illegitimate daughter of Elizabeth Fendick was baptised at Northwold.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I haven't been able to find another marriage or burial for Elizabeth Fendich that would let me identify which of these 2 Elizabeth's is the Elizabeth that married Thomas Kitteringham.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
My conclusion is that Elizabeth's mother was named Elizabeth Fendich but whether she was married to William Fendich or a single woman I am unable to tell.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Elizabeth's death remains unresolved. Her last child (from the Northwold baptism registers) is Martha Kitteringham. Martha was born on 22 Dec 1800 and baptised on 08 Jan 1801 at Northwold. I've searched the transcripts available on FreeREG.org.uk as well as the Northwold Burial Registers for:</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
(a) Death of Elizabeth Kitteringham/Ketteringham in Northwold on/after 1801.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
There were a number of burials for Elizabeth Kitteringham/Ketteringham. I rejected these either because they were single women or the ages didn't agree with a birth/baptism date of between 1753 and 1765.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
(b) Marriage of Elizabeth Kitteringham as a widow after her husband Thomas Kitteringham was buried at Northwold on 22 Dec 1827.</div>
<div>
There were no marriages of Elizabeth Kitteringham/Ketteringham as a widow after 1827.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
I would welcome any thoughts on who Elizabeth Fendich's parents were and where and when she was buried.</div>

So now, on the 13th January 2013 I'm going to give it another shot.<br />
<br />
I'm going to change the focus and record what I find in my really thorny rosebush. It's gotten completely out of hand and I've started reviewing everyone, cleaning up sources, adding sources, trying to remember where I found a piece of data.<br />
<br />
A little background first.<br />
<br />
My primary file is a Family Tree Maker 2012 database residing on my PC running Windows Vista. I've synchronized this to an Ancestry Member Tree (an extremely useful function now that most of the obvious kinks have been resolved). I only update my tree in Family Tree Maker. The only exception to this is when some generous soul has posted an image to their public tree and then I'll attach it to my tree and send them a little thank you note. Wouldn't it be great if we could "like" a person?<br />
<br />
I use Family Tree Maker's Web Search function to add records from Ancestry to my database. I don't use all it's features preferring to search directly on Ancestry for the records I need. Other databases that I search have to be manually added, not a tremendous chore once you have done enough of them and feel comfortable with the software.<br />
<br />
I'm working through my file in birth date sequence (I'm up to 1754 at the moment). For each person I'm reviewing the citations (if any), cleaning them up or adding them. If I'm missing any of the essentials (birth, baptism, marriage, death, burial) then I'll see if there is anything readily obtainable from databases I regularly use. If I can find children that I haven't got, I'll add them. I also take a look at the Ancestry Member Trees who have this person making a note of anything that looks useful.<br />
<br />
To change things around a bit every so often I'll pick a person from my Ancestry tree that has hints and work through the hints. Then, when I've gone through everything that is readily available I'll add a Status Fact to that person and move on to the next. So far I've done 115 out of 4,448 people (2.5%!!).<br />
<br />
I may finish this one day.Rosemaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07230436754902585388noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412084306826988110.post-1850291453213638252012-01-03T14:03:00.000-06:002012-01-03T14:03:43.333-06:00On This Day: 3rd January1891: Thomas Winn, son of Thomas and Hannah Winn of Pelton, Co Durham, married Louisa Jane Murray, daughter of Thomas and Helen Murray of Chester-le-Street, Co Durham, at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, Pelton, Co Durham.Rosemaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07230436754902585388noreply@blogger.com4County Durham, UK54.87313 -1.60086100000000954.639517000000005 -2.158411500000009 55.106743 -1.0433105000000089tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412084306826988110.post-72557622462727449002012-01-02T02:00:00.006-06:002012-01-02T02:00:02.398-06:00On This Day: 2nd January1909: Kathleen Mary ANNAKIN was born in Leeds, Yorkshire.

For those of us new to genealogy the batch numbers allowed you to<br />
<ul><li>Browse all records for a given batch - generally within a given parish</li>
<li>Search all records within that batch for people with a common surname</li>
</ul>Hugh Wallis provided us a very good explanation and a batch number search which can be found <a href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/%7Ehughwallis/IGIBatchNumbers.htm">IGI Batch Numbers </a>. There are batch numbers for other countries besides the United States and North America which you will find at the bottom of the page. Unfortunately Hugh Wallis has passed away and the list is now incomplete.<br />
<br />
Start with the <a href="https://www.familysearch.org/#form=advanced-records">FamilySearch Advanced Search</a> panel.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgymcBZv-pNVOo69c0u7pR62NuPN2C41P1czV41h8gB7oR-UadI2WoDuDReuEAY05w9Ww3J0CrdOaCqQSKVhmsI4qtwPknZt5f9WsdTq54tdbLNwEra1abvbCyF5W_aMPun8ig5xS84brQ/s1600/FamilySearch+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgymcBZv-pNVOo69c0u7pR62NuPN2C41P1czV41h8gB7oR-UadI2WoDuDReuEAY05w9Ww3J0CrdOaCqQSKVhmsI4qtwPknZt5f9WsdTq54tdbLNwEra1abvbCyF5W_aMPun8ig5xS84brQ/s320/FamilySearch+1.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Pick a batch number from the list (or use one that you have noted down), enter it and Search. I've used a batch number of C113956 for this example - Baptisms and Christenings in Tibbermore, Perthshire, Scotland.<br />

From this point you can refine your search to reduce the number of results. I've expanded the first person found, Isabella Aberdeen to show that she was born on 22 Nov 1841 and baptised on 11 Jan 1842 at Tibbermore, Perthshire, Scotland.<br />

When he wasn't at work he and his wife Sarah lived at 13 Exmouth Place, Hackney.<br />

When it is grandfather performing the baptism then the family travels to grandfather's parish. I've recently transcribed some baptisms held at St Martin Outwich in the City of London and found these nice examples of a family having grandfather baptise the latest additions.<br />
<ol><li>19 Sep 1832, Beaumont Ellis s. of Beaumont Atkinson, gentleman, and Elizabeth (Ellis), South Grove, Hampstead, b. 15 July; by J. J. Ellis, M.A., Rector</li>
<li> 02 Aug 1835, Georgina Elizabeth, d. of George Stevenson Ellis, gentleman, and Barbara Frances (Simpson), South Sea House, b. 21 July; by J. J. Ellis, M.A., Rector</li>

<li>11 Jul 1842, Henrietta Jane, d. of George Stevenson Ellis, gentleman, and Barbara Frances (Simpson), South Sea House, b. 6 June; by J. J. Ellis, M.A., Rector</li>
<li>08 Jan 1844, Barbara Frances, d. of George Stevenson Ellis, gentleman, and Barbara Frances (Simpson), 20 Dartmouth Terrace, Blackheath, b. 19 Nov 1843; by J. J. Ellis, M.A., Rector </li>
<li>08 Dec 1845, Helen Blanche, d. of George Stevenson Ellis, gentleman, and Barbara Frances (Simpson), 20 Dartmouth Terrace, Blackheath, b. 29 Oct; by J. J. Ellis, M.A., Rector </li>
</ol>Here is <a href="http://ccedb.cch.kcl.ac.uk/jsp/persons/CreatePersonFrames.jsp?PersonID=117402">The Rev John Joseph Ellis, M.A.</a> record in the CCEd, the Clergy of the Church of England database. His son, George Stevenson Ellis, lived nearby at South Sea House but moved out to Blackheath and still returned to have his father perform the baptisms. His daughter Elizabeth (Ellis) Atkinson, lived in Hampstead and came into the city for her father to perform the baptisms.<br />
<br />
Knowing the occupation of relatives can make all the difference in finding baptisms which don't appear in the home parish.<br />

Hear are some examples I found while transcribing the baptismal registers of St Martin Outwich in the City of London.<br />
<ul><li>10 May 1772 Jane Hermitage, a black girl, aged abt 14 years</li>
<li>14 Oct 1792 John Dilston, five years of age, s. of Richd and Deliana Powle</li>
<li> 21 May 1799 John Love, a black adult 23 years old, servt to G. Booth Barrett Esq.</li>
<li>30 Nov 1800 Flora Jones, a native of the East Indies, about 18 years of age, living with John Jones Esq., of the Bengal Warehouse E[ast] I[ndia] House</li>
<li>22 Jan 1817 Henry Gompertz, an adult, a solicitor, Crown Ct., Threadneedle Street</li>

When I first started in genealogy I didn't realise exactly how much there was on these certificates. <br />
<div></div><div>These West Australian Birth Certificates (from 1898-1906) have:</div><ol><li>Number in Register</li>
<li>Child: When and where Born</li>
<li>Child: Name and whether present at registration or not</li>
<li>Sex</li>
<li>Father: Name and Surname, Rank or Profession, Age, and Birth-place</li>
<li>Father: When and Where married, Previous Issue living and deceased</li>
<li>Mother: Name and Maiden Surname, Age, and Birth-place</li>
<li>Informant: Signature, Description, and Residence of Informant</li>
<li>Witness: Name of Accoucheur, Nurse by whom certified, and Names of Occupiers or other Witnesses</li>
<li>Registrar: When registered and where</li>
<li>Registrar: Signature of District Registrar</li>

<br />
"A young sprig of elegant puppyism - a mere boy, with the down upon his chin, fancied that he was in love; and one evening, lately seeing his charmer walking under the protection of two gentlemen, who were conducting the lady home, with a cowardice scarcely to be equalled, went up to the young lady and presented a pistol at her head, and ordered her to immediately quit their company and join his - what a hero! to present a pistol at the head of a timid female. The insulting - the cowardly little puppy, should have had a broomstick applied to his head, or a rod, perhaps, would have been more proper for the child. We shall allow this sprig of fashion to pass this time without mentioning his name; but we shall be less tender with him the next time we hear of his outrages. In the mean while, we recommend the police to take cognizance of the affair, as the young fool may, perhaps, unintentially, some time or other, seriously injure some of His Majesty's leige subjects - children should not be allowed to play with fire arms; and, as the father of the child has not sense enough to punish the boy, the authorities ought to be compelled to so so!"<br />

So, nothing daunted, I went through some more stacks and then found even more of them.<br><br />
I unhooked the scanner from DH's XP system, hooked it up to my Vista system and started scanning using a great piece of 3rd party scanning<br />
software called <a href="http://www.hamrick.com/">VueScan</a> from Hamrick Software. VueScan allows you to keep using your reliable, perfectly adequate scanner that is no longer supported by your operating system. Frankly, this has more and better options than the original software ever had and is easier to use to boot.<br />
<br />
I started scanning away and saving the scans in a central place under my "Genealogy Notes" folder as "Certificates" both as JPG's and PDF's until I came from the certificates from Western Australia. These are too long for my scanner which handles up to A4 handily. I would wish that these weren't as long, of course, but the last two columns contain details of the person's marriage and children, both names and places. I've found very good data in these 2 extra columns.<br />
<br />
What to do with these? A visit to Kinko's or Office Depot seems to be in order to use their larger scanners.<br />
<br />
Among them are a number of strays, people who I thought were part of the family but who turned out to be of no interest. The English ones I added to <a href="http://bmd-cert-exch-site.ourwardfamily.com/index.htm">BMD Certificate Exchange</a> in case someone wants them. I still have my scans for reference.<br />
<br />
The next step is to make sure these are added to my database, images attached, sources and citations written up, every last nugget of information saved away, and last,but not least, filing away in the proper folder.Rosemaryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07230436754902585388noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5412084306826988110.post-78487704532884232452011-07-02T14:11:00.001-05:002011-07-02T17:13:36.638-05:00Surname Saturday - TissottI'm joining the Saturday Surname brigade and starting with myself and my maiden name.<br />
<br />
Tissott (we've always spelled it with the "double t" at the end) is an anglicized version of Tissot, from a diminutive Tissier, the Old French occupational name for a weaver. And no, we are no relation to the Swiss watch firm of the same name, more's the pity.<br />
