============================================

In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to  https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner and use keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

My friend, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED.  Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link).  It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.

Saturday Night Genealogy Fun -- Your Sporting Activities

Calling all Genea-Musings Fans: 

 It's Saturday Night again - 

time for some more Genealogy Fun!!


Here is your assignment if you choose to play along (cue the Mission Impossible music, please!):

1)  What sporting activities did you participate in as a youth and as an adult?


2)  Tell us in your own blog post, in a comment to this post, or on Facebook or Google+.  Please leave a comment on this post with a link to your post.

Thank you to Lisa Gorrell for suggesting this SNGF topic.


Here's mine:


As a child, I loved playing baseball, and being competitive.  We played at school on the south field, at the playground on the way home from school, at the park, and on the street by our house.  The best place was at Grape Street Park - there was a big grassy area that backed up to the golf course driving range.  We usually played three flies up (one player hits flies, and when someone catches three on the fly, they get to hit the flies).  This was tremendous for hitting, and for playing outfield.  

 I was small and left-handed, but coordinated, and I could throw, catch and run well, but didn't hit very well, but I bunted well.  I have always had poor eyesight without my glasses (amblyopia, left eye dominant), which I finally got when I was 12.  I still couldn't hit well after I got my glasses.

In 5th grade, there was a school baseball team, and we traveled to other schools to play their teams.  I usually was a substitute and played the outfield because of my size and hitting problems.  

When we finally got Little League in 1957, I was a year too old.  I tried out for Pony League, but didn't make the team.  So I became a coach and scorekeeper for my brother's Little League team, with my father as the manager.  That was fun, and I got to pitch batting practice and do infield drills.  When Stan turned 13, I was a coach and scorekeeper for his two years in Pony League with my father as manager.  

When my brother Scott turned 8, my dad managed his Little League teams for five years, and his Pony League team for two years.  I coached and scorekept all those years.  At age 23, I started managing a Little League team myself and did that for about six years until we had our first child.  When my daughter was 9 years old, Linda became a manager and I was the coach for the girls softball teams until they entered high school.

Back in the 1950s, brother Stan and I took the bus down to the PCL San Diego Padres field on Harbor Drive to attend games, and we listened to many of the games on the radio at home every night.  We also got a television around that time, and were able to watch the Game of the Week and the World Series.  My father, being from Massachusetts, was a Boston Red Sox fan, and hated the Yankees.  

I am still a San Diego Padres fan, and Linda and I have had a 20-game season ticket package since 1998.  We watch almost every game on TV.   It's been a long time since the Padres made the playoffs, and they've been to the World Series only twice, in 1984 and 1998.  Hope still springs eternal every spring. 

Other sports?  In the fall, we played touch and flag football at Grape Street Park - I was usually a quarterback.  We also threw the football on 30th street in between cars and buses rumbling by.  The Chargers came to town in 1961, and I've been a devoted fan ever since.  Before we had children, we had season tickets for a few years.  Now I just watch on TV since the damn owners moved the team out of town.  

Bowling.  As a teen, I started bowling at Aztec Bowl, and by the time I was a young adult I had a 180 average.  After marriage, I didn't bowl very much and now not at all because it hurts my sliding knee. 

Basketball?  In school, my friends and I stopped at the church playground after school and played, but I was always really small and not quick enough.  No big loss IMHO.

New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday, 12 October 2018

I received this information from Findmypast today:
===============================================

New Records Available To Search this Findmypast Friday

There are more than 101,000 new records and newspaper articles available to search this Findmypast Friday, including:


A further 54 million newly indexed records spanning the years 1921 to 1925 have just been added to our collection of newly indexed England & Wales, Electoral Registers 1920-1932. These new additions mean that the collection now contains a complete run of all surviving records for all parliamentary boroughs from A to L (the first being the PB of Accrington and the last being the PC of Nottinghamshire, Rushcliffe Division).

This new and improved collection now contains over 107 million records that will enable you to bridge the vital gap left by the destruction of the 1931 census of England & Wales. When combined with the 1911 census and 1939 register, the collection provides you with unrivalled record coverage for early 20th century Britain, allowing you to trace your ancestors across a period of history that has traditionally been problematic for many researchers.

Electoral Registers are listings of all those registered to vote in a particular area. The lists were created annually to record the names of eligible voters and their reason for eligibility, such as their residence or ownership of a property. Registration for voters in England has been required since 1832 and registers were typically published annually, making electoral registers and excellent resource for tracking ancestors between the census years or for uncovering the history of your home or local area.


Discover if your ancestor was born in the English county of Dorset. Search more than 387,000 additional records spanning the years 1538 to 1978 and covering more than 300 parishes across the county. A full list of the parishes and date ranges covered by the collection can be found via the useful links & resources section of the search page.

With each record you will find a transcription of an original parish record created by the Dorset Family History Society. The information contained varies, but most records will include a combination of your ancestor's birth date, birth place, baptism date, baptism place, parents' names, and father's occupation.


Over 22,000 new records have been added to our collection of Dorset burials. The collection spans the years 1538 to 1995 and covers more than 330 parishes across the county. A full list of the parishes and date ranges covered by the collection can be found via the useful links & resources section of the search page.

This collection has been created by indexes from the Dorset Family History and Family Search. Each result will include a transcript of an original document that will reveal a combination of your ancestor's age at death, birth year, burial date and burial place.


This week we have added 55,918 new pages to The Archive. We have added seven new titles and updated seventeen of our existing titles, including:

4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):   

Thomas Hazard was born 28 July 1707 in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, the son of Stephen
Hazard and Elizabeth Helme[1,4].
He married, on 22 February 1727 in South Kingstown, to Hannah Slocum, the daughter of
Samuel Slocum and Hannah Carr[2,4]. They had only one child:
* Stephen Hazard (1730-1804), who married Elizabeth Carpenter (1741-????) in about 1760,
probably in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. Thomas Hazard's father, Stephen Hazard, wrote his will on 19 September 1727 and it was proved
on 9 October 1727 in South Kingstown, Rhode Island town council records[5]. The will bequeathed
to Thomas "Hassard:" "Item. I give to my beloved son Thomas Hassard a Certain parcell of Land lying and being in sd
North Kingstown Containing by Estimation three hundred Acres be it more or less bounded
Northerly partly on Coles harbor so called and partly on Samuel Slocumbs Land and the Mill
pond and partly on a Driftway and Thomas Places Land Easterly on sd Coles harbor Southerly
on William Coles Land partly and partly on Land late of Thomas Eldredes Decesed and partly on
the said Cousinses Brook Westerly partly on the Country Roade and partly on the said Thomas
Places Land to him his heirs and assignes for ever.
"Item. I also give to my son Thomas Hassard all my Remaining part of my Said Land Lying in
said Mumford's Island (so called) being the Easternmost half of said Land on the Said Island
bounded Northerly and Easterly on the Salt Water Southerly on Land belonging to Jahleel
Bunton Esqr westerly on the halfe part before given to my Said Son Samuel Hassard to him
his heirs and assigns for ever." Hannah (Slocum) Hazard died on 24 January 1737 in North Kingstown. Thomas married Hannah Updike (1707-????), as his second wife, in May 1738 in North
Kingstown[3,4]. They had two children, registered in South Kingstown:
* Thomas Hazard (1741-????) * Hannah Hazard (1745-1798). The book The Hazard Family of Rhode Island, 1635-1894 by Caroline Robinson Hazard,
published in Boston by the author in 1895, included information about this family[4].
"Thomas Hazard was born July 28, 1707. He was admitted freeman in 1730. By his father's
will he was given three hundred acres in North Kingstown, and a part of Mumford Island in
Point Judith Pond. The three hundred acres in North Kingstown were on the south side of the
road that leads from Bissell's Mills (and is a part of that which is now known as the Hiscox
home farm), and so on west to the country or Post Road. In 1729, Samuel Slocum,
father-in-law to Thomas Hazard, sold to him, in company with his brother, Samuel Hazard,
fourteen acres east of his home lot, with fulling mills and houses. In 1741 Thomas sold his
interest to Daniel Fontain. At the sale there was conveyed fourteen acres of land with 'mills,
houses, fulling mill, tenter, brass and iron press plates, iron bars and a blacksmith shop.' The
whole farm was sold in 1772 to Gervase Elam, and was confiscated in 1775 by the State, Elam
being a royalist and accused of giving assistance to the enemy. About 1741 Thomas Hazard
seems to have moved to South Kingstown, for his children by his second wife were born there,
and their births recorded in that town. In 1748, he was paid 3 pounds, 13 shillings from the
estate of Benjamin Waite, who was a tenant on his three hundred acre farm in North Kingstown.
He married, February 22, 1727, Hannah, daughter of Hon^ble Samuel Slocum. He had a child
by this marriage, "Short" Stephen Hazard, and perhaps other children. The North Kingstown
records are so badly injured by fire that it is impossible to verify this. His wife Hannah died
January 24, 1737. He married, second, in May 1738, Hannah Updike." The death date and place of Thomas Hazard is not known[4]. The last record noted in the Hazard
book is 1748 when he was paid money from an estate. There are no known burial records, and
no known probate records, for Thomas Hazard.
