For Your Information

To Everyone,
The next meeting of the Delta County Genealogical Society will be
at the Family History Center on the Second Wednesday of May (May 10th)
at 7:00 PM at 1021 S. 14th St.; Escanaba MI
The November meeting was informal and one member showed their DNA results
and then others joined in--More real information about 'Who are You'
The discusion then digressed to the chapter on reverse geneology--and it was
suggested that each of us write a a mini autobiograpy for one of out decendents
that explains 'Who are you'--
For a decendent maybe 50, 70 or so years in the future.
At a previous meeting a geneologist submitted a child's photo taken at a photographic studio in Escanaba, andshe would like us to identify the child and then return the photo to the family. No progress to report.
The E book was talked about.
Other previous items were not talked about; newsletter editor, correspondence secretary isstill needed
There were no suggestions from the floor.
Thanks
Richard

Introduction
We had scary event happen a few years ago on a sunnybeautiful Sunday afternoon, a state patrol car drove down our driveway and the officer told us that theforest about a half mile down the road was on fire and it may reach us shortly IF the wind shifts.
Thus, please vacate you property within 15 minutes- the fire fighters will try to save your home-- IFthe wind shifts --but they will know that you are safe from harm!
Wow--The only things that could not be replaced by insurance were the family pictures-in shoe boxes andpictures on the wall and tables.
Thus photos, pets etc. evacuated the property!
The good news; the wind did not shift,the fire was put out, and people,pets and photos returned.
The project-save family pictures
-Step 1 Scan all the family photos -into the computer -the scannerassigns a number (mark that number on back of the photo) --this takes a long time but there are services thatwill do the scanning tor you.
Step 2- In the computer identify(rename) photos With:
--When (date 2015-12-15)
--Who (names-JohnMary)
--What(activity-Picnic)
--Where (Stonnington
-- number (from scanner or camera)

Prolog
When photos and documents are named. one can sort them(in the computer) by name , date etc and put copies in separate folders if so desired.
Comment fromDave
Hi Don,
I have found that changing the name of the picture or document from the assigned namethe scanner has given it soon after it has been scanned works the best for me! I don't keep any of the scannernumbers and don't date the photo's (many I have no idea when they were taken). I name the file I put themin with a date and family name, the individual pics or docs are named as you described without a date orthe scanner numbers!
I think it would be a good idea to have instructions on tagging records andimporting and exporting genealogy data via GEDCOM files in the E-book also.

Chapter XXII------Private Data Sources
Researching Roman Catholic Church Records
by Fr. Darryl J. Pepin,
Pastor - St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, Bark River, Michigan
Roman Catholic Church records can offer a wealth of information for genealogists. They are particularlyuseful when official when civil records of life events like birth, marriage or death are not readily available.Tracing these records for your Catholic ancestors can sometimes be challenging, but worth the work. The recordsfor all Catholic churches are usually kept on the premises of the Church. When a church is closed, most oftenthe sacramental register books are transferred to the Catholic Church that is nearest the closed church. Insome dioceses and instances, records of closed churches are transferred to the diocesan offices.
The Catholic Church keeps records of all it's sacramental events. This is required of every Catholic Church asmandated by the Church's law, called 'Canon Law.' These records are kept in books that are called 'SacramentalRegisters.' These registers are consider private and are not usually open for public view. The reason for thisis sometimes confidential information is recorded that is not to be made public. (I will explain this a laterin this article.)
The record books kept by the Catholic Church are these:
Baptisms
First Communion
Confirmation
Marriage
Death
Baptisms usually took place shortly after the child was born. Baptismal records include the child's full name, parents'names (including the mother's maiden name), date of birth, place of birth, date of baptism, names of godparents(also called sponsors), and the name of the priest (or deacon) who performed the baptism. Other notations orinformation may be included such as confirmation, marriage and ordinations (if the person became a priest ordeacon) and religious professions (if the person became a religious brother, monk, nun or sister.)
>
First Communion usually takes place when a person is about seven years of age. The First Communionregisters usually records the name of the child, age, parents. It could also include baptismal information,place of baptism and place of birth.
Confirmation is where the person is anointed with Sacred Chrism(a holy oil) usually by a bishop and usually when the person is in high school, although there was a time whenConfirmation might have been done in lower grades, especially years ago. The records include theperson's name, parents' names, sponsor's name. It can also include the place and date of baptism and place anddate of birth.
Marriage records list date of marriage, names of the bride (including maiden name) andgroom and names of the two witnesses and the priest. Other details on the registry may include: place and dateof birth, place and date of baptism, parent's names (including mother's maiden name), parents' residences.Traditionally (years ago) the wedding was held at the parish of the bride, but with a more mobile societythese days, it could also be in the parish of the groom.
Death records are kept when a member of alocal parish dies. These records usually contain the name of the deceased, the date of death, place of deathand where the person is buried. It may also contain other information such as spouse, parents, next of kin aswell as cause of death and maybe even the funeral home that conducted the funeral services.
br>As stated,while each parish keeps its own records (and most still do), keep in mind that many early churches didn't havea priest-in-residence, and sometimes their record books traveled with them. You may also need to check therecords of other nearby parishes, especially if the church is listed as a 'mission' church or parish.
Now a word about how Catholic Church records are private records. By church law, the sacramental registersare not 'open' for public research. If you wish to learn information contained in them, you will need to contactthe church and request that research be done. Why is this? First, there may be some private information that isnot to be made public. That would be such as in cases of adoption, secret marriages and sacramental eventsthat the person or parties did not want to make public, such switching from a protestant denomination toCatholic, or maybe even a legal name change for some reason.
In requesting any sacramental informationfrom a Catholic Church you should supply as much information you have about a given person. This would be ates of birth (or suspected date of birth) parents, age, etc. The more information you give the betterchances of having a record found. It is would not be proper to say, 'Give me all the information you have inyour records on the 'Smith' family.' Some Catholic Churches do not have someone who could spend the time do thatamount of research! Many times it is the parish secretary or the priest himself who will have to hunt your recorddown. Remember, these persons' work keep them quite busy and they do not have the time to sit and dig throughrecords for hours on end! When requesting a record, be specific as to who the person(s) is/are and as muchinformation you have on them. Another thing, please be aware that the time between requesting and actually receiving records may take some time. So, please be patient. Do not ask to 'rush' the search.
Be aware that when a record is found, more often than not, you will receive a 'transcript' or 'certificate'of what is in the register book. Very rarely will a Church send you an actual photo-copy of the record.This is due to having many records on a single page and the need to protect the privacy of the other recordson that page. So do not request a photo-copy of the actual record itself.
Be aware, too, that sometimesthe priest (or his delegate) wrote the name and the information to the best of their ability. Sometimes, names,places of birth and other such information may be misspelled. If it was an ethnic parish (French, Italian,Polish, etc.) the priest may have spelled names and places the way he thought they were spelled. This doesnot invalidate the record in any way. If this happens, you could ask the church to write the correct spellingin pencil in the actual record. Be aware that the record itself has to stay the way it was written.
If youknow the name and location of your ancestor's parish and it still exists, the preferred way to request recordsis to send a friendly and precise written request for the record you are looking for. Include as many detailsabout your ancestor as you can! Besides the name, include the following if you have it: birth date,parent's names, marriage date, etc. (If dates are unknown, do your best to give a close estimate.)
If you don't have the name of the parish church, find where your ancestors lived. Consult a map of thearea and identify the possible Catholic churches in the area. Resources such as:
Kennedy Directory(a very large yearly published book that lists all Catholic Churchs in the United States).
On-line resources that may be helpful in finding a particular church would be:
ParishesOnline.com,
MassTimes.org or
USAChurch. These can be searched by town or zip code to help you look up churches in a particular area. You canalso use Google to find the church or diocese where the church may be. Many Catholic dioceseshave websites that list the churches that are part of it.
When researching Catholic Churches out outside of America different procedures may be required. Youwould need to contact the church to learn what requirements are needed so you can request recordinformation.
Again, you are remind that in most instances parish priests and staff are helpful, but they are alsovery busy. Their first priority is serving their congregation, not researching your genealogy.Understand that your request may be delayed, denied, or even go unanswered. It's also possiblethat a secretary or other staff member may not be familiar with the early records or have timeto go searching for them, especially if the records are not indexed by surname or are misfiled.Therefore, try not to request more than one to two records at a time and again, be very specific.Although most parishes will not typically charge for records, you should be prepared to pay a fee,if necessary. At the very least, it's always helpful to send a donation to cover any research timeand certificate costs. In addition, as is always the case, it is a very good idea to send aself-addressed stamped envelope with your request.
Other information Catholic Churches may have are church history booklets and photo albums.Also, don't overlook church and local histories, anniversary booklets, and Catholic newspapers.Sometimes the local public library may have copies of these as well as local historical societies.
Now a word about the 'private' nature of Catholic Church records. Catholic sacramental recordsare, in reality, of a mixed nature - they are both private and public. They are private in that theywere created in circumstances presumed to be private and confidential. They are public in that theywill stand in civil law as valid and authentic evidence when an appropriate civil record does not exist.However, they are not 'public' in the sense that they are open to immediate examination and inspectionby anyone, such as the records found in a courthouse or public library. Sometimes, some confidentialevents happen, such as an adoption or a marriage where a couple needs to marry but without anyoneknowing about it. These instances are rare, but need to be kept private for special reasons
Conclusion
Researching your Roman Catholic ancestors may seem daunting at first, but don't be intimidated.Follow the procedures outline above, and perhaps, with a prayer or two and who knows, you'll geta bit of divine intervention to help you along the way to finding your ancestors and their informationfor your family tree!
God bless you!

When I started my genealogy hobby, over 30 years ago, I intendedto keep track of my first cousins! I had just purchased my first PC, a brand new 286! From the first entriesinto a genealogy share-ware program obtained from Bay de Noc Community College I knew that this would takea little longer than I originally thought!
After I entered all my aunts and uncles, grandparents, and allmy cousins, I looked at the information that still needed to be entered, which was a real eye opener.I started visiting my relatives that live nearby, asking the questions that needed answers to fill thevoids in my new dat abase. I imagine that most all genealogists feel that they should have questionedtheir grandiparents in more detail when they were with us.
I was lucky that I was the oldestgrandchild on both sides of my family. I knew my grandfathers and one grandmother very well. My Dad'sfather was my mentor for outdoor activities! he took me to our hunting camp, taught me the skills of fishiingand hunting from an early age. He often talked about his childhood in Borgvik, Sweden, hunting with hisfather, and the different types of game and fish they caught.
Things change as time moves on,I completed what I started out to do and got busy with other things in life. My oldest son asked for myinformation on the family several years later. I sent him a floppy with all that I had compiled. He couldn'tuse the information! The share-ware program did not exist anymore and he could not import the data or view itfrom the disk. My son did some research and located the company that had developed the share-ware program. Hesent them my data and they converted it to be compatible with their new program, Legacy Family Tree, whichI have used since. That was many PC computers ago and before the internet was so easy to use.
As I got more interested in genealogy several things happened, old relatives passed away, contactwas made with relatives in Sweden and Canada, the internet had more and more data to search, and my wifeand I were empty nesters finally! I still was not interested in joining any genealogy organization, butI had been aware that Pat Sundstrom, a fellow classmate and friend, was working on such an organizaition.
When I restarted my researcih, I learned that there were lots I didn't know about how to do the research.Organization and reucord keeping, citations needed for each individual, and now help from genealogist everywherearound ihe world via the internet. I joined 'DIS' genealogy society in Sweden, and searched their database andcontacted contributors to their database. It seems everyone in Sweden is a genealogist! Their records go backto the Reformation, when the Lutheran Church started keeping records.
Two of my sisters and I visited Sweden and were the guests of our cousin Hans Mjöberg and his wife Sonja.Hans was a wonderful host and gave us a tour of where our grandparents were born and raised, grandfather inBorgvik, Varmland, which is close to Karlstad, and grandmother in the small village of Kalv, Västergötland.We researched the church records for our family, took pictures of these records, and met almost all of ourgreat grandfathers descendants (my father's 1st cousins). It was a great trip, and for us Yoopers, it feltlike home! The topography of that part of Sweden is almost exactly like here in the Upper Peninsula, verywooded with lots of lakes, hills and small towns.
Now, after doing this hobby for many years, all my cousins, that I originally wanted to keep track of,send me family information about what's happening in their individual families! I've researched my wife'sside of the family and with the help of a couple of her cousins, who are genealogists, we have filled inmany of the blank spaces.
My genealogy program has a feature that allows me to search many databases over the internet.FamilySearch.org, FindaGrave.com, GenealogyBank.com and many others, without leaving the program!The public library in Escanaba has many family histories, including my mother's side of the family,which I have found mistakes because of the necessity of citations was ignored by that researcher!
For many years, my wife and I wintered in Zihuatanejo, Mexico. The internet was available in theapartments we rented and with life a lot slower down there, I was able to continue researching and makingcontacts with contributors to databases. One contact I made was a cousin in New Zealand who had emigratedfrom Canada. The same week I made contact with him, my sister informed me that her husband was going to NewZealand for a conference and she was accompanying him, a cousin in Denver emailed me that she had won a tripto New Zealand over the radio! I informed my sister and cousin of our relative in that country and my cousindid set up a meeting and had lunch with him.
Strange coincidences happen when doing this research!My brother told me to quit finding all these distant cousins, he has to work with many of them! '
