- James Tanner at Genealogy's Star discusses Using Your Smart Phone to Take Pictures, and whether or not camera phones have advanced enough to compete with the best cameras.
- Crista Cowan on the Ancestry.com blog talked about the recent additions of several birth, marriage and death databases at Ancestry. These additions are great, but it's worth noting that several include data from local indexes around the web, such as the St. Louis Post Dispatch Obituary Index at the St. Louis Public Library.
Ancestry called its version of the database: Web: St. Louis Post Dispatch Obituary Index: 1880-2009. I like that they are clearly labeling these differently from their other databases, however, this is slightly misleading. Ancestry has a habit, I've noticed, of listing the date of the earliest record, and the most recent record, and implying the database is complete. The St. Louis Public Library is more honest with the contents of the database. The database currently covers: 1880-1930, 1942-1945, 1960-1969, and 1992-2010.

Ancestry Can Be Quick to Fix an Error
Michael John Neill at RootDig wrote a post entitled, Ancestry.com - There is More To Illinois than Cook County
Ancestry's Illinois, Deaths and Stillbirths Index (1916-1947) provided the following source information:
Below is an image of my Great Great Uncle, Max Newmark's record copied a few minutes ago:
No longer does the description indicate that it is only Cook County Records. Which is a good thing, as my great great uncle died in East St. Louis, Illinois - a fair distance from Chicago/Cook County.
Something else I'll note -- this is another good example of the issues with record transcriptions without accompanying images. While the transcription comes originally from FamilySearch, they too don't have the image. Though with the microfilm number, I can obtain a copy if I wish.
Max's wife's name should be Dora, not Iona.
The cemetery's name is B'nai Amoona, not Bnar Amoona.
I'm sure the informant said he was born in England, even though I'm pretty certain that isn't the case. The Newmark family moved to England shortly after his birth.
I transcribed the newspaper account of his death back in February of 2010.
Ancestry's Illinois, Deaths and Stillbirths Index (1916-1947) provided the following source information:
But the description indicated that the records were extracted from the Cook County records. This wasn't accurate as there were records in the database from all over Illinois. I use the past tense, as while his post was this morning, and he has a screen print of a record, someone from Ancestry must have read his post, because they have already corrected the error.Ancestry.com.

Amanuensis Monday: Judson Van Every - Manchester Journal - 1915-1917
Amanuensis: A person employed to write what another dictates or to copy what has been written by another.
I continue my project to transcribe family letters, journals, newspaper articles, audiotapes, and other historical artifacts. Not only do the documents contain genealogical information, the words breathe life into kin - some I never met - others I see a time in their life before I knew them.

This week, I share more transcriptions from The Manchester Journal (Manchester, OK). Judson Van Every, the brother of my great grandfather, Melvin Van Every, appeared often in the pages. These transcriptions were originally written down by Wayne York, a grandson of Judson Van Every. I found the transcriptions attached to an entry on an Ancestry Public Member Tree belonging to plnjmw. They are shared with her permission.
Last week, we saw Jud and his family left the Manchester area in April of 1910 for Idaho. But his travels didn't end there.

SNGF: Ancestor's GeneaMeme
For tonight's Saturday Night Genealogy Fun, Randy Seaver at Genea-Musings suggested:
The list should be annotated in the following manner:
Things you have already done or found: bold face type
Things you would like to do or find: italicize (colour optional)
Things you haven’t done or found and don’t care to: plain type
You are encouraged to add extra comments in brackets after each item
[I've added some notes in brackets]
4. Have an ancestor who was married more than three times [several]
5. Have an ancestor who was a bigamist. [I am unsure the correct term was chosen here. Bigamy is always a crime, by definition. Someone who has a polygamist ancestor doesn't have a bigamist ancestor, as long as it was legal.]
6. Met all four of my grandparents [3/4]
7. Met one or more of my great-grandparents [1]
10. Have an ancestor from Great Britain or Ireland
11. Have an ancestor from Asia [No identified ancestor]
12. Have an ancestor from Continental Europe
13. Have an ancestor from Africa [No identified ancestor, though I'm sure if I were able to trace my ancestry back far enough...]
14. Have an ancestor who was an agricultural labourer [Both of my maternal grandparents grew up on a farm. I have to go a few generations further back on my father's side.]
15. Have an ancestor who had large land holdings
16. Have an ancestor who was a holy man - minister, priest, rabbi [Methodist and Mennonite]
17. Have an ancestor who was a midwife [A great grandmother practiced midwifery in Chicago after emigrating from Transylvania]
18. Have an ancestor who was an author [Ancestry's OneFamilyTree states Chaucer as my 18th great grandfather, but I have disproven that relationship. I do have a close ancestor who published a book on legal matters.]
19. Have an ancestor with the surname Smith, Murphy or Jones
20. Have an ancestor with the surname Wong, Kim, Suzuki or Ng
21. Have an ancestor with a surname beginning with X
22. Have an ancestor with a forename beginning with Z
23. Have an ancestor born on 25th December
24. Have an ancestor born on New Year's Day
25. Have blue blood in your family lines [I used to believe all my blood was blue, before it was oxygenated. However, this scientific myth is allegedly inaccurate. OneFamilyTree would tell you I have royal ancestry, but I haven't verified my lines.]
26. Have a parent who was born in a country different from my country of birth
27. Have a grandparent who was born in a country different from my country of birth [1/4]
28. Can trace a direct family line back to the eighteenth century
29. Can trace a direct family line back to the seventeenth century or earlier
30. Have seen copies of the signatures of some of my great-grandparents [All 8 I believe.]
31. Have ancestors who signed their marriage certificate with an X (not that I know of)
32. Have a grandparent or earlier ancestor who went to university [Both of my grandfathers. One of my grandmothers took college courses, though she didn't get a degree. My other grandmother enrolled at a university, but changed her mind, and didn't attend.]
33. Have an ancestor who was convicted of a criminal offence
34. Have an ancestor who was a victim of crime. [No serious crime I can think of offhand. Not counting petty theft.]
35. Have shared an ancestor's story online or in a magazine [I'm a genealogy blogger. That's what I do.]
38. Still have an ancestor's home from the 19th or earlier centuries in the family.

Week In Review
Below are some highlights from news stories and blog posts I have read in the past week that deal with my overlapping interests in Genealogy, History, Heritage, and Technology.
The following individuals participated this past Monday in the weekly meme I began back in February of 2009: Amanuensis Monday. I apologize if I missed anyone, as I had to rely on Google to find many of the posts. It is my understanding Thomas MacEntee at Geneabloggers will be back in town and tracking participation in the daily blogging prompts tomorrow.
Other Weekly Link Lists
Many of those who usually appear below post on Friday. However, Randy usually does an excellent job of listing other lists.
- The Ancestry Insider reports that the number of images at FamilySearch has surpassed Ancestry. FamilySearch has a lot of images that aren't indexed. James Tanner at Genealogy's Star notes that Ancestry has a lot of indexes without images. And without the images, there's no way to verify that the record has been transcribed correctly.
- Audrey Collins at The Family Recorder reminds us: "There are many popular records that you can find on more than one genealogy site, and if you don't find what you want one one site, it's a good idea to try another one." - Same BMD Databases, Different Sites
- Back on September 28th the Statistical Abstract of the United States was released. (hat/tip: Dublin Library)
- Diane Richard at Upfront with NGS discusses The National Archives five Tumblr accounts.
- The 110th edition of the Carnival of Genealogy has been released at CreativeGene. The theme: Which type of tree best represents your family history? The theme for the 111th edition is Autumn Weddings, with a deadline of November 1st. More details.
- Kerry Scott at Clue Wagon reports that Scientists Discover Virus Responsible for Genea-Skankery
