What is there for genealogists in Second Life?

Posted by tami osmer glatz on October 18, 2009 at 7:30pm

I have been encouraging folks to join the virtual world website Second Life for genealogy lately, but maybe I haven’t been clear enough on exactly why you might want to do that, and what Second Life has to offer genealogists. As always, I’m just going to go at this based on my own experiences, and not on any particular expertise on the subject.1. LEARNOne of the main reasons to spend time in Second Life as a genealogist, is to learn more about genealogy. In Second Life, there are specific areas

Problems With Updates to Record Search

Posted by James Tanner on October 17, 2009 at 5:20pm

October 17, 2009 is the date of the latest announced updates to the FamilySearch Record Search Website. The news release on the Website refers to the Massachusetts Census of 1865 and the Wisconsin Census of 1855. Unfortunately, neither of these collections appear in the list of available collections in the main list. The site also lists the total number of collections as 147. On October 4, 2009 the total was 151. It certainly appears that there are some serious problems with the site. I guess we

Genealogical proof or merely evidence?

Posted by James Tanner on October 16, 2009 at 6:54pm

I find it common that genealogical researchers often confuse evidence with proof. For example, in looking for a birth date of an ancestor, the researcher finds a birth certificate. Although a birth certificate might be good evidence, it is not "proof" of the facts set forth in the document. Birth certificates have known to be wrong and errors are not uncommon. In the absence of any other evidence, the birth certificate may be persuasive as to the fact of birth, but still not be sufficient to est
