==> Indiana Census Records: 1860
======================================================================
With the information provided in the census (names, ages, birthplaces
and more, depending on the census year), you can immediately fill in
holes in your family tree. Censuses help you pinpoint a family's
location at a particular time. When you know where a family lived,
you know where to look for other important records, such as county
records of births, marriages, and deaths.

======================================================================
==> Pennsylvania, 1850 Census Microfilm Records
======================================================================
Often referred to as the first modern census, the 1850 census employed
improved techniques for collecting information. For the first time,
enumerators were provided printed instructions that explained their
responsibilities, census procedures, and the intent behind census
questions. These instructions accounted for a greater degree of
accuracy in the census record.

==> Collecting Friends, Neighbors, and Assorted Associates
======================================================================
If you�ve been reading this newsletter for any length of time, you�ve
probably heard me or one of the other columnists recommending that you
investigate the friends, neighbors, in-laws, and other contemporaries
of your ancestors. Yes, that means more people to organize and more
papers to file. (Are those groans I hear?)

I know, I know, I can relate. I have a hard enough time trying to keep
track of the people...

==> Upside Down Tombstone Photos
======================================================================
How many times have any of you readers found yourselves in a cemetery
trying to photograph a grave stone or marker with the sun at your back
and all you have is your shadow covering the marker? Just step to the
other side of the stone to let the sun shine on the marker, lean over
it and snap away. When you have the...

==> Search Old Furniture for Hidden Treasures
======================================================================
I'm not sure where the practice started in my family (I know my
grandmother on my mom's side did it), but I have found hidden papers
under drawers, maybe because the space was flat, relatively large, and
not easily disturbed.

I think the first time I found old papers was when I...

==> Visions of the Future
======================================================================
Last month I saw the future of photography, not in a crystal ball, but
at the PhotoPlus Expo in New York City. Aldus Huxley in Brave New World
couldn�t have imagined where the medium is going. If you�re having
trouble adjusting to digital photography, just wait until you see what�s
new. I�ve got the latest scoop on cameras, new products and even what
photography will look like in the next decade.

important information you find.
