1. [APG] Re: APG-D Digest V01 #204 [1]
In reply to Nathan's question about Italian census records.... most census-type records in Italy are not open to the public, as they are in the United States. In some areas of Italy, census records, which were usually taken for tax purposes, exist from the mid-1700s. The information they contain varies from place to place, if they exist at all. The Italian state government began taking general censuses in 1861 and every 10 years after that. The information is not consistent and often only the head of house
2. RE: [APG] Client and certification question [0.979831]
I was never asked to give the amount paid for a report. So I think that is a non-issue. However, I believe that the time element may be. By giving the Board a feel for the amount of time allowed for a designated project, you can let them see how you work within the set goals, establish priorities, and remain on tract for the project. Anyway, those are my thoughts. Pat Patricia Walls Stamm, CGRS specializing in St. Louis Catholic research. http://www.stlouisgenealogy.com CGRS is a service mark of the Bo
3. [APG] Update on GRO in Scotland [0.979831]
Just back from a week in Scotland/Ireland and thought I would post some thoughts... 1. The General Records Office in Edinborough is a very short block from the train station. It is -very- easy to take a train in the morning, pop over to the GRO, and then back to the train station. 2. If you intend to return during rush hour, be specific when you buy a round trip train ticket ( I was staying in Glasgow and went to Edinborough for the day.) Otherwise the seller may sell you a restricted ticket and you will no
4. [APG] Rodent Droppings [0.979831]
I've cut/pasted below an urgent message from Karen Mitchell of Huerfano County, Colorado. She is trying to save early Huerfano County records that are currently housed in a dirt-floored storage area with a leaky roof. She said, "I picked up an old leather bound ledger that was dated 1874 that was laying in the dirt. The records are covered with dirt and rodent droppings, and smell very damp." If you have any interest in Colorado record preservation, or for that matter, preservation of genealogically valuab
5. Re: [APG] Civil War Record Problem [0.979831]
An interesting source, and more than you may ever want to know, is Mabel E. Deutrich, "The Struggle for Supremacy: The Career of General Fred C. Ainsworth." Washington: Public Affairs Press, 1962. Gen. Ainsworth was the mastermind behind the Army's pension and compiled military records systems from 1886 to 1912 and was responsible more than anyone else for the way Civil War records were maintained, rearranged, copied, and abstracted during that period. Deutrich was a records manager, historian, and

Donald W. Moore wroe: > With the technology available today, there really is > no reason to publish digitally in a proprietary format > unless you want to lock customers in to your products. Bingo. That and to prevent you from easily transfering the data to your own databases. I "do" Pences, collecting information from wherever I can and putting it into my own databases as a finding aid. Here's a big difference: With the LDS 1880 census, I was about to extract all the PENC

A fine database, but I don't see any indication that it is free for 10 days. I believe Ancestry no longer has the 10 day free trial going for any of the newly added databases, which is a shame. http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/5696.htm Regards, Joe (born in St.Louis) "Patricia Stamm" wrote: >Free on Ancestry.com for the next ten days will be the St. Louis Death >Index.

Does anyone have an example of a population schedule reporting that a person or a family being quarantined for smallpox? In other words.. NOT a mortality schedule, but a regular census page. Kathy
9. [APG] Re: APG-D Digest V01 #192 [0.979831]
I believe the BCG instruction manual is quite specific on the extended project required for CGRS certification. Basically, the extended project is focused around a research problem that cannot be solved with any one source document. Rather, the problem demands a correlated set of information from multiple sources. Does anyone disagree?

10. [APG] Hemp Certificate [0.979831]
I have a question for you. I found that an ancestor received a HEMP Certificate. I finally figured out that it was for growing hemp/tabacco. If I am wrong please let me know before I confirm to my client that I am totally out of it. Second does anyone have a copy of one that they would share? I am really interested in this new found certificate. Thanks Kris Richins
11. Re: [APG] Billing question continued [0.979831]
The term "cost of doing business" is a relatively meaningless term when it is taken out of context to hourly income vs. net income. The key word here, is "relatively." Consider this researcher's situation: Joan Genealogist charges $20 per hour. She is an efficient researcher. She's good at what she does. Joan finds and copies 100 pages of documents in 30 minutes! Here's her bill to Customer A: $10 - .5 hours labor @ $20 per hour $20 - 100 1st copies @ 20 cents each (no charge for 2nd copies) ------ $

It may turn out that there was a general epidemic, but I have encountered two instances similar to what you describe and both times the stated cause of the multiple deaths was typhoid fever, probably contracted through bad well water.

One of the first purchases I made when I started researching for clients was a Xerox copy machine. After figuring the cost of toner, paper, etc. I determined the cost of each copy [several years ago] to be about .03 cents. I make copies of the documents I plan to send to the client at the research facility where I find the information, and charge the client the actual cost of the copies. From those copies, I make copies for my files on my home copy machine before I send the report. I do not charge the cl

No, Everett, I think what I wrote is correct. As stated in your bio and in the following, Mr. Hollerith's marvelous invention - the punch card - was used not to index the census, but to tabulate it. From the opening paragraphs of _Computer Genealogy_, by Paul Andereck and Richard A. Pence (Salt Lake City: Ancestry, Inc., 1985): The United States census - that vital source of much family information - was also a major force affecting the growth of computing. By the t

They lived in Alexandria, LA. Rebecca, can you be more specific? How "late" in 1819? How many were "several"? Were they native Louisianians or transplants? What was their economic status? Did they actually live in the town of Alexandria (then very small) or on an outlying farm? All of these could be markers for "cause of death." Epide

From a client's viewpoint, I know what my opinion would be of a researcher who asked me to send them copies of something THEY sent me in a previous report: VERY unprofessional, and I would surely engage someone else. 2.

20. [APG] Re: Copyright, again/. [0.979831]
As professional Genealogist we need to take seriously the remarks of Mr. Richard Pence. We work hard to do our reports and even harder on our research. When we put our name on a project, it is our mark. We want to make a name for ourselves that give us the "Brownie Points" that we have earned. Not the person who stole it. The pats on the back, or worse the report of what we did wrong, is ours. We also must give credit to the people who's work or information we are quoting. Our clients know that

It's always an education to participate in a discussion on this list. It forces me to take the time to think it through and say exactly what I mean rather than pop off something quick as I did a few days ago. Over the past few weeks we have had several threads about the real cost of printouts and copies. Some researchers were asking about charging for photocopies and whether to charge for their file copies or to take that out of their hourly rate. I added that you could add the cost of mailing those copi
24. [APG] Records from late 1800 Insurance Companies [0.979831]
I am wondering if any of you have had any luck acquiring life insurance benefit records from life insurance companies operating in the late 1800s. If so, how do you find out how to contact. In particular I am interested in Charter Oak Life Insurance for a policy holder who died in St. Joseph, MO in 1874. Any information, suggestions, comments appreciated. Thanks-- Sharlene Miller St. Joseph, Missouri
