One Genealogist has brought the British government to its knees. Guy Etchells requested access to a single 1911 census record for Bottesford in Leicestershire through a Freedom of Information request. His request was granted, and when Your Family Tree contacted The National Archives (TNA) with the news, they agreed to crack open the entire census ahead of the official 2012 release date.Starting…

An article in the New York Observer lays out some of the illustrious Family Tree of the Mortimer clan.The Mortimer family traces its origins to John Jay, the nation’s first chief justice. One of the current generation, Robert Livingston (Topper) Mortimer, that trusty husband of Tinsley, is the great-grandson of Henry Morgan Tilford, a president of Standard Oil, and he bears as well the name of

Colma, California—founded as a necropolis in 1924—has “1,500 aboveground residents,” according to Mayor Helen Fisicaro, “and 1.5 million underground.”For the first few decades, Colma’s residents were mainly gravediggers, flower growers and monument makers. But by the 1980s, other types of people and businesses were settling in next to the dead. Today the little city has many thriving businesses,

For a few years now my mom has mentioned the idea of creating a family cookbook. At one point she asked for recipes from people in the family, but not many people responded. So it is still on the “to do” list. Kimberly Powell wrote a nice blog entry about creating a family cookbook, and here are her tips for encouraging a reply:

* Ask those that can to send their recipes and stories by email. You’re not only more likely to receive more submissions, but you’ll also be able to cut and paste the recipes right into your final document.

* Since emailing good quality pictures can be so painful for many, consider joining a photo share site to make it easier for participants to upload their photos.

* Set a deadline that allows family members at least a few weeks to gather together their recipes, but not so far out in the future that they forget about the project all together. You may also want to send a short reminder postcard or email a week or two before the final submission deadline.

* For participants you know don’t have email, try sending a SASE with your letter to boost the chance of a response.

* If you’re planning to sell the cookbook to help recoop your costs, it is still nice to offer free copies to everyone who contributes recipes, stories or photos.

I also found a genealogy blog called Family Matters that has written a few entries about how they made a family cookbook for this Christmas. It looks like they put a lot of work into it with pictures and different styles. They used The Living Cookbook software and Lulu for printing.

Hopefully with these helpful blog entries on the topic, my mother and I can get one made for next year!

When one is unfamiliar with the laws of an area it can be easy to assume things that simply are not true.

Nancy Rampley and her youngest son sued all her other children (and his siblings) in the early 1900s over the title to her farm in Illinois. One could look at this as a great disagreement between Nancy and her son and the other children. That was not the case.

Nancy’s husband died leaving no will. Nancy and all her children owned the farm jointly. Nancy wanted to sell the farm and move to town. The only problem was her youngest son was a minor and unable to sign of his own accord. Consequently Nancy and the youngest minor child had to sue the rest of the family. It was the only recourse they had due to his age.

What I originally thought was a huge family squabble was really the result of the youngest child’s age, the law at the time, and Nancy’s unwillingness to wait to sell the farm and move to town
