BoBcaygeon. 4-1SN Genealogy by Tammy Hill The search for information information into a family's background background is a long process. However, Kay Pickard, Secretary Secretary of the Whitby/ Oshawa branch of the Ontario Ontario Genealogical Society, spoke at a recent Coffee Chat at the Bowmanville Branch Library to help make the process a little easier. Mrs. Pickard explained that the best place to start gathering information about your family is from family members. "Let them ramble on. The smallest scrap of information may be important later," she said. She suggested that a tape cassette of the discussion may also be helpful. Sending letters to family members or contacts is a way of finding out information. information. However Mrs. Pickard commented that when writing, writing, ask only one or two questions the first time to just let them know what you're doing. An over abundance abundance of questions could discourage the person. She also noted that you should always send a self addressed addressed stamped envelope with your letter to ensure that you receive an answer. When sending overseas, enclose enclose reply coupons or some other form of money. Once you have begun your search for information and these sources within the family have been fully- utilized a starting point will have been reached. Mrs. Pickard suggested several places and items to investigate for further information. information. She listed: pay books, logs, diaries, letters, account books, pictures, cemetery records, certificates, certificates, wills, obituaries, deeds, service records, old memorial cards, wedding and baby announcements, diplomas, and naturalization naturalization forms. Placement of an ad in a newspaper is another means of gleaning information. Much of the data mentioned mentioned in the above sources are kept on file in libraries, archives, and genealogical societies. Census records, found in the Ontario Archives, go back as far as the 1660's for information in some parts of Canada. Government records records located in Toronto are available at the MacDonald MacDonald Block at Queen's Park and go as far back as July 1,1869. Land records are usually found between the years 1760 and 1867 at the public archives. Mrs. Pickard noted that anyone searching searching for a family with a United Empire Loyalist (UEL) background will likely find some information information in these records. Ship records are another possible source of information, information, however Mrs. Pickard said that until 1865 these records records were very skimpy because because the ship's captain was not required to make detailed detailed lists. Church records can also be a difficult source to study. Mrs. Pickard said that many churches never had original records duplicated duplicated and therefore they could have been lost. She also reminded the group that prior to 1791 the only recognized churches were the Catholic Church and the Church of England. One of the finest sources of information Mrs. Pickard mentioned was the LDS library. library. This is the library set up in the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints -- a denomination which has dedicated itself to genealogy. Mrs. Pickard said that any one of their libraries will give the name, age, occupation, religion and possible country of a person, "Anyone interested in searching for ancestors in the Durham Region has a lot of information available to them,"Mrs. Pickard said, "The genealogy field is growing and I think there will be more information, since more people will bo giving information," she said. "It may lake you a long lime,...but you'll have a lot of fun doing it." by Betty Marti Local music-lovers can look forward to a real treat when celebrated concert pianist, James Correnti, performs at Bowmanville Baptist Church on February 14, at7:30p.m. Mr. Correnti comes to us from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he resides with his family.

He has been pastor of the Fleischmann Memorial Something To * Think About BOB WILLIAMS! PLAIN TALK TO CHILDREN In speaking with children about death, It Is Imperative to use plain talk. It Is still possible that a child may not understand all that you ore saying, but you must at least give him or her a chance. Take care with your words. Whether you are a ware of It or not, In everyday speech wo all use words or expressions which are Indecipherable to children. Talking about death Is dollnltoly a time you want to avoid this. You should also try to avoid using ouphomlsms. Such expressions as "passed away," "laid to rost," "mot his Maker" aro only confusing to children, who lako ' language qulto morally. If a dead person Is said to bo "resting," the child may think that all people who are resting aro dead. II a loved one Is said to be "asleep," the child may develop a tremendous sloop problem. Bo careful about what you say and tho words you use to say It. Then ask tho child to toll you what you said In his own words, Just to bo sure tho message was understood.
