- On the Road… Yet Again

This week’s newsletter was written in hotel rooms, in airport waiting areas, and on board Northwest Airlines’ big Airbuses. In fact, it seems that most of the newsletters in recent weeks have been written in similar conditions. I usually enjoy travel but I’ll admit that all these trips make me woefully aware of the technology limitations afforded travelers. To wit, I’m going through a spell of gadget deprivation.

I am now headed home and will be there long enough to send this newsletter, do my laundry, and mow the lawn. By mid-week I will head to Toronto to attend the annual conference of the Ontario Genealogical Society, returning home (hopefully) in time to send next week’s newsletter. This will be my fourth country on three continents visited in four weeks. In any case, that should be the last trip for a while.

I also have some plans for changing the format of this newsletter. Once I get home and settled in for a week or two, I should have time to devote to some new technology.

- NGS Conference in Sacramento is a Success

I spent four days this week at the annual conference of the (U.S.) National Genealogical Society. These events usually are well attended and well executed. This year’s event was far more interesting than usual, however.

If you have been reading this newsletter for the past few months, you already know that the National Genealogical Society (NGS) has been going through turmoil with abrupt leadership changes and financial challenges. In short, the society’s funds have dropped nearly to zero; the president, secretary and treasurer all resigned, and the Executive Director/CEO was placed on unpaid administrative leave. The remaining board members have stepped in and taken over the society’s business operations. You can read all the details in past editions of this newsletter at http://www.eogn.com/search; search on the words "turmoil" and "national genealogical society."

Given the challenges facing the society, holding a national conference within a few months after the shake-up was a monumental effort. Indeed, for a while the rumor mill was awash in conflicting reports. There were claims that the conference would not be held, other claims that the society could not pay the conference bills, and much, much more. Like many rumors, these turned out to be untrue.

In fact, the 2004 annual conference was completed this week with more than 1,000 paid attendees. That number is lower than usual, although better than some of this year’s predictions. The Genealogical & Historical Council of Sacramento Valley was the local host of the conference and obviously was a big asset to the national organization. At a meeting of NGS members held late on the last day of the conference, President Ann Carter Fleming, Treasurer Patricia O’Brien Shawker, Secretary Sheila Benedict, and others were all smiling broadly when they reported that the conference was "in the black." Due to excellent support from the genealogical community plus serious cost-cutting efforts by the NGS board, the 2004 conference is profitable. All bills are being paid, and a modest profit will be added to the NGS treasury.

To be sure, there were several "rough edges" at this conference. There were scattered reports of audio visual aids not being available in the right place at the right time, admission tickets to lunches sometimes were missing, and other mix-ups were seen as well. There is a long story about a box of preprinted admission tickets and luncheon tickets sent via UPS a week earlier but never delivered to the conference site in California. UPS’ online tracking system indicates that the box in question has now gathered more frequent flyer miles than Dick Eastman! The box of pre-printed tickets never did arrive in Sacramento.

To be honest, I was surprised at how few mix-ups there were. I knew that the conference was being managed by a skeleton crew, most of whom had been assigned their tasks only recently. There are always a few mix-ups at even the best planned events. I would not have been surprised had this conference turned into a real fiasco. I must say that the problems at this year’s conference were far less than what I had expected. The NGS staff and the Genealogical & Historical Council of Sacramento Valley should be proud of what they accomplished under difficult conditions.

Thanks to this year’s successful event, the National Genealogical Society is now confident that next year’s NGS conference will be held as scheduled in Nashville, Tennessee, on June 1 through 4. You might want to circle those dates now on your calendar.

- Newsletter Editor Pamela Cerutti Wins Award

Some of you may recognize the name Pamela Clark Cerutti. She has edited almost every issue of this newsletter, converting my ramblings into readable text. Pam's assistance has been valuable over the years.

Pam Cerutti also is the editor of the Morse Society's newsletter for Morse, Mors, Morss, and Moss descendants. Pam not only edits that newsletter, but she also creates much of its content. This week, Pam Cerutti and the Morse Society Newsletter were recognized by the National Genealogical Society. The Morse Society Newsletter won first place in the NGS annual competition for best family association newsletter.

Congratulations Pam! I always knew that you were the best, but am pleased that others now recognize your abilities.

- Alvy Ray Smith Wins Award of Excellence

Alvy Ray Smith is a man of many talents: artist, engineer, Academy Award winner, and genealogist. He co-founded (with Steve Jobs) Pixar Studios (Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc. and Finding Nemo) and Altimura, Inc. Earlier he served as Director of Computer Graphics Research at Lucas Films. He also was the first Graphics Fellow at Microsoft from 1994 to 1999. He can now add another honor to his list: winner of the National Genealogical Society's Award for Excellence.

Last year Alvy Ray Smith published Dr. John Durand of Derby, Connecticut and His Family, over 580 pages of documented material, referenced with over 1900 footnotes, eleven appendices with late 17th and early 18th century transcriptions, and supporting bibliography. The book also contains a full name index, full place index and more than 100 illustrations, most of them in color. Quoting from the book jacket, Dr. Ralph J. Crandall, Executive Director, New England Historic Genealogical Society, describes the book as "a brilliant, interdisciplinary genealogy that is striking in its thoroughness, breadth, and intellectual rigor." He adds, "Dr. Smith has left no stone unturned in his study of this early New England Huguenot family. This is a classic, a superb analytical genealogy, that also introduces the reader to the Durand family through beautifully written biographical profiles and myriad examples from their writings, artwork, and other family objects."

Dr. John Durand was born into a Huguenot family in La Rochelle, France, in 1664. The persecution of Huguenots culminated in Louis XIV revoking the Edict of Nantes in 1685, forcing most of them to flee France. In 1698 in New York City, Dr. John Durand married Elizabeth Bryan, the daughter of a wealthy merchant family, and settled soon after in Derby, New Haven County, Connecticut. This book details 490 descendants, with over 400 surnames intermarrying into the Durand family over three centuries.

Earlier honored under its extended title, Dr. John Durand (1664-1727) of Derby, Connecticut: His Family Through Four Generations, Featuring the Branch of His Youngest Son, Ebenezer Durand, Through Ten Generations to 2003 was also co-winner of the "New England Genealogy" Literary Awards Contest 2004, presented by the Connecticut Society of Genealogists last month. The book is published by Newbury Street Press.

- APG Honors Thomas W. Jones

The following is an announcement from the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG):

If you could pick any three words to describe genealogist Thomas W. Jones, Ph.D., CG, CGL, you might select these, "Example is leadership." Those words, uttered by Dr. Albert Schweitzer, perfectly fit Jones, who was given the 2004 Grahame T. Smallwood Jr. Award of Merit by the Association of Professional Genealogists (APG).

APG President J. Mark Lowe, CG, announced the recipient and presented the award to Jones at the group's luncheon in Sacramento, California, on May 21, 2004 during the National Genealogical Society Conference in the States. Since 1981, the association has regularly presented the honor to a member who has demonstrated personal commitment and outstanding service to the organization.

"Tom Jones leads by example," according to APG's Smallwood Award Committee. "He has worked in a leadership role to increase genealogical standards through his commitment to volunteer activities, lecturing, writing, and teaching genealogical research methodology."

The Fairfax, Virginia resident is widely known for his lectures and articles on using case studies to demonstrate genealogical problem-solving and using the Genealogical Proof Standard, a method to evaluate the credibility of research conclusions.

Jones, co-editor of the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, has more than forty years of research and teaching experience in genealogy and education. He served as an APG trustee from 1999 through 2002 and is the immediate past president of the Board for Certification of Genealogists. A Certified Genealogist (CG) and Certified Genealogical Lecturer (CGL), Jones earned a doctorate degree in early childhood special education at the University of Pittsburgh. Since 1981, he has been a faculty member at Gallaudet University, Washington, D.C., where he instructs students specializing in multiple disabilities and early education.

APG, devoted to supporting high standards in genealogy, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. Established in 1979 in Utah, it is the leading worldwide professional organization of genealogists and related professionals. The group has 21 chapters, more than 1,400 members, and is based in Westminster, Colorado, near Denver.

- New Products and Services Seen at NGS Conference

Due to my own scheduling challenges, I did not get to visit with all the vendors at this year’s NGS conference. However, those I did talk with all seemed pleased with the event, even with a lower attendance than most past conferences. In fact, one vendor who has exhibited at both NGS and other genealogy conferences in past years reported that they had the highest sales this week of any event they had ever attended. I am sure this was not true for all vendors, but it is still reassuring to hear of successful experiences.

Here are a few of the newer things that I saw as I wandered the Exhibit Hall:

RootsMagic version 2.0 was proudly displayed by Bruce Buzbee. Bruce reports that this new version of his popular Windows genealogy program will ship May 24 (this week). The new version includes a new optional "Using RootsMagic 2.0" book that is also available now. I obtained a copy of version 2.0 and expect to review it in this newsletter in the near future. In the meantime, you can read more at http://www.rootsmagic.com.

S&N Genealogy Supplies is an English producer of CD-ROM and Web-based genealogy information. It was great to see a British company exhibiting with a large booth at the genealogy conference in California. Most of S&N’s products contain data from the British Isles. However, one exception is the "History of the United States of America" which is now available on CD-ROM. Again, I expect to review this disk in the near future.

Pearl Street Software was a new exhibitor this year. The company proudly displayed Family Tree Legends, a genealogy program for Windows that has been available for several months. (See my past review at http://www.eogn.com/archives/news0414.htm#FTL.) The company also had a bit of information about their soon-to-be-released Family Tree Legends Records Collection that was announced in this newsletter two weeks ago. You can read more at http://www.familytreelegends.com/records.

Genealogical Publishing has a number of new books available these days. Two of the major new works involve royalty: Gary Boyd Roberts' The Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants and Douglas Richardson's Plantagenet Ancestry. The Royal Descents of 600 Immigrants contains 571 pages of charts containing the best royal descents – that is, from the most recent king – of 650 immigrants to the American colonies or the United States who were themselves notable or left descendants who were notable in American history. Plantagenet Ancestry provides detailed information about descents from the Plantagenet Kings of England for over 185 individuals who emigrated from the British Isles to the North American colonies in the seventeenth century. It combines research in original documents with the use of published literature and features new ancestral lines for virtually all American colonists who possess royal ancestry, with many corrections to existing lines. Richardson’s book is broader in scope than seventeenth-century colonial genealogy, however, covering every prominent family in medieval England. Both authors were at the conference and were signing copies of their books.

My Ancestors is a Utah-based company that provides several services and products to genealogists. The company was showing Address+ for Genealogists, a Windows program to keep addresses, calendar, research logs, To Do list, contacts, correspondence, and memberships in one place. The program also contains more than 7000 addresses for societies, libraries, archives, vital record departments, and U.S. county record offices. The same company is also selling The Family and Local History Handbook, a 448 page book from England that provides advice and information from leading experts on family, local and military history, record offices, archives, libraries, registrars of births, marriages and deaths, heritage sites, museums, and cemeteries, together with over five thousand useful addresses. Details may be found at http://www.myancestorsfound.com.

Family Time Capsules is a service to capture and preserve your current family culture in a documentary for now and for generations to come. The goal of Family Time Capsules is to help bring families closer together. The company provides on-camera interviews and your family photos to preserve the images, stories, and life philosophies of all family members – regardless of where they might live – delivered on DVD (digital video disk). The company's products will obviously appeal to individuals and families. However, they also have experience with oral history projects for museums, baseball teams, local societies, and others. If you are involved with a 501c non-profit organization, Family Time Capsules may be able to work with you to obtain funding for oral history projects. Product details are available at http://www.familytimecapsules.com.

Fampres almost did not exhibit at this year's NGS conference. I saw the company's products at the Society of Genealogists' show in London three weeks ago and mentioned them in that week's newsletter. However, the airlines lost some luggage and, as a result, the samples of these beautiful wall charts were not available until the last day of the conference. If you missed them at the conference, look at http://www.fampres.com to learn more.

Speaking of lost luggage, the National Institute for Genealogical Studies had a similar story. The company's entire show inventory was shipped in advance but never made it to Sacramento. As a result, company owner Louise St Denis was only able to exhibit a few copies that she wisely had carried in her luggage. For all others, she had to refer potential buyers to the company's Web site at http://www.genealogicalstudies.com.

Frustration Solutions, LLC will soon release version 2.0 of their U.S. Cities Galore CD-ROM. The new version will add 50,000 more U.S. cities, towns, and counties; allow more preferences for user control; and also allow for direct importing of data from Personal Ancestral File. Of course, GEDCOM capability will remain for use with other genealogy programs.

- The Best Part of the Conference: The Party After

After most of the larger genealogy conferences, I typically invite readers of this newsletter out to a "Dutch Treat" dinner at a local watering hole. This week I was delighted when 22 newsletter readers joined me at a nearby micro brewery for food and various liquid refreshments. We had a private room in the back of the restaurant where we could be as raucous as we wished without bothering the other patrons in the restaurant. (Actually, I think the restaurant’s main room was as noisy as ours!)

To those who were there, I’d like to say, "Thank you for the excellent end to a delightful week." To everyone else, ask any of the attendees about the "game" we played when the bill arrived. It seems we dined more economically than what anyone realized.

- Update: Texas Libraries' Funding Efforts

The following is a message I received this week from Mic Barnette:

Dear Dick and All Your Readers:

Thank you and your readers very much for your support in publicizing and their help with our overcoming budgetary problems here in Texas.

As stated in your e-zine last week, the campaign to raise funds to retain Heritage Quest in our TexShare program was successful. We needed a total of $243,000 in pledges for next fiscal year to retain the Heritage Quest subscription. The State Library has notified me we actually had $262,690 in pledges. So, HQ has been retained.

We all need to be vigilant in watching our legislators. In the last legislative season, our governor came to the legislature asking for budgetary cuts and was quite successful in his goals. The problem for genealogists was our budget for the state library and many of its programs were slashed. This year a number of programs have had to be cut or have been made useless. Luckily, we were able to have a positive resolution with TexShare, at least for another year. I have no idea what will transpire for next year.

Thanks,
MIC Barnette

- Xerox Gives $1M to Establish Library at Freedom Center

Xerox Corp. donated $1 million to help create the John Parker Library at Cincinnati's new National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. The gift was presented by Xerox Foundation Vice President Joseph Cahalan.

The library is named after John Parker, who lived in Ripley, Ohio, from 1850 until his death in 1900. He was an ironsmith and foundry master who purchased his own freedom and then helped an estimated 1,000 slaves obtain their own freedom as well. The library will house research tools, a digital archive of Underground Railroad materials, including the records of Cincinnati's Union Baptist Church, and a genealogy research area.

This latest gift brings the Freedom Center's capital campaign to $101 million, just a few million away from its goal of $110 million.

The 158,000-square-foot National Underground Railroad Freedom Center is now under construction and will open August 23 in Cincinnati on the banks of the Ohio River.

- (+) Duck Family Tree

The following is "preview" of a Plus Edition-only article:

I know many people must have asked themselves these burning questions: Who were the parents of Huey, Dewey and Louie? Are they really the nephews of Donald? How does Uncle Scrooge fit into the family tree? Who was the original progenitor? Now those questions have been answered!

- Locusts in Colonial Times

Residents of the eastern United States are already aware that this is the year of the locust. These unwanted pests appear in large numbers once every 17 years and devour foliage.

Locusts certainly are not a new problem. In her book, The Mayflower, Kate Caffrey wrote, "In May 1633, Plymouth had a plague of locusts." Described as flies as large as wasps, the locusts "came out of holes in the ground and swarmed through the woods, where they ate the green things and made such a constant yelling noise as made all the woods ring of them, and ready to deaf the hearers. The Indians said sickness would follow. It did. All through June, July and August the smallpox raged. More than twenty died, including Thomas Blossom and Richard Masterson."

While today’s pests certainly are obnoxious and unwanted, perhaps we should pause for a moment to reflect on the crises created for our ancestors by locusts and other natural hardships.

My thanks to Lissa Soergel for the above information.

ABOUT SPAM FILTERS:

Be aware that the biggest problem faced when sending e-mail newsletters is spam filters in e-mail servers. Although the problem plagues many, many newsletters and other types of perfectly legitimate email, this newsletter seems to be particularly susceptible. It is quite long, and contains numerous examples of the kinds of things that spam blacklists, in their infinite wisdom, have deemed to be "spam like." Therefore, numerous email servers will delete this newsletter under the assumption that it is spam.

If you all of a sudden stop receiving your copy of the newsletter (and this happens more than you might think), don't just assume I skipped an issue or there's something wrong with the newsletter's distribution. I rarely skip an issue without noting that in advance. If you stop receiving the newsletter, chances are that it's not a problem with your subscription; it's a problem with your mail server or your spam filter. That is the number one cause of newsletter subscription problems.
