A Message from our President
One of the projects that we have been working on for the past several years is an index
of the marriages in Napa County, from 1850 to 1975. The marriages after 1975 have been
available at the Napa County Recorders Office for some time. We have completed the index of
marriages, from 1850 to 1975, and they are now also available on the computers at the Napa
County Recorders Office, 900 Coombs Street, Napa, CA. Our Society has published a listing
of these marriages and they are available in a book at our Library. If you believe that one of
your ancestors was married in Napa County we now can check and advise you of the date of
marriage if it occurred in Napa County. Our next project is to make a listing of the names in
the Great Register Voter Registration for Napa.
The May 20, 2010 meeting of the Napa Genealogy Society will be our annual Open
House at the Library from 12 noon to 3:00 PM. Volunteers will be available at the Library to
answer questions and give brief tours for those who have not been able to visit our Library recently. This has been an successful event in the past years and we hope to continue in the future.
For our annual fund raiser and Wine Drawing, we have been collecting wines from the donor
wineries. Members will be receiving their raffle tickets in the mail in June and our drawing will
be on Thursday evening, August 19, 2010 at the Napa Senior Center. We will need volunteers to
sell raffle tickets at the Napa Valley Wine Train Station and a signup sheet will be available at
the Library. We hope you will be able to support our annual fund raising effort.

Jabber from Janice
First, I want to refer you to a blog site by Robert Ragan,
Treasure Maps Genealogy. It is a genealogy and family tree how-to
help site well worth exploring.
This particular article <http://amberskyline.com/treasuremaps/genealogy-products/
beware-of-these-3-fraudulent-genealogy-sites.html> talks about fraudulent sites that want
you to subscribe and offer nothing in return. Do not get taken in by such sites as there are
many reputable subscription sites that offer great sources of information. I especially like,
such as <http://www.ancestry.com/>, <http://www.footnote.com/> and <http://
www.genealogy.com>, <http://www.worldvitalrecords.com/>
There are many non-subscription sites with lots of free information available to researchers. Also, check with your local library for their subscriptions. Napa City County Library has access to Heritage Quest Online and ProQuest over the internet. Get a library
card and login from home. If you have not logged in for some time, you may be amazed at
the new information online with these free sites. Here are some well respected sites
<http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/>, <http://pilot.familysearch.org/>, <http://
usgenweb.org/>, <http://www.worldgenweb.org/>
Be sure to check these out first before spending on a subscription.
Now for some interesting websites to check out:
Irish records:

RESEARCH SUCCESS STORY
By member Madeline Vavricka
All of my family history is in England. I subscribe to two mailing lists through Rootsweb which involve my home counties. These mailing lists are open to all who wish to participate, seek help, or offer suggestions. Plus you have access to view other lister’s questions and subsequent responses from many people, be they new, experienced or professional researchers. Since I have subscribed to the list I have learned an amazing amount
of detail about my homelands and family history in general.
In July of 2009 I noticed a lister had included surnames she was researching, two of
these names were names I was researching, ―Stevenson and Tapley, circa 1822‖. I responded to here through the list and as it turned out our Stevenson's were cousins. She
had done much research on the collateral lines and sent me family information on my William Stevenson. I was very grateful to her for sharing her work and in return helped to
confirm findings for this family through LDS films.
Then things got better and better.
Late in 2009, after a lot of unsuccessful searching , and going through many LDS
films from Salt Lake I asked for help to locate the birth record for my 3x Gt Grandfather,
the above William Stevenson, born about 1786 and his marriage record to a Martha Partridge, about 1808. I knew nothing about Martha, having concentrated on the male line. To
my amazement I quickly received a message which said ―I can’t help you with your William
Stevenson but I have Martha’s ancestry. Would you like it?‖ I am indebted to a very generous lady, to whom I am very distantly related somehow—we can’t work that out just yet– I
now have 8 generations of Martha’s paternal line, dating back to the earliest record of a
burial in 1608, including sources quoted; parish records, wills and photos of her parents
gravestones and the village church.
My new friend told me that she and her husband retired about 2 years ago to a
―quiet, pretty village‖ and since then she has discovered that she now actually lives in her
own ancestral village.

A BOOK REVIEW
Book Report
By Karen Burzdak
Wilderness at Dawn, The Settling of the North American Continent by Ted Morgan was
suggested through the book readings section of Family History magazine. It was not
touted to be a genealogy book but one on our American heritage. When I finally got
around to ordering it from the library, it took well over four weeks before it was my turn to
reserve it. Non-fiction books that are 500 pages take over 3 weeks to read, but it was well
worth the wait.
It starts from prehistoric man’s journey across the Bering Straits and into North America,
the various ―discoveries‖ of the North American Continent, and through to the surveying of
the lands to the Mississippi. Unlike other history books, this one takes us through various
stories or incidents. You get an in-depth picture of life as it was lived by the common person.
Shovel of Stars, The Making of the American West 1800 to the present starts where the
previous book left off. The theme of each chapter is the settling of the remaining territories
and states. At the present I am half-way through this book and would highly recommend
both books if you like American history from the ground up.
“In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our
future” ……………Alex Haley

"If Your Ancestor Owned Land, Then There's a Deed," by William Dollarhide
Dollarhide's Genealogy Rule #23: Locating the county where your ancestor lived is the first
step in finding records about the time he was hauled into court for shooting his neighbor's
dog, threatening the census taker with a shotgun, or making illegal corn whiskey behind
the barn.
A 90-Percent Chance
Since the first colonists came to this continent, land ownership has always been an important part of our American society. As an example, nine out of ten adult white males in
America owned land before 1850. Even today, the figure is more than 50 percent.
With this nearly universal coverage before 1850, and since genealogical research starts
getting more difficult about that time, it's a wonder that family historians are not using landownership records more often to solve their genealogical puzzles.
For instance, did you know that there is a surname index to virtually every land owner in
America since the early 1600s--an index that is more complete than any head-ofhousehold census index ever compiled? And did you know that you have a 90-percent
chance of finding your ancestor in that land-ownership index? The land-ownership index is
not combined into a single name list. There are thousands of them. Usually called a
"Grantee-Grantor" index, they can be found in the courthouse of any of the 3,141 counties
in the U.S. Together, they comprise the largest index naming residents of the U.S., particularly for the period 1629 to 1860.
There are few indexes used by genealogists that offer a 90-percent chance of finding the
right person. Even today, a modern telephone directory gives the names of only those
households with a publicly listed telephone number. A recent study in Los Angeles County,
California, for instance, revealed that about 20 percent of the telephone numbers are
unlisted numbers. Yet there is a surname index for Los Angeles County that gives the
names of 90 percent of the heads of household of that county during the 1850s and later.
Let's take the 1840 census as an example. In 1840, the names of the heads of household
are all that are shown. But if you were to look at the Grantee/Grantor index for the same
county, you may discover that one household could have more than one landowner. Say
you find in the census that the head of household is John Smith, Jr. But what you don't
know is that living in the same household is John Smith, Sr., and maybe even John Smith,
III, and each of them owns a piece of property. Only John Smith, Jr. is listed in the 1840
head of household census, but the Grantee/Grantor index lists all three landowners.
We genealogists eventually recognize the significance of land ownership as we attempt to
locate records of our ancestors. But, at first blush, we may not see the importance of land
records because they do not seem to give us the vital genealogical facts we are after, i.e.,
names of parents, dates, children, and so on.
But genealogists who dig deeper into the land records will discover that land grants and
deeds can provide evidence of the places where an ancestor lived and for how long, when
he moved into or moved out of a county, and, in many cases, a surprising amount of detailed information about a person.
