Leaves of the Tree: My RootsMagic - New Place to Publish Your Family History

Leaves of the Tree: My RootsMagic - New Place to Publish Your Family History:

If you are interested in using RootsMagic6 to publish your genealogy on the Internet take a look at this page and the Our Family link at the bottom.  It's a quick way to see what to expect.

This is a project I'd like to attempt in the near future.

Thanks to Kay Haden who shared her work.

Adam and Susannah Henthorn - Descendant List

Adam and Susannah Henthorn - Descendant List

Today I'm announcing the completion of a project to recover the PAF 2.31 genealogy file of Adam and Susannah Henthorn and load it into RootsMagic6 on my laptop computer.

This file is named pafada on my computer and is listed as such in the capsule description associated with the My RootsMagic6 Files Tab at the top of the page on this blog.  The file consists of 6405 individuals in 2379 families.

I created a 16-page simple descendant list in PDF format to introduce five generations of the people in this file (more information is available to those willing to reciprocate) to include: Henthorn; Shaw; Riggenbach; Atkinson, Ollom and Gallaher.  The report includes an every name index.  I tried something new with this file.  I uploaded it to the HenthornFamily Wiki. You can find the document on the Henthorn page of the Wiki where it can be viewed or downloaded. Simply click on the PDF icon or the word "Download."

The Orphan Trains | The Children's Aid Society

The Orphan Trains | The Children's Aid Society

I don't know much about this.  Who advocated for the children?  Did they have anyone protecting their rights?  Was this another form of slavery in some cases?

Have you ever worked on the genealogy of anyone who rode The Orphan Trains?
