Witcher *************************************** Last month, we discussed a six-step strategy for more effectively using the Internet to find the most data possible about one’s ancestors and potential ancestors. I hope you had an opportunity to explore sites discussed in that strategy. This month, I would like to explore a few sites that are complementary to the sites previously discussed. Though there are a number of search engines one can deploy to find relevant sites on the Internet, many still like websites in the genealogy space that provide well-organized lists of local and family history sites. One of the best is not very well known and rather underutilized. It is Linkpendium.com. From their website, “Linkpendium is a 10,000,000+ resource directory to everything on the Web about families worldwide and genealogically-relevant information about U.S. states and counties. We cover both free and subscription sites, with a strong emphasis upon free resources provided by libraries, other government agencies, genealogical and historical societies, and individuals. We are particularly proud of our unique indexes to online biographies.” That this site is bigger than other similar type sites is not the only reason I believe it is the best. First, they have a more sophisticated and more frequently applied link-checking routine. That means one will have far fewer “site not found” types of messages when exploring links on Linkpendium. I also like the presentation of the links for U.S. geographic locations. For every state, one gets an alphabetical list of counties with the number of links listed with each county. Before the county lists, though, there is a statewide resources link for every state. Under this link, one has access to topical links that cover an entire state rather than specific counties. I am particularly partial to the “projects” lists at the very top of the state resources sections. It is a neat way to find some lesser known but potentially quite helpful sites. Each county also has links to any extant county-wide projects. When one uses Linkpendium to find county-specific sites, its value is even more pronounced. We know how extremely consequential it is to provide context for our research. At the top of every county page is a list of adjacent counties as a reminder of other geographic locations to check-- rather much like a research assistant. As an example, for Auglaize County, Ohio, one would find the following list of adjacent counties with links to their webpages in Linkpendium. •Allen County, OH to the north •Darke County, OH to the southwest •Hardin County, OH to the east •Logan County, OH to the southeast •Mercer County, OH to the west •Shelby County, OH to the south •Van Wert County, OH to the northwest Linkpendium definitely is worth a look, and I dare say worth incorporating into your online searching routine. I would be hard-pressed to believe there are many engaged in genealogy that are not aware of the site FamilySearch.org. I am listing it as my second “extra” site for getting more online for your genealogy because I believe there are portions of that very large website that are totally under- utilized, indeed nearly ignored, by many. While many are appropriately impressed with FamilySearch’s digitized records and personal trees, two sections of the site that don’t get nearly the use they deserve are “Family History Books” and the “Family History Research Wiki.” Family History Books is an online collection of more than 370,000 digitized family and local history materials. I am fond of telling genealogists that everyone in our field has a personal research library of significantly more than a quarter of a million items they can read online, search for specific names, and download--all for free! That is what Family History Books offers to the researcher. More than one dozen organizations, including the Allen County Public Library, have partnered with the Family History Library in Salt Lake City to place copyright-clear materials online for free use by any interested party. Both the collection of online materials available for free use and the number of partners participating in this exciting initiative continue to grow. One just has to take a look. The Family History Research Wiki of FamilySearch.org truly should be one’s research assistant. With more than 87,800 well researched and well documented articles, it is a great way to explore information about the geographic area one is researching as well as the availability of online records for that location. Using U.S. states as an example, each state has a clickable map of county information as well as a button to take one to online records for the state. The Wiki template gives one quick access to research strategies in the particular state, access to information on record types (e.g. cemeteries, census, church, court, land, military, etc.), background on the history of the state, data on ethnicity and settlement, and local research resources. And before one discounts wikis for inconsistent data and lack of posting authority, know that this wiki is closely monitored and heavily vetted. Spend some time not only exploring the extras mentioned in this article but also take a look around and see if there is something just off the beaten path that might be an enhancement to your online research experience. *************************************** New York Slavery Records Index by Melissa C. Tennant *************************************** The “New York Slavery Records Index,” <https://nyslavery.commons.gc.cuny.edu/>, administered by the Master of Public Administration Programs at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York, is a centralized access point to more than 35,000 records that document slavery in New York. The index identifies slaves, slaveholders, ship investors, and other records from 1525 to the Civil War era. Currently, records concerning slave owners and enslaved persons have been indexed from the following collections: Dutch Records of New Amsterdam; Colonial Census Records; 1790-1930 U.S. Census; Slave Trade Records; 1715-1765 Slave Ship Records; Emancipations; Runaway Slave Advertisements and Announcements; Treaty of Paris Records; Birth Registration, Abandonment, and Emancipation Records; Comptroller Records; Cemetery Records; and Underground Railroad Records. The search page, with its thirty-four optional search fields, can feel intimidating at first glance. The site is arranged so that all of the data entry fields that an indexer uses is visible to the researcher as search fields. The researcher can search one or multiple fields. Due to the uniqueness of the search page, a review of the Search Instructions page is recommended. Also, the Database Fields page, listed under the Sources tab, provides clearer definitions for each of the fields. The site links slaves with slave owners, such as one finds in the entry for Galloway, born in 1719, who was owned by John Breese of New York City in 1740. The entry includes a search tag of “RAN,” which indicates that the name appeared in a runaway slave notice. Search tags can be found on the Search Instructions page and on the Slavery Records page. In the above example, the record source referenced was Hodges and Brown 34 with an added comment naming the “New York Weekly Journal #360.” One can find more information about the record source under the Sources tab on the Slavery Records page, which in this example is a printed volume available at a library. With this information, one can check that library for the cited volume to read the 1740 notice that had been posted in the “New York Weekly Journal.” The site can also link slave families together, such as the entry for Betsy, mother of Isabella. Also named in the index entry is Donald McLeod, a merchant of New York City in 1802. The search tag of “REG” indicates that the source is the “Birth Registrations of Children Born to Enslaved Mothers after 1799.” The entry is linked to a digital image of the two-sided document titled, “a birth certificate of a certain negro child named Isabella,” located on the New York Historical Society Digital Manuscript Collection website. The “New York Slavery Records Index” site continues to add more sources and indexes, providing an indispensable entry point to slave records in New York. *************************************** Women in World War I: The Hello Girls by Delia Cothrun Bourne *************************************** As the United States entered the Great War in Europe, military officials realized that success in the war depended on speedy communication over newly-constructed telephone lines across France. Civilian French operators could not communicate with English-speaking American personnel and could not be depended on for the secrecy that the army required. Male soldiers were pressed into service at the French switchboards that connected the changeable front lines to command posts and supply depots, but most could not speak French and were uncomfortable working the complicated equipment, which state-side women could work five times faster.

  • Lady Katherine Gordon, the Wife of Perkin Warbeck, Is As Questionable As the Identity of Her Husband
    LadyKatherine Gordon: A GenealogicalPuzzle WENDY E. A. MOORHEN It is a curious quirk of history that the descent of Lady Katherine Gordon, the wife of Perkin Warbeck, is as questionable as the identity of her husband. The controversy of Lady Katherine's descent stems from the question of who was her mother? Was Lady Katherine the daughter of the Earl of Huntly’s second wife, Princess Annabella Stewart (a daughter of James I) or his third wife, Lady Elizabeth Hay (a daughter of the first earl of Erroll)? Lady Katherine mam'ed the pretender to the English throne a few weeks after Warbeck had arrived in Scotland. He was welcomed as Richard, Duke of York and granted a generous pension by the Scottish king. James IV sealed their friendship and alliance by providing one of his own cousins as Warbeck’s bride. The consequence of Elizabeth Hay being Lady Katherine’s mother, as opposed to the- Stewart princess, has been described as ‘dramatically diminish[ing] the significance of James’ [IV of Scotland] gesture by seriously reducing the status of his proffered bride, and thus of the level of his own support of Perkin." Elizabeth Hay should not be dismissed too hastily, however, as she was descended from two daughters of King Robert II. As well as being politically advantageous for Warbeck, the marriage may well have been a love match. A letter has survived in the Spanish archives which is now attributed to Warbeck and written to his future wife, ‘I shall, perhaps, be the happiest of all your admirers, and the happiest man on eanh, since I have reason to hope you will think me worthy of your love’.2 On 6 July 1497 Warbeck left Scotland and sailed for Ireland accompanied by his wife who chose to share the precarious adventure upon which her husband was about embark.

  • Chief Jean Baptiste Richardville
    CHIEF JEAN BAPTISTE RICHARDVILLE By Craig Leonard «««««««««««««««»»»»»»»»»»»»»»» Chief Jean Baptiste Richardville was the civil chief of the Miami Indians from 1816 until his death in 1841. He was born at the Miami village of Kekionga (Fort Wayne) about 1761 and was known by his Miami name, Peshewa ("the lynx," "the wildcat"), and later by the Anglicized version of his name, John B. Richardville. Richardville's father was Joseph Druet de Richardville, a French-Canadian trader of noble ancestry whose family members, the Drouets, were among the most prominent nobility, officers, and traders in New France. Tacumwah (Maria Louisa Richardville), Richardville's mother, was the sister of Pacanne, the chief of the village at Kekionga. Joseph apparently remained at Kekionga from about 1750 to 1770; he then returned to Three Rivers, Canada, where his son later joined him for a few years to receive a formal education. Drouet and Tacumwah are known to have had three other children, but little is known of them or where they spent their lives. Tacumwah, who had the status of a female chieftain among the Miami, later married another French trader, Charles Beaubien. Several factors destined Richardville for prominence. The Miami tribe had at least five major divisions, of which the foremost were the Atchatchakangouen, or Crane People. The head chief of this group was deferred to by the heads of the other divisions as the entire tribe's civil chief. The Atchatchakangouen head chief was Pacanne, the leader at Kekionga. Among the Miami, war chiefs were chosen for their prowess in battle, but succession to civil chieftain was hereditary.

  • The Proceedings in the Case of Earldom of Mar
    THE PROCEEDINGS CASE OF THE EARLDOM OE MAR: 1867—1885. A RESUME BY E. B. SWINTON. " My thanes and kinsmen, Henceforth be Earls ; the first that ever Scotland In such an honor named." ,, LONDON: HARBISON AND SONS, 59, PALL MALL, BOOKSELLERS TO HEE MAJESTY AND H.E.H. TIIE PEINCE OF WALES. 1889. Price One Shilling. THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE CASE OF THE EARLDOM OF MAR. On the 17th July of this year* the Earl of G-alloway in the House of Lords moved a resolution regarding the Mar peerage. He desired, in effect, to have it resolved that the present Earl of Mar and Baron Garioch was the only Earl of Mar, and that an order of the House of Lords of February 26th, 1875, which declared the Earl of Kellie to be also an Earl of Mar, should be cancelled : —" What they were asked to do," according to one of the speakers, the Earl of Rosebery, was " to declare that there were not two Earls of Mar ; whereas three years ago they had solemnly declared that there were ; " and, according to the report of the debate in the " Times," the motion was lost by a majority of 27 in a House of 51. This is the last public resuscitation of a long-stand- ing and involved dispute ; and it is proposed to give some account of the most interesting inquiry of the kind which has taken place in this century—interesting for its in- trinsic historical merits and research, and for the perplexed proceedings following upon it—not for any details of questions of disputed legitimacy which often accompany such investigations.
