Family History Expo Brings Past to Life

Aug. 27-28, 2010

SALT LAKE CITY, UT— The 2010 Salt Lake Family History Expo, Aug. 27-28, will help bring the past to life with educational workshops, speakers, and exhibitors committed to teaching the art of family history research.

Nationally celebrated author, lecturer and researcher Thomas Jay Kemp will open the event at a free opening ceremony Aug. 27 at 8 a.m. at the event venue, South Towne Exposition Center, 9575 S. State Street in Sandy.

The American Library Association recently honored Kemp, the keynote speaker, with its lifetime achievement award known as the RUSA/GPC Award. Kemp was reportedly selected for his long-time leadership role in genealogy librarianship and his significant contributions to genealogy publications. He is well-known as one of genealogy’s primary librarians and authors. Many of his sources are classics known to librarians of all types.

“Families and historical preservation are such important elements in the Utah culture. Our Expos help people find themselves by finding their own family roots,” FHExpos President and Founder Holly T. Hansen said.

FHExpos is a Croydon, Utah-based company with nearly 10 years experience educating family historians and genealogists of all levels through family history expositions throughout the Western United States.

” I absolutely love to watch the lights turn on when a participant makes a life-changing discovery. That’s what it’s all about,” Hansen said.

Presenters are hand selected for their expertise in various areas of research, family history, and genealogy. Sessions are suitable for participants at all levels of genealogy experience.

An exhibit hall featuring hands-on demonstrations is free and opened to the public.  Door prizes, samples, and give-away samples will be plentiful. A host of bloggers will be at the show sharing their knowledge with a major following via Facebook, Twitter, professional blogs, and other social networking sites.

The exhibit hall is free to the public, and registration for two full days of classes is available for only $65 in advance or $75 at the door. One day registration is $40. Registration and a full schedule is available on the company’s website at www.fhexpos.com. If you only have time of one or two classes register at the door for only $12 each class.

Industry Experts Lead the Way to Family History Research

Hansen said the most experienced professionals are invited to teach at FHExpos events. “We want to provide our participants with the latest and greatest tools and information out there. We’re not afraid of new technology and neither should our followers be afraid. We’re here to embrace the future of history,” she said.

Class titles will include, “Crossing the Ocean with the Internet,” FamilySearch 2010 and Beyond,” “Finding Your Female Ancestors,” “Genealogy Gifts and Games,” “Journey Takers: An Inside Look at Immigration Research,” “Finding Your Scottish Ancestors: What Do You Need to Do,” and more.

The event is sponsored by genealogy and family history giants including FamilySearch, Ancestry.com, RootsMagic, Legacy Family Tree, Family Insight, Generation Maps, Limited Edition Publishers, Ancestral Quest, and Flip Pal Mobile Scanners.

Register online at www.fhexpos.com, or by calling 801-829-3295.

Family History Expos, Inc. is a Utah-based company headquartered in Croydon, Utah. FHE has been holding successful Expos throughout the Western United States for seven years, teaching thousands to learn the art of and experience the spirit of family history research.

Acclaimed author of The Journey Takers, Leslie Albrecht Huber, will be speaking at the Salt Lake City Family History Expo in Sandy on August 27th! Come and listen to the story that started it all. Afterwards, Leslie will be signing copies of her book in our exhibit hall.

President and Founder of Family History Expos, Holly Hansen, says “Leslie Albrecht Huber has the ability to pull us back in history, allowing us to view it through her eyes. She is able to capture the essence of life as it may have been. The reader will find it impossible to lay the book aside as Huber shares her experience in a way that envelops, inspires, and motivates.”

This is an opportunity not to be missed. Space is still available for the Expo – see our website at http://fhexpos.com to register!

School records can provide a glimpse into our ancestor’s younger days.  There are many different kinds of records out there and your ability to access them depends on your ancestor’s locality and what has been made available to researchers. To learn more about what types of records might be available, consult The Source’s chapter on Business, Institution and Organization Records. You can read The Source through the Ancestry Wiki.

When searching the Family History Library Catalog, conduct a place search for where your ancestor lived and then click on the link “Schools”.  This will show you a list of what school records are available through the Family History Library and possibly through microfilm loan at your local Family History Center. In looking through school records for California, there is everything from school-land warrants to Bureau of Indian Affairs school records to superintendent reports.

You may also want to look at the state archive or library for the state you are researching.  Some school documentation may have been archived at these institutions. To find a state archive click here.  Some state archives might even have online indexes to their records.  An example of this is the Colorado State Archives.

Googling the state you are researching plus the words “school records” may also help you find information on various websites.  In Googling Nebraska School Records I was lead to the website I Dream of Genealogy which has records for a few counties in Nebraska, including school censuses, superintendents reports, pupil lists and histories.

Don’t forget to check genealogy subscription sites and free sites like the US Genweb and Cyndi’s List for even more resources to researching school records.

See you at the Expo!

Probably due to the mistaken notion that they are of a more recent origin, yearbooks are often the neglected wallflower of the genealogy world. Nothing could be further from the truth. According to yearbook publisher, Lifetouch Publishing, yearbooks have been around since the 1600s when students acquired books filled with school memorabilia and hand written notes. The first use of the term “yearbook” was in the 1700s. By 1880, yearbooks, often called “senior books” or “annuals” were books produced by a senior class that sometimes included pictures or blank pages for you to paste in the pictures of your friends. Yearbooks have changed through the years and have reflected what was going on in the world at the time of their publication.


Yearbooks hold a treasure of genealogical information, for example they provide the maiden name of women; they allow you to verify that an ancestor was in a particular place in time; and they can confirm the names of other family members (cousins, siblings that attended the same school), friends, or acquaintances. It’s important to look for yearbooks not just for your student ancestor but also the ancestor who worked as a teacher, coach, or administrator at a school. Depending on what the owner wrote in their yearbook, other genealogical information may be found. One writer of yearbook history notes that a yearbook in her collection, a 1930 Everett, Washington High Yearbook, included where the previous owner had written information next to photos that included the married names of women and names of spouses.

When looking for yearbooks, remember that yearbooks did not always look the way they did when you graduated from high school. Yearbooks might be available for junior high or middle schools, high schools, college and universities, military groups, fraternities and sororities. Alumni directories, more common during the 1800′s through the 1910′s, include lists of students and biographical information. Art and literary magazines, popular during the early 1900′s, were magazines filled with articles written by students. These works may have been published on a monthly, quarterly, or yearly basis. Picture yearbooks became popular when the ability to reproduce pictures inexpensively made these types of books feasible. These include individual student and class pictures, writings and remembrances, and have been popular since about 1940.

Where can you look for yearbooks with pictures of your family member? First, try the school’s library, see if they have kept their yearbooks over the years. A nearby public library might have yearbooks as part of their local history collection. Try looking for yearbooks owned by historical societies, genealogy societies, or as part of a genealogy website. The website San Francisco Genealogy has a list of volunteers who will look up information in San Francisco yearbooks for you. I Dream of Genealogy also has indexes of yearbooks. You can select a state and then a school and see a transcribed list of names found in that yearbook. Old-Yearbooks.com is a free site that has digitized yearbooks and other school ephemera.

Subscription genealogy websites such as Ancestry and WorldVitalRecords both have yearbook collections. Recently WorldVitalRecords, in partnership with E-Yearbook added 8,000 yearbooks to their collection.  This collection includes school yearbooks as well as military yearbooks. E-Yearbook is a subscription site that allows you access to millions of pictures from middle school, high school, college and military yearbooks. Genealogy Today’s Family Tree Connection subscription database includes yearbooks and other school records. You can search the database by last name or by resource. Over 3.5 million names are a part of this database and new resources are constantly being added.

The Family History Library has a limited collection of school yearbooks, approximately 75. A keyword search of the term “yearbook” brings over 800 hits in the Family History Library catalog. These yearbooks include a wide range of sources including membership organization records and church directories.
Although yearbooks are limited in how much they can tell about an ancestor, a persistent genealogist who looks for yearbooks will be rewarded with information about their ancestor’s student days and a picture to add to their collection.

Feature Article

Walking in Your Early American Ancestor’s Footsteps:  Social History Websites

By Gena Philibert Ortega

It’s so easy to get caught up in the collecting of names and dates in genealogy that we forget that our ancestors were flesh and blood people who had similar triumphs, tragedies and trials as we do today.  An important aspect of the genealogical research process is learning more about our ancestor thus making them interesting to future generations.

So how do you bring someone “to life” that has been dead a few hundred years?  You add information about how their day to day life was.  This can be done by reviewing books and websites on social history.  Some of the following ideas can be used for an early American ancestor as well as an ancestor living in a completely different place and time.

Cooking

I’m always interested in what my ancestors ate.  Even looking back one generation in my family, what we eat as a family today is quite different than what my mother ate as a child or even what I ate as a child.  Food differs from place and time based on a number of factors including availability, cost, and whether it is something that is in “vogue” at the time.

Wondering what your Revolutionary War era ancestors ate?  The website Feeding America has a number of early American cookbooks.  While it does not have one from the 1770s it does have one from 1798, American Cookery, or the art of dressing viands, fish, poultry, and vegetables, and the best modes of making pastes, puffs, pies, tarts, puddings, custards, and preserves, and all kinds of cakes, from the imperial plum to plain cake: Adapted to this country, and all grades of life by Amelia Simmons.  Simmons takes care to teach her reader what meat is best for eating and how to choose the best meat.  Of the peacock she says, “tho’ beautifully plumaged, is tough, hard, stringy and untasted, and even indelicious.”(pg. 7)

Personal Experiences

Although your ancestor may not have written an account of their life or kept a journal, you can by reading about the lives of others, learn about what it was like to be alive during that historical time and even learn about what it must have been like to experience certain events.

Personal narrative exist in various books and websites but some examples of women’s experiences include Sarah Osborn Recollects her Experiences in the Revolutionary War, 1837 and Margaret Morris’ Revolutionary War Experience 1776-1777.

Weaponry

When my kids were visiting with members of a Sons of the American Revolution group, they were able to handle the men’s period replica weapons.  These replicas are used when they conduct reenactments.  It was amazing to see how the heavy the weapons were, how difficult they were to fire, and their size.  It gave my boys an appreciation of what it must have been like to be a Revolutionary War soldier.

Want to learn more about the weapons your Revolutionary War soldier may have used?  These websites have the information that might just help you.  Revolutionary War Antiques and Guilford Courthouse National Military Park.

Primary Documents

The list goes on and on regarding what you can learn about your early American ancestor’s life. Some websites that may be of use to you as you search for information about that era include:

Archiving Early America

History Central: Revolutionary War

Library of Congress, American Memory

GenTeacher for Kids

Tell Me About the Revolutionary War

By Gena Philibert Ortega

When we think of teaching kids about a topic, we often head straight to the library as a first step.  But  kids learn better by doing or by participating in an activity.  When teaching about a Revolutionary War ancestor, why not check out a local re-enactor group.  These groups provide audiences a feel for what it was like to live in a certain time period.  They do their historical research and often sport historically accurate costumes and weapons.  At the Mesa Family History Expo, my kids talked at length with a local Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) group and were able to ask questions about the military costumes they wore and even were able to handle the long rifles the men used for reenactments.

Some websites that have links to Revolutionary War re-enactor groups are

• Revwar Links
• Re-Enactor Links
• Reenactor.net

Don’t forget about local SAR or Daughters of the American Revolution groups. A local living history museum might also provide a glimpse into live in the past.

Tech Tip

Back Up Your Data!

Backing up the files we have on our computer is almost like going to the dentist.  It’s something you know you should do but you put it off until something happens.  There are so many way you can choose to back up your data, from portable flash drives and hard drives to online offerings like Mozy.

Two good rules to keep in mind with backing up data is to do it often and backup in more than one place.  For me, that means that I have my files on a portable hard drive as well as on a flash drive.  My photos and gedcom files I send to family members like my brother.  That way if something were to happen to my originals or me, someone else has access to it.

Portable Scanning

It seems that whenever I go to a library, especially when I’ve found lots of great information in books, that the copy machine is always broken.  Now, there are several ways you can prepare for this.  You can take your digital camera with you to take pictures of pages that you can at home download and view on your computer.  You can also purchase a portable scanner that will allow you to scan pages of a document.  One that I purchased recently was the VuPoint Magic Wand Scanner.  This hand held device can scan photos and text.  It saves the scan to a microSD card which you can then download to your computer.  This resolution is surprisingly good and it makes for a great backup whether you are at a library or a new found cousins house.  Whatever you choose to use, a camera or a portable scanning device, consider adding one to your research bag.

While many genealogists are familiar with the genealogical holdings of institutions like the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah or the Allen County Public Library, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, fewer may be aware of the rich resources available through The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Library.  While originally founded in 1896 to be used as a resource by staff to verify genealogies submitted by potential members, since 1900 the Library has been open to the general public wanting to learn more about their Revolutionary ancestor in America.

While a researcher would need to travel to Washington D.C. to benefit from all that the library has to offer, some of their information is now available online through their website.

Through their Online Research section you can utilize The DAR Genealogical Research System. According to the Website this System, “is a combination of several databases created in recent years to organize the large quantity of information that the DAR has collected since its inception in 1890.”

Information included in this database is of Revolutionary Patriots whose “service and identity have been established by NSDAR.”  So this will not be a complete list of patriots but it is a good starting point for your research.  After conducting a search on a patriot’s name you may find such information as the patriot’s date of birth, “name of spouse/s, residence during the revolution, rank and type of service, and the state where the patriot served.” You will also see the DAR membership numbers of women who have joined DAR using information from that patriot. You may also see an indication that supporting documents or a descendent list is available.

If you are having difficulty using or understanding the database, don’t hesitate to check out the help section.  This provides detailed answers about the database and what information it provides.

Come join us as we learn family history from expert speakers, try new genealogical tools from vendors and network with other family historians at the Midwest Family History Expo happening July 30-31 in Kansas City, Missouri at the KCI Expo Center.  111 presentations given by experts in the field of genealogy will help you break down your brickwalls and start finding your ancestors.  Don’t forget our vendor hall with over 20 genealogically related businesses that will help you organize, save time and have fun doing your family history research.
