============================================================
IRISH RECORDS INDEX, 1500-1920
After the fire at the Dublin Record Office in 1922, the government appealed
for Irish residents to donate any copies of records they possessed. This
appeal yielded a large and widely varied collection of information that the
Family History Library in Salt Lake City microfilmed in the 1960s. This
database is an index to these records now in possession of the Library.
Each entry reveals the person's name, date of record, and residence in
Ireland. More importantly, the microfilm, box, and item numbers are
provided to aid the researcher in obtaining a copy of the original record.
These records include histories, pedigrees, parish registers, probates, and
orphan's court records. For those seeking Irish ancestors, this index can
be a tremendous aid.

COLE COUNTY, MISSOURI OBITUARIES, 1871-1899
Created in 1820 as one of the earliest divisions in the territory, Cole
County, Missouri is located in central Missouri where the Missouri and
Osage Rivers converge. This database is a collection of obituaries taken
from the "Daily Tribune," between 1871 and 1899. In addition to providing
the decedent's name and date of death, it reveals the person's age or date
of birth. This newspaper was published in the county seat of Jefferson
City, and as with many rural newspapers, includes the names of people who
lived in surrounding counties, making this a valuable source of information
regarding Missouri residents. It contains nearly 4,700 names. For those
seeking Missouri ancestors, this can be a helpful collection.

MIDWEST PIONEERS: WISCONSIN HISTORICAL SOCIETY, VOL. 30
As one of the most important historical societies in the Midwest, the
Wisconsin State Historical Society has preserved helpful documents from the
region since the nineteenth century. This database is a collection of
academic papers presented around the turn of the century. It provides
important information regarding the Native Americans of the area, railroad
expansion, and forts around Detroit and Green Bay. Additionally, it
provides facts and figures about the fur trading industry. For researchers
of Wisconsin ancestors, this database can illuminate historical aspects of
the area not commonly known.

___________________________________________________________________
Depend on it: you will get stuck. Ancestors, ancient clerks, and even
computer-assisted indexers of the 1990s have misled every one of us through
outright lies, oversight, fatigue, etc. Not only that, we have misled
ourselves, perhaps by failing to check the base information, or by jumping
to hasty conclusions.
Where the problem is a particularly thorny one, develop some sort of
process for diagrammatically and verbally presenting it, one that also
suggests a means to a solution. Be sure the problem is clearly defined and
segments of charts place it visually in context. Once you have identified
the quarry and the parameters (of date and area), it is time to review the
six questions itemized below about each one in turn. Keep these questions
handy, and you will always be able to plan a strategy. This approach does
not guarantee a solution at the end, but it does provide a common-sense
method that will insure that you have done all you can.
1. What time period does the record cover?
2. What geographical area does the record cover?
3. How is the record organized?
4. What information is needed to access the record?
5. What new information will the record supply?
6. Are there finding aids for the record, and where and how can the record
be consulted?
Tables 11-1 and 11-2 (at the end of this article) list roadblocks and
solutions. Every genealogical puzzle can be reduced to one or more of these
basic generic elements. Once that has been done, you can select possible
sources and test their usefulness by applying the questions above.
Problem solving will improve as knowledge and experience grow.
Nevertheless, in some instances, only tedious, plodding work offers any
hope of producing an answer. Be sure that you have tried all possible short
cuts, and that all the facts are gathered and weighed for accuracy. It is
sometimes necessary to hypothesize, to assume that one situation was the
case and follow through the research on that basis. If it is proven
incorrect, the gain is that something has been eliminated, and another
theory can be tested.
This is where the concept of reconstruction may come into play. Throughout
this book, I have drawn your attention to the importance of the historical
and geographical context of the research you are undertaking. Family
history is, to some degree, local history; it cannot be studied in
isolation from the wider world. If you confine your efforts to the
extraction of facts, the results will be deficient, and they may miss the
mark. Family history research must incorporate ingenuity and the skillful
posing of questions about people, places, and their socio-economic context.
Reconstruction of the lives of our ancestors, and of their surroundings, is
immensely interesting, satisfying, and potentially rewarding for further
research.
"A genealogy is only a skeleton, and the most interesting part of the
family historical work is to paint in the flesh and to catch the breath of
the spirit . . . much can be achieved, particularly in the study of
ancestors by proxy, as it were. Thus if one's forebear was a weaver living
in Glasgow, one can illuminate his existence through a general study of the
life of weavers or of Glasgow at that time, even though one has no direct
historical references to the ancestor concerned. In this sense, the family
historian is also a local historian, able to point to the buildings and
institutions in his or her town and to tell a story of the lives and
aspirations of those who build them, lived in them and worked in them."
(Moody, David. "Scottish Family History," London: B.T. Batsford, 1988.
Reprint. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1990.)
Meeting the challenge to formulate a research strategy that identifies the
necessary records and recognizes the potential of ancillary historical or
geographical material is one aspect of family history that keeps us
interested. Another aspect is the lucky break.
There are lots of wonderful stories about lucky breaks or inspired guesses
and almost spooky visions or impulses which have led researchers to
solutions. For everyone who believes that there is a logical explanation
for everything, a saying of the ancient Persians may have some appeal:
"Luck is infatuated with the efficient." This ties in rather neatly with
the idea that you are the instrument of your own fortune (or misfortune),
that you make your own luck. Put lots of entries in a surname index, browse
libraries every chance you get, talk to your family, follow up on any new
leads. People who do these things create their own lucky breaks.
You can post your problem for hundreds, thousands, or more people to see.
There are club query pages, surname directories, and the Internet. Personal
preference will determine how much you use these vehicles of exchange. Like
me, you may follow the "has it been done before?" routine, and then move on
to research, or you may chat by letter, fax, phone, or computer to others,
turning up tips and answers. If you choose the latter be sure to verify
anything for which you have not received a definite source reference.
There is, ultimately, the matter of proof, or the establishment of the
existence or nonexistence of a fact. When you receive information from
another person, critically examine its validity. Have you been given
sources, and can you verify some of the facts yourself? There is no doubt
that many errors are spread quite innocently and shared through a genuine
desire to be helpful; nonetheless, they are errors. Repetition will not
make them true. There is an excellent discussion of the subject of evidence
including at what point, in the absence of absolute proof, evidence can be
assumed to support a conclusion. The article is in the "National
Genealogical Society Quarterly," and is titled 'What is the Preponderance
of the Evidence?' (Rose, 1995)
I want to leave you with one final reminder. You can never know too much
about the records you may use in your search. The quest for knowledge of
what records exist should be ongoing. Do not confine your inquisitiveness
to only the standard genealogical records. Look beyond to what local,
economic, political, and social historians have used. Discover where
records are kept, where copies may be found, and in what format. Maintain a
file or database of possible sources for future use, especially when the
inevitable conundrum arises. Extensive knowledge of source material will
keep you in the driver's seat, whether you are planning your own activities
or directing an agent. In the end, diversity of sources will create a
broader picture. Your family history will be more than a flat,
two-dimensional chart; it will have an added vitality. You will have put
life into history.
___________________________________________________________________
TABLE 11-1. ROADBLOCKS
For each roadblock, use the solutions suggested to design your strategy.
1. The basic information you are working from may be inaccurate. [Solutions
B, C, H, J, K]
2. You may not have gathered enough of or the right kind of information for
the record. [Solutions H, J, K, L]
3. There may be a gap in the records for the particular time and place.
(The records may have been damaged or destroyed, may not have been kept for
a time, or may be in private hands. [Solutions A, E, I]
4. No listing has been found in the index or finding aid, although you are
certain one must be there (could be due to human error in indexing).
[Solutions A, F, G, I]
5. A search of a record has produced no result, although many other
indicators suggest the anticipated entry should be there (may be due to
hurried searching, a forgetful minister at the time, deliberate failure to
report an event, tax avoidance). [Solutions A, D, E, F, I, N]
6. Your research has turned up several possible solutions. [Solutions I, J,
K, L, M, N]
7. The scale of the search may be too large (too many years to cover, too
large an area, too common a name, or a combination of these). [Solutions D,
I, L, N]
8. There may be a technical problem involving language, handwriting, or
organization (e.g., only chronological, not completely alphabetical, or
haphazard geographical arrangement). [Solutions D, N, O]
___________________________________________________________________
TABLE 11-2. SOLUTIONS
A. Check the alternate sources that provide similar information.
B. Expand the geographical area of your search, paying close attention to
boundaries.
C. Expand the time span of your search.
D. Check that all indexes and finding aids have been identified and
checked.
E. Examine another copy of the same source in a different location.
F. Repeat the search.
G. Go directly to the record.
H. Double-check your base information.
I. Carry out the same search for a sibling or other close relative.
J. Try to supplement your base of information through additional sources.
K. Improve your historical and geographical background knowledge. Clues
found may suggest a different line of inquiry
L. Create a hypothesis and work through it. You may have to do this more
than once.
M. Trace downward from all possible solutions.
N. Check books and periodicals for case studies and talk to other
researchers.
O. Hire a professional researcher.

ANCESTRY QUICK TIP
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
============================================================
Use census records as an important and first tool for locating other
Records--i.e.: birth, marriage, death records; land records, immigration
records, court records, military records, etc. Census indexes that are
available for almost every census from 1790 to 1920 are often used as the
starting place for beginning family historians because they have the
potential to show where an individual or family was living at a given time.
Ancestry.com members can search AIS Census Indexes online at:

If you have a tip that you would like to share with other researchers, send
it to:
mailto:editor@ancestry-inc.com

Hello,
I have a Levi Delbert Cochran b. 3/4/1891 d. 6/25/1936.
Looking for his parents. Other siblings were: Esther, Will (William) Lib (Elizabeth), Til (Matilda), Sadie (Sarah??), Rob (Robert, d. young). All were from Boggs Township, Armstrong County, Pa. Levi Delbert was born in Templeton, Pa., had a farm nearby, also mined coal, limestone.
His mother may have been a Lowry, d. abt. 1898(she died when he was 6-7). Levi's father d. abt. 1908, He too had a farm in Boggs Twnshp. I believe he is a relative of other Cochrans, Boggs Twnshp. Need to know the parents, grandparents names. Any help would be appreciated.

Great search engine for WAR OF 1812! It has my MCVOY family listed
as MCBOY and they had a militia company named for them in MS.
It was the 14th REGIMENT, MCBOY'S MISSISSIPPI MILITIA and both
DIEGO MCVOY(MCBOY) and his brother GUILLERMO/WILLIAM MCVOY (MCBOY)
served in the War of 1812 in this unit!

can find it on Sierra Home's website.) Bonnie
