TREASURE CHEST THURSDAY ~ Baptismal record for Abraham Rosett–1728


Today I’m highlighting a record I located on my first trip to the Family History Library, in June 2011.
 
The record was located in The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey, July 1928, page 42.

ROSET_Abraham_birth-baptismal record from 1728_annotated

Transcription: 1728 Aug 11 Roset, David and Tryntje Spyr – Abraham. Wit: Johannes Spry; Sara Wouterse.

Also on this page is the baptismal record of my husband’s 5th great granduncle, Johannes Kip.

I located this publication and photographed several pages.  I was at the library for 5 days and took over 500 photographs of books, publications and other data during that first visit to the FHL.
 
TIP: I prefer to use a camera to capture any data I find.  It’s quick & efficient and allows you to see if there was any error in the image when it was taken.  I take along clothes pins to hold book pages open.  I find this method works better for me, than hand held scanners, copy machines or using phones or tablets.

These types of publications can contain many wonderful references to records.
 
Do we still need to try to find the original record? YES.  But, this certainly points us in the right direction.

  1. Great tip about using clothes pins. Never in a million years would I have thought of that. Thanks, Diane.

    1. Thanks Barbara - it works 90% of the time. I also bring some of those large black clips with me, but don't use those as much because they are more damaging to the books. I stand up, to get the best view for every picture, so it's great exercise.
