Message from the President -- E. H. Gaulin As I take office I can't help but wonder what the next few years will bring for our members and the organization. Hosting the Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) National Conference next August here in Rochester will surely be the highlight of our activities for many years to come. The renovation and expansion of the Rundell Memorial Library, a long overdue but none the less noteworthy project, is bound to rank high in the interest of our local membership. The steady membership growth of the Rochester Genealogical Society and the record attendance of its members are indications of the health of our organization and the success of our program over the past fifty or so years. Our newsletter, Hear Ye Hear Ye, is well respected in the field and widely read. This September marks the beginning of the fifth year of our large and very active Computer Interest Group (CIG), one of only a few of its kind in New York State and probably the country. So apparently we have done many things right, but this is no time to relax. Preparations for the FGS Conference, dubbed In Your Ancestors Image to be held 14-17 August 1996 at the Riverside Convention Center in Rochester is our most immediate and important activity. It will be demanding of all of us. As the host society we must insure that our guests, perhaps several thousand of them, are properly welcomed, registered, housed, fed, and entertained. In addition, these visitor genealogists must be given the finest, most informative program possible and the best regional activities we are capable of providing. FGS has an experienced national staff to guide these efforts, but the bulk of the work will be borne by RGS local member volunteers. If you haven't offered your help and support yet, I encourage you to contact one of the RGS conference staff people right now. They have exactly the right job for you. While the conference retains our close attention, we will still be presenting an exciting series of monthly programs to our membership at our monthly get-togethers. The meeting format remains the same, a short educational workshop, followed by a brief RGS business meeting. After refreshments and a socialization period, the program highlight begins. Usually a speaker recognized for achievement in his field delivers an addresses on a subject of general interest and appeal to our membership. Frequently our speakers are humorous, many times dynamic but always informative. The CIG will also continue to provide members with the information they need to pursue their electronic genealogical interests. New software and hardware will be reviewed and demonstrated, on-line systems will be discussed and evaluated; helpful hints, tips, and technical assistance will usually be on hand; and extensive handouts are always available at each meeting. The Mt. Hope Cemetery Computerization Project, Part I, should be published, and perhaps Part II begun later this year. Thanks to one of our members RGS has a home page on the INTERNET, the Information Super Highway. I know that you will be hearing much more about this later. Finally, I think it is important to acknowledge and appropriately recognize those people who have worked so hard to make this organization one in which you are proud to be a member. The hazard of anyone attempting this recognition is the unintentional omission of contributor. I will avoid that by thanking each of you for your suggestions, advice and assistance over the years. Additionally, I believe it is important to specifically acknowledge those members whose terms have just expired as officers of RGS; Jim Hall, our outgoing President; Ruth Metzler, the Immediate Past President; Bob Rowe, a director; Anne Dewitt, Recording Secretary and the co-editors of the Hear Ye, Jim Paprocki and Judy Markham. They performed their official functions in an exemplary manner and Im sure we will continue to benefit from their membership. Thank you for your faith in me and I hope I may live up to your expectations during my term. Please call or write me with your advice (the latter would be best). Continued good hunting! |

The RGS October Meeting is in Irondequoit
Events beyond our control force us to change the location of our October meeting. Our regular meeting will be held at the Irondequoit United Church of Christ, 644 Titus Avenue, Irondequoit. The Church is located near the corner of Cooper Road and there is adequate parking in the church lot, entered from Titus. Additional parking is available in the Chase Manhattan Bank lot next door, entered from Cooper Road. The West Irondequoit Library behind the church has still more parking, also entered from Cooper Road. Call "Ozzie" Salyards if you need directions to the church. Our meeting will be in the downstairs dining room and begins at 7PM. Enter the building from the parking lot and use the stairs to the right. Follow the signs to the dining room. Handicapped accessibility is through the rear door. Notify someone at the side door that the elevator is needed. We will return to Asbury First Methodist Church for the remainder of our meetings this year and we apologize for the inconvenience. | |
Earlier this year a team from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) was in Rochester to microfilm most of the burial records at one of the areas oldest cemeteries, Mt. Hope. The film crew has finished their work and the microfilm is available for your use at any of the more than 2,400 LDS Family History Centers (FHC) around the world.
Mt. Hope Cemetery is the final resting place of such notables as Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, but they share these beautiful, park-like grounds with perhaps a quarter-million lesser known people who died since 1837. Interments are listed chronologically in eleven huge volumes stored at the cemetery office. Volume One includes the early records of Mt. Hope along with nine other local cemeteries. All of this has now been reproduced on five reels of microfilm. Four reels are currently available and Reel #5 is expected to be released in February 1996.
The importance of these films to area genealogists has not escaped the notice of officials at our local Family History Centers. The directors of both the Brighton and Pittsford FHC have authorized the Mt. Hope films be made permanently available at their respective facilities. These are now in place for your immediate use, completely free of charge.

Gateway to the West Seminar
-- June Feder, RGS
The Berkshire Family History Association has scheduled their 12th annual seminar for Saturday, 30 Sept 1995 at the Koussevitzky Arts Center, Pittsfield, MA. Gateway to the West is the theme of this one-day, modestly priced ($35) event. Speakers will guide you through Ethnic Research in Urban Areas, Bridging the Atlantic, French-Canadian Genealogy, and Polish-Eastern European Research.
Pittsfield is also the home of the Regional Branch of the National Archives and the local public library has an excellent genealogical collection. Just four hours or so away via the NYS Thruway, you might want to spend a few days there. For additional information call (413) 445-5521.
The only overturned, face-down gravestone in the cemetery is grandpa's?
The blot on the page of the census covers grand mother's birthdate?
Your ancestors will leaves his estate to his beloved wife and children, but doesn't name them?
The person next to you in the library has all the luck and you can't find a thing?
The information you so desperately need could be found only on the 1890 census (burned)?
Just as you are hot on the trail of a lost ancestor, its always time for the library to close?
The census enumerator missed the entire section where all of your family lived?
You received that long-awaited death certificate, and under MOTHER and FATHER it says: unknown?
Computer Interest Group News
-- E. H. Gaulin, Past Chairman
About five years ago a dozen or so RGS members gathered around a few tables in the basement of the East lrondequoit Library to spend an hour or two talking about how they use their computers for genealogical work. We have met each month of the school year since then to continue those discussions. Instead of a handful of participants, now as many as 50 or 60 attend each of the monthly sessions.
Our success, evidenced by our growth in membership (which now stands at about 125), has forced us to find a larger facility for our meetings. It is difficult to describe computer applications, especially to a large group, with word pictures alone. Presenters at our meetings have found it necessary to employ transparencies and to use extensive handouts to make their point in the past. Recently one of members, Tim Carrol, introduced us to some expensive video equipment that allows the demonstrator to project the computer screen image to wall size. This clearly shows the audience what an application can do, step by step, keystroke by keystroke. Everyone really likes it. Our current meeting facility with its columns and low ceilings doesn't lend itself to use of projection equipment or to groups of our present size. So we have been looking for a new location and will try several to see how the membership likes them.
The first meeting of the CIG for the 1995 - 1996 year is scheduled for 14 September in the Auditorium of the Brighton Town Hall, 2600 Elmwood Avenue. We will move to the Webster Public Library, located behind the Town Hall, for our 12 October meeting.
The leadership of the CIG has also changed. I am pleased to announce that Stan Hazen of Rochester has agreed to assume responsibility for the group effective with the October meeting. An active guy since his retirement, he teaches, writes and lectures, in addition to his computer and genealogical work. We all look forward to working with Stan. Longtime RGS member and a CIG founder, Bob Hasselberth will chair the September meeting.
Jim Hall will continue to prepare the monthly meeting notes, Tim Carrol will stay on top of CIG membership, Debbie Barnes has agreed to continue the management of our extensive DOS computer disk library and Harry Long the MAC disk collection. Many thanks to each of them for their efforts. I especially want to thank all of those who shared their experiences with the CIG by making the really great presentations over the past few years.
The forthcoming year should be an exciting one for the CIG. New hardware, new applications, software, a new operating system, the World Wide Web and the Internet will provide plenty of interesting things to talk about in our group. Come and join us!
Dick Halsey, our indefatigable Membership Chairman, has recently created an "RGS Homepage" on the Internet. Our homepage is available 24-hours a day, worldwide, to almost anyone with a home computer. It provides RGS membership and meeting information, in addition to tidbits of local genealogical data. Crank up your modem and take a look - http//www.vivanet.com/~halsey/rgs.html. You may use the homepage to E-Mail comments, suggestions, or any other information you wish to share. The homepage was recently cited in the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle Newspaper as an excellent local source for genealogy research guidance.

RGS has a Telephone Number and Voice Mail
Effective immediately RGS, perhaps for the first time ever, has a telephone number. This is a service which will provide a messsage to callers with membership information and meeting times. In the unlikely event that a meeting must be cancelled due to weather callers will receive that information. An added benefit is the availability of Voice Mail. If you would like to leave a verbal message for one of the officers of RGS you may now do so. The staff will check for their messages on a regular basis. Please make note of the number: (716) 234-2584. It will appear In the next edition of the Rochester Telephone Directory. Thanks to our new Treasurer Roy Thurston for setting this up. |
DID YOU KNOW?
That inexpensive booklets on genealogical research in Canada, England, Ireland, Wales, Germany, and the United States are available at your local LDS Family History Center? These excellent publications, 35 to 60 pages each in length, are called Research Outlines and have current information on records in that locality. They are also published for each U.S. State and Canadian Province as well as some other areas. |
|
Anyone Have A Newspaper? -- Scott Chase, Publicity Local publicity for the 1996 FGS/RGS Conference is going into high gear. The Newspaper Column Committee has collected more than two dozen interesting and informative genealogical articles ready for publication. However, we havent been able to fmd a newspaper that will accept them. Any ideas? |
RGS Officer Gets NYSCOGO Post
Longtime RGS member and officer, Julie Steitz, was elected to a two-year term as Vice President of the New York State Council of Genealogical Organizations (NYSCOGO). Congratulations. |
|
Please note that effective 1 Sep. 1995 the Family History Center, 1400 Westfall Road, Brighton will be closed on Mondays. The remainder of the schedule is unchanged. |
Necrology
We mourn the passing of two of longtime colleagues, Edwina Powers Ames and Juanita G. Swanton. "Eddie" Ames and Dr. Stanley R. Ames of Irondequoit shared almost 53 years of marriage. Juanita Swanton of Penfield was a retired educator and a good neighbor. They will we missed. |
FGS National Conference Chairman Gordon L. Remington met with the Local Arrangements Team in late April for a progress report and information exchange. The Team continues to meet on a bi-monthly schedule to review planning and scheduling. The next meeting of the Team will be in mid-September just prior to the Seattle FGS Conference of 13-16 September 1995. All RGS members are invited to attend these meetings to find out where they can help. Call Jim Hall at 265-9514 for the meeting location and schedule.
Publicity for the Conference continues with flyers distributed at the NEHGS meeting at Boston in mid-July. A banner has been designed for use at the Seattle Conference and will be a feature at future RGS meetings. Let us know if you have suggested locations for the banner, 3 wide x 9 long. Rochester Conference Publicity stickers will be distributed on conferees name tags at Seattle and will likely show up on RGS members name tags. Worldwide attention is being drawn to the conference by Dick Halsey's (RGS Membership Chairman) homepage on the Internet (see RGS IS ON THE INTERNET).
Conference Exhibitors will begin requesting booth space soon after the Seattle Conference. A broad range of applicants are expected to give a variety of product and service presentations at the Rochester Conference Center.
Call for Conference Volunteers
An RGS committee has been working on this for almost two years and the FGS people even longer, but now it is less than a year away. A great deal of help is now required to insure that this will be a truly great genealogical gathering and an outstanding experience for all of us. Volunteers are needed to staff the registration and hospitality desks, to monitor facilities use, and for other important activities during the conference. There are also a number of pre-conference activities that must be staffed, such as publicity.
FGS has a policy of compensating volunteers during the conference if their duties restrict the person from participating in the conference. For each four hours of service, the volunteer is refunded the equivalent of a one-day conference fee, so a three-day registrant would receive a return of one-third of their registration fee, while a single-day registrant would have their entire fee returned.
Show your support and volunteer today! You may call or write Lowell "Ozzie" Salyards, 249 Belcoda Dr., Rochester, NY 14617-2948; tele (716) 544-4783.
That The John and Elizabeth Curtis/Curtiss Society (of Nazing England and Stratford, CT), a family association, is having their 56th annual reunion in Rochester next month (14 October 1995)? Curtis descendants and all others are invited to attend. Call RGS member and Curtis Society President, Barbara Curtis Weaver at (716) 265-0621 for details.

Each year RGS receives numerous requests for genealogical information directly from our members, some by blind solicitation, and others from various organizations. Normally these requests are treated as genealogical queries and placed in that section of the Hear Ye, but many times the requestor asks for a researcher and offers to pay for the service. Unfortunately RGS cannot recommend any particular person, nor do we maintain a list of professional genealogists. Each of us has been frustrated by research dead ends and unanswered letters seeking assistance. To that end, listed below are the recent requests for help from individuals who have offered to pay for the service. You may contact them directly and make your own arrangements for the work and payment. RGS cannot be involved in anyway in this program. Let us know what you think of this feature.
