From Greg Frederick
DearMYRTLE,
Do you or others have any tips on how to manage a shared genealogy effort?
I started doing my research
several years ago and amassed lots of good data. Fortunately my father now
has the genealogy bug and has been contributing. We have been struggling
on how to keep in our efforts in sync. We each use the Legacy software
package and that has been a help but it’s not as smooth as it could be.
Specifically, I would appreciate any ideas on . . .
-- How often should we sync the legacy database? Multimedia files?
-- Is it best to have each researcher focus on a family or family line?
-- Is there a good online “to-do” or research log? We could use a blog but
are there other ideas?
I look forward to your response. Thanks! |

Elizabeth Powell Crowe,
beloved author of
GENEALOGY ONLINE. From the Library Journal "The
increasing number of online genealogy sites and tools allows today's searchers
to seek and locate thousands of pages of data in a way they could not have
imagined some 20 years ago. Yet even computer-savvy genealogists may not be
fully utilizing the many resources available to them. In the most recent edition
of her best-selling guide, Crowe, a former contributing editor to Computer
Currents, aims to instruct all levels of researchers on the joys and perils
of online genealogy." Myrt's enjoys Libbi's
professional approach with a flair for practical, helpful instruction to her
readers, and highly recommends this book as "A PERFECT MAP ON THE INFORMATION
SUPER HIGHWAY for family historians!"

Sharon MacInnes from Ancestor
Tracks, the producer of the series of books and CDs in the Early Landowners
of Pennsylvania series, has announced the release of First Landowners of
Pennsylvania: Colonial and State Warrant Registers
in the PA Archives, Harrisburg 1682-ca 1940. Available for the first time
outside of the Pennsylvania Archives in Harrisburg, this CD of .pdf files
contains three major resources for researchers, that predate the deed
books located in each county.
- (1) the warrant register for Original Purchasers
(starting in 1682) with an everyname index for this register
- (2) two registers for Old Rights Purchasers (one
for Philadelphia and one for Bucks & Chester Counties combined, also starting
in 1682)
- (3) all of the warrant registers (67
volumes, one for each county, starting with those in existence in 1733) for
the original sales from the Penns, and then the state, to the first private
owners of the land throughout Pennsylvania.
Note:
Sharon explains these
registers were published in the Pennsylvania Archives (Series 3, Volumes 24-26),
but the published version only includes the name of the warrantee, the number of
acres (rounded off), and the date of the warrant (which is mislabeled as the
date of the survey). No location or patentee information is given. For more
information and a map showing what land other resources now exist for the state
of Pennsylvania, go to
