PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE: "The Exhibit of March 9-10, 1991"
Ruth Metzler On the 6th day of the Great Ice Storm, our RGS exhibit opened at Irondequoit Mall in suburban Rochester, NY. To entice passersby, we displayed WHY ARE THERE NO TALL GRANDMAS? (1990) a humorous guide for genealogists by Scott Chase, RGS Member #702. To ease the pain of publishing, Stan Ames, RGS #524 was there with his book HOW TO WRITE AND PUBLISH YOUR FAMILY HISTORY USING WORDPERFECT (1988). Our display included three Rochester area family histories: (1) PAPROCKI FAMILIES & THOSE DESCENDANTS WHO CAME TO USA (1988) with notes on those remaining in Poland. James Paprocki #697, produced it with a Macintosh, Microsoft Word, charts in Freehand, and printed it on a Laser Writer at Publishers Workshop in Rochester. (2) David McCandlish #462 collected and printed McCANDLISH FAMILY HISTORY (1987) then took a course in bookbinding and bound his book handsomely. (3) Jim Roome #335, contributed his framed and lettered (by him) CHART (1986) showing two descending lines of Thomas Ford, a 1630 Mary and John passenger. (Thomas Ford and wife Elizabeth Charde are not only American ancestors of Jim but also of Diana, Princess of Wales. Jim and his wife were at his English cousin's Royal Wedding 1981.) Also in display were two books to aid researchers: (1) James Ault #351 shared his 1910 CENSUS GUIDE TO ROCHESTER AND MONROE CO., NY (1982). He has donated a copy to the Rochester Public Library, Local Division. Bob Gustafson #13 brought his book for searchers of another time and place - G. W. Lindfors' HISTORY OF KARL GUSTAVS PARISH, 1532-1934, in Swedish (1941). Bob prepared and published an INDEX (1989) of farm ownership and occupancy for this local history book. The hamlet is in the province of Norbottenlan, Swedish Lapland, inside the Arctic Circle and was originally the settlement of a congregation. As our 8 by 10 booth overflowed with member's books and research projects, Paul Neumann #464 ingeniously linked our framed photo collages and hung them on the back wall. Dick Halsey #67 amiably produced "on demand" from his computer any of the 9800 records he had entered into the Genesee Country Family File. Carter Livermore #474 provided information about our Tape-Lending Service; Caroline Jenny #583, Lorna Logan #136, Frances Thirtle #461, and Mr. & Mrs. Howard Richardson #18 answered questions with fervor and experience. Marlin Merrill #334 spoke of his current Project - organizing the papers of his late uncle Arch Merrill, local historian and journalist. Loretta Welch #197 and Geraldine Kingsbury #160 got their heads together over an exciting new project you'll soon hear more about. The warmth and enthusiasm generated at the two-day RGS Exhibit helped us forget the storm outside. On the 7th day of what became a 13-day storm emergency, we dismantled the booth. We went home having learned something from our own exhibit: the Rochester Genealogical Society brings together people of exciting diversity, prodigious scholarship, impresive individualism, and remarkable resourcefulness. |
The Rochester Genealogical Society will continue to meet the third Thursday of each month (except December, July and August), at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, East Avenue and Vick Park B. The mini-workshops will start at 7 PM (except as may be noted for special programs), followed by the business meeting at 7:30 PM and the main program at approximately 8:00 PM.

MEMBER PROJECTS/ACTIVITIES
Julie Steitz
Laurel Gabel #429 has been doing genealogical research since 1964 and became fascinated with gravestone art around 1970. She has been active in the Association for Gravestone Studies for the past ten years and is currently their research director. Her job in this capacity involves answering gravestone related questions which come to the association and discovering all she can about the men who did the carving on the stones that make up the Farber photographic collection: a visual resource of over 15,000 photographs of pre-1800 gravestones. Laurel has an impressive library and material about early gravestones and funeral customs. She is currently putting Boston and Salem gravestones into her computer and would be happy to search for up to five requests if you have ancestral connections to these Massachusetts cities, (SASE please)
She and Ted Chase, current president of the New England Historical and Genealogical Society are co-authors of a book: "Gravestone Chronicles: Some Eighteenth Century New England Carvers and Their Work. " Laurel and Mr. Chase have co-authored six articles on genealogy, researching in New England, and gravestone art. She will be presenting three lectures in April and May for the Rochester Museum and Science Center Gannett School on "Graven Images: 18th & 19th Century Gravemarkers and the Stories They Tell," including a walking tour of Mt. Hope Cemetery.
We are proud to claim Laurel as a member of RGS.
Charles H. Sumner #329 currently in charge of our society Book Raffle, is Director of the Sumner Family Association of America. He recently participated in a cemetery association clean up day and is willing to share his experiences.
Genealogists are aware that our government sometimes prevents the free dissemination of information to its citizens. Census records are sealed for several decades, and adoption records are frequently hidden forever. There are other examples of national security and protection of trade secrets where the government cannot reveal certain kinds of information. Many of these rules are justifiable, but we must ask if some are not.
A case in point is the effort of government not only to hide adoption records from view, but to issue false information concerning a persons ancestry. The National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws, whose members are appointed by state governors, has been rewriting its Uniform Adoption Law. Provisions of the old uniform law will, if not changed, make genealogy an impossible activity within a few decades. The issuance of "amended" birth certificates and the iron-clad rules against revealing biological birth records of adoptees, even after their death, will result in an of our descendants not knowing whether their ancestry is truth or fiction within a few decades.
The statistical basis for this assertion is ably set forth by Brice M. Clagett in the NGS Newsletter, Vol. 16, No. 5 (1990). Be sure to read his article. It's scary.
Fortunately, there is a large area of probable compromise between those legitimate concerns for the privacy of birth parents and adoptees, and the equally compelling needs of genealogists, historians, and genetic researchers. The middle ground ("saddle point" in game theory parlance) is to allow public access to adoption records only after those directly involved are dead, or have given their permission. This protects any legitimate privacy interests, but yet recognizes those old genealogical closet skeletons for what they are: A cause of pain and tribulation for some ancestors, but definitely not a family disgrace nor a reason for government to protect us from our ancestral mistakes.
This issue has been addressed by the New England Historic Genealogical Society and by the Society of American Archivists in recommendations to the Conference. The Rochester Genealogical Society is sending a letter to the NGS supporting Mr. Clagett's views and those of the NEHGS and the SAA. We encourage any other genealogical societies to which you may belong to write letters in support of maximum openness, and minimum hiding of the truth.
Genealogical organizations that wish to take a position on these issues may forward their comments to the NGS Newsletter Editor, 4527 17th Street North, Arlington VA 22207-2399.Comments received from an organization, on official letterhead and signed by an officer, will be forwarded to the appropriate persons at the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.

Orphan Train Information Being Gathered
Dick Halsey By 1910, the Children's Aid Society of New York City had taken over 150,000 orphaned, abandoned, homeless children west seeking new homes. Many other children were brought by the NY Foundling Hospital and other social agencies. Today the Orphan Train Heritage Society of America, Inc., preserves the history of this era (1854-1929) known as the "orphans trains" period. Gatherings of Orphan Train Riders, descendants of Orphan Train Riders, friends and interested persons are held in various locations. In 1991, gatherings will be held in California, Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, Nebraska and Arkansas. If you would like to be informed of the dates and locations, please write to OTHSA, 4912 Trout Farm Rd., Springdale, AR 72764 requesting to be on the notification list. For a sample newsletter, CROSSROADS, include $3.00. If you have information about an Orphan Train Rider or events surrounding the placing-out, please share you knowledge with OTHSA. This central clearing-house for information gathers, documents, preserves and shares history. |
ROOSEVELTS ROUGH RIDERS:
I am trying to find out about the 1200 men who joined and fought with this unit but for most of these men I have discovered little more than name, age and address. I would like to know about their lives before joining and after their service. Most of the information available only brings to life the more famous officers. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has a Rough Rider as an ancestor and any information they or anyone else could supply. Karen Green, Sul Ross State University Box 5048, Alpine, TX 79830 |
FAMILY ASSOCIATION PRESENTS PLAQUE TO PARISH CHURCH
Jim Roome
The Towne Family Association last fall, made a pilgrimage to East Anglia and the old St. Nicholas Parish Church of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England where founders of the American family were married in the 17th century. A bronze memorial plaque was presented to the church which read:
Upon entering the church and displayed under glass was the very parish record book where the marriage is recorded. It was open to that page.
The plaque was designed by Jim Roome on his computer using a graphic arts program. He over saw its manufacture and also was the tour leader of thirty members of the Towne Family who spent some two weeks touring East Anglia visiting many many old parishes and churches where English Townes lived in the 16th century. Jim stayed in London two weeks doing research at the British Library Manuscripts section and the Society of Genealogists. Also considerable information was found about the Towne family in Archives in Lincoln. There are hundreds of people living in the Rochester area that are related to the above couple including those associated with the Estey family. The above Max Towne (Jim's ancestor) married Isaac Esty. Ichabod Town for which Shelden Fisher's Valentown Hall in Victor, NY is named was a member of this family.

FUNERAL LIST FROM DIARY OF REV. J. T. HUMPHREY
Julie Steitz
Rev. Humphrey was minister to the Methodist Episcopal Church in Penfield, Monroe Co., New York. The original diary, in the hands of a descendant, was photo copied by the historian of the Methodist Church and given to the Penfield Local History library. It is presumed that if another locality is not specifically listed, the "place" is Penfield.
