Be careful if you join "One Great Family"
Topic: General

I have really mixed feelings about a new website called One Great Family. I have their search box below, and you can try it if you want to; but please keep the following info in mind. Apparently this website's main function is to blend together family trees of all participants in one place. One of the things they do is add to the tree you upload automatically. But what happens if the data they upload was researched by someone who just didn't know what they were doing? What if they add the wrong John Smith or the tree of the wrong Mary Jones? You'll have a tree that is incorrect and that is no good to anyone, especially YOUR family.

Admittedly, sharing with others is a good idea. But I recommed one-on-one sharing where notes can be compared and it can be confirmed that you are talking about the same people, and have documentation to prove it. My opinion is "Buyer Beware."

Relocation of Seneca and Cornplanter Cemeteries
Topic: Historical data

When the Kinzua Dam was contructed, the Cornplanter Tract, also known as the Cornplanter Reservation, was inundated with water and now lies under the Allegheny reservoir. Many of the graves at various Seneca cemeteries were moved. The following lsit is from the data of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh. The names of these cemteries may aid those people searching for Seneca ancestors.

Kinzua Cemetery approximately 1,336 graves, and Morrison Run Cemetery, 62 to 89 graves, were relocated to Willow Dale Cemetery in Bradford,Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh District records show 1467 remains were removed and 40 others were also moved, but the location is not shown.

Cornplanter Cemetery and the Cornplanter Monument were relocated to the Riverview-Corydon Cemetery .

Three small cemeteries in Cattaraugus County, New York, were re-interred as a new addition to Steamburg Cemetery. The three were Greenwood, 451 graves; Stryker ,21 graves, and Moore, 13 graves. Some additional remains went to other unidentified cemeteries.

Cemeteries of the Seneca Nation located on the Allegany Indian Reservation, Cattaraugus County, New York were also relocated. A large number, 1757, went to Hillside Haven Cemetery, and 1297 were moved to Memorial Heights Cemetery in Red House, New York. Cemeteries that were on Seneca land, and then moved include the following:

• Alfred Jones Cemetery
• Blacksnake Cemetery
• Christobel Pierce Cemetery
• Clark Residence Cemetery
• Cooper Family Cemetery
• Crouse-Patterson Cemetery
• Halftown Cemetery
• Henry Redeye Cemetery
• Jacob Logan Cemetery
• Jerome Snow Cemetery
• Jimerson Family Cemetery
• Old Town Cemetery
• Onoville Cemetery
• Oscar Nephew Cemetery
• Phillip Fatty Cemetery
• Quaker Bridge Community Cemetery
• Red House Cemetery
• Shongo Cemetery
• Watt Cemetery

Indians Marked "White" on a U.S. Federal Census
Topic: General

There are several misconceptions about how Indians are identified, or not, on a U.S. Federal census. Although there are many rules over the years regarding Indians taxed and those not taxed, what I want to address in this post is the misconception that if your ancestor was recorded as "white," then they must have been white. 

This is absolutely not true!

In 1870, the rule for census enumerators was:

By the phrase 'Indians not taxed' is meant Indians living on reservations under the care of Government agents, or roaming individually, or in bands, over unsettled tracts of country."

"Indians not in tribal relations, whether full-bloods or half-breeds, who are found mingled with the white population, residing in white families, engaged as servants or laborers, or living in huts or wigwams on the outskirts of towns or settlements are to be regarded as a part of the ordinary population of the country for the constitutional purpose of the apportionment of Representatives among the States, and are to be embraced in the enumeration."

But here, my dears, is one of the most important instructions provided by the government for the 1870 census:

"Where persons reported as 'Half-breeds' are found residing with whites, adopting their habits of life and methods of industry, such persons are to be treated as belonging to the white population. Where, on the other hand, they are found in communities composed wholly, or mainly of Indians, the opposite construction is taken."

Ergo, if they were known as half-breeds or mixed bloods, living in the general white population, they would be listed as white, not Indian. So, don't let anyone tell you that your family was not of Indian heritage based on a white designation on a census!!!!!!!!

National Archives Seeks Public Comments
Topic: News
Dear Genealogist:

The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is seeking public comment on its draft Plan for Digitizing Archival Materials for Public Access, 2007-2016. This draft plan outlines our planned strategies to digitize and make more accessible the historic holdings from the National Archives of the United States. A copy of the draft is available at http://www.archives.gov/comment/digitizing-plan.html.

The document is divided into several sections. The first section, INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND, provides information on NARA's mission, our archival holdings, and our past experience with digitization, to give you the context of the draft Plan for Digitizing Archival Materials for Public Access, 2007-2016. Section II, PLAN OVERVIEW, describes our planned goals, activities, and priorities for digitization. Sections III through V provide listings of current digitization activities being carried out by NARA and through partnerships to digitize and make available archival materials. Appendix A contains draft operating principles that we are using as we enter into partnerships and Appendix B references relevant NARA guidance that applies to handling of archival materials being digitized and the technical guidelines for image creation and description. NARA in particularly wants your comments on Sections II, III, V, and Appendix A.

It is important that we receive as much public input on this plan as possible so that our plans adequately reflect the needs of the public.

Comments are due to NARA by: November 9, 2007. Send comments to: Vision@nara.gov or by fax to 301-837-0319

Thank you for taking the time to comment. Please forward this e-mail to any other genealogist that you may know.
