Do You Have
Proctor Connections?
Please Read

PROCTOR (Lat. procurator, agent), in a general sense,
one who is commissioned to manage the business of another. In a particular
sense, a proctor is one who is commissioned to transact the business of his
principal in the ecclesiastical or admiralty courts. Hе discharges functions
similar to those of attorneys and solicitors in other courts. In England,
the proctor can be admitted to practice only after a clerkship of seven
years with a senior proctor of at least five years' standing, and he must
produce a certificate of considerable proficiency in classical education.
Before the abolition of the probate and matrimonial courts of doctors'
commons, the proctors were the only persons allowed to practise in them.
(See Doctors' Commons.) Proctors are known in the United States only as
officers of the courts of admiralty, whose duties, authority, and
responsibilities correspond to those of attorneys at law. The name proctor
is also given in England, and in some American colleges, to university
officers whose duty is to guard morals and order.

As social media use has become more mainstream, more and more users have found ways to make their accounts valuable resources for genealogists, either to share information or facilitate discussion. We've gathered our favorite accounts that are fun and informative, and that provide opportunities to connect with experts and other genealogists like you. Social media is constantly changing, but these accounts are a great starting point for making social media a valuable tool for your genealogy research.
Facebook
One of the main benefits of Facebook is the ability to join global forums such as DNA Detectives, national groups such as Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness and state- or region-focused groups. We could dedicate a whole article to Facebook groups for genealogy, so instead, we’ve noted a few of our favorites below and focused the rest of this list on just the Facebook pages we really "Like" (pun intended).
Facebook Groups for Genealogy
AccessGenealogy is a vast directory of free records and resources for US genealogy, especially Native American research. The AccessGenealogy Facebook page is a great way to keep up with the latest free resources and news from the site. Both the AccessGenealogy website and Facebook page are tools that every US researcher should keep in their back pocket!
Based on Elizabeth Shown Mill's classic book Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace (Genealogical Publishing Co.), this page is a great resource for those who "use, cite, and seek to understand historical records." The posts here primarily link to the Evidence Explained website, which hosts an impressive number of forums for citation issues, evidence analysis and more. The Facebook page functions as a sort of highlight reel of what's going on in the forums, and is a great place to dive into the nitty-gritty of record use and citation.
Many people are familiar with the Allen County Public Library for its Periodical Source Index, or PERSI. But the library also sponsors a Facebook page that provides a variety of helpful tidbits and opportunities for genealogists.
Even if you can't make it to one of the Center's many in-person events, you can still participate on Facebook by posting in a "Brick Wall Question of the Week." Or you can watch one of their short, informative videos on everything from finding records to preserving photographs. The admins are responsive and accessible, so this page is also a good place to bring your library research questions.

Ever found yourself asking "So what exactly is a second cousin?" or debating with your family and friends about what it means to be a "first cousin once removed"? Use our cousin chart to settle the debate once and for all!
What Is a Cousin?
Cousins are people who share a common ancestor that is at least 2 generations away, such as a grandparent or great-grandparent. You and your siblings are not cousins because your parents are only 1 generation away from you.
Simple enough, right? But what does it mean to have a second or third or fourth cousin?
|
What Is a Second Cousin?
The number associated with your cousin has to do with how many generations away your common ancestor is. For example:
First cousins share a grandparent (2 generations)
Second cousins share a great-grandparent(3 generations)
Third cousins share a great-great-grandparent (4 generations)
Fourth cousins share a 3rd-great grandparent (5 generations)
Quick Tip: Count how many "greats" are in your common ancestor's title and add 1 to find out what number cousin your relative is. Note that grandparents have no "greats" in their titles, so cousins who share grandparents are first cousins because 0 + 1 = 1. However, keep in mind that this trick only works if you are both the same number of generations removed from the common ancestor.
Sometimes you and your cousin may share a common ancestor, but you each call this ancestor something different. For example, the common ancestor may be your great-grandparent, but your cousin's great-great grandparent.
