APG has joined forces with other genealogical organizations including the National Genealogical Society (NGS), The Federation of Genealogical Societies (FGS) and the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) in endorsing the position paper and calling on legislators to keep records open. “Public records allow genealogists and other professionals such as medical researchers, journalists, historians and academic researchers to do their jobs,” explains APG President, Jake Gehring. He urges that “concerned citizens tell their representatives that they want to keep public records open.” A group of professional genealogists within APG formed the Keeping Genealogical Records Open Workgroup (KGROW) in 2007 and prepared the position paper. Melinde Lutz Sanborn, FASG (Fellow, American Society of Genealogists) and member of the committee, says, “Open records and transparency in government are the best protections we have against twenty-first century fraud.” The KGROW committee recommends in their paper that “lawmakers respond to the ID theft problem, not try to prevent a nonexistent problem.” Further, they encourage “private companies and government improve their protection of personal data.” The Case for Open Public Records position paper is available on the APG website at . The Association of Professional Genealogists is an independent organization whose worldwide members number over 1,800. The group’s principal purpose is to support professional genealogists in all phases of their work: from the amateur genealogist wishing to turn knowledge and skill into a vocation, to the experienced professional seeking to exchange ideas with colleagues and to upgrade the profession as a whole.

OLD SETTLERS REUNION [1908] Speeches, Banquet and Fraternal Amenities Characterize the Occasion At the Odd Fellows' hall Monday the old settlers of Freeborn county held their annual meeting and banquet. There was a good attendance in spite of the rain and a sociable time was thoroughly enjoyed.  Rev. Dr. Abbott opened the meeting with a prayer then F. A. Barlow read the minutes of the last meeting.  Veggar Gulbrandson then read a list of the members who had passed away during the last year and had their obituaries filed with the secretary. M. V. Kellar moved that the book of records of the society be placed in the library of this city so that it might be preserved.  This book will be valuable to coming generations and the motion passed.  Veggar Gulbrandson brought up the matter of moving the Gulbrandson log house from Gordonsville, the oldest house in the county, to the fair grounds.  He stated that he had bought the house and that everything was ready to move it, but that he did not know where the money was coming from to pay the cost.  The county commissioners would not pay for moving it, and he suggested that the society pay the expenses.  There were several objections to this on the ground that it was not the societies' duty to do it.  This should be attended to at once and it seems a pity that the county or some organization does not take the matter up and preserve the old relic.   The following members were in attendance, A. C. Wedge, Ellen Erickson, David Colvin, Thos. Morgan, Geo. Hyatt, John Skinner, Wm. Horning, Geo. Prescott, A. J. Luther, A. K. Norton, James Forbes, J. E. Simms. M. V. Kellar, J. M. Geissler, Mrs. Botsford, M. F. Armstrong, V. Gulbrandson, F. W. Barlow, Mrs. A. W. White, Mrs. Mary Hord, Mrs. Huyck, Mrs. Chas. Norton, E. Reynolds, Mr. and Mrs. Abbott, Wm. Freeman, Mrs. N. Freeman, Swan Johnson, Ed. Norton, Jacob Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Heman Blackmer, C. B. Kellar, Bennett Porter, Emil Nelson, D. K. Stacy and Mr. and Mrs. Godley. V. Gulbrandson, D. Colvin and Mr. V. Kellar made a committee on removal of the log house. These were elected officers for next year--A. C. Wedge, president, F. W. Barlow, secretary, C. B. Kellar. treasurer.

Friday evening was the occasion of the most interesting basket ball game of the season.  The Pillsbury Academy [Owatonna] team played the A. L. C. girls in the college gym.  The game was well attended by town people who were not disappointed in the supply of excitement. Albert Lea College was compelled to succumb to the superior strength and dexterity of the academy team, who played with unexcelled ease and assurance.  Prof. Sorenson of Pillsbury referred to the first half with his usual efficiency and graciously rendered some valuable assistance in the second as umpire.  The score stood 2 to 5 in favor of the academy team and the hearts of the college, were decidedly in favor of the academy professor, who so gallantly officiated.  His charming and deferential manner made him quite the "gentleman of the hour."  We are grateful that the game proved for him at least, instructive as well as being a delightful diversion and that we were instrumental in pointing out one or two principles of the game which he evidently had overlooked. The visiting team was entertained at the college, and after the game enjoyed a "spread" with the college girls, who, although they lost, are enthusiastic in their praise of Pillsbury's "coach", but hope it will not soon be necessary to renew hostilities with his indomitable squad.  (Freeborn County Standard, Albert Lea, Minn., Wednesday, April 29, 1908, page 1). New Data Base on Ancestry Just for information the following is a new database on Ancestry.com.  Images are actual pages from the list. U.S. IRS Tax Assessments List, 1862-1918 Submitter: Vicki Storlie YOUR QUICK TIPS Ancestry.com, 10 December 2007 Widowed May Not Mean Widowed Don't assume that "wd" means widowed in the census.  There were many more divorces in the nineteenth and early twentieth century than one would guess.  However, many women listed themselves as "widowed" rather than divorced; and men would list themselves as "single."  The women would typically have children with them, so could not easily state they were "single." Many times the men did have the children, so they could more easily call themselves "single" without much question. Do not count the former spouse dead until you find a death record.  I have found this situation several times in may family lines. Submitter:    Tom Humphrey, Jacksonville, Alabama Save Old Address Books Don't overlook old address books for some surprise connections.  My grandfather died at ninety-two, and he kept the same address book for years.  In this address book, addresses were updated by simply marking through and adding the new above or below.  Some of the names had kinship shown, as in "Oliver's granddaughter."  There was also a separate Christmas card list. I was actually able to take some of these names and locations and connect to a lost branch of my family.  Some of the older address books are almost a family history in themselves.  Be sure to keep them when old papers and items are sorted through after death. Submitter: Cheryl Parsons PHOTO SCRAPBOOK Make sure your photos have a future. By Tom Hirsch Let’s say you’ve taken a two-week trip to Hawaii and shot five rolls of film with your 35mm or APS camera, or 300 pictures with your digital camera but only kept 95 of them.  Anyway, you have lots of images.  Okay, when you turn in your film or memory card for processing, you fill out the envelope at the counter. Remember this:  Have them make an index print.  If there is a place to order this on the envelope, check it.  If there isn’t, ask them at the counter to have an index print made. If they don’t offer this service, take your film or memory card down the street to another lab.  The index print will have a small image, or “thumbnail,” of each picture Now, if you’re like most of us, the first thing you want to do when you pick up your pictures from the processor is to look through them quickly, and then show them to family and friends so they can see the great shots you took.  But that’s not what you should do.  You want to avoid the possibility of getting the prints out of sequence, so resist the temptation to open the package of pictures right away. When you get home, place the stack of prints on a table.   By the way, if you shot 35mm or APS film, you should have numbered the envelopes sequentially.  It makes it easier to keep them sequential, though, if each roll of film were numbered with felt-tipped pen as it was shot. Now matching the photos with the thumbnail prints is a snap.  The corresponding picture number will be found on the edge or bottom of each small image on the index print. With a number 2 or other soft-lead pencil, or a ball-point pen if a pencil won’t work, very lightly mark the back of each picture with its corresponding set and negative number.  For consistency, I would mark the prints in the upper left-hand corner.  In the numbering sequence, the first print of the first roll would be marked 1-1, the second print would be 1-2 etc., and the first two prints of the second roll would be 2-1 and 2-2.  With digital, numbering would be sequential, beginning with 1. Some photo finishers automatically number each print in a set.  If that’s the case, all that you film photographers would have to do at this point is write in the roll number on each print. After all the prints in each set have been numbered, you’re ready for the hard part.  It pains me to even think about it: cull.  Go through each set of prints and pull out the ones that don’t live up to your expectations.  Be ruthless.  If a print is fuzzy, pull it.  If it duplicates another print but is inferior to it in composition or other ways, yank it.  If the print doesn’t show what you intended and has no other redeeming qualities, get rid of it. After you have removed all the prints you feel you should, set those pictures aside for a few days. You might want to reconsider some of them, but try not to be too sentimental.  After examining both the keepers and the discard pile one more time, throw the culled photos away.  That way they will be out of your mind, and you won’t be tempted to return them to the pile of good prints. Next, you’ll want to identify all the keepers of that particular experience with a label.  For example, if the pictures were from a trip to Canada in August of 2007, identify them as such.  To make it easy on yourself, use abbreviations.  For example, if you shot 35mm or APS film, the first picture of the first roll of film might be given the label Can. 8-07 1-1.  This would identify the event, the roll, and the frame.  If you use a digital camera, the label might simply be Can. 8-07 1. Once you have matched each photo with its corresponding index print image, culled out the pictures to be discarded and labeled the ones to be kept, what do you do with the keepers?  Good question.  Will they be shown to friends and relatives and then returned to their original envelopes, never to be seen again?  Should you put them in a shoe box and store them in a closet for safekeeping?  Is it best to place them in albums so you can take them out and look at them from time to time?  These questions will need to be addressed. And, if you shoot 35mm or APS, what about the negatives?  How should they be stored for safekeeping? The proper and safe storage of pictures and negatives is practically a science in itself.

In a jury trial recently, an exchange reports, the attorney for the defendant started in to read to the jury from a certain volume of the supreme court reports.  He was interrupted by the court, who said: "Colonel Blank, it is not admissible, you know, to read the law to the jury." "Yes, I understand, your honor. I am only reading to the jury a decision of the supreme court." (FCS, April 22, 1908, page 1) SENIOR CLASS DAY Fine Program With Many Novel Features. May 22 [1908] at the Broadway theater the graduating class of the Albert Lea high school will give one of the most original entertainments that the school has ever put on.  The one act farce "My Lord in Livery" will be played with all the pomp and ceremony that goes with a play that is set in England in the middle part of the nineteenth century.  The case of characters is as following, Lord Thirimere, the hero, Erwin Nelson.  Spiggott, an old battler, Oscar Olson.  Hopkins, a footman, Arne Daum.  Robert, a page, Sylvestor Koontz.  Sybil Amberly, the herone, Margaret Conner.  Laura and Rose, friends of Sybil's, Edna Kaemmer and Nellie Nelson.  Scene, home of Sir George Amberley, England.   Robert Knudson, the coming speaker, will deliver a thrilling oration on "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Alfred Vollum will give the class bequest.  Following this will be the graceful "Dance of the Vestal Virgins."  The Mabel Ruden and Oswald Overn will render a duet on the piano. Now we come to a mysterious part of the program.  The stage will be set  with a scene in a primeval grove, there will be a subdued glow from the lights and through the gloom the audience will see a steaming caldron in the middle of the stage with weird witches stirring it and uttering a fearsome chant.  This chant will tell the futures  of each of the class and if it don't prove a success, we miss our guess. The program will be wound up with a stirring song by the entire company.  (Freeborn County Standard, Albert Lea, Minn., Wednesday, May 13, 1908, page 1) Column Headings for Census - Population Schedules Minnesota State Census & U.
