everyone this is Kimberly the Genealogy guide for About.com...our
guest for tonight |
| scrapbookingADM |
that question can be for you Kimberly |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Yes, if you can afford it I would suggest having professional copies
made |
| Lilybell |
Hello, I finally made it |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
They can even restore scratches, etc in the process |
| scrapbookingADM |
where do you have that done at Kimberly? |
| Linda |
glad you could |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
And it makes for a better scrapbook :-) |
| new2scrappin |
we scanned them and put them on a cd... |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
That works as well - you can print them out on photo paper |
| scrapbookingADM |
thats a great way to save them digitally, new2 |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
If you have a good photo printer |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
And digital is the best way to preserve old photos because no matter
what you do they will continue to deteriorate |
| new2scrappin |
ours isn't great.... where could we have them done? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Digital will last forever |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
There are a few options |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
You can take them to one of those Kodak photo machines |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
They do a pretty good job |
| breanne |
ooh - those machines are fun! |
| scrapbookingADM |
lol breanne |
| Lilybell |
What digital camera do you guys recommend? |
| Linda |
Are you talking about taking pics of pics? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Any photo shop can also make negatives from your pictures and then
make reprints |
| new2scrappin |
i will have to try that! thanks! |
| breanne |
i was in the CVS for 4 hrs. one day getting 7 rolls of film developed
and using the machine :) |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Or you can go to a professional who specializes in photo restoration |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
The machine is the best option if you only want to make one set of
prints |
| Linda |
digital is forever? |
| new2scrappin |
how would you find a professional? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Having negatives made is more expensive, but is also the better option
if you want to make lots of copies for family members |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Because then the reprints are cheaper |

| KimberlyGenealogy |
Or you can look in your yellow pages |
| Lilybell |
Hi, Anne |
| new2scrappin |

| KimberlyGenealogy |
They should say that they are restoration experts |
| AnnaP |
Hi everyone! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Glad to have you! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Rebecca - did you figure out the transcript thing? |
| scrapbookingADM |
yep its running |
| scrapbookingADM |
<smile> |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I've had a request from someone who loves your site but couldn't make
it tonight |
| scrapbookingADM |
oh cool |
| Linda |
Dear Rebecca |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Because they are having a scrapbooking party |
| Linda |
Could you do the font size thingy |
| scrapbookingADM |
yep.....type *chat fontsize 14 |
| scrapbookingADM |
remember all the * is important and so is the spacing |
| Linda |
Thank you |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Oh - I sure wish they would change the default fontsize and color in
our chat rooms! |
| scrapbookingADM |
np |
| scrapbookingADM |
yep me too |
| Linda |
I missed a space |
| scrapbookingADM |
so Linda are you working on Heritage albums? |
| Linda |
always |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
That's great! |
| Linda |
that means I am always sorting, looking for info, idea and scrapping |
|

| scrapbookingADM |
have you worked on your genealogy? |
| Linda |
I do have lot done |
| scrapbookingADM |
yeah.....everyone.....maschultz....is my Mom....welcome mom ...hugggs |
| Linda |
Hi Mas |
| Linda |
Hi mom!! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Hi Rebecca's Mom :-) |
| Lilybell |
Hi, mom |
| maschultz |
Hi Bec, Hi Kimberly |
| Linda |
I am not very knowledgeable |
| breanne |
hi rebecca's mommy!! |
| scrapbookingADM |
Kimberly....Mom is working on our family's genealogy....tell us how
far back you have gotten, Mom |
| AnnaP |
Hi |
| maschultz |
Hi Breanne |
| Linda |
I am going to start kimberly's class this wek |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Yay Linda :-) |
| scrapbookingADM |
cool Linda thats great |
| maschultz |
I've gotten back to the 1500s on a couple of the branches. |
| new2scrappin |
wow! |
| Linda |
very nice |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
That is excellent!! |
| AnnaP |
wow, that's a long way back! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
What countries? |
| scrapbookingADM |
isn't she great? <smile> |
| breanne |
<smiles> like mother, like daughter |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
the proud daughter ... |
| maschultz |
England, Germany are the ones that go back that far |
| Linda |
Our one line goes back almost that far, but we are mising a link |
| scrapbookingADM |
lol |
|
............................
amber1432 left............. |
| Linda |
That is great mom |
| scrapbookingADM |
Kimberly I have heard that a lot of people get stuck about there...due
to the scarcity of written records??? |
| Linda |
How long have you been working? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Linda - meaning that you think it goes back that far but you haven't
found the proof to connect to the previous research? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Yes, it is hard to get past the 1500s |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
It usually takes church records or previous genealogies to get back
that far |
| AnnaP |
My aunty is researching our family tree, but she's only got as far
back as the late 1700s, in England and Scotland |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
And there are few surviving church records from the 15th century |
| maschultz |
I have found that connecting to other geneologists on the internet
through rootsweb has really helped me. |
| Lilybell |
What is rootsweb? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Anna - she will probably have a chance to go back further using church
records |
| Linda |
Kimberly, there is a wonderful person who has a website for our name
and she has it back that far to England, |
| scrapbookingADM |
and she likes your site Kimberly (she mentioned it to me earlier
today) |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
But that research is hard to do without visiting personally |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Rootsweb is a large genealogy site owned by MyFamily.com |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
It is run by volunteers |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
and has Web sites for countries around the world |
| AnnaP |
She visited England last year and looked at some church records, which
helped get a bit further, but a lot were destroyed in a church fire. |
| Linda |
Our side is done too. we connect but there is someone missing |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Plus hundreds of mailing lists |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
And WorldConnect which is a way to post your family tree and search
for others with info on your surnames |
| scrapbookingADM |
wow Anna...that is really cool that she was able to visit and do the
research even if it wasnt as extensive as hoped |
|

hello rebecca |
| AnnaP |
Well, she was in England touring, so she spent some time researching
too |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Anna- with all of the Wars, especially, it takes good luck to get back
into pre-1700 |
| Linda |
HI BC |
| Linda |
Hi reanie |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
So many records have been destroyed |
| scrapbookingADM |
Kimberly the Genealogy guide is here to answer any Heritage
scrapbooking or genealogy questions we may have for her. |
| Reanie |
hi Linda.... |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I am actually amazed that you got back that far in Germany maschultz |
| Linda |
glad you guys are here |
|

Hi Cristy |
| Cristy |
Good evening all |
| scrapbookingADM |
hi Cristy |
| Linda |
It is hard to follow |
| AnnaP |
Hi cristy |
| Reanie |
I havent even thought Bout doing that kind of a book |
| Linda |
So much good info |
| Cristy |
Hi rebecca, Linda and Anna. |
| Linda |
You will |
| Reanie |
so I am ready for ideas' |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Linda - I'm glad to know that your contact likes my site :) |
| breanne |
<laughs> im with you, Reanie |
| Cristy |
Anna its about lunch time there isn't it? |
| maschultz |
I was lucky. It turned out that a large group of settlers came to the
US and settled in Virginia in the 1700's. They had the records and kept
them updated. |
| scrapbookingADM |
the transcripts of this chat will be posted on my site for you to read
again later for future reference |
| Linda |
Kimberly, not me |
| Linda |
thank Rebecca |
| scrapbookingADM |
wow thats cool, Mom |
| AnnaP |
I have some photos of my dh as a baby. He's now 32. Does that count as
heritage? Probably not. LOL |
| BCBoop |
TypeHi, all. I'll 'listen' for a while. |
| breanne |
hehe @ Anna |
| Linda |
Kimberly, I love your site |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I got lost in all of the chatter <grin> |
| scrapbookingADM |
yep, Anna....that is your children's heritage <smile> |
| Cristy |
I have a question about old pictures |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Anna - everything is heritage in my book |
|

good way to look at it |
| scrapbookingADM |
go ahead Cristy |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
You were lucky maschultz - that is wonderful! |
| Reanie |
yes it is !! |
| AnnaP |
Well I guess I might start some heritage pics when I get up to date,
then. |
| Linda |
Rebecca is so lucky |
| Linda |
That's great Anna |
| Reanie |
by the time iget done , my pics will be heritage lol |
| scrapbookingADM |
(I am especially lucky cause Mom is scrapbooking the info too) |
| Cristy |
My dad recived a family history album as a 50th Bday gift. It traced
his family back 150 years. |
| Linda |
lol |
| Linda |
that is great |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
What a great birthday gift! |
| maschultz |
Rebecca is even luckier than you think. Her dad and sister and reading
this chat with me |
| Cristy |
The only problem, is most of hte old pictures were pictures of
pictures of pictures then copied, so they are grainy and blurry |
| Linda |
Hi dad & sis |
| AnnaP |
That would be a great present to get - what interesting reading! |
| scrapbookingADM |
lol...and that makes me lucky? |
| scrapbookingADM |
ohhh I see Cristy |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Cristy - I'm sure someone in the family must have the original photos
though |
| Cristy |
I want to srap them but they aren't really good pictures, plus I would
have to copy them again, making it even worse |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Have you tried contacting the person who made the album for your
father? |
| kit |
I gave my husband an album covering 25 yrs of marriage for our
anniversary....does that count as heritage?? LOLt |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
That's the #1 step in genealogy |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Start at home - with your family |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
and your relatives |
| Cristy |
She said all her's were copies (they are all old family. My dad is the
baby in the family and he is 65 |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Too many people skip that step |
| AnnaP |
We have photos of my granfather's family - my aunty has originals and
my mum has colour copies |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Cristy - someone in the family must have them |
| Lilybell |
My sister-in-law has all the info and pictures for my husbands side.
She isn't sharing ! She has offered to let us get prints. Do you suggest
we be happy with that or fight for some of the real thing? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Sounds like you need to start making contact with cousins and other
descendants |
| maschultz |
Kimberly, do you have a source for a good list of questions to send to
relatives to jog their memories? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Lilybell - I would start by taking her up on her offer to make prints |
| scrapbookingADM |
lol....do you suggest they "fight" Kimberly? |
| Cristy |
It would have o be one of my aunts and two of them live here in MI and
one just moved |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
That's better than nothing |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Sure do maschultz - just a sec and I'll get you a URL |
| BCBoop |
I feel very lucky that someone researched and wrote and published the
story of my father's mother. It was no easy task, with a name like
Jones. |
| Lilybell |
Guess you are right. But there are so many that it just burns me. |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
http://genealogy.about.com/cs/oralhistory/ |
| scrapbookingADM |
lol...true BC...that is great |
| Reanie |
our family isnt close at all so I dont know much about anything to be
honest |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Has advice on questioning family members |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
and links to sites with tons of great questions |
| scrapbookingADM |
Mom do you know you can click surf and it opens a new window for you? |
| new2scrappin |
we know nothing about my dh great grandfather except the pictures and
letters found. They say where he lived. We don't know where buried or
anything. any suggestions? |
| maschultz |
Jenny just told me |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
do you know where he lived new2? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
And what time period? |
| Reanie |
hey.... I will be back in a while my daughter needs me i guess lol |
|

Reanie left............. |

AnnaP left............. |
| new2scrappin |
we know where he was in 1875, but he apparently died or something and
the grandmother remarried and know one ever knew about it. Found the
letters so really interested in finding out. |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
You could start by looking for him in the 1870 census |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
That would provide you with his place of birth and his age |
| Cristy |
I had a chance to read my great great grandfathers journal / diary
from when he was in the civil war and when he came up to Michigan and
settled the city I grew up in |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I would also look for information on the grandmother's second marriage |
| scrapbookingADM |
how do you do that, Kim.....beginner question I know..but I have no
clue |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
as it may help you to narrow down a time period or location for his
death |
| new2scrappin |
that would be great. I am going to have to go to our local genealogy
club and find out how to do it! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I'm jealous Cristy!!!!!! |
| scrapbookingADM |
thats wonderful Cristy |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
My family seems to have not kept any interesting things like that |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I have a ton of Civil War ancestors |
| scrapbookingADM |
how do you find the 1870 census, Kimberly? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
But the closest I have to mementos are pension records |
| Cristy |
Well he settled the city I grewup in so I had to research something
serious up in Lansing State Archives but we came across the journal in
some old papers my aunt had |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
new2 - you can learn how to use census records on my site too! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
If you live in the area you are researching you can find census
records at area libraries with genealogy sections |
| new2scrappin |
i will check it out. I just signed up to this site and yours! |
| new2scrappin |
I dont live far! |

Hi Kimberly |

new2 - what state? county? |
| karinasmum |
They have a centre near me too |
| scrapbookingADM |
Kimberly tell us about your online classes |
| Cristy |
Hey Breanne sorry to hear you package didn't arrive |
| new2scrappin |
Thanks, BCBoop! It is really interesting especially since we found the
pictures! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Online classes...hum... |
| breanne |
hey Christy - lol - thanks :) i wasnt really looking at the chat!!
oops! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I started a new experiment three weeks ago on my site |
| new2scrappin |
Arkansas, not sure what county. Lake City, Arkansas |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
It is an interactive classroom where I teach free online genealogy
classes |
| karinasmum |
sounds good Kimberly |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
The first class is a 6 week Introduction to Genealogy |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I have tried my best not to make it too US centric because I have
people from all over the world who use my site |
| new2scrappin |
When are your classes?? |
| maschultz |
Are the classes done in a chat setting |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
And so many of the other big genealogy sites concentrate primarily on
US |
| scrapbookingADM |
<nodding>...About has a very international audience |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
The classes include a weekly lesson, a weekly assignment and a quiz |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Which are all done on your own time schedule |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
The classroom itself is in a forum |
| karinasmum |
a quiz! its hard enough with my own tricky bits without a quiz |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Which is separate from my main genealogy forum and is solely for
people who are taking the classes |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I post assignments etc in the forum |
| BCBoop |
We have a large geneology section in the Ft Worth Library. |
| Lilybell |
How do you get to the classes? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
People post their assignments (which are optional Leonie) |
| maschultz |
So you can start the classes at any time right? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
And I make comments about people's assignments and answer
questions,etc |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Yes, you can start the classes at any time |
| karinasmum |
Kimberly, would your forum be able to help me with my stuck list |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
We are going into the 4th week of a 6 week class so you will have some
catching up to do! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I will also offer the class again in the future as well as offering a
variety of other classes |
| Linda |
I have to say that i think this is a great idea!\ |
| karinasmum |
me too |
| new2scrappin |
sounds good1 |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Leonie - I have a brick wall folder in my forum as well as a folder
for posting surnames |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Thanks - it has been a lot of fun and I have over 200 people taking my
first class! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
You can get to it from my site's homepage |
| karinasmum |
Youll be seeing me there soon, then. Rebecca has been hogging my
internet time but she may have to share it! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
http://genealogy.about.com |
| scrapbookingADM |
lol.....sigh |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Rebecca - hey, I share my people with you :-) |
| scrapbookingADM |
I plugged my site for an hour in Kimberly's chat a couple weeks
ago.....lol |
| Linda |
I saw how she was talking to people about their homework. It was just
like the board here. |
| scrapbookingADM |
she has a fabulous site....we indeed share a lot of readers |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Yes - I have a main board just like Rebecca does |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
And then I have a separate one called "Lets Learn Genealogy"
where I hold the classes |
| Linda |
where are they? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Thanks Rebecca *blush* |
| new2scrappin |
i read the chat with Rebecca on your site! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Main form is http://genealogy.about.com/ab-genealogy/ |
| scrapbookingADM |
I cant figure out how to teach scrapbooking in a forum setting but I
am thinking about it |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Or you can get to it from my site's homepage, same as you do with
Rebeccas |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
If I can teach genealogy, then you can teach scrapbooking |
| Linda |
Rebecca, I think you are doing a wonderful job teaching people |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I'll help with ideas :-) |
| scrapbookingADM |
my turn to *blush* thanks Linda....Linda is going to be my chat and
forum host, Kim |
| scrapbookingADM |
<---always borrowing ideas from Kimberly |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Congrats Linda! |
| Linda |
Watch out-Kimberly might steal me!!!!lol |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
LOL Linda - I was just thinking that... |
| karinasmum |
When is this, LInda |
| maschultz |
Kimberly, have you put your family tree information into a heritage
album? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Shhh - don't tell Rebecca |
| scrapbookingADM |

| KimberlyGenealogy |
I come from family with lots of descendants and I have to share |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
So I have to get reprints made for a scrapbook |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I have created a few Family History books though |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Just simple ones for family reunions and the like |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
With photos and letters and family tree info, etc |
| Lilybell |
What is the best way to get reprints done? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
If you only want to make one set to scrapbook with then the Kodak
photo machines are the best option |
| maschultz |
I would like to do a family history book but need a way to get
started. |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Assuming the photos are old enough that there are no negatives |
|
............................

| scrapbookingADM |
there you go Linda..theres only one of you again |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
maschultz - do you use a genealogy software program? |
| Lilybell |
OK, Thanks!!!!! |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Lilybell - if you have old photos which are torn or scratched then you
can either have them reprinted/restored professionally |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Or if you are good with a computer graphics program you can scan them
in and do it yourself |
| maschultz |
Yes, I have a Family Tree Maker and I know that it has the capability,
but haven't printed a book yet. |

| scrapbookingADM |
(sounds so vicious) |
| Lindaj |
it is 12x 15 |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
That should probably take care of the problem Linda |
| Lindaj |
a trah bag? |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
making a new album that is |
| Lindaj |
I think they are dead |
| scrapbookingADM |
thats what I would do Linda....because the paper most likely isnt acid
free |
| scrapbookingADM |
yeah a trash bag |
| polly |
One of my relatives was a witch burnt at the stake in Salem, her name
was Polly too-my dd thinks that is so neat, I don;t think it is LOL |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Make sure if you use a bag that it is in a location where it can't
possibly pick up condensation |
| scrapbookingADM |
lol Polly |
| scrapbookingADM |
true |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
It's bad for the photos to not be able to breathe |
| Lindaj |
one last ? |
| scrapbookingADM |
hmmm if they are dead |
| scrapbookingADM |
then just rescrap when you can |
| Lindaj |
ther is a pic of her a one of the Wright bros |
| breanne |
well, imma go to sleep - not sure if i have school yet tomorrow ;) |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
WOW!! |
| Lindaj |
it was in Dayton |
| scrapbookingADM |
nite ((((((breanne))))))) |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
My husband would be jealous |
| new2scrappin |
what about putting photos in a plastic box? is that ok? |
| polly |
Linda--how neat |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I'd better not tell him |
| Lindaj |
I would like to verify |
| scrapbookingADM |
cool Linda |
| Lindaj |
should I use a biography or go gen |
| breanne |
bye! nite! ill keep y'all posted tomorrow on the package |
| Lindaj |
bye bre |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
You want to verify the man in the photo is one of the wright brothers? |
| Lindaj |
yes |
| Lindaj |
she wrote it |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Or verify that you are related to one of the wright brothers |
| Lindaj |
not related |
|

usually photo storage boxes are cardboard new2 and for long term
storage you dont want it to be airtight as Kimberly said....(only short
term to kill bugs <smile>) |
| Lindaj |
just that he was in the area at the time |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Then I would probably just study as many biographies as I could find |
| Lindaj |
thanks, I will |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Look for photos to compare |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
esp ones taken around the same time period |
| Lindaj |
I will |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Is there a date on the photo? |
| Lindaj |
I think |
| scrapbookingADM |
that sounds like a fun project Linda! |
| Lindaj |
if not the book was all from a certain period |
| Lindaj |
It is in a box |
| Lindaj |
away from my other stuff |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
If you can verify that the photo was taken at a certain place and time |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Then you can also verify that it would have been possible |
| Lindaj |
at a colege |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Does that make sense? |
| Lindaj |
yes |
| Lindaj |
thanks |
| Lindaj |
i thought it would be neat |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Then you should be able to verify that the Wright Bros were at that
college during that time period |
| Lindaj |
yes |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
I'm sure their entire life is documented somewhere :-) |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
Very neat - my husband would kill to have a photo like that |
| Lindaj |
I'm sure |
| polly |
try a search on the internet for them Linda |
| KimberlyGenealogy |
He's a big aviation buff |
| Lindaj |
if it is, I can send him a copy |
| Lindaj |
good idea polly |
| Lindaj |
Luckily it is the same size as a cm 12 x15 |
