Introduction
In the beginnirg, our ancientancestorscreatedartwork
and text, pictographs and hieroglyphics, and each
createdwork was an original.

With the invention of the printing press, mass


production of copies of any original work became
possible. Creativity exploded worldwide. As costs
camedown,the ability ofpeopleto shareartandprinted
communicationcreateda virtual torrent of knowledge
and information.

It is always the creativity of individuals-inventors,


innovatorsand visionaries-that leadsthe way.

The invention of radio and television created


instantaneousmass communication.Each broadcast
meant that anyone with a receiver would receive a
simultaneouscopy of the original work. Recording
devicesallowed copiesto be literally frozen in time,
for later playback.

In 1958,Jack St. Clair Kilby inventedthe integrated


electroniccircuit, or microchip. His invention paved
the way for the miniaturrzationof computersand the
birth of the Internet. Once again, another creative
individual influencedand changedthe world.
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anyone

And so it was with the invention of the popular


personalcomputeror PC. The Apple computer,one
popular example,was born in I 975. TWoteenagersin
California were largelyresponsiblefor its success.

The Apple was designed by Steve Wozniak to


demonstrate to his localcomputerclub,andwhena store
ordered50 oftheffi, he andhis friend SteveJobs,began
production.The Apple II and its clonesrevolutionized
the lives of millions of peoplethroughoutthe United
Statesand Canada.

The low price of PCs brought them within reach of


highly creativeandtalentedyoungpeoplein their teens
and twenties.For the first time, the power previously
available only to multinational corporations and
governmentswas suddenlyavailableto the public.

Apple computer clubs swept the continent.Here, in


monthly meetings,computerenthusiastscould meetto
excitedlydiscussnewideasandtry outnewexperiments
andprograms.

Still, onethingwasmissing.And thatmissingsomething


createda truly formidablechallenge.

These avid computer club enthusiastsand other PC


userswanted to go far beyond their local clubs and
neighborhoods.They wantednothing less than to be
ableto communicateglobally,andexchangeideaswith
otheryoungpeopleall overthe world.
Introduction

To do this, they needed to cross language and


geographicalbarriers,and political boundaries.It also
had to be free, or almost free. How on earth could all
thesecreativepeople-potentially millions of people
scatteredaround the globe-share information and
communicatewith eachother?

A large part of the answercame during a remarkable


four-year period from l99l to 1994. A visionary
scientistnamedTim Berners-Lee,working in Geneva,
Switzerland,createda sharedinformationspacewhich
allowed communicationamong a group of research
scientists.Thesescientistsneededthe ability to retrieve
information regardless of the variety of computer
platforms that were in use at the time.

Berners-Lee'sreal intent, however,even in his first


proposal in 1989, went far beyond the needsof the
physicistshe workedwith. He envisionednothing less
than a worldwide communication system for public
use. And from 1995 onwards"the World Wide Web
literally skyrocketedin populartty.

True, there were many Internet protocols being


developedas early as the late 1960s,particularly by
the U.S.military, and small netswerebeing usedat an
early date. It was the public's demand,however,that
explodedthe Internetinto the real global phenomenon
it hasnow become.
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

Today,the distinctionhasbecomeblurredbetweenthe
InternetandtheWorldWideWeb(www). In this book I
will oftenusethe wordsinterchangeably,
but generally
speaking,the word Internet will always include the
World Wide Web.

The idea of retrievinginformation wasparamountfor


the scientistsin Switzerland when the World Wide
Web was born, and it is still paramount.Remember
this: everythingthat we call human history is simply
what individualshavedone,whetherthey actedalone
or in a group. And retrieving information about
individuals, precisely and aceurately,is what this
book is all about.

The Internetopenedup tremendousresourcesthat are


extendingdeep within all fields of knowledge.The
most remotedetailsfrom the ancientpast are coming
alive at an unbelievablerate. New discoveriesin the
present are being added as they occur. Timelines
becomeblurred:the first partofthis sentenceis already
in the past.

New information is accumulating at a stupendous


rate. It cannotbe fathomedby any one person.It is
unprecedented. Nobody, not even governments,can
stayon top of it.

Every dayhundredsof millions of new facts become


available. Those who delve too deeply into the

Introduction

information world find themselvesspeakingof a new


disease- informationoverload.

This book is designedto provideyou with the specific


techniquesthat allow you to find and identify almost
any individual, whether that person lived a hundred
yearsdgo,a thousandyears dgo,or evenif that person
is alive and living in our world today.This book will
alsoprovideyou with the tools you needfor navigation
as the Internetunfolds.

You will also be sharing a vision of where the


information highway is headirg, what type of traffic it
will have in the future and whv.

To clearly seethat future vision, we must flrst explore


someunknownancienthistory aboutourselves.

This ancienthistory is quitewell hidden.It is unknown


to the vastmajority of peoplein the world today.That,
however,is all aboutto change.

11
Our Hidden History
Homo Sapiensat Dawn

The birth of modern man begins many thousandsof


yearsago. Scholarlyancienthistory books along with
recentarchaeological discoverieshavetold us far more
todaythan what was knownjust one generationago.It
is for certain,however,that our beginningsare rooted
in small tribal groupsor clans.

The members of these tribes are truly our ancient


ancestors.If they did not exist.thenwe would not exist
today.

Recent discoveries are making it clear, however,


that if we do not relearn somebasic truths about our
ancient past, our civilization today will most likely
collapse-not in some distant future like some have
imagined-but perhapswithin our lifetime. If society
and governmentsincur great errors, it will be partly
becausewe forgot where we camefrom.

Many historianshave studiedthe differencesbetween


ancienttribes.Emphasizingdifferencesis only half the
story,however,and focusingjust on differencesalone
may be misleading.

After all, if you focusjust on the differencesbetween


you and your own siblings, without understanding

l3
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

the similaritiesand common elements,it might result


in a fight. If we focus on differencesonly between
nations,but without understandin E, Ltcould-and has
in countlessinstances-led to war and destruction.

Insteadof differences,let us look at the similarities


betweenall of the ancienttribes,and seeif we canpick
up somenew understanding. Remember:manyof these
tribes developed seemingly unknown to each other,
on severalcontinents.And yet there were three major
similaritiesbetweenall of them. It is the similarities
that provide important and crucial cluesaboutour own
nature, charucteristicsand origin.

1 . Kinship

A11early tribes were charactertzedbya strongenergy-


bond we call kinship. Each member of the tribe felt
a strong senseof belonging.They shareda powerful
family feeling.This bond createda strongrapportand
affinity betweeneachmemberof the tribe. They knew
how theywereall relatedto eachother.Theyunderstood
this on very deep levels and felt that relationship
emotionally.It was a constant.

2. A CommonAncestor

Early tribes all carrie4 from generationto generation,


the verbal story of a common ancestor.The common
ancestorwas seenas the tribe'sfounder,heador chief.

T4
Our Hidden Hlstorv

Hewasviewedastheancestor
fromwhomtheyhadall
descended. This sharedbelief strengthened
the kinship
feeling amongeverymemberof the tribe and provided
a senseof purposeand value to the very existenceof
the tribe itself. Every man, woman and child felt this
force: they had a commonancestor.r

3. SharedReligiousBeliefs

Sharedreligiousbeliefs,regardless
ofwhat othergroups
believed,actedas a unifying force, and strengthened
the feelingof onenessamongeachmemberof the tribe.
It also helpedto ensurethe probability and protection
of their descendants.

The Rise of the Nation-State

As tribes grew larger and largerthrough the centuries,


they would encounter other tribes, and if friendly
enoughthey might coexistandengagein trade,or even
form alliancesagainstan invading tribe that appeared
to be a common threat. Some encounters,however,
were more like clashes,and the differencesin beliefs
and symbolsspawneda multitudeof rivalries,conflicts
and wars.

Thosethatprevailedin wars,whetherby physicalmight


or intelligence,formedwhat we call nation-states.
This
led to formation of countriesand nations,usually led
by monarchs,demigods,emperorsor dictators.The

l5
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

importantthing to rememberaboutthis developmentis


that the onenessor family feeling that previouslywas
a common characteristicof each tribe was gradually
displacedwithin this new framework of society.The
feeling of kinship declinedas nation-statescontinued
to move aggressivelyup through the hallwaysof time
and into the fufure, eventuallyreachingwhat we now
call our lifetime.

Now we have arrived in our presentworld. Countless


conflictsaregoing on aroundthe world. We sensemany
threatsto our future existence.Yet these impending
threatsare mixed in with the hopesof the majority of
peoplewho wish for a more peacefullife in the future,
alongwith reasonableprosperity.

It is duringthis time, in just slightlymorethana decade,


that the Internet has flourished.Like any new tool or
invention, it has the potential for great harm, or great
benefit.It really dependson how it is used.

The Internet is part of the new media along with


televisionand a plethoraof electronicgadgets.

The media forms our new community.The


electronicvillage is our hometown. . We
know celebritiesbut they don't know us.
The new community is not a reciprocal
neighborhood like earlier ones. These
vicariousrelationshelp createa new kind of

loneliness-the lonelinessof peoplewhose


relationshipsare with personaeinsteadof
persons.2

The Discoveryof Ebla

Eblais typicalofthe archaeological


discoveriesthatkeep
changingour previousconceptsaboutearly civilization
andbring a wealthof new informationto light.

For 15 years archaeologists


had been digging in the
moundsof an ancientcivrhzattonon the plain of Syria.
The dig took place between ancient Egypt and the
Mesopotamianempire.

Then, in 1968, the archivesof an ancient city-state


were unearthedrevealing15,000clay tabletscovered
in an unknown cuneiform writing. At first, none of the
expertswere able to translatethe writing, eventhough
there are almost 7,000 known living languagesin the
world today.3

A little later, the archaeologistsmade yet another


fortunatediscovery.They found a unique set of tablets
within the archive that showedthe unknown Eblamite
words along with the equivalentwords in Sumerian.

By good fortune, Sumerianwas a languagethat was


understoodby languageexperts.Suddenlythey had
the key to understanding this unknown language.

t7
Findin g Anyone, Anywhere, Anywhen

Incidentally,thesetranslationtabletsformedthe oldest
dictionaryor lexicon everdiscoveredon our planet.

Armed with the key to deciphering the Eblamite


tablets,the expertsbegan the unprecedentedtask of
translation.No archaeologistshad ever encountered
15,000claytabletsthat requiredtranslation.

In the words of Dr. Giovanni Pettinato,an expert in


ancientlanguageswho had participatedin the Italian
ArchaeologicalMission in Syria,

All the other texts of this period recovered


to date do not total a fourth of those from
Ebla.a

A remarkablyclear view of daily life in ancientEbla


began to unfold. The recordsbeing translatedcover
trade, commerce and the historical chronicles of
this ancient empire. The details include over 5,000
geographical place-names. In essence, Eblais rewriting
much of history in that part of the ancientworld.

Among thousandsof peoplerecordedin the tabletsis


the nameof Davi{ which hasneverbeenfound in such
ancienttexts except the Bible. The large number of
genealogicalreferencesincludethenamesofAbraham,
Esau, Saul and a King Ebrium, who was believedby
somescholarsto be Eber,the great-great-grandson of

18
Our HiddenHlstory

Noah. Ebla'sscribeshad evenkept track of the names


of the peoplejust travelingthroughtheir country.

In the Old Testamentof the Bible, the Book of


Deuteronomyrefersto Abraham'sgrandfatherasbeing
a Syrian.Thesediscoverieshaveexcitedand mystified
scholarsof Judaism,Christianityand Islam, and have
left historiansthinking anewaboutthe formative years
of ancientciv thzation.

Although the discoveryof Ebla is fascinating,it is just


one of a multitudeof otherdiscoveriescoming to light
all overthe world. Somerecentdiscoveriesarenothing
short of astonishing.

For example,more than 400,000fragmentsof scrolls,


booksandpapyruswerefoundin a 30-footdeepcity dump
nearOxyrhynchus,an ancientprovincialcapitalin Egypt
that datesfrom Romantimes. Someof thesefragments
are more than 2,000yearsold. Another largedepositof
fragmentsfrom an ancientlibrary has also been found
in Herculaneum.The fragmentsare coveredwith grime,
sootandash-the resultof volcanoesandfires.

Now, thanks to NASA technology and innovative


scientists, enhanced multispectral imaging allows
researchersto see through multiple layers of these
fragments,evenblackuponblack layers,to actuallysee
the original writing clear enoughto read reconstruct
and recreateas modernimages.

19
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

Texts from these two cities now being translated


include property records, New Testamentepistles,
early Islamic writings and fragmentsof lost plays by
Euripides,Sophocles,andunknownworksby the most
famousclassicalwriters and poetsof antiquity.iOnly
20 yearsago many historianswould havethought such
scientificachievements were utterly impossible.

Many of the missing pieces of our true and ancient


history are now coming to light. The shapeof history
is altering so quickly and on such a large scale that
the authorsof our history books arc hard-pressedto
stayabreastof the changesthat follow eachnew major
discovery.

The Discovervof Cousinhood

Considerthis openingphraseof a poem publishedin


1670by JohnWilmot:

The world appearslike a greatfamily.6

Later,in 1839,William Blackstonepublisheda classic


work entitledCommentaryon theLaws of England.TIn
his research,he had notedthat we all havea surprising
numberof ancestors.

20
Our Hidden Hlstorv

For example,you havetwo parents,different from each


other,or you would not exist.

It would seemlogical to assumethat your two parents


eachhad two parentsalso,and thereforeyou havefour
grandparents.And you might further assumethat your
four grandparentseachhad two parents,and so on.

Your ancestorsseeminglydoublewith eachgeneration


as you go back in time. And althoughthis may seem
very logical and correct,it is actuallynot true! In fact,
it's impossible.You can prove it to yourself in a few
minutes.

Take a calculator and keep doubling your ancestors


every28 yearsor so (an averagegeneration)andbefore
you can get back to 2000 years &go,your ancestors
outnumberthe total world populationat that time! And
remember:we're not talking about anyoneelse- just
your ancestors!The truth is, human history is loaded
with cousinsmarrying cousins,far beyondwhat most
peoplewould everimagine.

Mathematicians, genealogistsand other scientists


have examinedthis apparentenigma and have come
to one conclusion:many of your ancestorsknowingly
or unknowingly marriedtheir cousins.This resultedin
a reductionin the numberof ancestorsfrom the usual
rateof expansion.

21
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

Genealogists call this phenomenonpedigreecollapse.


Pedigreecollapseappearsto havefirst beenmentioned
in a paperby Robert C. Gunderson.s It meansthat our
ancient family trees are much smaller than we used
to believe.As well, theserepeatedmarriagesbetween
relatedcousinsare far more plentiful in the past than
we ever imagined. Parts of our ancestralfamily tree
had branchesthat were expanding at a normal rate
while other brancheswere contractingby comparison.

Certain individuals may show up in your family tree


more than once. Acknowledging these eventsis the
only way to reconcileworld populationwith the fact
that we eachhavetwo parents.e

In a more extremeexample,the marrrageof a brother


and sisterhasquite a dramaticeffect.This happenedin
someroyal families, for instance.When a brotherand
sister marry, then there are only the sametwo people
asparentsfor both of them in the previousgeneration,
not four.

Often,becauseof religiousandculturalbeliefs,known
sexualliaisonsbetweencertain individualswith their
cousins were kept quiet and were closely guarded
secrets.Geneticevidenceis changingall that.

Far more children were born out of wedlock than our


parents and grandparentsever would have believed.
In fact, many of our parentsand grandparentssimply

22
Our Hidden Hlstory

wouldn't want to believe that this happened so


often. This is understandable.
After all, there was no
convincingevidenceof this reality until recently.

A term I particularly dislike is the word illegitimate


when applied to children. Any child born into this
world is as legitimateas anyotherchil{ andthe useof
the term illegitimateis of ill intent and demeaningand
shouldneverbe used.

It would be more approprrateto refer to the activities


of a parent of the child as engagingin illegitimate
activities, contraveningtheir vows or disrespecting
socialnorms,but the child is not guilty of anything.

Today,DNA evidenceand the human genomeproject


have led to much closer linkage and cooperation
betweentwo very complementarysciences:genealogy
and genetics.

While scientistsmay continueto argueaboutthe exact


and final degreeof relationship,it is evidentto them
that everyonein the world is related.The relationship
betweenus all is very clear:

We are all cousins

Many scientistsnow estimatethat no person in the


world could be further apartfromyou than 50th cousin.
other scientistsbelievethat nobody else in the world

-t1
z)
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

today could be any further apart from you than 32nd


cousin. But they all agreeon one thing: that we are
cousins.

Youmay ask,"Doesthis includeall of the variousraces


besidesmy own?" The answeris an emphaticyes.Yes,
it includesall so-calledraces.No exceptions.

Even remotetribes are not really being discoveredfor


the first time. They are only being rediscovereda very
long time after they were separatedfrom other ancient
tribes. In more ancient times they had ancestorsin
commonto us all. And the latestevidencestill indicates
the origin of our speciestook placein Afric a andspread
out from there to other continents.

The most remote tribes are part of the overall human


gene pool. In their ancient history they were inter-
mingled with other tribes and had common ancestors
with them before being cut off through exploration,
nafural catastrophesor other events.

When you hear news about a remote tribe being


discovere{ remember they represent those more
distant32nd or 50th cousins.They are cousinsgreatly
removedby degree,but nevertheless they are still our
cousins.ro

As Guy Murchie pointed out, each one of us has


ancestorsthat include:

24
Our Hidden Hlstory

all the blacks, Chinese,Arabs, Malays,


Latins, Eskimos who lived on Earth
aroundAD 700.1t

On a very positive note, another author, Alex


Shoumatoff, had this to say on the subject of
cousinhood:

The political implications of this great


kindred are quite exciting. If all of us
could be made awareof our multiple inter-
relatedness,if the samesort of altruismthat
usuallyexistsamongclosekin could prevail
throughthe entirehumanpopulation. . . [our]
differences. . . would seemsecondary."

It is evident as we look at today's world that the


knowledge about our ancient kinship feelings and
our beginningsare unknown to the vast majority of
people.

It is also evident that most people are unaware of


the vast wealth of namesof people and placesbeing
unearthedin ancientarchivesevery yeaL

Many of the tribes existing today pass along vast


genealogiesof their ancestorsorally.They arerecited
aloud from the eldest to the youngest.Now these
genealogiesare being recordedand documentedby
the younger generations.This is all possible with

25
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

modern tape, CD and DVD recording devices and


with video cameras.

Vast archives in the Vatican contain details about


millions of people who lived during past centuries.
They wait for their reawakeningto be acknowledged
in the world of digital data.Other religious institutions
have contributionsto make as well. We're waiting for
themtoo.

However,the biggest unknown fact is still this: all


of the people who ever lived in the past, along with
everyonealive today,are cousins.

The factthatthesethingsareunknownproduces theexact


oppositeeffect of what was true of our ancestorswho
lived in those ancienttribes: most of us don't feel any
kinship feelings with people of different nationalities.
Most of us only feel kinship for a very few of our
own nationality.We havelost that kinship feeling, that
onenessfeeling, that shouldexist within mankind.

As a resultof this lack of knowledge,we areobviously


payingthe consequences right now.The consequences
are wars, genocide,starvation,disease,murder and
other atrocities. In truth, our ignorance is working
againstthe probability of our own future existence.

Are we not awareof the 2,000-year-oldexpression,

A housedivided againstitself cannotstand?1r

If you think aboutthe fact thosemillions of ancestors

assumptions. Try to imaginefor just a few minutesthe

GenealogicalBridges

Anthony Wagner is well known for his essays in


the genealogical interpretation of history. In his
scholarly book, Pedigree and Progress, he explains
how occurrencesthat took place centuries ago are
now emergingas major genealogicallandmarkswhen
viewedfrom today'svantagepoint:

In the year 1265 a nephew of Kubla Khan,


Emperorof China,marriedthe half-sisterof
a ByzantineEmperor,who in 1279married
the sister-in-lawof a nephewof St. Louis,
King of France,and of Eleanorof Provence,
Queenof England.ra

27
Finding Anyone, Anywhere, Anywhen

This meant that 700 years ago a genealogicalbridge


wasconnectedacrossthecontinentsofEuropeandAsia
in lessthan 15 years,and throughonly eight people.

This is just one exampleof the countlessthousands


of genealogicalbridgescreatinginterlinkagebetween
races,nationsand countriesthroughoutthe courseof
humanhistory.Every living persontoday is the result
of commonancestryand genealogicalbridges.

I remembervividly an incident that occurred when I


was invited to speakto a group of studentsin a school
in Ontario.

While talking about cousinhoodI noted that these


young children were absolutely fascinated. Then,
during recess,one of the teachersaskedme to come
outside to the schoolyard where the children were
playing. She told me how one of the girls that had
beenin my classhad run out to all of her friends and
blurted out excitedly:"Did you know we're cousins?"
They all clusteredaround and were still talking about
it excitedly when I arrived.

I beganto wonderat that point, "What if all children,


in every country were actually taught this when they
were young?" I think the changewould be enormous,
and when thesechildren reacheduniversity dga,they
might take their professorsand leadersto task for not
understandinghow this really changeseverything.

28
Our Hidden Hlstorv

Could world wars developif everyonehad a kinship


feeling for all ethnicgroups?Wouldn't we insteadrely
far more on understanding, reasoning,negotiationand
real diplomacy?

Keep thesediscoveriesin mind as we progress.

As the full implications of these discoveries are


assimilate{ our basic and fundamentalideas about
ourselvesand our relationshipswith each other must
change.

Our educationalinstitutions,by definition, shouldbe


the early transmittersof thesenew perspectives,but
not by boring and repetitivelecturing.Instead:

Teaching is now understood as mafure


assistanceto youthful learning, or self-
teaching. . The teacherbecomesa part
of the learning group, sharing his greater
maturity and knowledge, but seeking out
ways of assistingothersto learn ratherthan
going through an empty ritual of forced
feeding.ls

With the essenceof this chapterin mind we will now


step into the Internetworld and lock-in on the single
most important searchtechniquewe need to find the
proverbialneedlein the haystack.

TheInternet Unfolds
When the Internet began,it is important to know that
therewas an immediateneedfor convergence. By this
statement,I mean that text alone, without diagrams,
images,picturesandphotos,wasn'tenough.

Severalcenturiesdgo,the brilliant educatorComenius


created a breakthrough in teaching and wrote a
revolutionary book entitled Orbis Pictus (Pictured
World). It was the first picture-book or illustrated
manualof instructionfor the young. It was published
at Nuremberg,Germanyin 1657.

Comenius, with the instinct of a great


teacher,felt that to give wordswithout things
(pictures) to the pupil was not simply to
retardhis progress,but to lay the foundation
of vagueand inaccutateconceptions.r

Another educator, Pestalozzr, ventured further by


trying to have the actual object in front of the child
learning the word-and from these two educators
"flowed the excellentcustomof giving object lessons
in infant schools".2

Objectlessonsandshowandtell sessions arestill used


today in virtually every school.Thesetechniquesare

tried testedand provento more clearly communicate


ideas,topicsandpersonalexperiences.

And so it was that the Internet also needed,right from


the beginning,a convergenceof images,pictures,and
text to bring about a clearunderstandingthrough this
new communicationmedium.

At first, websitessprangup more or lesshelter-skelter


and confusionabounded.one of the main challenges
was how to find the website that actually had the
information you were looking for.

This led to the naturalneedfor massiveindexesto the


dataheld on various websites.Ideally, these indexes
would guide researchers to the right placewherethey
might find the proverbialneedlein a haystack.

If you know the history of nonfiction books to any


degree, one of the most basic requirementsis an
index, especiallywhen complex terminology is used
throughoutthe book.

Remember:a noun is the name of a person, place


or thing. Histori cally, our libraries always had card
catalogsin the past, andmany still do.

These card catalogswere essentiallyindexesto the


book titles and subjectsin a collection,and of course,
the authorshad to be indexedby name as well. And

34
The Internet Unfolds

booksaboutgeographicalregions,differentlanguages
or from different countrieshad to be specifiedand
groupedtogether.

What happenedin the history of booksis very similar,


in part, to what has happened-and is continuing to
happen the Internet.

If we look at the history of books themselves,certain


kinds of bookswere really indexeswith dataattached.
Someof the major ones are:

Dictionaries
Lexicons
Encyclopedias
Bibliographies
Concordances
Directories

The Internethasmanyadvantages overbooks,however,


because once books were reproduced digitally,
computerprogramscouldbe written to cross-reference
information in waysneverbeforepossiblewith books
in libraries.

On the Internet you can searchmany encyclopedias


for free. One of the best free encyclopediawebsites
will evenlet you participatein creatingthis marvelous
resource.Takea look at the following websiteavailable
in 10 differentlanguages:

35

http:llwikipedia.org

Every word written in a book or on a websitecould be


partofanindex,andcross-referencing andsophisticated
crisscrossindexingbecamethe major centerpieceof
what are now known as searchengines.

In 1962the visionaryMarshallMcluhan stated:

Whenmillionsofbookscanbecompressed in
a match-boxspace,it is not the book merely,
but the library thatbecomesportable.3

In the near future, most libraries will expand to


become virtual libraries on the Internet. At first,
catalogswill go online, and then their older and
rarestbooks along with high-demandbooks. once
the dataon thepagesofthesebookshasbeendigitally
converte4then it can be sharedglobally.Best of all,
this canbe providedto anyoneat very low cost, and
in many instancesfor free.

In the future, our descendantswill likely have library


buildings filled with physicalbooks in their pioneer
villages, showing future citizens what life was like
during the early 2000s !

More and more libraries are being transportedonto


the Internetto becomevirtual libraries.Thesevirtual

36
The Internet Unfolds

dozenbooksor a million volumes.Booksthatwere rare


and lockedin climatecontrolledglassdisplaycabinets
in the past, will be availableto anyone,anywhereand
at anytimethey wish.

One choice for userswill be to view scannedimages


(photographedpages)of books showingthem as they
were originally. Many researchersneed to see the
original work and form. This is particularlyuseful for
rarebooks,artwork,mapsand illustrations.

Another choice will be viewing the digital datathat


provides the user with the informational content,but
not the original appearance or form. Theseare digital
books.

Digital booksarehighly useful for manyreasons,such


as changingthe font type and size and republishinga
book that is in the public domain (not under copyright
protection).Many older books were in very tiny type
sizes,making them difficult to read.Now suchworks
can be availablein very largeeasyto readfonts.

In the Western Hemisphere, Johannes Gutenberg


invented the printing press with removablemetal or
woodenlettersin I 436.Chinahadalreadybeenprinting
on a pressusing moveablehardenedclay letterssince
1041,althoughprinting in Chinahadbegunlong before
that,during the 800s.

37
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

Then, in the 1960s, along came offset printing or


instant printing, using photo-typesetting,and a new
revolutionwas born.

Suddenly a photograph could be made of a rare


work of art, and that photographcould be impressed
electronicallyon a metal or paperplate.Thousandsof
copiescould be producedautomaticallyand instantly
without the needof any typesetting.

Many collectors of rare original artworks and maps


panicked at first, becausethey were afraid that if
someonetook a picture of their rare masterpiece,the
valuewould be diminished.

Somepurists felt that since early offset printing was


inferior in quality comparedto the original artwork, it
would cheapeneverything.They were all wrong.

Supposeyou were a stamp collector, for example,


and you possessed a very rarestampworth $100,000.
Someonecouldtakea beautiful,high-resolutiondigital
photo of that stamp and the photo might be worth a
few dollars, but it is the original stamp that is worth
the $ 100,000.

Offsetprinting, by producingprints and copiesof rare


art, cteatedtwo marvelousbenefitsfor both collectors
of rare art and the public at large.

38
The Internet Unfolds

First,everyone,eventhepoor andmiddleclasses,could
afford a copy of a rarepieceof art, and appreciateand
enjoy it in their own home.

Second"as millions of people sharedthe appreciation


andbeautyof rareart, the valueofthe originalsactually
went up. As more new peopleacquiredwealth for the
first time, theyhada new awareness of greatartthrough
seeingprints andpicturesof it. Owning an originalwas
highly desired especiallyby the nouveauriche.Today,
investingin original works of art is a huge field and
pricescontinueto escalateovertime.

Once again, the old marketing truths of supply and


demandwere working, but in a new way.

It is important to reahzethat nobody told the public to


buy this greatreproducedart. Peoplejust lookedat the
prints andwere internally motivatedwithin themselves
to acquirea copy or print. Justthe exposureto art itself
motivatedthe public to buy.

Storesselling prints were simply displayingwhat was


avarlable,but not dictating what the public shouldlike.
Observantstoreownersquickly becameawareof what
the public wanted.

I think one of the greaterrors of our time is marketing


people who try to dictate or limit the choice of the
public through strident advertising and controlled

39
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

distribution.Justshowus everything avarlable,and we


will choosewhat we like. It's just the way it really is.

The Information Highway

The time we live in has often been called the


Information Age and we are truly witnessingnothing
less than an information revolution. While there is an
overwhelmingexplosionof dataworldwide, wisdom
is neededto find our way through this overwhelming
morassof data. We need to hone in on our specific
objectivesand goals without getting totally lost in a
never-endingand expandinguniverseof data.

Careful searchtechniquescan locate information m


minutes that may have taken many decadesto find in
the past.

For the most part, governmentsare rightly avoiding


directtaxationof Internetusers.The inventionanduse
of the Internetwas alwayspremisedupon it belonging
to the people. Nevertheless,governmentsare very
temptedto tax, especiallyin countrieswherethe level
of greed of those in control rises abovethe people's
primary needsand rights.

When radio was first invented,the governmentstepped


in and required everyonewho wanted to own a radio
receiverto purchasea license from the government.
Just listening to a radio in your home in the 1920s

40
The Internet Unfolds

required a radio license.A little experiencewith the


public reactionto licensingled governmentofficialsto
drop the ideavery quickly decadesago.

Incidentally, speaking of radio, did you know that


many elementsof the Internet camefrom the hobby of
amateurradio or ham radio?This fraternity of people
talked on short-waveradio to othersin every country
of the world long before the Internet was invented.
They createdand coinedthe word "net" wherepeople
clusteredtogetheron the air to discusspopular topics
in a uniqueand invisible informationspace.

It was ham radio operatorswho createdand operated


the first radio and televisionbroadcaststations.

They assistedpeople to make free telephone calls


betweencountrieseven as early as the 1950s,using
phone patches, an elementary forerunner of VoiP
technologytoday.

If we look back now to the information highway, we


seethat the highway is the actual infrastructureof the
Internetitself.

Picture in your mind a complex web of millions


of highways with turnpikes, intersectionsor hubs.
Websites are like tourist attractronsalong the way.
Thereare stores,businesses, services,libraries,malls
and thousandsof other travel stopsen route.You can

41
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

tour or be a sightseer,or you can go instantlyto any


destination.

The big differencebetweenthe Internetversuscarson


a highway is that you can move along the information
highway to your destinationat almost the speedof
light: 186,000miles per second.And gasprices aren't
going up!

It's not just information, it's instant information.


Distant websiteson the far side of the planet seemto
be as closeas websitesnext door to us, and as faster
Internet accessspeedsprevail, these huge distances
and fasterspeedsseemto mergeor collapse,and they
soonbecomemeaningless.

In our minds,whetherwe areconsciousof it or not, we


experiencetime and spacedisappearing,or becoming
the samething.

This merging of time and spacecan actuall5rcreatea


growing psychologicalchallengefor children raised
from birth in the first Internet-only generation in
history.

If young children are dominatedby only the Internet

to clearly distinguish betweenthe invisible Internet
world andthe real three-dimensional

This is a new and vital challengefor our educational
systemsand socialscientists.

Let's look at the buildersof the informationhighways.


Building this immense highway system requires a
hugeinvestmentby many largeand small corporations.
Why are they spendingso much money?You need to
know. It is the power of our needsthat really dictates
what is happening.This is the single biggest clue to
understandinghow the Internet will develop in the
future.

Billions of dollarshavebeing spentso far on building


the information highway.Why?That enormousamount
of moneyis beinginvestedbecausethe investorsexpect
trillions of dollars will be made in the future from its
existence.That is, of course,only if those investors
make the right choices.And who determinesthe right
choices?We do!

Traffic on the Internet consistsof digital bytes and

thing: traffic.

some careful thinking and a little researchon their


own. Let's start right now.

SearchEngines

Whether you are searchingfor someonein the past,


or someoneliving today,the first essentialtool on the
Internet is a searchengine.Everybody knows about
them, but the majority doesn't really know the best
way to usethem.

When Internetnovicesfirst locatea searchengine,the


majority of them just type in a word or phrase,click
enter and wait. That is often a greatwasteof time and
can bring frustration and despair. Let's understand
what thesesearchenginesare and how they work.

Search engines are websites that contain powerful


programs called databases.A database stores
information in such away that anypieceof information
can be quickly retrievedthrough an elaboratesystem
of indexesand relatedlinks.

Database websites can be contained on a single


computer(a server)or on alarge numberof computers
(serverfarms).

These powerful servers take in your request for


information, searchtheir internaldatabaseindexes,and
serveback the resultsof your searchrequest.Ebayand

44
The Internet Unfolds

Amazon,for example,usehuge numbersof serversor


serverfarms to handle auctionsor sell books, videos
and all kinds of otherproducts.

Searchenginesbeganin the 1990s.Many of the early


search engines were created as university research
projects. Many studentsand university researchers
had the foresightto seeour future needsand they also
had the knowledgeand creativity to write programsto
meetthoseneeds.

Major search engines today such as www.google.


com eanhandlemillions of transactionsin lessthan a
second for peoplerequestinginformation at the very
samemomentfrom all over the globe.It is no wonder
that whenGooglewentpublic in 2005it wasthe largest
public offeringof its kind andraised$2.7billion dollars
from the public and institutionalinvestors.

CurrentlyGooglehasbillions of webpagesin its index,


and it is constantlygrowing.

Googlehasbig plansfor the futureandtheir researchers


and developershavealreadyturnedout new resources
that are highly useful, as well as beta or test versions
of new databasesand programsthey are working on.
You canstay on top of their researchwork by going to

45
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

Whenyou searchon mostsearchengines,theycurrently


show the flrst 10 or more websites matching what
you seek-but-the first l0 are often those websites
that have the most links to them from other websites.
Usually the flrst links are sponsoredlinks that pay the
searchengineownerfor positioningnearthe top.
These first results may contain what you're looking
for, but if not, there are ways around this to locate a
site you may wish to find. The websiteyou seek may
purposelynot havemany links from other websites,or
they might not be ableto afford to pay Googlefor high
ranking as a sponsoror advertiser.

Somecurrentsearchenginesare:

www.google.com
www.yahoo.com
www.c4.com
www.altavista.com
www.lycos.com
www.ask.com
www.dogpile.com
www.hotbot.com

www.A9.com
www.scholar.google.com

Some search engines require memberships.Some


searchengines search severalother searchengines,
which can savetime especiallyif the subjectyou are
researchingis relativelyrare.

It is important to reahze that searchengines do not


searchgenealogy databases,or any other databases
thatrequiremembershipsand passwords.

In fact, there are some websitesthat have no home


pages at all, and contain databasesknown only to a
selectgroup of people.Most of thesearenot included
in search engine results. These kinds of websites
arc part of what has been called the dark Internet or
hidden Internet. It's likely that much more datamay
be within the hidden Internetthan the visible Internet
we're alreadyfamiliar with.a

In general,powerful databases
are structuredin sucha
way thatthey canonly be usedby memberspossessing
valid usernamesandpasswords.

4l
Finding Anyone, Anywhere, Anyw,hen

So,evenif a membershipdatabase containsmillions or


billions of names,you cannotdeterminewhat names
are in thereunlessyou areat that website.Sometimes
you can carryout a freeor limited searchwithout being
a member.

This is why websitescontainingdatabasesshouldbe


visited and utilized if they cover the people and time
periodsyou seek.A searchenginecan find the home
pageof thesewebsites,but you must click on the link
providedby the searchengineto go thereand checkit
out. That'spart of researching.

There are very useful websites that list the many


different types of searchenginesavailable.Some of
thesespecialrzern various subjectfields of endeavor.
Check out www.allsearchengines.com.Another
websitethat comparessearchenginesis:

www.searchengineshowdown.com

The main point to note is this: searchenginesdiffer


from what was previouslypossiblewith printedbooks
in thepast,becausetheymultiply amillionfold theways
of finding out information about anyone,anywhere,at
any time period in the pastandpresent.

A logical questionmight be, "How do searchengines


gatherup suchvast amountsof information?" Do they
employ an army of people indexing information for
them?Not at all!
The Internet Unfolds

Computerprogrammerscreatedigital robots-known
as robots or crawlers-that roam around the World
Wide Web visiting every websitethey can to index the
homepageandotherpageson websiteswherethey are
not blocked.

Every moment of every day thesecrawlersare tapping


into new and old websitesto gatherup information.
The crawlersconveythe newly found datato the home
website,where it is integratedinto the oceanof data
that'salreadythere.The oceanjust grows and grows.

At the searchengine'shome, every word is indexed


exceptfor wordslike "the","and", etc.In otherwords,
they are primarily looking at nouns, the names of
people,placesandthings.

Searchengineschurn out their datain a similar form


to concordances.That is, if you are searchingfor a
particular person,place, or thing, searchresultswill
usually provide you with the name of the subjectyou
seek within a sentenceor two taken from a website
source.

This way you have the word within the context of a


sentence.This triggers your mind to selectthe most
likely sourcefor the information you seek,evenwhen
many sourcescomeup in the search.

49
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

Usually the most relevantresultscomeup first, but as


mentionedabove,somesearchenginesand directories
will showor highlight their paid advertisersfirst, along
with heavily linked websites.

This often meansthat clutteredwebsiteshaving links


to, or ads for, many other websitesmay show up with
higher priority than the website that you may wish to
find. However,many websitesprefer not to clutter up
their siteswith a lot of links and ads.A lot of clutter
looks unsightlyand unprofessional.

WhenI beganusingtheInternet,I rememberlookingup


the word genealogyon a searchengine,andI wastruly
astoundedto seetherewere over 10,000responses. I
was astoundedbecausein the early 1990sgenealogy
wasn't exactlya householdword.

Today, when I search for the word genealogy on a


popularsearchengine,I get almost80 million hits or
responses!Initially, on the surface,that might seem
wonderful,but in fact, it revealsa huge new problem
facing researchers.Who can look through 80 million
responses? Insteadof too few facts,suddenlythereare
too many factsto go through!

SearchEngine Techniques

I mentioned earlier that beginners often go to a


searchengine,type in a nameand wait for the results.

50
The Internet Llnfblds

Sometimesevenpeopleusingthe Interneta lot do little


more thanjust type in what they're looking for. That is
most often a big mistake.

For example,I went to Googletand enteredmy name,


Noel Elliot.I got back almosttwo million results.

However,as soon as I put quotationmarks aroundmy


name,"I{oel Elliot," I got back about3,500results.

Quotationmarksare widely usedby searchenginesto


meanthe resultsmust be preciselythe wordsor phrase
betweenthe quotationmarks.

I got almost two million results on the first search


becausethe searchengine-if I just enterNoel Elliot-
will look for Noel Elliot but it will also look for any
websitepagethatmentionsNoel andElliot evenif they
are widely separatedin an article.

So rememberthis: if the name you are searchingfor


is rare or uncommon,then using quotationmarkswill
bring back comparativelyfew entries.

However, this doesn't work very well for common


names.For example,if I choosethename"JohnSmith"
within quotationmarks,I get over five million results.

However, if I add a middle name, "Joltn Maynard


Smith,"I get lessthan 75,000results.It turns out that

5l
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

someonefamoushad that name.But if I add the name


Elliot as the middle name and searchon "John Elliot
Smith,"then I get only 74 results.Obviouslythis name
is not as famous.Experiment,experiment!

Here'sanotherangle.I tried enteringmy namewithout


quotationmarksplus the word genealogyand Canada,
like this: I{oel Elliot genealogyCanada.I got 14,600
results.Even that is a lot better than the two million
resultsI got when enteringmy namewithout the words
genealogyand Canada.

One more step: if I enter "Noel Elliot" genealogy


Canada, I get only five results.This is just a small
sampler of how you can narrow down the results of
a search.

A little ingenuity, thought and experimentationwill


converta beginnerto at leastan amateurin a very short
time. In today'sworld, a searchengineis the primary
resourcefor everykind of research.

This simply meansthat searchtechniqueshave to be


constantlyrefinedin orderto preciselyfind the person
you are searchingfor.

I strongly recommend that when you visit a search


engine website, take the time to click on advanced
search.Examineall the optionsvery carefullyandyou
will be richly rewarded.

52
The Internet Unfolds

You will be pleasantlysurprisedwhat searchengine


administratorshave orgafirzedto refine your search
immeasurably.Searchengineoperatorsspenda lot of
time and energy to try and clearly illustrate what is
now possible.

One last trick that you find very handy is to specify a


range of years.For example,if I search"JohnSmith"
born 1617...1618Igetonly 122results.So,evenwith
a popular name like John Smith, the searchcan be
narroweddown b namingthe year(s)of probablebirth,
marrrageor death.When you specify a rangeof years
suchas 1617...1621the searchwill bring back results
only within that speciflcrange.

In general,professionalgenealogists
haveup to 21 ways
arounda genealogyblock in the mid to late 1800s.

Familiarity andthe studyof surnamesand givennames


by onomatologistsprovide us with referencebooks
thatoften provide a breakthroughin tracing namesthat
havechangedovertime. Thesereferencebooksbelong
on the shelfof everyseriousgenealogist.

Criminals

Othersimmigratinginto NorthAmericawerecriminals,
intent on doing anythingthey could to createan alias
or false surname.This might work well until the
time of marriage,sincethat particular record usually
requiredthe parents'namesof the bride and groom,
and requiredwitnesseswho providedtheir namesand
addresses.Often people trying to hide their identity
would give somecorrectnames,or parts of names,on
sucha document.

Thereareseveralotherwaysof tracingthesepurposely
changed names that are very sophisticated.These
techniques are known primarily to highly innovative
genealogistsand private investigatorsversed in an
intenseprocessof eliminationandothermethods,some
of which may occasionallyextendinto grayareas.

A very few generationslater, however, descendants


of criminals might run into serioushealth problems

60
Finding Peoplein the Past

if they cannotget a medicalhistory of their ancestors


to assistthem in their own medical diagnoses.This
meansthat one result of hiding your identity is that
your descendants' lives could be at risk.

Fortunately, DNA and the genetic sciences are


advancingto the place where even those who do not
know their family ancestrycan be assistedand more
so with eachpassingyear.

Is SingaporeAhead of North America?

In the year 2000, Singaporebecamethe first country


in the world to conducttheir entirepopulationcensus
on the Internet.

Think of the greatsavingsand efficiency over door-to-


door enumerationsand all the paperwork and voter-
machineproblems.

Every crtrzeninCanadahasa SocialInsuranceNumber


(SIN) and every citizen in the U.S. has a Social
SecurityNumber (SSN). Computerslove to crunch
numbersand they can do it instantly.What on earth
are we waiting for? Maybe our governmentsshould
be humble enough to inquire from Singaporeabout
their methodologies.

This makes we wonder: How many trees do we cut


down every yearto producetelephonebooks?And we
have to wait a year to get a new replacementfor our
current books. And the beat goes on. Wasteof time.
Wasteof money.Wasteof natural resources.

And think about all thosetrucks that are loadeddown

Let's consultwith Singapore!

Genealogiststo the Rescue

Genealogyis classifiedtwo different ways-first, the


"-ogy" ending tells us it is a scienceof something-
and that somethingis genus,or generations,or human
genesis.

Genealogyis the scienceof identifying an individual,


in relationshipto other family members.It uses the
evidence generatedby direct family connection of
siblings,parentsand so on.

62
Finding People in the Past

As mentionedearlier,the sciencepart of genealogyis


becoming more closely linked with anotherscience,
genetics-the sciencewherethe chromosomesandthe
DNA moleculearebeing unraveledand accelerated.

In the great classificationof things, genealogyis not


only classifiedasa scienceon its own,it is alsoseenas
an auxiliary branchof history. Genealogyprovidesthe
skeletonof family history.It is importantto keep this
duality-genealogy and history-clear in your mind"
eventhoughwe will dealprimarily with the scienceof
genealogyin this book.

Genealogy has to do with a lot of investigative


techniques,the outcome of which should provide
documentary evidence. These source documents
and findings provide a picture of a series of sharp
occurrencesbetweenthe cradle and the grave, and
associations
with closefamily kin.

A very large percentageof biographiesbegin with


details about the grandparentsand parents, and other
family members,otherwisewe would not understand
the background the challenges,and the kind of
environmentthe subject was raised in during their
formative years.

Genealogyis always a searchfor truth. It separates


family mythology and family fiction (and sometimes
over-inflatedegos)from the reality of eventsas they

63
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

really occurred.In this sense,genealogyis refreshing,


for it teachesus that every family has ups and downs
during the many generationsthat takeplaceovera long
periodof time.

The person who really spotted and predicted the


popularity of genealogy in the future, was L6on
Roy, an archivist who worked in the Archives of the
Provinceof Qu6bec,Canada.a

The recordsof FrenchCanadiansare amongthe best


in the world if not the very best.In Qu6bec,genealogy
is often more than just a hobby or pastime-it is a
passion.

Someof the largestfamily reunionsin the world take


place in Qu6bec. It has been stated with authority
that the greatestnational treasureof Qu6becis their
genealogicalheritage.Their records are simply the
bestof any stateor provincein North Amerrca.

This is particularly fortunate for many American


families in New England, New York, Michigan and
all the northern border Stateswho descendedfrom
the French.It is very common to trace such families
back into the 1600s and beyond with relative ease,
sincelinks are most often providedto ancestorsin the
ancestralvillagesandparishesin France.

64
Finding People in the Past

Since the Frenchhave spreadout into every province


in Canada,it is also fortunatefor Canadianswho have
some French ancestry,including the M6tis and the
Acadians.

Rememberthe Rootstelevisionseriescrazethat swept


North America and then Austraha? More people
watchedthe televisionmini-seriesthan watchedman's
first stepon the moon.

YearslatertheRootstelevisionproductionwasselected
by the Chinese government to be their New Year's
specialprogram,and it was seenon nationaltelevision
acrossChina.

I tried to imaginethe likelihood of the story of a black


man's ancestryfrom Africa, &s told by a descendant
generationslater in the United States,beingusedas an
exampleand inspirationfor the peoplein China.Since
it was for the ChineseNew Year,perhapsit was chosen
by the governmentto motivatethe people of China to
view their future with optimism. I think it worked!

Anyway, during the Roots publicity, the fascinating


thing to me, and mentionedin a greatmanymagazines
in the 1970s,was that all the so-calledexpertsdidn't
seeit coming. The public's interestin genealogyhad
been growing uphill in strength and numbers every
year since 1960, but the experts didn't even see it
happeningas anykind of significantevent.

65
Finding Anyone, Anywhere, Anywhen

All along, I kept thinking: Here is a hobby that is


growing dynamically.Millions of people are strongly
interestedand excited. Nobody told the public to
get interestedin this hobby, no governmenttold the
peopleto do it, no advertisementstold the public to get
interestedin tracingyour family tree.

This is very important!Why? Simply becauseit shows


that this phenomenonwas a naturalinborn needrising
to the surfacein people'slives at this particular time
in history. It was all part of a searchfor identity and
meaningin a societythat was in dangerof becoming
rootless.It was somekind of natural responseto the
times we were living in and the conditions we felt
aroundus.

And yet,it remainedseeminglyundetectedfor decades,


evenby the so-calledsocialscientists.

The only people who really knew it was happening


were those who were working in archives,because
each year they neededmore money and time to meet
the swelling demandfor information.For example,in
their annual reports year after year,the Nova Scotia
Archives referred to the huge backlog of mail, and
askedother archivistshow they copedwith the rising
tide of requests.

Genealogicalsocietiesand many historical societies


were beneficiariesof this rising public interest in

66
Finding People in the Past

genealogy.Word of mouth played alargerole until the


media caught on. The ongoing interestin genealogy
led to a swellingof the ranks amonggenealogicaland
historical societies.More and more clubs and familv
associationssprangup.

Each genealogygroup had a library of helpful books,


or used the local history collection of their public
library. More and more books were being published"
especiallyin the awakeningperiod from the 1960s
to the 1990s.Printed indexesto censusrecords,birth
records,baptismalrecords,tax records,voters' lists,
immigration lists, crty, town, township and county
histories,sprangup everywhere.

Avid genealogists
andhistorianscameout in drovesto
genealogicalsocietymeetings.Societiesheld fairs and
othermeetings,drawingthe public. Later,in thesehuge
annualevents,peoplecrowdedaroundthe publication
displayssearchingfor books of interest.

In my mind, the most valuableindexescombinemany


indexesfrom different types of sources,in different
periodsof time, into one massivealphabeticalindex.

For example, in 1984, The GenealogicalResearch


Library produceda three-volumeset of books titled
People of Ontario 1600-1900.It had been derived
from a large number of publications and historical
property maps,and thus Ontario was the first province

67
Finding Anyone, Anywhere, Anywhen

to havean index combininga multitudeof sourcesinto


one largeindex. It had beenproducedusing the Apple
II computer, machine-languageprograffis, a disk
operatingsystemand a library of 5" floppy diskettes.

By the 1990safter upgradingthe indexing programs


and training scoresof indexers,the library published
12 volumes, which coveredall of Canada for three
centuriesof time, 1600-1900.

By the year 2000, the data in those books and new


indexing had reachedthe place where even 84 huge
volumeswouldn't containall thedata, andsothe library
decided to begin developmentof a major database
enginefor their website,www.grl.com.

Here's a personalway I can truly illustrate the huge


advantageof the Internet over a library of genealogy
books.

Let's comparethe previousprinting of the 12 books


in the 1990s,with the Internet databankwhich came
onlinein 2003.

The original 12 volume set of bookspublishedin the


1990scost over $1000to purchase. They held details
of abouttwo million ancestors.

Today,just ten yearsafter thosebookswerepublished,


for a very few dollars, anyone can join the library

68
Finding People in the Past

at www.grl.comand search2I million records.Add


to that one million sourcedocumentimages that are
availableas well. These images can be downloaded
for free by members.And then add to that, several
thousandantiquemaps of every country in the world.
The maps are also avarlableto members.

The cost has droppedto a tiny fraction of the cost of


the 12 volumes, while the amount of data available
has increaseddramaticallyon the Internet.Plus source
imagesandmaps.Additionally,a searchon the Internet
takesa fracttonof a seconil far fasterthanyou canopen
a book andevenbeginto look.

Two Major Commercial Databasesin the U.S.

In the U.S.,therearetwo hugegenealogywebsitesthat


are commercialin nature,namely,www.ancestry.com
and www.genealogy.com. Both of theseare databases
owned by The GenerationsNetwork (previousknown
as www.myfamily.com).Both databasescharge for
most of their services on a databaseby database
basisor by specificcollections.Examinethe content
carefully to discern which databaseyou need before
paying anymoney.I advisepeoplethe sameway about
the databaseat www.grl.com.

It is alwayssensibleto seeif you canfind whatyou need


for free, before paying to searcha fee-basedwebsite.
Ultimately,you may indeedfind that some fee-based

69
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

sitesare highly useful for finding what you're looking


for and there are often many benefitsto membership.

Most fee-basedwebsiteskeep people employedwho


are excellent indexers-and they can be fired if their
error-rate is not kept at a minimum. Other websites
may have volunteer indexersproviding the data,only
to discoverthey havea mixture of correctandincorrect
data.There are good indexersand there are indexers
that are not so good.

In summdry,there are advantagesand disadvantages


of fee-basedas well as free websites.so the onusis on
you to searchcarefully.

Cyndi's List

For the record, a popular website for locating


genealogicalwebsiteshas traditionally been Cyndi's
List at www.cyndislist.com.While I still use this
website,personallyI liked the older layoutthis sitehad
a few yearsago.For ffie,I foundthe old listingsquicker
and easierto usethan the currentlayout.However,that
said,it is still the #1 index to genealogysitesand it is a
primary resourceand many researchers use it.

The largestdatabase in theworld,however,is absolutely


free to search.And that database-surprisinglyto most
newcomers-is contained in two Mormon church
websites,as follows:

70
Finding People in the Past

www.familysearch.org
http:I I prlot familysearch.orglr ecordsearch/start.html#

If you are searchingfor your ancestorsI suggestyou


startwith the free searches.If you areunsuccessful, then
try the cornmercialsearches, especiallyif they give you
a free searchor trial period to seewhat they have.

There are thousandsof free databases. We have listed


a few thousandof them in the Worldwide website
Directory at the end of this book. For example,most
stateandprovincialarchiveshavea websitewheremore
andmore materialis becomingsearchable. They range
drastically in the amountof information available.

About the world's Largest Free GenealogyWebsite

As mentione4 the single largest sources of free


genealogicalrecordsin theworld is foundattheMonnon
churchwebsitesmentionedabove.As more recordsare
indexedaroundthe world, they aremoved into the free
online databas
e at www.familysearch.org.

Interestingly,this huge website and searchengine is


operatedby the Church of JesusChrist of Latter-Day
Saints or Mormons as they are popularly called. I
myself am not a Mormon, but they havemade a huge
impact on genealogicalresearchglobally.Again, the
Mormon websiteat www.familysearch.org is the single
most importantwebsiteon our planet for finding free
genealogicalinformation.

7T
Finding Anyone, Anywhere, Anywhen

The genealogy data includes the famous IGI


or International Genealogy Index, which is a
tremendous resource for genealogy for a large
numberof countries.

Let me get the legalnicetiescoveredhere:this website


is owned by The Corporationof the Presidentof the
Church of JesusChrist of Latter-DaySaints,Inc. The
website'scopyrightownershipis vestedin Intellectual
Reserve,Inc., and the InternationalGenealogyIndex
is a trademarkownedby IntellectualReserve,Inc.

The IGI lists millions of births,christenings,


baptisms
and marrragesin countriesaround the world. Since a
greatmany of theserecordsare obtainedfrom parish
registers,the IGI is very valuable becausein such
cases,thesearerecordsof primary evidence.

The Mormon IGI is particularly strong in certain


countriesincludingthe United States,England Wales,
Scotland Mexico, Ireland Germany,Austria, Canada
andRussia.

The IGI recordsthat wereusedto producethe indexed


database were all microfilmed originally. These
microfilmsof scanneddocumentsarestoredin massive
vaults in the mountains near Salt Lake City, Utah,
within atomicbomb proof facilities containinga fresh
water supply in the eventof a catastropheor war.

72
Finding Peoplein the Past

FortheMormonsthemselves, the acquiringandstorage


of theserecordsis a necessityfor churchwork by their
members.Youmight notice thattheIGI index is devoid
of death records and cemetery records, and that's
becauseof certain beliefs held by Mormons. When
it comesto birth, baptism, christeningand marriage
records,however,they are loaded.

The Mormons also maintain their internationally


famousFamily History Library in Salt Lake City. This
facility is a place not only usedby researchersin the
U.S., but by visiting researchersand scholarsfrom
many other countriesas well.

The Mormon website also has another set of free


records that are indispensableif you are searching
for peoplewho lived during the 1800sor early 1900s
in England,Wales, Scotland the United Statesand
Canada.Theseare the every-nameindexesto federal
censuses.They've had very popular censusrecords
indexedfor many yearsnow, specifically:

1881censusof EnglandWales,and Scotland


1880censusof the U.S.A.(all states)
1881censusof Canada(all provinces)

The 1881 censusesmention every family member,


householdby househol{ who was alive in thoseyears.
They include the name of every man, woman and
child. Their ages are given, along with birthplaces,

-a
t3
Finding Anyone, Anywhere, Anywhen

occupations,marrtal statusand many other important


facts as well. Every month more censusrecords for
variousyearsare being addedcountry by country.

In the Worldwide WebsiteDirectory included in this


book, I havealso listedmany otherwebsitesproviding
various censusyears for different countries,some as
earlyasthe 1600sand othersasrecentas 1945.

This book is not meant to be a training manual for


genealogists.A discussionof tax lists,schoolcensuses,
assessment rolls,cemeteryrecords,burialrecords,wills
and a plethoraof other kinds of recordsis beyondthe
scopeof this book. However,the Worldwide Website
Directory will link you to thesekinds of recordsand
much,much more.

I will, however,discusstwo particular areashere that


are more specificto Internetsearching.Let's discuss
that old standby newspapers,and kick it up a notch
or two.

Newspapers

One of the sourcesfor births, marriagesand deaths-


as well as millions of articlesand socialcolumnsthat
might mentionthe peopleyou seek-are newspapers.

Newspaperswere being printed long before vital


records of births, maffragesand deathswere being

t4
Finding People in the Past

collected by governments. Some newspapers


publishedextensivegenealogies
of familieswho were
early settlers.

The YarmouthHerald, for example, located in Nova


Scotia,publishedvast genealogiesof New England
families that had branchesof the familv who cameto
Canada.

The collectedgenealogiesfrom the YarmouthHerald


were eventually published between the years 1896
and 1901. Thesecomprehensive genealogies included
detailedlistings of families,generationby generation,
often beginning in the 1600sand ending in the late
1800s.Thesenewspapergenealogieswere compiled
into a massive book and published in 1993.sThis
book containsinvaluablegenealogicaldatafor those
seekingancestorsin the New England statesas well
as in Nova Scotia.The descendants of thesefamilies
today are scatteredthroughout many other regions of
the U.S. and Canada,and probably in a great many
othercountriesaswell.

In the Worldwide Website Directory you will find


newspaperwebsitesfor about 200 different countries.
You can investigatetheseon your own as well.

You will find almost every country listed and the


principal newspapers, along with links to connectyou
directly to the particularnewspaperyou seek.Many of

75
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

the newspapers
haveemail addresses
includedin these
listings.

If you are searchingfor a lost relative and you know


they lived in a certain crty,why not write a letter to the
editor? It's free, and thousandsof people have found
missing family links by taking this simple step.Today
you can contacteditorsby email, avoidingthe cost of
postage,envelopeand a drive to the post office.

Digital Newspapersand Indexes

Wouldn't it be nice if you could searchfor anyone's


name ever mentionedin a newspaperover a 40 or 50
year period? Or a century?It's here alreadv!

Several groups around the world are scanning old


newspapers and using highly sophisticated OCR
(optical character recognition) software to convert
old newspapersinto digital data.Once dtgrtrzedother
softwarecreatesindexeson any noun mentioned.

This is a researcher's
dreamcome true, or at leastit's
becomingmore true with eachpassingmonth.

One of the first companiesthat caught my attention


nearthe beginningof newspaperdrgttrzationwas Cold
North Wnd, Inc., and I have followed their progress
with greatanticipation.

76
Finding People in the Past

Their website is at www.paperofrecord.com.They


have drgittzedwell over 2l mlllion newspaperpagesat
the time of writing. Newspapersin many countriesare
being dtgrtrzed.This is necessarilya pay site,but well
worth the moneyif you seenewspapers in their list that
you needto search.

Another website,www.newspaperarchive.com, claims


to have 993.6 million articles covering 77| cities,
over a 240 yearperiod,and 2,975 titles, as of the time
of writing. I searchedon a rare name to samplethe
index and got severalhundred hits. Again, this is a
subscriptionsite.

Also of particularinterestto genealogists


is thewebsite
http://www.genealogybank.com/gbnlC

At the time of writing www.genealogybank.com had


125 million articles,from more than 500,000issues
of about 2,500 historical U.S. newspapers.These
newspaperswere originally publishedbetween1690
and 1980.

They also havethe texts online for searchingI 1,700


booksprior to the year 1900,and I 5 1,000 reports,as
well as other lists and documentsspanningthe years
1789 to 1980.Their websiteconstantlylists newly-
addednewspapersand I am impressedwith the speed
at which more contentis being digittzedand addedto

records.Familiesarerecordedgenerationby generation.
Many of thesegenealogiesstart aroundthe late 1800s
and go as far back in time as 1,000yearsago.

Therefore,I havesingledout this overlookedcollection


of booksandI referto them asthe Lost Genealogies. If
I wereto usethe old dictionarymeaningof "fabulous,"
it would really apply here.Thesegenealogiesare truly
fabulous.

The purposeof the next chapteris to revealtheseLost


Genealogiesand to show you why they are the single
most unusedsourceof genealogic al datain the world
today.

TheLost Genealogies
Heraldry, Coats ofArms, and Crests

Coats of arms and crestsoriginated many centuries


ago before the generalpublic could read and write.
TheywerepopularthroughoutEurope,the British Isles
(United Kingdom) and Japan.

Knights and soldiersin battle, often wearing suits of


armor, with their face helmetsclosed"did not have a
clear view of who was who in the midst of fighting,
anda split secondhesitationcouldmeanthe difference
betweenlife and death. Certain garmentsworn over
the armor, and specificsymbolsemblazonedon their
shieldswerethe fastestway to distinguishbetweenone
of their own or the enemy.They could recognizecolor
patternsand designseasily,evenif they wereunableto
reador write.

The coatsof arms were generallyissuedby a central


legal authority in each country, and were usually
reservedfor peopleof noble families and royalty.

In England for example, even today the College of


Arms continuesto grantarmsto thosewho aredeemed
worthy. The design involves complicated mixes of
symbols, colors and replicationsof animal furs and
metals,all with certainmeaningsandcharacteristics.

83
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anyone

Todayyou will seecoatsof anns for cities,provinces,


statesand countriesand are often part of official seals.

It is importantto knoW however,thatthereis generally


no suchthing as a coat of arms or crestfor a surname.
Coatsof arms were grantedto individuals,Sohaving
the same surnameas someonein the past that had a
coatof armsdoesnot meorryou area directdescendant
of that person.

Heraldry merchantscan be found at fairs, malls, and


even on the Internet.They may show you a picture of
a coatof arms with your surnamebelow it. Bewareof
this, unlessyou know-with genealogicalevidence-
that you area direct descendantof the original person
to whom sucharms were granted.Saveyour money.

Why then, does legitimate heraldry play such an


important part in genealogicalresearch?Applicants
for coatsof arms had to attachgenealogicalevidence
as documentation,which had to be verified as part of
the registrationof arms.In somecasesthe coatof arms
camewith extensivegenealogy-or at the very leasta
brief family history-that's why it is so important.

Such genealogieswill trace the ancestryof European


familiesbackinto the 1300sandsometimes evenearlier
than that. It is the most neglectedareaof genealogical
research.

84
TheLost Genealogies

Genealogies attachedto coatsof armsbridgehugegaps


that are missing in written records.Thesegenealogies
hadto be acceptedby the authoritiesgrantingarms.The
authoritieshad professionalexpertswho thoroughly
examinedall genealogicalevidence.It wasvery serious
business.

Rememberthat although these arms were originally


for noble families,the genealogieswould nevertheless
often include people that were not of the nobility
themselves,includingthosewho weredistantlyrelated
in some way. Many of these marvelousgenealogies
wouldoftenencompass timeperiodswheregenealogical
recordswere eithermissingor had beendestroyed.

More than 250,000peoplewere awardedcoatsof arms


in the past.Imaginethe genealogiesandfamily histories
andthe connectivitythatwould be includedamongsuch
a largenumberofpeople.I daresaythatmillionsofpeople
would fall underonehugegenealogicalumbrella.

As more heraldic genealogiesare discovered,more


pieces are addedto this global jigsaw puzzle that is
truly giganticin size.

As usual, the pessimistswill say most records can


neverbe found,whereasoptimistsand realistscan say
truthfully that with eachpassingyear,a virtual torrent
of new information is emerging and sometimesit
originatesfrom the most unlikely places.

85
Finding Anyone, Anywhere, Anyone

How far it will evolve in yearsto come is anybody's


guess,but it will - without any doubt - continueto
grow larger and larger as we move into the future
wherevast storehouses of informationand knowledge
will resideat our fingertips.

It is also possible that geneticswill be able to be


combinedwith what you know of your family tree, to
actually extendyour genealogy- by personif not by
name- back far enoughto connectin with ancestors
from centuries ago. Still skeptical?Visit the many
websitesinvolved in DNA sampling.Here are just a
few of many that may surpriseyou:

www.smgf.org/indexj spx
www.ybase.org/default.asp

The oldest original books combining heraldry and


genealogywere all painstakinglymade by hand. In
a few casesjust one original is made.In other cases,
copieswere madeone by one for a limited numberof
patrons,librariesor archives.

The GenealogicalResearchLibrary has copied many


of thesehandwrittenbooks and once the genealogies
arecompletelyindexed,they will makethem available.
Once agarn, what was once available only to the
privilegedfew in the pastwill be availableto everyone,
at little or no cost.

86
The Lost Genealogies

As thesebooks of heraldrywith attachedgenealogies


are assembledtogether and added to the growing
genealogical databases,the skeptics who predicted
huge gapswould alwaysremain will be provenwrong
onceagain.

The rest of this chaptercontainsa few samplesof


heraldic designs and the genealogiesassociated
with them.

I trust that these images and copies are worth


thousandsof words, so I will let them speak for
themselves.Theseare very real examplesof The Lost
Genealogies.

Finding Peoplein
the Present
Dead or Alive?

There is a myriad of reasonswhy you might want to


locate someonethat you believe is living somewhere
in North America. This sectionwill cover techniques
for finding peopleliving in the present,both here and
in many other countries.

If the personyou seek was living in the U.S., then


before going through a sequenceof searchesto find
him or her in the present,you should first check to
seeif that personhas died recently.For example,you
may be trying to locate an old friend that you went to
schoolwith when you were a child.

The SocialSecurityDeathIndex (SSDI) is maintained


in the U.S. Social Securitv Administration's Death
MasterFile.

The namesinclude anyonewho had a Social Security


Number(SSN)andwhosedeathwasreportedto Social
SecurityAdministration, andifbenefitswerepayableto
the survivingspouse.It containsapplicationsbeginning
at the endof I 936,althoughthevastmajority ofrecords
are for thosewho died between1965and the present.
It is updatedannually.

115
Finding Anyone, Anywhere, Anyw,hen

Currently, my personal favorite free source of this


index is maintainedat www.newenglandancestors.org.
updatedto 2005,the ssDI containsthe namesof about
75 million people.The exactaddressfor the SSDI is:

http :I I www.newenglandancestors
.orgl database_
search/ssdi.asp

If you find the personyou seek,you can also order


a copy of their original SSN applicationform. That
applicationusually shows the full name (and in the
caseof women, their maiden name),place of birth,
date of birth, their addressat the time of application,
color,the namesof parentsincludingthe maidenname
of the mother,and the signatureof the applicant.The
signatureis very important for comparing to wills,
deeds and other important documentsthe deceased
may havesigned.

Once you locate data in the SSDI, you can then


order a copy of the Application for a Social
Security Number (SS-5). To requesta copy of a
SS-5 form, you must send a letter to the Social
SecurityAdministration (pursuantto the Freedom
of InformationAct)with the detailsof the individual
in question.Your letter must include: the name of
the individual, the social securitynumber,date and
placeof deathandreasonthe informationis wanted
(family history is an acceptablereason).You will

116
Finding People in the Present

needto inquire what the chargeis-fees havebeen


rising. Sendyour letter to:

Social SecurityAdministration
Freedomof InformationOfficer
4-H-8 Annex Building
6401SecurityBlvd.
Baltimore.MD 21235

One last searchyou might want to do, however,before


searchingfor a living person,is to check out www.
interment.netfor cemeterylistings, especiallyif you
know the likely stateor a tri-stateareawherehe or she
might havedied.

Onceyou havecarriedout the SSDI search,if you do


not find a record indicating death and benefits,then
it is quite possiblethat the personyou are seekingis
actuallyalive today.In that case,the following section
will prove most useful. Finding an old friend from
yearstgo, or finding a long-lostrelative,can be a very
exciting experience.

U.S.- Searchingfor a Living Person

A recent and very powerful search used by


governments,lawyers,businesses,professionalskip
tracersand individu.alsis availableat

www.zabasearch.com

lt7
Finding An))one, Anywhere, Anywhen

Free searchresults will often include the last several


addresses of an individual.In manycasesit oftenreveals
thebirthyear,monthor datesoyou canusea processof
eliminationto zeroin on the personyou seek.

Another bonus-search results will often include


telephonenumbers (don't be surprisedto see both
listed and unlistednumbers).

Zabasearchclaims that this free public information


is collected from phone listings, court records,real
property records, subscriptionsetc. In other words,
they claim that their sources are publicly available
governmentrecordsand commercialsources.

For thosewith an investigativetrait, zabasearchoffers


a backgroundcheckfor a fee,which may providea lot
of informationaboutan individual.

Once you have the street addressin Zabasearch,you


can go to www.terraserver.com for a satelliteimageof
the area.To get driving instructionsandroadmaps,go
to the popularwww.mapquest.com. This is also a very
useful website if you are vacationinganywherein the
U.S. and Canada.

New and impressivetechnologywill soonbe available


from www.pictometry.com.
Theywill be ableto provide
imagesof buildingsandhomesin 3D technologywith
45-degreeanglephotography.A sampleis avarlableon

118
Finding People in the Present

the website.It will provide excellentvisualizatronfor


911 emergencycalls aswell asan unlimitednumberof
otheruses.

Although zabameansfree,this searchmay not be free


in the near future. I would not be surprisedto seean
annual subscriptionfee or minimum annual purchase
of one backgroundcheckper year,for example- time
will tell. At the time of writing this websitesearchis
in beta or testingmode and is free unlessyou want a
backgroundsearch.

Other websitessimilar m some ways to Zabasearch


afe:

www.criminalsearches.com
www.peoplesearch.com
www.peoplescanner.
com
www.intelius.com
www.ussearch.com

More thana decadeago,white andyellow pagelistings


beganappearingon the Internet.Today,it is relatively
easy to acquire mailing addressesand telephone
numbersalong with postalor zip codes.

TelephoneDirectoriesWorldwide

Websitesthat coverwhite andyellow pagesin the U.S.


or Canadaor both include:

119
Finding Anyone, Anywhere, Anywhen

www.whitepages.com
http://www.superpage
s.com/?SRC-insp
www.411.com
www.switchboard.com

In England and the UK, check out www. l92.com


which as well as directories,has an amazingset of
electoralrolls coveringthe years2002to 2008.These
even allow investigatorsto verify the agesof people
in someyears.I'm certainthatthesekinds of searches
will be in strong demandin the future in many other
countries.

To locate telephonedirectoriesin other countries,I


will first assumeyou have read the sectionon search
engines.If so, then the easiestway is to use a search
engineand enterwhite pagesSweden,for example.In
some countries,what we call white pages(in North
America) areactuallyknown as yellow pagesin some
othercountries,so the alternativetechniqueis to enter
into a search engine yellow pages followed by the
name of the country.Experimentwith naming a large
city ratherthan a country if you haveno success.

Contactingpeopleby telephoneis not all thatexpensive


comparedto years 4go, and costs have been coming
downthanksto websiteslike www.magtcjack.comand
wwwjaxtr.com. Remembertoo that peoplehavingthe
samesurnameandliving in the sameareaasthe person
you seekmay know the personyou're looking for. I've

t20
Finding People in the Present

usedwhite page searcheseffectivelymany times over


the pasttwo decades.Often this searchhas locatedthe
personI was seekingafter all other searchtechniques
had failed.

What,f yo, don't lcnowthesurname?

Believeit or not,thereis a way of searchingfor someone


if you don't have a surnaffie,or if you have forgotten
the surname.It is a simple three-stepprocessthat is
easyonceyou know how!

(1.) Go to www.intelius.comand selecta state,enter


the first nameandif you know the initial for the middle
name enter it also. The more information you can
supply,the better.Also, & rare or unusualgiven name
will producea manageablelist of searchresults.

(2.) Search.The resultscan then be examined.You will


seea list of peoplewith the first namesand initials you
provided, along with their acfual surnames.You may
recognrzethesurnameif you haveforgoffenit, but evenif
you don't,you havea list of possiblenamesto checkout.
And how do you checkthem out?Copy the list or print it
out on a sheetof paper,andproceedto the next step.

(3.) Go to www.41I .comandenterthefull namedetails


you now have,andthe state.The searchresultsusually
provideyou with the fulI addressandtelephonenumber
in most instances.

If you find who you are looking for, you can call them
to ensureyou havethe right personand not someone
else who just happensto have the samename as the
personyou seek.Don't ever make assumptionsabout
this. Once you think you havefound the right person,
you can go back to www.intelius.comand order a
backgroundsearchto seeif you have a match(former
addresses, etc.).

This searchtechniqueworks well at the time of writing,


but may not be availablein the future. The future is
uncertain, however,so there may acfually be several
ways of carrying out this type of search.

Searchingfor the Living: Worldwide

Anotherway of finding someoneliving todayis to use


quotation marks around the person's name (include
their middle nameor initial if you haveit) in a search
engine. Search engine techniquesare outlined in a
previouschapter.This is a very powerfulsearch,global
in its scope,and shouldneverbe overlooked.Also, use
the advancedfeaturesin the searchengine to narrow
your searchevenmore. If you don't use the advanced
featuresyou are not doing the bestjob of searching.

Your next step would be to check newspapers.The


chapter,Finding Peoplein the Past,endswith a careful
outline of how to locatenewspapersin anycountry,and
more importantly, how to search digital newspapers

r22
Finding People in the Present

online. Sincemany of the newspapersare indexedby


every name,up to the presentdate,you can searchfor
a living person,either today (literally), or during the
last decade,for example.

Digital newspapers with digital indexesto everyname


mentioned therein are a very new type of resource
that will have a profound effect on all researchersand
biographersin thenearfuture.While manygenealogists
are using them already, chances are the number of
people using this techniquewill grow rapidly. Many
peoplealivetoday,includingthosewho might be called
hermitsor obscurecrttzensby others,canbe locatedin
this manner.

Dead or Alive in Canada

Zabasearchdoesnot currently extendinto Canada,but


onewebsitethat catersto companiesasclientsto carry
out backgroundchecks, credit reports and criminal
recordsis www.backcheck.net.

In Canada,nothing similar to the SSDI exists for


public accessyet, but there are excellentindexesto
cemeteries,the most notableof which are the OCFA5
and OCFA6 (Ontario CemeteryFinding Aid) and the
BCCFA (British ColumbiaCemeteryFindingAid).

Ontariois the mostpopulatedprovinceandthe OCEA5


and OCFA6 are indexesto people buried in Ontario.

123
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

One major disadvantageis that it doesnot include the


date or year of burial. While this is a seriousmissing
pieceof data,this searchdoesprovidea greatbenefitto
personswho had either uncommonsurnamesor given
names.Also, if you know the countywherean ancestor
might be burie4 this searchis very helpful.The city of
Torontois not coveredvery well in the OCFA search,
but Mt. PleasantCemeteryandits associated cemeteries
havevery completecomputertzedrecordson site.

The OCFA searchhas the names of more than three


million people.To search,go to:

www.i slandnet.com/ocfa

The BCCFA is similar, but it doescontaindates.It is


very valuablefor locatingburialsin British Columbia.
This is a free searchof the burial recordsof 344,000
people,andis availablefrom:

www.i slandnet.com/bccfa

The Alberta GenealogicalSociety has been indexing


cemeteriesthroughoutthe provinceandwill do limited
searchesfor a $2 fee at the time of writing. Check for
updatesat:

124
Finding People in the Present

New Brunswick has more than 217,000 cemetery


recordsavailable.They are loc atedat:

http :II ar chtves.gnb.cal APPSA{B Cemeteries/


D efault.aspx?L-EN&PageLoad-Form

GenealogicalSocieties

In each province, genealogicalsocietiesand their


brancheshaveindexedmany of the cemeteriesin their
district or county, often with full extractsand dates.
The advantageis that you usually find the personyou
seekalong with other family membersmentionedon
the gravestoneor on a clusterof family stones.

Large Libraries

If you live in Canada,then sizeableregionallibraries,


provincial libraries, and provincial archives have
extensivecollectionsof otherusefuldocuments.

As well-and alwaysworthy ofnote-the Metropolitan


TorontoReferenceLibrary (MTRL) is Canada'slargest
public referencelibrary.It has an excellentcollection
of recordscoveringmany provinces,and tnfact, many
countries.

r25
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

Their catalogof holdings as well the holdings of all


otherTorontoPublic Librariescan be accessedat:

htQ :I lwww.torontopubliclrbrary.cal.

Also in Toronto, the North York Public Library has a


very large collection of genealogicalbooks and films
coveringmost of Canada.They can be reachedat:

And now, let's stepinto the future together.

r26
TheFutureInternet
Where is the Internetheadedin the future?

I provided an answer to this years d5o, in the first


edition of this book, andthe answerremainsso simple
that it is almostelusiveto the experts.

If you can speakwith a child or if you can think for a


momentlike a teenager,the answeris plainly evident.

If you aska child whenhe would like to hearhis favorite


song he will say right now. If you neededto know the
populationof a countryfor a paperyou arewriting, you
want it now.This idea of the instantworld has led us to
calling youngpeopleThe Now Generation.

What we want is now.

If you extrapolatethat and look at the World Wide Web


and picture it as the sourceof instant everythirg, then
you will seewherethewebis going.Somecorporations
and governmentsmay arrive struggling, kicking and
screamirg,but they will be inevitably draggedalong
by the people towardsthe eventualoutcome:Instant
information,instantmedia,the past and the present-
all available,now.

Already televisioncablecompanieshaverespondedto
this public pressure- you and your family may want

t27
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

to watch a certainmovie at 6 p.m., stop the movie for


supperat 7 p.m., start it up agarnat 8 p.m. and put it
on pausewhile you geta snack,take a break, or when
you want to createyour own intermission.

In this case,the mediais bendingto your timetableand


needs,insteadof forcing you to bend to an artificial
timetablethat is not relatedto, nor cognrzantof, your
personalneeds.

Peopledon't want to build their lives aroundthe medra,


theywantthemediato be responsiveto their desiresat the
very momenttheywant it. And it is alreadyheadedin that
direction.Convergencewill escalateinto new territory.

If it is cheapenoughor freely included in a monthly


servicefee, the public will respond.Google learned
this early,as well as other websites,large and small.
The Internet has proved this time and time again,
and createdmany millionaires simply becausethey
caughtsight of what the peoplewanted,and they met
theseneeds.

All music,all motionpictures,all history,all geography,


all education, all art, all music, all art forms, all
knowledg., will be wantedon that instantbasis.That
is the ultimate goal of the future Internet.

If a teacher is world famous becausestudentsfind


him or her to be one of the best, then why shouldn't
a million people be able to tune in to that inspiring

128
The Future Internet

teacherand repeatthe lessonor speedit up, basedon


their own progress?Why shouldn'tthey learn at their
own speedand still be able to gather in groups and
forums and socializewith others?

This is the most probable desired future, and we are


moving rapidly in that direction.

In the 1980s,I wastold that a patentof a new invention


in Europe would take an averageof five yearsbefore
U.S. researchersbecameawareof it. This was called
the technology gap.Now that five-year gapis almost
instantaneous.

Several thousand years z3o, the prophet Daniel


predictedthat the day would come when

.. .knowledgewould cover the earth as the


wavescoverthe sea.

In 1947and agarnin a reprintededitionin 1960,Philip


Wylie, in his book,An Essayon Morals. stated,

American or Russian, Chinaman, Jup,


Hindu, or Briton - we are all on this same
planetwhich hasbecomeboat-sized(all) of
a sudden.r

In 1962,MarshallMcluhan, in hisbook,TheGutenberg
Galaxy,wrote abouta global electronicvillage where
he envisioneda sharedinformationspace-an invisible

129
Finding Anyone,Anywhere,Anywhen

placewhere spaceand time were no longerbarriersto


acquiringknowledge.2

That time is now, and for better rather than worse,the


personal computer and the Internet may eventually
become the communicativeglue that helps to link
mankind into a fabric of oneness,creating a new
bond of kinship that would include all races,cultures,
sciencesandreligions.
