Basic Genealogy Quesiton

Legg inn av Jolene & Bill Loftus » 15 okt 2006 15:46:33

Got to be a stupid question, but as I have always heard many times if you
got the questions other people do also. Genealogy information after 1930
census comes from where? In this age of identify theft, how do we get more
information about people who are currently living or after the 1930 census.
Birth certificates and Death certificates costs add up quickly.

It depends on what kind of information you're wanting...

Identity theft and such is a real concern but there are a number of ways to
locate folks depending on what you have to work with. A lot depends on where
you need to search. Different states (and I am sure different countries)
have different rules on what may or may not be available from the public
records. If the person is deceased the Social Seurity Death Index is a good
way to start. At any rate, the folks in this newsgroup know a lot more about
a lot of options then I do. Good luck.

The quick way is to ask them. Almost anyone who was under 10 on the
1930 will still be living. Heck, I know a 22-y-o who was on the 1930
and as of last month SHE was living.

But, first you have to know who they are, I hear you thinking.

True. But, then again -- don't you have an aunt or uncle who likes you?
Or even better who doesn't like one side of your family? Sit by them at
funerals or Thanksgiving and make-nice. TELL all the relatives you know
that you're interested in tracking the family. It can pay off years
later in unexpected ways, and it can pay off pretty quick.

If you can get addresses in time, send out Holiday Greetings (your
choice of religion and/or holiday) and enclose a pedigree chart and a
family-group. Put the addressee's name in as #1 and let him fill in
what he knows. [generic/grammatical use of he, because I get tired of
typing he/she, his/hers, him/her] Or do a paragraph about how you know
he's your __ cousin, and what can he tell you about the family?

If you don't know *ANY* of your relatives, it's a different ballpark.
