<br />
Many times when one researches the ol' family tree dates are estimated. An example is when one sees a family listed on a census, birth dates are not normally listed, just ages so if in 1940 an ancestor is listed on the census as being 10 years old then this person's birth year could have been in 1930 or perhaps even in 1929 if their birthday is after the census date. I was taking a look at several family trees on Ancestry and comparing with individuals on my tree. Here is a look at a listing of a woman's children as was noted on about half a dozen trees.<br />
<br />

</dl>
</dd><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Please note that 1 child died 2 years before she was born. More research needs to be done because it appears that the same child may be listed twice or perhaps 2 children born in the same year were given the same name.<br />
<br />
The thing is, double check the information. Other folks' family trees are not primary sources and are subject to errors and in this case, numerous researchers duplicated the same mistake on their trees.<br />
<br />
Happy hunting!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am sometimes amazed to see the cost of foods in the olden days. At times I wonder if we actually "get ahead" when wages go up because the cost of food goes up too. At times it seems like we are barely keeping up with the status quo. (Click on photo to enlarge.)</div>

Often when reading newspaper obituaries, wedding and engagement announcements there may be errors as far as relationships listed in the articles. An example of errors was found in a couple wedding and engagement announcements that I was perusing the other day. Johnny Smith was getting married to Janie Jones. Johnny's step-father, Joe Doe Sr., was listed as father of the groom and there was no mention of biological father. Johnny has a half-brother who is a Joe Doe Jr. The article mentions that Joe Doe was the best man. There was no mention of Junior or Senior after the name of Joe Doe. Since I personally know this family, I know that Joe Doe Sr. was also the best man because Joe Doe Jr. was deployed with the military. Confused yet?<br />
<br />
An obituary I had gone over listed a woman's grandchildren. Well, actually her natural grandchildren were listed, 1 of her 3 step-grandchildren was listed and there was no indication that the included 1 was not biological. A non-related, non adopted person was listed as grandchild when in fact this person was an honorary grandchild since no legal adoption had taken place.<br />
<br />
Rule of thumb--If these newspaper articles seem "fishy" then they very well might be. Do not accept as truth until you have found more reliable documentation, preferably a primary source.<br />
<br />
Another thing, if you are responsible for providing information for obituaries, wedding and engagement announcements, then lets stick to the facts.<br />
<br />
Happy hunting!<br />

<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script";">Today's hint is about assigning a family position to a family member. For example, I'm looking at an individual's profile, let's call him John Quincy Doe, and notice that through research I have discovered he has another child called Frederick Barney Doe. So, I enter this new person, Frederick, as child of John Quincy Doe. On Ancestry, one is able to go to John Quincy Doe's page and enter new individuals according to their relationship to JQD e.g. child, spouse or parent.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Segoe Script";"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Segoe Script;">One day when I was working on my tree, I noticed that a close relative had been assigned the wrong relationship. She was assigned as her father's spouse. Imagine the disservice done to the individuals reputations if future genealogists took this information at face value.</span><br />

I have decided to post hints on doing genealogical research. Every now and then, I run across examples of what-not-to-do when documenting your tree.I am not an expert by any means although, I do have a degree in history and was taught a bit about researching. I plan to every now and then post a hint, one at a time so not to overwhelm.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today's hint--</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Women are always entered on a tree by their <b>maiden</b> name NOT married name.</span> </div>

I have no proof of this--it is family lore.</span><br />

Notice the lack of illustrations.Today (2016), most of these things are leisure time activities of women and some men too. My paternal grandfather was born in 1888, a year after this book was copyrighted so perhaps my great grandmother had one of these.<br />

This ad shows that cocaine was peddled to aid in improving one's hair growth and appearance. Notice the archaic spelling of cocaine as cocoaine. I must come out and tell you that I am <b>NOT</b> advising you to try this. If you have problems with your hair I would advise a good conditioner, Rogaine, or a consult with your stylist.<br />

A source for this information was not noted so I'm on a mission to locate documentation for this. So, I thought that I would check out some videos on this war and I think you will enjoy this one for its educational content.<br />

D-day, 1944<br />
"OK, let's go."<br />
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, giving the final order for D-day, the assault on Nazi-occupied France, June 5, 1944.<br />
<br />
The greatest invasion force in the history of warfare stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, on D-Day, June 6, 1944. It was the beginning of a campaign of liberation to eliminate Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and its commander, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander, Allied Expeditionary Force, called it "The Great Crusade."<br />
<br />
Eisenhower gave the final order that put the vast operation in motion in the early morning hours of June 5, as meteorologists predicted a temporary break in the stormy weather. Hours later he wrote this note, in case the operation were to fail. In the statement, he praised the men he commanded and accepted total responsibility for the failure the next day could bring. The only apparent hint of nerves on his part is his error in dating the note "July 5" instead of June 5.<br />

The Women's Land Army was first created during World War One in the UK. This was an era when a great deal of farm work was done by men. With so many young men called up for the armed services, there was a real gap in farm workers. Hence, the government called on women to fill this gap. The same situation arose in World War Two - home grown food was needed and the men were not there to harvest it. Hence why the government resurrected the WLA.</div>

Eleven million people were killed in the Holocaust. Almost six million of these were Jewish - Hitler's most recognized victims. But, more than five million were not Jewish. Who were these other victims?<br />
<br />
The author, a Jewish convert of Polish Catholic descent, whose uncle was murdered by Nazi soldiers, discovered that there are many non-Jewish survivors eager to share their stories. There are hundreds of children of these survivors who have been searching for a voice - an opportunity to finally be counted. This book defines the non-Jewish Holocaust victims with actual interviews and stories contributed by survivors.
This Kindle version is available for free. I don't know how long it will be free so if you want it, double check the price before checking out to make sure you're not being charged. I'm putting a direct link below this post for you.<br />

After watching videos, I am impressed by the big-entertainment value some of these shows had with the primitive technology available then. One of my favorite characters on this show was Mr. Green Jeans (although he's not on this particular clip). So here for your pleasure and reminiscence is a look at <i>Captain Kangaroo</i>--<br />

Here's a look at Mr. Green Jeans--<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCRHj0Z8gMYGOcQK-qoTAVW2aSkLwDTjN5q3mmPSfxW562pyD0LFnkt4JihyZneJpsT2-Gl5H0lSzAn0Qfrk3brkfB-LaEJdwXj8sDOzdNQlIm5L1_dTBST6cntX0uMdjcfS3z8yRQI4U/s1600/mr+green+jeans.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCRHj0Z8gMYGOcQK-qoTAVW2aSkLwDTjN5q3mmPSfxW562pyD0LFnkt4JihyZneJpsT2-Gl5H0lSzAn0Qfrk3brkfB-LaEJdwXj8sDOzdNQlIm5L1_dTBST6cntX0uMdjcfS3z8yRQI4U/s1600/mr+green+jeans.gif" /></a></div><br />
It is important to remember that even though we knew Mr. Green Jeans wore green denim clothing, the early shows were broadcast in black and white and even when the shows were eventually broadcast in color, many homes did not have colored television sets.<br />
