DATA, DATA -- WHO'S GOT THE DATA? Do you have a database you
would like to share with the worldwide genealogy community? What
about your genealogical or historical society? Does it have a
database or index to some records (in ASCII format) that would
be helpful to others? If so, in most instances, RootsWeb would
be proud to host these. (See below regarding files you create in
your genealogy software program.)
RootsWeb's programmers can do magic with databases, plus we
offer incredible search engines that will enable others to find
and utilize the material you have so carefully compiled. If you
think that your database would be of value to RootsWeb's users
and you would like to share, send a message to Robert Tillman
rr...@rootsweb.com and tell him about your database. Please do
not send the database with the initial message.

WORLDCONNECT TIP: Searchable Database or WorldConnect?
You have a genealogical collection you might like to submit for
RootsWeb programmers to transform into a searchable database.
Consider whether your file might be better suited for
WorldConnect. http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/
Files that are more suitable for WorldConnect include one-name
studies or any compiled records (for example, of immigrants who
settled in a given community, cemetery records, church records)
in a database that is stored in a genealogy program and so can
be converted easily to a GEDCOM and submitted to WorldConnect.
WorldConnect has specialized features designed to make your
genealogy file customizable and universally searchable.
Flexibility in the display of your data, the capability of
allowing others to download portions of your GEDCOM, as well as
allowing you to download the entire file, are features that
often make WorldConnect the better choice.
For an explanation of GEDCOM, see "Using Technology to Dig up
Roots" at http://www.rootsweb.com/~rwguide/lesson2.htm
Find WORLDCONNECT TIPS at http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/tips/
and FAQs at http://helpdesk.rootsweb.com/help/wchelp.html

http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/gedcom/
The WORLDCONNECT database contains more than 33 million names.

WHEN THE WEDDING BELLS RING
by Carol Gunby, Genealogy.com
Welcome to the beginning of wedding season! With brides and
grooms busy making their final preparations, it seems a good
time to look at what marriage records have to offer us in our
research.
TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE. One of the most helpful things about
marriage records is that they provide a "two-fer" -- you get
information about both the bride and the groom. Depending on the
date and locality of the marriage, this may include the names of
both sets of parents; the name of the minister or official who
performed the marriage; where the bride and groom were living at
the time of the marriage; and the names of the witnesses, who
are often relatives. You will generally at least find full names
of the bride and groom and the date and location of the marriage.
FINDING THE BRIDE'S LINE. As mentioned in last month's column,
records on female ancestors can often be difficult to find, due
to laws and customs which limited their participation in public
life. However, marriage records are an excellent way to trace a
woman if you already know the name of her husband. The marriage
license will normally list the bride under her full maiden name,
and if you are lucky enough to come across one of the more
comprehensive licenses, it will list her parents. These two
pieces of information are a great start in tracing her family.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. One of the best aspects of
marriage records is that they tie both the bride and groom to a
particular place and time. This can be helpful if you're trying
to trace a person's movements between censuses, for instance. An
1850 census may show your ancestor in Iowa, but when you look
for him in the same location in 1860, he's no longer there.
However, if you find a marriage record that shows he got married
in Iowa in 1856 but was living in Nebraska, you would know to
redirect your 1860 census search to Nebraska.
FINDING FURTHER RECORDS. One final use of marriage records is as
a bridge to church records. A marriage license often lists the
minister, and sometimes the name of the church, if a marriage
was performed there. Assuming your ancestors stayed in one place
for a while, you may be able to find church records for other
family rites such as baptisms, confirmations, and funerals.
Sometimes churches also acted as the recorders of vital records,
so in addition to the ritual records, you might also find birth
and death records. Using these records can help you make the
links to their children and parents.

CONNECTING THROUGH ROOTSWEB. Thanks for sharing your stories.
MAKING CONTACT WITH A RELATIVE
by George Curry N8...@aol.com
It never pays to ignore the different search engines available
at RootsWeb. A case in point: I was surfing the different sites
available and came across the name Ross CAROTHERS. I checked a
list I had obtained from a relative and sure enough there he
was. I sent an e-mail and the rest is, so to speak, history. My
contacts were Ellen and Floyd Chios . . . It seems all of my
paternal grandmother's relatives are also connected to them.
Through our contacts we discovered relatives going back to the
early 1700s and even found a Civil War connection. So keep
looking, folks, and you'll find the answers to your questions.

COUSIN FINDINGS
by Shirley Baxter baxt...@prodigy.net
I had been working for at least 10 years on any connection with
my great-grandmother MOBLEY's family, but it wasn't until I got
on the Internet and found RootsWeb that my search paid off. A
year or two ago, I put a query on a MOBLEY surname list and my
first break came. A great-granddaughter of a brother of my
great-grandmother answered my query and my first connection
was made. We corresponded via e-mail and swapped photographs of
our ancestors and other information. We wanted to find out if
there were any descendants of other siblings of my great-
grandmother and my contact's great-grandfather. We learned the
married names of their sisters and from that searched for any
connection. In January 2000, I answered a query on two of those
familiar-sounding married names and hit pay dirt. In February,
while passing through Georgia, I decided to take a side trip to
Newnan where we stayed overnight and contacted one of those
descendants. A nice man met my husband and me at our motel and
invited us to his home where he had a family Bible. We copied
information from the Bible, had dinner, and the next day
traveled to Gadsden, Alabama, where we did some research about
our common great-great-grandfather, David Meador MOBLEY. A big
thank you for the Internet and RootsWeb, which got me started
on this venture. And thanks for those queries. They are indeed
helpful and many times the only source for finding our lost
roots.

A great big thank you for posting the California Birth and Death
Indexes online. I just heard the great news and have spent the
last six hours updating just one line of my family tree and soon
will begin on the other. In so many cases, I had a year and
nothing else. But now with these great helpers, I have been able
to locate more complete information and, in some cases, to learn
the fate of some of my family of whom I had lost track. I also
want to thank you for adding the Post-ems capability as I found
discrepancies that I was able to note for future researchers.
Many thanks to your great team of volunteers for all their hard
work.
