Fra Eutin til København: "Engel Grage kan føre sin stamtavle tilbage til midten af 1600-tallet, til Tiess (der alte) Drückhammer, som stammer fra Mecklenburg. Han får en søn, er også kommer til at hedde Tiess, og som naturligt nok bliver kaldet Tiess der Junge. Tiess der Alte kommer i sine unge dage vandrende til byen Meinsdorf, til den stedlige mølle. Her er mølleren død, og enken har brug for en mand til at tage over, så her får han beskæftigelse. Han forelsker sig i møllerens datter Annke Specht, og de bliver gift i 1647. I afskriften fra Eutin kirkebog står der følgende:
Auszug aus dem Copulationsregister der ev. luth. Kirchengemeinde Eutin.
Jahrgang 1647 Nr. 1, Seite 7.
Den 1. February Montags auf Duca 4 post Trin.
Tyes Drückhamer ein Meklenbürger Knecht, so eine Zeitlang auf der Brakermühle und zu Meynstorf gedienet, mit
Annke Spechts, weyland Müller auf der Brakermühle hinterlassener Tochter.
Geschah invitis Parentiby.
(Tyes Drückhammer, en svend fra Mecklenburg, som har tjent på Brakermühle et stykke tid, viet til Annke Specht, datter af den afdøde møller på Brakermühle. Dette skete imod forældrenes vilje). . . . ."
Do you have Dutch ancestry? Dutch-American Heritage Day is on November 16. My Dutch ancestry can be seen on the New Netherland section of Olive Tree Genealogy website. New Netherland was owned by the Dutch, then sold to the English and became New York, so if your ancestors were early settlers in that State, you too may have Dutch ancestry. Following is the official proclamation of President Bush,
What would your life be like without email? Would anything change? Would you have more time for other things? I've often wondered how I would manage without email. I must admit, I check it dozens of times a day. Ten years ago I made the ultimate mistake by checking it one last time while my wife was in the car waiting to drive to the hospital for the birth of our first child. I shouldn't have told her. :)
This past week at Millennia we have actually experienced what it is like without email. I do not know the details, but since last Thursday we have not been able to receive your messages. If you have emailed any of us at Customer Support, Support, or any of us personally at Millennia, we have not responded to you because we have not received any emails. Obviously it is not good for a company like ours to be without the normal methods of communication with our customers, and we apologize for this inconvenience. Our guys have been working around the clock to get this resolved, so hopefully we'll be back online soon. Feel free to give us a call (800-753-3453 for sales or 425-788-0932 for technical support).
After the initial shock of being email-less, and staring at my dual monitors wondering what I should do next, I've actually got quite a bit of work done.
Now what would I do if my personal email account went down? Write a letter...on paper...with a pencil...find a stamp...and mail it?
RootsWeb: Genealogy Mailing Lists: England : BRISTOL_AND_DISTRICT: "Topic: A mailing list for anyone with family history and genealogical interests in the county and city of Bristol and surrounding areas of South Gloucestershire and North Somerset within approximately a 20 mile radius. Topics include family, social, cultural and local history, past and present, including dialect, slang and sayings, traditions, occupations, recipes and folklore in order to place the lives of our ancestors in perspective, as well as methods and problems of recording both family and associated historical information."
RootsWeb: BRISTOL_AND_DISTRICT-L [B&D] [ADMIN] Important Reminder about the 1911 census: "We've had a number of new members to welcome to the list as well as
welcoming back a number of returning members who took time out from their research over the last year or so.
I'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the Terms and Conditions for the 1911 census are that the research you do on there must be for your OWN purposes *only*. That means no look ups for other people or you risk losing your account. FindMyPast does monitor for mentions of the 1911 census.
Please do NOT ask for look ups."
my reply was censored:-As an adult I choose to take this risk - which I blogged long ago
I am in touch with FMP by email and phone and enjoy helping people with problems, and typically I report at least six transcription errors every time I log on
http://www.findmypast.com/CensusAddressSearchServlet?redef=1 and enter Bristol to get a list of streets
1504 results for 1841
6518 results. fro 1911
a typical error:-A Redcliffe St Bristolis in fact
87A Redcliffe St Bristol because the house numbers -A -B -C fail to get listed as numbers
RG78 Enumerators Summary book images are only accessible from buttons above the original schedule images, and include both the "Description of the Enumeration District" and the "Contents of the Enumeration District".
I found one image of a schedule was missing in Glamorgan but RG78 proved that it existed in 1911 and 4 or 5 emails and four phone calls and (a month later) the National Archives at Kew have found that the original document has survived but was neither imaged nor transcribed
1 Mythe Cottages Rockleage Road Sneyd Park Bristolto those of us with local knowledge the two typos are obvious
Obviously a massive number of look ups for an individual is wrong
but helping other subscribers with problems is OK
at the end of any town list you get
Other Establishmentswhich includes really badly transcribed addresses
eg Hotels, inns or farms
or private houses like
"The Willows" Usk with no street listed
except in RG78 hows it as a private house in Baron Street
by coincidence my granny's best friend my "aunty" Kitty - Kate Marfell is there :-)

Genea-Musings: SDGS Ancestry.com Family History Seminar Highlights: "Publishing and Printing Using 'MyCanvas' '
This session covered using the 'MyCanvas' program, part of the Ancestry.com site tools, to create and print custom family history books, posters, and calendars to showcase your family history research and make gifts to share with your family. This is a 'Print on Demand' system - you make it, you can print it, or you can pat for a professionally produced book based on your selected content. The process relies on your Ancestry Member Tree for the names, dates and places, and the user can attach photographs and document images to create the MyCanvas product. The steps to creating the work is fairly simple - choose a size and format for the book, choose a start person from your tree, import data and records from your tree, add stories, documents, maps and more, choose layouts, backgrounds, frames and embellishments, etc. The page order can be modified as the user wishes. Pedigree charts, family group sheets and timelines can be created by the program. Notes and stories can be added to text boxes by typing into the text box or pasting from another document.
Creating the book or other article is free to anyone - they can create the family tree, upload their documents and photos, add or edit facts, sources and notes, etc. Up to five generations from the selected person can be included in the book, up to a maximum of 250 pages.
The book or other article can be printed to the user's printer, but cannot be saved on the user's computer. The book is saved on the Ancestry.com computer system, and can be accessed and edited at any time, even by another family member invited to do so by the creator. If the user wishes to have the book published by MyCanvas, price estimates are available based on cover style, binding type, and then umber of pages in the book.
Suzanne spent considerable time in this session demonstrating how to create a book from an Ancestry Member Tree, and then she manipulated book content from a previously created book to show how easy it was to add content, edit content, move pages around, add backgrounds and embellishments, etc. . . . ."
Elkington Family:
"This Website has been created to help those called Elkington or who may have relatives called Elkington
Some of the trees are taken from the works of Arthur Edward Hardwicke Elkington and his cousin, Christine Elkington, who worked tirelessly to record all the Elkington families known to them at the time of their work. Their notes have been used to form the records contained in these trees and backed up with Family Documents, Wills, Family Bibles, Church Records and Bishops Transcripts
Mini Histories, which provide a colourful background to the story of this family, have been carefully researched and documented by their families and local records. Most of the official documents start with the beginning of the Church Records in the C16 but various other documents have survived and whilst we cannot prove a direct line, it shows that the family has been in England since before the Norman Invasion. Every history has the tree of the person concerned at the end of it showing the source for that particular member and county he or she comes from originally
There are many Wills which have proved a useful source for identifying various members of the different families. In some cases it has proved totally not possible to read off words and a gap has been indicated by a blank but the overall result gives a more or less full picture of the Testators instructions
Trees covering families not in the United Kingdom are as correct as possible, but it has not been possible to be absolutely accurate with families outside the United Kingdom"
from my usenet email:-Hi Everyone,
I have now completed the first three generations of the Warwickshire Branch of the ELKINGTON family. I have included wills and Inventories of each man of the first three generations.
All children are named and opposite each of the founders of different branches are the number of that tree. In due course I hope to publish the trees on the Internet site. I think this should sort out much of the mis-information on the Internet and although I have based this on the works of AEH Elkington and C.M.Elkington, corrections and additions have been made where appropriate.
Many thanks to those members of the family and genealogists who have helped to compile these notes. There is an address on the Website to write to if you have any queries and of course if you think you are descended from any of the lines I would be pleased to hear from you.
Regards
Judy Elkington
