Family Group Sheets

Family Group Sheets

I have a paid subscription to cloud storage on Box.

I created a folder on Box where I can upload Family Group Sheets created by my genealogy program, RootsMagic7. This Family Group Sheet folder has many family sub-folders. With the link shared below you can access the Family Group Sheets. Individual group sheets can be previewed online and/or downloaded to your computer. I believe Box works best when accessed via a computer. It is probably possible to access the family group sheets with a SmartPhone if you have the URL.

The family group sheets produced by RootsMagic include the Note field of the people listed on the family group sheet. Included in the notes are source citations, if I have them, Find A Grave memorial numbers, obituaries and other historical information. After the Note fields each family group sheet has a name index and a place name index.

Corrections and additions are welcome.

I'll also entertain suggestions for other family group sheets 

I'm a very active user of Facebook which makes that the best way to catch my attention. 

My Email address, which I don't check often is: Dick.Henthorn@gmail.com

What Will Become of It?

What Will Become of It?

The other day I was thinking about Wetzel Co., WV because I discovered a Facebook Group for the county that I didn't know about.

I have been working on the genealogy of folks from Wetzel Co., WV for many years. In fact, I used to be in touch with some of the folks from the county genealogy society before they decided to disband. In those days I donated four genealogy documents to the society. I was co-compiler on a couple of them. The society had the documents hard bound and then placed them in the genealogy section of the county library at New Martinsville, WV.

I visited New Martinsville several times and the library once. That was before the donations were placed in the library, so I have never seen the bound volumes.

Yesterday I checked the catalog to refresh my memory about the donations. I searched for "Author, Henthorn, Richard E.."

This activity brought to mind a subject that has been on my mind for months, "What Will Become of It?" I have been working on genealogy projects for over 30 years. There are thousands of pages of information on my computer in the RootsMagic program. Some of the information has been shared with other people in digital formats such as PDFs, some has been shared on Facebook in my private Group and other Groups, some Conger information is hosted by a Conger friend in Iowa, some information is shared in two of my genealogy Google blogs, some is on my Google Site, some is shared on my private Box account, some has been donated,in printed form, to various genealogy libraries around the USA.

I turned 81 year old this month and I have been in poor health for about ten months. It's time to come to grips with the issue of What Will Become of It?

My Google Blogs

My Google Blogs

For a long time I have maintained six blogs on Google. Two are used for genealogy, two for personal thoughts, and one for links to other webpages of interest and one for private note keeping.  The frequency of posting to the blogs is random.

Once you gain access to one of the blogs you can use the sidebar on the right to find links to the other public blogs. 

If you are one of my Facebook friends you can access my About page where there are hot links to some of the blogs.

If you find what I post to be of interest you might want to learn how to set a swich to be notified when I create a post. It has been so long since I thought about this, I no longer recall how to do it.

H. H. Hardesty Book for Wetzel & Tyler Counties, West Virginia

The Hardesty Book for Wetzel & Tyler Counties, West Virginia
1 Feb 2019

Joe Haines owns a rare copy of the 136 year old, "Hardesty's Historical and Geographical Encyclopedia, Illustrated, Special History of the Virginias, Maps and Histories of Tyler and Wetzel Counties, West Virginia." - H.H. Hardesty & Co., Publishers, Chicago and Toledo - 1883, 337 pages.

There are several libraries that list this book as part of their collections.
Virginia Historical Society Library - Richmond, VA
West Virginia University Libraries - Morgantown, WV
Bethany College - Bethany, WV
Yale University Library - New Haven, CT
University of Michigan William Clements Library - Ann Arbor, MI

Joe graciously scanned and shared some of the biographical articles with us on the "Wetzel County, West Virginia Genealogy" closed Group on Facebook.

I like to include the information from Hardesty articles in the Note field of my genealogy file and assume that others might want to do so also. I used the Google OCR capability of Google Docs/Drive to convert some of the articles into "text" files. I proofread each file and corrected any conversion errors that I noticed.  To improve readability I added blanks lines between what I considered to be paragraphs.

As of 1 Feb 2019 I converted approximately 80 articles. I plan to share the results as individual files to the Files area of this Group. This will take place over time. As of this date, Joe continued to scan and post additional articles from the book.

If you find any typos that I missed please let me know. I always need proof reading help. You can post your comments to the Group, just be sure to include my Facebook name in the post so I won't miss the post.

Joe Haines prepared an index list of the names found in the book. This information is included below.

Enlarging a Newspaper Clipping

Sometimes, when newspaper clippings are shared on Facebook, they are hard to read or the bottom part isn't visible. Here's what I try to remember when this happens.

Downloading the image gives me more control. I can open the image with IrfanView. This "free" program has an option that allows me to, gain control of, and enlarge, the image. Almost every time this allows me to make the text large enough for easy reading. My goal is to be able to type the article in order to include the text in the Note field of my genealogy file.

Ice Family Project

Ice Family Project

Working on a big Ice family project today. A while back an undated, typed, family history of four pages was shared on Facebook. It was written by Charles Lee Ice. Very difficult to read because the ribbon was probably old when the piece was written. I used Google Voice Typing to read the document out loud. The results left a lot to be desired. Next I used my text editor to compare my product with the original to do the clean up edits. In the next step I will attempt to post the contents of the document to my genealogy file. I'm considering posting the entire piece to the record of Charles Lee Ice as well as posting pieces to the records of people I can identify. The final step will be to share my readable version of the document to the Ice page on Facebook. I'm leaving this step until last in case I discover errors that I made. Recently I was asked why I type obituaries. I type documents because I want to be able to read them and I want to be able to incorporate them into my genealogy databases. And, I like sharing.

Why I Seek Typed Obituaries

Why I Seek Typed Obituaries

This morning a frequent contributor to the Ice Family page on Facebook asked why I am typing and sharing obituaries.

Here's my reply.

Here's how I do genealogy. I use a genealogy program [RootsMagic] to record the information I obtain about each person. Each person can have a Note field where "text" can be stored. When I obtain an obituary I transcribe the information to "text" and save it in the Note field. This allows me to create narrative ancestor or descendant reports that show everything I know about a particular line. These reports are what I call, genealogy. In my opinion storing digital images in a genealogy database wouldn't work very well when one wants to print out the information.

Collecting "raw" data is an important aspect of the genealogy hobby, but in and of itself will never produce a readable genealogy. The only way this can be accomplished is to process the "raw" data and enter it into your genealogy program of choice.

My Slovak Roots – A Genealogy and Travel Site on WordPress

My Slovak Roots – A Genealogy and Travel Site:

Here's someone's genealogy website built on WordPress.

Apparently there are genealogy templates available on WordPress.

This isn't someone I know or a family of interest to me. The link to the site was shared on Facebook.  I'm posting the link because some of us might be interested in seeing what can be accomplished.

Using Find A Grave Cemetery IDs

Using Find A Grave Cemetery IDs

Find A Grave assigns each cemetery an ID number. Currently there isn't a way to search on a known cemetery ID.

When I asked about this on the Find A Grave Facebook page I was provided with a tip that will be very useful.  You can go directly to a cemetery by adding the ID number to the URL for cemeteries.

For example, I've been working with the cemetery assigned the ID number 212241. Here's a link to the cemetery using that ID number.

Senecaville, Guernsey Co., OH, Salem Baptist Church Cemetery

Here's what the URL looks like:
https://www.findagrave.com/cemetery/212241

So, if you know the ID number of some other cemetery, just replace "212241" with your ID of interest and you can go directly to that cemetery.

Which reminds me of another tip, that I came up with on my own. In the RootsMagic place name list you can record information about a place. When I obtain cemetery details from someone else or from Find A Grave I like to record that information in the Place List "text" field. I'm going to try to form the habit of recording the cemetery ID number as part of that information. This will help me when I want to quickly go to a particular cemetery on Find A Grave.

Here's what I recorded in the Place List text field for the Salem Baptist Church Cemetery.

Note: 

This cemetery is called, Salem Baptist Church Cemetery, Senecaville, Guernsey Co., OH on FindAGrave. Catharine (Foreaker) Fedorchak) in her Foreaker genealogy mentions it at least a dozen times as, Salem Baptist Cemetery and on page, 4b, lists the location as Richland Twp., Guernsey Co., OH.

Researcher, Richard E. Henthorn also believes it is located in Richland Twp., Guernsey Co., OH and as of Jan 2017 was called Salem Baptist Church Cemetery.
FINDAGRAVE: Cemetery ID# 212241

The Computer Backup Rule of Three - Scott Hanselman

The Computer Backup Rule of Three - Scott Hanselman:

Recently the screen on my laptop went black a couple of times after the hard drive had been working hard for a couple of hours.  One Wednesday night I was watching streaming video of the concert, Music City Roots from Franklin, TN, near Nashville. Those incidents got me thinking and talking about the fact that the laptop could give up the ghost at anytime.

Here's an interesting post that showed up today on Facebook, with additional comments from some of the folks who read the piece. I think the author makes some good points. He certainly raised my awareness about how vulnerable I am, at this moment, to a computer disaster.

All of us should consider implementing a sounder computer backup strategy in 2018.

Stitching Two Images Together Vertically

Stitching Two Images Together Vertically

Here's a genealogy problem I wanted to solve without spending any money.

RootsMagic can create a nice screen image that displays the members in a family. Sometimes I use the Windows Screen Capture program to make a JPEG image of what I see on the screen.  Then I post this image to one of the county Facebook pages to share what I know about a family of interest to myself and Facebook friends.

Once in a while the amount of information I'd like to share exceeds one screen. In the example I'm using here my display included three generations. I knew I could capture a second screen image with the Windows Screen Capture program. The problem I faced was how to stitch the two screen images together to be saved as one JPEG file that I could post on Facebook.  I sought a way to do the stitching for "free." 

I learned that the "free" IrfanView program, which was already installed on my laptop,  could do what I wanted.  I also discovered that the program offers an option of including a colored "bar" between the two stitched images. You can't adjust the images to the right or left, so being careful how you select the area of the two screen images is important.

Using the Lumbatis family of Ohio and West Virginia here are three images that illustrate:

• First screen capture
• Second screen capture
• Two images stitched together with IrfanView

Click once on any of the three images to enlarge the display.

Walter A. McDowell

Walter A. McDowell

I obtained the obituary of Walter A. McDowell who died on 14 Dec 2017 from a Facebook post. I worked on adding information about members of his family to my pafyoh file for several days.

I created an ancestor report for Walter, starting with a son.  The PDF report, with every name and place name indices, was 60-pages. Surnames include: Cain, Gorby, Johnson, Mason, McDowell, Pyles, Richmond, Ruckman.

From the same project I created a descendant report for the family of Perry Johnson and Elizabeth Long. The PDF report, with every name and place name indices, was 50-pages. Surnames include: Johnson, Lemasters, Mason, McDowell, Pyles, Richmond, Rine.

I uploaded the two reports to a folder on my Box account where access is limited. I am willing to share with others who agree to reciprocate.

Your True Heritage

Is there a reputable company that will look up your true heritage???

Here's my comment to this question posted on Facebook RootsWeb Genealogists.

In my opinion there is no such thing as "looking up your true heritage." This implies that someone else has done the work and left a copy somewhere it could be found. This kind of good luck is highly unlikely. If you want to hire someone to work on doing your genealogy that is another story. I think they charge by the hour, plus travel expenses. Before you decide to hire someone ask to see samples of their work and to talk to some of their customers.

Downloads

I have a folder named Downloads on my computer.  By default this was where any file I downloaded to my computer was stored.  Overtime this hasn't worked out too well.  The folder filled with hundreds of files making it difficult to find things when I needed them.

My browser is Google Chrome.  That's where the path name to the Downloads folder was stored. After investigation I discovered that, in Google Chrome, under the place where I specified the path name to my download folder, there is a box where you can set a switch that tells the browser to ask for the name of the download folder each time you download a file.  This area of the browser controls is accessed via Settings.

I wanted another download folder where I could store genealogy files. I created a sub-folder, under Downloads, for the storage of genealogy articles and clippings that I named, Clippings. BTW, I think that Google Chrome remembers the name of the last folder used for downloading. That is to say, if I download to the Clippings folder and want the next download to go to the Downloads folder it will be necessary to tell the browser where to do the next download.

The path name to the new sub-folder looks like this:
C:\Users\Richard\Favorites\Downloads\Clippings

Using the two folder names, I'll store routine files downloads in Downloads and the genealogy file downloads will be stored in Clippings. Using this path name arrangement it would be easy to create other sub-folders, under Downloads, if I wanted other folder categories besides Clippings.

Here's why understanding how to control where files download was of interest to me.  I follow several genealogy Groups on Facebook. Visitors to the Groups often post digital images of articles and newspaper clippings that are of interest to me. Some days more files are shared than I have time to process. Creating a folder for the specific purpose of storing these files makes it easier to locate the genealogy files when I am ready to work with the shared information.

Lazarus Rine

As a Christmas gift I am sharing a 1062-page PDF (36.5 MB) genealogy of the family of Lazarus Rine with the members of my secret Facebook genealogy page.  I posted the URL link to the document on the Facebook page.

The file is stored on my Box account.  The link to the file will expire on 26 Dec 2015.  Viewing the file with the Box "preview" is garbled.  Once downloaded the file can be opened with the Acrobat Reader and viewed without problems.

I'm willing to share the file with readers of this blog provided that I know you and that we have a reciprocal sharing arrangement.  Contact me to request the link.  In your message identify yourself, provide your Email address and justify why I should share this information with you.

Earl Carson - Baker Researcher

Yesterday I created a 26-page ancestor report in PDF format for deceased Baker researcher, Earl Carson and his wife. They had no issue. The report shows where I think Mr. Carson fits into the Baker family tree. Researcher Valerie Kramer reported that he worked on genealogy for 40 years and never published anything. Pity!

The report starts with a non-existent person called, Place Holder. I used this technique in order to include the wife of Mr. Carson in the report. If she had an ancestral line in my file they would thusly be included. After the report is created I "unlink" Place Holder from the parents, but leave the record in my genealogy file waiting for the next time I need it.

The report was uploaded to my "secret" Henthorn Genealogy area on Facebook where it is available for viewing and download to members of the group. If you aren't a member, and want to be included, contact me to apply for membership.
