SCGS Writers Group Heavy rains cancelled our first December meeting. For the second, our topic was voice. Who (what kind of voice) tells your memoir or family history? Is it humorous? All-knowing? Resentful? Regretful? Let your angle show. Remember your tales are important. Many families are not interested in your accumulation of years of research, but who doesn't like a story? We all remember Washing - ton's cherry tree, the tale, but less of his true history. January held more on technique. Do you write in your own voice or formal, third person? To whom do you speak? You might speak directly to your reader, explaining what happened, and how you feel about it today. Try writing scenes with conversations: I probably said... or she might have replied... What is that moment of insight called the epiphany? Where does this take place? February discussions were on theme, plot, subject, topic, and moral of a story. How does theme differ from plot? It is hard to pin down. Themes are big topics like love, loss, good vs. evil, coming of age. Is your theme “What a wonderful life I’ve had” or “I seem to attract disaster?” Once you find the theme you’ll find your focus for interesting tales. We tried writing the same short paragraph in first, second, and third person. Most found second person (you did this, you did that) difficult. Upcoming Meetings (weekdays 12 – 2 p.m., Sundays 1 – 3 p.m.) Tuesday, March 1 Sunday, March 14 Tuesday, April 5 Sunday, April 10 Tuesday, May 3 Sunday, May 22 If you’d like to join the learning, sharing, and merriment (SCGS members only, please), be sure to e-mail me at [email protected].

2011 SCGS Volunteer Luncheon - May 14th, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. SCGS is an all-volunteer run organization. Without the efforts of so many people, this organization would not exist. There would be no facility, no resources to catalog and shelve, no webservices, no librarians to help, and no JAMBOREE! Each year we honor the volunteers at a special luncheon to pay tribute to their hard work and dedication. This year the luncheon will take place on Saturday, May 14, 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the SCGS library. Feel free to bring your favorite food to share with others. Volunteers, this is your day to have fun visiting with the many friends that help make our society a success. So please join us in celebrating a job well done. If you have any questions, contact Heidi Ziegler at [email protected].

SPRING 2011 THE SEARCHER 57 — Searcher — How to Create and Use a GEDCOM By Cheri Mello

The acronym GEDCOM is derived from the words forming a user group for your genealogy software program. Genealogy Data COMmunication. It was developed in the Below are some screen shots of some of the most popular 1980s by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints as a genealogy software programs showing the beginning steps of platform for the various genealogy programs to share data. creating a GEDCOM. Although it is written in a type of code that can be read in a text file, it is best used when the file containing data is imported Family Tree Maker into one’s own genealogy program. More background infor - Click on File, then Export File, then Entire File… mation can be found in Dick Eastman’s Encyclopedia of Genealogy: http://www.eogen.com/GEDCOM The last version of GEDCOM that was developed was ver - sion 5.5, released 15 years ago. No other platform exists in all current genealogy software programs to enable reading some - one else’s file. Some current genealogy software programs have their own technology to read another genealogy software pro - gram, but they cannot read all genealogy software programs or older versions of genealogy software programs. If you have found a new cousin who has a lot of informa - tion, you will want to exchange your data. If this new cousin uses a different program than you do, or uses a different com - puter platform than you do (uses a Mac instead of a PC or vice versa), you’ll want an easy way to share this data. If your new-found cousin can send you a GEDCOM Legacy Family Tree instead of snail mailing their pedigree charts to you, you won’t Click on File, then Export To, then GEDCOM File… have to type in all their data into your own software file. Or perhaps you have decided to upload your work to the family trees on WorldConnect on Rootsweb. Maybe you have decided you would like to use Ancestry.com for your genealogy software program. Perhaps you have a DNA match and need to see where that match occurs. These are some reasons that it is necessary to know how to make a GEDCOM. All genealogy software programs have an option to create a GEDCOM. It is located under the menu word File. Next, the words Export or Export To… will be selected. From there, most programs have wizards or a series of screens to walk the user through the creation of a GEDCOM. The Help file may be accessed to assist users in creating a GEDCOM.

The Southern California Genealogy Society (SCGS) cur - Continued on page 59 rently has three users groups (Legacy, RootsMagic, and The Master Genealogist) who are available to help. Their meeting dates can be found at http://www.scgsgenealogy.com/Comput - erSIG.htm as well as listed elsewhere in The Searcher. New user groups are also encouraged to form. Being an expert with your genealogy software program is not necessary, just the abil - ity to lead a meeting is all that is required. Contact Heidi Ziegler at [email protected] if you are interested in

58 THE SEARCHER SPRING 2011 — Searcher —

Continued from page 58 Reunion As the GEDCOM is being created, pay attention to where Click on File, then Import/Export, then Export GEDCOM… the genealogy software program is saving the file. Most geneal - ogy software programs have a default area within the file folder system on the C:/ drive where the file is saved. If navigating and trying to find that file folder is difficult, the Save location can be changed to another location, such as the Desktop. Once the file has been located, double clicking and seeing what was created is fruitless, unless one is into reading code. Instead, try creating a new Family File or Project, and name it Test. Then go back to your genealogy software program and click on the menu File, then Import… Again, allow the soft - ware to walk you through the process. This will allow one to see what was created by the GEDCOM and how the import was handled. After the GEDCOM has been created, it can be attached to an email and sent to that new-found cousin or uploaded to Reunion screen shot courtesy of Kathy Cardoza of Woodland, WA WorldConnect, Ancestry, or Family Tree DNA (FTDNA). For RootsMagic this example, FTDNA will be used. Click on File, then Export… FamilyTree DNA users will log into their personal page. In the left column, under the heading of Tools, the words GEDCOM-Family Tree can be found. The Browse button will be clicked. From there, navigation to the saved file needs to occur. If navigation is difficult as stated above, saving the file to the Desktop will provide an easy way to locate the file. If it was saved to the Desktop when the GEDCOM was created, navigating up to the Desktop is all that is required. Once the file is located, the Upload button will be clicked. Read the information on the screen so that the DNA test per - son will be selected. A choice to hide the details of the living (recommended) or to show all will also be options to select from. If you still feel insecure about following these steps, see if a computer savvy relative, neighbor or friend will help. They The Master Genealogist don’t need to know the genealogy software, they only need to Click on File, then Export… watch for the Save or Save In screen and be able to assist you in saving the GEDCOM file to your desktop. They can also be of further assistance and help in navigating to find the file when you go to upload your file to Ancestry, WorldConnect, or FTDNA. Sharing data in the genealogy community allows all ge - nealogists to compare working theories on brick wall ancestors, find new cousins, and further our research. Currently, the most efficient way to share across all platforms is to use the GED - COM feature that comes with genealogy software programs.

The 1892 Great Register of Voters Living at The National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, Los Angeles The 1892 Great Register of Voters for Los Angeles County, California contains more than 27,500 records. Of these, approximately 12,000 are for voters who resided in the City of Los Angeles and the remaining 15,500 represent voters living in The Country. At that time, The Country was defined as any place in the county other than in the City of Los Angeles. (By contrast, note that in 1884 there were approximately 7,000 persons living in The Country.) The registers were the result of California’s Registry Act of 1866 in which all voters were required to register. Not until the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in 1920 were females allowed to vote, explaining why only males are listed. In addition to name, age, place of birth, occupation and place of residence, the registers provide naturalization information in sufficient detail to show the date of naturalization and the court conferring the naturalization. The 1892 Great Register contains a wealth of personal information regarding each person, namely, height (in feet and inches), complexion shade, eye and hair color, and distinguishing marks. The Southern California Genealogical Society’s library presently has microfilms of the bi-annually printed Great Registers for Los Angeles County for the period 1873–1896. If you’re performing research in Los Angeles County for that time period, perhaps a visit to our library to peruse the registers would help! Please note that it is anticipated that the entire extraction of the 1892 Great Register will be included in the upcoming Members-Only section of our website, presently under construction. Lookups can be performed by the SCGS Research team and can be ordered via the SCGS webiste. Established in 1887, the Pacific Branch of the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers in Los Angeles had 300 acres, then increased to 520 acres that included a cemetery. It was later renamed Sawtelle Veterans Home. The following pages reflect the men living there in 1892. Part I (A-Hig) - Spring 2011.

DATED MATERIAL

Our Motto: There is no truth without proof.

President’s Message

In this second decade of the 21st Century, genealogical societies are at an important crossroads, facing what may be the first deliberate reduction of what I call a paper- and book-based system that has been in place for centuries. On the upside, technologies (e.g., the Internet, Google books, Ancestry.com, mass digitization, and “social network“ indexing) have accelerated the amount of genealogical information available to the average genealogist, resulting in more geneal - ogy successes—a Good Thing! On the downside, in part due to the challenging economic times as well as these tech trends, genealogical societies and libraries are left wondering what the value is of their brick-and-mortar establishments. Now more than ever we need to reinforce the importance of genealogical entities and establish a future that looks beyond this transition period. Now is the time to re-examine the ways in which our Society is supported, financed, managed, promoted, and maintained, and to ask if this is the best way forward. We do know that when fully realized, our vision of the future will result in a Society that will: Celebrate the diverse heritage of our membership; Teach the tenants of solid genealogical research; Preserve records and provide access to them; and Connect individuals. This message is a call to action – to urge you to become an active stakeholder in your Society. Our future depends on it. Our all-volunteer-run organization is full of opportunities to get involved. Please consider getting involved in 2011 and also spread the word to your own network of friends, family, and others. I look forward to hearing from you by e-mail, [email protected], or at one of our upcoming volunteer seminars. Respectfully, Heidi Ziegler, President
