Genealogy & Local History August/September 2017
|
|
Hello, Welcome to the latest Genealogy and Local History newsletter. With summer over half over (where did the time?!??), I hope your family research is going well. Don't forget the Palatine Library Genealogy Group meets the first Thursday evening of most months. Please check the website events calendar to confirm the date and time or contact me for more information. It isn't necessary to register, but it's probably a good idea if there is a last minute change or cancellation as happened to the August meeting. One new title on Irish genealogy. See below. Also, is there anything you'd like me address in these newsletters? Let me know. Best of luck with your research! Arthur Krull akrull@palatinelibrary.org 847-358-5881 x 193

FamilySearch to Discontinue their Microfilm Distribution Service!
|
|
FamilySearch has been lending microfilms for years. However, as of August 31st, they will discontinue this service. They expect to complete their microfilm indexing by the end of 2020. Sadly, this means that for a few years, some of FamilySearch records will be unavailable. Some of the Family History Centers will maintain their film collections so patrons could view them at the center. These centers are served by volunteers and the hours can change without notice, it is recommended that you call before you visit a family history center.

The article below was copied from the Palatine Enterprise, March 7th, 1903 page 2. This article was found in the Newspapers.com database. LEARNED WOMEN SLOW TO WED Of 1,835 Graduates of Michigan University but 533 Have Married.
Data gathered from the general catalogue and the alumni association shows that of the 1835 women that have graduated from the University of Michigan only 533 have married since graduating. An odd fact is that a larger percentage of the women graduates marry from the professional departments than from the literary, which is thought to verify the sociological tenet that marriage is restricted largely in proportion as the standard of education among women increases
