It also was the first time women were actively recruited for war involvement, serving in the Army and Navy Nurse Corps and the Female Telephone Operators Unit, also known as the Hello Girls. In addition, those at home contributed to the war effort by manning factories and farms, planting victory gardens, and joining the Clean Plate Club. Whatever their role, World War I forever changed soldiers and citizens alike. The exhibit explores these tumultuous times through artifacts and images and draws heavily from the words of those from Stearns County. It also looks at the affect the war had on many Stearns County residents of Germanic heritage and the environment of mistrust and fear in which they lived.
4 8:45 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. World War I Era U.S. Alien Registrations By Paula Stuart-Warren Room: Gallery 2 and 3 The U.S. forced registrations of non-citizen Germanic people during WWI. Both males and females over the age of 14 had to register. Some registrations still exist, as do some abstracts, lists, and court battles. Minnesota required registrations of all non-citizens from every country and those records are available today. All the forms asked for extensive family and background information, including place of birth, family members serving in the military against the U.S. and other helpful family history details. 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. - Your Anytime Library: Success in the Virtual Stacks By Paula Stuart-Warren Room: Gallery 2 and 3 Rather research than count sheep? Peruse books at any hour without starting the car or breaking into the library? County, town, and family histories, record abstracts, and more await. Digitized, photocopied, excerpted, abstracted, OCRd, and indexed books provide a strong likelihood of success via your computer and that medium called the Internet. Add newspapers, documents, family trees, pension records, periodicals, and more to the accessible items and you might be housebound for days (months?). During this session we will concentrate on books. Finding books online might be as simple as typing the title in your favorite search engine and enclosing it in quotation marks. Your search engine (i.e. Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc) is your best friend. The majority of the material listed in the handout for this lecture are links to FREE sites. 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. - Finding Family through DNA Testing By Gretchen Leisen Room: Gallery 2 Have you considered having your DNA tested for ethnicity or other factors? Are you interested in finding new relatives through your DNA testing? The program will introduce you to the various terms used in DNA reports with an emphasis on its use for family/genealogy research. We will cover Ancestry DNA; Family Tree DNA, 23 and Me DNA, and Heritage Quest DNA. What Do I Do With All of This Stuff By Brendon Duffy Room: Gallery 3 Genealogists have a knack for collecting records, documents, photos and other family memorabilia. Each of these items is a piece of evidence as we build our family history. But how can you take all that stuff and turn it into something that you can share? Brendon Duffy will offer some suggestions for how to organize your finds and some creative ways to share the story. Tapping into Stearns History Museum s Genealogical Online Resources: A Guide to getting started By Steve Penick and Jessie Storlien Room: Research Center This how-to session, presented by Steve Penick and Jessie Storlien, is perfect for beginning to intermediate genealogists. Learn how to access and navigate electronic resources that SHM staff use every day. Free to museum members who visit the Research Center, Ancestry.com opens doors to your research. Other highlighted sites are free or have limited access but are available to patrons. They include: Minnesota Historical Society resources, church and county records, marriage records, the St. Cloud Times Index, and more. Ancestors not from Stearns County? Many of these resources go beyond central Minnesota.
5 12:45 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. -- Your Stories Are Your Life By Jim Barkley Room: Gallery 2 What value would you place on a recording with the voice of your mother, father or grandparents, talking about their life stories? Your children and grandchildren will feel the same way about you Recording spoken stories is the fastest way to preserve your life experiences for the next generation, while also capturing the richness of voice & personality. The latest digital innovations allow you to tell future generations about an earlier era - stories about the past that they can listen to on their smartphones. Presenter Jim Barkley will use real recorded samples to demonstrate the power of our voices to tell stories, reveal personality, bring back memories and transfer wisdom. You ll also learn basic interview techniques and get recommendations for using the latest digital recording and editing technology to record your own stories. Finding Your Irish Ancestry By Brendon Duffy Room: Gallery 3 Do you have Irish people in your family tree, but don t know where to begin to look for them? Brendon Duffy will share some wisdom gained from six research trips to Ireland. In this session, he ll summarize the three main periods of Irish emigration and show you some of the primary resources available both in the U.S. and Ireland. With a few tips, you can have the luck of the Irish in breaking through those brick walls. Going Old School: Genealogy Tools that don t need much Electricity By Steve Penick and Jessie Storlien Room: Research Center Tired of looking at a computer screen for researching your ancestors? Then pick up a book and go old school! This hands-on SHM Research Center session presented by Steve Penick and Jessie Storlien will get you away from the desk and on your feet. Learn to use archival collections to add to your family story. Check out plat and community maps, city directories, census records, and newspapers for additional information. Town/parish/church histories also provide great backgrounds on where your ancestors lived. Think you ve reached the end? We have gravestone indexes for three area counties compiled by dedicated genealogists. 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. -- The WPA Era: Free Records Boon from the Government By Paula Stuart-Warren Room: Gallery 2 and 3 During tough economic times in the 1930s and 1940s, government programs put many people to work. The Works Progress/Projects Administration created a goldmine of records that are useful for today s genealogists. WPA record transcriptions, courthouse and manuscript inventories, indexes, city/county histories, and histories of businesses and families may exist for your ancestral locale. We will discuss many of those WPA creations, some of which you already use regularly, and where others may be found today. We will also discuss the online explosion of WPA materials. 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. - A Baker's Dozen: Easy Ways to Begin Writing Your Family History By Paula Stuart-Warren Room: Gallery 2 and 3 Any one can write! Learn ways to get your family history in print without a lot of strain. It s not as daunting a task as you might think. A baker s dozen of ways to work on this over time and ideas to get your greater family involved will be shared. You may find that you are already doing some of these but hadn t realized you were actually getting family history into print! Some of the ideas lend themselves to scrapbooking techniques. Including family health history information is an important part of the process; what you share in print may aid a family member someday. Sharing and preserving the family stories, both the joyous times and the tough times, can enhance your understanding of yourself and the greater family. Visuals will demonstrate the Baker s Dozen and a handout will point you to further ideas and help in both print and online formats.
