Utah Military Records
This entry was originally written by Patricia Lyn Scott, CA and Gary Topping Ph.D. for Red Book: American State, County, and Town Sources.
On 19 July 1846, five hundred volunteers of the Mormon Battalion left Council Bluffs, Iowa, heading southwestward at the request of President James K. Polk. They joined other federal troops at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and proceeded west to Santa Fe and then to San Diego, California, arriving on 29 January 1847. After a year of duty, the battalion left eighty-one officers and enlisted men in San Diego, while the main group walked north to Sutter's Fort, where half of the contingent remained for a while. Eventually, the entire group was reunited with their fellow Mormons at Salt Lake City.
A Mormon unit of 13,000 troops, known as the Nauvoo Legion, a territorial militia that included both Mormon and non-Mormon military aged males, engaged in military activities from its earliest inception to the end of the Black Hawk War in the late 1860s. The original records for 1849'70 are at the Utah State Archives, along with an extensive collection of other state militia, service, and veterans records including various indexes compiled by the archivists. Many are also available on microfilm through the National Archives (see pages 11-12) and the FHL. An online reference guide 'Utah Military Service Records' is at http://archives.utah.gov/referenc/referen.htm.
Volunteers from Utah served during the Civil War, and a unit of 500 engaged in the Spanish-American War in 1898; 21,000 soldiers were supplied during World War I, and many more during World War II. Utah servicemen are included in the 1890 special census of the Union veterans and widows of the Civil War, as are those who served elsewhere, but were living in Utah by 1890. Some regular army troops served on the frontier in Utah and remained after discharge to take advantage of mining or commercial ventures. Printed sources for military history and records include:
- Carter, Kate B. The Mormon Battalion. Salt Lake City: Utah Printing, 1956.
- Long, E. B. The Saints and the Union: Utah Territory in the Civil War. Urbana, Ill.: University of Illinois Press, 1981.
- Powell, Alan Kent, ed. Utah Remembers World War II. Logan, Utah: Utah State University, 1991.
- Prentiss, A. The History of the Utah Volunteers in the Spanish-American War and in the Philippine Islands. Salt Lake City, W.F. Ford, 1900.
- Ricketts, Norma B. The Mormon Battalion: U.S. Army of the West, 1846'1847. Logan: Utah State University, 1996.
- Warrum, Noble. Utah in the World War. Salt Lake City: Arrow Press, 1924.
For veterans of all wars buried under the jurisdiction of the federal burial program since 1861, write to Cemetery Service, National Cemetery System, Veterans Administration, 810 Vermont Ave., Washington, D.C. 20420. Headstone applications taken from 1879 to 1924 were filed by applicant, state, county, and cemetery.

What a year Melbourne, what a year. Passion for the exhilarating, thrilling and sometimes heartbreaking hospitality industry is the lifeblood of this town. This is Epicure and Good Food's inaugural, annual awards list for Melbourne's Best New Places to Eat and Drink 2012, as chosen by an expert panel of our food commentators and critics.
These awards pay tribute to the chefs, waiters and entrepreneurs – innovators all – to the places that are cutting it right now and defining the year of eating and drinking to come.
Check out our winners and runners-up, and please post your nominations and suggestions as well, so that this becomes the very best of the bests for 2012.
Winner, Best new restaurant 2012
A throwback to European glamour, the grand tour and old New York, Neil Perry's third Crown restaurant Rosetta is all gleaming mahogany tiles, marble floors and chandeliers. Expect a grand adventure in Italian, produce-driven cuisine: ricotta, made fresh each lunch, the simple perfection of a seafood grill, nutty farro and scorched green peppers. Rosetta is a brave gamble; high rollers will love it. Rosetta was Larissa Dubecki's highest scoring restaurant of the year at 16/20.
Where: Crown Complex, Southbank. Phone: 8648 1999. rosettaristorante.com

Pei Modern
Runner-up, Best new restaurant 2012
"Have you been to Pei Modern yet?" were the words on everyone's lips this year. Have you? You probably should. Mark Best and Matt Germanchis cemented their industry credentials in 2012 with Pei Modern. Its hallmarks are expert service, a cool Scandi-style dining room, and inventive food, from luxe, rich and creamy almond gazpacho dotted with blue swimmer crab, red grapes and parsley, to steamed hapuku with corn kernels and sea urchin butter sauce. Pei Modern was scored by Larissa Dubecki at 15/20.
Where 45 Collins Street, city. Phone: 9654 8545. peimodern.com.au
Read more about Pei Modern
Casa Ciuccio
Winner, Best on trend 2012
Casa was big news when it opened earlier this year - the second venture by crack team chef Matt McConnell, his wife Jo Gamvros and Simon Benjamin – and we weren't disappointed. Hello, the sheer splendour of massive meaty hunks straight from the charcoal pit, and the joyous variety of the "para picar", small bites inspired by Spain and Portugal. Informal fine-dining at its best – just prop up at the kitchen and watch as the spoils come your way.
Where: 15 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy. Phone: 8488 8150. casaciuccio.com.au
Rockwell and Sons
Runner-up, Best on trend 2012
Burgers, surely ran the biggest race in 2012, emerging as the hero on menus everywhere, be it in mini slider form to bigger juicy US-style offerings using top-notch ingredients and sweet brioche buns, as in at Rockwell and Sons. The double-smash patty is a doosie - some bits charry, some bits rare, the buttermilk fried chicken is tops, as is the soft-shell crab version and pressed rib number with barbecue sauce, dill and fennel.
Where: 288 Smith Street, Collingwood. Phone: 8415 0700. rockwellandsons.com.au
Read more about Rockwell and Sons
Radio Mexico
Winner, best new Under $30
Radio Mexico is a little cracker – fun, homely and with a canny menu based on regional Mexican street food. It hit the ground sprinting when it opened in April, and has been packed ever since with footpath queues and a no-bookings policy. Try sparkling fresh rockling ceviche; or chilaquiles, a smart, fresh take on nachos; or jicama salad, the crisp root vegetable cut into batons and tossed with salt, chilli and lime. Oh, and the tacos: soft and hot corn tortillas wrapped around slow-cooked organic saltbush lamb, Otway pork or black beans and pickled jalapeno.
Where: 11 Carlisle Street, St Kilda. Phone: 9534 9990. radiomexico.com.au
Read more about Radio Mexico
Horn Please
Runner-up, best new Under $30
Jessi and Jennifer Singh don't mind a challenge. Baby number two was born weeks after opening their first Melbourne restaurant Horn Please, a new breed of Indian diner, using top quality, local ingredients in a smart, modern setting. Rock up for fat, crisp-shelled samosas with house-made chutneys, "don't tell my aunty gobi pakoras" (battered cauliflower with a chilli dipping sauce), or slow-cooked goat curry, a hand-me-down recipe and village staple. Sunday night is locals' night with all-you-can-eat curries and rice for a bargain $20. Horn Please is always packed so you may need to wait a bit, or else, head to Kyneton and eat at the Singh's original restaurant, Dhaba at the Mill, or try one of their roving food trucks.
Where: 167 St Georges Road, Fitzroy North. Phone: 9497 8101. hornplease.com.au
Read Nina Rousseau's reveiw of Horn Please
Read Larissa Dubecki's review of Horn Please
Small Victories
Winner, Best new cafe 2012
Best cafe in Melbourne? What a huge call. So what makes Small Victories victorious? Its on-song food is spectacularly good and it goes that extra mile, from the leek and cheddar croquettes at breakfast to the house-made pasta and posh bahn mi at lunch to the char-grilled wagyu and duck fat potatoes at dinner, with nearly everything made in-house. Its run by a dream cast of hospitality high-achievers, including Alric Hansen (ex-Crimean and Bar Lourinha) and Ben Farrant (ex-Gills Diner). And it looks good too.
Where 617 Rathdowne Street, Carlton North. Phone: 9347 4064. smallvictoriesrestaurant.com.au
Read more about Small Victories
Two Birds One Stone
Runner-up, Best new cafe 2012
South Yarra did well this year, scoring the opening of the slick Two Birds One Stone by the cafe brains trust that brought us Three Bags Full, APTE and Liar Liar. There's a lot to like about this faux-industrial place in Elenberg Fraser's Lilli Apartments, including its custom Five Senses blend coffee, its twice-cooked marmalade French toast and Black Angus steak sandwich. Add on professional service and a cool fitout with a treescape mural and you're good to go.
Where 12 Claremont Street, South Yarra. Phone: 9827 1228. twobirdsonestonecafe.com.au
Read more about Two Birds One Stone
Winner, Best new coffee roaster 2012
Paul Mathis has had a big year with umpteen openings in 2012. CoffeeHead was one of them, a roastery-cafe in a vast converted garage, complete with a foosball table and onsite roasters out back in the open kitchen. There are always five different blends in house plus an excellent showcase of beans from some of the best roasters about town, including Atomica, Four Rascal's "Rapscillion" blend and Wide Open Road. If Camberwell's not in your neck of the woods, you can buy online.
Where 8 Railway Parade, Camberwell. Phone: 9831 1400. coffeehead.com.au
Clement Coffee Roasters
Runner-up, Best new coffee roaster 2012
Clement popped up in July, in the tiny electrical substation at South Melbourne Market, a first-time venture for Kris Wood, formerly head barista at South Melbourne's St Ali, and more recently roaster at Proud Mary. Clement is small and cutting-edge with a cute fitout and an uncompromising approach to the purity of "the bean". Excellent brews are made from small batches that Wood roasts offsite.
Where South Melbourne Market, Cecil Street, South Melbourne. Phone: 0410 377 813. clementcoffee.com
The Builders Arms
Winner, Best new pub 2012
It may be a very Gertrude Street Right Now kind of pub with its stark, clean-lined designer fitout (courtesy of Projects of Imagination), fashionably coiffed staff in designer aprons and mostly boutique brews on tap, but the Builders Arms Hotel (a collaboration between Andrew McConnell, Josh Murphy and Anthony Hammond) still gives off a distinctly pubby vibe, albeit with an English skew. There's finer fare to be had in the dining room, Moon Under Water, but the menu in the bar and bistro runs to crowd pleasers like fish pie and pork schnitzel by way of quality oysters and a five-part steak menu. Fashionable, sure, but grounded enough to get away with a bit of poncing about.
Where: 211 Gertrude Street, Fitzroy. Phone: 9417 7700. buildersarmshotel.com.au
Junction Beer Hall & Wine Room
Runner-up: Best new pub 2012
Pushing the boundaries westward, the Junction Beer Hall & Wine Room is a stylish, handsome art deco pub. Down one side is its Wine Room, with an upmarket menu, loungey looks, table service, lengthy wine list and dedicated cocktail list. On the other is the rowdy beer hall, with its immense beer list and beer-friendly food. It's a modernised pub still in touch with its roots.
Where: 15 Hall Street, Newport. Phone: 9391 8188. junctionnewport.com.au
Ben Haines 2009 Syrah
Winner, Best new wine 2012
Senior winemaker at Mitchelton and the Wine Society's Young Winemaker of the Year in 2008, Ben Haines has popped up from a new base in the Yarra Valley. Going solo and obviously having fun, he has produced a '09 syrah, a '10 roussanne and an '11 marsanne under his Ben Haines Wine Co label, exciting many and creating a real buzz about his future. The 2009 syrah ($58) was so good, you could forgive him the use of the French moniker "syrah" instead of its good ol' Aussie appellation, 'shiraz.' benhaineswine.com
Levantine Hill Estate 2012 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
Runner-up, Best new wine 2012
For a wine industry feeling the financial strain, the arrival of the Yarra Valley's multi-million dollar Levantine Hill Estate this year was to be welcomed. Here was a well-known Melbourne businessman investing in a grand wine design that included a not-your-average B&B at $5000 a night and an as-yet-to-come winery and boutique hotel promising some extraordinary architectural features. But what about the wines? The sav/sem was quietly addictive, a departure in style for the Valley but a winning one channelling a lean Bordeaux dry white. The sem promotes a clean, hay-mealy character that carries the mid-palate and gives some subtle sauvignon blanc herbals something to work with. The oak works particularly well providing texture. It's a smart wine. levantinehill.com.au
Winner, Best new bar 2012
Simon Denton and his Izakaya Den partners Takashi Omi and Miyuki Nakahara have transformed what was once the upstairs dining room at Denton's restaurant Verge into a beautiful Tokyo-style bar complete with sculptural lighting, top grade sake and umeshu, superb Japanese influenced snacks (the lobster temaki roll, every time), unique cocktails and tranquil, leafy views of the Fitzroy Gardens through retractable glass walls. Service is lovely, emulating fine dining, and adds to the wonderful, slightly cinematic feeling of being transported somewhere else.
Where: First Floor, 1 Flinders Lane, City. Phone: 9654 5465. hihou.com.au
Hannah's Bar at Epocha
Runner-up, Best new bar 2012
Laid-back and Euro-inspired, Hannah's is upstairs at Epocha – the sharp restaurant run by former Press Club manager and sommelier Angie Giannakodakis and Guy Holder – right opposite Carlton Gardens. Try and claim a seat on its balcony, complete with fancy iron lacework, or sit inside at custom-built tables that double as backgammon boards. Cocktails are well made and classic, and there are good snacks to be had here, too, including spiced chickpeas, crisp pigs' ears and excellent duck liver pate.
Where: 49 Rathdowne Street, Carlton. Phone: 9036 4949. epocha.com.au
Mr Burger
Winner, Best new food truck 2012
Inspired by the food truck culture during a trip to the States – Austin, Texas has around 4000 food trucks – Daragh Kan and Myles Munro decided to set up a burger fleet of their very own. One truck is based at Thierry Street near Queen Vic Market and trades on market days; other trucks rove around the inner suburbs."They rustle up two kinds of burger: the classic Mr Burger", a juicy beef patty with salad and mustard; and the richer "Mr Meat" with bacon, caramelised onions and barbecue sauce. mrburger.com.auTwitter, Facebook and Instagram: @mrburgertruck
Gidget's Beach Cantina
Runner-up, Best new food truck 2012
Southsiders, check out Gidget's groovy 60s-themed, cheery and colourful caravan, run by fun-lovin' gal Serena Cabello. She dispenses tacos filled with interesting ingredients, such as "corn truffle", also known as "corn smut", a truffle-like delicacy, and smokey, spice-rubbed beef. For pure passion and interest, Gidget's has it in spades.
Gidget's Beach Cantina: Twitter @GidgetsCantina
Winner, Best new global gem 2012
Based on the idea of Malaysian roadside "mamaks", this Sydney player has exploded onto the Melbourne scene with an instantly loyal following and a near-constant queue. Expect made-to-order roti hot off the grill, perfect to dunk in a fishy gravy or lentil curry, plus fiery house-made sambals, satays, curries and hot pulled teh tarik (sweet tea made from condensed milk). Wear comfy shoes: there will be queuing.
Where: 366 Lonsdale Street, city. Phone: 9670 3137. mamak.com.au

Runner-up, Best new global gem 2012
Cute yet sophisticated Bayte is the new Lebanese sweetheart run by owner-chef Julie Touma. Lebanese brekkies include warm pearl barley porridge and Bayte's banquet, for a minimum of six, is an outright bargain: garlicky broad bean dip with char-striped fluffy flatbread, zaatar pizza, fried lamb and pine nut pastries, barbecued lamb kofta skewers with house-made labna and a whole baked snapper slathered in a tahini-based sauce – big flavours, bold spicing and lots of heart.

The earliest interracial kiss in a comic from a major publisher that I've found was in 1943, when Blackhawk kissed a Chinese woman:
It's not quite what it looks like, though—the woman gets her dying wish, a kiss from Blackhawk.
Though they never kiss, there's a strong hint of interracial romance in a 1952 comic book of King Solomon's Mines. On the cover, a white man and a black man appear to be fighting for the love of a black woman.
Sure, she's paler than the black guy, but she's still black in a time when interracial marriage was illegal in many states. As Gallup notes, only 4% of Americans approved of marriage between blacks and whites then, while 77% approved by 2007:
DC Comics missed a chance for a semi-interracial kiss in 1970 when Lois Lane became black for a day:
DC Comics missed a chance for a semi-interracial kiss in 1970 when Lois Lane became black for a day:
To give them a tiny bit of credit, they did have her ask if he could love her if she was black:
He responded with a variant of the standard superhero cop-out line of the time: "my enemies, blah blah, deadly danger, blah, blah..." (There's a copy of the full story here, but I only recommend it to folks obsessed with comics, race, and romance.)
The first straight-up romantic kiss in comics didn't come until 1975, in a Killraven story in Marvel's Amazing Adventure #31:
But the first interracial kiss involving superheroes came in 1977, when Iron Fist and Misty Knight finally snogged.

And yet Newtonian Physics offers an imperfect understanding of physics; it's a sort of "beginner's physics" or maybe you could see it as a view of physics through a particular lens. I'm using physics here as a metaphor for the Buddha's dhamma: perhaps he was offering descriptions of the heaven/hell realms as an entry point to what would become a more sophisticated understanding as the follower learned more.mettafuture wrote:No.nowheat wrote:mettafuture wrote: I've tried to believe in an afterlife for the sake of Buddhism. I wanted the philosophy to fit well without stress, worry, or doubt. But I can't make myself believe in something that even M-Theorists would reject.
If an M-Theorist came to my son's school and started an introductory course by teaching Newtonian Physics, would she be lying to the kids in my son's class?
I tend to think of the things the Buddha talked about that I have no direct experience with as koans that I should see as trying to point me in a direction that cannot be directly described; if I apply my logical view-making mind to these things it's going to be more of a hindrance than a help.
Also, it may be useful to recognize that the Buddha spoke in one language, and everything we have written in our canon is in another language: certainly things will have been "lost in translation" or changed in translation, as those doing the handing on supplied words that they felt more accurately described what their understanding of the teaching was, lifetimes after the death of the Buddha.

One reason to worry about the deal Gov. Brown and legislative Republicans are discussing is the possiblity of a spending limit.
Spending limits have their virtues in general, but California already has so many rules on spending and taxes that it's impossible to design a limit and have any confidence you know its true effect.
Even with that uncertainty, there's one problem that's likely to be produced by a limit: the Pac-Man problem.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The spending limits typically discussed in California limit the growth of spending to population and some measures of inflation.
Fair enough.
But the trouble is that other parts of the budget also are governed by formulas. That's especially true of education spending, which grows under a formulas based on measures of personal income.
As Jean Ross of the California Budget Project points out in this smart post, personal income tends to grow much faster than the Consumer Price Index -- the main index of inflation.
Which means that education funding is likely to grow faster than the overall spending limit. What does that mean?
Education funding will eat up -- just like Pac-Man -- other parts of the budget.
Schools aren't the only potential Pac-Man. Health care costs go up faster than inflation, so they can serve as another budgetary Pac-Man.
What exactly will Pac-Man eat?
Maybe something you care about, like public safety programs or higher education. That's the trouble with spending limits in a system like California. No one knows how they'll work.

The Chicago Fire kept their faint playoff hopes alive Wednesday night, crushing the sixth-place San Jose Earthquakes 3-0 at Buck Shaw Stadium.
The win, which was the Fire's first in seven games, was the best performance by the Fire in recent memory.
Chicago kept the ball well, finished their chances, and defended stoutly throughout, deservedly taking all three points.
"It was important for us," Fire forward Freddie Ljungberg told MLSsoccer.com after the match. "We played really well today. … We won as a team and that's the main thing."
It was Ljungberg who guided the Fire to victory. The Swedish Designated Player, who lined up as a supporting striker, played a huge role in all three Chicago tallies, notching two assists and a goal in what was easily his best statistical performance since he joined the Fire in late July.
WATCH: Full match highlights
"I felt great," Ljungberg said. "My teammates played really well; they made me look good, so I thank them. And of course I'm quite happy with my performance."
Despite the lopsided final score, the match wasn't always in the Fire's control. In fact, it was San Jose who came out of the gate in charge. The Earthquakes had the better of the play for much of the first half, controlling possession and registering the better chances throughout the opening frame.
But San Jose – normally so adept in the final 15 minutes of each half – fell asleep at the end of the first 45. Forward Chris Wondolowski lost track of Chicago defender Steven Kinney on a 39th minute corner kick, and the rookie defender made the hot striker pay, flicking Ljungberg's wonderfully delivered ball inside the back post from the top of the six-yard box. The goal was the Fire's first in 401 minutes.
Kinney's goal seemed to give Chicago a boost. The Fire began attacking confidently, knocking the ball around the pitch beautifully and getting forward more frequently after taking the lead.
"We haven't had the results that we really wanted recently and that can make you a bit nervous, especially when you have young players in the team like we do," Ljungberg said. "But I think scoring the goal settled a lot of nerves and all of a sudden we started playing some great football. We got in the game and I think Steve's goal had a lot to do with it."
The Fire continued their high energy play in the second half, eventually doubling their advantage when Ljungberg scored a fantastic goal – his first in a Fire uniform – in the 72nd minute.
Substitute winger Patrick Nyarko fed a streaking Ljungberg just outside San Jose's 18-yard box. The World Cup vet took a sublime first touch, splitting two Earthquake defenders to get into the left side of the box. Former Fire keeper Jon Busch came out to cut off Ljungberg's angle, but that made no difference as the crafty Swede delicately chipped his shot over Busch and into the back of the net from 8 yards.
Ljungberg's goal sealed the victory for the Fire, who looked good in the back all game. Kinney, Dasan Robinson, Kwame Watson-Siriboe and Krzysztof Krol played all 90 minutes on the back line and each performed well. Rookie center back Watson-Siriboe was the standout, shutting down the opposition's forwards for the second consecutive game.
Nyarko added a third goal in second half stoppage time. The Fire immediately head to Dallas, where they'll take on FCD at Pizza Hut Park on Saturday night. They'll need another win to keep their hazy playoff chances alive.
"It's about pride," Ljungberg said. "I hope that Chicago fans will appreciate that we fought really hard. We're going to keep on doing that and we'll see where it goes."

First comes Love: Wedding celebrant aptly named
With her last name, it seems only fitting that Frankee Love would work in the wedding biz. And she's not the first in her amorously monikered clan: her family ran a jewelry and crystal business in the Tidewater community of Kenbridge when she was growing up.
Love, however, has forsaken selling rings and is creating a name for herself as one of the busiest non-denominational wedding celebrants in the state.
She performed 140 weddings in Virginia in 2005 and recently left her full-time job as director of public relations at Wintergreen Resort to focus on tying even more knots this year.
"I have always loved weddings," says Love, 56. "And once I started doing it, I realized I'm very well suited to it."
Sometimes known as a justice of the peace, a marriage celebrant is a person authorized by the state to perform civil (as opposed to religious) weddings.
But to those who imagine that civil ceremonies are for those who want (or need) to get married in a hurry, Love, who sports a "SAY I DO" license plate, says that's not the case.
"A civil wedding does not have to be dry and uninspiring," she says.
In fact, one of Love's specialties is "adventure weddings," where couples take their vows during daredevil stunts like rock climbing or rafting on class-five rapids.
For such events, Love has several suggestions. To brides, she says, "Carry your bouquet in a backpack so your hands are free to grasp the rocks." And she cautions couples to exchange rings on dry land.
"You don't want to run the risk of losing the rings in a rapid or in the snow," she warns.
But Love's expertise extends beyond white water rafting.
"John and I are from different cultures, and Frankee helped us write our own spiritual ceremony," says October bride Olga Morgan. "Her peaceful style helped us most of all."
On January 21, Love made her five-year-old Blue Ridge Weddings business her full-time job. With her extra time, Love– who lives at Wintergreen and owns a home in Nelson County– plans to develop the Las Vegas concept of broadcasting weddings live on the Internet.
"When I saw it at my nephew's wedding, I thought, 'You can take that same concept and put it in Virginia style,'" she says. "Wow!"
Though she's pushing new technological frontiers, Love says she may stick with something old when it comes to marketing.
"My dad used to say, 'When in love... see Love,'" she recalls of his ads. "That was so embarrassing to me at the time, but now I think he was pretty clever."

Once a Christian region, Azerbaijan is now 96% Muslim. The government gives preferential treatment to those religions considered "traditional" (Islam, Russian Orthodox Christianity and Judaism), while other forms of Christianity are actively restricted.
The authorities in this post-Soviet state regard religious groups with suspicion, and since independence in 1991 restrictions on Christians have been repeatedly tightened. The country's Religion Law, first adopted in 1992, has been amended 13 times.
Christian groups that established a presence in the country only after 1991 and those operating without official registration are particularly vulnerable. Their church services are monitored and raided; Christian literature is confiscated; and their members are harassed and imprisoned.
All churches must register with the government, but registering can be a lengthy and confusing process, and applications may be denied or left in limbo. In January 2013, Greater Grace Church in Baku lost its final appeal against a court decision that the church be liquidated for failing to re-register with the government. All religious groups have been required to re-register five times since 1992, providing the government with leverage against those it deems undesirable. Unregistered churches cannot open a bank account or rent property.
Christian literature is heavily controlled and may be subject to censorship or a burdensome approval process. Those caught producing or distributing unapproved literature may be fined up to nine years of the minimum wage or imprisoned for up to five years.
In April 2013, Pastors Zaur Balaev and Hinayat Shabanova successfully appealed against convictions for unregistered religious activity, and the heavy fines they had been given were overturned. But this favourable decision took place against a general backdrop of continuing repression.
An increasing number of Azerbaijanis are nevertheless finding Christ. Many of the new Christians are converts from Islam and can meet with hostility from family, community and authorities. The Christian minority may face discrimination from their neighbours; for example, it may be very difficult for them to find and keep a job.

Getting Started
Step One ~ Talk To Your Relatives
Before you can start constructing your tree, you need to find the branches and twigs to populate it.
This guide will give you advice on how to go about it and where to find the information, together with hints and tips on deciding whether they are "yours", using our internal pages and external links.
The first thing to do when you're starting out is to write down everything you know about your family – names, dates and places of birth, marriages & deaths etc.
Ask your relatives for help, especially the older generation, they're usually a mine of information and stories. Perhaps take a tape recorder along with you to record what they say.
Collect together as many old photos, certificates and other family documents you can find. Try to find out the identities of the people in these photos.
Once you've collected all of this information and drawn up a simple tree linking them all together, you're now ready to trace your family back further.

Step Two ~ Going Back Before 1900
You may be lucky enough to have enough information to take you back to 1901 and beyond. The 1911 census is the latest one which is available to family researchers in its entirety. You can search the census from the comfort of your computer chair through subscription websites such as
There are also other sites which you can find on the
FTF Guide:
Online Research
Once you have found your known relative, look to see who's living in the same household – brothers, sisters, parents or even grandparents. Census returns including names, ages and places of birth were taken every 10 years from 1841, so online you have access to 70 years worth of census records. By tracing your family back through the census returns it is possible to take your family back to ancestors born in the 1700's.

To confirm these connections you will need to obtain your ancestor's birth, marriage and death certificates. These can be obtained online from the General Record Office (GRO) (the General Register Office of Scotland (GROS) in Scotland) or through the local register office where the event was registered. It should cost you around £9.25 per certificate, which can work out quite expensive.
However it is essential that you confirm connections this way, otherwise you can end up tracing the wrong ancestors.
If you weren't able to trace your family back to the time of the 1911 census, then you can do this through certificates.
Birth, marriage & death certificates in England and Wales are available from 1st July 1837 (and from 1855 in Scotland) when civil registration was first introduced.
These pages will help you find out all about certificates and how to go about obtaining them:
FTF Guide:
Step Four ~ Before Civil Registration
Parish Registers began in 1538 when Thomas Cromwell, Vicar-General to King Henry VIII, instructed parish clergy to keep registers of baptisms, marriages and burials.
Before this date there were no records, except for a few created by monks who recorded these events for prominent families. Only some of these very early records from 1538 survive today, some parishes even chose not to record these events at first, so coverage will vary from parish to parish.
The registers were kept in the iron bound parish chest with other parish records, with yearly copies sent to the local bishop (Bishops' Transcripts).
In England and Wales you will find Parish Registers, together with the Bishops' Transcripts, in the relevant county or city record office (CRO).
FTF Guide:
Parish Registers
You may be able to look at the original registers for later dates, however it is most unlikely that you will for the earlier ones. Most have been microfilmed and transcribed which you can view at the record office. You may also find transcribed registers in a local library.
FTF Guide:
Records Office Guide
You can do research online however this should only be used as a guide as it is always preferable to refer to the actual parish registers for accuracy reasons.
Sites such as:
Find My Past
Family Relatives
hold details of parish registers. You will find other records on these sites such as the Boyd's Marriage Index and the Pallot Marriage and Baptism Index.
FTF Guide:
Online Research
The Church of the Latter Day Saints (LDS) otherwise known as the Mormons, have gathered a vast amount of information which is of interest to family historians. You can view the International Genealogical Index (IGI) on their website, although this is renowned for its inaccuracies. You can look at microfilmed parish registers at one of their Family Record centres.
FTF Guide:
IGI Batch Numbers
For more information on the LDS go to
A Guide to the LDS
You can buy some parish registers on microfiche or CD Rom. These are sold by family history societies and by companies online such as
Parish Chest
The Parish Register Transcription Society
Anguline Research Archives
Step Five ~ Finding Those Names
Even in Victorian times many people could not read or write and therefore did not know how their name was spelled. Together with regional accents the vicar or registrar had no alternative but to record the name which they had heard spoken. If you are having difficulty finding a given surname, then think of an alternative spelling or how it would sound spoken in a local accent.
The online census returns are an excellent resource for family researchers. However to enable them to be searchable they have to be what's called transcribed. Each sheet of the original handwritten return is recorded onto a computer database by a transcriber and therefore it's quite understandable that mistakes can be made.
For tips on how to search the census returns go to the
FTF Guide:
The Census
You can imagine what a mammoth task it must have been compiling all of this information on census night. Very often you will find christian names abbreviated, for example Jas for James or Fredk for Frederick.
To find more christian name abbreviations go to
Common Forename Abbreviations
Today we name our children according to our own personal choice. Our ancestors may have followed naming traditions.
To find out more go to
Naming Patterns
You must also bear in mind that your ancestors may not be using the name which they were registered with. If they had a first and a second christian name, then they may have been known as their second name. Also they may be recorded under a nickname such as Jack for John or James, or Nancy for Anne, Ann or Hannah.
For more information about christian names and surnames go to
Finding those names
If you are looking at very old registers written in Latin, you will find
Latin names in Catholic Records
Step Six ~ Storing Your New Found Information
As soon as you start researching your family you will begin to amass a large amount of information and notes, certificates and other family documents, together with prints of census images, civil registration and parish register entries, and other information which you have found.
It's a good idea fairly early on to decide how you are going to organise and store it all, otherwise you can quite easily end up with an unmanageable paper mountain.
Many researchers store all of their paperwork in ring binders, using a different one for each family. This can then be divided up into separate sections for the different types of information you have gathered. You may decide to store items in plastic wallets within the binder, however make sure that these are acid free otherwise they will damage items over time. You can buy special certificate binders with acid free sleeves online from companies such as:
S&N Genealogy Supplies
My History
By using a software package your information is held in a manageable and easy to access format. At the click of your computer mouse you can view all of the details you hold on a given person in your tree and clearly see their relationships within it. Many packages have excellent graphics enabling you to create professional looking family tree diagrams.
FTF Guide:
Software and Publishing
There are numerous family tree software packages available to buy at varying prices. Some are even available as a free download:
You may wish to scan your family photos, these images can then be held in a file on your computer. Some software packages allow you to link these photographs to individuals in your tree.
All of the information which you have input into your family tree software is stored as a file on your hard drive of your computer. This file can then be uploaded and stored online on sites such as:
Tribal Pages
Unfortunately if your hard drive was to fail, as they eventually do, all of your information held in its files will be lost. It is therefore advisable to regularly back up to disc and keep this in a safe place.
Most family researchers use a combination of both computer and paper based storage. Whatever system you decide to use is entirely up to you, however make sure that it's both safe and secure otherwise all of your hard work will be lost.
How to Store it All
Step Seven ~ Sorting Out Those Relationships ...
As you research your family you will not only find your direct line ancestors, but also their brothers and sisters as well. The siblings of your grandparents are your great aunts and uncles, and of your great grandparents your great great aunts and uncles, and so on.
You may wish to research these branches of your family to discover their descendants who are your cousins. Those who share your grandparents are your first cousins and those who share the same great grandparents as you are your second cousins, and again this continues. The children of your first cousins are your first cousins once removed. Their grandchildren will be your first cousin twice removed and so on. The same will apply to your second, third etc. cousins.
Most family tree software packages will work out these relationships for you. To read more, go to
Degrees of Kinship
A list of
Forbidden Marriages
was drawn up by the Church in 1560 and these rules applied right up until the 20th century when various Acts of Parliament provided more flexibility.
As you start to research the branches of your family you will no doubt find cousins marrying, which was acceptable. This was particularly common in close knit communities. You may also find incidences of marriages on the forbidden list. These may not have been blood relationships such as brother and sister, but say of a man and his wife's niece. It was common for them to go to another county to marry and return as man and wife to the same community, with nothing more said. It does appear that the church chose to turn a blind eye in these incidences.
When you discover these multiple connections within your tree you'll be glad that you invested in a family tree software package to make sense of it all!
Step Eight ~ Taking Your Research Further
What you have discovered so far are the bare facts about your ancestors, so if you would like to understand more about their lives then you will need to take your research further.
Firstly, you now know where your ancestors were born and where they lived. Perhaps they originated abroad, emigrated or spent some time in their lives living overseas.
World Index
UK County Index
have links to many websites both in the UK and abroad which will assist in your research.
You may also be able to identify where they lived from the websites listed on
. Maps and photographs relating to specific areas and locations can be found on the relevant county or national pages.
You also know what your ancestor's occupation was. Occupations and other terms you may come across in your research, together with their meanings, are listed on the
FTF Big Book of Genealogy
General History Section
has lots of links to many websites relating to specific occupations, together with other topics which you may come across in your research, such as finding ancestors who fought in the two World Wars.
Our ancestors (like us) were shaped by the world they lived in and the sudden movement of a family, for example, from their birthplace to another part of the country could be explained by what was happening in the wider world.
The Timeline
will help you to put the personal life of your ancestors in context with the social and political situation of the time.
To get some idea of how your ancestors lived you could visit many museums and other sites. Some recommendations and ideas for places to visit can be found on
See How Your Ancestors Lived
The page
Family History Books
has recommendations of books which you may find interesting in putting your ancestors into historical context.
The FTF
Costume Gallery
Costume Past and Present
will give you some idea of the fashions of their time.
If you discover a sailor, airman or soldier in your tree, you will find our
FTF Guide:
Military and Maritime History
very handy.
As you uncover your family's history you may well discover cases of
Divorce and Annulments
. These sections of our Reference Library can assist you further in your research.
It does need to be remembered that Genealogy is not a purely computer based hobby.
So much more information is held in record offices and other archives, such as in The National Archives of the United Kingdom in Kew in London. You can find out what's held there on their website,
The National Archives
. Some of the information held at other archives is available on
A2A - Access to Archives
Records Office Guide
has links to a variety of other sources of records:

Lastly, don't forget to use your search engine e.g.
. Search under your ancestor's names and where they lived. You'll never know what you may find.
Step Nine ~ Contacting Other Researchers
Genealogy is an increasingly popular hobby thanks mainly to the numerous television programmes on the subject. It is possible that other people are researching the same ancestors as you, so it's a good idea to make contact with them to share information, certificates and even photographs. You will be amazed to see how much family resemblance you can see in a photograph of a distant relative. Perhaps your new found contact may be able to name the unidentified people in your photographs.
Surname Directory
lists the surnames and their localities, which members of this site are researching.
You can also upload a GEDCOM of your family tree to this site's
GEDCOM Database
and search to see if other members are researching the same individuals as you.
Other sites you can use for making contacts are
Genes Reunited
Lost Cousins
Curious Fox
Genealogists' Forum
One word of advice though. Don't take the information received from others at face value. You do not know how thorough they have been in their research. Therefore it is advisable to confirm this information yourself before you put it all onto your tree.
Social media
As well as using the forums for making contact with potential relatives, there are more and more blogs, Facebook pages and Twitter feeds coming online all the time which can give you ideas of other places to look for information.
Popular Social Networks for Genealogy

Step Ten ~ Asking For Help
Everybody researching their family gets stuck at some point, it's commonly known as a brick wall.
If this happens to you, then just post a thread up onto the
Research Board
on this site and there should be a helpful member around willing to offer their assistance.
If you have a photograph which you require dating or advice on, then you can post this in a thread on the
Family Tree Photos
board on this site.
Your tree is looking good now, perhaps it's time to revisit your relatives to jog some memories and hopefully get some more information and put some more names to faces in those old photos.

Most people who work in the landscape or gardening industry know about Drip Irrigation and Micro Irrigation. It's been used in some agricultural areas for over 40 years and is increasingly being used by larger and larger farms and groves for everything from grapes to oranges. This has proven to be a vast improvement on the goals of saving water and wise use of water by the industries that depend on it to survive.
In recent years, large landscape companies have also adopted Micro and Drip Irrigation as a way to water a variety of landscapes, keeping the plants well-nourished and saving 50% or more on water usage. Everywhere you look you can see it, little black stakes in the ground with Micro Sprays hidden behind bushes, Drip Irrigation tubing stretching through landscaped flower beds. With ever-increasing awareness of conservation of water, and the importance of being wise with resources, this trend will continue to improve as time goes on.
All of these things are incredible on their own, but they are just the beginning. Where Drip Irrigation is heading now is into the garden and landscape of the average homeowner. Most homeowners shy away from trying to mess with installing irrigation, for fear that it is too complicated or that they will not do it right and create a disaster that will kill all of their plants. But with droughts at a record high, and the desire of many to establish home gardens, that mentality is quickly changing.
The benefits of using Drip Irrigation and Micro Irrigation are tremendous. It's not just about not wasting water. The plants get what they need rather than too much water, which can lead to fungus growth and premature rot in the root systems. Also, many areas in the country that are under drought conditions will allow home owners to use low-flow irrigation products in their landscapes and gardens, rather than sprinklers.
Right now, homeowners across the country are realizing the need to use water wisely and are looking to install their own Micro and Drip Irrigation systems . We applaud that - and encourage others to do the same. A difference can be made, one garden and landscape at a time!

The one-time presidential candidate returned to practicing law last year
Disgraced former U.S. Senator John Edwards won a $13 million settlement on Thursday for a 4-year-old boy who suffered brain damage, in his first trial since returning to the practice of law last year.
"I was happy to be back in the courtroom," a beaming Edwards told WNCT as he left the courthouse in Greenville, North Carolina.
"We fought like crazy for this kid. That's what this case was all about," Edwards said of Kaiden Gaymon, whose family claimed the boy was physically injured and suffered brain damage while being treated at Pitt County Memorial Hospital in 2009 for a respiratory virus.
The last time Edwards, 60, was in court was for his own trial on charges he used $1 million from two wealthy donors to hide his pregnant mistress videographer Rielle Hunter while running for president in 2008. A jury found him not guilty on one count of violating campaign finance laws and a mistrial was declared on the remaining five charges.
Since then the disgraced former presidential candidate has been laying low, caring for his two younger children, Jack, 13, and Emma Claire, 16, whose mom was his late wife, Elizabeth, and spending time with his daughter with Hunter, Quinn, 6.
RELATED: Cate Edwards Remembers Mom Elizabeth
Last November, Edwards announced he was opening up a law firm with his old partner, David Kirby, and his eldest daughter, Cate.
At the time, Cate, 32, a graduate of Harvard Law School, told The News & Observer of her dad, "It has always been a dream of mine to work with him. I know my dad really well, we've been through a lot together, and I know in his heart he really, truly cares about his clients and he really, truly cares about the practice of law."

September's "Team Update" brought another mention of Team Fortress 2's macho product supplier Mann Co., and some folks took the hint and wrote the company's address again. Lo and behold, here's more form-letter hilarity. And - classic comic book covers!
Kotaku reader Wayne T. received a form letter, two 1960s/70s era comic covers ("Saxton Hale's Jungle Brawl" and "Saxton Hale's Barbershop Action") and the most badass piece of mail the United States Postal Service ever sorted.
"I guess I'll forgive them for not having my spy crab kit in stock," Wayne told us. "P.S. - The woman probably wasn't impressed because I didn't send enough money. I'll fix that next time ..."

A stand-off between the Indian government and an 81-year-old archery administrator is threatening to pierce the country's hopes of a swift return to the ranks of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The Indian Olympic Association's (IOA) membership of the IOC was suspended in December after Lalit Bhanot, who is facing corruption charges over the scandal-tainted 2010 Commonwealth Games, was elected its secretary general.
The Indian government and sports officials have been invited to two days of talks from tomorrow at the IOC's Swiss headquarters, with all sides apparently keen to bring India back into the fold.
However, now Vijay Kumar Malhotra, who became the Indian association's acting president as a result of the crisis, is trying to scupper the get-together in Lausanne in a battle against new legislation that would force him to retire.
The Indian Ministry of Sports is putting finishing touches to a long-delayed bill that would make it mandatory for sports officials to retire at 70, as well as limit their tenures in office to 12 years.
Malhotra, who has headed the country's archery association since 1973, is arguing that such a move amounts to political interference by the governing Congress party and has asked for the meeting to be cancelled.
"We are rather constrained to say that the sports ministry is bent on destroying the autonomy of the IOA and the national sports federations," Malhotra wrote in an open letter to IOC president Jacques Rogge.
Malhotra, a former lawmaker for the main opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), added that the planned legislation constituted a "total breach of the Olympic Charter," which prohibits government interference.
The government has been infuriated by Malhotra's tactics, while sports stars have also lashed out at him, worried about the impact on funding and their chances of competing at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
Suspension of the IOC membership means India does not receive funding from the world body, its officials are banned from attending Olympic events and its athletes are barred from competing in the Olympics under the national flag.
"I am deeply shocked and upset by the contents of the letter," Indian Minister of Sports Jitendra Singh said.
"As far as the sports bill is concerned, the priority of the government is to get the bill passed in parliament and make it a law. If the IOA is not interested in fixing a date with the IOC, I will personally go to Lausanne and speak to them. India has to get back into the Olympic fold," he said.
The government says it has been forced to act to ensure that administrators such as Malhotra cannot treat their sports as their personal fiefdom and cling to power way past India's normal retirement age of 60.
The government has found itself at loggerheads with a growing number of sports bodies recently, including the country's amateur boxing federation, in a dispute over the election of its chairman.
Following a series of scandals, sympathy for the sports administrators and their efforts to fight the government's new code is in short supply.
India's Olympics movement has struggled to escape the taint left by the 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, which was meant to be a showcase for the Indian capital, but instead turned into a national embarrassment.
Corruption cases against Bhanot and former Commonwealth Games local organizing committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi are still working their way through the courts.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #421
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r.
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfil thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to thy cross I cling;
Naked, come to thee for dress,
Helpless, look to thee for grace;
Foul, I to the Fountain fly;
Wash me, Saviour, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in thee.

Producer-director Randall Zisk and actress Brooke Langton have listed their home in the Longridge Estates area of Sherman Oaks for $2,749,000.
Sitting on nearly 1.3 fenced acres with a swimming pool, the compound includes a main house with three bedrooms and three bathrooms, and two guesthouses for a total of 4,474 square feet of living space.
Built in 1941, the traditional-style main house has a formal entry, a living room with a fireplace and a bay window, a formal dining room with wainscoting, Hollywood Regency interiors by Sarah Buxton Design and brick courtyards and terraces. The Art Deco den features a wet bar, curved walls, ship-lap paneling and a fireplace.
Zisk is an executive producer and director for "Monk," whose final episode aired in December after an eight-season run. He was a producer for "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" (1994-96).
Langton has had recurring roles on "Life" (2007-08), "Friday Night Lights" (2007-08) and "Melrose Place" (1996-98). She starred in the films "The Replacements" (2000) and "Playing Mona Lisa" (2000).
Zisk and Langton purchased the property in 2008 for $2.6 million, according to public records.
Rick D. Chimienti of Prudential California Realty, Beverly Hills, is the listing agent.

Jean-Charles Millepied grew up in a family of musicians. We love comparing his canvas to scores: we identify recurrent symbols — very similar to notes — and repetitive colors movement — like a spellbinding tempo. And a spontaneous gesture like a rhythmic improvisation!
