1. Re: [APG] Question: How much to include in client report? [1]
Depending on the amount of information available (one reference versus fifteen) I note that no information was found on John Jones and currently identifed members of his family. Information is available on Jones, Smiths and Whites which have not been connected (to date) to the family being researched.

Cyndi, the book itself, as you describe it, is an ORIGINAL book (rather than PRIMARY). We may presume that the parties who actually got married did not write the entry into the church minutes

5. [APG] primary [1]
Heck you guys are so smart! Thats why I keep you around. ;-) All your answers were very helpful and gave me things to think about that I never thought of before. Now here is another couple question: Here in NY State we don't have vitals prior to 1880. It was not a law till then and took a few years till everbody did it. Some places did it on their own before that but that is not the norm. So if someone asks for a marriage or birth record prior to 1880, I can't get it. BUT some of these records a

7. [APG] Question: How much to include in client report? [1]
I have been wrestling with this question for some time now. I am sure others on this list have dealt with it, so any advise would be welcome. Frankly, I am not even sure how to ask it, but here goes. I include each source I check, regardless of the results. Sometimes nothing is found and that is easy. But when the results are negative for positive connections to the client's ancestors, yet produce lots of material with the surname(s) of interest, in the same time, in the same place, should I list each i

11. Re: [APG] [NJHUDSON] certified vs uncertified [1]
I would assume that since the first message was from a Rootsweb list, the data being discussed is for genealogical use, rather than for legal purposes. Perhaps, rather than discussing certified vs. uncertified as a primary source, the real issue, from a genealogical standpoint, should be careful analysis of *all* the data on the document. I prefer a photocopy of the original to a certified certificate. I have a certified birth certificate, which I would consider a secondary source in this case, issued in

14. Re: [APG] books on writing family history? [1]
Cindy-- Thanks for your input. We do have a decent file of newspaper articles related to the school (which was founded in 1946, so we don't have to go back quite so far as you have!). We may look into historical information about what was going on in general in the area at the time, too.

17. RE: [APG] Primary: What is derivative [1]
I always figured things the way Eileen argued, that a photocopy or a microfilm was not derivative. I think I based this on something I read by Norman Wright wriiten about 25 years ago ( have I been doing this that long!?) However, Elizabeth Shown Mills puts it in perspective in her Evidence book on page 49 where she cites Federal Civil Judicial Procedure and Rules #1002(4) which would place duplicates as derivative. So I have been teaching, and thinking this like Elizabeth has explained, yet longing for
18. [APG] The Mcs on CD [1]
I have had a similar situation with the LDS CDs for the surname McCarty. It pays to check both "M" and "C" and they usually turn up under "C." Perhaps Ancestry images are indexed that way also to some extent.

19. Breaking Prairie -- RE: [APG] could someone please tell me. [1]
"Breaking Prairie" = "Sodbuster", an early midwestern farmer or possibly a hired plowman. It differed from the plowing done in the farmlands of the east in that the prairie was solid and hard. The equipment needed had to be much stronger than that of the eastern farmer and his draft team had to be strong enough to pull through the hard sod. I've read that a good team could break 2 acres in a day -- Today we see farmers ploy down and turn 80 or more in a day. It must've been a truly hard life for those e
20. [APG] Certified vs. Uncertified [1]
My thanks to everyone who has responded to this concern about certified vs. uncertified copies (or primary vs. secondary) regarding vital records! It has been a most interesting discussion so far. Just to set the record straight - the person involved in the original email correspondence (on another Rootsweb list) was not aware that the "for informational purposes only" records being issued in NJ are photocopies of the records (made from microfilm of the originals.) He thought they were uncertified typed

Deborah Keener wrote regarding a $1250 marriage bond posted in ____ County, Tennessee, in 1896: > Do you have any ideas why such a large sum of money was connected to this marriage? Deborah, this question prompts two questions in return: 1. Has your patron read the other marriage bonds of the mid 1890s in that county itself to see how this bond compares to the others? 2. Has your patron checked the Tennessee legal code that applied to marriage bonds in 1896 to see how the rate of the bonds were to be de

Dear APGers, APG is experiencing a "chapter baby boom" this summer, with many new chapters being organized for information-sharing, support, and more.

23. RE: [APG] Certified vs. uncertified [1]
Kathy This is exactly what is going on in NJ. The "informational" copies are intended to help prevent fraud. And, most certainly, they are better than having the records closed altogether. The original Health Dept edict back in the fall 2001 was to disallow any request from anyone unable to supply virtually all the information on the certificate in question. They wanted the mother's full maiden name, father's name, exact date and place of the event, and the full name of the person on the record in ques
