Instagram -- Might we use it for genealogy?
Are you a user? Do
you use it for anything genealogical?
This post, Using Instagram for Brands (thanks “Dear Myrtle” for
mentioning on Facebook!) lays out some very common sense ways that one can use
Instagram to strengthen a brand.
Well genealogy and family history societies are a “brand”
and most everyone loves images! At our
genealogy society meeting the other night, we talked a bit about how in the
last few years, we hardly have any photos from our meetings, etc. Yet, almost everyone has some form of
smartphone with a built in camera! Would
something like Instagram make it that much easier, not to take the picture, and
to distribute it easily to the society members via Facebook?
Has your society or surname group or other genealogy/family
history-related group used Instagram? We’d
love to hear about how our community is using this cutting-edge (for now) app
to it’s advantage!

One Family’s Personal Digital Archives Project
If you are like me ... as
time has gone by, more and more of my new photographs and documents collected
are in a digital format as my photo albums collect dust on the shelves! Many years ago I did convert some old 8mm home
movies taken by my dad into VHS. Of
course, that format has gone the way of the dinosaurs and so I now need to
convert it to a digital format. And, a
few years ago, I took some old slides and got them digitized! And, I have yet to fully “embrace” digitizing
all that I have!
The Library of Congress has a blog post (in The Signal: Digital Preservation) that starts ...
In 1958, Vernon James was an adventurous young man from Colorado who landed a job teaching in Germany West Berlin — and he took lots and lots of photos.
Decades came and went
and in 2005 Mr. James — who was retired by then — decided to scan his European
slides along with the other slides and photos he had accumulated over the years
...
Even after digitizing
well over 20,000 items, Vernon
Do you know of someone like Vernon

Family History Information Standards Organisation
Family
History Information Standards Organisation, or FHISO, is a newly-formed
international organisation created to develop standards for the digital
representation and sharing of family history and genealogical information. The
standards will solve today’s interoperability issues independently of
technology platforms, genealogy products or services. They will provide
opportunities for innovation and will address robust user requirements such as
search, capture and research administration.
FHISO is a nonprofit, community-owned organisation. The
organisation will operate democratically, and membership will be available to
all who participate in the global family history and genealogical community.
I don't
know about you and a reason that many of us stay with one genealogy software
package or online service is because we know that we probably can't fully
transfer our information to another one!
We know that we can always use the GEDCOM format as an econo means of
sharing info, regardless of platform and hopefully FHISO will come up with a
more elegant and powerful option!

Preserve the Pensions -- War of 1812 -- Digitized and online FREE FOREVER!
Preserve the
Pensions is an ongoing project spearheaded by the Federation of Genealogical
Societies (FGS) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to
digitize the War of 1812 pension files in commemoration of the 200th
anniversary of this conflict. It’s often
been called the “Second War of Independence” and these pension files are
invaluable both historically and to our genealogy and family history research.
There are approximately 180,000 pension and bounty land warrant application
files relating to service in the War of 1812.
As they are digitized, the images will be available to
genealogy researchers and the public for free. Contributions to this project
have already made files available, http://go.fold3.com/1812pensions/.
With the contributions made so far, there are over 335,000
documents now available. These represent
4% of the total collection. Your
contribution is needed to help this project achieve it’s goal of fully
digitizing these records. Learn
more about how you can contribute.

National Freedom of Information Coalition
Serendipity
again! I recently stumbled across a
website for the National Freedom of Information Coalition (NFOIC).
This happened as I reading an article “Pike
County (Indiana
EVANSVILLE — A Pike County resident and the Evansville Courier &
Press are suing the Vanderburgh County Health Department to obtain access to
cause of death information contained on death certificates maintained by the
health department. The newspaper and Rita Ward of Winslow , Ind.
I found that the blog for NFOIC summarizes state Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) and local open government news items every Friday and
then other news items are blogged regularly.
Additionally, there is a section where information for ALL State Freedom of Information laws is provided (along with sample FOIA
Request letters for all states).
FOIA laws are very important to genealogists since documentation
generated by local and federal entities can be very important to our genealogy
and family history research.
Sunshine
Week,
celebrated around the March 16 birthday of James Madison, reminds us of the
importance of records access and also the power of grass roots initiatives to
keep our government open. And “open
records” are vital to us!

Citing Sources: A Quick and Graphic Guide ala Harry Potter!
 |
| source: http://www.katehart.net/2012/06/citing-sources-quick-and-graphic-guide.html |
In keeping with the
“youth” theme of the previous post though in the context of a very important
for us genealogists and family historians – avoiding plagiarism, Kate Hart has
posted a graphic “A Magical Guide to Avoiding Plagiarism” based on J K Rowling and her Harry
Potter book series.
I know that many young adults, from about 15-21 and even
some older folks, are familiar with this book series and/or the movies
subsequently filmed. I will confess that I read these books every morning for
years to wake up a sleepy-headed daughter – they gave us a way to connect every
day.
Plagiarism is as much an issue in genealogy as are
ineffective source citations! One must
always give credit to sources (whether databases or people) and NOT represent
the hard efforts of others as if our own!
The poster is a lighthearted and yet serious look at
plagiarism. Don’t just look at the
poster and do look at the comments posted before and after!
What a great thing to share with young adults, grandchildren
or other “younger” folks as they get more into “research” and hopefully of the
family history variety.
Are there other “neat” tools to help us mentor the next
generation of family historians?

Getting the Younger Generations Into Genealogy in Three Easy Steps
 |
| Source: http://familyhistory21ster.blogspot.com/ |
At the recent FGS
conference (August in Birmingham AL) there was A LOT of discussion about getting the younger generation involved in
genealogy and it was the first time that I heard the term 21ster to refer to
those who are more tech-oriented and probably never have visited a courthouse,
looked at microfilm, etc
At the same time, Scott Phillips was posting an article on
the Huffington Post talking about this same topic.
There is one question that seems to pervade
genealogy today. It is this: 'How do we get the next generation 'into'
genealogy?'
Many organisations, companies, and families
struggle with this question. While I don't profess to be a mastermind, I do
follow three simple mantras in all my genealogy efforts in order to draw in
those younger than myself. They are simple, easy, and in my experience,
surefire. They have worked for me and may well work for others...
This has great relevance to all genealogists and family
historians, regardless of whether an officer of a genealogy society, a manager
of an archives or library, or just someone seeking the next person in the
family to carry the “torch” for this passion of ours.
As, it’s not just a passion, it’s also an important part of
preserving our unique and shared history for future generations.
Do you have tips to share on how to engage younger “family
historians?” Please share!

National Genealogical Society Member shares a photo from 1849!
 |
| Photo of Caroline E Mason on her wedding day, 22 November 1849 Used by permission of MK |
You may remember
that last month I shared an 1826 photo considered the “First ever photo” and challenged Upfront with NGS readers to share the
earliest photograph in their family’s possession.
An Upfront with NGS
reader, who prefers to remain anonymous, shared the following as she has a photo from this 1849 marriage!
A little history - the marriage took place in Dahlonega , Georgia
Transcription - verbatim - of marriage license:
Georgia ) To any ordained Minister
Lumpkin County ) of the Gopel (sic), Judge of the
Superior Court, Justice of the Inferior Court
or Justice of the Peace You are hereby
authorized to join Mr Robert H Goodman
and Miss Caroline E Mason in the Holy
State of Matrimony according to the Constitution
and laws of this State and for so doing
this shall be your sufficient License
Given under my hand and
Seal this 22nd day of November 1849
Jeremiah S Chastain C.C. {Seal}
I do hereby certify that the above named
persons were duly married by me on the date

Thanks for sharing MK!
Do you too have an “early” family photo (let’s say pre-1860)
held by your family? We’d love to see
it!

Million Short -- is this a good search engine for genealogists and family historians?
Though there is a
genealogical search engine out there, Mocavo, much of the information about our
ancestors is still found the old-fashioned way, by “Google’ing!”
For a variety of reasons, records and information to help
our family history research might not be found in Mocavo and so we then pursue
them in the “big world” of the internet.
There is now a search engine, million short, where you can “narrow” the websites used in a search
to the less popular ones. Instead of
researching the “top sites” one removes those and searched in what’s left. Let’s be honest, many of our ancestors (and
ourselves) end up in the more obscure end of what is on the internet and not in
the most popular places!
You can remove the top 100, 1K, 10K, 100K or 1 million sites
from the results for any search.
I played around with “Simon Turner” and “Wake County
 |
| million short -- removed top 1K sites |
 |
| million short -- removed top 10K sites |
 |
| million short -- removed top 100K sites |
 |
| million short -- removed top 1million sites |
It's clear that at every level of peeling the onion back, more neat items "rise to the top" though of course, other relevant items are lost ...
What do you think?
Did searching at the bottom of the www help your family research? Is this a good search engine for genealogists?
Editor’s Note: A nice
features is that on the right side of the page, there is a list of those
results removed and you can then manually enter back in results that you want
retained, e.g., Ancestry.com, findagrave.com, etc
