The Latest Consultant News From FamilySearch

The following is from FamilySearch.


FamilySearch Consultant Newsletter

May 2012

Welcome to the family history consultant newsletter. We’re excited to now be hosting this publication online, so you can easily access articles, see past issues, share your comments, see what others have written, and help grow the community of family history consultants and priesthood leaders. In this issue:


1940 Census Update

On April 2 of this year, FamilySearch, its partners, and an army of volunteers embarked on a truly remarkable effort to index the 1940 U.S. Federal Census so that the public could easily and quickly find their ancestors in this valuable census collection. Many people living today are listed in this census. For others, their parents, aunts, uncles, friends, and neighbors can be found. This census collection has long been anticipated by genealogists and the general public with great excitement. Read all about the progress of this great cause.
 


Consultant Monthly Survey

Starting with this issue, each of the family history consultant and leader monthly newsletters will include a link to a consultant survey. We want your feedback! This month we want to know about you and your calling. Click here to take the survey. Be sure to check back next issue to see this month’s results.
 


Family Tree Update

The Family Tree team has been really busy fixing defects and preparing for the release of several new features to help you better manage the relationships between individuals. Before we can turn those features on, we’ve got to finish the non-trivial task of moving all 1.25 billion relationships into the Family Tree. Yes, that’s over a billion! We have about 130 million left. Read more.
 


BillionGraves Memorial Day Opportunity

This is the time of year when people around the world are focusing their attention toward remembering and honoring their loved ones who have died. As you visit the gravesites of your ancestors, why not bring your smartphone along and capture images of your loved one’s tombstones? Learn how.







Call for Research Help

You may not know this, but FamilySearch volunteers facilitate free research help in more than 100 online communities. These genealogy research communities have been created to help you and others researching in the same area to ask questions and receive answers, collaborate on your research, and share knowledge you have gained as you’ve done your own research in a specific area.One such example is the Ohio research page. To see all available research help projects, visit https://familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/Join_a_Facebook_Research_Community. Join a Facebook research community today, and share your knowledge with the world!
 


Story Chain

Our mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and neighbors found in the 1940 census are known as "the greatest generation." We all have special memories of those found in this important historical collection—now it’s time to record and archive those stories. FamilySearch is providing everyone the unique opportunity to remember and share with the world just what they feel made these people great. On this new FamilySearch site you can submit photos, scrapbook pages, stories, or links to videos and Facebook pages in their honor under the Who’s In It tab. You can also post information about How It Was living where they lived, as well as stories telling Where They Were during major events in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The power of this online experience is that you can start a family and friend “Story Chain” and invite others to join in the conversation! Read what others have written and share your stories here.

 


New Blog Format

You may have noticed something different about the family history consultant and leader monthly newsletter—we’re now delivering it via a blog. That means we’ve created an online community where you can get ideas, share successes, and engage with others from around the world who share your same calling.  Read more here.
 


Success Stories

Ward Family History Activity: I would like to share some insights from a family history activity that was put on by a ward. The details of this activity were shared with us by Sue Maxwell, who also posts to her own family history blog.Read the post and share your success story, too!

Brazilian Youth Connect Family History, Temple Work:  The director of the family history center adjacent to the Campinas Brazil Temple started inviting visiting youth to participate in indexing when not in the temple. As a result, young people index thousands of names at the center and even more once they return home. Click here to read more.

NEHGS Wins Two Top Awards For Lowell Genealogy



The following is from the New England Historical Genealogical Society (NEHGS).

 NEHGS WINS TWO TOP AWARDS FOR


LOWELL GENEALOGY

Scott Steward and Christopher Child Share Top Prizes from NGS and CSG

Christopher C. Child on Left, Scott C. Steward on Right.

Boston, MA – May 22, 2012 – The New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) announced today that one of its latest Newbury Street Press titles, The Descendants of Judge John Lowell of Newburyport, Massachusetts, by Scott C. Steward and Christopher C. Child, has won top honors from both the National Genealogical Society and the Connecticut Society of Genealogists. The awards were handed out at recent ceremonies hosted by each organization.

The National Genealogical Society (NGS) awarded Christopher C. Child the 2012 “Award for Excellence: Genealogy and Family History Book” on May 11, during the NGS annual conference held this year in Cincinnati, Ohio. The Connecticut Society of Genealogists (CSG) honored both authors with the 2012 “Literary Award, Grand Prize for Genealogy” at its annual luncheon on May 19 in Berlin, Connecticut.

NEHGS Director of Publications and book co-author Scott C. Steward said, “We had hoped to make the Lowell book a model, both as a genealogy and as an example of book production at Newbury Street Press, so having our work recognized by NGS and CSG is doubly rewarding.”

The book marks the first full treatment of the Lowell family since an 1899 genealogy written by Delmar R. Lowell. This new book traces descendants of Judge John Lowell (1743-1802) to the present day, and includes famous descendants Francis Cabot Lowell, for whom the city of Lowell, Massachusetts is named; John Lowell, Jr., founder of the Lowell Institute in Boston; James Russell Lowell, the poet and diplomat; astronomer Percival Lowell; Harvard president Abbott Lawrence Lowell; the poets Amy Lowell and Robert Traill Spence Lowell; architect Guy Lowell; and Isabella Stewart Gardner, art patron and museum founder. The book comprises more than one thousand entries for heads of families. Because of several early cousin marriages, many Lowell descendants have two or even three lines of descent from Judge John Lowell.

This marks the first time that NEHGS has won both a national and a regional award for one of its books. NEHGS publishes a number of titles each year, including genealogies, biographies, and instructional and resource books. NEHGS publishes its genealogies under the Newbury Street Press imprint. Learn more at www.AmericanAncestors.org

Why Combine Food History with Family History?


by guest author Gena Philibert-Ortega, Food.Family.Ephemera Blog .

It’s a common concern that I hear from genealogists as I speak at societies and conferences. What will happen to my genealogy when I die?  Untold amounts of time, money and research goes into learning more about our ancestors. Unfortunately, this investment is not always appreciated by our family members.


Why don’t the non-genealogists in our family appreciate all that we have given and provide them in the pursuit of our roots? Well I haven’t done a full scale study of that topic but I can tell you one reason they are less than thrilled.


Genealogy is boring.


Yes, that’s right. Now you may be surprised I would say such a thing. After all, I’ve been interested in genealogy since I was a kid and I’m happy to spend time in places like cemeteries, libraries and archives. But I will reiterate that genealogy is boring. Don’t get me wrong, genealogy doesn’t have to be boring. Genealogy can be boring in the same way that 8th grade history was boring. When someone shows you charts with names and dates that make no sense to you, that can be boring. Those random facts have no meaning to the non-genealogist.


But, what happens when you tell the story of how your grandfather flew a B-17 during World War II and was nearly shot down? Or when you learn that your 8th great-grandmother was tried as a witch in the Salem Witch Trials. The stories behind the lives are a lot different than focusing on a bunch of facts about dead people on a chart. That’s bringing history to life. That is history at its best.


When I tell my kids that my great-grandfather served in the Navy, it’s not that interesting to them. But when I make that event come alive by showing them photos of the actual ship he was on, that takes family history to a different level and they are excited.


So what does this have to do with food?



New Mexico. Mrs. Fidel Romero Proudly Exhibits Her Canned Food. U.S. National Archives http://www.flickr.com/photos/usnationalarchives/4546092248/


One experience we have in common with all of our ancestors is food. Now we may obtain food in a more modern way and we may prepare it differently but like us, our ancestors had to eat. When we explore food and what was available to our ancestors it helps to bring their lives into focus. We get a better sense of what life was like for them. From this knowledge we can weave stories into our family histories that make our ancestors more interesting and allows our readers (i.e., family) to better understand their lives. Stories are interesting, names and dates are not.


A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to hear stories of food told by NGS conference goers as they stopped to look at my new book in the exhibit hall. I heard stories of food traditions so different than what I am accustomed to that I wanted to know more. Their stories of food brought their ancestor’s to life in a way that a chart could never do.


What did your ancestors eat? I will be exploring the topic of food and family history in this week’s virtual blog tour but it is also addressed more in depth in my new book, From the Family Kitchen .


I encourage you to start writing. Write down what your family eats. What foods have been passed down? What are your family’s food traditions? What did you most immediate ancestors, like your grandparents eat? What foods did you eat at holiday celebrations? These types of memories are what build a family history. Consider adding this type of detail to your research and to your own memoires. Someday your descendants will be ecstatic that you chose to share your life with them.
