Computer Training Courses, 2010

Do you want to know how to make best use of the computer-based resources at the QFHS library? Perhaps you would like more information on family history research in the Internet.

In 2010, the Society will be holding two computer training courses to introduce the use of computers in family history research. Each course comprises two sessions with all sessions being held at the QFHS library at Gaythorne.

Please note these courses are now offered to non-members as well as QFHS members.

Saturday, 7 August from 9am - 12 Noon
'Introduction to Computer Resources'
This session will provide an overview of the computer network and how to make best use of the menu system. It will also focus on the CD-based resources at Gaythorne. The aim of the session is to familiarise participants with the layout of the computer room, the types of resources available, and how to access these resources.

Saturday, 4 September from 9am - 12 Noon
'Check These Out!'
This session will introduce just some of the many genealogical sites on the Internet. The session will cover the use of search engines, Internet security, the range of resources available, and how the information available is collected. 

Please note that due to limitations in computer hardware, both of these sessions will be in a demonstration mode, as we do not have the facilities at this time for a hands-on approach. The numbers are limited to 16 places at each session. If you are not confident in the use of computers and the Internet, there is an optional introduction at starting at 8.30 am on both Saturday, 7 August and Saturday, 4 September.

The cost is $11 per session for members; however, if you are a library assistant, the cost is $2.75 per session. The non-members' fee is $15. Prices include GST. Should you wish to attend either or both of these sessions, please email Sue Reid on: smreid@tpg.com.au   Top of page

8. Great Result

Thank you for including my piece about rethinking names on certificates in the June edition of Snippets. I thought I was helping, but instead found a family in Queensland I never dreamed I had. This is a case when family tradition or statements have proved truer than information on a marriage certificate. We had for decades puzzled over the fact that the sister of our ancestor had stated her mother's name was Breame when on the marriage certificate the maiden name given was Clark and the designation spinster noted. How could this be?

A lady noted the article and thought there was something familiar about what was stated. Immediately she rang her niece who contacted me. It seems our Elizabeth Ann Clark was baptised by that name and her surname Brames seems somehow to have dropped off or never been recorded on the marriage certificate.

Best wishes,
Lefayre Palmer   Top of page

16. Queensland Birth, Deaths, Marriages Registry Same Sex Parenting Presumption

When a child has been born through the use of a fertilisation procedure (such as in-vitro fertilisation, assisted insemination or self-insemination) with the consent of the birth mother's female de facto partner the parents will be recorded as 'mother' and 'parent' on the child's birth certificate.
 
The new parenting presumption will also apply to those children who were born prior to the commencement of the new provisions (1 June 2010). The birth mother and her female de facto partner may apply to correct the birth register of the child to include the other parent's name.

22. NZSG Releases Three New Zealand Research Publications

The New Zealand Society of Genealogists has just released three new publications, which are detailed as follows:

NZ Combined Electoral Rolls 1881, 1893, 1896
1881 Electoral Rolls contain over 120,000 records; 1893 contains over 300,000 records and 1896 contains over 330,000 records. This also includes copies of the electoral maps of the times. This CD ROM is available for NZ$50.

It includes the area and value in counties and the value in boroughs and town districts. Note: Maori land ownership is omitted in the original records. Compiled by the NZ Property Tax Department from Assessment Rolls, these records were published by the Government in 1884. This CD ROM is available for NZ$25.

The Jim Pearce Index Obituaries reported in the Evening Post 1929-1977

23. Britain's National census to be axed after 200 years

The UK census is to be scrapped, and their government is looking for a new method to enumerate the people, perhaps every five years, from alternative sources such as databases held by the Royal Mail, councils and government.

The 2011 census will not be affected, even though £300 million has already been spent preparing for it. But as things stand, the next census will be the last in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

25. Lancashire online records

For those of you researching ancestors in Lancashire, you might want to check out these two websites:

26. Scottish Author Seeks Descendants of 6,500 Lost Boys

Scottish author Gordon Douglas, who wrote the book 'We'll Send Ye Tae the Mars', is searching for relatives of 6,500 homeless and destitute boys who served on the Mars Training Ship which was moored on the River Tay, near Dundee, Scotland for sixty years between 1869 and 1929.He has almost completed a second book about the fate of many of the boys, 'Sons of the Mars', and would like to discover and hear from some of the boys' descendants.

In 19th century Scotland, poverty and disease were rife and, although transportation to Australia had stopped in 1857, many children had no option other than to steal to survive and a good number ended up in prison. This could not go on, however, and so the idea of a training ship for Dundee was born. 'We'll Send Ye Tae the Mars' is the fascinating history of how it all happened and how the Mars helped thousands of boys and equipped them to find a new life away from the poverty and crime.

The first book, 'We'll Send Ye Tae the Mars' can be previewed from the website http://www.sonsofthemars.com/  The website also has a searchable database for the Sons of Mars Training Ship. The site is free, but requires registration.   Top of page

27. National Library of Scotland's historic collection on Flickr:

From the poignant last letter of Mary, Queen of Scots, to First World War photographs in the personal collection of Field Marshal Earl Haig, treasured images from the National Library of Scotland's historic collection have been shared worldwide through the website Flickr.

The NLS has released more than 2,000 archived images, in one of the biggest-ever groups of photographs placed on the Flickr's "The Commons" website.

In addition, more than 40 other cultural organisations have added images to the website, ranging from the National Galleries of Scotland, to the Imperial War Museum, to US archives such as the Brooklyn Museum or Library of Congress.

28. Scots Breakthrough in Helping Families Go Back to Their Roots

Scottish scientists have found a way to identify a person's family roots to within a few miles, raising the possibility that city dwellers could soon trace their descendants back to their ancestral village. Edinburgh University experts used volunteers from small communities in the north of Scotland, Italy and Croatia to quickly scan half a million DNA letters - the chemical combinations that make up our genes - and pinpointed in some cases 100% accurately where their distant relatives lived.

29. Second Boer War Records Database Now Online

Between 1899-1902, Dutch-speaking settlers and soldiers from the British Empire fought battles in South Africa. More than 55,000 British soldiers were killed, captured or wounded in the Second Boer War. Another 12,000 soldiers died from disease, 86 soldiers were killed or injured by lightning, while one was eaten by a crocodile.

Casualties of the Boer War, 1899-1902, is now available online at Ancestry.co.uk at http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=1912   Top of page

30. Ellis Island, New York

Close to the mouth of the Hudson River in New York Harbor is a small island that was formerly known as Oyster Island. It was renamed Ellis Island and became the gateway to the United States for more than 10 million immigrants between its opening in 1892 and its closing in 1931.

Many of the Ellis Island records have also been transcribed into computer databases and are available online. Images of the original records are also available online. With a bit of patience, you may find your ancestor in the records at: http://www.ellisisland.org/   Top of page

31. Granite Mountain Records Vault Videos Online

You may have heard of the Granite Mountain vault that is underneath 700 feet of granite outside of Salt Lake City, but very few have ever seen the inside of the vault. FamilySearch has released videos that give all of us a view into the operations behind the vault door.

A range of records are stored in the vault, including microfilms and other media.
Many of the images stored in the Granite Mountain Records Vault are the only copies left in existence.

The Granite Mountain Records Vault videos are available in two parts: For video number one, go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfXVvWb0qOQ

32. Living Beyond 100 Years

Scientists have known for years that the genes you inherit from your ancestors can make a big difference in your longevity. However, a recent study finds that, while genes are important, many other factors under each person's control can lengthen or shorten your lifespan. That's no surprise. What is new, however, is that scientists have now developed a way of predicting how likely a person is to live beyond the age of 100. Even better, you will soon be able to obtain a personalised report with suggestions on increasing your own lifespan.
