SESSION 1: 10:00 AM
Fact Checking Your Family Traditions
Some families are lucky, they have “family
lore”. But is this story true? With new online collections we can now
double check to see how it holds up to the light of some original
records. Only then will you know if it’s a keeper or just fools gold. A case study of colonial Virginia entrepreneur Isaac Perkins/Parkins.

Session 2: 11:30 AM
Using Hinshaw and Other Finding Aids to Locate Original Quaker Records
During the
past century, Quaker historians and clerks have been busy copying old
meeting records and have created a wide variety of finding aids. In the
1930s, Willard W. Hinshaw began publishing six volumes of his historic Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy, with
Willard C. Heiss following with six volumes for just Indiana. We will
learn how these tools can shortcut your search for original Quaker
records.
$ 20.00 per session members
$ 25.00 per session non-members

SGS Members, please attend the spring membership meeting on Saturday, March 14, 2020, 12:30 pm – 1:00 pm, and meet the nominees for the Board of Directors and Officers. At the meeting, nominations from the floor will be allowed provided the person nominated is present at the meeting.
The meeting will be held at the SGS Library, 6200 Sand Point Way NE, Seattle, WA 98115. Immediately following the meeting, Lori Lee Sauber will give her Second Saturday Series presentation, “Do You Trello and Kanban?”.
WOMEN’S SUFFRAGE IN YOUR FAMILY HISTORY WRITER’S CORNER! Each month throughout 2020 we will share women’s stories from 100 or more years ago, including brick walls that elude even the most diligent genealogist. Stories might be brief – one or two paragraphs – or longer – and will appear on our web site: https://seagensoc.org/. Finding female ancestors can be challenging, especially if they lived before accurate vital records were kept. Women with unknown parentage present an additional hurdle to the genealogist. Hopefully, our project will help you discover the stories of your own female ancestors. And that you will enjoy reading the stories of others.
RESULTS OF THE LIBRARY SURVEY FROM THE LIBRARY TRUSTEES – by Sue Jensen Thank you to everyone who took the time to answer our questions in the recent Survey. The number of responses was low, but we received some very good suggestions about resources for the Library. Some of the things that you were interested in we already have in the Library including:
Complete
subscriptions to Ancestry.com, Newspapers.com, Fold3.com,
AmericanAncestors.com (New England), and Czech Genealogical Society.
These you can search for free, but they must be accessed on our patron
computers in the Library.
An
Affiliate designation from FamilySearch.org allowing you to access
locked documents by using our computers or your own in our facility.
A large Mayflower and Colonial Section of books and periodicals.
Seattle City Directories covering the years from 1890 to 1993.
A designated section of books for DNA research.
Two large map boxes containing maps of genealogical interest.
Through
a generous corporate donation, we recently acquired newer workstations
and replacement chairs. This allows us to provide more working area for
our patrons around the computers. New lighting in the computer area is
scheduled as well.
For those that inquired about additional databases, thank you, but unfortunately, they are cost prohibitive:
JSTOR: the initial fee is $1,500 and the ongoing annual fee is $600 to $1,000 per subject category.
MyHeritage Library Edition is $1,600 annually.
Genealogy Bank: Seattle Public Library has this available. Use your Seattle Public Library Account to access this online.
WorldCat: also expensive and needs extensive re-numbering of our 15,000 volumes.
FindMyPast:
is $995 annually and does not include British and Irish Newspapers or
the Living Relatives database (UK electoral records).
The
Seattle Genealogical Society is almost 100 years young and has been an
all-volunteer, donation-based society for the entire time. A large
portion of our library collection is from donations, so we have many
areas that have interested our members over the years. We try to add to
the collection the items that appeal to our membership, although we
focus on Seattle, King County, Washington state, and the Pacific
Northwest: Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska. We will be announcing any
new acquisitions to the Library in the eNews! on a monthly basis
beginning this month, so please look for it.
Thank you again for your help:

IMPORTANT UPDATE FROM SGS PRESIDENT CALL TO ACTION: SAVE OUR NARA!
We need your help and it takes just a few minutes to make a difference.
This week the Public Buildings Reform Board (PBRB) voted to sell the
NARA-Seattle building located on Sand Point Way. (For the complete
report, see PBRB at https://www.pbrb.gov.
The records at NARA-Seattle are primarily for the states of Washington,
Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. They are PNW records and need to be accessible
to PNW researchers.
We and our Attorney General and AGs of other affected states recognized
that the process was flawed: the comment time was not of a mandated
length, inspections were conducted “on the sly” and the Board voted
before the comment period was completed. This is a legal matter and is
being handled at that level.
Here is what you can do…
The strategy has now shifted from keeping the Northwest records at the
Sand Point facility to keeping them in the Puget Sound area. There are
several reasons for this:
It is important that the documents of the Northwest stay in the Northwest;
When
the Alaskan records held by the NA were moved to Seattle just a few
years ago, a promise was made to the Tribes that these records would not
move out of Seattle.
Riverside,
one of the suggested archive facilities to perhaps house the PNW
records, would require renovation and expansion. That money could
instead be invested in the Puget Sound area.
Although
moving out of Seattle to a less expensive area within the Puget Sound
region is a justifiable strategic move, the records need to stay in the
PNW.
The
expertise is here –staff and volunteers –for the unique record sets
housed at NA-Seattle. There would be a steep learning curve of other
facilities’ staff.
Geographic
equity of the records of the archives would be disrupted if the
documents were moved outside the region, forcing researchers in the area
to travel long distances to access the records.
Records
of the PNW would be unavailable for years if this move takes place,
making researchers, academics and genealogists without the ability to
access records.
It
is a myth that all records are or can be digitized. Records are being
digitized as quickly as possible, but it takes time, money, and staff to
do this overwhelming job. In addition, archivists add important
metadata to enable researchers to find the material they are seeking.
Digitization is a goal, but it is far from reality and the addition of
the metadata is even more problematic due to staffing concerns.
The Society is doing its part and it urges you to contact the
individuals below to express your concern, and perhaps outrage,
concerning this move of this valuable resource.
Feliks Banel originally broke the news about the closure on KIRO 97.3 FM
and has been posting updates on MyNorthwest.com and Facebook. He is
also the editor for Columbia Magazine for the Washington State
Historical Society. You might want to follow his blog or his Facebook
page. He is working on a story based on an interview with Bob Ferguson
that may come out before this memo reaches you.
SGS member Trish Hackett Nicola has been instrumental in coordinating
efforts with agencies and other interested parties. Thank you, Trish.
If you have already contacted these governmental agencies and
individuals—do it again! We know that it is the “weight” of the
communications, not the discrete number of individuals. If you belong to
other groups that should weigh in and haven’t, please pass this
communication on to them.
Thank you for your support.

GFO Objects to Closure of National Archives Seattle
This
week we were startled to learn that a secret plan to close The National
Archives at Seattle is nearly a done deal. This facility provides
access to permanent records created by Federal agencies and courts in
Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Idaho. Without the reporting of KIRO
radio in Seattle, no one would have known this closure was in the works.
Courtesy of The National Archives at Seattle
Despite
the lack of any public comment period, the GFO sent the following email
to Russell Vought, the acting director of the Office and Management and
Budget: Dear Mr. Vought,I
am writing on behalf of the Board of Directors and the 1075 members of
the Genealogical Forum of Oregon to register our strong objections to
the planned closure of Seattle’s National Archives facility.The
decision to close this federal repository of public records was made in
complete secrecy, with no input from the public or any other government
entities in the region. No local hearings or requests for feedback were
held in Washington, nor in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, or Oregon.The
Seattle National Archives and Records Center holds records, mostly
un-digitized, starting in the 1840s for the five NW states. These
records are vital public documents for anyone researching American
history.No
consideration of the importance of maintaining archival resources in
the Pacific was made. The National Archives goals do not appear to
include keeping local resources close to their origin and where most use
will occur. We must ask, “Why not?”It
is vital these record are kept in our region and remain accessible.
Transferring records relevant to the Pacific Northwest to a records
center in Kansas City, Missouri, effectively bars access to those to
whom the records are most relevant.We
urge you to keep Northwest records where they will be most used, and to
keep the expert archives staff who specialize in Pacific Northwest
records.Vince Patton President, Genealogical Forum of Oregon

conversations about unexpected DNA results. If you register now, the
cost for GFO members for this full day is just $45 and for non-members,
$50. The
Sunday half-day classes on April 5 will be held at the GFO from 9:30
a.m. – Noon. Deepen and expand your intermediate- to advanced-level
skills as Karen presents more complex genealogy puzzles requiring more
complex DNA evidence analysis. Early registration price for this

Take advantage of those Early-Bird Registration prices! On March 1, all prices will increase by $5. This is a great opportunity to learn more about solving those genealogy puzzles with the use of DNA.
Spreadsheets
can be a powerful tool to help you analyze your genealogical data and
keepi track of your research; and they are essential in managing your
DNA information.
From
9:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 23, join BCG Certified
Genealogist, Mary Kircher Roddy, as she presents a hands-on guide for
the experienced spreadsheet user using Excel to gain perspective on and to further your genealogy research. For a more complete description, download the seminar flyer. Seating is limited to 30 people! Everyone gets a spot at a table. Participants should bring their (fully charged) laptops pre-loaded with Excel. Mary is an active member of Seattle Genealogical Society, the Genealogical Speakers Guild, the Association of Professional Genealogists, and the National Genealogical Society. She has published articles in Family Chronicle, Internet Genealogy, and the National Genealogical Society Quarterly. For
Early-Bird Registration on or before Jan. 31, the fee is $30.00 for GFO
Members and $35.00 for non-members. You’ve got one more week before the
price increases $5 on Feb. 1.
This month, the GFO Board is proud to select four
volunteers as our GFO Stars of January. Cat Cope-Arnold, Anita
Lustenberger, Bonnie Randolph, and Ruth Summers have contributed
hundreds of hours over several years to help with one goal—creating
digital files from 350,000 pages of donated personal papers collected by
the GFO.
Top left, clockwise: Anita Lustenberger, Cat Cope-Arnold, Bonnie Randolph, and Ruth Summers
They sort, remove staples, unfold, and scan these papers so that one researcher’s life work can be available to others. Because of their dedication, there is an end in sight for this project! Thank you Anita, Bonnie, Cat, and Ruth!
Needed: Volunteers with Adobe Acrobat Pro Software
We need help to process our scanned periodicals! Sunday
work parties have been lively, with volunteers prepping and scanning
GFO’s periodicals collection while chatting about all things genealogy. To
keep up with the steady stream of material, we need more people to help
with the computer processing. Using Adobe Acrobat Pro, the scans are
combined, reviewed for problems, and text recognition processing is
done. If you have the software needed and can help, please contact
Laurel Smith at library@gfo.org.

Do you have Colorado roots? There’s a very good bet your people are mentioned in this book. Colorado Families: A Territorial Heritage includes 40,000 individuals in its 735 page. This is a big work of history. The
Colorado Genealogical Society encouraged everyone with ancestors
settling in Colorado before January 1, 1877, to submit information. This book says, “Every pioneer was eligible, regardless of race, creed, nationality or ghost
in the family closet. Never has a Colorado history book included so many people – some 40,000 individuals.” They also add that they “made special efforts to recruit minority histories.”Colorado Families was published in 1981.

Survey Results: You and the Family History Library
Forty-seven people responded to our survey about the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. Of those, 66% reported having gone to the library to do research, and 100% of those said it was worth the trip! When
asked if being unable to order microfilms would increase or decrease
likelihood of a visit, most respondents said it made no difference. And
all the digitized microfilms available through FamilySearch didn’t make a
difference either. So
it seems that most of us are hooked on the Family History Library. Here
are some of the tips we received to help you plan your visit***:
Consult articles on prepping for your visit at FamilySearch and at FamilyTree Magazine.Organize.
Prepare ahead. Have your research problem outlined clearly before you
go, make a research list, and check the library catalog to be sure that
you put in an advanced request for books and microfilm you want to see
that are not on the shelves or in the building.
Once
at the archives, stick to working on your research goals and don’t
allow yourself to get distracted by other books or materials. Have
options and alternatives – a Plan B – if your initial plan doesn’t work
out.Before
you go, use their catalog to make a list of what is only available at
the library for research. Then organize by type of records and focus on
that type until completed. Don’t spend a lot of time reading. Take a
flash drive and save what you find. If the item is an original document
make a photocopy. Verify that the items are saving to the flash drive.Take
only photocopies of important documents you might want to reference or,
better yet, scan them and have them on your thumb drive. Label your
thumb drive with your address and phone number should you leave it at a
work station or in a computer. Put a clearly named file on the drive
with your contact information.
Be
sure to visit the first floor you can now print a free big color fan
chart from your FamilySearch tree. It’s nine generations and a big help
in seeing where you need to concentrate your efforts. Go have fun.If you don’t feel satisfied with the first person who assists you, ask someone else. Everyone there is very friendly.Build
in time in case you need to go the Utah State Archives. Particularly
for divorce records in the early 1870s as UT was a divorce mecca with
some done via mail.Allow
as many days as possible, [as well as] time to eat. Look over your work
on Sunday and go back Monday to reconcile problems.MY QUESTION — Would GFO ever organize/conduct a trip to the FHL in SLC?Go early in December, not very busy then.*Note that some responses have been combined or edited for brevity.
