Family Historian 6 Serial Number: Where to Get It and How to Use It

As you build out your family tree, you'll see small green numbers appearing on your family member entries. Clicking on that number opens up a small web browser window within the software; in my case, the print was rather tiny, so I had to magnify it a few times. When I clicked on a hint, I was prompted to sign up for MyHeritage for $6.25 per month, which is less expensive than the $9.95 per month plan required for RootsMagic. Since I had already signed up for MyHeritage, I simply logged in and was able to view and confirm hints. However, when I did confirm the hints, I couldn't find an obvious way to add any of that data to my Family Historian profile.

I have my grandfathers serial number and a record where he enlisted, but how can I find more about him? i.e., Where was he stationed, last known address, or other family members? After enlisting he became a ghost, my mother was born at the army hospital there but there is no record of that either. She did not know him and has been desperate to learn more! Maybe she has siblings!

My father enlisted in 1956 or 57 under the federal reserve act of 1955. He was given a serial number fr19556887. he was sent to Fort Ord then to Fort Chaffee. He has lost his dd-214 and we have tried everywhere to replace it but none of the sites recognize his serial number. Is this a true serial number ? and where can we go to get his records?

This was extremely helpful, and I do mean extremely. Thank you so much for writing this. Do you have an information as to where I can find serial number information like this for outside of the Us during WW2? Specifically Germany, but any information would be helpful. Thank you.

As for me, I joined the California Natl. Guard in 1956, while in high school, then joined the US Army in Sept. 1956 after graduating from high school. My serial number was RA28xxxxxx (not sure if I am supposed to show it).

Hi Amy, my Native American uncle was apparently in the ArmyDuring WW2. The military has no files on him. His name is Frank F. Iron Shooter, serial number 16015805 and I have no clue what to do next. Thank you.

What do seven digit serial numbers starting with 6 or 7 imply?I am looking at a company roster from 1944 which has at least 4 enlisted men with this style of serial number.The ones I have checked so far in NARA i need to add a zero at the front to make it an eight digit # but i have not spotted any obvious explanation for the shorter #

His name: Billy Grey WaddellDOB: 8/28/30Serial Number: RA 53-065-390He was born in North Carolina, and lived there, but his serial number indicates he registered in Virginia. Confusing.

This example is but one method of coding. I found this system very easy to use. I also found the coding system not only provided a reference number, but it also was informative in providing the chronological position within the family.

On December 17, 1935, the Board approved the 9-digit option (McKinley and Frase 1970, 323). The Board planned to use the year one attained age 65 as part of the SSN, thinking that once an individual attained age 65, the SSN would be reassigned to someone else. But at a meeting on January 23, 1936, the unemployment compensation delegates objected to the use of digits to signify age because they thought a number of workers would falsify their age. As a result, a new scheme adopted by the Board on February 14 consisted of a 3-digit area code, a 2-digit month of birth, and a 4-digit serial number.

From the beginning, the process of assigning SSNs included quality checks. SSA employees had to account for every number and explain any missing serial numbers fully. Also, the SS-5s and the OA-702s were coded separately by different clerks and were later compared as a quality check (Fay and Wasserman 1938, 24).

Keeping track of direct ancestors in a numbering system is reasonably straightforward, so it should not be surprising that the earliest example of such a system can be found more than 400 years ago. Austrian historian Michaël Eytzinger published a genealogical work (Thesaurus Principum Hac Aetate In Europa Viventium) documenting royal European houses in 1590.

Like in the Register system, numbers are assigned by family group in birth order. Those who have descendants are marked with a plus sign in reports to signal that their descendants will appear in the next generation.

As you can see, these two systems produce sequential numbers for descendants. But the numbers, by themselves, do not provide other information such as which generation the person falls into or what birth order each person would have in their own family. However, generation-numbering and birth-order numbering are part of the full stylings of both the Register and NGSQ Systems.

Most scholarly family classification schemes are built up from information on the presence of immediate kin. The basic Census Bureau classifications focus on the presence of spouses and children of the household head/householder; the Laslett scheme widely used by historians is based on a count of "conjugal family units" consisting of parents and children or married couples.2 SPLOC, MOMLOC, and POPLOC make it relatively simple to construct such classifications.

Family historians are increasingly moving from household-level schemes of family classification toward individual-level measures of family structure. For example, instead of measuring the proportion of households headed by a single female parent, we might assess the proportion of women who were single parents or the proportion of children residing with mothers only. Such individual-level analyses offer a variety of advantages that have been detailed elsewhere.3 The individual-level IPUMS pointer variables are especially suited for creating these kinds of measures.

In addition to SPLOC, MOMLOC, and POPLOC, the IPUMS provides a variety of other constructed variables to aid researchers in creating new family variables. These are described in Table 3. Four of the constructed variables apply to entire households. NFAMS counts the number of families present in the household. For this purpose a family is defined as any group of persons with identifiable relationships by blood, marriage, or adoption. A single individual residing without any relatives is considered a separate family. Thus, a household consisting of an elderly widow residing with a servant would count as two families, and a large extended family with multiple generations but no boarders, lodgers, or servants would count as a single family. NCOUPLES (Number of married couples), NMOTHERS (Number of mothers), and NFATHERS (Number of fathers) are based on counts of non-zero values in SPLOC, MOMLOC, and POPLOC, respectively.

The IPUMS also includes the four most commonly requested measures of own children - NCHILD (Number of own children), ELDCH (Age of eldest own child), YNGCH (Age of youngest own child), and NCHLT5 (Number of own children under age 5), derived from MOMLOC, POPLOC, and AGE. Finally, there is NSIBS (Number of own siblings), which counts the number of persons within the household who share a common parent or who have family relationship codes that imply a sibling relationship.

Whenever the family relationship codes are unclear, we must turn to other information to identify parent-child relationships. Every census from 1880 to 2000 and the 2000-onward ACS and PRCS samples contain three additional pieces of information that can be used to clarify ambiguities: age, marital status, and the order in which individuals are listed on the census form.5 For example, if a household contains a widowed daughter followed immediately by a grandchild who is twenty years younger than the daughter, we may reasonably infer a mother-child relationship even if other daughters are present. Each census year also includes other information that can be used to distinguish parental relationships, but the availability of this information is irregular. For example, in the census years 1880, 1910, 1920, 1940, and 1950, we can identify persons who share the same surname (see SURSIM). For 1960, 1970, 1980, and 1990, on the other hand, we can identify the number of children ever born to every adult woman (see CHBORN). Neither SURSIM nor CHBORN are available for the 2000-2010 censuses or the 2000-onward ACS and PRCS samples.

Hello- In researching an old underwood I have pulled out of an old basement full of junk in the Washington DC area I found a very similar underwood. same labeling, open front, but keys with the metal circles around them. it has a 4,564,609 serial number - which is similar to yours and indicates a No. 6 built in 36-37. Mine doesn't have the made in toronto label and I can't find any production label - just a side badge for being property of the department of the Army. In looking at it - not being a typewriter afficianodo - I guessed it was made in the 30's or early 40's. I suspect it was used during WW2 in the Washington war buildup. Perhaps these look like hybrids because they were made for Govt. issue? Anyway, thanks for the posting. OH and after some clean up and oiling this thing types incredibly. My kids are having a ball with it. Love the old school technology!

This is FRESH AIR. I'm Dave Davies in for Terry Gross. As we honor the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King today, we're going to listen to an interview Terry recorded with historian Henry Louis Gates. The new season of his TV series "Finding Your Roots" is now showing on PBS. In the show, notable guests discover their family roots based on genealogical research and DNA results. This kind of research has been especially important for African-Americans whose ancestors had their names and families taken away when they were enslaved. One episode this season explores Gates' own DNA and family history. 2ff7e9595c
