3 2017 marks 25 years of Hooked on Genealogy Tours (HOG Tours) with Jan Gow We leave 9 June 2017 so there is time to get you organised so that you can fully benefit from three weeks in Salt Lake City at the World's largest Family History Library! Option to then go to London for 10 days and then to Ireland for 10 days (5 days Dublin, 5 days Belfast). Jan went to SLC in February for the RootsTech Conference and so she should be up-to-date with the changes in the Family History Library. Why go to SLC and the FHL?? The main reason - in just one word - TIME!!! We are there for 21 days and we do have the precious time - the Library opens at 8am and closes at 9pm except for Monday and Sat nights when it closes at 5pm. We live (nestle in) in the Plaza Hotel next door to the Library and we have free wi-fi there so we can continue researching!! No telephones ringing for us; no meals to cook; no housework to do!! Just research. TIME to research. The next one word???? IMMEDIACY!! Yes, find something new?? You can immediately follow through - book to check; microfiche to search; film to read; expert to ask - all there at the FHL just waiting for you! Third word? EVERYWHERE!!!! Yes, Everywhere, Everytime, Everyplace - just have to ask. Put your fingers on the computer keys (you can bring your own) and the world is your oyster.

5 Certificates Collection Afternoon 17 June The Branch is negotiating with the Invercargill Library to hold a Certificates collection session at its June meeting - the first to be held on a Saturday afternoon; starting at 1.30pm. The idea behind this is that members will have a number of certificates of various types, and copying them and forwarding them to the Society s Certificates collection will add to the collection for the benefit of members. What is the Certificates Collection? The Certificates Collection is a New Zealand Society of Genealogists members-only service. This is a collection of birth, death and marriage certificates contributed for the sole purpose of sharing information amongst Society members. The majority of records are from New Zealand sources, but there are also many from the United Kingdom, Australia and other countries. This collection, previously known as the Unrelated Certificates Collection, was initially set up as a repository for birth, death and marriage certificates that members had obtained but found to be unrelated to their research. It was first indexed in 1989, and has gradually expanded to include miscellaneous certificates and documents from many official sources which could be of help for genealogical research. The collection continues to grow steadily, thanks to the generosity of Society members and others. By mid-2016 there were over 112,000 records, with over 960,000 entries cross indexed from these records, and the index continues to grow each month. As previously stated, the sole purpose of the collection is to share certificate information amongst Society members. The types of documents deposited in the collection include Birth certificates (including RGO printouts or sightings), Marriage certificates (including RGO printouts or sightings), Death certificates (including RGO printouts or sightings), Parish records (marriages, banns, baptisms, churchyard burials), Intention to Marry notices, Wills, probates, Coroners' reports, Citizen memorials (naturalisation records), War records, Convict records, and Miscellaneous certificates, i.e., educational qualifications, apprentice certificates, funeral directors records, family Bible inscriptions (only if sufficient useful details are shown). Up-to-date information about the collection can be found as a Gen-guide on the Society's website. Log in as a member, then head to: For the afternoon of Saturday 17 June, members are encouraged to bring certificates to the meeting, where they can be copied (at no cost), then the copies will be despatched to the Society s 5
6 Timely Genealogy Organization Tips By Vanessa Wieland (Family Tree Magazine) There's a simple key to organizing your genealogy research without losing your mind or feeling overwhelmed. When it comes to organizing your genealogy research, the piles of paper can add up quickly, even if you prefer to work digitally. So how to manage those stacks of vital records, census schedules, old photos, and various notes and research over the years? The answer: one step at a time. The key to organization is to remember that you control it, it doesn't control you. The best way to do that is to set a goal for each step, one that has a limit. Time limits are easiest, so grab a stopwatch or set the timer on your phone, and work a little at a time. Try this: take a 10-minute break after every 30 minutes. Figure out what you want to accomplish in that 30 minutes, and that way, once you've completed it, you'll enjoy a sense of accomplishment. Even if you don't, you can walk away after 30 minutes without guilt, because you're making progress. 6
7 An interesting article on Battle Babies found on Scotland s People The Battle of the Somme is the best-known World War One battle, fought between the British and French armies against the German army, July to November 1916 around the River Somme in France. More than one million soldiers were wounded or killed, making it one of the bloodiest battles in human history. Twenty Scottish babies were given the middle name Somme between 1916 and John McCreadie named his son Martin Somme McCreadie, following his birth in late As McCreadie served in the 9th Battalion, Cameronians, which was involved in bitter fighting on the Somme, the name was perhaps conferred to mark his own survival or commemorate his comrades. Parents also named their children after the Belgian town Ypres, which was the focus of heavy fighting during the war and was almost totally obliterated. In 1917, the third Battle of Ypres occurred, otherwise known as the Battle of Passchendaele. This resulted in nearly half a million casualties across all sides. In Scotland, between 1914 and 1919, 30 babies were given the name Ypres; 5 of those were forenames. (Go to Scotland s People website for more fascinating articles) NZSG Gen-guides Question : What are Gen-guides, and how many could you name? Answer : Gen-guides (Genealogical guides) are a series of booklets written to give detailed information to Society members on a range of services offered to members. There are currently 14 of them, all in PDF format, and they can be downloaded from the Society s website. Log in as a member, then look under the Research tab for Gen Guides. They are: Records Collections - Member Services - Miscellaneous Guides - Certificates Collection First Families Griffis Illegitimacies Collection Pre-1856 Marriages Certificate Purchasing Service Cheque Purchasing Service Guide to Members Services GRO Index & Purchasing Service Land Research Service UK Probates Index & Purchasing Service Cemetery Transcription Guidelines Electoral Rolls Guide to Indexing. 7
