Posts Delayed

The August Calendar of Events and the 52 Weeks of Online American Digital Archives and Databases: Mississippi posts will be delayed.

This past week has been the busiest yet this summer since mid-June when I attended Jamboree and then came home to prepare for a family wedding. I've been kept busy with helping several family members with paperwork for their job searches/preparation for school, as well as my various duties as 1st Vice President of my local genealogical society. Today, especially, was a long, but fun one as our society co-hosted the Walking With Ancestors tours, displays, classes and barbecue with the local cemetery association. You can see photos of this event on my Facebook account (if you're already my FB friend) and also at the EWGS blog here.

I'll get the posts up as soon as I have a chance to catch up on my rest! Thank you for your patience.

Shape Collage

Funny how a random stroll through the Internet can turn up some of the most interesting toys! I got an e-mail earlier this week that Randy Gentry of Gentry Family Tree was following me on Twitter, so after following him back, I went to take a look at his blog. At the bottom, I noticed a neat family photo collage by Shape College, a "free automatic photo collage maker." I decided to give it a whirl, downloaded the program, added 26 ancestral photos and created a small heart-shaped collage for myself:

The great thing is, you can make text collages (think Family or Ancestors or your surname!), add colored borders to the photos, use any shape, or even customize it to make all those photos create another photo of their own (you'll need a lot of photos to that!). For $25, you can upgrade to a personal pro product which will remove the watermark, create and save templates, and give you the ability to rotate, move and reorder photos within a collage.

Doesn't this sound like fun? Now go on, get busy playing! And thanks, Randy!

FamilySearch Record Search News: Millions of Historic Documents from Microfilms Emerging Digitally Online

FamilySearch’s microfilm conversion initiative is beginning to sail. Over 12 million digital images from thousands of microfilm, representing 8 countries, were published online for free viewing this month. FamilySearch’s online image viewer makes it easy for online patrons to view the newest digital images from Argentina, Costa Rica, France, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, Puerto Rico, and Spain.

This week the complete U.S. 1910 Federal Census name indexes for Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Missouri were also published online at FamilySearch’s Record Search pilot (FamilySearch.org, click Search Records, and then click Record Search pilot) and coming soon to Beta.FamilySearch.org.

See the chart below for the complete list of all the newly added or improved collections.

FamilySearch plans on digitizing and publishing online the bulk of its 2.4 million rolls of microfilm—representing 132 countries. In addition, it is now capturing millions of new images each year digitally “at birth” from its 185 field camera teams worldwide. It all translates to a steady stream of new digital image collections for genealogy enthusiasts to anticipate and enjoy.

Tombstone Tuesday: Mary Jane (BARBER) YORK CURISTON KELLER DUNLAP

Grave of Mary Jane (Barber) York Curiston Keller Dunlap, Stiles Cemetery, Lapeer, Lapeer Co., Michigan. Photographed by Mary Jo Buchart, [ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE], Michigan and privately held by Miriam Robbins Midkiff, [ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE], Spokane,Washington. 2005.

Mary Jane was my father's maternal grandmother. You can see that she was married multiple times. My grandmother and her brother were not raised by their mother; when they were very young, they were kidnapped by their father, taken across Michigan and placed in Blodgett Home in Grand Rapids, from where they were each adopted by two families in Coopersville in Ottawa County. You can read more about Mary Jane's life here.

In tracing my family history and finding the birth family of my grandmother, which led to her subsequent reuniting with her mother's family, I am happy to say that she was able to visit her mother's grave here in Stiles Cemetery several years ago, before Alzheimer's took over her mind. Grandma was also able to visit her grandmother's grave--Mary Jane's mother was also named Mary Jane. I will feature Mary Jane (FREDENBURG) BARBER DARBY SMITH KELLER's grave in a future Tombstone Tuesday post.

Interestingly enough, Mary Jane DUNLAP's first husband, Howard Merkel YORK--my great-grandfather--is also buried in this cemetery, in an unmarked plot. I discovered this after finding his obituary and calling the funeral home mentioned therein. Unfortunately, there was a fire some 30 years ago in the township office, which destroyed the burial records of Stiles Cemetery, so to my knowledge, there is no way to determine where exactly Howard is buried.
