The above list of my Tibbetts relatives (and their spouses) buried at Harlington Cemetery in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa was copied and pasted from a .PDF I created in Legacy 9.  I think I will end up with quite a few more people on the list by the time I am done***.

This is a big reason for my purchasing the Legacy software.  I can create lists, so if I am ever in a place where my relatives are buried I can see at a glance who they are.  I have yet to figure out a way to include plot numbers, birth/death dates, etc. in this report, but it is a start and I'm still learning. Can't do this in Ancestry.com!


***haha, like I'm ever going to be done!

Fantastic Find: Maricopa County Jury List Published in the Newspaper "Arizona Republic" - Did Other Newspapers Publish This Type of List?

My 2nd cousin 2x removed Ruth Lee (Sweet) Loffer (related on my Hartley side) is listed among those eligible for jury duty.  I didn't know about this type of newspaper record before today!  

Here I was today, happily adding hashtags to the profiles of people in my tree, and cross-referencing information from census and directory records to newspaper articles, and what do I find?  A collection of short profiles of citizens eligible for jury duty in Maricopa County, Arizona in 1948.  I will have to see if any other newspapers did this?

Arizona Republic (Phoenix, Arizona) from Newspapers.com
26 Nov 1948, Fri

Maricopa County Jury List
The Following persons were selected and reported for jury duty in the Maricopa County Superior Court on Tuesday, November 23, 1948.  This list supplements that printed in the Arizona Weekly Gazette Friday, November 12, 1948, covering persons selected and reporting for duty on November 9, 1948.  All persons selected and reporting prior to these dates have been dismissed from further jury duty now.

Tuesday Tip: Don't Forget to Use WorldCat for Making Lists of Sources

Why didn't I think of starting this sooner?

The video "WorldCat Lists" above is from 2008, but it gives some great ideas on organizing searches on WorldCat, for genealogy or any other area of study.  What is WorldCat?:

WorldCat is the world's largest network of library-based content and services. WorldCat is a "master" catalog of library materials. It's a way for you to locate a book, video or other item of interest and discover which libraries near you own the item. Individual member libraries in your community and elsewhere provide the actual services, such as loaning you a book or providing access to online articles.
WorldCat lets you search the collections of libraries in your community and thousands of other libraries around the world.

So yesterday I set up my own free account with WorldCat, and started looking for materials relating to early Anderson County, Tennessee history.

This snapshot of my newly created WorldCat account profile gives an indication of the types of ways you can organize your lists, as well as saving searches and favorite libraries.

I've just created an account, so I didn't create a customized list yet.  I did throw a bunch of materials that relate to early records in Anderson County, Tennessee in the default list "Things to Check Out".  I'll have to make a list called Anderson County TN to make it more organized for later viewing.

You can look at the generated Citation View (I chose Chicago, naturally).

------------------------

BTW: Slightly off-topic, but many (most?) public and university libraries now have the ability for you to add lists to your account online if you are a member.  For example, I know there is a journal on Connecticut genealogy called the Connecticut Nutmegger, but it is not available online for free, but I found that the Downtown branch of my local library (San Diego Public Library) carries a run of the title in its reference section.  So I have made a list on my account called Genealogy to put the titles I am interested in looking at when I go down there next time (particularly reference).

I can click on the "Connecticut Nutmegger" to view the call number.

I may be 10 years behind on using lists to improve my searching effectiveness, but I'm getting there!  I'll eventually make it into the 21st century LOL
