1. Chabak, Susie -RE: [APG] Customer Base [1]
Dear Susie and Ruthie, Welcome to the club. Where will you primarily be doing research? What will be your niche? The answers to these questions will help you decide how best to market yourself. The best advice I can give anyone who is just beginning a business in professional genealogy is to take some SBA (Small Business Administration) classes through your local community Ed. Professional Genealogists have the same business needs and financial requirements as doctors, lawyers or cosmetologists, sans
2. NGS Conference Hotel [1]
Hi Folks, I have just checked the hotel in Sacramento (Sheraton Grand) which is hosting the NGS Conference and they have both wireless and wired high speed internet for those who bring laptops. The wireless is only in the lobby area and for guests, there is no charge for the wireless. For the wired in each room is a charge of $9.95 per day and that too is high speed access. Thought that would help those who bring laptops. Alvie L. Davidson CGRS CGRS, Certified Genealogical Record Specialist, is a service m

4. ISP's, Domains, etc. [1]
Denise, Sign up with a local ISP, for space. If you have problems you can visit their offices. Your account with them should include X amount of storage which should be sufficient to start you off. You can always purchase more if you need it. I registered my domain name through Network Solutions. Be ware other companies will contact you and try to get you to register through them, so pay attention to who is sending the invoice. You will need to decide what type of "dot" you want to be, you will
5. Community charts? [1]
I'm wondering if anyone can recommend some software that will allow me to put together "family trees" that are less generational (not beyond three generations) but which show community intermarriages during a particular time frame. I suppose I want a "Community trees" sort of thing rather than a bloodlines based chart. Is anyone familiar with a product that could do this even if it's not a "dedicated" piece of software? Thank you. Barbara Schenck
6. Creating Databases for online websites [1]
Hi Fellow Members. I am looking for some coaching and/or some help in getting some work online that will be free for researchers of a particular village in Italy. I and some "distant" cousins are working on extracting records for the Village of Senerchia, Avellino Province, Italy. I will be creating a free website for Senerchia in an attempt to bring descendants of Senerchia together. It is a small village and many of the families intermarried. Of course, it is the village in which my grandfather
7. Need Suggestions Concerning Becoming Certified [1]
Good morning, I am beginning the process of becoming certified and am nearing the time when I will send my application to the BCG. I have narrowed my choice of categories to between "CG" and "CGRS," although my mind could be changed through additional information. I'm leaning, if slightly, toward "CG." A nice little green pamphlet titled, Which Category is Right for You? from APG regarding the selection choices briefly describes what one needs for each category. I love to create family genealogies
8. certification renewal question [1]
Colleagues, I need help deciphering what is asked for in the certification renewal guide. Section REN 2: Activities asked for "your recognition of educational or technological advances in the field". I don't have a clue what that means. Does it means the standards, Power Point presentations? Will those of who have recently renewed your certification give me feed-back on this? Thanks.

9. Re: [APG] Future Census - High Tech? [1]
For the last few censuses, there have been three ways that Census Bureau collected the data. Most people were in the first two groups, and the form got mailed to you and you mailed it back, with a personal visit by an enumerator only if you did not mail it back. The third group, called "list/enumerate" were those who resided in rural areas. There, many people get the mail at P.O. boxes and other people get their mail sent to "Rural Route 1" or something similar. This is not detailed enough address infor
10. RE: [APG] Eugenics Record Office Records [1]
See pages 647-648 of my chapter "Tracking Twentieth-Century Ancestors" in The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy, revised edition, 1997. The records were filmed and placed in the FHL collection cataloged under "United States - Medical Records." However, a few years ago the collection was withdrawn for public inspection because of privacy issues. This is unfortunate because the collection was incredible. There were over 20,000 twelve-page questionnaires that gave extensive information on parents, gr

12. Professionalism Re: APG-D Digest V04 #135 [1]
I think the certification and accreditation processes we have in place with existing organizations are great, very rigorous (BCG, ICapGen...). Training available at Samford and RIGS alliance and NIGR looks incredible, and I've heard good things about them from those of you who have taken those courses. Resource books now available are plentiful, if painful on the pocketbook! (I particularly like it that Pro. Gen. can double as a door stop - though regretfully cannot be read in bed without endanger
13. RE: [APG] Customer Base [1]
You didn't mention what type of genealogical business you are. If you are just starting out, take a small business card ad in the APG Quarterly. That gets your name out with an idea of the type of services you offer. If you are researchers, are you on your local or area genealogical society's "researchers for hire" list. These are two suggestions. I'm sure when the others get back from California, there will be others. Pat Patricia Walls Stamm, CGRS website: www.stlouisgenealogy.com ++++++++++++++++

If you've not attended the classes at IGHR in Samford, I highly recommend those as a good base for building your knowledge, both genealogically and business-wise.

16. suicide records [1]
What, if any, records might exist specifically for a death due to suicide. Older family members will not talk to younger members about a suicide that took place in the 1950s in MD. Would there have been a coroner's report or some other record (other than the death certificate, obit, probate, social security, church and cemetery records) that could be examined to shed some light on the death.

17. Re: APG-D Digest V04 #135 [1]
About local zoning regulations in respect to a genealogical business: It depends, as others have commented, on the kind of services being provided. Generally, if you conduct your business at home and do not have clients coming to the house, taking up parking spaces, do not have a sign in front of your house or in a window, and otherwise keep your business within your home, there is no problem. I had an active business as a writer and editor for over thirty years before becoming a professional gene

Good Morning Folks, After getting some work for an attorney in Tampa I worked only on word of mouth work as one attorney told another and then another and the rest is history. My genealogical skills has been mostly used to work for title attorneys who want to fix broken land titles and to find long time missing heirs for estates. I have no need to do any advertising even though I do have a web page. Alvie L. Davidson CGRS CGRS, Certified Genealogical Record Specialist, is a service mark of the Board for C

20. Re: [APG] Death Certificate for WW-II soldier [1]
I have never requested a death record for someone who died on foreign soil but the general instruction is to get a death record of a U S Citizen who died abroad from the U S State Department. I would simultaneously write to the Dept of State and the Dept of Veterans Affairs. Both have web pages and you can get addresses. Unless you are close kin, you might have some difficulty getting these but go for it. Alvie L. Davidson CGRS CGRS, Certified Genealogical Record Specialist, is a service mark of the Board
21. "Licensed" Genealogist [1]
Alvie and all: Back about 10 years ago - before everyone started having access to the Internet - the most used method of communicating in genealogy was through the Genealogy Conference on the old FidoNet BBS amateur network. There was a participant who insisted on billing herself as a "Licensed Genealogist." As moderator of the conference, I smelled something fishy and did some checking. Turns out what the lady had was a license from the city conduct a business in her home. Since this license was available
22. Re: [APG] Re: APG-D Digest V04 #135 [1]
Home based businesses require a business license in both my city and county and the regulations include all those things Mary Jane listed. If you haven't checked your local jurisdiction, I urge you do so. Especially if you advertise locally, are listed with the local library or historical society, claim pay for jury duty, get pr notices in the newspaper for speaking engagements or workshops, etc. The license fee is basically a local tax and tax collectors look for every penny due. Go to your loca

Hello Alvie, You can find information on National Archives microfilm of passport applications (including indexes) here... http://www.archives.gov/research_room/genealogy/research_topics/passport_applications.html There's also a section that discusses when passports were and weren't required. See "limitations" in part 2. Good luck with your search.
