The author suggests, “genealogical research in Ireland has always depended on records that are more fragmented, localized and difficult to access than anywhere else.” Those struggling to find ancestral records in other countries might disagree, but there is no denying the difficulties many face tracing their Irish ancestors to the Emerald Isle. In many ways, this edition is the result of governments, libraries, archives and institutions recognizing genealogists are among their largest and most fervent constituents. Digitizing records in the past was largely an amateurish undertaking with little direction or cohesiveness. Now, more than ever, theses groups and agencies recognize the need for organized and directed digitization projects. All this has led to a dramatic increase in available resources for the researcher.

As with all professional genealogists, Grenham suggests you save time and effort by beginning your research at home. Collect all the family documents you can. Interview family members to learn names and locations. Use this information as your true jumping off point in search. From there the researcher can select where to begin in country research. For example, the book points out that descendants of Catholic tenant-farmers may need to learn when the starting date was for the local parish. This will help provide a parameter in years in which one may expect to find certain documents. With the Internet so readily available, begin ones research online makes sense. Many great research sites provide access to vital records and other key documents; including, National Archives of Ireland, sites www.irishgenealogy.ie and www.rootsireland.ie, and the National Library of Ireland. These are just the beginning of all the sites available today.

The first few chapters cover different record types in detail. Other chapters focus on using the Internet for research, emigration, and additional sources of information like newspapers and directories. The final two chapters look at records and resources by county and by parish. A word of advice to the reader: don’t forget to review the Abbreviations section up front. This is your guide to the resources listed throughout the book.

The G.A.R. was the largest association of Union veterans to exist after the war. Begun in 1866, membership reached its peak in 1890, with the last member dying in 1956. Membership was limited to “Soldiers and sailors of the United States Army, Navy or Marine Corps.” Individuals must have served between April 12, 1861 and April 9, 1866 in the “war for suppression of the rebellion, and those having been honorably discharged therefrom.” The organization created departments on a state level, one per state. Each year the departments would requested the death rolls from local branches for those who had passed. These rolls were usually published in the annual Journal. Each year’s listing was usually a compilations of those who had passed the year before its issue. In other words, someone who died in 1901 probably did not get listed until the publication at the end of 1902. This volume contains more than 22,000 records for soldier from 31 states.

Sometimes the Journals listed obituaries for the deceased. These are not included in this book. However, where they did appear the author made a reference note and has provided an appendix listing to the original Journal reference for those who have an associated obituary. In addition to the Introduction, which elaborates the preceding information, page ix lists abbreviations the reader will encounter throughout the book. The author also provides a brief “How to Use This Book” page. Here are the basics from this section:

• Records are listed alphabetically, with all three states grouped together
• The last column for each record provides the reference data from which Journal of the Annual Encampment from which the record was extracted
• How to follow the reference for which Post the person served at or in
• Additional information regarding G.A.R. members may exist in those cases where original G.A.R. records have survived

These death roll records are another great piece to the puzzle of the lost 1890 census. Leads to information missing in the lost census may be found through these death roll records, and other G.A.R. held information.

What does it mean to be Latino? This Sunday, the season finale of Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., the PBS TV series that explores race and identity through the genealogy of some of America’s best-known personalities, seeks to answer that question. Through the family histories of actors Michelle Rodriguez and Adrian Grenier, and Linda Chavez, an author, syndicated newspaper columnist and political analyst for FOX News, viewers will discover that Latino identity emerged from the tangled histories of European, Native-American and African peoples.

The three subjects of Sunday’s episode all share Spanish colonial roots, yet each views their identity very differently: as Native American, Puerto Rican, Dominican or simply Latino.

For instance, the Finding Your Roots research teams trace Chavez’s family all the way back to Spain in the 1500s. Chavez, who is also chairman of the Center for Equal Opportunity, a non-profit public policy research organization, learns that her roots crisscross the world. Her American experience was forged by people who arrived in the New World long before the Mayflower. One ancestor was the last Mexican governor of New Mexico, and another was a Pueblo Indian. Perhaps most surprising of all, her family tree links her to “Crypto-Jews” – Spanish Jews who converted to Catholicism to survive the Inquisition, yet continued to practice their religion in secret.

The G.A.R. was the largest association of Union veterans to exist after the war. Begun in 1866, membership reached its peak in 1890, with the last member dying in 1956. Membership was limited to “Soldiers and sailors of the United States Army, Navy or Marine Corps.” Individuals must have served between April 12, 1861 and April 9, 1866 in the “war for suppression of the rebellion, and those having been honorably discharged therefrom.” The organization created departments on a state level, one per state. Each year the departments would requested the death rolls from local branches for those who had passed. These rolls were usually published in the annual Journal. Each year’s listing was usually a compilations of those who had passed the year before its issue. In other words, someone who died in 1901 probably did not get listed until the publication at the end of 1902.

Sometimes the Journals listed obituaries for the deceased. These are not included in this book. However, where they did appear the author made a reference note and has provided an appendix listing to the original Journal reference for those who have an associated obituary. In addition to the Introduction, which elaborates the preceding information, page ix lists abbreviations the reader will encounter throughout the book. The author also provides a brief “How to Use This Book” page. Here are the basics from this section:

• Records are listed alphabetically, with all three states grouped together
• The last column for each record provides the reference data from which Journal of the Annual Encampment from which the record was extracted
• How to follow the reference for which Post the person served at or in
• Additional information regarding G.A.R. members may exist in those cases where original G.A.R. records have survived

These death roll records are another great piece to the puzzle of the lost 1890 census. Leads to information missing in the lost census may be found through these death roll records, and other G.A.R. held information.

PARKERSBURG [West Virginia] – One year ago, representatives of the Wood County Historical and Preservation Society volunteered to research existing death records and document those interred at Wood County’s pauper’s cemetery. That completed document was turned over to the Wood County Commission Monday.

Copies of the record will be sent to the West Virginia Department of Culture and History, made available at the courthouse, Wood County Library and may be put online at a future date at www.woodcountywv.com.

Bob Enoch, president of the society along with Jeff Little, with the society presented the documentation containing nearly 800 names of those buried at the Wood County Poor Farm Cemetery, which is located at Cedar Grover in the parking lot area of West Virginia University at Parkersburg.

“The earliest burials there we have are in 1888. There are another 25 years or so of burials that we have no records for, the county purchased the poor farm property back in 1864,” Enoch said. He noted there was a fire in February 1950 in the County Infirmary building and if records back then were kept, they were probably destroyed in that fire.

Lucky for me… I just happened to have all kinds of family living in Oregon, Colorado, and Virginia in 1940. This is all very exciting for me. Thanks to over 100,000 volunteers, my family history is expanding rapidly.

I did not know specifically where my father lived in Oregon in 1940 until today. With my grandson, Nicholas, in one arm I stopped by the FamilySearch.org booth at the NGS Conference and did a quick check of the index for the 1940 Oregon census. I found him instantly. I’d known that he lived in the same home with his sister and niece. However, I didn’t know or I’d forgotten that my twice-widowed grandmother, Nellie, also lived with them. One tiny tidbit that I found fascinating was that Dad (Theodore Meitzler) was farming, and rented their home for $5 a month. He married my mother to following January 1 (1941).

The following News Release gives more details:

SALT LAKE CITY, May 09, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) — The 1940 U.S. Census Community Project announced today the availability of a free, searchable index of 1940 U.S. census records for six U.S. states, including Delaware, Colorado, Kansas, Oregon, Virginia and New Hampshire. Records for these states are now searchable by name, location and family relations thanks to the efforts of more than 100,000 volunteers nationwide.

“For the past month, Community Project partners have worked to establish the first free, searchable database of 1940 U.S. census records made possible entirely through the hard work of volunteers,” said Josh Taylor, spokesperson for the 1940 U.S. Census Community Project. “We’re proud to bring easily searchable 1940 U.S. census records for Delaware, Colorado, Kansas, Oregon, Virginia and New Hampshire online for people to learn about their ancestors and life and times in these states more than 72 years ago.”

Since April 2, Community Project volunteers have indexed more than 45 million records and this number continues to grow quickly as more than 10,000 volunteers sign up each week. Those interested in lending a hand can learn more and sign up to be an official 1940 U.S. census volunteer indexer at the 1940 census website (the1940census.com). The project will release searchable records for individual states on an ongoing basis with an aim to make the entire 1940 U.S. census searchable by the end of 2012.

The 1940 U.S. Census Community Project is a joint initiative between the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), Archives.com, FamilySearch.org, findmypast.com, ProQuest and other leading genealogy organizations. Thanks to advancements in technology and to volunteers nationwide, Project partners and volunteers can lend a voice to countless untold stories of their ancestors living, working and persevering as the “Greatest Generation.”

“When you index U.S. census records, what you’re essentially doing is stepping back in time and walking in the shoes of the enumerator some 72 years prior,” said Megan Smolenyak, spokesperson for the 1940 U.S. Census Community Project. “The indexing experience is much like walking down a street, ringing doorbells and learning about a specific neighborhood in 1940. Only now, volunteers can explore these fascinating records from the comfort of our own homes.”
