Mixed Information and Thoughts

Mixed Information and Thoughts.

There are some great places to look for information that has been shared with us.  Hoping you are using it for researching your troubled spots.

Later years research and earlier years research sources.

A major group of information has been posted by some various known people.

Do you follow any of the  Societies or groups on Facebook for genealogy?  It has somewhat replaced what we used to do on the old Golden Gate Forum.  That person just recently passed and it was with sadness I learned this.

So I am going to throw you a curve.  Remember back to your youth, what was your Christmas like, hard, easy or not at all  due to WAR period.  To me we seemed to do one WAR after the other. We barely got the people home and they were going to Korea, then they were going to Vietnam.



Enjoy these they are so traditional in my family.

Government is Creating a PROBLEM again.Records FEES being increased????

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/federal-proposal-would-jack-up-the-cost-of-researching-ancestors/?fbclid=IwAR3RYpEw7GYgm7bLTUEfZlKl5ncUicCpzbdDmDbnydoaJgMy4QAtdAhspME

They want to increase fees for records multi over what they are our activities will probably almost cease.  Think that is what they want????

Fees for records are going to go out of sight.  Google it, watch for it and please help stop a drastic change. Change a little ok but like this no.

Timelines and Christmas Letters, Correspondence

We had 7 in attendance of a wet, cool day. One, Cindy T brought a Xmas letter to share.
Some had never done this ever.

Gary Brock talked about the many things Wanda had done and put away that he wasn't aware of earlier.

So we discussed how to create a real useful piece of correspondence.

Not to much, not to little, clear and clean and concise.  

This applies to queries, and other pieces of correspondence.

Let's talk Xmas letter.

IF it is a genealogical relative, you should share your new finds and at least that you have them.

If not they are not interested in that but what your family did for the year.

I love using a calendar I use for yearly information.  It shares medical, birthdays, guests, surprise events, deaths, funerals etc. We had a wedding last year and a wedding this year.

If to busy at the time to enter in system you have it to go back to and verify. Distant birthdays, weddings, deaths are some times hard to file, due to how you feel about them and what is happening in your own world.

If you exchange medical knowledge with family members it needs added so no one is unaware of an allergy or reaction to a drug or procedure or newly discovered disease in family.

Not a long lengthy dialogue but mention it was brought to light and more information available if you wish to receive it.

We have many dear friends that keep us posted on their children now grown and their families. We look forward to learning how they are doing.

We have relatives that share family information and keeps us updated to events that may be coming up, ie births, marriages, school changes, graduations etc.

It can be a great running time line for your research papers.  Your future family members will be thankful for those letters.

We had a good time discussing various topics that apply to this.   Shared a Time line Paper, a Correspondence sheet,  Serious problems to be aware of: like many name spellings, boundary changes and no one's moved etc.  Some of these will be more seriously discussed in our Beginners
Classes we will be offering in the next year.

Also recruited more help to do these workshops and get beginners advice on needs.

Queries should be clean and simple also with added information to come later as requested or needed.

Name, place, dates, relationships are key in a query. The story should come later.

Christmas/Holiday Newsletters and Timelines

                                                   by Susi Pentico, Educational Chairperson CVGS.

Saturday, Lemon Grove Educational Meeting at 1 Pm to 4 Pm. CVGS come have fun. We will talk about TimeLines and Christmas/Holiday News letters. Virginia said today she never thought of her working calendar as a Timeline. It has saved my hide/brain more than once. Hope to see you there. Remember, a bowl of soup, a sandwich or a full blown meal so we can continue to be at this Restaurant for meetings monthly. Or a delicious piece of pie, YUMMMM.

Yes, Anna's Restaurant in Lemon Grove, CA.

Timelines are so important to fill in the blanks and pick up the pieces we miss when looking for answers to Brick Wall.

Some of the Genealogical Programs have Timelines on their systems.

As we were finalizing a new group of classes for the society, both helpers said they had forgotten some of the very key things we should be doing to move forward.

Yes, even the more experienced can by-pass steps but sooner or later it generally will haunt you.

Handouts will be available to share.

Looking forward to having a very interactive event like the last two months. We all learn more when we share more.

Season's Greetings to all. May this world be blessed.
