Home My WebLink AboutVol.2 No.1The August meeting of the Brazos Genealogical Association will be on the regular meeting night--Third Monday (August 18) 7:00 - 9:00 pm at the Bryan Library. We will be hearing from some summer research experiences of members who have been out and around Let's hope they can give us some inside information that may save us a trip, or help us to have a better one! Come share with us. Bryan Library Monday, August 18, 1980 7:00 - 9:00 pm Bryan Library Monday, September 15, 1980 The September meeting of the Association--scheduled for Monday, September 15--will be another time of sharing summer and/or researching experiences. In addition, there has been a request for the pamphlet that Ken BROWN gave us on Organization and Numbering. Since an explana- tion needs to be made about the pamphlet, Mary COOPER will be at the library at 6 :15 that night and go over the methods, show some examples and answer questions. If you want to review or find out about this method, plan to come early for that work session. The pamphlet will be available, too ( 6 50). BRAZOS GENEALOGICAL ADVERT `TSF,,,R,,, Volume I!

To find the cemetery, drive north from Bryan on Highway 6 for approximately 13 miles. Turn right on FM 2549 (there is a sign that says 'Camp Arrowmoon'), Drive 1.5 miles And turn right on Rabbit Lane (no sign); .4 miles to a cattle guard on the right with a chain across. The sign says Kingsbury, but the chain is locked and'there is another sign that says Private Property. One mile down the ranch road there is a cattleguard and aluminum gate. The cemetery is about .4 mile down the lane. We secured the key to the gate from Mr. C.J. ALLEN who has adjoining property. Permission should be secured before entering the Ranch. The cemetery is on a hill in a grove of hickory trees with a lovely view of other small tree-covered hills. Near Spring Creek, there is about an acre that is fenced off for protection of the graves that are there; however, one section of the fence has fallen and cows have been in the area. As in many small family cemeteries there are a number of Field stones which apparently mark graves, and-there are five uninscribed concrete slabs that may have been identified at one time. There are also three funeral home markers, but the writing has completely faded. One of these is under a large tree in the far corner of the fenced area. there are only two surnames identified in the cemetery --MOSS and LUTTS. The largest marker is about three feet tall and has in- scriptions on two sides of the four sided base: W W Moss born Oct 24, 1807 died 1845 Footstone: W W M ."Our Father S R MOSS born May 8, 1804 died Nov 20, 1889 Another large stone is for husband and wife: Moss Father Samuel R. Apr 9, 1853 Dec 28, 1931 Mother Nettie Apr 7, 1 Aug 10, 1953 One stone has different inscriptions on each side: Susan B. wife of T A MOSS born Aug 16, 1855 died July 29,1889 - Sidney born Nov 20, 1885 died Apr 15, 1889 Minnie born May 31, 1881 died July 21,1885 3 4 KNOW WHIAT?

Infant daughter dau of A F & R E LUTTS ? F & R E LUTTS born born June 15 & died Aug 13 & died June 15, 1880 Aug 27, 1879 This listing was done August 1, 1980, by Ralph and Naomi McCORMICK and Mary COOPER. The time invested in this excursion was no more than two to two and one half hours. They challenge other members to spot and list other small family cemeteries that need to be recorded before more deterioration has occurred. Going in teams seems to be the most efficient as one can read and the other record and there is a check on each other as to accuracy. Equipment needed: cards (we used 3X5, recording one stone to a card); pencil and paper for rubbings if this is needed (news print or butcher paper will do); chalk is best for bringing out shallow carvings; a wire brush or kitchen scrubber will get the moss off. A thermos of water, insect spray and big hat will also help. Will one or two members volunteerto coordinate these stings so we don't have two different teams going to the same place?? li ..................................................................... HENRY FAMILY CEMETERY This cemetery is listed in E. Broaddus SMITH'S book of Brazos County Cemeteries; however, Mrs. SIMPSON in the county clerk's office, has given to Nan ROSS, reference librarian, these listings which she says should be added to the SMITH book list.

The library did live up to the information that it had extensive genealogical resources. It is presently in a lovely new building i in the downtown area--part of the Tandy Center. Anyone n the Fort Worth area will find a visit to that library an interesting and profitable one. One of the handouts in the library was an alphabetical list of the states and their catalog number. This was very helpful but even more helpful and interesting when they were put in numer- ical order as they are found on the shelves. This is generally how you will find state related information in libraries using the Dewey numbe-A;-ng system. Here is the numerical listing. 974.1 Maine 975.1 Delaware 976.1 Alabama 974.2 New Hampshire 975.2 Maryland 976.2 Mississippi 974.3 Vermont 975.3 District of 976.3 Louisiana 974.4 Massachusetts Columbia 976.4 Texas 974.5 Rh de Island 975.

The February 1980 publication of the Juka, Mississippi, Surname Society has this very interesting bit of wisdom: ,, I think that I shall never see The finish of a family tree. It forever seems to grow From roots that started very slow." --------------------------------------------------- The editor got this from a lovely Louisiana lady: TyPisTjs do NoT drink MoRe Tha n other people iT JuST shows up MORE iN PRINt///// One of the Genealogical Newsletters that exchanges with the Advertiser is The Herald, an excellent publication from the Mont- gomery County Genealogical Society, Conroe, Texas. County Library has an excellent reputation also.) Vol he Montgomery Summer 1980 is now in the Bryan Library, and well worth looking into. One item submitted by M. HYATT is quoted from the 1 March 1980 issue of "Tree Talk ", published by the Cherokee County Genealogical Society of Jacksonville, Texas. This editor could not resist sharing it with the Advertiser readers, too. GENEALOGY PDX WARNINGi GENEALOGY PDX: very contagious to adults. Symptoms: continual complaint as to need for names, dates and places. Patient has a blank expression, sometimes deaf to spouse and children. Has not taste for work of any kind, except feverishly looking through records at libraries and courthouses. Has compulsion to write letters. Swears at mailman when he doesn't leave mail. Frequents strange places such as cemeteries, ruins and remote deso- late country areas. Makes secret night calls, hides bills from spouse. Mumbles to self. Has strange faraway look in eyes. NO KNOWN CUREit TREATMENT: Medication is useless. Disease is not fatal, but gets progressively worse. Patient should attend genealogy workshops subscribe to genealogical magazines and be given a quiet corner in the house where he can be alone. REMARKS: The disease is unusual in that the sicker the patient gets, the more he enjoys it; Other organizations with whom the Advertiser exchanges or sends our publication for their library; East Texas Genealogical Society, Tyler Montgomery County Genealogical Society, Conroe Nacogdoches Genealogical Society Texas State Library, Austin Waco- McLennan County Library Louisiana State Archives, Baton Rouge Leon County Genealogical Society.

Regis- tration includes a Buffet Luncheon. NOW HO J rEDIGREE CHARTS if VV ? Marian GRAHAM has given us a pedigree chart that is slightly different from those printed in recent issues, but is a very inter- esting one. Other members will enjoy seeing one that goes the other way'. In other words, instead of starting with the youngest person on the left hard side and showing that person's.ancestors, Marian and her cPusin M.E. WADE have placed their eighteenth century ancestor --and wife - -in that left hand space and documented their descendants. Very interesting, Marian. On the following pages you will see Marian's pedigree chart and extensions. These are good examples of two ways to present your research--depending on the type of research you have done! _ 11 a Zd �a A y .- 3 C t7 �+ Q a a Z �. 1- CC cc n � c z oc co c a W `� Q y t o a r s T _ Ly a T } a s c 7 ° a U 3 J J°, UQ r1r Jyi VR'TY L dar a L � 3 y Z 3 JN -j J Y2Z �GU �(>C S £aWVQ3nt GY z y-+ I � C a wows w a F a flr s S z �a C Q uaSno,YC�' }a t uf jt� rL f.

She stopped numbering at this really point, but listed another one hundred and fourteen names ending with and Priscilla MULLINS! and John ALDEN o she reports that she can go further than that with those overseas! This may be a set of pedigree charts that we will want to look at in the file at the Bryan Library. Marian, we really admire the work that you have done. 16 KNOW WHAT? ARTICLES - USING THE.. SOUNDER The index cards reproduced in the microfilm copy of the 1880 census index are arranged according to the Soundex filing system. This system, alphabetic for the first letter of surname and numeric thereunder, compensates for variations in spelling. The Soundex includes only those households which had child- ren under ten, but lists persons in those households with surnames other than that of the head separately. Each coded number may represent one to ten or more surnames. Entries within each number are arranged alphabetically according to the given name of the head of household. Thus ADRIAN APPLEMAN would precede BUTLER ABCOCK, even though both names might code A420. To code a name . . 1. Write it out. The iirst letter of a surname is not coded. It prefixes the code. Write the first letter and cross it out of the name. 2. Cross out all the letters which are not coded. 3. Assign the proper code number for each letter left in the name. Double letters are coded only once. 4. The first three digits are the code number for the name. Add them to the prefix letter. If fewer than three letters in the name are coded, add 0's to the code number or ,-lumbers to make a three digit number. 5. Find the box in the Soundex drawer which lists the numbers which include yours. A typical roll of Soundex might include H450-H66o. Soundex Code 1 b 2 C,S,k,g,j,q,x,z 3 d,t 4 1 5 m,n 6 r The letters a, e, i, o, u, y, w and h are not coded. SOME CALENDAR HISTORY Have you wondered about those dates that are written 168 This is due to the changes made in our calendar in 1751 and is found only in reference to January through March 25. This article (which was gleaned from Encyclopedia Britannica, 1970 Edition, Volume 4 by Ken BROWN) may help you to better understand the early calendars and references thereto. We thank Ken for sharing this with us. This information is concerning the Western Calendar and presents the major facts about the three principle calendars that we might encounter in our research. 17 1. Roman Republican Calendar o Contained 12 mos. (Each month roughly = 1 lunation) 0 355 Days (10 days less than the solar year) o Used from ca 700 BC to Julian Calendar 2. Julian Calendar o By 46 BC calendar was 3 mos. off the astronomical equinox o Julius Caesar added 67 days between November and December in 46 BC o Adopted a calendar 1 Jan 46 BC based on a solar period of 3654 (365.25) with each 4th year having 366 days. o In 44 BC the month Quintilis was changed to July in honor of Julius Caesar. 3. Gregorian Calendar o By 730 AD calendar was off 3 days. o By 1200's was off just over 7 days. o In 16th Century with support of the states of the Holy Roman Empire, Pope Gregory XIII undertook to have revisions made. o Christopher Clavius first published the revision in 1603 o Lilius tackled the problem of changing or adjusting the lunar cycle (28 days) o Gregorian calendar still uses the 365 day year with leap year having 366 days. Century years are not leap years unless divisable by 400. Later a slight adjust - ment was made to make the years 4000, 8000, etc. common years. o Adoption of the Gregorian calendar varied from country to country. Was adopted in: 1582 by Rome, various Italian States, Portugal, Spain, France 1583 by Roman Catholic states of Germany. 1700 by the Protestant States of Germany, Denmark 1751 by Great Britain - By that time the Julian calendar was 11 days too long. The day following 2 Sept_ 1752 was termed 14 Sept 1752. 1753 by Sweeden 1917 by Russia (with the advent of Soviet government) At the same time the calendar was adjusted, the date of the commencement of the new year was also changed (Great Britain). Hitherto the year had begun on 25 March, but by the act of 1751 was changed to 1 January - an enactment which had been carried out in Scotland as early as 1600. HOW YOU CAN TELL WHEN IT'S GOING TO BE A ROTTEN DAY Your birthday cake collapses from the weight of the candles. You turn on the news and they're showing emergency routes out of the city. The bird singing outside your window is a buzzard. Author Unknown ... But Troubled! AIR As residents of Brazos County, we are fortunate to have the resources of Texas A & M University so close at-hand; although we have noted in the past that finding genalogical sources is very difficult. Recently, a paper called Genealogical Research at A&M was made available at the reference section of_ the library. Written by Bill PAGE who is Library Assistant in the Microtext Sec- tion of the library, this paper is a great blueprint for finding the material that is really there. We are told that he revises this listing from time to time, and the Advertiser has asked for permission to use portions of it for the benefit of local members. This will become a regular section of each edition. We will also try to tell you where in the library to find these refe=rences. We really appreciate Mr. PAGE's generosity in sharing his research with the Advertiser. ----- ----- ----- ----- ----- GENEALOGICAL RESEARCH AT A&M by Bill PAGE For most purposes genealogical research can be viewed as either a specialized form of historical or biographical research. Any tool which might be of use for either of these types of research may also be of use in genealogy. A&M in general does not collect genealogical material as such; however, the Library does own some material which is of use to the genealogist. Unless the patron is an experienced researcher the first thing he should do is consult some of the handbooks we have in Reference in the CS classification. A competant genealogist will eventually have to develop library skills equal to those of a graduate student in history. CALL NUMBERS Broad call number areas are as follow: 1. CS -- books about how to do genealogical research and works on individual families; the general tendency now seems to be to classify works under other call numbers when possible. 2. E -- American history (including wars) and ethnic groups 3. F --state and local history (more material than in the CS group While these call numbers give a very general idea of areas to browse, the best method of locating material is checking the card catalog. THE CARD CATALOG 1 Yorks on genealogy may be cataloged by geographic region as follows: a. country (United States -_ genealogy) b. region (New England -- genealogy) c. state (Massachusetts -- genealogy) 19 Genealogical Research at A &M (Continued) d. county (Suffolk County, Mass. -- genealogy) e. city (Boston, Mass. -- genealogy) In addition to the subheading "genealogy" the subdivision "history -- sources" is also very useful. 2. To see if the Library has a book about a particular family, use the family name as a subject heading. 3. The Library owns very few census records. Essentially, the records for Texas (1850- 1880,1900) and selected other states. Also, all of the 1790 census records are available. These records are in Microtext. (Second floor) The census records in Microtext are not represented in the public catalog. There are also census records for a few scattered years and areas in paper copy. To locate these check under the name of the county (or state) and using "census" as a subheading. 4. A number of subject headings are used for registers of births, deaths, marriages, etc. These include: a. registers of births, etc. b. probate records c. marriage licenses d. wills Geographical areas are used as subheadings for the above. The Archives Division of the Library also has county records for local counties and can borrow records for all counties in Texas. These county records include marriage records, deeds, probate records, etc. 5. The Library owns relatively few emigration records. Some will be listed under broad headings (United States -- genealogy; others will be listed as registers. Another way some will be listed is under the name of the appropriate nationality (British in America- - Lists, Germans in Texas -- Directories). 6. While the Library does own a few military rosters as federal documents, in general these are very difficult to locate. Most of the - Library l s_.h;al;dings of use to the genealogist are in the main collection. Subject headings used include "U.S.-- army-- registers" and "bounties, military-- (geog.area). Other approaches may be useful. For example, both of the following would be pro- ductive in specific circumstances: "Virginia -- history, revolution- - sources" and "United States -- history - -Civil War -- Regimental Histories - -(name of specific unit). Obviously, this is just an example of the search strategies. Additional subject headings should be sought as necessary using the Library of Congress subject headings list.
