THE LIKELY ENGLISH ANCESTRY – Of Deacon John Doane of Plymouth & Eastham, Massachusetts
Follow the trials and tribulations of a small group of dedicated family researchers who set out to identify the ancestor of Deacon John Doane. While his activities in the Plymouth Colony are well documented, the Deacon’s life in his mother country was a complete mystery. Over decades, plausible theories were researched and eventually discarded as dead ends. Then the release of online records resulted in a wave of new discoveries. Comparative analysis from both sides of the pond eventually proved that a candidate from London, England was likely the youthful Deacon. A case study for anyone with a lost New England ancestor.

FamilyBrowse: Searching for Unindexed Records on FamilySearch.org
FamilySearch.org has millions of images on its website, many of which are unindexed and not searchable. But if you know how to get into the catalog and browse around, you can find images of birth and death certificates, naturalization papers, deeds, wills, estate inventories and more. And FamilySearch is adding more and more such images every month. To take advantage of this ever-increasing bounty, it’s important to know how to find these types of records.

Taking the time to get organized will save you time, reduce your frustration, and increase your efficiency when researching.

The presentation will be on Zoom so you can join in from the comfort of your own home or join us at the Richland FamilySearch Center located at 1314A Goethals Dr. Entrance is down the ramp from the parking lot that is to the north of Dairy Queen. See below for the Zoom link.
The presentation will be by Kim Richardson https://www.apgen.org/profiles/kim-richardson who is a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists among other affiliations. Kim will be speaking on A New Strategy for Brick Walls.
Ever feel like you are engulfed by a pile of research? Do you ever think to yourself, “If I could just get organized, I could solve this mystery?” If so, this presentation is for you!
This session explains why complex genealogy problems feel overwhelming and how to overcome it through a new way of organizing. (Don’t worry, it’s not you, and you’re not alone!) You CAN master the “thought chaos” caused by all that data swirling around in your mind. All you have to do is interact with the research in a new way and engage in activities that transform you into a problem-solving dynamo. The presentation shows you how and demonstrates a technique that:
· teaches you to handle information in a new way to see more links and relationships
· allows you to see all your research at one glance
· organizes your research for you (yes, really!)
· simplifies all the data
· shows you any gaps, errors, and conflicts
· automatically creates a narrative outline (and eliminates writers’ block!)
· helps you plan and brainstorm your way to success
Biography as provided by the speaker:
Kim Richardson accidentally became a genealogist when her grandmother and grandaunt asked for help researching a few ancestors. She loved learning about those ancestors and has been researching nearly daily since that time, including professionally. Kim’s favorite genealogy activity is empowering others to break through barriers to achieve their genealogy goals. She discovered why complex genealogy problems feel overwhelming and created a tool called Brick Wall Buster Cards to conquer confusion and solve tough problems.
Kim graduated from Mississippi State University. She retired from service to the State of Mississippi after 25 years as an advocate for victims of violent crime and working in highway traffic safety programs. She continues to work in a professional capacity conducting genealogy research and teaching others that they can solve genealogical brick wall problems. She has researched for Who Do You Think You Are? and Finding Your Roots. She also wrote the “Mississippi Research Guide” for Family Tree Magazine.

During 2023 volunteers in the library have continued organizing and digitizing materials donated to SGS over the years. The digital holdings include family research related material and various materials compiled by SGS volunteers. Included in the compilations are newspaper clippings, abstracts of vital records and obituaries appearing in early Seattle newspapers and cemetery surveys. Although some of the digitized materials may be accessed on the SGS website, the vast majority are only available on one of the library’s patron computers. Throughout 2024, we will add more of these digitized materials to the patron computers. GOODBYE TO SGS’S CENTENNIAL YEAR

100 YEARS AGO: 16 DEC. 1923
Some things never change. One hundred years ago, ferries were in the news in the Seattle Daily Times. On December 16, 1923, the headline was “FERRY CONTRACTS LET, TWO FAST SOUND VESSELS TO BE REMODELED.
The article went on to explain that two high-class ferry boats, the Seattle and the Sioux were to be “Widened and Lengthened for Automobiles Carriage.” They were headed to the Todd Shipyard for two months of work. The steamship Seattle was to be used on the Seattle Bremerton run while the steamship Sioux would be operated on the Port Angeles to Victoria route. Total cost was more than $250,00. The contract for the Seattle was awarded to the Navy Yard Route and the contract for the Sioux was awarded to the Puget Sound Navigation Company. Both corporations were owned by the same interests.
