german parish books

IaLLS63 — 18 Aug 2008 8:30:37 GMT

I was wondering if I can purchase a copy of a german parish book? My local LDS library is only open 4 days a week for 3 hours at a time. What with the price of gas, odd work schedules and the fact that I can't read german very well, it's gonna take me forever to get through one reel of film. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I have old family tree files. The file extention is UDS. I am trying to get the current Family tree maker to open the files. It will not recognize the files.

How can I convert the old files? Or how can I get FTM to recognize them? the old FTM program backsup the file as a UDS file. It does not create any other files.

Publish Geneology Book

S_Derevage — 17 Apr 2008 1:27:47 GMT

Hey all

I have been working on my family geneolgy for over 20 years. During that time I have also collected old photes and in some cases I have restored them. I want to publish all my research in a book with photos and historical events. I have always visioned it as a hardback and treasured as a family hierloom. I am contacting you all to see if anyone has published there research and could help me in finding a good publisher. There are so many when I research on the internet that I need to contact someone who has this experience.

Thank you all

Not Sure Where This Should Go (Magazines)...

JoshuaPerry20 — 1 Jan 2008 5:15:12 GMT

I was at a local Borders Books store out here in California where I'm staying until next Sunday... When I go back home to Michigan from being out here for the holidays... I picked up a few Genealogy related magazines... A few magazines I picked up are Everton's Genealogical Helper, Family Tree Magazine, Internet Genealogy, and Family Chronical magazine... I really like the Everton magazine... Haven't looked much through the other three... What are some good genealogy related magazines???...

Boston Transcript

DawnMRoush — 2 Jan 2006 3:38:27 GMT

During my searching in Ancestry.com I have found that a lot of my ancestors are mentioned in the Boston Transcript. I have looked all over the internet and cannot find where anyone sells copies of it or archives or has transcribed it anywhere. I have looked in my local libraries and no one has it. Can someone tell me what the Boston Transcript is? Is it a newspaper or a genealogical publication? And can anyone tell me where I can find access to it to look up the articles I'd like to research, please? Thank you for helping!

Quintin Publishing in Florida

anntomica — 3 Dec 2006 2:50:07 GMT

I ordered an out-of-print family history from
QUINTIN PUBLISHING IN FLORIDA recently and am very disappointed. They are "America's Genealogy Store" they say, but they obviously don't stand behind their work!

My copy has pages missing, pages upside down, pages double, and pages in the wrong place.

I have contacted them 3x by email about this in the last 6 weeks and they don't even bother to respond.

So, I'm venting my anger here! At least I didn't order the more expensive hard bound copy! All I can say is, STAY AWAY from their sloppy work.

Microfilm Reader: What and Where to Buy

What are good genealogy books as gifts for Christmas?

birdfan1966 — 6 Nov 2006 11:31:53 GMT

My sister has asked me what I want for Christmas! Any suggestions on what genealogy books are most useful? I have no general resources at home, but do have access to the Handybook etc at the local library. What would all of you diehard genealogists suggest as a good start for your genealogy library? What has been your most useful-can't do-without book? In addition, do any of you research in New York (not NYC) (1800's), Conn. or Mass. (1700-1800's). How about any more specialized books that you can't do without? Would love to hear your suggestions!

UK Vital Records Index

Angela Gregory — 28 Nov 2005 10:56:01 GMT

Hubby has asked what I would like for Xmas, and after thinking long and hard, I've decided the Edition 2 of the UK Vital Records Index might be handy.

However, where does he get it from in the UK? All the searches on the internet point me back to the LDS uk web site, where when you search for VRI or Vital Records it finds nothing to do with the database. Or alternatively it point you to Familysearch.org (presumably the US based site as all the prices are in dollars).

Any help much appreciated.

Standard Genealogy Reference Titles - worth keeping?

L.Taylor — 29 Aug 2004 1:30:18 GMT

Hi,

I have several standard books on genealogical research, the value/worth of which I am debating. These include:

The Handy Book for Genealogists, published by Everton Publishers.
The Library, A Guide th the LDS Family History Library, published by Ancestry.
The Archives, A Guide to the National Archives Field Branches, published by Ancestry.
The Source, A Guidebook of American Genealogy, published by Ancestry.

I am curious, with the growth of the internet as a genealogical tool, over the last 15-20 years, do these books have any particular usefullness to a family researcher whose own research has been progressing slowly for the last 20+ years. I have never used these titles much and wonder if I would be likely to find anything of use in them that I wouldn't find via the net.

Do any of you have any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

L.Taylor

Where to have large family trees printed?

hudson813 — 22 Jul 2003 4:16:15 GMT

Looking for a place that will print large family trees.

Would like input on product idea

Bud Keeton — 22 Jul 2003 4:43:42 GMT

I am a woodworker who has been engraving carving wood for years. I am also researching my family genealogy had an idea that I hope will be well recieved. I can engrave your family tree into a wood placque that would endure for generations as an heirloom of your family history. I have done hundreds of engravings for years but only had this idea today. These placques could be produced for as low as $100.00us for a simple three generation tree or larger more intricate works as low as $0.50us per letter. Artwork, design, borders, wood species finish could all be custom prepared. The lifespan of these placques, with proper care, could be hundreds of years.
Please let me know what you think of this idea! budkeeton@aol.com

Should a copy of research cost $125?

Ian — 22 Jul 2003 4:39:29 GMT

I have learned of someone that was commissioned to research my father's side of my family. I have made contact with this person and made arrangements to get a copy of the booklet. I stated that I would be willing to pay for the booklet, but was told by this person that they were not sure as to the cost and would contact me soon. I received an e-mail today stating that a copy of the booklet would cost me $125, plus the cost of copying, but was given no page count other than "a lot".

Is this a fair price for a copy of this book? Should I negotiate? Should I pass on this?

THANK YOU for your responses!!
