Sunday Obituarys - Martha Flanagan

Editor's note: Today's post was written by Sandra Gardner-Benward

........on a very sad note we have lost a very young strong vibrant woman, friend and Root Cellar SGS member

Martha Castano Flanagan
 
November 15, 1955 - September 12, 2013
Oak Hills Church, Folsom, California
Memorial Service
 

                     Martha has been laid to rest at  Melrose Abbey Memorial Park, Anaheim, CA

Several Root Cellar SGS members attended a paceful but emotional memorial service last week for Martha.

Martha was very active with her Family History & with Root Cellar Sacramento Genealogical Society, Folsom Quilt Guild and with her church.

The Folsom Quilt Guild hung more than a dozen of Martha's quilts around the room. She really was a excellent quilter. As you entered the room, the Folsom Quilt Guild welcomed everyone They created a template that was laid on cotton cloth to create many squares for the beginnings of a new quilt for the family. People signed the squares.  Root Cellar SGS members picked one square and all Root Cellar members signed the one square. The squares were collected at the end of the service and will be sewn into a memorial quilt for the family.

Follow Friday - Virtual Conferences! WHAT? NO WAY!

Editor's note: Today's post was written by Sandra Gardner-Benward




Virtual Conferences?  Yes, What a new concept. OR is it? We all have attended conferences that are away from home, with hotel, airlines, food, car rental expenses along with the cost of registration to the conference. Was it worth it? Yes, because that was all there was avaiable at that time, but things are changing. You have already experienced some of it by taking live streaming sessions from home on your own computer. Remember the live streaming sessions that you had an opportunity to watch from the last two RootsTech Conferences and from Southern California Jamboree for a couple of years and from the National Genealogical Society Conferences. ..... So you see  it is already being done in a smaller scale, but still virtual.

Now there are Vitual Conferences......  US National Archives & Record Administration (NARA) has been doing this very thing for a couple of years and it is working. Imagine a government entity thinking outside the box and saving money too. They just completed one on September 3 & 4, 2013. NARA Virtual Fair  They must be doing something right since attendance more than tripled.

Lectures are designed for experienced genealogy professionals and novices alike. Some of the topics included Civil War pensions, immigration,Native American and African American history, U.S. Colored Troops and more.

Read more about  Virtual Conferences at NEXTGOV  , check out the two articles about this particular Virtual Conference at Eastman' s Online Genealogical Newsletter pt 1 & pt 2   , another Virtual Conference available would be Family Tree University,  and check out Lisa Louise Cooks birds eye look at a Virtual Conference

Keep your mind open to new and fun opportunities and from your living room. What a great concept,. Although I can imagine a group of people getting together and view some of the sessions together.......  helping those that are more techie challenged. Making a fun event in itself.

I am going to consider this option next time it comes up. (not too much different from attending a Webinar just on a larger scale and of course it is not free but far less than going to the conference)

Thankful Thursday - GENEALOGY ROADSHOW

Editor's note: Today's post was written by Sandra Gardner-Benward  - PBS Announcement


To all Root Cellar SGS members.... another opportunity for a new genealogy based television series


PBS Announces New Series, GENEALOGY ROADSHOW
 
Mondays starting September 23 - October 14, 2013
 
"Mark Your Calendar  & Pre-Program Your Recorder"
 
How exciting that we will have another Genealogy Based Show available. AND how timely, "Who Do You Think You Are?" just ended its series for this season and now another show begins. [NOTE: The US version of Who Do You Think You Are? has been renewed for a second season by TLC. The new season is due to air in 2014, although the celebrities taking part have yet to be confirmed. The first season averaged 1.8 million viewers]   Fantastic!!
 
GENEALOGY ROADSHOW is part detective story and part emotional journey. It will combine history and science to uncover the fascinating stories of Americans. It is going to be unique because each individuals past will link to a larger community history. So it will be showing a bigger picture of our nations past and maybe a little of the present and some future.
 
GENEALOGY ROADSHOW’s premiere season will feature participants from four American cities — Nashville, Austin, Detroit and San Francisco — who want to explore genealogical claims, passed down through family history, that may (or may not) connect them to an event or a historical figure.The program will feature genealogical authors, lecturers and researchers Joshua Taylor and Kenyatta Berry as the show’s on-air experts. Los Angeles-area broadcaster Emmett Miller has been named as the host of the series. As you can tell by the dates of this premiere series, the first season of this program will only be four episodes, each from a different city (Nashville, Austin, Detroit and San Francisco).  

Episodes in the series include: (NOTE: this was taken straight from the PBS.org website)
NASHVILLE
Nashville is a vibrant cultural crossroad in the American South. While it is the capital of country music and a centerpiece of Civil War history, it’s known for much more. The city rose to prominence within the shipping industry, and its post-Civil War prosperity led to an explosion in architecture, education and the arts. Its abundant opportunities led to population swells of Mexican, Cambodian and Iraqi immigrants. Nashville’s Jewish community laid roots in the area more than 150 years ago, and an influx of Kurdish immigrants in recent years has given the city its new nickname, “Little Kurdistan.”

AUSTIN
With the motto “Keep Austin Weird,” this city prides itself on uniqueness. The fast- growing metropolis has evolved into a hub for government, technology, culture and education. Austin boasts a strong sense of individuality that stems in part from its diverse history. With early Native-American settlements of Tonkawas and Comanches, central Texas’ rich culture includes Mexican, Asian, African-American and European communities.

DETROIT
While Detroit is known mainly for two things — cars and Motown — there is much more to the city, which boasts one of the most diverse populations in the country. After its settlement by French-Canadians, Detroit attracted a large number of Europeans and immigrants of Middle Eastern descent, making it now home to the largest Arab-American community in the country. As well, hundreds of thousands of African-Americans moved to Detroit from the rural southern U.S. as part of The Great Migration of the 20th century. Detroit was the first place in the country to have a stretch of concrete highway and a four-way, three-color traffic light. It supplied 75 percent of the liquor during the Prohibition era and was the birthplace of the ice cream soda.
SAN FRANCISCO
San Francisco is known as a Pacific port, a religious mission, a railroad hub, a mining mecca, an earthquake epicenter, the birthplace of world-famous counterculture movements and the home of the biggest technological innovations of all time, including denim jeans. The city has seen its population transformed over and over again due to its constantly shifting industries, leading to the significant diversity that exists there today.


I am excited and am anxcious for September 23 to come around (5 days). Apparently a version of this show is very popular in Ireland and is now in their second season. So there is hope that we will be seeing more than 4 episodes.

Monday Madness - Tweets are ALL Indexed! WHAT?

Editor's note: Today's post was written by Sandra Gardner-Benward


I first read about Topsy.com on Dick Eastman's Blog  ....... It is another search engine but specialized -  I can hardly believe that there is a website that has indexed every Twitter message since the first tweet we posted in 2006.  The website says this is about 425 billion pieces of information which includes photos. The count also includes pages that were linked from Twitter. YIKES!!! they have indexed all these messages.......... I can barely tweet UNBELIEVABLE!!

Do you know that you can search through past tweets looking for genealogy or other information? Topsy can do that for you now. Best of all, Topsy is free.


Topsy, like some other search engines,  provides a search box to enter the words or phrases you are searching for. Topsy  then displays what it thinks are the most relevant results.


I searched on our own hashtag (#rootcellarsgs ) YES we are on Twitter.......  and I found 3 tweets
Root Cellar SGS @rootcellarsgs
 
 
Root Cellar SGS @rootcellarsgs
had a great time #rootstech 2013 excellent sessions #genealogy #rootcellarsgs
 
 
I can see that Root Cellar SGS has alot of followers but not alot of tweeting going on. If you Tweet it would be great if you would Tweet about Root Cellar SGS also............. get the word out!

Wordless Wednesday - Will the Real M.E. GREENE Please Come Forward !

Editor's note: Today's post was posted by Sandra Gardner-Benward AND submitted by Carolee R. Jones Root Cellar Sacramento Genealogical Society member - Find A Grave headstone photo- permission given to use it for the Root Cellar blog



Mary E. Terrill GREENE OR Mollie E GREENE

 


After a seven year search I finally found the death date for my paternal great-grandmother, Mollie E. GREENE.  The brick wall tumbled down at 11 p.m. on July 15, 2013! 
 
Mary E. Terrill GREENE was born on June 26, 1844 in Missouri.  In the late 1870’s or early 1880’s she and her husband moved from Howard County, Missouri to Texas.  Her middle name is probably Ellen.  The birth certificate for her youngest child, Mattie Rosa GREENE, has the mother’s name as Mary Ellen Terrill. 
 
In 1882 Mattie Rosa was born in Walnut Springs, Bosque County, Texas. 
 
The 1900 United States Federal Census lists Molly E. GREEN with her husband, Joe H. GREEN a.k.a. J. H. GREEN or Joel H. GREENE, residing with their son, Chactaw Lee GREEN a.k.a.    C. L. GREEN.  
 
In 1904 and 1905 two of their twelve children married in Bosque County, Texas.  My grandfather, Frank H. GREEN, was one of the two children.  He married Annie Ruth WALES on January 2, 1905. 
 
The 1910 United States Federal Census lists Mollie E. as head of the household in Bosque County. Based on the 1910 Census I began looking at every cemetery in Bosque County. 
 
Using Find A Grave I found her headstone in the Oak Grove Cemetery, Walnut Springs, Bosque County, Texas.  I searched by entering her surname for each cemetery and looking for any GREEN or GREENE.  Her headstone shows her as M. E. GREENE wife of J. H. GREENE with death date, Apr. 16. 1912. I have contacted the Office of Bosque County Clerk and received a reply saying there is no death certificate for my great-grandmother.  So the search begins in other Texas counties to find her death certificate.


 And so the story continues, always searching. ...... sound familar? Any clues for Carolee R. Jones

Monday Mystery - GREENE or BREENE

Editor's note: Today's post was posted by Sandra Gardner-Benward AND submitted by Carolee Jones


 
Are you looking for the death date and death certificate for a Mary E. BREENE? 
 

Several months ago I was searching the Texas Department of State Health Services Vital Statistics Index.  Listed was a M. E. GREENE with an April 10, 1929 death date.  There was a partial registration number shown as well as the county, Tarrant.  Thinking this was an excellent possibility for the information I was seeking on my paternal great-grandmother I ordered the death certificate at a cost of $25.00. 

The death certificate arrived and it was for a Mary E. BREENE not GREENE!  The index was in error for the last name since it was indexed for the GREEN and GREENE’s.  In addition, my Mary E. GREENE was not born in Bloomfield, Connecticut nor was her maiden name, MOODY. 

I am happy to share this unneeded death certificate with Mary E. BREENE’s family.  Just contact me through Root Cellar Sacramento Genealogical Society.  If you know the family of Mary E. BREENE please contact them so they can get in contact with Carolee.  


I don't imagine that this has happened to anyone else before!!

Wordless Wednesday - Murray's of Prince Edward Island ?????

Editor's note: Today's post was written by Sandra Gardner-Benward


Lois Shumaker, Root Cellar Sacramento Genealogical Society member, has a picture in her family albums that she cannot identify (imagine that! I don't know of anyone that has that problem)

While at the Allen County Public Library, the Genealogical Center....... I looked through a wonderful book that Lois had asked about. "Uniforms of the Prince Edward Island Militia, 1794-1873" What a wonderful book with all types of pictures of uniforms from Prince Edward Island. There were some small things that were on this uniform and in the book but not enough to say THIS IS IT.  
 
So Lois asks, "Who is this spiffy couple that are all duded up for their photo! I don't know who they are (probably Murrays in PEI), and who knows -- the guy may be the mailman in his uniform!"

So I hope that people will look over this photo for ANY clues of year, and the uniform. HELP!
If you have any information or the next step in this research please contact Lois  Thank You.

In the United States, Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is a creation of the labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of their country.
