When we tracked my husband’s original immigrant forebear to this country, we found a document similar to the one you posted at the top–with the exception that his “x” was distinctly a cross, not an x. This made sense, as he haled from Ireland, where the cross held a great deal of significance.

Thank you for your message. I’m glad you are finding the advice on organizing documents helpful. I struggled for many years to stay organized but it wasn’t until I discovered this system that I realized how easy it could be! Good luck with your project and let us know how it turns out.

Archivists group records together and place them in a hierarchy: fond, series, file, item. The fond is the entire collection of the records originating from the same creator, which may be sub-divided into the smaller categories. Keeping the original order to preserve the context in which records were created and used is a fundamental archiva principle, sometimes refered to as ‘respecte des fonds’.

Would you please tell me about the word “fond” in your comment. I get a meaning from context, but I’ve never heard of the word used in that way. I went to your link and read that post but it didn’t sink into my brain. What is the origin and what exactly do you mean here? Thanks!

I could probably create a blog just about black sheep. I think criminals like Frank are so interesting to research because they leave a paper trail behind. If it hadn’t been for the Washington newspapers covering his various crimes I never would have found him! Now I would like to find out what became of the five people he busted out of prison.

I have always wondered what type of foods did my ancestors eat. I think that they were not even close to what we eat. Great Blog.

Take care,
