The Genealogy Gems Podcast with Lisa Louise Cooke - Your Family History Show
Do you have enough time to work on your family history the way you would like to? How about taking on someone else's family history? In this episode I've invited someone who has jumped over his own family history to diligently working on a perfect strangers…or did he jump over it? It's a very interesting story! We'll also be talking later about coping and in fact excelling even in the face of technological change. I'm home for a week before I head back out on the road. And the next stop is Naperville Illinois and the Fox Valley Genealogical Society where I'll be presenting a full day seminar on Sept. 27, 2014. The following week I'll be at the Pima County Genealogical Society in Tucson AZ and then in October the Heritage Quest Library in Sumner Washington. I hope you'll check out my full schedule at and perhaps join me at one of the upcoming events.

Silver Surfers: Internet Use by Older AdultsWe reported on a very interesting infographic recently on the Genealogy Gems blog called Interesting Stats: In 2012 Baby Boomers aged 47-65 spent an average of 27 hours a week on the Internet Of the seniors that are online, one in three are using social media. A big change from just back in 2009 when only 13% of seniors online were using social media. In fact 1 in 5 Twitter users are over 50 49% of online seniors have a Facebook account Seniors aren't just socializing, they are shopping too. 59% of seniors online have made a purchase online in the last 3 months Here's what you had to say on the : From Sheri: "Lisa, My sister and I met you at RootsTech this year. We're already planning next year's trip! I read the article about silver surfers and just wanted to say that when I was a kid (Fairbanks, Alaska) we had party-line phones, one TV station! My mother wrote letters to her family in Idaho regularly and long distance phone calls were very rare! I'm a baby boomer and have always been interested in technology. I do most research online with Ancestry, Fold3, FamilySearch, etc. I haven't jumped into the blogging pool but who knows! I'm currently starting to work on suggestions from your Google Earth CDs, putting together family tours. Love your podcasts. You are my favorite "source". Sheri" From Diane: "Thanks for the article about the silver surfers. I saw you when you spoke to the San Diego Genealogical Society and learned a lot. I am a major social media user. I am on many FB groups, use Twitter, Pinterest and have my own genealogy blog. I am a baby boomer. Party lines were in use when I was a kid and for parts of my growing up our household didn't even have a phone. Here is a link to ." From Sandee: "When I was a kid, we communicated mostly by letter -- which soon fell by the wayside because they took so long to write, were full of scribble-outs and add-ins, and had a long turnaround time. Phone calls were for really important stuff and emergencies. When I went to college, my parents gave me a tape recorder and several REELS of tape so I could send oral "letters" home (which I don't think I ever did). My dad read the Dick Tracy comic strip and said that someday we really would have wrist-worn telephones and would be able to see each other as well as talk. In spite of all the complaints about constant contact via cell phones and text messages and emails, modern-day communication seems to foster friendships." Check out Candace says: "When I was young we had a party line with 8 families. We weren't supposed to listen in to other conversations, but we all knew which ring indicated the best news." Candace's memories remind me of the Andy Griffith show! From Lynn: "You asked about seniors and 'net usage. I mostly use e-mail and delight in being able to stay in touch on a daily basis with my 94 year old cousin in Michigan. She is the only person in her assisted living facility with a computer.” Thank you to our sponsors: MAILBOX: Natalie in TX has success with one of Lisa's Tips: “I attended your 3 classes this past weekend at the Houston Genealogical Forum and I really enjoyed them as I do all of your classes. I have done a lot of work already on newspapers for about 20 years with interlibrary loan and traveling to libraries and newspaper offices out of town. My small towns' newspapers so far have hardly shown up online but slowly that is changing. So when I finished your class I used some of your Google search tips on some newspaper sites. Some things worked, others didn't but one thing I'm glad you mentioned was do not overlook was if a hit came up on a newer date, not to overlook it. I went to the Old Fulton Postcards website and he mainly has New York newspapers on his site but he also has The Rogersview Review from Rogersville, Tennessee. So I found several hits on that site but the one I wanted to tell you about was I was looking for my 3Great Grandfather Williamson Tucker and there were a few hits but one was in 1995 and the other was in 2001. So I clicked on the 1995 article and it was a picture of New Hope Baptist Church and the first two sentences said "New Hope Missionary Baptist Church was established in 1833. It was given in a land grant by Williamson Tucker in memory of William C. Bailey." Then the 2001 issue which was a listing for Hawkins County churches and had New Hope on it, and it gave a little more info that William Bailey gave land to the church but never made a deed for it. He then died and then my ancestor Williamson Tucker acquired the land from the Baileys and then deeded it to the church. Wow, I did not know that, and I probably would have skipped over those two hits because they were so late dated. So thank you for the tip! I've been writing a paper on my grandfather the Rev. Ellis Birl McLain who was a Methodist minister who lived in many places and so far I have found him in 15 different newspapers in six states so I really do know the importance of searching newspapers.” Linda from South Australia writes in about Dealing with Chaos: “I just read your advice on ‘dealing with the chaos' (a problem that has been tormenting me for ages) and a very bright light went on in my head when I read your suggestion for using Evernote to store things for future research. I use MS OneNote to store some of my loose bits of genealogy info, but I haven't organized them well. I'll use your tip – the simple idea of having a ‘future research' section for each family makes me feel better already! The harder part will be putting something in there, leaving it for later, and then going back to what I was looking for in the first place – I'm easily distracted! Especially when someone I'm NOT looking for turns out to be more interesting than the one I AM looking for.” Del in California has been busy using Google Earth for Genealogy: “I finally got around to watching the Google Earth video CD I purchased from you last January when you were here. I have been doing the map overlays, which is really a neat feature…It served a practical use, as I have a plat map of the whole of Bent County, Colorado upon which I have marked all the locations where we own mineral rights (passed down from my grandfather). I can then use the transparency feature to compare the holdings with the actual topography. I also have overlaid plat maps of various ancestors who had original land patents in Indiana, Colorado, and Ohio. A couple of the ancestors donated land for cemeteries, which I have visited and are visible on Google Earth and marked on the overlay maps. Fun stuff…would not have been able to actually make it work without the CD.” book GEM: Project Lizzie – An Interview with Ron PloofWe're all working on our own family tree, but have you ever considered working on someone elses? Someone you've never met and you don't know their descendants? Storyteller Ron Ploof is here to share how and why he took on such an endeavor, and some of his successes and challenges along the way which he is documenting on his new website Project Lizzie at In this interview we head back to 1976 when Ron was 13 years old, and helping his uncle who had just bought a house in Massachusetts. Exploring as 13 year olds do, Ron found something intriguing in the attic of that house – a stack of 99 postcards tucked away. He's held onto them for the past 38 years. Ron was always fascinated with the pictures on the front of the cards, but in 2012, he started studying the stories on their backs. And that's when he could see that 86 of them were addressed to a Mrs. Lizzie Milligan and postmarked between 1904 and 1925. He has spent the past year-and-a-half trying to learn as much about her, including a trip from California to Massachusetts to find her gravesite. Ton started publishing Lizzie's story online in February of this year. Ron has asked his readers to join in the hunt, which begs the question: Why should his readers care? It's a very important question, because we all have had a non-genealogist relative ask us the question: Why should I care? Even when they are related to the person! If we can share the why, we can more successfully share the journey. 2/24/18 UPDATE: Read the final installment on Profile America — Wednesday, September 17th On this date in 1787, the Constitutional Convention wrapped up in Philadelphia with the delegates accepting the document and sending it on to the states for ratification. Less than two years later, the new U.S. government had to take out a loan. This week in 1789, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton was in negotiations to borrow nearly $192,000 from the Bank of New York and the Bank of North America. The money was needed to pay the salaries of President Washington and the members of the first Congress. The loan was obtained in February 1790 and paid off in June. Today, the president's salary is $400,000 a year — more than twice the amount of the first loan — and the debt of the 50 united state governments is around $1.15 trillion. Sources: Kane's Famous First Facts, 1104, 3804 Coping and Exceling through Techological Change Recently I was teaching an online class, and one of the students was stumped because the class materials said to use the Advanced search link on Google.com and it wasn't there. She stopped worked and posted that she couldn't do it because the link wasn't there. This is a perfect example that we really need to cultivate our problem solving skills in today's constantly changing online environment. I totally get that it can be frustrating to visit a familiar website or refer to something in a book (or a class!) and find that things are not as they used to be. In this case, Google removed the "Advanced Search" link from the Web Search and Image Search home pages. And I've had situations where I went to teach an iPad class, and the night before a new operating system was released changing practically everything! However, if we come to expect change then we won't have to be quite so surprised and frustrated when we run into it. And of course in most cases that change is really an attempt by the website to improve and evolve, although that can seem debatable when it's something you enjoy or depend on. When you run up against change, you are better equipped than most to deal with it. As Genealogists the sleuthing skills we have honed become our greatest assets! The quickest way to determine what's going on when something changes online (which again can happen nearly every day) is to just "Google It!" After reading the student's message, that's exactly what I did, because I didn't have the answer on the top of my head either. So I went to Google.com and searched on: google advanced search no longer on home page. The results quickly led me to the answer: At both the Image Search page (google.com/imghp) and the Web search page (www.google.com) the Advanced Search has been moved to "Settings." Simply click "Settings" in the bottom right corner and you will find "Advanced Search" there as one of the options. The good news is that chances are, if we've noticed a change, others are already talking about it online, and often will have already shared the answer. "Googling it" is often the easiest way to determine what's going on, so that you can get on with your family history work. So until we meet here again, get on with your family history work!

DDV's Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-)Calendar is a daily listing of events in history until this day. It was first published in 1985. It involves no audio, but for your pleasure we include a video from a 1985 sculpture by DDV. "Carruga" was a large sculpture for the "Automobiënnale>" at the Middelheim Open Air Museum in Antwerpen. It was first used in a basic version for a performance during AMVK's 1983 exhibition "Hoeren en Profeten". For the Middelheim exhibition a large metal cage was added, and a real Deutz diesel truck engine was captured inside. During the 100 days of the exhibition, the engine was left running in the otherwise quiet park. After the exhibition several attempts were made to find a definitive spot for the sculpture but all of these failed. In the end DDV ripped the metal cage to pieces in the late 1980's. When the initial Club Moral premises were abandoned in 1993, "Carruga" finally ended in the trash. All that remains is a short VHS video movie with noise soundtrack by DDV. Every page of the first edition of the Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-)Calendar listed 7 days and one picture. There was a reviewed copy of the Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-)Calendar in 1987 and an update with new entries only in 1988. The 1989 edition of the Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-)Calendar was an 'all-memorials' issue, listing only events that happened 5, 10, 25, 50, 100,.... years ago. The 1990 edition of the Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-)Calendar listed only events about 90 killers and was subtitled "90 Killers for the 90s". The 1991 edition of the Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-)Calendar listed only events about artists, musicians, writers and filmmakers. The 1992 -and last- edition was an index and listed all names and the days they appeared until then in the Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-)Calendar. Today the Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-)Calendar is a huge database file with 8817 entries about 5511 people; 2405 births, 1998 facts and 4414 deaths. The database has been used in 1998 by V2 to build an 'unreliable website' for their "DEAF" festival, subtitled "The Art of the Accident". The Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-)Calendar has been available throughout 2007 as a daily blog on When I was Buying You a Drink with additional photos taken by DDV in the past eight years. Between 1999 and 2007 DDV has taken over 25.000 pictures with various digital cameras. On this blog he posted one picture every day, taken on that specific day in a random year between 1999 and 2007, as well as a listing of all the events for that day. You can search the Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-)Calendar blog for a certain day by using the "Blog Archive" on the right hand side of the page, or you can search for a name, a place or whatever by using the search box on the top left of the page and clicking "Blog Search". The Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-)Calendar blog will not be updated and remains on the Blogspot system "as is". The title from the blog was taken from a song by the Mekons, "When I Was Buying You a Drink Where Were You ?"
収録した日は雨でした。 iPod shuffleからはいつもよりジャズナンバーが多め。ちょっと良い感じでしたが、聴きたいCDがあったのでCDウォークマンでCDも聴いてました。パールジャムのブート。 iTunesで聴くとアルバムのアートワークが表示されますが、そこに写真を入れてみました。どうでしょう。 BGM : 白日の明日へ / BURNT SIENNA TRANCE SOUND : 雨とバス / BURNT SIENNA TRANCE 雨に聴いた曲 iPod shuffleからは、自分のiTunesからのジャズナンバーも多かったのですが、ジャズのポッドキャストの番組も聴いてました。 ThePodcastNetwork :: The Jazz Show ? Blog Archive ? The Jazz Show - episode 2 1時間近くあったので、かなり聴きごたえはありました。まどろんでしまいました。英語なんで何を話しているかは分かんなかったんですけどね。 かけた曲なんかもサイトには紹介してあって良い番組ですね。PodcastTunerに登録しました。 iTunesには持っているCDをすべて取り込んでいるわけじゃない。例えばライブ盤なんかは全然入れていない。同じくブートレグなんかも入れていない。 ふと、パールジャムのブートが聴きたくなって聴いていました。CDウォークマンで。あたりまえですが、圧縮したMP3ファイルの音楽よりも音が良いですね。 デジタル携帯音楽プレーヤーの利用率 前回の放送でも、ぜひ外でポッドキャストを聴いて欲しいと言いながら、携帯のMP3プレーヤーがなければ外に簡単に持っていけないので、普及率が気になった。 OSも新しいものじゃないとiTunesが使えなかったりして、MP3プレーヤーへの転送の手間が簡単じゃないかもしれない。とはいえ、やはり携帯MP3プレーヤーがなかれば持っていきたくても出来ない。 昨年12月のある調査 携帯デジタルオーディオプレイヤーでは9割近くがその存在を知っているのに対し、利用者はわずか4.5%にとどまっていることが明らかになった携帯デジタルオーディオプレイヤーの利用率は4.5%--民間調査 - CNET Japan たった4.5%。 この後、2005年に入り、iPod shuffleが登場しているので、フラッシュメモリータイプの携帯音楽プレーヤーの需要は増えているものとは思われる。 僕自身、iPod shuffleが登場するまでフラッシュメモリータイプには興味は無かったのだが、そういう人も多いんじゃないだろうか。とはいえ、まだまだ1割にも充たないんだろうとは思われる。 ネット上にいると、流行っているように思ってしまうが、実際はそんなもんだ。まだまだ一部の人間で盛り上がっているだけか。 ただ、iPod shuffleの影響で、他社もフラッシュメモリータイプの携帯音楽プレーヤーの値下げなんかをしてきている。これから市場が伸びることは間違いないだろう。それに伴ってポッドキャストも広まるかな。 今後については「利用したい」が52.9%と半数を超えており、特に若い年齢層ほど利用意向が高い結果となった。携帯デジタルオーディオプレイヤーの利用率は4.5%--民間調査 - CNET Japan あとは、iTunes Music Storeの登場が待たれる。 MP3携帯電話に期待 ただ、MP3プレーヤーが安くなってきているとはいえ、まだ誰でも簡単に買えるものじゃない。 ふと、普及率はもの凄い携帯電話でもM3再生可能なものが登場するというニュースがあったのを思い出した。 Sony Ericssonは来月初旬、音楽プレーヤー付き携帯を「ウォークマン」ブランドで投入する。MP3やAACなどオープン形式のファイルが再生できる。(IDG)ITmediaニュース:「ウォークマン」ブランドのMP3携帯電話登場へ MP3プレーヤーよりもこっちの普及のほうが早いかもしれない。 いっそ、録音した声をMP3ファイルで保存するボイスレコーダーの機能と、メモリカードでパソコンに転送できるようにして、MP3再生も出来るというポッドキャスト対応携帯電話なんて登場したら面白いのに。
