Tuesday Tips - "Share the Wealth" - Building a Resource Center
Editor's note: Today's post was written by Sandra Gardner-Benward
What is Share the Wealth? Several years ago Root Cellar SGS started a new program on our website that was suggested by one of our members - Lynne Roberts. She took the lead, asked for help and input, the project began and took on a life of its own. Thank You Lynne!
Lynne began with one state and tried to find out useful research resources. Yes, it was a simple collection of URL's but all in one place for the use of all its members. One by one the states became alive with lots of interest from our members. She completed the 50 states and went on to do the same thing for many countries around the world.
Unfortunately when we changed servers we lost the files. I believe we could recreate it again, but you would actually have to go back to the beginning and make sure all the links still work. You know technology, it does not stand still, it keeps moving forward whether we want it to or not. But what a waste of research information!!
But maybe this will help to stimulate organizations in other states & cities (i.e.Ohio, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York) to put up a similar areas on their websites - a complete set (or as complete as possible) of research resources in their local area. We can certainly locate resources for the State and major cities easy enough but those smaller towns, villages and rural areas? ...... what a great resource to others!
Now all that being said......... we are starting to build up our research resources on our new website. Click on LINKS - there is a nice search feature. You can narrow your search down to one subject or look at the entire database. Visit us and see what we have so far...... then you need to come back over and over because this is an ongoing project, always adding new URL's. If you have a special interest that is not included drop us a note.

Join Root
Cellar Sacramento Genealogical Society

summer workshops
- Wed June 18- 2- 3pm

- Wed August 20 1-3pm
......each month you will have the advantage of asking questions and getting answers from our expert resident on DNA - Jim Rader.
NOTE: If you can make the time please watch the two following FREE
webinars before the meeting
1. Bennett Greenspan The Future of Genetic Genealogy
Once upon a time, the idea of using DNA to solve genealogical mysteries seemed
like science fiction. Now many genetic genealogists have become citizen
scientists. Y-DNA and mtDNA have moved on to the next generation, and autosomal
and X-DNA have become powerful tools in many genealogists' tool kits.
What does
the future of genetic genealogy hold?
What about Y-DNA? What is the advantage? What is the
process?
1. Do your research to
your great great grand parents
2. Do reverse genealogy
and find all living descendants of your 16 great great grandparents
3. See if FamilyTreeDNA
has a surname study for each of your surnames, if they don’t, start one. If they do, join it.
a. Select 3 (or more) male descendants who have the surname you are studying and get them 37 marker Y-DNA tested - that will give the Y DNA of 8 of your surnames. (and of course you can always join more than one surname - after all we all have more than one surname you are researching)
4. STR Y-DNA 67 or 111
or Big Y will be there to help you split the surname groups apart if you have a
problem. (and if you need this sentence translated, come and ask)
How to get your sources documented and then do
reverse genealogy all in one process.
1. Join Ancestry.com (monthly membership $19.99, 6
months $99) or purchase FamilyTreeMaker with subscription included.
2. Purchase FamilyTreeMaker
Essentials 2014 $39.99 1-Month subscription to Ancestry.com included
Deluxe 2014 $53.55 3-Month
subscription to Ancestry.com Included
Platinum 2013 $99.99 6-Month subscription to Ancestry.com Included
3. Create a Gedcom with your Data from your program and import it into FamilyTreeMaker. Easy process.
4 follow all of the hints until the sources are added, using proper form, and also add the image of the source to your fileP.S. I really can't recommend this series enough....... come, take advantage of the information, of Jim's experience, interact with others, educate yourself and learn how to use this new tool - DNA - with the rest of your paper trail of your research. DNA research only works with your regular research - they work hand in hand. See you in July
