Ancestry.com Announces New Macintosh Version of Family Tree Maker - http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2010/04/ancestrycom-announces-new-macintosh-version-of-family-tree-maker.html

PROVO, Utah, April 28 -- Ancestry.com, the world's largest online family resource, today revealed a Mac® version of Family Tree Maker® at the 2010 National Genealogical Society Family History Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. The new version of the world's No. 1 selling family history software is planned for release later this year.

"Every innovation or update we make is driven by what customers tell us they need to further their family history research," said Eric Shoup, Senior Vice President of Product. "The Mac version of Family Tree Maker was the obvious next step forward to add to our family of Ancestry.com products and is a much anticipated product for our Mac-based customers."

Family Tree Maker has helped users organize their family history research for more than 20 years. The software provides users the tools they need to build a family tree, record memories and organize photos, stories, videos and audio clips in a way that will help easily capture and share the story of their ancestors.

Family Tree Maker accesses the robust collection of family history records and powerful search features from Ancestry.com - without leaving the software. When connected to the Internet, Family Tree Maker automatically searches Ancestry.com for historical documents about the individuals in the user's family tree. Ancestry.com subscribers can easily view and import these historical records into their family tree with just a few mouse clicks.

Family Tree Maker 2010 is the current PC version of the software. The Mac version of Family Tree Maker will be built on the functionality of Family Tree Maker 2010 and constructed from the bottom up to take full advantage of the Mac platform in terms of technology and user experience. 

Early this year, Ancestry.com expanded to another Apple® platform: the iPhone®. With the launch of its Tree To Go iPhone application in January 2010, Ancestry.com now gives users access to generations of family history at every turn. From their iPhone, users can easily upload photos, update sources and edit trees. The Tree To Go iPhone application is available for iPhone and iPod touch® for free through the iPhone App Store or iTunes®.

Ancestry.com also announced today the launch of its new Ancestry.com Wiki. This wiki will feature a living version of the company's two largest reference books, The Source: A Guidebook to American Genealogy and Red Book: American State, County and Town Sources. These books, which are exhaustive guides to American genealogy, will now be made available for the family history community to update, expand on and even add to, making it a go-to resource for guidance and information. The beta version of the Ancestry.com Wiki is available to the public for free at www.ancestry.com/wiki.

Cleveland

Owned Cemetery Data Goes Worldwide
 
An alphabetical by surname index to burials is now available on line to the ten Cleveland owned cemeteries—Alger,, Brookmere, Denison, Harvard Grove, Highland Park, Cleveland Memorial Park, Monroe Street, Scranton Road, West Park and Woodland. All you need is an internet connection no matter where you are in the world. After locating the name of interest, one click of your mouse will take you to a scan of the actual cemetery ledger page on which that name appears.
 
David Mitchell, Manager of Cleveland Cemeteries and additional representatives from the City of Cleveland’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Properties will be on hand at Highland Park Cemetery on Friday, December 3^rd at 2 pm to honor the volunteers who devoted hours to complete this massive project.
 
This was an all volunteer project with 65 volunteers inputting records of 353,539 internments dating from the opening of the cemeteries to about 1994. URL: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohcdrt/clecems.
 
This project was organized and supervised by the East Cuyahoga County Genealogical Society with Vicki Vigil serving as project director and Cynthia Turk as consultant.
 
The Cleveland District Round Table [CDRT] currently hosts this database. The purpose
of this website is to keep those interested in family history up-to-date on the various genealogy interest groups and their activities. It is the website for current genealogy happenings in the Cleveland area.
 
The East Cuyahoga County Genealogical Society was established in 1973 as a chapter of the Ohio Genealogical Society headquartered in Mansfield. ECCGS meets monthly at the Ross C. DeJohn Community Center in Mayfield Heights. Its purpose is to encourage and promote an interest in genealogy. This project is only the latest of many that the group has undertaken.
 
For more detailed information, please contact Vicki Vigil at 440.461.5077 or idiggen@....
 
 

I was saddened this past week to learn of my dear "internet" friend, Lajos
Reich, of Budapest.
 
Some of you may know about Lajos, or maybe he helped you with your genealogy. 
Lajos was a regular and helpful poster on Ancestry and Genforum Hungarian
boards, as well as other former

Week of Free Access Enables Families to Discover Stories of Ancestors’ International Travels and Passage

 

PROVO, UTAH – (August 29, 2011) – Ancestry.com, the world’s largest online family history resource, today announced an entire week of free access to its popular U.S. and International Immigration and Naturalization records. The free access week begins August 29th and runs through the Labor Day holiday ending September 5th. During this time, all visitors to Ancestry.com will be able to search for free the indices and images of new and updated U.S. immigration records as well as selected international immigration records from the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Australia, Canada, Germany, Sweden and Mexico. Millions of Americans can trace their family history to other countries, and these collections provide valuable information about the travels and journeys that brought them to America or other countries around the world.

Ancestry.com’s extensive collection of immigration, naturalization and travel records offer an important resource for discovering and celebrating family history. As part of this promotion, the company is adding to its collection of U.S. and international records for tracing relatives from their homeland to other countries around the world. These records include ships passenger and crew lists, declarations of intent, petitions for naturalization, witness affidavits, border crossings, certificates and other records generated by the naturalization process, which is the act and procedure of becoming a new citizen of a country. Because the process has changed significantly over time and varies from country to country, different records are available from a wide variety of state, federal and international sources.

 

Newly added U.S. collections include Florida Petitions for Naturalization, 1913-1991; Delaware Naturalization Records, 1796-1959 and Utah Naturalization and Citizenship Records, 1850-1960. Noteworthy updated U.S. and international collections include U.S. Naturalization and Passport applications, 1795-1972; UK Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960; Border Crossings: From Canada to U.S., 1895-1956; New South Wales, Australia, Unassisted Immigrant Passenger Lists, 1826-1922; Border Crossings: From Mexico to U.S., 1895-1957; New York State, Passenger and Crew Lists, 1917-1973; Atlantic Ports Passenger Lists, 1820-1873 and 1893-1959.

 

“One of the most common elements of the American experience is our respect and interest in our native heritage.  Almost all Americans have international roots, and many take great pride and even feel patriotic toward the countries from which their ancestors originated,” said Josh Hanna, Ancestry.com Executive Vice President. “That’s why we continue to build and enrich our collection of immigration and naturalization records and why we are providing free access to anyone who wants to search these records to discover their family’s international history.”

 

Many families have already made important discoveries in Ancestry.com’s immigration and naturalization collection. Each of the following stories offers an example of the exciting and often emotional discoveries made by some Ancestry.com users.

David A. Bader – Atlanta, GA: Bader traced his mother’s immigration from birth in Vienna, Austria, in 1934, during the Holocaust, through a KinderTransport to England (1939-1941), and eventually her immigration into the U.S. He’s also traced her parents’ journeys through concentration camps and other paths that lead to the United States, where the family came back together after their separate journeys of luck and fate.

Kristine Plotinski – Romeo, MI: Plotinski recently found the ship manifest of when her grandparents and three aunts immigrated to the United States from Iraq in 1947. She shared this document with her aunts and they were deeply touched when they saw their names on the manifest. One of her aunts remarked that she had been unable to find her immigration records on a visit to Ellis Island and recounted that seeing the document from Ancestry.com brought back many memories. Her aunt very clearly remembers the day in 1947 when her ship arrived in New York. She was awed by the lights of New York and the snow and wore a pink coat made with rabbit fur, which her grandmother had made for each of Kristine’s aunts.

Jackie Wells – Annapolis, MD:  Although her father died of cancer, Wells was fortunate to spend considerable time with him before he passed. Many of their talks focused on his family history. He did not know much about his mother, who died from a fire when he was three, or about her background. His father remarried and supported a blended family, but did not talk about his background. Since those discussions, Wells has traced her father’s side back to the original immigrants, finding early colonial settlers of New England, a sea captain defending New York’s harbor under George Washington in 1776, early residents of the new capital Washington, hard-working mid-1800's immigrants, Civil War soldiers, sports legends and many poignant personal stories. So far, for two of the immigrants Wells located, she has traveled to and photographed their birth villages, in Italy and in Germany. Wells’ family history research has helped her find and be welcomed by hundreds of newfound relatives who have provided many memories and a much deeper understanding her father’s family history.

What Is "Second Cousin Once Removed?"

First Cousin: Your first cousins are the people in your family who have at least one of the same grandparents as you. In other words, they are the children of your aunts and uncles.

Second Cousin: Your second cousins are the people in your family who share the same great-grandparent with you.

Third, Fourth, and Fifth Cousins: Your third cousins share at least one great-great-grandparent, fourth cousins share a great-great-great-grandparent, and so on.

Removed: When the word "removed" is used to describe a relationship, it indicates that the two people are from different generations. "Once removed" indicates a difference of one generation, "twice removed" indicates a difference of two generations, and so forth.

Cousins Table

Quite interesting.  I guess I met second or third cousins in Slovakia.  I'll
have to figure that out.

Hi All - I just found this group while looking for information about my 2nd
great-grandfther, Franz Salzer of Budapest. Franz was born 4 Oct. 1861 and
arrived in the US in 1875. Franz married Elizabeth Miller and had 5 children,
Emma, Franz (Frank), John, Lauretta and Julia. One address I have of the family
is 159 Milford St. in Cleveland in the 1900 Census and Franz was a cabinetmaker.
Franz and Elizabeth are buried in the Monroe St. cemetery. I am trying to find
out how to locate Franz family in Budapest and am open to suggestions. Thanks!
