5 Paths to Researching your Ancestor
by Gena Philibert Ortega

Sometimes, as we research, we lose track of how we should go about our research project or what steps can help us get past brickwalls. The following are some ways to focus your research and find answers beyond just researching your ancestor's surname on the internet. Now everyone probably has their own theory about how to go about family history research, my way is just one of many but it is an effort to cover all aspects of your ancestor's life and to better understand their life. It's not for those who just want to collect names and dates, rather it is for those who want to better understand their ancestor's life and times and find a variety of records that document that life.

Census Records for Latin America and the Hispanic United States
By Lyman D. Platt

This is the largest and most complete survey of census records available for Latin America and the Hispanic United States. The result of exhaustive research in Hispanic archives, it contains a listing of approximately 4,000 separate censuses, each listed by country and alphabetically by locality, province, year, and reference locator. The enormous number of census records identified by Dr. Platt in the course of his twenty-five-year investigation will surprise and delight the serious researcher and none more so than the family historian researching his/her Hispanic roots.

Surnames that mean Something

Are you researching a surname that doubles as a noun or verb? Maybe your family surname is Love, House or Wood. This kind of research can be difficult especially when you are trying to "Google" that surname to find relevant websites. Some tips in conducting research with a tricky surname are:

Al llegar los españoles e iniciada la conquista, según cuentan los cronistas de la época, una mujer igualmente vestida de blanco y con las negras crines de su pelo tremolando al viento de la noche, aparecía por el Sudoeste de la Capital de la Nueva España y tomando rumbo hacia el Oriente, cruzaba calles y plazuelas como al impulso del viento, deteniéndose ante las cruces, templos y cementerios y las imágenes iluminadas por lámparas votivas en pétreas ornacinas, para lanzar ese grito lastimero que hería el alma.

-----Aaaaaaaay mis hijos.......

Aaaaaaay aaaaaaay!---- El lamento se repetía tantas veces como horas tenía la noche la madrugada en que la dama de vestiduras vaporosas jugueteando al viento, se detenía en la Plaza Mayor y mirando hacia la Catedral musitaba una larga y doliente oración, para volver a levantarse, lanzar de nuevo su lamento y desaparecer sobre el lago, que entonces llegaba hasta las goteras de la Ciudad y cerca de la traza.

Jamás hubo valiente que osara interrrogarla.

Todos convinieron en que se trataba de un fantasma errabundo que penaba por un desdichado amor, bifurcando en mil historias los motivos de esta aparición que se transplantó a la época colonial.

Los románticos dijeron que era una pobre mujer engañada, otros que una amante abandonada con hijos, hubo que bordaron la consabida trama de un noble que engaña y que abandona a una hermosa mujer sin linaje.

Lo cierto es que desde entonces se le bautizó como "La llorona", debido al desgarrador lamento que lanzaba por las calles de la Capital de Nueva España y que por muchos lustros constituyó el más grande temor callejero, pues toda la gente evitaba salir de su casa y menos recorrer las penumbrosas callejas coloniales cuando ya se había dado el toque de queda.

Muchos timoratos se quedaron locos y jamás olvidaron la horrible visión de "La llorona" hombres y mujeres "se iban de las aguas" y cientos y cientos enfermaron de espanto.

Poco a poco y al paso de los años, la leyende de La Llorona, rebautizada con otros nombres, según la región en donde se aseguraba que era vista, fue tomando otras nacionalidades y su presencia se detectó en el Sur de nuestra insólita América en donde se asegura que todavía aparece fantasmal, enfundada en su traje vaporoso, lanzando al aire su terrífico alarido, vadeando ríos, cruzando arroyos, subiendo colinas y vagando por cimas y montañas.

When is Family History like Star Wars?

Now, I'm sure most of you someone who has gone to a Star Wars or Star Trek convention. I've never actually experienced one of these strange gatherings, but I think I can understand some of the reasons for such a gathering. A few years ago I decided to go to the first midnight showing of the third Star Wars movie. This was quite the spectacle and even though I'm not a HUGE fan of Star Wars I couldn't help but get wrapped up in the excitement. There were people in costumes with choreographed light saber duels. People cheered when the opening credits started and cheered even more when Yoda pulled out his light saber. It was a blast and the excitement was contagious. It's no wonder why people travel from all over the country to share in their excitement.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go to a family history conference? It is an experience every person interested in Family History should try to have at least once. Just like those "Star Wars Geeks", there is a common bond between participants and an atmosphere of new information at every turn. The excitement for Family History is just as contagious. Although no one is dressed up in weird costumes or carrying a family history light saber, we all walk around eager to learn and eager to share our latest breakthrough.

There are many large family history conferences in a variety of areas around the united states and a multitude of smaller ones which are presented by family history centers and genealogical societies around the world. Some are free and others are not so free, but the variety is plentiful. Even the ones that cost will usually let you roam the display area without charge. This is a great way to get your feet wet if you're not completely ready to plunge into an entire conference (they can run anywhere from a day to an entire week). Some of the table vendors, like us, will hand out free tickets to their classes if you stop by their booth. This is yet another way to grab free info. We will be handing out free tickets at out own booth at the upcoming Redding, CA Family History Expo on Oct. 16th-17th.

If you would like to find us at a future Family History Expo, you can view our calendar here.. Although we aren't at every expo you can get the latest info on large expos at www.fhexpos.com.

If there are none listed near you, check at your local historical society or your local FHC to see if they know of any in the area. Maybe your family History center will decide to host the first family history workshops in your area. With that said, don't be afraid to get the ball rolling.

Insights into Insight: Webinar FAQs

As the webinar coordinator, I frequently get e-mails from people who are excited to attend one of our webinars, but are unable to make it. If you've ever found yourself in this situation, you're in luck. We record almost all of our webinars & keep them on a special webinar archive page just for this reason. If you can't make your webinar just wait a week and hop over to the archive. These videos usually become available 5-7 days after the live webinar.

Viewing from the archives is a great option for those of you who have a busy schedule. Although you won't have the advantage of being able to ask questions during the webinar, the archives are the next best thing to being there.

If you are signed up for a guest presentation, do you best to make the webinar because it is up to each guest presenter whether or not their class will be archived. In addition, Attending a live webinar gives you the chance to contribute during the webinar. For example, in our "Light a Fire Under Your Ward" webinar, we give all those attending the opportunity to share the things they have done in their own wards. The attendee comments often shed new light on the subjects being discussed.

Each month we cover some of the basics of FamilyInsight and then add other topics on top of that. We also invite guest presenters to share their knowledge on various subjects. You may recognize many of these presenters from various Family History Expo conferences. Also, if you know a presenter for a topic that you think others would enjoy, let us know. You can also contact us if there is a subject you would like to have covered in a future webinar. Just send us an e-mail to webinars@ohanasoftware.com.

The webinars are one way of helping people get together and learn from one another. We all have unique experiences that give us knowledge that may be needed by others. Family History is a wonderful work that benefits greatly from sharing ideas and insights.

Our webinar archive page is linked at the bottom of of the webinars page or you can go to the archive page by clicking here

Success Stories New!

Since the release of FamilyInsight and the beginning of our webinars we have received numerous success stories from our customers. Following the spirit of sharing we are excited to start passing those stories on to you.

This month our success story comes from JaNice Taylor of Aiken, South Carolina who wrote us because of what she had learned at last month's webinar on Record Search:

"I come from families where my great grandparents did a lot of genealogy and temple work. It is easy to think like some of my aunts and uncles who told me, "It has all been done." For the past 44 years most of my family history work ...has been gathering and combining family records, talking to my grandparents' generation while they were living, sorting out misunderstandings in the records, and getting it all into an electronic data format, and trying to light a fire under my family by sharing it.

We have a Danish line that my great grandfather and subsequent family genealogists thought was at a dead end because my 3rd great grandfather Anders Jensen and his wife Kirstine Zacariasdtr moved to Denmark from Norway, and nothing was recorded about where they came from in Norway. We had birth and christening records for six children born to this couple in Denmark,with my 2nd GGfather Jens Andersen being the oldest. To make a long story shorter, I went to the Family History Library in Salt Lake in 2007 ...and with the help of a good sister there we found this family on the 1834 Danish census and the 1845 census which listed their birthplaces. Anders was born in Christiania, Norway and Kirstine was born in Tonsberg, Norway. There was a son Jonas, age 19 on the 1834 census that was a puzzle because according to the family records our Jens, who would have been about 14 then, but wasn't named on it, was the oldest child for this couple. For a couple of years I have had a question about this Jonas -- was he an older son or was the name transcribed wrong from Jens, 14 to Jonas 19. The writing on the original census record was not clear.

Finding anything definitive for Anders Jensen in Christiania, Oslo ...did not seem a likely place to begin, but a search around the locality of Tonsberg, Vestfold, Norway for Kirstine Zacariasdtr yielded a plausible marriage record for a couple with their names. It was an extraction record, and further search yielded an extracted christening record for a Kisti Sachariasdtr that matched the marriage record and had her parents' names on it. So, I had advanced that far, a possible marriage record for a couple with the same names as my ancestors and a possible christening record for the Kirstine in the marriage record. If the marriage record applied to our Anders and Kirstine they were married in 1812. Jens, the first child on our record was born in 1820 in Denmark. It was probable that there were other children born before him.

Just a few days before the webinar I sent a plea to my sisters, cousins, and nieces and nephews who are interested in genealogy to see if they would help me with the research on the question about Jonas. After viewing the webinar on Record Search I put Jonas in the search window and lo and behold I found Jonas! He was born to Anders Jensen and Kirstine Zacariasdtr in Stokke, Vestfold, Norway in Nov 1814. He would have been 19 when the census was taken early in 1834. More searching, using the technique demonstrated on the webinar (not putting in too much information, in fact I think I only put in the parents' names and possibly the location) yielded christening records for two more daughters born to this couple. The exciting thing is that one of them is Marta, born in Aug 1812. There is a Martha Andersdtr, age 23 on the 1834 Danish census, "a married w oman living with them." Martha fits the profile for Marta, as their first child, born in Stokke; she would be 23 in 1834. I felt quite sure after I found Jonas that I had the right family that came from Norway to Denmark, but linking Marta to that married Martha who was not identified as their daughter on the census and finding [their] christening records in Norway was the clincher. I am so excited about that. Further search yielded extracted marriage records for Kirstine's parents and siblings, a sister named on the same christening record as Kirstine, (a twin?), and an extracted christening record for an older brother, also named Jonas.

From time to time I feel a push, like an itch, to work on a family and my experience has been that when I really start looking for someone, opportunities present themselves and doors miraculously open like this. I felt a prompting to update my Ohana software, I see FamilyInsight and that there are webinars, I feel a strong interest, and...this comes of it. Because of the extraction program these people's ordinance work is done, but until now they were not linked to their siblings on any records or our family; we did not know about them, nor did I recognize the clues I had nor have an idea where or how to make use of the clues I had. The webinar opened my eyes to available technology and the technique to use it and pull it all together. Now I believe we have all the children for this couple. We know where Kirstine's family lived a nd have identified and linked her parents and at least some of her siblings. What great progress in a few weeks! Thanks so much!"

{LosCuellar.com.mx 158} Cajasur recrea retazos de la España de la llamada 'monarquía alfonsina'

El Centro Cultural Miguel Castillejo de la Obra Social y Cultural de Cajasur en la capital alberga desde ayer una interesante muestra, que con el título 'Los marqueses de Viana. Nobleza y corte en la monarquía alfonsina', recoge un volumen importante de material, inédito hasta el momento, del Archivo Histórico Viana (que custodia Cajasur).

La exposición presenta más de medio centenar de fotografías inéditas, fechadas entre 1875 y 1953, con imágenes de los marqueses de Viana, los reyes y la Familia Real, aristocracia, corte y servidores, así como un álbum de fotos del Palacio de la Magdalena (Santander) detallando su construcción. Cuadros, libros, gorros y sables militares, muestras de aceites catalanes remitidas por Alfonso XIII al marqués De Viana y ocho paneles didácticos sobre la genealogía de esta familia aristócrata componen el resto de la muestra.

Para Juan José Primo Jurado, comisario de la muestra y director del Archivo Histórico Viana, la exposición tiene un doble significado. Por un lado el sentido histórico, al mostrar una etapa de España relativamente en el tiempo, pero radicalmente distinta, «estamos hablando -señaló el experto- de finales del siglo XIX y hasta 1931, lo que es el periodo de la monarquía alfonsina, con Alfonso XII y Alfonso XIII, con una sociedad distinta, que parece que vivía el el siglo XIX, pero que fue decisiva en el devenir de España»; en este sentido se pueden encontrar fotografías oficiales, pero también muchas de la vida privada. El segundo sentido, según el comisario, es que todo el material que se expone es propiedad de la Obra Social y Cultural de Cajasur, y la inmensa mayoría era inédito, «entonces es una muestra del patrimonio documental e histórico de Cajasur».

El responsable del Archivo Histórico Viana insistió que éste es un patrimonio que, después de nueve años, se va a abrir a final de octubre y entre toda su magnitud, hay rica información sobre pueblos de Jaén como Fuerte del Rey, Villanueva de Arzobispo, Baeza, el propio Jaén «y si hablamos de la familia Viana hay que hablar de Bedmar y Garcíez, donde tenía importantísimas posesiones, y de La Laguna, que en su momento fue una almazara que inauguró Alfonso XIII».

Dentro del material que se exhibe, se puede destacar por ejemplo dos retratos realizados por Joaquín Sorolla, de Alfonso XIII y Victoria Eugenia. Alfonso XIII está muy presente en esta muestra, ya que fue el rey al que sirvió el segundo marqués de Viana, José Saavedra, jefe de palacio y amigo y consejero personal del monarca. Pero luego, teniendo en cuenta que todas las fotografías son inéditas, también son un patrimonio que provoca gran curiosidad; entre todo el gran volumen se presta especial atención a todo lo relacionado con esta familia y la provincia de Jaén.
