CENSUS NEWS!

​2022 Census Release
​
Nancy Battick, Special to the Fiddlehead Focus 
This year genealogists will have something extra to be thankful for! In April 2022, the 1950 U.S. Census was released by the National Archives and Records Administration!!! HURRAY!
Many genealogists have been waiting for this for a while now as they trace their families through time. The 1950 census was taken post World War II and will begin recording the postwar baby boom. Many of us will show up enumerated for the first time making our debuts to history so to speak. COOL!
There are three (3) parts to the 1950 census, the population census, the Indian Reservation Schedule of Natives living on reservations, and population forms for Canton, Johnston, Midway and Wake Islands. Included in the population census was the continental United States, the territories of Alaska, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, Panama Canal Zone, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM

Unfortunately,  the release will be NOT indexed.
indexing takes time.... UGH.
​Take heart and read on...
THE REST OF THE STORY

MICHIGAN GENEALOGICAL COUNCIL

WE NEED YOUR HELP !

Dear MGC member, society delegates and presidents; Each year, the budget process to fund the Archives of Michigan and Library of Michigan is a push and pull strategy between the Governor, House, and Senate. This year, the legislature could use a nudge from us. Both the House and Senate have passed differing versions of the budget for the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the home department for the Archives of Michigan, as explained in greater detail below.
 
Please ask your Michigan members to email their legislators.  Governor Whitmer’s FY2023 Executive Budget for the Department of Natural Resources includes $485,000 in one-time funding for the Archives of Michigan to digitize information that is preserved only on microfilm and cassette or reel-to-reel tapes that are reaching the end of their life-cycle, as well as some frequently used paper records. The microfilm and tapes, once thought to be a stable, permanent solution to records preservation, is starting to go through the natural process of decay—becoming brittle, adhering to itself and losing bits of information.
 
Records included are Corporations and Securities Annual Reports used in legal business transactions, state census records, tax rolls, Michigan House and Senate legislative hearings 1970-2013, indexes to fifty years of Wayne County Probate Court records, and Civilian Conservation Corps photographs. Digitization will both preserve and provide better access to these records that are of value to Michigan businesses, family historians, government transparency, and historians.
 
The Michigan House of Representatives has adopted a budget that completely removes this line item. The Michigan Senate Appropriations Committee has adopted  Bill (SB) 839 (S-2), which reduces the amount to $133,400--enough to make digital copies but not enough for people to add the data that makes the digital files usable and searchable.
 
The next steps in the budget process are Conference Committee work that involves the Governor and both houses of the legislature. 
This is an excellent time for stakeholders to voice their support of the investments contained in the FY 2023 Executive Budget, particularly the Archival Record Digitization that will preserve and provide access to records essential to Michigan business and legal transactions, and used by family historians (genealogists), government researchers, and academics.
 
Please urge your State Senator and Representative to encourage the members of the soon to be named Conference Committee to include full funding for digitizing, cataloging, and metadata so these records will be preserved before further deterioration and usable. The most effective communication with legislators is one in your own words. Pre-written letters are not very effective. Pick one or two points you feel passionate about and write about them...TODAY.

FOOD WE CELEBRATE THIS MONTH

NATIONAL DONUT DAY - FRIDAY JUNE 3RD

Picture
      Every year on the  first Friday of June, America celebrates one of their favorite cakes - the Donut. National Donut Day, or National Doughnut Day, was first observed in 1938 as a way to commemorate the Salvation Army Lassies who served donuts to the soldiers of World War I. Nowadays, it is also the perfect excuse to indulge in one or two of these fried-dough delicious cakes.
Origins
     
​     During World War I in 1917, the Salvation Army sent a convoy to France to try and find out what the American soldiers on the frontlines needed and missed from back home. This mission showed that the troops were in need of social centers where they could socialize with each other, have their clothes mended, and have food and confectionary from back home. These centers were built and called "huts", and female volunteers were present there to serve as "mothers" for the troops.     
      250 Salvation Army volunteers were then deployed to France to serve in these huts. Because the social centers were set up in old, abandoned buildings the women found it hard to provide freshly cooked food. The alternative they found was donuts, which were often fried in oil inside of the soldiers' helmets. These women became known as Doughnut Lassies or Doughnut Girls, and provided a source of comfort to the soldiers with their baked goods. The donuts became so popular that on a busy day the Doughnut Girls would fry over 300 donuts.  
     National Donut Day was first officially observed in 1938 in Chicago, as a way to raise money for The Salvation Army, so they would have the means to help those who were hit by the Great Depression. It was also a way to honor the bravery and service of The Salvation Army Lassies. In Chicago, National Donut Day is still commemorated with a fundraiser for The Salvation Army, which has the support of big donut selling establishments such as Krispy Kreme and Hurts Donut.
America's Favorite Cake
     
Donuts first arrived in America by the hands of Dutch settlers in 1809 and has since been Americans' favorite confectionery. Over half of Americans claim to love donuts, and they are one of the most popular cakes to bring into the office. Every year, an estimated 10 billion donuts are sold in the United States.  
​     The most requested flavor is the simple and original Glazed Donut, followed by Boston Cream and Jelly Filled. Generally, people tend to go to the established Krispy Kreme and Dunkin' Donuts to get their favorite cake, but independent and handmade donut shops are growing in popularity. Many of these donut stores give away free donuts for National Donut Day as well!

Tracing Your Ancestors from 1066 to 1837
Picture
     The trail that an ancestor leaves through the Victorian period and the twentieth century is relatively easy to follow – the records are plentiful, accessible and commonly used. But how do you go back further, into the centuries before the central registration of births, marriages and deaths was introduced in 1837, before the first detailed census records of 1841? How can you trace a family line back through the early modern period and perhaps into the Middle Ages? Jonathan Oates’s clearly written new handbook gives you all the background knowledge you need in order to go into this engrossing area of family history research.
     He starts by describing the administrative, religious and social structures in the medieval and early modern period and shows how these relate to the family historian. Then in a sequence of accessible chapters he describes the variety of sources the researcher can turn to. Church and parish records, the records of the professions and the courts, manorial and property records, tax records, early censuses, lists of loyalty, militia lists, charity records – all these can be consulted. He even includes a short guide to the best methods of reading medieval and early modern script.
     Jonathan Oates’s handbook is an essential introduction for anyone who is keen to take their family history research back into the more distant past

TRADITONS AND GENEALOGY

FATHER'S DAY​
Picture
Father's day honors fatherhood and the contribution of fathers to the society. The day celebrates father figures, among them biological fathers, stepfathers, foster fathers, grandfathers, and great-grandfathers. In the US, the day is observed on the third Sunday of June every year. The Father's Day weekend is usually full of celebrations as families treat their fathers to lunches and trips.
History of Father's Day
The idea of Father's Day can be traced back to 1910. It is believed that Mrs. Sanora Smart Dodd is the brain behind this day. Sanora, along with her five siblings were brought up by his father after their mother died in childbirth. His father neither remarried nor placed his children under the care of others.  Because of this, Dodd was grateful to his father, William Jackson Smart - a civil war veteran, and he wanted to honor him.  Her noble idea of Father's Day came about after hearing a sermon about Mother's day by Anna Jarvis at Central Methodist Episcopal Church. She later approached her pastor and proposed there be a day honoring fathers, which would mirror Mother's Day. Dodd proposed to have Father's Day observed in June, which happened to be his father's birthday month.

Ancestry® developed a technology called SideView™ to sort this out using DNA matches. Because a match is usually related to you through only one parent, your matches can help us “organize” the DNA you share with them. 
SideView™ technology powers your ethnicity inheritance—the portions of each region you inherited from each parent. This enables us to provide your ethnicity inheritance without testing your parents (though we don’t know which parent is which).
