PREFACE To Abraham Lincoln, the Civil War was essentially a people's contest over the maintenance of a government dedi- cated to the elevation of man and the right of every citizen to an unfettered start in the race of life. President Lincoln believed that most Americans understood this, for he liked to boast that while large numbers of Army and Navy officers had resigned their commissions to take up arms against the government, not one common soldier or sailor was known to have deserted his post to fight for the Confederacy.

  • Illegitimate Births in Gloucester, MA, 1855-1894
    ILLEGITIMATE BIRTHS IN GLOUCESTER, MA, 1855 – 1894 The term “illegitimacy” is derived from the Latin illegitimus, meaning “not in accordance with the law.” A child is considered illegitimate when it is conceived and born outside of the regulatory sanctions of marriage. In order to facilitate genealogical research the Gloucester, Massachusetts, City Archive department is in the process of building a series of data bases of the births, marriages, and deaths that took place in Gloucester in the last half of the 19th century. As we entered birth information into this data base we wondered what became of those children identified as ‘illegitimate.’ The following is a result of those ruminations. Please note that the figures provided are not conclusive, as during the period 1860 to 1875 the legal status of the child was only sporadically noted in the official records – an interesting fact in and of itself. Also, at the time of this survey, deaths were only available in an easily searchable format for the years between 1851 and 1873. Obtaining the figures from 1874 to 1894 would have consumed more time than was available to this researcher. Nonetheless, certain conclusions can still be drawn from the easily obtainable records. Illegitimate births accounted for less than 1% of the overall births in Gloucester during the thirty-nine years spanned by the survey, and were equally divided between the sexes (108 boys and 107 girls). This figure seems extraordinarily low compared, for instance, to the year 2000 when approximately 26% of all births in Massachusetts were recorded as illegitimate. However, one must take into account various social factors.

  • Frontenac County
    IMMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND 1800 - 1900 PROVINCE OF ONTARIO VOLUME 1 - FRONTENAC COUNTY COMPILED BY RUSS WALLER INTRODUCTION CHOOSING A TITLE FOR THIS SERIES OF BOOKS WAS SOMEWHAT OF A PROBLEM. SINCE CANADA IS LEGALLY A BI-LINGUAL COUNTRY (ALTHOUGH ACTUALLY MORE AND MORE MULTI-LINGUAL) THE TERM "ENGLISH" CONNOTES LANGUAGE RATHER THAN ORIGIN, AND IS ALMOST ALWAYS USED TO DIFFERENTIATE FROM "FRENCH". IMMIGRANTS FROM ENGLAND WAS CHOSEN AS THE LEAST CUMBERSOME ALTERNATIVE TO ENGLISH IMMIGRANTS. THIS BOOK DOES NOT CONTAIN A FULL GENEALOGY OF ANY ONE FAMILY. IT IS INTENDED AS A FINDING AID, ASSISTING RESEARCHERS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ATLANTIC TO DISCOVER EITHER WHERE THEIR ANCESTORS CAME FROM OR WHERE THEY EMIGRATED TO. IN MOST CASES, THEREFORE, NOT ALL OF THE KNOWN CHILDREN ARE INCLUDED IN THE "ISSUE" COLUMN. ALL THOSE BORN IN ENGLAND ARE LISTED, IN ORDER TO ASSIST ENGLISH RESEARCHERS TO IDENTIFY A PARTICULAR FAMILY, BUT, OF THE CHILDREN BORN AFTER EMIGRATION, THE ELDEST SON IS USUALLY THE ONLY ONE LISTED. A DAUGHTER IS LISTED IF THERE IS NO MALE ISSUE, BUT HER NAME CHANGE AT MARRIAGE MAKES IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACE HER. THE PROBLEM OF TRACING FAMILIES WHO MOVED ON FROM FRONTENAC COUNTY WAS GREATLY ASSISTED IN MANY CASES BY THE ALL-ONTARIO INDEX TO THE 1871 CANADA CENSUS, COMPILED BY THE ONTARIO GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY. THIS INDEX IS NOW AVAILABLE ON THE WORLD-WIDE-WEB. THE DATE OF ARRIVAL OF MOST IMMIGRANT FAMILIES IS, UNFORTUNATELY, NOT KNOWN, BUT, FOR THOSE FAMILIES LISTED IN THE 1901 CENSUS, A SPACE WAS PROVIDED FOR THE YEAR OF IMMIGRATION.
