CVGS member Susi Pentico presented "Vital Records - and where you may find them" at the Chula Vista Genealogical Society (CVGS) program meeting on Wednesday, 28 July at the Chula Vista Civic Center Branch Library Auditorium. Susi's presentation description and curriculum vitae is listed here.
In this talk, she defined a "vital record" as a document that attests to a person's major life event. The documents could be:
* birth, marriage or death certificates issued and maintained by civil authorities
* church baptism, marriage and burial records created and maintained by a local or national church
* Bible pages, papers, letters, photos, albums and scrapbooks held by a family
* cemetery records at the cemetery office or on a gravestone
* newspaper articles that mention a major life event, including obituaries which often provide a life summary and family members
* military pension files, including applications from widows and children, may provide birth, marriage and death information
* probate records and land records held by civil authorities
* published books and periodical articles with biographical data
Susi said that vital records can be found almost anywhere you look for them.
In 1833, it was reported that vital records were being recorded by 10% of the world's countries, and 6% of the United States. By 1880, only 14 US states were recording them.
The availability of "official" vital records in each US state can be found in Val D. Greenwood's book, The Researcher's Guide to American Genealogy. She mentioned that many local, state, regional and national libraries and archives have vital records in index, book or manuscript format. Early marriages for many states were compiled by Jordan R. Dodd of Liahona Research and are available at libraries.
Susi's handout listed some vital records collections for many eastern states, and where they might be accessed (generally, in the state itself or in a major genealogical library). She noted that some vital records could be found at www.lds.org (she probably meant www.familysearch.org), but she did not list any online data portals or websites that have vital records information in index, transcript, microfilm or image format.
Before Susi's presentation, the 2009 CVGS scholarship winner, Amy Hocza of Chula Vista High School, and now a sophomore at UCLA, was introduced, thanked the society for her award, and described her freshman year at college. She is a neuro-sciences major hoping to be a medical doctor.

Weekender Program - Sunday, 25 July on FamilySearch.org
The next Chula Vista Genealogical Society Weekender program is Sunday, 25 July at 2 p.m. in the Chula Vista Civic Center Branch Library Auditorium. This program is FREE for all to attend.
The program speaker will be CVGS member Randy Seaver on "Using the Old and New FamilySearch.org Website."
The classic LDS FamilySearch offerings have been online for many years, and are still useful to genealogy researchers.

In addition, the FamilySearch Research Wiki will replace the Research Guides, and the Family History Library Catalog will be improved. Lastly, a new FamilySearch Family Tree, currently being populated by LDS church members, will become available to all researchers by early 2011.
In this presentation, Randy Seaver will cover the education opportunities, the available record databases, the Research Wiki, the Family History Library Catalog, the Family Tree, and more. He will also discuss the collaboration feature coming to FamilySearch as it creates an interconnected Family Tree.

CVGS Research Group Review - 14 July 2010
...
We had 15 attendees (including one visitor) at our monthly Chula Vista Genealogical Society Research Group meeting on Wednesday, 14 July. The attendees discussed several research problems, and asked some research questions which the group answered.
* Dearl passed the latest Family Tree Magazine issue with the Best 101 Free Genealogy Websites.
* Randy discussed the Footnote.com subscription 50% off offer for CVGS members through 11 September; the upcoming CVGS meetings and presentations; the five-generation charts project; and passed around the "Is Robert Pattinson a real cousin of Dracula?" Everybody said that he was not, based on the Ancestry.com article.
* Karen has had good success at Bonita Library using Ancestry Library Edition to find ancestral families. She asked "where do I find probate and land records?" The group suggested the LDS Family History Library Catalog and ordering microfilms at the FHC, or going to the localities and visiting the courthouse or historical society.
* Earl has several immigrant families in the 1840 to 1860 period, but cannot find them in the passenger lists on Ancestry.com, and wondered how to find where they came from. The group suggested using census records to determine the approximate immigration date and citizenship status, then try to find death certificates, newspaper obituaries, gravestones, ethnic newspapers, county history books, and naturalization records that might provide the information. Children and siblings of the immigrants should be researched also.
* Joan's cousin was adopted from the Cradle Society in Chicago in 1937, knows her birth date and birthplace and her mother's name, but cannot find out any more information from the Cradle society records. She cannot find the mother's name in the 1930 census, but knows that she was born in 1908 and lived in Texas. The group suggested looking for Cook County birth records, looking for the mother's SSDI record or obituary, and consulting an adoption registry.
* Dolores wondered "how helpful is it to go to the FHC?" The group said that they have free access to many commercial databases, you can order and read microfilms from the FHLC there, and the microfilm scanner/printer works great. She also asked "how accurate are online family trees?" The group noted that there is a lot of inaccurate data in these trees, and they should be used as "finding aids" and "cousin bait" only.
* Helen went browsing in some Ancestry.com databases and found some Lawrence County MO marriage records in lists of stillborn records. She had a Missouri death certificate that had unclear words, and the group figured out what it said.
* Ruth is writing her mother's family history using her mother's stories. She's passing these to her siblings, their children and her cousins.
* Kevin is looking for his great-grandfather that may have died in the San Francisco 1906 earthquake. He disappears from the records after 1906, but his wife is still living. The group suggested www.SFGenealogy.com for records and newspaper articles. He also wondered where the California Birth Index 1905-1995 was available, and the group noted it was free on www.FamilyTreeLegends.com, and is also on the Ancestry.com and Archives.com commercial
sites.
The next CVGS Research Group meeting is on Wednesday, 11 August in the Conference Room at the Chula Vista Civic Center Branch Library.
