<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Germanic Latin and
Extraction Aids</i> is a collection of Germanic extraction materials provided
by the Records Extraction Section of the Genealogical Department of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to the Tucson Branch Genealogical Library
in April, 1982.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The introduction tells us that “in many areas of Germany and
Switzerland, parish records were kept in the Latin language. For the most part
these parishes were Catholic; however, this was not always the case, especially
in early records. Many Protestant parishes kept their records in Latin. At
times the parish priests were not adequately trained in the Latin language.
Because of this, if they did not know a term or phrase in Latin, they would
substitute the phrase or term in a German equivalent. For this reason it is
necessary to understand both German and Latin when working in Germanic Latin
records.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I recommend this book for anyone who is beginning research
in German records.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are several
pages of reading exercises to help you see the handwriting you will have to
deal with.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The challenge is for you to translate
the handwriting in the exercises. I would make copies of the exercises to take
home with me to work on and bring them back to check the answers in the back of
the book to see how well I did. Because of this book, I was able to learn an
invaluable skill which I find useful to this day.</div>

We have over 1500 CDs, films, fiche and books to help
genealogists with their German research. We know that everyone has a limited
amount of time to spend researching their family history. In an attempt to help
others manage their time, below is a list of four books that I found to be very
helpful with my German research.<o:p></o:p></div>

This three-volume set is an important gazetteer describing
210,000 cities, towns, hamlets, and dwelling places in the German Empire prior
to World War I. It is written in German,
using the old Gothic font. Therefore, to
get the full value of what is available, one needs to become familiar with the
old Gothic font and be willing to work through translations. Another slight hindrance is the use of abbreviations. In the very front of each volume is a list of
these abbreviations and their meanings—first in German and next in
English. There is an explanation of the
books and an introduction in English, which begins on page [1] of Volume
I. Page [2] includes a list of the
Gothic alphabet used within the books.
Page [4] tells how to use the volumes to find records in archives,
record offices, and libraries. Like in
the United States, many name places are used multiple times. These volumes help the researcher determine
which one is relevant for their ancestors.
For many of the larger cities there are maps and a list of streets. Volume I includes places which begin with
A-K. The second volume includes places
which begin with L-Z. Volume III is a
supplement.<o:p></o:p></div>

<i>The Family Tree
Problem Solver: Tried-and-True Tactics for Tracing Elusive Ancestors </i>by
Marsha Hoffman Rising (Family Tree Books, Rev. 1<sup>st</sup> ed., 2011,
Paperback, 255 pages). TFHC Call no. 929.1072 R494. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This book is not intended for those who are just beginning
their genealogical research…[it] is intended to give each reader new ideas for
tackling those knotty problems that have been sitting on the backburner of the
research schedule for months or even years.” (Introduction, p. 13).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Rising assumes that we are very familiar with the use of
land records, probate records, pre-1850 census records, tax lists, etc. She
relies heavily on using collateral lines and cluster research and teaches us
how to use those records in that context. In addition to the wonderful ideas
presented by Rising, the book includes a Forward and an appendix on how to <i>Find Your Ancestors Online</i> by Sharon
DeBartolo Carmack, an appendix on <i>DNA Facts
and Myths</i> by Lauren Gamber, a <i>Glossary
of Genealogy Terms</i> from the editors of <i>Family
Tree Magazine, </i>and 18 pages of blank forms that the author uses in her
research. Each chapter is loaded with examples and case studies from her own
research to illustrate the techniques she is teaching.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am not a beginning researcher, but I am not an advanced
researcher either. I have to admit that I did not understand everything that
Rising discussed. I did, however, understand enough to put some of her techniques into
practice on breaking down some of my brick walls. And for those record types in
which I am weak, she recommends several books to help us learn more about them.
This is one of those books that I will want to go back to as I encounter new
obstacles in my research—an excellent reference book for the experienced
genealogist.<o:p></o:p><br />

Webb (Broadway Books, 2004, Hardrback, 369 pages) is a captivating book that surveys
the history of the Scots-Irish. They are a fiercely independent group of Scots
originating in the border region with England, who later moved to the Ulster
Plantation in Ireland, and from there to America, the greater part arriving in
the 1700s before the Revolutionary War. The book begins as the Celtic
tribes in Scotland effectively stop the advance of the Roman invaders, who
eventually give up their conquest and construct Hadrian's Wall to seal off the
territory they could not control. Subsequent chapters in the first third
cover highlights of Scottish military, civic, and religious history in
struggles with England and later in the Ulster Plantation--revealing much more
complexity than I had been aware of in the face-off among Scots-Irish, English,
and native Irish, that eventually led to the great exodus of Scots-Irish to the
new world. The latter two-thirds of the book covers the history and migration
patterns of the Scots-Irish in America, beginning with their settlement in the
rugged hill-country of the Appalachian Mountains, and following them as they
were consistently among the first settlers to push the frontiers
westward. The author reveals how many cultural, religious, and civic
traditions have their roots in Scots-Irish beliefs and traditions.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

with the greater history of the Scots-Irish, giving the book a deeply engaging
and personal feel. This is not your typical family history reference
book, as important and useful as those are! It is a fascinating story to
be enjoyed by anyone interested in the undercurrents and hidden forces at work
in the history of Britain and America. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">That said, however, in many ways it does serve as a useful
reference tool. In addition to better understanding my ancestral cultural
and religious heritage, I found myself learning something in every chapter that
gave clues to the potential migration patterns of my Scots-Irish ancestors.
I bought my own copy of the book and have marked relevant information and
insights on most pages. As a result, it no longer seems so puzzling that
my Scots-Irish great-great grandfather, a prosperous farmer in Missouri, moved
to the western border of Idaho two years before his death in 1922.</span><o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">A reviewer on the back cover, Tom Wolfe, effectively
captures the spirit and content of the book: "James Webb reveals the
all-but-invisible ethnic group that has created the core beliefs of democracy
American-style: our rights come from God, not the Government; all of us are
born equal, and 'born aristocrats' don't exist; and tread on either of those
two truths, and we'll fight you down to the last unbroken hyoid bone."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">If you have Scots-Irish ancestry, take a look at this book
to gain a better understanding of who they were and why they did what they did.
Go to call number 973 F2wjs on our shelves and spend a few hours reviewing the
content of this fascinating book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">This is one of the first books I looked at when
I started at the Family History Center. <i>The Genealogical
Researcher: Neophyte to Graduate</i> by William C. Kleese, PH. D. (Family
History Land, 2003, Softcover, comb binding, 135 pages) is derived from
seminars given by the author from 1988 through 2002. This book does just what
its title promises to do – introduces the new genealogist in beginning research
methodologies then expands into more advanced topics used by the experienced
researcher.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">As a beginner, I liked this book because it explains
how to start and record your genealogy. Dr. Kleese provides many examples of
different types of records and what information can be extracted from them. The
chapter on U.S. Church Records contains diagrams illustrating the evolution of non-Catholic
Christian churches beginning with the Church of England in 1534. Other chapters
explain how to read a land map and definitions of some census
abbreviations and much, much more.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Company, 1990-1992, Hardcover, 5265 pages) </span>is a set of 4 volumes which
includes an index and lists every Revolutionary War Pension file in
alphabetical order by the applicant's name. The pension file number is given
and is preceded by S, R, or W (Service, Rejected, or Widow's) indicating the
category of the pension file. Following the file number is a summary of
genealogical information in the pension file. The State from which the man served,
his birth location and date, where the applicant applied, where he served, and
where the applicant lived since the Revolutionary War are generally in the file
and listed in the abstract. Sometimes reference will be made to the names of
the wife and children of the applicant. Occasionally, the wife’s maiden name is
listed. </div>

The actual pension records are available online but the
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
original records are handwritten and sometimes not very legible or faded out.
White’s Abstract is valuable because an expert genealogist has examined the
files in light of what they reveal about the history of the patriot, his
movements after the war, his health at the time of filing the pension
applications and often names wives, widows and family members. Consulting
White’s volumes can be a time-saving first step to narrow down the online
search for more detailed records. It is also useful for determining at a glance
where other patriots with the same surname were located and where they settled
after the War.</div>

The reference book <i>Map Guide to the U. S. Federal Censuses, 1790 – 1920</i> by William Thorndale and William Dollarhide (Genealogical Pub. Co., 1987, Paperback, 420 pages) is a book I go to often. <br />
<br />
Most people find that locating and tracking their families back using census records is probably the easiest way to get started in tracing their families. Questions often arise when a researcher can’t find a family who had, according to family lore, lived for generations on the same land. Census records may indicate a possible move to a different county.<br />
<br />
Several reference books list formation dates of counties and the “parent” counties, but viewing the changes as illustrated in this book makes it easier to understand realignment of county boundaries and changes of jurisdiction as the population changed and the area developed. County boundaries for the times of the various censuses (all decennial federal censuses available at the time of publication) are clearly overlaid on the present-day county map, so it is easy to see the actual shifts in boundaries, making known which county to go to for more information of a particular time period. Additional information about the various census enumerations is also included.<br />

One resource I can really recommend is <i>Irish Records: Sources for Family & Local History</i> by James G. Ryan (Ancestry Publications, 1988, Hardcover, 562 pages). Our call number for this book is 941.5 D23r.<br />
<br />
I was led to this book by staff at the National Library of Ireland when I was researching there. The first 50 pages (Introduction) give a description of types of records listed for each county. There is also a list of research sources and services available for all of Ireland. This gives the name, address, phone number, and a brief description of what records they hold. An example would be:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<b>Registrar-General’s Office</b> 8-11 Lombard St. Dublin 2 Ph (01) 711000 </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“This office contains all of the official records of births, marriages and deaths for all counties since records began in 1864. It also has Church of Ireland (Protestant or Episcopalian) marriage records from April 1845 to 1864. A public research room is available where the indexes to these records can be consulted.”
</blockquote>
Using the information above, you can write for a copy of a birth, marriage or death if it occurred after 1864.<br />
<br />
You will also find a list of abbreviations used in the text. Following this, in alphabetical order are chapters for the individual counties, each with a brief history, a list of Census and census substitutes, Church records (both Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic) in alpha order by parish; showing existing records, Commercial and social directories by year, Family histories if any, Gravestone inscriptions, Newspapers and finally Wills and administrations and Miscellaneous sources like libraries, research services and societies for that county. The final page for each county is a map showing civil parishes and baronies. There is a Table of contents and a comprehensive Index.<br />
<br />
This book will define for you exactly which records are available for a specific place in a specific county. An example of this is: "County Galway, Civil parish: Dunmore, Map Grid: 11, RC Parish: Dunmore, Diocese: TU, Earliest Record: b. 3.1833 m.3.1833, Missing Dates: b 3.1864-12.1847, 10.1850- 9.1877, m. 9.1860-1.1861, Parish Address: Rev Canon Michael Walsh, PP, Dunmore, Co Galway."<br />
