These resources go beyond the library edition of ancestry.com, yet they are often overlooked by those whose only focus on ancestry.com. Typically, these databases are open to anyone who comes to a branch of the regional library system. If you happen to be a resident of the regional library service area, your own library card may also give you access to the resource from your computer at home. Both Seattle Public and Tacoma Public libraries subscribe to Biography and Genealogy Master Index. This is a database of r efer ences to biogr aphical sketches that appear in other publications. It is a quick way to find a volume of a “Who’s Who” kind of directory without having to search through many years to get the sketch of someone in your tree. The next step then is to go directly to the designated volume to get your biographical information. This one index covers the biographical entries in more than 1000 volumes and editions of important current and retrospective biographical reference sources. With one search you cover more than 15 million biographies on nearly 5 million people (living and deceased) from all fields of endeavor. A related tool that is available at Seattle Public libraries, King County Libraries, Sno-Isle, Tacoma and Timberland libraries is Biography in Context. This database covers stories that appeared in periodicals and multimedia about many influential people in many periods of history. It is an easy way to find stories about relevant events and the people involved in those events. A search for Elisha P Ferry returned one “reference” and clicking on that linked me to an extended biographical sketch including parents and family of Ferry, along with a summary of his career. The Gale Virtual Reference Library is offered by several of the regional library systems in Western Washington. This offers a series of digitized books on a wide variety of topics. It is not uniquely a genealogical resource, but it is a very useful place for background information from history, travel, and the arts. There are many sketches in encyclopedia format that tell about specific persons and specific communities in which your family may have lived in the past. Fiske Genealogical Foundation Newsletter Page 2 REFERENCE SOURCES AT YOUR REGIONAL LIBRARY Continued from page1 A searchable database for the New York Times Historical (1851-2009) is a gr eat resour ce for finding news items and obituary notices for persons in the greater New York City area. Seattle Public Library also offers a database of The Seattle Times from 1900 to the present. Searches in these newspapers are easy to do and the clarity of the images leads to very good copies. Heritage Quest Online is now offer ed in a new for mat by the Seattle Public Libr ary. This database is now a subsidiary of ancestry.com and offers useful resources for the genealogist. It gives you access to the US Census records from 1790 to 1940, the slave schedules of 1850 and 1860, mortality schedules from 1850 to 1885, and US Indian Census rolls from 1885 through 1940. They also provide clear images of Census Tracts for every state – taken from the 1987 Map Guide to the US Federal Census by Thorndale and Dollarhide. They still offer the more than 28,000 digitized books of family and local history, the Revolutionary War pension and bounty land warrant files, and the records of the Freedman’s Bank for the 1865-1874 period after the Civil War. Tacoma Public and Timberland libraries also subscribe to this service, but it is no longer available at King County libraries. King County Library System does offer access to 19th Century Newspapers, a database with excellent images from a large number of newspapers across the country. However, consecutive issues may be very short in some areas or extensive in others. The Boston Courier is offered in full-text coverage from 30 March 1826 to 08 January 1898, the Boston Daily Advertiser is fully covered from 1855 to 1899, and the Boston Investigator runs from 23 April 1831 through 30 March 1895. King County libraries and the Timberland libraries also have access to the Newspaper Archive in the “academic library edition” which has selected issues from newspapers across the United States and Canada. Sno-Isle Regional Library also subscribes to America’s Obituaries and Death Notices (National) and World Vital Records. CONGRATULATIONS TO NEHGS The New England Historic Genealogical Society is rapidly closing in on its 170th anniversary. Its premier publication, The Register, was first published in January, 1847. As the society moves toward this milestone, it has changed the layout of its journal and has expanded its editorial focus. It will now offer content with national and international topics while still retaining the former emphasis on New England, New York State and out migrations from New England. The Fiske Library is proud to hold a complete run of The Register from 1847 to the present. Come take a look! Page 3 Volume 22 Number 3 Support Your Library Contributed by Carolyn Blount Volunteer Organization The Fiske Genealogy Library is a non-profit organization run exclusively by volunteers. We enjoy family history research, solving mysteries, helping others and preserving the past. Gary Zimmerman, President of the Fiske Genealogical Foundation, volunteers nearly half time at the Fiske. Others volunteer their time regularly for one or two half days each week or commit to one day a week, or a day a month to assist researchers. Expansion of the Fiske Library We have more than doubled the size of the collection since the death of Arthur Fiske nearly 20 years ago. Currently our income is approximately $3,000 short of meeting our annual expenses The Library operates on a very limited budget, yet we have entered over 11,000 titles into World Cat, which is an ongoing process. The Fiske is becoming one of the better known genealogical libraries in the United States, but as more researchers utilize online resources, including the Fiske, fewer researchers visit the Library. How You Can Help Financially support the Fiske Library by donation on an ongoing, annual basis (tax deductible) Volunteer your time Take on a project of interest at the library Financially support the donation of your collection to the library Offer storage area for Collections received prior to cataloging Appreciation We appreciate your patronage and welcome additional suggestions for sustaining the library. Thank you for your tax deductible financial support as well as purchase of books for library use and donation of collections. BOOK REVIEW—Genealogy and the Law: A Guide to Legal Sources for the Family Historian by Kay Haviland Freilich & William B. Freilich Contributed by Karen V. Sipe The subjects of law and legalese can be overwhelming. This book is designed to give you an understanding of legal sources and how to access them. Starting with an overview of law and providing ways to understand and find definitions to legal terms past and present, chapters 3 and 4 explain the types of law in a way that is concise and easy to understand. With your newfound understanding of law, the authors introduce a variety of legal reference sources valuable to every genealogist. Since you want to use these sources, the next chapter takes you through a number of ways to access them. Law libraries and online services are explained and described in chapter 6. Sourcing legal books or cases is a bit different from standard book citations. To be sure you get it right, there is a whole chapter devoted to citing your sources. Just in case you are not sure why you should take an interest in all this law stuff, or if you are not quite sure how to apply this wealth of information to you genealogical pursuits, this too is explained. Each chapter has a set of good questions. These questions and exercises are designed to teach, organize, and prepare you for your own foray into the world of law as it pertains to your research interests. Some of the exercises gave me the feeling that I needed more information to complete them. If this happens, I recommend you read further chapters and come back to the questions that puzzle you. As an advocate for encouraging genealogists to use their local law libraries, I find this to be perfectly matched to the needs of genealogists and non-legal researchers. Fiske Genealogical Foundation Newsletter Page 4 Fold3.com WWII Cadet Nursing Corps Card Files Contributed by Cindy Walton In honor of Women’s History Month in March, Fold3 added a new collection that contains membership cards of women who joined the corps. In 1943 the Cadet Nursing Corps was created under the auspices of the U.S. Public Health Service. The corps filled an expanding demand for nurses that had been exacerbated by WWII. The program was administered between 1943 and 1948. Approximately 179,000 students aged 17 to 35 joined the corps and about 124,000 graduated. The funding for the program came from the federal government and the majority of nursing schools participated. A 36-month program was shortened to 30 months with hands-on health care experience in either a hospital or a health agency for the last six months of the program. Cadets received free tuition and fees, free uniforms, and a monthly stipend for their commitment after graduation to serve in civilian or military healthcare positions for the duration of the war. Do you have a relative who served in the Cadet Nursing Corps? If so, look for her in the WWII Cadet Nursing Corps Card Files at http://www.fold3.com/title_925/wwii_cadet_nursing_corps_card_files/. NOTE: This member ship can be pur chased separ ately OR it is INCLUDED if you pur chase a Wor ld Explorer Plus membership at ancestry.com I took the opportunity to check the database for my husband’s “Aunt Ginny”. This is what I found: Page 5 Volume 22 Number 3 One of the Very Best Blogs for a Genealogist Contributed by Karen V. Sipe A couple of weeks ago while teaching a class at Fiske, I discovered a very sad thing. No one in class had heard of Judy Russell or her blog. Here is a review for everyone and I hope you search out Judy’s blog and enjoy it as much as I do. Getting to know Judy She is better known these days as “The Legal Genealogist”. Judy has a law degree from Rutgers School of Law-Newark and has worked as a federal prosecutor, law editor, and has been an adjunct member of the faculty at Rutgers Law School. Coupling her law background with her strong genealogical background, (CG, CGL) she shares a wealth of knowledge genealogists just couldn’t get elsewhere. There is a good biography on her home page for further reading. Let me brag for her She has been named in the, American Bar A ssociation Journal’s “Blawg 100” two years in a row. The top 100 has a Niche category and she has been the popular vote winner: http://www.abajournal.com/blawg100. In January she received the Silver Tray Award from the Utah Genealogical Association, and most recently made the top 100 Most Popular Genealogy site 2015 coming in 86 but ranking 2 nd in the blog category. Seattle was blessed a year or so ago when Seattle Genealogical Society had her as their seminar speaker. She uses her background in Law to provide information and answers to questions about all things legal found in the documents we spend so much time searching for. Archaic language, phrases and laws have provided many wonderful topics. Her writings are in English not legalese. If you have an interest in DNA, this is a great blog to follow. Her love for DNA testing provides good examples and information for the genetic genealogist. She has fun with her blog, which makes it an easy and informative read. You can find Judy at: http://legalgenealogist.com/ Judy Russell Printed With Permission Page 6 Fiske Genealogical Foundation Newsletter Fiske Genealogical Foundation Spring 2015 Classes All classes are scheduled from 10:00 a.m. until noon. 2015 TOPIC INSTRUCTOR L O C AT I O N Wednesday April 8 Quaker Records Gary Zimmerman Pioneer Hall 1642 43rd Ave. E.
