Jasia’s Technology Review for 2011

Let me begin by saying that this tech review is being done with genealogy-tinted glasses. Which means that when I speak of my most used or favourite devices/features/apps/software it is with genealogy in mind. And, right off the bat I’ll add that I own/subscribe to all the technology I’m reviewing, I’ve purchased it myself or it was a personal gift from a family member, and I’ve not been compensated by the companies that made/created/designed/hosted it with one exception noted below.

AnceStories: The Stories of My Ancestors

http://ancestories1.blogspot.com/p/about-me.html
I speak and write about genealogy from Spokane, Washington, USA, as well as teach both beginning and intermediate courses in Online Genealogy through my local community college district. My regular career is working with special needs students at the junior high level in my local school district. I consider three locations my "home" and blog frequently about them: Alaska (where I was born and grew up); Michigan (where most of my genealogical research takes place); and Eastern Washington (my residence since 1979). My family includes my husband, a teenage son at home, an adult daughter, and two playful tabbies, Tessa and Charlie. I speak to genealogical and historical societies and other groups in the Pacific Northwest. If you would like me to make a presentation to your group or would like to see my list of topics, please contact me.

DNA Heritage, a popular genetic genealogy company intiated in 2002, has ceased operations (although pending orders will be fulfilled). The company’s website announced today that it is in the process of transferring their database and domains to Family Tree DNA.

Family Tree DNA, meanwhile, has announced that it records in the DNA Heritage database will only be placed into FTDNA’s database if the owner agrees to opt-in. FTDNA has a series of FAQs related to the transfer available here.

TV Comedy Pokes Fun at Census
Wednesday, 6 Apr 2011 | by Mark Tucker
The Canadian TV comedy, Corner Gas, takes place in the fictional small town of Dog River located in Saskatchewan.
In this episode, Hank and Oscar are hired to complete the census. The humorous result shows a genealogist’s worst case scenario for census enumerators:
NOTE: Those not familiar with the TV series might not know that the second house Hank and Oscar visit is Oscar’s own home.
Trying to do your research, do you ever feel like Hank & Oscar were hired to count your ancestor?
