Linda Tuchten Forest ORPHAN PHOTOS

Memorable Family Treasures

One of the nicest gifts that our families can leave us is pictures of themselves, places they have been and other family members, such as group photos. Sometimes all three are in one photograph.

How many pictures do you possess that do not have a name, date or a place written on the back of the photo? If your family is like my family, you probably have quite a few. I inherited a boxful of such pictures. Some of the faces are familiar, some I recog… Continue

James Tanner Claiming a copyright

As genealogists, we constantly refer to historical documents. In many cases, those documents many be subject to claims of copyright. It is far easier to claim a copyright to an old document than to actually prove a claim for breach of copyright. It is not uncommon to find references to a copyright for documents that are clearly, legally not subject to any possible copyright. Unfortunately, most discussions of copyright issues are rather more inclusive than exclusive, that is, the discussion emph… Continue

FamilySearch, the genealogical organization of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is moving towards using a unified sign-in system for all of their Websites.

After all that breast beating about my failure to find my grandmother's birth in my previous blog entries, when the birth certificate for Florence Brooks eventually arrived, everything was wrong. The date of birth was wrong; the father's name was wrong and the father's occupation was wrong. Back to the drawing board! The census entry showed a sister for Florence whose name was Minnie, apparently born in Clerkenwell about 1873. I decided to look for her birth. Free BMD had a Minnie registered

Michelina Hall How cousin are we?

How many times you have been at a family reunion and knew the person you were talking to was your cousin, but were not sure "how cousin" you were? Often understanding and remembering the kinship relationship between distant cousins is not that easy. I realized that in a recent trip to visit a distant cousin on my husband's side of the family. That brought me to create this visual "cousin chart" that has proven very useful, and that is going to be
