Inside This Issue So King News Vol. 28, No. 1 July/August, 2012 Page 4 Saar Cemetery Project A new marker has recently been installed in the ceme- tery for Isaac and Nellie Parmenter by the Safadago family. It is placed near Catherine Lankester’s head- stone. Nellie is Catherine’s daughter. The Parmenters are also listed on the Unmarked Graves Monument since there were no existing markers for them to be found when A History of Saar Pioneer Cemetery and Its Inhabitants was published. Nellie died tragically from being burned to death from a fire in a kitchen stove in 1890 (or 1888) and her husband Isaac died in 1926 at age 74 years. The Unmarked Graves Monument is currently being engraved by Quiring Monuments and will hopefully be installed in late June.

  • Computers Vs. Humans: Comparing Outputs of Genealogy Programs
    Computers vs. Humans: Comparing Output of Genealogy Programs Computers vs. Humans: Comparing Output of Genealogy Programs © 2009, Debbie Parker Wayne First publication rights granted to Digital Genealogist, July 2009. All other rights reserved. Computers are very good at handling repetitive, logical tasks—not so good at creativity. Any fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation will remember the trouble Commander Data had with tasks that required feelings or creativity. Even the imaginative minds that created Star Trek: TNG could not imagine computers had advanced so much by the 24th century that an android could rival the creativity of the human mind. There has been an ongoing discussion in the genealogical world about whether genealogy programs can “create” output or reports that meet the creative standards we strive for today—more than a list of begats—an interesting family history with analysis of kinship communities and social context that makes the reader care about the family and want to know more. Some genealogists expect a well-written narrative to be magically spit out by a genealogy program’s report generator. Genealogy databases allow a genealogical summary report to be generated using canned sentences that Sergeant Joe Friday would love—just the facts. The more advanced programs allow customization of the output sentences and source citations to make the narrative more exciting and interesting. Some genealogists think there is no reason for a genealogy program to offer these options. They want only a bare-bones family summary with birth, marriage, and death information. This summary is copied into a word processor where the sentences that flow from the creative juices are then added.

  • The Magic Button
    The Magic Button By Mike Blackledge As this column has long proclaimed, we live in a golden age for genealogy research and publication. The Internet is a near-endless marvel. The Albuquerque Bernalillo Library system’s Genealogy Center provides you everything ‘free’ from a scanner to Ancestry.com access. Our own Albuquerque Genealogical Society is at its peak now with near-monthly Research Days, this peerless Quarterly publication, a website that lists upcoming events and chronicles past ‘gems,’ a (new) Facebook group that allows members to post whenever, whatever, Special Interest Groups that further specific passions, and monthly programs and seminars that continue to inspire and educate us. A great time to be a genealogist! But the true organizational miracle, the tool that brings it all together, that makes our personal computers valuable and productive and furthers our research, is our own software genealogy program. We have populated previous columns [see: May 2007 and August 2007, always available at abqgen.org] with discussions, descriptions, and comparisons of software genealogical programs. Family Tree Magazine did a better job in August 2008 [see references]. And today even Wikipedia provides an excellent table/spreadsheet comparison of genealogy software programs, as well as a separate article on the subject itself [see References]. Wiki compares 23 genealogy programs: some for the Mac, most for Windows, some for free and several with a free trial or demo, provides their latest version number and corresponding latest release date, and – yes, this is a new world – whether they handle adoption and foster parents, single parent family, same sex marriage – everything you (or at least I) can think of.

  • Computers and Genealogy
    Courtesy of Jewish Genealogical Society, Inc. & Center Genealogy Institute August 2005 Computers and Genealogy Computers can be a great tool in helping to organize and conduct research, and to locate resources. Though it is possible to do family history research without a computer, Internet access and family tree software expedite the research at every stage. Organizing Research Software The use of a genealogy program has become an almost necessary part of organizing one's research. These programs can store all of your vital family history information, and sometimes even photos and audio clips. They also make it easy to print the information in the form of family trees or even books. When purchasing software you should look for the following basic features: • Ability to easily search, sort, and organize data. • Ability to store thousands of names. • Ability to create descendent and ancestor charts • …..and of course ease of use. Some popular programs include: Family Tree Maker . Version 11.0, for Windows. $30 / $60 versions. http://www.familytreemaker.com Reunion (for Macintosh) Version 8.00: $89.95 from Mac Connection: (800) 800-1111. http://www.leisterpro.com Generations .
