Last month -David Wells of Omaha presented to our group a very informative program in regard to locating military records pertaining to our ancestors who served in the Civil War. There are many places to locate these records in many unknown places.I highly recommend his program to other Genealogical societies who have not had him as a speaker.

To illustrate the importance of this, let’s assume that in 1850 the enumerator(census taker) came to a house in mid-August. In the home was a mother caring for a month old baby. The baby could not be counted in the census because it had not yet been born on the first of June. On the other hand, suppose that in the household an individual had died a month before the visit. That person would be listed in the census as though still living because on June the first he was.
It is especially important to keep this in mind in looking at censuses
1850 and later. In these, there is a place at the top of each page
for the enumerator to enter the date of the visit. Many assume that
the questions were answered as of that visit date, but such was not the
case. Observing the census date can be very helpful in resolving
an otherwise puzzling record.

Articles from newspapers of late 1890’s thru about 1915 are noted.
Mrs Rogers was a daughter of Rev Isaac Heaton and came to Fremont as a
young girl in the 1850’s. There are handwritten accounts in the book
written by Mrs Rogers, and in some cases family history on early pioneers.
Needless to say, Claire will make use of some of the vast information in
future quarterlies and the newsletters. Thanks Jeff!
One such news
article from the Rogers scrapbook dated 1911:
Electroliers in 1874 - Councilman Henry Hoelsher had a picture of a typical scene on one of Fremont’s business streets in 1874. It is a photo of a crowd in front of the old European hotel building and shows plainly the old frame buildings, the unpaved roads and the old kerosene street lights and “electroliers of 1874”, as Mr Hoelscher termed them when showing the picture to the council last evening.

THE INTERNET CONNECTION
by Renee Bunck
![]() For those of you who do not have Internet access, I thought you might like to see what our Dodge County NEGenWeb site looks like. The “picture” below is the top of the main page. This page serves as an index to the rest of the Dodge County site, lists a count of web “visitors”, offers links to ENGS newsletters and the Czechs in NE index, provides an opportunity to read or enter a query, search the entire Dodge County site, connect to web sites for surrounding NE counties, or search the USGenWeb archives for any state. Links to other genealogy related sites and local Dodge County sites are also included. The latest addition to the information available online is an index to Fremont’s Ridge Cemetery. This index, typed by Claire Mares joins complete listings for 11 smaller cemeteries in Dodge County. Thank you, Claire, for producing this index for our web site! We do have several cemeteries to be typed and proofed if you have time to help with our project. According to the counter on the initial page, we have had over 10,000 visitors to the Dodge County site since Nov 11, 1997. In that period, 205 queries have been posted and indexed by surname. Here are some of the latest queries - #202 OldWare@aol.com Tue, 14 Dec 1999
#203 Patricia Kurtz (pekurtz@cecomet.net) Mon, 27 Dec
#204 Tammy Wild (Famtree007@aol.com) Wed, 29 Dec
#205 Linda Brink (JelenBrink@aol.com) Fri, 31

Maybe you can help someone in their search or connect with someone
researching the same line. If you do not have access to email and
you would like to contact one of the people who posted a query, I would
be glad to send your message for you. Just write down your message
and bring it to an ENGS meeting or mail it to ENGS PO box 541 attn:
Renee Bunck. For those of you who live near Fremont, we will try
to keep a current printout of the queries and surnames in the ENGS library
for reference.
Internet access is usually available at your public library. If you don’t have access at home, don’t let that keep you from locating online clues to your family history. In Fremont, Keene Memorial library has several computers available for “web surfing/research”. If you need help getting started, library personnel are available. Our ENGS web site, located on Connect Fremont can be a helpful place to start. It offers a links to the Dodge County NEGenWeb site, the USGenWeb site along with links to a variety of helpful genealogy sites. New/updated sites to check out: The Internet site that hosts most of USGenWeb, www.rootsweb.com, has expanded to offer a number of genealogy and non-genealogy areas. Of special interest is the new World Connect project that provides space for GEDCOM files. GEDCOM files are concise Genealogical Data COMmunication files that can be used to transfer family information from one genealogy program to another. Most genealogy software offers the option to create or read a GEDCOM file. Free space is being offered to house these files for genealogists and make them easily searchable by other researchers. Rootsweb does not claim ownership of these files – they can be removed at any time by the submitter. To protect the privacy of living subjects, researchers are encouraged not to include anyone born less than 100 years ago. Connect to Rootsweb and look up a few names to get a feel for the type of information included. A new site - not hosted by Rootsweb, is provided by the publisher of a new Genealogy magazine that should
soon be available on the newsstands. On this site, you can read some
of the feature articles, subscribe, sample a genealogy tool kit and download
research tools, or use the “Super Search” engine to search for family names
on a number of web sites. This will be an interesting site to watch as
the new publication matures.
