PRESIDENTÕS
MESSAGE
~Bill
Bluett
This past Christmas, I received a collection of gifts
that completely caught me off guard. Usually, IÕm given the more traditional
shirts, pants, sweaters or whatever. I have a difficult time each year just
coming up with some kind of wish list to guide my family. Most years I canÕt
even come up with a list. So, several of the items I received turned out to be
a complete surprise to me. These gifts were an interesting collection of
antique and memorabilia items. What surprised me about three of the items is
that my wife, Helen, found them on EBay. Up until now, she has never shopped EBay!
First there is a black photo case that dates back to the Civil War. These were used to carry a picture
of a loved one or spouse. The case is made from a hard and durable material
called GUTTA PERCHA that protected the photo from breakage. Some type of image
or design is usually embossed on the outer portion. It is about 2 ½Ó by
3Ó and can easily be carried in a pocket, purse, etc. Early photos were
Daguerreotypes and Ambrotypes (from the 1840Õs to 1860Õs). They were photo
images on glass that needed protection in a durable case. Later, Tintypes came
along and were not as fragile as the glass photos. Getting back to EBay, my
wife found a photo case she liked and made a bid. She tracked the bidding,
since others bid on the same item, and eventually won the bid. The reason she
purchased the case is because I have two great grandfathers who fought in the
Civil War. I have always wanted one of these cases in which to put their
pictures. This case holds only one photo. So, perhaps I will receive another
one sometime in the future.
The next two items purchased on EBay were Mobilgas memorabilia items.
IÕve been thinking about putting together a shadow box of my grandparents,
Ralph and Mollie Bluett. During World War II, they operated a Mobilgas station
in Los Angeles. I have photos taken at the service station with my grandparents
and Aunt Dorothy in their uniforms. Over the past several years, I have
collected a few items that I could use in the shadow box, along with the
photographs. The first item Helen purchased was a 1940Õs Mobilgas map of the Los Angeles area. The second item a miniature Mobilgas
tanker truck, which is also from the
1940Õs era. Now, I think IÕm ready to for that shadow box
The last gift I received was from my daughter, Heather. She purchased
an antique Stereo Viewer (or
Stereoscope) at an antique store in San Juan Capistrano. It is approximately
100 years old and is in good condition. Also, I received eight stereo cards for
viewing. When I was a kid, I remember going to my great aunt and uncleÕs home
and using an old viewer to look at pictures. As I remember, some were Civil War
photos. IÕve always thought that it would be fun to own one of these viewers
and start a collection of three dimensional photo cards. Many antique stores
have them available.
My gifts are now a topic of discussion when guests come to the house.
So, if you are trying to think of a unique gift to give to a spouse or someone
special, check out the Internet or your local antique store. IÕll just bet that
the recipient of such a gift will be surprised, and pleased.

JANUARY
MEETING
There were over sixty members and guests in attendance
to hear a most informative presentation on Colonial Research by Kathleen
Trevena. We learned that the colonial period extended from 1607 to 1773 and
that our ancestors from that time were considered citizens of their country of
origin.
Hospitality
chairman, Eileen Merchant, provided the delicious treats. Three of our members

USING
ROOTSWEB: BEING SUCCESSFUL IN GENEALOGY
By Myra Vanderpool Gormley, CG
The greatest treasure of RootsWeb is its
community -- the people who share their genealogical knowledge, expertise and
information about their families. Success in compiling your family tree and
learning more about your progenitors will come when you share your information.
Give and you will get back a hundred-fold.
Post and re-post messages on the
appropriate surname and locality mailing lists and message boards. Don't be
just a taker always asking for help or more information. Be a giver -- share
those bits and pieces of information that you find. It may be just the tidbit
or clue that someone else needs.
Share your tree by uploading a GEDCOM to
WorldConnect. Not perfect? Not complete? Don't worry about it. Do the best you
can. You can update it continually. Besides, I think I shall never see a
completed family tree. In your family tree -- off on some obscure (to you)
branch -- may be my missing limb and vice versa. Keeping the information locked
up in our computers or in paper files is foolish. We don't know what tomorrow
holds but most of us never get around to publishing the complete history of our
family. Working with cousins and "genie" friends to find, compile and
check out information on your multi-branched tree will provide you with
delectation and a pride of accomplishment.
Don't waste your time and efforts pointing
out errors and omissions you encounter or complaining about unimportant things,
such as name spellings. Do the best you can with your own tree -- not all of us
have the same research or compilation skills and we are all newbies at some
point. Most of us do our best and continue to learn as we progress in this
fascinating avocation. Continue to hone your skills so you can compile a family
history that your descendants will be proud of -- make it much more than a
laundry list of names, dates and begats.
Remember we do not own our ancestors or
the genealogical information about them. Facts cannot be copyrighted by anyone,
so relax and share with your cousins and don't whine if someone uses your
information and neglects to credit you properly. Focus on your major
genealogical goals for 2007; graciously share your data, and good luck with
your research.

Using RootsWeb: Private Concerns
Question. What can I do if I find private
information about my living family and myself members published at RootsWeb?
Answer. That depends upon the nature of
the "private" information and where you have found it. Most
information about living individuals is not considered "private" and
it is widely accessible. Names, dates, and places are public, not private,
information.
GEDCOMs (GEnealogical Data COMmunications)
submitted to WorldConnect http://wc.rootsweb.com/are automatically
"cleaned" for entries that involve individuals born prior to 1930 --
if there is no information listed in the death field. The submitter of the
GEDCOM can elect an earlier date for treating individuals as "living"
or can even remove the living individual from a file completely for public
display purposes. The 1930 U.S. census is available to the public. Thus anyone
appearing in it might appear in someone's posted family tree, even though that
individual is only say 76 years young.
If you find information about yourself in
a WorldConnect family tree file you can contact the submitter at the e-mail
address provided on any page of the database and politely request that it be
removed from public display. However, unless this information is actually
private (LIVING Smith is NOT private) in nature and/or concerns someone born
after 1930, it can only be removed through the courtesy of the submitter.
RootsWeb does not edit or alter these user-owned and controlled trees.
Note: Some genealogy programs allow users
to privatize (exclude) certain individuals or data when creating the GEDCOM and
prior to submitting it to WorldConnect. However, this approach is not
recommended, as the data you remove is the very data WorldConnect filters need
to establish whether an individual is to be treated as living or dead. Also,
removing data from the raw file you submit to WorldConnect prohibits it from
preserving your complete genealogy file to be used by you as a backup should
you need to restore lost data on your own computer. If you don't submit it, you
can't retrieve it later.

ORGANIZING BY PLACE
– Michael John Neill
Geographic clues can be significant to the family historian. One
of the best ways to notice these clues is through the use of maps. Using maps
though requires more than simply making a copy and sticking it in a folder.
With some thought, some analysis, and some time, a map may help you notice more
than you expect about your ancestor and his family.
A Map Over Time - Create a map that documents each residence of your ancestor
over their entire lifetime. It will give you a different perspective on your
ancestor and may bring additional questions to your mind. Do you know when your
ancestor crossed certain geographic features (the Mississippi River, the Rocky
Mountains, etc.)? Was he a child or an adult at the time when most of the
travel in his life took place? Consider the routes he mostly likely would have
taken. Are there places he might have stopped along the way?
Look at the times when your ancestor moved. Were there other
events also going on in his life that might have caused him to move? Had his
wife or parent died? Had he just gotten married? Were there regional or
national events that might have been the impetus for him to re-locate? Had the
economy taken a downswing? Had new lands been opened for settlement? Your
ancestor may have moved on a whim or he may have not.
Map Your Ancestor's Neighborhood - If your ancestor was an urban dweller,
use city directories to determine where he lived at a specific point in time.
Find out where nearby churches, cemeteries and places of employment were around
at that time using city and county histories, directories, and other sources.
If the time period is appropriate, consider the use of fire insurance maps to
get a better view of the neighborhood and to assist in locating nearby
landmarks and other institutions that may have played a role in your ancestor's
life.
If your ancestor lived in a rural area, find his farm on plat
maps, if these publications are available. Plat maps indicate the size and
location of every farm in the area, usually an entire county and usually with
one township per page. This reference would allow you to determine precisely
where your ancestor's farm was located and how the size of his farm compared to
that of his neighbors. Bear in mind that if your ancestor was a tenant farmer
his name will not appear in this reference. Plat maps typically list owners and
not renters. This information (coupled with census and other records) can also
help in determining what kind of ethnic neighborhood in which your ancestor
lived. Attention should be paid to locations of nearby churches, cemeteries,
and schools.
If your ancestor was an early colonial settler, mapping his neighborhood
may be an even more onerous task, but the benefits may be well worth it.
Properties in the colonial era were described in metes and bounds, basically
indicating the length each side of the parcel and the angle of each corner.
Those who have worked with such properties know that squares and rectangles had
yet to be discovered! Platting such property is not for the faint of heart, but
there is software to assist and some neighborhoods have already been recreated.
In a time period when many records are non-existent, platting property over
time may answer questions not specifically mentioned in the records.
Put the Location in Context - Does the residence of your ancestor seem a little bit
strange? I wondered why a French-Canadian woman and her Greek immigrant husband
are living on Chicago's north side in 1920, a fair distance from her Chicago
area family and in an area with apparently no other ethnic Greeks. Further
research explained the likely reason for the anomaly. This couple was living on
the north side a distance from family and friends as the wife was not yet
divorced from her first husband and already living with her second husband. It
is probably an understatement to say that the second husband's Greek Orthodox
relatives and her Roman Catholic family most likely did not look favorably upon
the situation.
Without a map and with no knowledge of the Chicago area, this
oddity would not have been noticed and might not have been explored. Maps are
crucial in helping genealogists notice such details, especially in areas with
which they are not personally familiar. It can be difficult for text alone to
convey a geographic message.
Put the Locations All on One Map - Nine of my ancestral families
immigrated to the United States from Osfriesland, Germany, over a twenty year
time period. When I marked their place of origin on a map, they were clustered
in three areas. Two of these clusters were within a few miles of each other
while the third was over ten miles away. There were many different small
villages from which they originated. Mapping the locations all at once helped
me to notice which ones might have been neighbors in the homeland.
Putting all the names on one map can be a helpful tool with urban
research too. A city directory may contain three references to a William Apgar.
One way to eliminate some from consideration is to consider the neighborhood
where each one is from. An easy way to do this is to map the residence of each
one. Compare these residences to known residences for the family under study.
People did move, but moves into an upscale neighborhood from a lower
middle-class working neighborhood are unusual without an accompanying change in
economic status.
Maps Provide a Picture - Maps can provide a picture, which no amount of words can convey.
Using maps to plat your ancestor's moves, his residence and his neighbors may
cause you to notice things that have been overlooked for years. Your ancestor
probably was familiar with his neighborhood. You should be too.

CLARK GABLE, WAS HE A COUSIN?
By Patricia Weeks
When
my mother first met my future husband, Bud Weeks, she remarked that he reminded
her of Clark Gable. A few years after our marriage I discovered that Clark was
indeed a cousin of BudÕs. So, when I had a lull in my own research I decided to
tackle this story to see if it was really true, and just how close a cousin he
actually was.
I
found another researcher on the Internet, a distant cousin, who had also heard
of the Clark Gable connection. So, the two of us began our collaboration to
prove, or disprove, this claim.
What
fun it was! The postage we spent sending back and forth our daily finds was
huge! And, such a commotion I caused that day at the National Archives when I
announced, "Well, here he is, Clark Gable!" Every woman in the room
came running over to see nine-year-old ClarkÕs name on the 1910 Census.
Cousin
Charlene and I found that Clark was the son of Bill Gable whose wife died
shortly after Clark was born. Bill set out to find himself a wife and a mother
for young Clark. He found Jennie Dunlap, who agreed to accept his marriage
proposal. In Clark Gable's memoirs, he wrote that he idolized this stepmother
of his.
Jennie
Dunlap Gable was the daughter of Henry Dunlap and Frances Richard of Harrison
County, Ohio. Her mother, Frances, was the sister to my husband's
great-grandmother, Bothia Richard Caves.
So
much for blood ties! ÔTis a shame, for Clark missed out on inheriting the genes
of the Richard family, and who knows what he could have become. He could have
looked like Bud Weeks, and I think Bud was much more handsome than Clark Gable.

CONDOLENCES
We are sad to report the passing on
January 26 of Bud Weeks, husband of long time member Patricia Weeks. Although
Bud was born in Sand Point, Idaho in 1928, he was nearly a native of
California, having spent the major part of his life here. Before retiring, he
was the owner of a pool equipment company. Bud owned a boat for many years and
was happiest in or near the water. In 1954 Pat and Bud were married in Santa
Monica, California. They had one son, Doug, a paramedic with the City of
Orange, and two grandsons, both now in college.
Bud is descended from Joseph Weeks who
went to Virginia in 1690. While he was Ònot intoÓ genealogy, his two aunts were
instrumental in getting Pat started. They had already done a tremendous amount
of research into their families, and this sparked Pat to pursue her own lines.
Bud was very clever with his hands, thus
he was able to keep busy during retirement until illness made it impossible for
him to continue his hobbies. His body has been cremated and his ashes will be
strewn at sea. Pat has our deepest sympathy.

Query: James Woodford, Who was your
daddy?
I think you were born 22 Nov 1786 in Avon,
CT. When I searched the microfilmed records of the Congregational Church all I
found was Asa Woodford and Lucretia, his wife, had born unto them "a male child" on that
date! Baptism was not found. Asa's
other children were baptized in Avon. James was living in Onondaga co., NY in
1840. He married Urania Robinson in Aug 1803 in Cayuga Co., NY. Asa did not name all his children in
his will. The only son named was Rufus "who stayed home with me in my old
age". Was there a split in
the family relationship? Another
reference claims, without documentation, that James was the son of Asa. If Asa was not your father, then
who? [email protected]
