You may not know it, but you are already collecting information for your family tree. Your personal memories and the stories you have heard from others have created a collection of genealogical information. The information that you already know probably includes the names, birth dates and birthplaces of your close relatives, along with other facts. To start your family tree, you need to record the facts that you already know. It does not matter how few or how many facts you know, because even the smallest seeds can grow into enormous family trees!
More individuals enjoy Family History in the United States than ever before. Our ability to connect with cousins across the globe through the Internet has encouraged many new researchers to begin. Most however stop when they reach the first difficult plateau. This is because they have not learned how to plan their research and document their findings. This can be especially difficult for African-American families who may not find as many published family histories. This series of articles will deal with an effective way to collect fami ly history with an included emphasis on African-American families.
Always start with what you know and work backward. Where were you born? Who are your parents? Who are your grandparents? These questions are the building blocks of your basic research. Births, deaths, and marriages form the framework on which we build an individual's history.
In addition to your family memories, you may find that your family has documents and memorabilia the will help in your research. Almost anyone can sit down with a pencil and paper and start copying information, but it pays to be extra-careful when you are doing genealogical research. Repeating research because you cannot read or understand your notes is no fun. Following the tips li sted below should help you avoid any note-taking pitfalls.
I. Write down everything. The amount of information you collect will grow rapidly. If you try to rely on your memory, you may easily forget or become confused. This also applies to those who insist that they will "write it down later" which often leads to more errors.
2. Do not use home-spun abbreviations. Abbreviations are often confusing when you go back to review your notes. They also can lead to inaccurate information. Use standard abbreviations (b for born, d for died, m for married). Take the time to write the information exactly as you find it.
3. Record your sources. Proper documentation is essential to effective research. As we learn more about our family, we must provide sources for information. This will allow future researchers to either extend our work, or make corrections based on additional information. In THE LONG HUNTER, VOLUME XXIV, ISSUE 2, Page 56 the process of active research, we often forget where we picked up a bit of information or who shared a date with us. A researcher should also make note of who supplied the information, when collected and where is was collected. There are several excellent resources for leaming the process of citation, (Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian by Elizabeth Shown Mills, Genealogical Publishing Co. and Cite Your Sources by Richard Lackey, University Press of Mississippi are recommended by the author.) When using a book as a source, we should record the title, author, date of publication, publisher and page numbers used. I often find it convenient to photocopy the title page. If you write down the name, location, and the date that you searched a source, you can easily return to that source later and you will always know what sources you have already checked. It's helpful to keep a list of sources for each person (or each last name) in your family tree.
4. Record each person's name in full . It's especially important to list a woman's maiden name. Be sure to avoid abbreviations here; you may have more than one J. Smith within your family. If a person has a nickname, put it between quotation marks (e.g.,"Tillie"). Be careful that you do not make assumptions about names and spellings. Standardization of name spelling did not occur until after the Civil War.
5. Be careful with dates. Most genealogists use a day/montb/year format. (e.g., 24 May 1924) The actual format you use is not as important as spelling out the month and using the complete year. Dates can be ambiguous, you can interpret the date 4/7/76 as April 7 or 4 July 1976 (or 1876, or 1776, etc.). Writing out the month and year reduces the chance of misinterpreting dates no matter what format you use.
6. Copy information especially dates, locations, and last names exactly as you find it. You can interpret yoUr findings later when you have time to review your notes and make comparisons with other information. This is particularly important when copying down last names. Over time they often take on many spellings. In general, never change information to what you think it ought to be. (e.g. Record Jos as Jos or Jos not Joseph or Josiah.) If you must add information, use square brackets to indicate your addition. (e.g., Jos [Joseph] Edwards)
7. Take notes in such a way that they will be clear to you, or anyone else, when reviewed later. The hastily written note often makes sense at the time you write it, but can be really confusing when you look at it days later. Keep your records simple and on the same size paper.
8. Write clearly. If you have ever read old records, you know how frustrating it can be trying to decipher someone's handwriting. Write legibly today so that others will be able to read the information tomorrow ... or 50 years from now.
9. Prove the facts as you go; do not skip generations. You can not prove that William Smith was your great-grandfather unless you can show positive evidence that your grandfather, John Smith, was his son. THE LONGHUNTER, VOLUME XXIV, ISSUE 2, Page 57
Look in your home for information. This list will give you a few places where you may [md genealogical information. You can probably think of a few other places to look, too. Ask your relatives if they have or know of any items like these that might be useful to your research. When you are looking for information at home, you may find items have dates, but do not have years. (e.g., Thursday, March 8) This is especially true with diaries, letters, and clippings found in scrapbooks. You can figure out what the year is by using a perpetual calendar.
Autograph books Bibles & Books (check for inscriptions in them) Certificates (from schools or jobs) Closet doors (look for writing on the inside) Clothing and hats Cookbooks Diaries and day books Family trees Furniture (sometimes you'll find names and dates on the bottoms or backs offuntiture) Photo albums Important papers (wills, titles, and deeds) Jewelry (such as pins, ID bracelets, charm bracelets, lockets, or anything else that may have an inscription or indicate membership in an organization) Letters, cards and postcards Newspaper clippings Pictures (don't forget to look at the backs) Resumes School papers (report cards can have parents' signatures) Scrapbooks Sewing samplers, quilts, and other handmade items Trunks and chests Yearbooks
Once you have recorded all of the basic genealogical information that you and your family can recall, you may want to dig deeper into the family memory and collect stories that will give all of those names and dates a little bit of character. You're going to need to ask your living relatives a lot of questions. Don't be afraid to contact distant relatives that you've never met or just seen at weddings and funerals; they're usually glad to talk to you. You might find pictures of groups that others can help you identify. Family History is a group activity. THE LONGHUNTER, VOLUME XXIV, ISSUE 2, Page 58 The Butler County, KY Will of Mary Carson, 1831

The United States Constitution required a count of the population every ten years for the purpose of determining the number of representatives to Congress and to direct taxes back to the people. Initially, the responsibility for taking the census was given to U.S. Marshals in each jurisdiction. The initial enumeration contained the head of the family, the number of free white males over 16 years of age, the number of free white males under 16, free white females, all other free persons, and slaves. The law required that each household or family be visited, recorded and that the completed list be posted in two of the most public places in the area. These population schedules are especially helpful to genealogists because of the availability, genealogical value, and data consistency.
As a rule, between 1790 and 1890 the census takers, or enumerators, gathered increasingly detailed personal information. The 1790-1840 schedules, where available, furnish the names of the free heads offamily but not other family members. These schedules enumerated the family head and simply totaled the number of other family members, without name, by free or slave status. Also, the sex and age categories that the schedules first used only for free whites from 1790 through 1810 eventually applied to other persons, and the age categories increased after 1790.
Some censuses from 1790 through 1840 covered special topics. The 1820 census, for example, was the first to inquire about foreigners not naturalized. This information provides clues about naturalization records covered in "Federal Court Records: A Select Catalog of National Archives Microfilm Publications" and "Genealogical and Biographical Research: A Select Catalog of National Archives Microfilm Publications."
The first census of manufacturers was taken in 1810. It was very incomplete and the schedules were lost except for those bound with the population schedules. The second, taken in 1820, included the owner's name, the establishment location, the number of employees, quantity and type of machinery, capital, articles of manufacture, yearly production, and remarks about the business.
The 1840 census included a notation regarding pensioners for Revolutionary or military service. Persons who were either family heads or members were included and the pensioner's age was specified.
If you use an index to find your families, be sure to check every spelling variant and sound variant in the index. Surnames are often missed because of a different initial letter or first vowel, or maybe they are hidden by an h as the second letter, which throws the surname into an unexpected place in the index. Sometimes, the problem is the computer's sorting of names due to spacing. For example, McGee, Magee, Maghee, McGhee, and Mc Gee will be different surnames THE LONGHlJNTER, VOLUME XXIV, ISSUE 2, Page 84 indexed, just as Smith,John (no space after the comma) will be listed after Smith, William (as a separate surname). Don't forget that a name may be misread by the indexer. An uncommon name like Manica was interpreted as Marion, and consider misspelled surnames, i.e. SIMTH, SMIHT, MSITH.
Using a prepared census form will help you record all of the data contained in the census record. Be sure to include neighbors even if you do not know if they are connected to your family . You may want to transcribe data on a single year census form and a multi-census form with only one family. Both are valuable and could assist you in your research.
Copy the data exactly as it appears in the record. If the given name is abbreviated, copy the abbreviated form. Do not expand it. If the entry is crossed through or changed, copy the entry, the cross-through line, and the changes. Note carefully the last entry on each page. Family units may be split between two pages without a repeat of the surname. If you choose to spell out the name when abbreviated, enter your spelling or other notes in brackets.
Sometimes even if the data are correctly entered, the format is misleading. For example, a head of household recorded in 1820, 1830, or 1840 may not be the oldest person in the house. It may be a grandparent, a younger brother, or a man with both parents still living at home. Persons given in any age grouping could be servants, visitors, or boarders not related to the family, but the census does not say who they are.
Utilize a CensuslBirthyear Comparison Form. The comparison form will help you find discrepancies in the census reports, and help you formulate some research plans for your families.
Three possible changes can happen singly or in any combination: generations change, people move, and jurisdictions and place-names change. A new William Magee in a county could be a young man just come of age, a newcomer recently arrived, or a long-settled resident shifted into the county or town by a boundary change.
What do you do when a person is listed in nearby counties in three successive censuses and yet no deeds or other records suggest moves? Perhaps the county lines changed and the person did not move at all. Example: Dempsey Parker was enumerated in Sumner County, Tennessee in 1820 and 1830, Smith in 1840, and Macon in 1850. In the first case, he did move, but Macon County was formed from part of Smith County.
As you look at a Comparison Form, you may see that individuals have disappeared from the date of an earlier census to a later one. Let's look at some possible ways to find them: A daughter or son could have married. Check marriages after the latest census in which she appears. If they were under age, there just might be a consent form. Otherwise you should look at the surety bond and witnesses.
Use your census data to help you check your tax records. If you can find a tax payer named William Magee (presumably for the sake of argument that you are looking for), is there another Magee living on land next to them? Or is there a Magee on the census record living "next door". THE LONGHUNTER, VOLUME XXIV, ISSUE 2, Page 85
When the Head of the household died - did he leave a will? If so children's names and spouses might be included .. If he died intestate (without a will), check the inventory and estate settlement books. Who was appointed administrator, who received the land, what about the sale and settlement of property.
When did your ancestor arrive in this county? Who came with them? When did they disappear. Good research techniques will help us evaluate the situations and plot a course of action to find more answers.
The Role of Perspective in Genealogy
J. Mark Lowe, CG 505 Josephine St., Springfield, TN 37172 [email protected] www.kytnresearch.com
One of my vivid memories of the past is a classroom where we discussed the coming of the Year 2000. At the time, I was 13 years old. The teacher asked us to consider what we might be doing in the Year 2000. I could not even imagine being 43 years old. I often thought of this dilemma and even wondered if! would be alive to see this day. We view events of time from our personal perspective and often have trouble imagining how others view their lifetimes and the events they witness.
Imagine being the youngest of five children. Your life experience begins at the time of your birth. Your siblings have an entirely different view of the family because they bring different life experiences, and often remember family events before you were born. We might even develop an experience with an item that distorts its true history because of our personal perspective. In our dining room, my Mother displayed a plate with a young girl sitting at a table offood. On this plate was printed the prayer, "God is good, God is great, Let us thank Him for our food, Amen." Because I grew up with this plate and learned my first prayer for thanks from this plate, I thought this plate was one of my childhood gifts. A few years ago, I asked my Mother about this plate. She explained to me that my eldest brother had given it to her as a Mother's Day gift when he was in elementary school, several years before I was born. In reality this plate had a much different history than the one I had created in my mind.
All of this discussion was to prepare us for a look back at the people and events that influenced our ancestors. Each of us might choose different people and events as significant, and we would all be correct. History is formed in the minds of individuals. As we research our family, we must remember that the events affecting our ancestors were unique to their area. Just consider what your ancestor was thinking about these 20th Century events.
Although events in Europe seemed far away from the minds of rural Americans as the new Century began, all were aware that Queen Victoria had shaped the lives of many in the world. She began her reign in 1837, long before the memory of many living men and women in 1900. Her legacy would include more than the positive influence she exerted on the countries of the THE LONG HUNTER, VOLUME XXIV, ISSUE 2, Page 86 world. At her death on the 22nd of January of 190 I, Victoria died in the arms of her devoted grandson, Wilhelm. Seventeen years later, this same Wilhelm, as Kaiser of Germany, would abdicate the German throne and leave that country as one of his terms fo r surrender at the end of World War 1. Victoria's legacy left her grandsons as rulers of three great nations, Great Britain, Germany and Russia. Their family jealousy would bring the world to chaos in the War to end all Wars.
On one rural homefront, Robertson County, Tennessee led the state in the manufacture of whiskey. Since the end of the Civil War, the distillery industry had boomed. Distillers had local warehouses and distributors of the product, which sold throughout the country. It was perhaps the largest non-agricultural product produced within the county for many years. It may seem contradictory that in 1903, Robertson County became a "dry" county, forbidding the sale and consumption of whiskey within its borders. Tennessee did not pass state-wide prohibition until 1909 and national prohibition did not begin until the end of 1919. National prohibition ended the days oflocal distillers and the legal production of fine whiskey and brandy. Herbert Hoover called prohibition the "noble experiment," but the effect led to the formation of crime syndicates, and led many Americans to break the law.
On the 4th of March, 1932, Franklin D. Roosevelt took his oath as President of the United States. In the three years since the stock market crash of 1929, America's national income had collapsed. In 1932, unemployment staggered at 12 million people and millions of homeless citizens clustered in shanty villages called "Hoovervilles."
Within his first I 00 days in office, FDR passed IS major legislative innovations and began to calm American's fears with his radio addresses, called "fireside chats." He introduced Social Security, a minimum wage, insured bank deposits, and the W.P.A. His Works Progress Administration employed Americans to build roads, parks, libraries, schools, and other infrastructure. America would struggle throughout this time, but would bounce back by the beginning of World War II.
America was reminded of its vulnerability on December 7, 1941. The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii killing 2,433 Americans and destroying 18 warships and 188 airplanes. At the same time, Japanese bombers struck Manila in the Philippines, Singapore and Hong Kong. On the following day, President Roosevelt declared December 7th to be "a date which will live in infamy," and the U.S. declared war on Japan.
In the years following, many victories and defeats were felt by people throughout the world. On the 15th of August, 1945, the bomb "Little Boy" was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan. An stimated 100,000 people died the first day. On August 9th, "Fat Man," the second bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, killing some 74,000. The Japanese surrendered on August 15, 1945. The end of the war brought new knowledge on the activities of the German government. Some 6,000,000 Jews were tortured and killed in prison camps. The middle of the 20th Century would come after this severe reminder of the cruelty and inhumanity one person can impose on another.
Americans were ready to right many of the wrongs they had seen in Europe, but many were not sure they were ready to correct problems right here at home. On the April the 15th of 1947, Jackie Robinson joined the Brooklyn Dodgers. Robinson was a star athlete for UCLA, and had THE LONG HUNTER, VOLUME XXIV, ISSUE 2, Page 87 played for the Dodgers' farm team in Montreal. He became the first African-American to play in the Major Leagues, but he also provided momentum for President Truman to integrate the Armed Forces in 1948. In 1954, the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, forced many Americans to take a hard look at the way they lived.
The Civil Rights Movement would occupy the minds and hearts of many Americans for the next two decades, as they considered voting rights, housing opportunities, and the basic rights many Americans took for granted.
How can we consider the 20th Century and not see how Radio and Television has affected not only our lives, but how we view the lives of others. The development of news programs and the not-so-wholesome programming offered by some stations is evidence of the changes in our society. Television was first introduced in 1925, but Americans would not have the opportunity to really experience this technology until the late 1940's. Americans were soon captivated with the chance to be entertained at home, and the American family soon revolved around the television schedule.
The electronic computer was introduced in 1945 at the University of Pennsylvania. It was considered a mechanical brain - a 30 ton series of 17,468 vacuum tubes, dials and cabinets that occupied an entire room. The development of computers became important as they become smaller, compact and more powerful. Today, computers occupy many of the gadgets and tools that we use everyday. Imagine thinking in 1899, that if a computer malfunctioned, it could be catastrophic. Our lives have changed.
Perhaps, one of the crowning moments of this century is man's walk on the moon. All eyes were fixed to the television sets, as we wondered that Sunday night, if the astronauts would see moon men or die as they left their protective module. That evening in July of 1969 became one of those moments in time that we remember - where we were and what we were thinking. "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." Neil Armstrong became one of America's heroes, and American's stood a little taller for a while.
The 20th Century left us with many images, both good and bad. Whenever we are reminded of our vulnerability, events becomes more memorable to us. Among those days include the day President Nixon resigned, the days Martin Luther King and President Kennedy were shot, the Munich Olympics, the bombing of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, and the day at Columbine High School.
We are survivors. Americans are able to weather the storms oflife, and face the new day with determination to make it better. We have survived the Y2K. The 21st Century is a blank page waiting for events to be written and evaluated by our future. As Scarlett O'Hara, the 'eternal optimist opined, "Tomorrow is another day." The question is, "Can you and I make it a better day?" THE LONG HUNTER, VOLUME XXIV, ISSUE 2, Page 88 Index
