Genealogy Research Hot Tip for Sept. 16th, 1999
Book Review --> "County Courthouse Book", by: Elizabeth Petty Bentley

******************************

Subject: Genealogy Research - Book Review - "County Courthouse Book", by: Elizabeth Petty Bentley

This review is from, Barnes & Noble Online. The book referred to here can also be located at, Barnes & Noble Online or at your local library with the ISBN.

"County Courthouse Book", by: Elizabeth Petty Bentley
Format: Paperback, 2nd ed., 405pp.
Publisher: Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc.
Price: $34.95
ISBN: 0806314850


Synopsis:
This book provides information on locating "county courthouse records: land, naturalization, probate, and vital records (e.g., marriage, divorce, birth, and death). Bentley sent questionnaires to 3,351 courthouses throughout the U.S. and received replies from 55 percent of them. She provides names, addresses, telephone numbers, and dates of organization for all county courthouses, whether or not they responded to the questionnaire. States are arranged alphabetically, as are the counties within each state. . . . Each state listingbegins with a . . . description of that state's court system and identifies counties in each judicial district." (Booklist)

Reviews and Commentary from Barnes and Noble
We love reading reviews-and the more of them, the better. We didn't write the reviews below (other people did), but we thought you'd be interested in their comments.

From Booknews:
A guide to American county courthouses, for genealogical researchers, with contact information, details on coverage and availability of courthouse records, search services and fees, and historical data on the counties. Also includes contacts for city, town, and probate district record-holders in selected New England states, plus contacts in American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

From Library Journal:
The second edition of Bentley's County Courthouse Book joins her Genealogist's Address Book (LJ 4/1/95. 3d ed.) to provide essential resource tools for genealogists and other researchers. An exhaustive revision of the 1990 original (LJ 9/1/90), this edition features updated coverage of 3,125 county jurisdictions and 1,577 New England towns and independent Virginia cities. This and other information was primarily obtained through a questionnaire yielding a 65 percent response rate. Entries for each county courthouse are arranged by state and county and give the current address and phone number. While this book will be heavily used by myriad genealogists around the world, it can also be useful to other researchers regarding land title, property rights, and inheritance. Libraries that bought the 1990 edition will need to purchase this second edition, since it will be essential to both the institutional and home market for genealogists and others whose research demands these resources.-Judith P. Reid, Library of Congress

Genealogy Research Hot Tip for Sept. 16th, 1999
Data Archives --> Index To Recent Death Notices In Sydney, Australia Newspapers

******************************

Subject: Genealogy Research - Index To Recent Death Notices In Sydney, Australia Newspapers

The following article is from Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter and is copyright 1997 by Richard W. Eastman and Ancestry, Inc. It is re-published here with the permission of the author.

"Index To Recent Death Notices In Sydney, Australia Newspapers" by: Richard W. Eastman

Genealogists in Australia must have a unique sense of humor. One of the largest genealogy societies there has a rather unique name: The Dead Persons Society. Despite the humorous name, this society is a very dedicated group involved in several serious efforts designed to help all genealogists researching Australian ancestry.

John Graham, a member of the Dead Persons Society, sent along this article about their latest effort:

Late in 1998, the Sydney branch of the Dead Persons Society commenced indexing death and obituary notices appearing in both local daily newspapers, the "Sydney Morning Herald" and the "Daily Telegraph". A web site was established to give wide access to these indexes. Indexing commenced with the "Daily Telegraph" of October 12th, 1998, and with the "Sydney Morning Herald" of November 2nd, 1998.

It was the intention at the time to continue indexing forward as the newspapers are published, and to investigate methods of indexing other issues backdated from our starting point. Our initial estimate was that the "Herald" publishes about 15,000 death notices and 800 obituaries each year, while the "Telegraph" publishes about 5,000 death notices and 100 obituaries.

The format of the death indexes for both newspapers is the same, and includes name, date of death, age, location details and publication date. Obituary indexes are in different formats for each newspaper, due to the differing information published, but both include at least name, birth and death years, and publication details.

All issues of both newspapers since the starting dates have been indexed, and this process continues. Access by one member to back issues of the "Herald" for 1998 meant that we could start the back-indexing process quickly, and these notices (both death and obituary) have currently been indexed back to July.

In May this year, the DPS was extremely grateful to receive what could only be described as a "hoard" - a virtually complete run of death notices saved from the "Herald" since 1985! Our idea of back-indexing could now commence in earnest.

Now, in mid-August, the web site contains over 50,000 entries relating to "Herald" deaths, about 4,500 to "Telegraph" deaths, over 900 to "Herald" obituaries, and over 100 to "Telegraph" obituaries. The "Herald" death entries are growing at about 15,000 per month (1,500 current, the remainder historical).

An additional index was also started at the same time, to include those entries in the "RSVP" column of the "Herald". This column is a repository of public notices, about two-thirds of which have a genealogical content. This index currently contains about 300 entries.

Our short-term target is to complete indexing "the hoard" by the end of 2000, at which time it is estimated that there will be approximately 200,000 entries in the "Herald" death index. At this time, we will investigate the possibility of progressing back beyond 1985. It is also expected that the indexes will be made available on CD-ROM at this time, if the demand is sufficient.

Indexing is carried out by members of the DPS, using software written specifically for the project. Notices for each day are emailed to a central co-ordinator, who adds them to the master database, and each month regenerates the web site. The web pages have been deliberately created in a very plain format, to ensure speedy loading and to make sure that those users who pay their ISP by the megabyte are not disadvantaged.

The Indexes can be found at http://www.southernx.com.au/dps/dpsindex.htm. Queries about the project can be directed to the co-ordinator, John Graham, at johngrah@ozemail.com.au, or to the Sydney DPS mailing list at DPS-SYDNEY-L@rootsweb.com.

Genealogy Research Hot Tip for Sept. 17th, 1999
Book Review--> "State Census Records" by: Ann S. Lainhart

******************************
This review is from, Barnes & Noble Online. The book referred to here can also be located at, Barnes & Noble Online or at your local library with the ISBN.

"State Census Records" by: Ann S. Lainhart

Format: Hardcover
Pub. Date: December 1995
Price: $12.56


Synopsis:
This work examines "censuses conducted by the states and the prestatehood territories. . . . Arranged alphabetically by state, the entries begin with the current location(s) of manuscript copies of the censuses and then detailthe kinds of information found in each. When appropriate, entries are divided county by county and sometimes district by district. Reference is made to published sources of the data, extant indexes and indexes in progress, and sources and procedures for research assistance offered by state and local agencies. . . . Information is provided for 44 states." (Booklist)

Reviews and Commentary from Barnes and Noble
We love reading reviews-and the more of them, the better. We didn't write the reviews below (other people did), but we thought you'd be interested in their comments.

From BookList:
Genealogists, demographers, and social historians will welcome the publication of "State Census Records", which systematically inventories censuses conducted by the states and the prestatehood territories. These records were compiled at various times for different reasons; some are voter-registration lists, some are tax rolls, and some are simple enumerations to justify defense measures or granting statehood. Their value has long been recognized for their usefulness in filling gaps left by missing federal censuses and for information that complements federal censuses. State censuses often asked different questions than the federal censuses regarding naturalization, education, parents' place of marriage, and details of military service. Local census takers occasionally added notes of personal interest, such as "Oldest person in town" and "Born at sea." In addition, state censuses are opened to the public more quickly than allowed by the federal census' 72-year moratorium.

Preparing for a speech at the 1988 convention of the Federation of Genealogical Societies, the author discovered that earlier attempts to describe state censuses were incomplete and sometimes inaccurate. She surveyed state archives, libraries, and historical societies and compiled an inventory for the convention. Lainhart subsequently contacted genealogists and local historians in each state to update, revise, and expand the 1988 booklet to its present format

Arranged alphabetically by state, the entries begin with the current location (s) of manuscript copies of the censuses and then detail the kinds of information found in each. When appropriate, entries are divided county by county and sometimes district by district. Reference is made to published sources of the data, extant indexes and indexes in progress, and sources and procedures for research assistance offered by state and local agencies. Credit is given to local experts who provided information for the survey, offering yet another lead for persistent researchers Information is provided for 44 states.

The author asserts that no state or territorial censuses exist for Connecticut, Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Vermont; however, she includes entries for Kentucky, Montana, and Ohio that describe potentially useful demographic records, such as school, tax, and voter lists.

A curious omission is West Virginia, which has no entry and is not listed among the states without such records. While it is logical to examine Virginia's records for pre-1863 information, West Virginia later produced its own tax lists and rosters of veterans and veterans' widows This volume offers pragmatic information about accessing valuable data and should be part of every collection that supports research in American genealogy and history.

From Library Journal:
Census, the number-one source in genealogy, is a topic in need of detailed finding aids. Nowhere is this more true than for state census records, which rank with federal census records as a major genealogical resource. Some state census records are available only in a state institution, while others exist on microfilm. Some microfilmed records can be obtained on inter library loan from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.

Lainhart's inventory of state census records untangles the availability of state census information with the most comprehensive list ever published. Until now, we have relied on Henry J. Dubester's pioneering booklet, State Census: An Annotated Bibliography of Censuses of Population Taken After the Year 1790 by States and Territories of the United States (1948), and several articles.

Lainhart's book lists for each state what is available, where it is located, and what kind of data are included. By adding a new and welcome dimension to the census research process, his book is an essential acquisition for institutions and individuals engaged in census research. While genealogists will find the book invaluable, it should also have broad appeal to social science researchers, lawyers, demographers, and others.-- Judith P. Reid, Library of Congress

Genealogy Research Hot Tip for Sept. 19th, 1999
Book Review--> "Yankeys Now: Immigrants in the Antebellum U.S.,1840-1860". by: Joseph P. Ferrie

******************************
EH.NET BOOK REVIEW - Published by EH.NET (August 1999)

"Yankeys Now: Immigrants in the Antebellum U.S.,1840-1860". by: Joseph P. Ferrie,
Format: cloth, xii + 223 pp.
Pub: New York: Oxford University Press,
Pub. Date: 1999.
Cost; $49.95
ISBN: 0-19-510934-1

Reviewed for EH.NET by Richard H. Steckel, Department of Economics, Ohio State University.

Immigration and mobility are fundamental features of American history. Trans-Atlantic migration, western settlement, urbanization, and social fluidity all played an important role in shaping the United States. Unlike the situation in many European countries, however, the records for studying these phenomena are rather thin. Governments in the United States never maintained population registers, and systematic registrations of births and deaths were not well underway until the turn of the twentieth century. Census manuscript schedules have been widely used to glimpse families at a point in time, but it has been difficult for historians to trace and to assess the significance of what is known to be a central feature of the past and an important aspect of the present.

In _Yankeys Now_ Joseph Ferrie breaks considerable new ground in the study of mid-nineteenth century immigration and its aftermath. He brings prodigious new longitudinal data to the kitchen, which he artfully seasons with other historical sources and skillfully prepares with econometric analysis. Demographic, economic and social historians will feast at this table for years to come.

The quantitative center piece of _Yankeys Now_ is a sample of 2,595 European emigrants who were listed on ship arrival records in the port of New York between 1840 and 1850. All were male family heads or unaccompanied males, of whom 1,456 were located in the 1850 census, 1,647 were located in the 1860 census, and 508 were found in both censuses. For comparison purposes Ferrie also linked a sample of 4,271 native-born Americans and 667 emigrants in the 1850 and 1860 censuses.

Forward linkage in the census was achieved by electronic searches though the names of millions of household heads that were assembled by Mormons to assist in genealogical research. It is doubtful that a linkage project of this scale could have been done readily more than a decade ago, when computers were smaller and software was less developed. Ferrie devises reasonable procedures for determining a match, limiting searches of common names, and testing for representativeness. The percentage of men on ship lists found in either census was about 10.6 per cent, which may seem low, but significant losses are created by underenumeration in the census, mortality, return migration, errors in the indexes, and common names.

The passenger ship lists provide ethnicity and occupation, and linkage with the censuses of 1850 and 1860 also gives county of residence, occupation and wealth (real estate only in 1850). These longitudinal data are used to study geographic, occupational, and wealth mobility.

Although households had many geographic options, Ferrie reports that most chose to remain nearby. The poor were more likely to remain in New York City, but other groups often selected urban life as well, with 45 percent of the British, 60 percent of the Irish, and 41 percent of the Germans settling in cities or towns of the Northeast. Somewhat more than one-half of the immigrants settled in New York, Pennsylvania or Ohio, and the Germans were the only group who gravitated to the west in large numbers. The German migrants to the west chose cities about half the time, establishing large communities in Milwaukee, St. Louis, and Cincinnati.

The book is most informative in tracking economic change. All immigrant groups experienced some occupational mobility from farmer or unskilled to white collar or skilled, most of which was concentrated within a few years of arrival. Literate British and Germans were the most successful, especially if they located in a rapidly growing area of the Northeast or the South. Ferrie suggests that the low upward mobility of the Irish may have resulted from labor market discrimination or from lack of readily transferable general labor market skills.

Study of wealth ownership shows, however, that the Irish caught up to the Germans and the British by 1860, after controlling for changes in occupation and location. The relative economic position of all immigrants improved with length of time spent in the country. In 1850 they possessed only one-fifth the average wealth of the native born, but by 1860 the share had risen to one-half. Ferrie suggests that with time immigrants were better able to match their skills with opportunities the American economy had to offer.

Scholars have criticized community based studies of social and economic mobility for their possible biases in analyzing only those who persisted. After controlling for age, literacy and other characteristics, Ferrie reports that the upper groups (white collar, skilled, and farmers) of natives and immigrants who moved were somewhat more likely to lose occupational status. The unskilled who left did no worse than those who remained behind. Community based studies therefore underestimate the extent of upward and downward mobility.

If immigration had a substantial effect on natives, one would expect to notice the results during the high immigration rates of the mid-nineteenth century. Ferrie analyzes this impact using a mover/stayer framework in which the choices are urban places in the Northeast, rural places in the Northeast, and locations outside the Northeast. Estimates of this model indicate that immigration lowered the incomes of skilled workers, but in contrast to other studies, the unskilled apparently benefited.

As a reviewer and potential user of the book in the classroom, I have a minor complaint: the lines in several figures, especially 3.1, lack contrast. They are difficult to follow in the original and will be indecipherable if reproduced on overheads. But this is nit picking in a book that gives us such novel and important results through extraordinary effort and ingenuity. Generations of students will compare this book against all others in the field of immigration history.

Richard Steckel is co-editor (with Roderick Floud) of "Health and Welfare during Industrialization" (Chicago, 1997) and (with Michael Haines) of "A Population History of North America", forthcoming.
