AF-525: Obituaries: A Closer Look at Death Records #2 Aug 12, 2021

Show notes

In instances where you can't find a death certificate for a particular ancestor, there are other options to get the information you need. One of these options, which is a truly excellent one, is in obituaries in old newspapers. These can sometimes give you just as much, if not more, information than a death certificate. While each obituary is different, this article lets you know some of the most common information you may find in them.

AF-522: Family Bibles: A Closer Look at Birth Records #3 Aug 03, 2021

Show notes

One source of birth records that you might not have considered is the family Bible. These were popular in the 1700s and 1800s and were Bibles with blank pages for recording birth, death, and marriage information in a family. They were usually handed down from generation to generation. This is what you need to know about family Bibles.

AF-521: The Tenth Amendment: The Bill of Rights Jul 30, 2021

Show notes

The Tenth Amendment is the last amendment in the Bill of Rights. It makes it clear that the powers of the Federal government are limited to only what is particularly given to it in the Constitution. If a power is not given to the Federal government in the Constitution, that power is reserved for the states, and sometimes to the people. This is what the Tenth Amendment means.

AF-520: The Ninth Amendment: The Bill of Rights Jul 29, 2021

Show notes

The Ninth Amendment states that rights that are not listed in the Bill of Rights still exist, and are reserved to the people. But, this leaves a whole host of questions open about what those unlisted rights are. Scholars have debated over the exact meaning of the Ninth Amendment for more than two centuries, and the issue of the "unenumerated rights" it mentions is still an open question today. This is what you need to know about this enigmatic amendment.

AF-519: Baptismal Records: A Closer Look at Birth Records #2 Jul 26, 2021

Show notes

If you are searching for a birth record for an ancestor, you might not find one if official birth registration was not required at the time and in the place they were born. However, you will likely come across a baptismal record, as most people in the past belonged to some kind of church. This is what baptismal records were, why they had them, and what type of information you may find on your ancestor's baptismal record.
