The best software programs for one-namers - a Forum survey 3y Jean-Baptiste Piggin

ne-namers are often asked what rat of computer software thcy use and the am- wen usually come down to four types. WhenthequatianwasputtotJwGuild's

online Forum thii year. many oncnuners said they were soldiering on with progmms designed for mgular family h i e . But sonre were unhappy that their data was now Wed up in programs they were no longer satisfied with.

Others said that genealogical software was not the right choice for a one-name study in progress, which differs from a family history in two ways: the mass of data can be 10 or 100 times larger and the quality of gwsses about who all those Johns and Anns are is much poorer.

If you are reluctant to laboriously enter and manipulate all your data in a traditional genealogi- cal paskage, a general-purpose office database program may well be an alternative (see the bottom half of the diagram below).

In recent years, one of these office programs, MS Access. has spawned two special programs, D- dian and Clooz, that prwide ready-made ten es for all the main classes of source (top right diagram). Both Custodian and Clooz save the in Access format.

Family tree programs Simon Martin cSMartin258Baol.com> is one of

those who swears by a standard family program, The IWls(rr Geneabgist (TMG). 'I think it is fabu- lous and use it for all my linked trees.' he told the F o N ~ . 'Okay. it may be a harp learning c u m but I think it is the best.'

Patrick Dunbar cDunbarclanuketexo.net> found TMG's online help excellent. and the user forum 'revealed many different and novel ways of utiliing the database. I thought it quite refreshing to be able to email TMG's boss Bob Velke and get a reply from him."

Starting up was not so easy: 'Did this cause me headaches! So much so that I obtained demo copies of similar software. but becoming more confused

and frustrated, I decided to plod on with TMG. 'I am now quite comfortable in using TMG and

see no reason to change to any other software. I particularly like (1) being able to allocate surety values of zero to 3 to data (zero for a guess, 3 for best); (2) the wide range of standard report formats that can be modified for individual needs; (3) the virtually unlimited file size; (4) being able to use multiple dates for single events and allocate surety values to these dates; (9 the ability to import from a wide range of sources; and (6) to link text files to store these internally or externally.'

Not so Peter Simpson <simpronOxtra.co.nz> who was a long-time user of TMG. 'In our part of the world TMG appears to have lost it' he said. 'At the last three genealogical group meetings where I helped promote the software, I regret that Legacy was outselling us 20 to nil.' Among disadvantages: its 'clunky non-Windows interface and lousy picklist'. TMG also 'faik miserably when recording a census.'

Mike Kingston cdigweedekingsway- assoc.demon.co.uk> was among those using LeOKy

its editing capabil ', noting that he was ased to find that it t good Windows feel.'

Flatfile pmgrams Notquite-Windows family tree programs fn&

trate many one-namers. who are keen to see graphical user interface software that fully expb i i capabilities provided by the computer mouse. It lets you drag and drop small or large pieces of informa- tion anywhere in a database with the same ease that you sort index cards or jigsaw puzzle pieces on a tabletop.

A 'flatfile' database - one arranged in columns, with one line per entry - makes ideal use of the mouse and is simple to understand: it can be sorted in date. alphabetical or any other order at will.

The author of this article, Jean-Baptiste Piggin cpigginhne-narne.org, keeps his main database as a 5,000-line MS lMDllrs flatfile because of limited time. He was able to assemble a complete database

in just a few weeks instead of taking months, and believes the file will be easy to convert later into a relational database oreventhedo-ev thing one-name I gramme. if such a thir ever invented.

The first problem was to obtann a complete list. To do this, you must choose a time with low usage. I did it on a Sunday mornin he result after about two hours was a printed lii 1,587 names. My next step was to transfer the data to a spreadsheet wil I columns for first namelmiddle initial. date of bird . city, state and zip (mailing ion) code. The spreadsheet would allow me ~ r t the data in various ways for analysis As I went through 1 st it was obvious that it contained dwliites, x 3f which I was able to omit as 1. I also pc a column for page number. 7 wed me 1 id the original entry and check for possible typing errors on my part durina subsequent analusis.

The occurrence of the dul tes gave me a chance to evaluate the accurac the data. While quite good, there were a few errors. Dates are in dd-MMM-yy format and I found five obvious date diiepancier: JUL vs. SER year '36 vs. '38. '26 vs. '36, 02-AUG vs. O&FEB and 05-JUL vs 1&JUL In addition to the presence or absence of a middle initial, I also noted one individual with David 5. on one record and Steven D. on another. Nine states out of the 39 with my surname listed accounted for all of the duplicates. My own state of New Hampshire was a prime duplicate provider.

Next I sorted the list by date of birth. The young- est person on the list had been born in 1979. There were entries with years such as '98. but these were for the year 1898. In one case I was able to identify the entry as a person who had d i d in 1981 - gives an indication of the age of rome of the --- The concept of sending such a person a birthda present is certainly an interesting one!

I sorted by state to check for completeness of data. There are a lot of my surname in the state of Vermont, but not one Vmnont resident appeared on anybidday.com.

While licences to drive are issued as early ge 16. marketers would haw little interest in ad ising to teens, hence a poss- ible explanation fol age cutoff of 21.

Next I did a mu key sect first by zip code and second by date of birth. One of the first groups that showed up in the town of Hatfield. Mass. was Roderick ti., barn 24 Aug 1943. Marilyn L barn 18 Jan 1949.

,,a and track the movement of people from place to place. This could provide an indication of the wife vs. sister question in a family group. If the same pair showed up together in a different location, the female would more likely be wife rather than sister. Unfortunately the data gives no indication of the date that a person was in a given location.

You might wonder why, since zip code ident~ location, I also entered the city and -e in me spreadsheet. The website mnnranas wn regu- larly lists obituaries from various newspapers and the obituaries sometimes give the names and resi- dences of family members This name and residence information gives me the possibility of further identifying family members using the spreadsheet without having to convert between zip code and name.

How it came about is a tale in itself, that illustrates graphically how we should new m i s s that strange effect we call serendipity. I have experi- enced it several times in the course of 25 years' researching family history - am et most 1 I members have been touched by il me time i.,.

But let me tell the story as it unfolded ... The Witches of Pendle, Lancashire, attracted

historifal legend in 1612, but a lesser known case illustrating that belief in the powers of witchcraft continued for 200 years afterwards was that of Mary Bateman, known as the Yorkshire Witch. She was born Mary Harker, the daughter of a small farmer at Aisenby. near the market town of lhirsk, in 1768.

Mary went into service when she was 13, but from an early age she was dishonest and was dismissed for pilfering. She was a compulsive liar, thief and confi- dence trickster. She was also a consummate anr- and later was to deceive her victims by persui I them she had supernatural powers.

Fortune telling In 1788. aged 20. she turned up in b

worked as a dressmaker and also myan rell~ng

fortunes. In 1792 she married, after a three weeks' courtship, a wheelwright called John Baternan. But the poor fellow came to regret the marriage when he discovered his wife's criminal tendencies. John. too. came from Thirsk and once Mary persuaded her husband

was seric ushed off to Think, only to diiover he had be wed. While he was away. his wife sold his dotht d all their furniture to repay a victim who was threatening to go to the authorities.

Another time, Mary tricked her own mother out of f 10 by telling her she needed it to secure the release of her brother who had been arrested for deserting fmm the miliia. She stole fmm a fellow lodger a watch, silver spoon and two guineas, and after a d i i fire in 1796 h e tramped the streets of Leeds gathering sheets, clothing and money from well-wishers, pretending she was collecting for the victim But she sold everything for her own benefit.

Then she took to fraud on an impressive scale. She became a professional fortune teller and invented

But the case that was to bring her to the gallows involved William Perigo, a clothier of Bramley, near Leeds, and his wife Rebecca. who believed she was cursed by an evil spirit. By telling them she could get rid of the spirit. Bateman milked the Perigos of all their worldly posesions.

Serendipity, the Guild's London Seminar and my-father's old home - By Barbara Harvey

I experienced a nnur*abk piece of personal smndipity at the Guildcs excelknt London Regional Seminar in Feb.ruy. I was born in the village of in Derbyshire. which

used to have a of only about 400 inhabitntt. During the lunch interval my attenth was caught by a poster of the Derbyshire World War I Roll of Honour and I got into wmemath with its exhibitor. Dcnnis Wadin.

At the mention of Bretby he showed me one of the Nadin newsletters and there on the cowr was a photograph of the house where my father had spent his formative years! There could be no doubt about it being the same house because of i ts wry unusual design. It is called Brizlincote Hall.

At the time of the Domesday Boor- --'zlincote was in the possession of Burton Abbey. A. ..a dissolution

of the monasteries. Sir William Paget bought it. In 1706,

Lord Stanhope, third Earl of Chesterfield,

wha main resid was at nearby by Hall, boc it and demolished the original house. replacing it with one of his own I". w h i i is ue

Brizlincote Hall, Derbyshire as it is a perfkt square with f i

bays ar each side. The earl intended it to be the residence of his heir. but he died before it was completed and the family never lived in it. It was inhabited by a distant cousin. William Barnes whose son Philip married the daughter of Sir Humphrey Trafford of Manchester. She died childless and left the remainder of the leare to her agent William Nadin. 'Villiam's youngest sons Joseph and Nathaniel ~unded the colliery firm of I. & N. Nadin Ltd.

By the mid-1870s Brizlincote Hall was occupied as a farm by my great-grandfather- The house has fantastic views, but no longer as rural as they used to be, due to the encroachment of Burtonon-Trent. Being built on a promontory, the house was exposed to the wind and having a symmetrical desiqn. the passages tramverse it. As a result. my father a b i described it as 'the draughtiest house in t kingdom.' When my greatgrandfather died 1909, hi family owned other farms, lo the tenan was not transferred. In 1923 the remainder of t Chesterfield-Camarvon estate was sold a1

Brizlincote was bought by the Lomas fan still farm there today.

When the sixth Earl of Chesterfield died. hi unmarried son and the widowed Countess lived together at Bretby Hall. In 1871 the sewnth Earl and the Prince of Wales. later Edward VII, both contracted typhoid fever.

- Prince of Wales recowred, but his friend did . .- - The estate was not entailed and so devolved on the Countess. Aftel death of his wife, Benjamin Disraeli becam frequent visitor to B m Hall and is said to I proposed to the Countess. but she grace declined. When Disraeli died. she erecte memorial plaque to him in Bretby Church. Aftet death, the estate was inherited by the descendants of her daughter, who had married the Earl of Carnarvon.

Broken up The 5th Earl of Camarvon was more interested in

Egypt and the dixovety of the tomb of Tutankhamen than the Bretby estate and it was broken up. Bretby Hall became an orthopaedic hospital. renowned for the treatment of tuberculosis when rest. fresh air and good food were the traditional regime and for which the 600- acre park was ideal. Many modern buildings have been built in the grounds.

Bretby Church was a chapelry of Repton ant are dedicated to St. Wystan. The baptism register from 1766 to 1813 was written in a parchment folio volume of unlined paper. with an average entry in the early years of five per annum. The pre-printed baptismal register runs from 1813 to 1897. Only members of the Chesterfield family were buried near to the church before 1895 when the churchyard was enlarged. For some reason, the church was not licensed for marriages until 1911. I had great difthlty in finding my greiat

grandparents on the 1881 census C& as they are indexed as Martin instead of Startin - not a spelling variation that I had thought of. But as I knew they l i d a t Wincote Hall. I managed to locate them. 0

This book explains it all quite simply. An hour or two browsing the book saves many hours on- line. A useful start is an ex I- tion of the trick to get th rt from your browser (Intemct Explorer or Netxape).
