Many regional library systems subscribe to databases that can offer useful
insights into your family history research. These resources go beyond the
library edition of ancestry.com, yet they are often overlooked by those whose
only focus on ancestry.com. Typically, these databases are open to anyone who
comes to a branch of the regional library system. If you happen to be a resident
of the regional library service area, your own library card may also give you
access to the resource from your computer at home.
Both Seattle Public and Tacoma Public libraries subscribe to Biography and
Genealogy Master Index. This is a database of r efer ences to biogr aphical
sketches that appear in other publications. It is a quick way to find a volume of
a “Who’s Who” kind of directory without having to search through many years
to get the sketch of someone in your tree. The next step then is to go directly to
the designated volume to get your biographical information. This one index
covers the biographical entries in more than 1000 volumes and editions of
important current and retrospective biographical reference sources. With one
search you cover more than 15 million biographies on nearly 5 million people
(living and deceased) from all fields of endeavor.
A related tool that is available at Seattle Public libraries, King County Libraries,
Sno-Isle, Tacoma and Timberland libraries is Biography in Context. This
database covers stories that appeared in periodicals and multimedia about many
influential people in many periods of history. It is an easy way to find stories
about relevant events and the people involved in those events. A search for
Elisha P Ferry returned one “reference” and clicking on that linked me to an
extended biographical sketch including parents and family of Ferry, along with a
summary of his career.
The Gale Virtual Reference Library is offered by several of the regional library
systems in Western Washington. This offers a series of digitized books on a
wide variety of topics. It is not uniquely a genealogical resource, but it is a very
useful place for background information from history, travel, and the arts. There
are many sketches in encyclopedia format that tell about specific persons and
specific communities in which your family may have lived in the past.

YOUR REGIONAL LIBRARY
Continued from page1
A searchable database for the New York Times Historical (1851-2009) is a gr eat resour ce for finding news
items and obituary notices for persons in the greater New York City area. Seattle Public Library also offers a
database of The Seattle Times from 1900 to the present. Searches in these newspapers are easy to do and the
clarity of the images leads to very good copies.
Heritage Quest Online is now offer ed in a new for mat by the Seattle Public Libr ary. This database is
now a subsidiary of ancestry.com and offers useful resources for the genealogist. It gives you access to the
US Census records from 1790 to 1940, the slave schedules of 1850 and 1860, mortality schedules from 1850
to 1885, and US Indian Census rolls from 1885 through 1940. They also provide clear images of Census
Tracts for every state – taken from the 1987 Map Guide to the US Federal Census by Thorndale and
Dollarhide. They still offer the more than 28,000 digitized books of family and local history, the
Revolutionary War pension and bounty land warrant files, and the records of the Freedman’s Bank for the
1865-1874 period after the Civil War. Tacoma Public and Timberland libraries also subscribe to this service,
but it is no longer available at King County libraries.
King County Library System does offer access to 19th Century Newspapers, a database with excellent
images from a large number of newspapers across the country. However, consecutive issues may be very
short in some areas or extensive in others. The Boston Courier is offered in full-text coverage from 30
March 1826 to 08 January 1898, the Boston Daily Advertiser is fully covered from 1855 to 1899, and the
Boston Investigator runs from 23 April 1831 through 30 March 1895.
King County libraries and the Timberland libraries also have access to the Newspaper Archive in the
“academic library edition” which has selected issues from newspapers across the United States and Canada.
Sno-Isle Regional Library also subscribes to America’s Obituaries and Death Notices (National) and World
Vital Records.
CONGRATULATIONS TO NEHGS
The New England Historic Genealogical Society is rapidly closing in on its 170th anniversary. Its premier
publication, The Register, was first published in January, 1847. As the society moves toward this milestone,
it has changed the layout of its journal and has expanded its editorial focus. It will now offer content with
national and international topics while still retaining the former emphasis on New England, New York State
and out migrations from New England.
The Fiske Library is proud to hold a complete run of The Register from 1847 to the present. Come take a
look!

Volunteer Organization
The Fiske Genealogy Library is a non-profit
organization run exclusively by volunteers. We
enjoy family history research, solving mysteries,
helping others and preserving the past. Gary
Zimmerman, President of the Fiske Genealogical
Foundation, volunteers nearly half time at the
Fiske. Others volunteer their time regularly for one
or two half days each week or commit to one day a
week, or a day a month to assist researchers.
Expansion of the Fiske Library
We have more than doubled the size of the
collection since the death of Arthur Fiske nearly
20 years ago. Currently our income is
approximately $3,000 short of meeting our annual
expenses The Library operates on a very limited
budget, yet we have entered over 11,000 titles into
World Cat, which is an ongoing process. The Fiske
is becoming one of the better known genealogical
libraries in the United States, but as more
researchers utilize online resources, including the
Fiske, fewer researchers visit the Library.

BOOK REVIEW—Genealogy and the Law:
A Guide to Legal Sources for the Family
Historian by Kay Haviland Freilich & William
B. Freilich
Contributed by Karen V. Sipe
The subjects of law and legalese can be
overwhelming. This book is designed to give you
an understanding of legal sources and how to access
them.
Starting with an overview of law and providing
ways to understand and find definitions to legal
terms past and present, chapters 3 and 4 explain the
types of law in a way that is concise and easy to
understand.
With your newfound understanding of law, the
authors introduce a variety of legal reference
sources valuable to every genealogist. Since you
want to use these sources, the next chapter takes
you through a number of ways to access them. Law
libraries and online services are explained and
described in chapter 6.
Sourcing legal books or cases is a bit different from
standard book citations. To be sure you get it right,
there is a whole chapter devoted to citing your
sources. Just in case you are not sure why you
should take an interest in all this law stuff, or if you
are not quite sure how to apply this wealth of
information to you genealogical pursuits, this too is
explained.
Each chapter has a set of good questions. These
questions and exercises are designed to teach,
organize, and prepare you for your own foray into
the world of law as it pertains to your research
interests. Some of the exercises gave me the
feeling that I needed more information to complete
them. If this happens, I recommend you read further
chapters and come back to the questions that puzzle
you.
As an advocate for encouraging genealogists to use
their local law libraries, I find this to be perfectly
matched to the needs of genealogists and non-legal
researchers.

Fold3.com WWII Cadet Nursing Corps Card Files
Contributed by Cindy Walton
In honor of Women’s History Month in March, Fold3 added a new collection that contains membership
cards of women who joined the corps.
In 1943 the Cadet Nursing Corps was created under the auspices of the U.S. Public Health Service. The
corps filled an expanding demand for nurses that had been exacerbated by WWII. The program was
administered between 1943 and 1948. Approximately 179,000 students aged 17 to 35 joined the corps and
about 124,000 graduated.
The funding for the program came from the federal government and the majority of nursing schools
participated. A 36-month program was shortened to 30 months with hands-on health care experience in
either a hospital or a health agency for the last six months of the program. Cadets received free tuition and
fees, free uniforms, and a monthly stipend for their commitment after graduation to serve in civilian or
military healthcare positions for the duration of the war.
Do you have a relative who served in the Cadet Nursing Corps? If so, look for her in the WWII Cadet
Nursing Corps Card Files at

One of the Very Best Blogs for a Genealogist
Contributed by Karen V. Sipe
A couple of weeks ago while teaching a class at Fiske, I discovered a very sad thing. No one in class had
heard of Judy Russell or her blog. Here is a review for everyone and I hope you search out Judy’s blog and
enjoy it as much as I do.
Getting to know Judy
She is better known these days as “The Legal Genealogist”. Judy has a law degree from Rutgers School of
Law-Newark and has worked as a federal prosecutor, law editor, and has been an adjunct member of the
faculty at Rutgers Law School. Coupling her law background with her strong genealogical background,
(CG, CGL) she shares a wealth of knowledge genealogists just couldn’t get elsewhere. There is a good
biography on her home page for further reading.
Let me brag for her
She has been named in the, American Bar A ssociation Journal’s “Blawg 100” two years in a row. The top
100 has a Niche category and she has been the popular vote winner: http://www.abajournal.com/blawg100.
In January she received the Silver Tray Award from the Utah Genealogical Association, and most recently
made the top 100 Most Popular Genealogy site 2015 coming in 86 but ranking 2 nd in the blog category.
Seattle was blessed a year or so ago when Seattle Genealogical Society had her as their seminar speaker.
She uses her background in Law to provide information and answers to questions about all things legal
found in the documents we spend so much time searching for. Archaic language, phrases and laws have
provided many wonderful topics. Her writings are in English not legalese.
If you have an interest in DNA, this is a great blog to follow. Her love for DNA testing provides good
examples and information for the genetic genealogist. She has fun with her blog, which makes it an easy
and informative read.
You can find Judy at: http://legalgenealogist.com/
