My father ran off from Portland when he was about twenty into the British Columbia woods, took a new name and had a wonderful imaginary family based on the accomplishments of his uncles and cousins. I only found this "real family" a few years ago, and they know less than I about the family. So I am stuck by the looks of it.Thanks for the interest and helpful ideas,Lynda From: or-roots-request at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Subject: or-roots Digest, Vol 59, Issue 23 To: or-roots at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2012 12:00:55 -0700 Send or-roots mailing list submissions to or-roots at listsmart.osl.state.or.us To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://listsmart.osl.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to or-roots-request at listsmart.osl.state.or.us You can reach the person managing the list at or-roots-owner at listsmart.osl.state.or.us When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of or-roots digest..." --Forwarded Message Attachment-- From: PMML at MERITEL.NET To: or-roots at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Date: Sat, 31 Mar 2012 10:35:56 -0700 Subject: Re: [or-roots] Rose Tompkins Listen to conversation.

Oregon is at 30 percent now with Kansas at 46 and Colorado at 77. Delaware crossed the finish line, at 100 percent.

My beef is when I find a name that is either or and I want to get it right and go find out from earlier census info what it actually is eg one I did first day; Loma or Lorna take your pick you can't convince me there is any more reason to call her Loma than there is Lorna on evidence from the page, so i went and found out for sure, found he marriage record in California where she married what his name, her maiden name was Lorna Elliott, but the arbitrator said I read it wrong. So now what? I think I am still going to take the extra effort, but it is frustrating as I had three of those judgement calls reversed in arbitration and i know I am right.

I know the theory is we can't "know" when something is wrong, but I am pretty sure that the two females I had listed as Head and wife today were probably supposed to be a male and a female. I was suspicious of the daughter named Arthur yesterday, but that was one I clearly see the wisdom of not second guessing, people do do strange things. having a daughter and son-in-law of a couple in their late seventies followed by three ?of the old couples "children" ages 2 to 5 kind seemed wrong, but I guess that one is too obvious to need to be changed. Maybe that's why we aren't allowed to pick, I am pretty sure if I had been indexing 1880 Gardiner I would have tried to slip the correct spelling of my great grand father past arbitration instead of leaving it so badly scrambled I had to scroll the pages to find them.

Oregon went from 30 to 35 percent while Kansas went from 35 to staggering 65 in one day. Each state go online upon completion and setup is complete by engineers. The site get updated once a week. Delaware is on the next update as I understand it to be. Am not seeing any batch to be arbitrated this morning. Lots last night. Tell the volunteers not to make any mistakes, and it go faster.

Out of ten total. Do we put sister in Title column it would then read surname__________ ?given name Derwya and title Sister O S F ??? ?The arbitrator put Derwa in both the surname and given name column, Maybe it should be in the surname and Sister should be the given name. the arbitrator also read O S F as O S I, is there such an order? That one was in Yamhill county. Also I thought blank lines were supposed to be just that; blank all the way across but the arbitrator numbered all the blank lines.

What I did was just inserted five lines where I had skpped people and then when I was don deleted the exxtra lines at bottom ?of page, all I had to do to save the ten lines that I put in the wrong place was change the line numbers.

If it is in the wrong box, but is in the wrong box on the original, then it stays there. for things like relation the column just after given name, it means you haven't put it in the right form, if I remember right you right click on that field and a menu will pop up, at the bottom is look up, it will give you the approved forms for mother-in-law and such. I was kind of surprised when I did the four nuns as three of them were listed as "subject" and I expected the form to complain about that. One of the things the red box is doing is questioning your spelling, I sometimes get confused between h and k in odd ball names ?Wilhoin was one I just had another was De Loris, it very clearly had a space between the e and the L but the arbitrator removed that. When you submit it will pass through your red boxes as a way to nag you to fix them. I usually scroll back up the page and double check my ages before submitting as those are easy to screw up and it doesn't hurt to double check.? --- On Sat, 4/7/12, CeCe Moore wrote: From: CeCe Moore Subject: Re: [or-roots] common mistakes indexing 1940 census To: or-roots at listsmart.osl.state.or.us Date: Saturday, April 7, 2012, 11:38 PM Got it.

For some unknown reason this guy used a lot of space filling dashes on the page, at least that is how I would interpret the two dashes he put in column 24 and 25 under two lines of empty space, I am pretty sure ditto marks aren't necessary for empty space. I guess it really doesn't matter one way or the other since it is going to be obviously wrong to have someone residing somewhere 4 years before they were born so I will treat them as ditto marks if it will keep my score up.

My ggf Milan Melvin is spelled indexed Milen Milven in the 1880 index and most of the rest of the family is just as bad, ironically Milan junior is clearly Milin and the index calls him Milvin.? That was what I meant when talking with David about this last night, if I had been indexing that page I would clearly have tried to slip ggf name past the arbitrator with the correct spelling, I finally found them by brute force in the index as for some reason even with exact spelling off the Family search couldn't find the family for me, once I had the index page it was easy finding the image in HQ, but I bet I spent four or five fruitless hours searching before that because it never occurred to me the census taker in the burgeoning metropolis of Gardiner, OR could butcher his name that bad.

Towns, counties and states/countries must be spelled correctly as record elsewhere. Like Koochching, not Coochching as on census, Canyon, not Canon as it is in Idaho. This is only requirement you have to know or check other sources for accurate spelling. Northern Ireland, enter as it is. Canada French, enter as it is, not French Canada like one indexer did in one batch (she reversed all of that but I arbitrated it to correct as recorded) If Astoria and it listed Columbia, it is wrong, it has to be Astoria, Clatsop, Oregon. This is what is specifically instructed. If it says St. Paul, enter St Paul. If it says Saint Paul, enter it Saint Paul. Those surnames that are Scottish and Ireland, no space allowed - McXX and MacXX. Ditto for DeXX . Van and Von are allowed. Given names, enter exact as it say, even it turn pink. Force it to accept that. Otherwise, the arbitrator will ding you. David S. On 4/8/2012 6:47 PM, CeCe Moore wrote: > Thanks, Les!

Of course scrolling through them on Family search is a lot harder than it is on HQ, took me about five minutes to go through the whole precinct in HQ.

Not sure about the Oregon Historical Society (I have not been there for a long time) but I would guess that where ever you go you will find the same directories. Once you have the exact address you can go to the Multnomah C ounty Assessor offices and?look up the?property records. In doing this?I have discovered when my relatives bought and sold the home they lived in. In a recent trip to another county in Oregon?I discovered that my aunt own the property that my grandparents lived in. ?This fact changed my outlook of the relationship between my grandparents and my aunt. If the address you have for Portland is after 1930 or 1931 (I am not sure of the exact year) you can Google the address and most likely you will find it and the cross streets. In either 1930 or 31 Portland renamed all the streets and addresses. Again the Multnomah County Main Library has a book that can tell you the new address from the old (Pre 1930-31). This information maybe available at other locations but when I was doing my research I used the Library resources .

L. Polk & Co. was founded by?Ralph Lane Polk?in 1870 in Detroit, MI as a publisher of business directories. In 1872, the company first published a City Directory, for Evansville, Indiana, plus a listing of post offices in nine states. Additional directories followed in the ensuing years as the business grew.[2]?In addition to city directories, the company published bank directories? for more info; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R.L._Polk_%26_Co.? Those are called "grass Widows"? Word History:?The term?grass widow?cries out for explanation of what?grass?means and how?grass widow?came to have its varied though related senses.?Grass?probably refers to a bed of grass or hay as opposed to a real bed. This association would help explain the earliest recorded sense of the word (1528), "an unmarried woman who has lived with one or more men," as well as the related senses "an abandoned mistress" and "the mother of an illegitimate child." Later on, after the sense of?grass?had been obscured, people may have interpreted?grass?as equivalent to the figurative use of?pasture,?as in?out to pasture.?Hence?grass widow?could have developed the senses "a divorced or separated wife" or "a wife whose husband is temporarily absent."? Huh, never looked it up before, I just remember my mom remarking when Dad mentioned some "widow" lady that they had met recently that she was a "grass widow" with a clear suggestion that she didn't approve.? I think Mom felt she should have stuck by her man. Reading the origin though I see it is more of an insult than I realized.? I found one of my distant cousins who listed herself as a widow and about half of her kids were living with their father about four door away, he listed himself as divorced.

In addition to losing a great volunteer and contributor to so many projects here at the Archives, I also lost a very dear friend. I am sure if she had been in better health towards the end she would have joined in the 1940 census effort! I am impressed with all the work you and others have been putting into this effort and it really is amazing how much has been accomplished in such a short time. Thank you all for your hard work.

I never met her but from the sounds of the things she volunteered for I have benefitted from her work. Thanks for posting this. This 1940 census has been my first experience with indexing. It has been interesting. Remembering over the years of going through microfilm to search for things it makes me appreciate the clearer images on the 1940 census. You still have to contend with the handwriting issue.

Daraleen was one of my first genealogy contacts and a distant cousin. She invited me to her home and showed me the old celluloid DOWNING and HUNT family photo albums and made copies of some of the photos for me and also helped me with the genealogy for these families. Without Daraleen, I would have never seen their faces and it is such a treasure to have these photo copies of my ancestors. Daraleen was a treasure too, and such a dedicated genealogist.
