Washington State Library Possible 20% Funding Reduction -- Public Hearing, 31 March 2011
Geneal ogists should be aware of a bill (HB 2033) that has been introduced in the House to create a new Department of Heritage, Arts, and Culture which would include the Washington State Library but not the Archives and reduce their funding by an estimated 20%. As you know the Secretary of State has been a strong supporter of geneal ogists and this would remove that support.
For more information you can go to this website: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?year=2011&bill=2033
If you are close enough toOlympia Thursday, 31 March 2011 . Otherwise, you may wish to voice your opinion to the sponsors and Committee on State Government and Tribal Affairs.

Browsing the NGSQ Archives During Women's History Month
by Toby Webb
Women appear in every geneal ogy but, because we usually follow surnames, too frequently they appear only as "wife of." March is Women's History Month. What is there in the NGSQ archive of past articles that focuses specifically on the research of women?
In September 2000, an entire special issue was dedicated to "Reassembling Female Lives." National Geneal ogical Society Quarterly 88 (September 2000). Elizabeth Shown Mills (with Rachel Mills Lennon), Barbara Vines Little, Kay Germain Ingalls, and Kay Haviland Freilich all contributed articles on finding and correctly identifying women in our research.
In 1999, Evidence, one of NGSQ's best known special issues, National Geneal ogical Society Quarterly 87 (September 1999), included articles showing how to use different types of evidence in geneal ogical proof arguments. Three of the key articles used cases of female identity to demonstrate evidentiary technique: Helen F.M. Leary, "Resolving Conflicts in Direct Evidence: Identity and Vital Dates of Mary Kittrell," National Geneal ogical Society Quarterly 87 (September 1999): 199-205; Marya Myers, "Discovering Identity through Indirect Evidence: Elizabeth James of Bristol, Rhode Island," National Geneal ogical Society Quarterly 87 (September 1999): 206-216 ; and Margaret Amundson, "Rebutting Direct Evidence with Indirect Evidence: The Identity of Sarah (Taliaferro) Lewis of Virginia," National Geneal ogical Society Quarterly 87 (September 1999): 217-240.
Many NGSQ articles have used questions of female identity to demonstrate problem solving for different ethnicities. A few examples:
- Dutch: Robert V. Anderson, "The Mother of Mathew Goes (ca. 1660-1663) of Rensselaerwyck," National Ge
neal ogical Society Quarterly 74 (June 1986): 119-121. - French: Henri E. Carrier, "Resinger and Courteau, The King's Daughters," National Ge
neal ogical Society Quarterly 77 (June 1989): 151. - Irish: Marya Myers, "Overcoming Irishness in
Boston neal ogical Society Quarterly 86 (September 1998): 166-188.
Others have offered general research methods:
Elizabeth neal ogical Society Quarterly 77 (March 1989): 43-65.- Daisy Schwander, "Finding Origins for Immigrant Females:
Chicago neal ogical Society Quarterly 81 (December 1993): 245-256. - Connie Lenzen, "Proving a Maternal Line: The Case of Frances B. Whitney," National Ge
neal ogical Society Quarterly 82 (March 1994): 17-31. - Sharon DeBartolo Carmack, " Immigrant Women and Family Planning: Historical Perspectives for Ge
neal ogical Research," National Geneal ogical Society Quarterly 84 (June 1996): 102-114. - Linda Bennett Johnson, "Name Changes within the Melting Pot: The Search for "Frances Vera Gilmore" of
Detroit neal ogical Society Quarterly 85 (June 1997): 85-93. Del neal ogical Society Quarterly 85 (December 1997): 245-275.
Several articles have taught us more about women we thought we knew:
- Helen F.M. Leary, "Sally Heming's Children: A Ge
neal ogical Analysis of the Evidence," National Geneal ogical Society Quarterly 89 (September 2001): 165-207. - Robert de Berardinis, ""Madame X": Virginie Amelie "Mimi" Avegno (Mme. Gutreau) and a Family Note to Art History," National Ge
neal ogical Society Quarterly 90 (March 2002): 65-68.
And several articles awarded Family History Writing Contest prizes have demonstrated that women make very good narrative subjects:
- Richard Lee Tolman, "The Life and Times of English Immigrant Priscilla (nee Clark) (Pickett) (Pickett) Wilford," National Ge
neal ogical Society Quarterly 94 (December 2006): 267-286. - Del E. Jupiter, "Matilda Madrid: One Woman's Tale of Bondage and Freedom," National Ge
neal ogical Society Quarterly 91 (March 2003): 41-59. - Gwen Boyer Bjorkman, "Hannah (Baskel) Phelps Phelps Hill: A Quaker Woman and Her Offspring," National Ge
neal ogical Society Quarterly 75 (December 1987): 289-302.
NGSQ, it turns out, has long been an important journal for women's history. NGS members can find and download these and many similar articles in the publication archives on the NGS website.

ICAPGen Cemetery Grant Program -- Whispers From The Dust
A central mission of the International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Geneal ogists (ICAPGen) is “to advance family history/geneal ogy work around the world by accrediting and promoting geneal ogy professionals who are competent, ethical, and reliable.” We have made great strides in mentoring, testing, and accrediting geneal ogy professionals in recent years.
Many do not realize that another part of the ICAPGen mission is “to work to promote the preservation of geneal ogical materials.” Accordingly, we have something exciting to announce…
“Whispers from the Dust” – A Cemetery Grant Program
Cemeteries have always been essential to geneal ogical research. Unfortunately, headstones, paper burial records, and maps are especially vulnerable to time and elements, and every year more and more are permanently lost. These important records – both maps and burial data – need not be lost forever; technology exists to safeguard them for future generations and make them available to researchers today.
Imagine making a “virtual” visit to a cemetery with an online map that identifies each grave individually. Imagine clicking on that grave and viewing birth, death, spouse, marriage, and military information along with a headstone photo. Now, imagine zooming out and identifying everyone buried in adjacent graves. Integrated mapping and data will help solve geneal ogical puzzles that could not be solved with mere headstone transcriptions. Off-site backup of digital records safeguard them for future generations.
This exciting and innovative technology is all part of the “Whispers from the Dust” cemetery grant program.
ICAPGen, as a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, will work with cemeteries that can benefit from a grant to modernize their mapping and data systems. Cemeteries of all sizes will be invited to apply for a grant that will cover up to 90% of the cost of the project. This will be a welcome opportunity for many cemeteries that recognize a need to update and preserve their records but lack the necessary funding. Maps and data from these projects will be uploaded to a central website, easily and freely available to all geneal ogy researchers. Visit http://www.namesinstone.com/ to see how the maps and data will be shared online.
We invite you visit http://www.icapgen.org/ for more information, and to learn how you might participate in this program.

March is Women's History Month
Per a web-site created by The Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service, Smithsonian Institution and the Holocaust Memorial Museum
“Before the 1970’s, the topic of women’s history was largely missing from general public consciousness. To address this situation, the Education Task Force of the Sonoma County California
… In 1981, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Rep. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) cosponsored the first Joint Congressional Resolution proclaiming a “Women’s History Week.”
In 1987, the National Women’s History Project petitioned Congress to expand the celebration to the entire month of March. Since then, the National Women’s History Month Resolution has been approved every year with bipartisan support in both the House and Senate.”
The theme for this year’s month-long celebration of women in history is Our History is Our Strength.
Check out these resources:
- Women’s History Month, http://womenshistorymonth.gov/,
- National Women’s History Project Brochure: http://www.nwhp.org/whm/2011_brochure.pdf,
