Burial records, cremation records, grave maps, genealogy and ancestry at Deceased Online me and my brother Sex, lies and civil registration Okay, the talk today is about “Civil registration and Beyond” and it’s basically what I feel like talking about, really. It’s not the basics of the births, marriage and deaths and how to do your family history – there are lots of other places where you can find out about that. There are websites, there are books, there is loads and loads of stuff in print. This is the man, Thomas Henry Lister, who is the first Registrar General and he really got the thing going; didn’t go a bad job actually and had pretty good idea of what was required and It wasn’t his fault that the treasury never ever gave him enough money, or his successors, to do the job to what they considered to be its full potential. I am going to give you little bit of the background about why and how civil registration came about in the first place. This is some of the background, and this is a long chronology here. And these are a couple of the attempts: there was an attempt in 1832, and that got amended by committee.

Censuses - Discover the Collection Census returns are official Government of Canada records that enumerate the country’s population. They are an invaluable source of information as they often include the age, occupation, ethnic origin, religious denomination and the place of birth for the persons listed. For each census, the records are arranged by province or territory, and then are divided into districts which usually correspond to counties and cities. Districts are typically divided into sub-districts, corresponding to townships, parishes and larger towns. From 1851 to 1901, a census occurred every 10 years in Canada; this was confirmed by the British North America Act (also known as the Constitution Act, 1867). The original purpose of the census was to help determine parliamentary representation based on population. Census returns after 1921 are in the custody of Statistics Canada.

Epic online reunification of the descendants of the great Irish clans A ground-breaking and innovative online project is under way to reconnect all of the descendants of Ireland. Based on the concept of the Irish Clan name, the Great Irish Online Clan Gathering is seeking to build the international profile of Ireland and its people by connecting to an audience that may never have known of their direct links to Ireland via their surname. The Great Irish Online Clan Gathering (operated by the Irish Clans Network, an organisation funded by charitable donations from anonymous benefactors), is an extraordinary effort to join, connect and engage all those people throughout the world who have an Irish surname themselves OR have an Irish surname within their family tree. Taking the view that people who have, or whose ancestors have had, an Irish last name can in some way trace their heritage back to Ireland – the Great Irish Clan Gathering, launching this Christmas/New Year season, aims to use that special bond of a shared surname as the platform to do so.

Data gathering tools (new, to me) | ManyRoads As a genealogist that conducts much of his research on the web, good data and image gathering tools are extremely helpful. As a person who relies heavily on the PC as a genealogical repository and information processor, tools that help me sort and process the information I gather are highly valued (prized). In all fairness, I also ought to restate that I rarely (VERY rarely) work with any software outside of the OpenSource (or Free) realm unless I have a hugely compelling reason to do so. I must, additionally, admit that I am very new to many (read almost all) of these tools. It is also worth knowing that several of these tools are brand new to the world (or perhaps even a little bit newer than new). Having said all that, here are the innovative tools which most recently appeared on my radar screen. ZooTool Zootool is about collecting, organizing and sharing your favorite images, videos, documents and links from all over the internet. I need a little help from my friends.
