At our
planning
meeting
l a s t
August, the
H G S G
B o a r d
decided we
should
give more
help to
those who
are just beginning in genealogy.
Accordingly, we have instituted a
mentoring program in the Hudson
Library Archives. There are eight
volunteers willing to give
beginners a helping hand at using
a computer to search for
ancestors.
All a beginning genealogist
needs to do is contact the Hudson
Library Archives at
330-653-6658, ext. 2017 and
explain that he or she would like
assistance with getting started.
Our Archivist will give your
name and phone number to a
seasoned volunteer who will
contact you to set up an
appointment convenient for both
of you. The results have been
pleasing. New researchers leave
feeling grateful and happy that
they have made a good start and
are encouraged to carry on, and
the volunteer is glad to have been
of help.
As mentioned in a recent talk
by the LDS Director Judy Porter,
finding family from the past is as
important as keeping track of
current family before we lose
them. If you are a beginning
member, please don't hesitate to
take advantage of this service.

HUDSON GREEN!
Payment Due
Upon Exit
by Elsie M. Thomas
Genealogists thrill when they
happen upon the obituary of an
ancestor. No wonder; there is a
world of information to be found
in them. They give details about
not only the deceased, but also
the survivors: who they were and
sometimes where they lived at the
time of the ancestor's death.
Some of the names mentioned as
survivors are the very ones you've
been chasing for years, and now
you've nailed them!
I read in an online newsletter
that nowadays some big city
newspapers are charging
unbelievably high fees, like
$450.00, to run one of these
notices, especially in the Los
Angeles area. I decided to find
out what is happening in our
vicinity and was glad to learn that
fees in this area are not nearly so
high.
Local newspapers differ in
how they handle what I thought
of as obituaries. Most of those we
read are death notices. A staff
member of the Cleveland Plain
Dealer explained to me the
difference. Death notices are
written by either a family member
or close friend who knew the
deceased well enough to be able
to describe attributes and hobbies,
knows date of birth and death,
parents, and often the mother's
maiden name, siblings, children
and grandchildren—all items of
intense interest to the genealogist.
The newspaper levies a charge for
each line and extra for a
photograph--$20 at the Plain
Dealer, and what amounts to
seven lines of text for a photo in
the Akron Beacon Journal, closer
to $30. If the scribe gets carried
away and writes a really long
DECEMBER 2010
description, it can cost a sizeable
sum. Usually a funeral director
will help.
Obituaries are biographies the
editorial board decides to run
about a person who has made a
significant contribution to the
community, or possibly to the
nation, in one form or another.
The family of the deceased is not
asked to pay for these. If a photo
of the deceased is available, it
will be included. Sometimes these
obituaries are written long before
a celebrity has died, ready to
publish with just a few minor
adjustments when the person
actually dies.
Our local Hudson Hub-Times
makes no charge at all, but
accepts information only from the
funeral director. He/she gets the
information directly from the
nearest kin, or in some cases,
friend, thereby absolving the
newspaper of the responsibility of
ensuring accuracy of the
information submitted. (Be aware
that occasional mistakes are made
by persons giving such
information.)
At the Akron Beacon Journal,
if a death notice is to be run on a
weekend, it costs a bit more per
line than on a weekday. More
people read newspapers on the
weekend than through the
working week, so the number of
readers reached is much larger.
In my own experience, I had
been looking for anything I could
find on a second cousin with
whom I had lost touch. I knew
she had lived in the vicinity of
Reading, PA, but had no clue
about where, or even exactly
when she died, nor did I know her
married surname. Information
given from memory by a family
member had her dying in the
wrong decade. Then I stumbled
upon the death notice of her
!!

father, who had lived in a
different town. It gave me the
name of his daughter, her married
name, and those of her children,
plus her exact place of residence.
I was able to go on from there and
establish a relationship with the
wife of her son, who gave me
more information than I dreamed
possible. It was a lucky find.
Another time, I learned the
city in which a cousin of my
husband had died, looked up
funeral homes in that area, took a
stab at calling the first one listed
and struck pay dirt! She was well
known and highly admired in her
community, and that particular
funeral home was proud to have
handled her services. Again, I
was able to flesh out many
details.
So genealogists, keep
searching for those death notices
or obituaries. They are often the
proverbial gold mine.

Writing
Your Own Obit
(Nancy Brock submitted this,
having read it in a Woman's Day
article from April 2008)
Did you ever think of writing
your own obituary yourself? Think
about it. Save your family the
stress at a naturally difficult time.
You can point out your activities,
highlights, education, hobbies and
accomplishments. Name the place
and date of your birth, and your
parents' names.
List your
occupations, military career and
family members. You can even
pick a picture you want to include
in the article.
Maybe another
article (shorter or longer) for a
different paper. Let your children
know your desires while you are
still able. Besides, don't leave it up
to them to make mistakes. Sit
down and take 20 minutes to put
your thoughts together, maybe
make an outline, and later touch it
up. Your family will be grateful.
Winter Researching
Now that we've finally gathered
all the leaves for disposal, it's a
good time to make a run to the
library and browse among the
many genealogy books available to
take home. The number to look for
upstairs in the stacks is 929. You
may happen upon a book that will
give just the answer to your biggest
problem. At the very least, you
will expand your knowledge about
the many ways to research. Then
curl up with a good one when the
snow flies.
I was born and raised in a
small town called Plymouth, Pa.
Immediately upon graduation from
high school, I enlisted in the U.S.
Navy. Afterward I chose public
transportation as my means of
employment. I managed public
transit in a number of U. S. cities,
and also in the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia. Upon retirement from that
position, I managed transportation
for the Cleveland school system.
Having lived overseas twice, I
travelled to many parts of Asia,
Africa, and the Philippines, as well
as to England on many occasions,
yet I never went to Wales, even
though I knew my grandparents
had come from there.
After retiring from my regular
work, I went to work full-time for
the Cleveland Church of Christ, in
which I am a deacon. It proved to
be an extremely demanding job, so
I quit that in 2002.
Seeking to keep busy, I
decided to look into my family
history. I knew that my mother's
father
was
born
in
Carmarthenshire, Wales and her
!!
4
mother in Glamorganshire, Wales.
I knew both my grandmothers, but
both grandfathers had passed prior
to my birth. Finding my greatgrandfather, David Harry, was
difficult because there were so
many by that name.
I had to
eliminate them by (1) looking for
one who had a son named Edward
Harry, (2) then finding an Edward
Harry born the same year as my
grandfather, and (3) knowing that
my grandfather was in the coalhauling business. When all three
matched, I knew I had found the
right one.
Both my great-grandparents
and my grandparents had sons
named David, Benjamin and John,
so they had to be sorted out. I used
the Welsh censuses extensively and
found my grandparents' arrival in
this country on Ellis Island records.
I used censuses right down to the
1930 census—the most recent one
published in this country. I have
also obtained marriage certificates,
pictures of the ships on which my
ancestors came to this country, and
other documentation.
While doing this research, I
discovered the history of my home
town of Plymouth, PA. It was
settled by the Connecticut Yankees
who fought against the
Pennsylvanians because King
Charles II of England first gave the
land to the Yankees, forgot, and
then gave it to William Penn.
Several battles over land
possession took place during the
Revolutionary War and finally
ended in 1799.

Yankee-Pennamite Wars in our
December 2005 issue. Anyone

Acquisitions to the Archives
New Member - Carleen Welch
By Gwendolyn Mayer, Archivist
I was born in
Garfield Heights,
Ohio and raised in
Broadview Heights.
I am a graduate of
Brecksville High
School and of the
University of
Akron. I became
interested in
genealogy in high
school when I had
to complete a
family tree for an
American History
assignment. I began
my research this past summer. My only regret is that
I did not begin it sooner when my relatives were
younger. So far, I have worked with census records
and Ellis Island manifests in search of my paternal
grandfather, who came from Italy. His name was
Salvatore Pelosi, but when he arrived at Ellis Island,
the name was changed to Sam Bluso. He never talked
about his journey, which made my father and uncle
wonder if he was a wanted man in Italy! Other family
members have attempted to find him by using trial
software subscriptions, but have been unable to find
any information.
This makes me all the more
determined to find out more about him.

The surnames I am looking for are Pelosi and
Longo on my Dad’s side, and Sheck (changed from
Szczechowski before 1930) and Farren on my mom’s
side. I believe that after Grandfather Sam came
through Ellis Island, he spent time in Nashville or
Memphis before coming to Cleveland to connect with
people he knew from his home town of San
Bartolomeo, Italy.
My mom’s family is Polish. They settled in
Pennsylvania and eventually they, too, came to
Cleveland. I have not gotten past the 1930 census on
my mom’s side because the search for Salvatore has
consumed me. I feel guilty about it; my uncle is the
last one left in my mother's family and has shared
information with me; he was really excited when I
told him about the resources at our library. I will see
him this month and I hope to talk with him more and
see the documents he has on the family.

husband is an Eagle Scout and my older son was
recently recommended to be awarded the rank. My
younger son hopes to be a future Eagle Scout.

HUDSON GREEN!
DECEMBER 2010
The Inevitable—Dues!It is past time to bring in or mail your $15
annual dues for membership in the Hudson
Genealogical Study Group. Newcomers may
well wonder what we do with the money. We use
it to bring you our yearly membership booklet, to
pay for mailing our quarterly newsletter to those
who don't have computers (we e-mail it to those
who have them), and to hire out-of-town speakers
on special topics—all to enrich your ancestorsearching experience. Paying early in the year
enables us to plan more exactly when we know
how much money we have at our disposal. When
members pay late, we have had to eliminate
securing a speaker with an important message.
