1. RE: [APG] Including URLs in citations [1]
Valorie, 9 Jan 05 To my knowledge Google does not require one to type the term 'SEARCHTERM' before the word 'site' to perform a site specific search. It works for me to simply type into the Google search field 'site:rootsweb.com xxxxxx' to view the results.

2. An explanation of a genealogist's copyright [1]
I'd like to work (off-list) with anyone who is interested in developing a good, for lack of a better word, "universal" explanation/policy of why we copyright our work when we give it to clients. Something along the lines of APG's "Why Hire a Professional". If I could use such an explanation on my website and in my literature, perhaps others could also? I'd like something simple and non-threatening. Some of our stuff comes off a bit too high-brow or legalese sometimes for the every-day Joe and Joan who w
3. Re: [APG] Long-Winded Contract Question [1]
I had not answered either, but my thoughts are the same as yours --- well said! And let me go one step further -- aimed at "us." A list of researchers is maintained at our local genealogy library and given on request (with no referrals or opinion by the library staff). However, I tell those in my classes as well as those who call me (when I can't take the assignment) to use the list wisely. If the researcher does not disclose full information: name, address, phone#, e-mail address - as well as someth
4. conflict of interest [1]
How does a professional genealogist deal with "sharing" research with her/his local genealogical society? I am just getting started and would like help in resolving an apparent conflict of interest. My local county genealogical society earns hundreds of dollars each year on requests for research conducted by genealogical society volunteers at the society's center. When I have clients seeking information I would be remiss in not checking the records housed at the center. But, my "taking business away" from
5. Re: APG-D Digest V05 #10 [1]
Donn, I agree. Isn't that the beauty of working online? That is, it does not matter where you live or from where you are working. If I were "telecommuting" from my home office and contacted a client of the company, I would not say that this message was coming from my bedroom and that I am in my nightgown and slippers, but that the message is from the XYZ Company home office. Similarly, when I find a record online, it does not matter whether I am physically in my home office or at a library. I c

9. HeritageQuest citation [1]
I am going back over about 500 census record citations and adding the source sentence at the end. (So this does not concern the preceding information in the citation.) From the information supplied from Ms. Mills at the FGS conference and the examples in Evidence!, it looks like the full citation and the bibliographic citation can be identical. My example: Full citation and bibliography: Downloaded from HeritageQuest at http://persi.heritagequestonline.com on 15 October 2004. Short citation: Online
10. Unfamiliar census term [1]
Colleagues, I have a census entry I can't interpret. I call on your collective wisdom and experience. In the 1910 federal population census for Osage County Kansas [Ancestry.com, Burlingame Township, Osage County Kansas, NARA T624, Roll 451, part 2, page 33B, SD 4, ED 94, sheet No. 5B, family 188, dwelling 110, line 1] there is an entry for George Rambeau who lists the birth place of his parents as Mex Spanish. George was born in Tennessee and was a horse trainer. To me Mex Spanish could be Texas be
11. RE: [APG] re: Authors and speaking [1]
Richard, That is entirely different kettle of fish. Some conferences are by invitation only and no proposals are sought. Some conferences with proposals will also do invitations to those who did not submit if their expertise fills a void. Your personal observation of notoriety in these cases is apropos but the hundreds of people who do submit proposals and are in the majority receiving "no thank yous" wonder what the difference is? Jana deftly described that it is a matter of matching what the conference p
12. Re: [APG] A Nevada marriage that was recorded in St. Louis, MO? [1]
Chad: I was researching a family in Markleeville, California in the late 1800s and the only place I found ANY records of births, deaths, marriages was in the Diocese of Reno's records. Actually, some were not there but in Carson City at St. Theresa's. The secretary at the Diocese office said at one point in time all the parishes were to bring in their records so the Diocese could compile an index. St. Theresa's disappeared so it didn't get included. So I drove over there, and lo and behold there they w

16. RE: [APG] Info from Social Security [1]
They do not tell you all the ins and outs of the numident. If a person was born in 1900 and died in 1975, there will most likely be nothing on the numident because they SSA did not begin to input the data until much later. I have set the usual beginning date by my experience at a birthdate of 1912-1915 when you will most likely get a good numident report. This has been my experience...that is why I always order the SS-5 because that is always there if the person had a number. My two cents worth. Alvie L.
17. Re: [APG] Is this primary citation correct? [1]
Doug: As usual, I'm a bit behind on my "list" reading. Only now have I seen your query of earlier this week about Ontario civil registration citations. I'm going to take a slightly different approach to this than my colleagues in Toronto and in Regina. My opinion is that the most essential elements of your citation are the registration number, the registration year and the FHL microfilm number you consulted -- as in: Mike Tricker, Ontario civil death registration 023504 (1899); Microfilm 1854392, Family
18. Re: Teaching Kids [1]
Sorry to come late to this discussion, but want to mention some of my favorites for using with kids... My Back Yard History Book by David Weitzman isn't a genealogy-only book but includes lots of family finding information in a kid-friendly format. And don't forget the use of fiction books. Three for your age group that come to mind are Search for the Shadowman by Joan Lowery Nixon; Family Tree by Katherine Ayers; and Backwater by Joan Bauer. Your children's librarian should have a copy of Be
19. RE: [APG] Type of Business [1]
I live in Florida and when I got heavily into getting my business off the ground about 15-20 years ago, I checked out what I had to do to comply with state law and the Secretary of State told me that if I traveled this road I would have to become a license private investigator and I would have to register my business in my own county. This led me to getting Error & Omission insurance and paying $85 per year for the county business license. Technically I am a professional genealogist but legally I stepped in

22. a question about certification [1]
I'm not sure what I need to do with this inclusion in my certification portfolio. So I would appreciate the help. I have a client I did a project for that a report was given to the findings, as well as a copy of the document. I did not transcribe the whole document for this client, as it is in old script and a transcription was not part of our agreement. However, I did explain where on the document the answer is located. My question is will the judges be harder on you when you used a land record for

I have found an important clue in an IGI Family Group Record. It lists a Lee family that I am following: Sebe Lee, unknown wife and 5 children (David, Emory, Edward, George and Mary) born 1818-1827 in NY. I have much information on the male children in later census records of Chemung & Schuyler Co., NY. There is no additional information on the IGI record. My question: If I order the information from the batch number, what additional details will I be likely to find? David & Emory were born in Westchest
