I went ahead and placed my order and the confirming email gave me the option of downloading a copy so that I could take a look.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br/> </span></span><br/> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For now, I am keeping a copy of my databases in RootsMagic 4, but I am also opening them in RootsMagic 5 to make a comparison between the two versions and learn how 5 is better. <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br/> </span></span><br/> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">First impression: I like the look of the new version, and in reading over the What's New list, the enhancements mentioned seem to me to be useful.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br/> </span></span><br/> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Here are some of the new features:<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br/> </span></span><br/> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Research Manager is now able to create unlimited research logs to document your work and aid your research, and you can quickly search for any text in any research log.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br/> </span></span><br/> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">One feature that interests me is CountyCheck, which automatically checks every county you enter (US, Canada, UK, Australia) to verify that it actually existed at the time of the event. Also, a report can be printed out that gives you a list of all events in counties which didn't exist at the time. You also can access maps and county histories for the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. This will be a timesaver for me, I believe, as I have been spending considerable time going on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/http://www.epodunk.com/">www.epodunk.com</a> and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/http://www.wikipedia.com/">www.wikipedia.com</a> to check county names.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br/> </span></span><br/> <br/> <div class="MsoPlainText"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A Timeline View shows a full timeline of the current person's events and those of their parents, siblings, spouses, and children.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br/> </span></span></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There also are numerous changes/improvements to People Views and Database Tools.

(In checking the website, Cleveland.com, I found that she initially published the article online the day before. You can read it by clicking <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/http://www.cleveland.com/healthfit/index.ssf/2011/11/explore_your_health_roots_at_t.html">here</a>.)</span><br/> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br/> </span><br/> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The timeliness of the article was highlighted in the subhead to the newspaper version: "Holiday season is a good time to create a family tree that looks at relatives' medical histories."</span><br/> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br/> </span><br/> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A quote pulled from the article and featured prominently in the layout of both the newspaper version and the online version follows:</span><br/> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><em style="background-color: white; color: #444e5c; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">"Any individual looking at their family history and family background will have a better understanding of what particular genetic disorders they are at risk of developing."</em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444e5c; line-height: 20px;"> </span><strong style="background-color: white; color: #444e5c; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: left;">Dr. Sean McCandless,</strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444e5c; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"> medical geneticist, University Hospitals Case Medical Center</span></span><br/> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444e5c; line-height: 20px; text-align: left;"><br/> </span></span><br/> <div style="text-align: left;"></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Apparently, some families try to avoid talking about family illnesses and causes of death.

It's obvious that NBC executives value the program series, but not enough to put it in a time slot in the fall season when top shows typically are scheduled.<br/> <br/> No details yet on who will be featured in the upcoming season.<br/> <br/> I learned that I can receive announcements for the show by "following it" on Twitter, hence I created a Twitter account for myself and signed up to follow it. I don't know how much I will be using Twitter going forward, other than to follow certain people/subjects of interest like WDYTYA.<br/> <br/> Back to WDYTYA: You also can get upcoming announcements about the show (who is going to be featured, etc.) by following @nbcwdytya.<br/> <br/> And if you would like to see Lisa Kudrow appearing on Rosie O'Donnell's TV show in October, talking about their experiences on WDYTYA, go to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/http://www.oprah.com/rosie/Rosies-Experience-on-Who-Do-You-Think-You-Are-Video">http://www.oprah.com/rosie/Rosies-Experience-on-Who-Do-You-Think-You-Are-Video</a>.<br/> <br/> BTW, if you would like to follow me on Twitter, my handle is @NEOhioGenPro. <div style="clear: both;"></div> </div> <div class="post-footer"> <div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"><span class="post-author vcard"> Posted by <span class="fn" itemprop="author" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/Person"> <meta content="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/https://www.blogger.com/profile/10368077610371840451" itemprop="url"/> <a class="g-profile" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/https://www.blogger.com/profile/10368077610371840451" rel="author" title="author profile"> <span itemprop="name">whuskonen</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class="post-timestamp"> at <meta content="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/http://collectingancestors.blogspot.com/2011/11/im-now-following-who-do-you-think-you.html" itemprop="url"/> <a class="timestamp-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/http://collectingancestors.blogspot.com/2011/11/im-now-following-who-do-you-think-you.html" rel="bookmark" title="permanent link"><abbr class="published" itemprop="datePublished" title="2011-11-22T04:47:00-08:00">4:47 AM</abbr></a> </span> <span class="post-comment-link"> <a class="comment-link" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/http://collectingancestors.blogspot.com/2011/11/im-now-following-who-do-you-think-you.html#comment-form" onclick=""> No comments: </a> </span> <span class="post-icons"> <span class="item-control blog-admin pid-1211893591"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=1675893023001213285&postID=5356770081653507339&from=pencil" title="Edit Post"> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="18" src="//web.archive.org/web/20150927213320im_/http://img2.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif" width="18"/> </a> </span> </span> <div class="post-share-buttons goog-inline-block"> <a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-email" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=1675893023001213285&postID=5356770081653507339&target=email" target="_blank" title="Email This"><span class="share-button-link-text">Email This</span></a><a class="goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=1675893023001213285&postID=5356770081653507339&target=blog" onclick="window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475");

margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Over the years, there have been websites that perform translations for you online. In most cases these have been free, at least for single words and phrases. Some websites offered to translate longer passages for you for a fee.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Well, for me at least, the choice today is automatic: I use <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/http://translate.google.com/">Google Translate</a> for quick translations and even for translating documents. It doesn't do a perfect translation, but it brings you close enough to understand what the creator of the words or document intended.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Most of my experience has been in translating Finnish into English. Recently, I have been working with a client whose ancestors came from Poland in the early 20th century. He has been able to provide me with a limited number of documents, including a record of birth and baptism for his grandmother. This record, or certificate, really, was produced in 1952 by a clergyman from the original church records.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">In this case, I needed to translate from Latin into English. I found that I was able to do a rough translation of the document from Latin into English using Google Translate.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">To fine-tune the translation, I accessed the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/http://www.familysearch.org/eng/search/rg/guide/wllatin.asp">Latin Genealogical Research Word List</a> offered free, online by FamilySearch.org. Working with this word list, I was able to understand some of the terminology that didn't translate smoothly in Google Translate. Working with these two tools, I was able to translate most--but not all--of the terms used in the document prepared back in 1952 by the parish priest.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I also needed to do a little research on the geography of the region in Poland to understand that the subject was born in the village of Dukla in southeastern Poland with a present-day population of about 2000. I learned this by looking up Dukla Poland in <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dukla">Wikipedia</a>. I also found it listed in the website, JewishGen. The <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150927213320/http://kehilalinks.jewishgen.org/Zmigrod/zmigroddukla.htm">page on that websit</a>e stated: <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br/> </div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">“Althought the town began in Poland, it was part of Galicia (an Imperial Province of the Austrian Empire) from 1776 to 1919.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><br/> </div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">This cleared up for me why I was seeing references to Galacia in this and other Polish-related records.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt;

At the National Archives, we have been preparing for the launch of these records for years. We are working closely with Inflection to ensure researchers will be able to search the 1940 Census when it opens next year." At launch, researchers will be able to search the 1940 Census by address, Enumeration District (ED), and geographic location. Researchers will be able to browse images by ED number directly, or use address or geographic information to locate the appropriate census schedule. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br/> </div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">To learn more about Archives.com and the National Archives bringing the 1940 Census online, please visit www.archives.com/1940census.

I was pointed to this town by a passenger manifest reporting that a Polish immigrant (my client’s ancestor) was coming to America in 1910 to meet his uncle, who lived in Centralia. At the time, Centralia apparently was a coal-mining community, and from browsing through the census records for 1910, many recent immigrants from </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">eastern Europe </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">were living in the area, along with earlier immigrants from England and Ireland. Most residents were employed by the local coal-mining industry.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br/> </div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">For a quick overview of Centralia, I went to Wikipedia.

Its population has dwindled from over 1,000 residents in 1981 to 12 in 2005, 9 in 2007, and 10 in 2010, as a result of a mine fire burning beneath the borough since 1962. Centralia is one of the least-populated municipalities in Pennsylvania.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br/> </span></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“Centralia was incorporated as a borough in 1866. The anthracite coal industry was the principal employer in the community. Coal mining continued in Centralia until the 1960s, when most of the companies went out of business. Bootleg mining continued until 1982. Strip and open-pit mining is still active in the area, and there is an underground mine employing abo<o:p></o:p></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">ut 40 people three miles to the west.</span></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br/> </span></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"All properties in the borough were claimed under eminent domain by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1992 (and all buildings therein were condemned), and Centralia's ZIP code was revoked by the Post Office in 2002. However, a few residents continue to reside there in spite of the failure of a lawsuit to reverse the eminent domain claim.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><br/> </div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Some maps on the Wikipedia entry for Centralia illustrate the result of the removal of buildings as a result of the mine fire.

When my paternal grandfather came from Finland, he apparently had plans to go to Houghton, Michigan, where there was a mining industry very early in the 20th century. He came first to Ashtabula, Ohio, however, and stayed there, instead, eventually becoming a farmer in Ashtabula County.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoPlainText"><span class="Apple-style-span"
