The Basics on How to Search for Ancestors in the United States
While there is no set way to do research in the United States, this guide gives basic research steps and an explanation of the records.
The following list of suggested records is given in an order likely to help many people.
What you are looking for
An understanding of the research process and how to use the suggested list of records to search.
United States Previous Research, Part 1
Previous research is the work other people have done. By searching what others have already done, you may save hours. However, previous research is only as good as the skills of the person doing the research. Therefore, you should double check the information in previous research.
What you are looking for
Information about your ancestors compiled by other people.
Why go to the next record
Any of the following records may:
- Have the information you are looking for.
- Add information to what you have found.
- Clear up differences found in previous searches.
If you find new information, you may want to again look at the records you searched before.
Population schedules give a "snapshot" of your ancestor's family on the census day and indicate where they were living.
Census Population Schedule: Census
Census population schedules are useful in finding the town and county where an ancestor lived. They list people who lived in each house in every town and county when the federal census was taken (every 10 years, starting in 1790). Censuses from 1850 to 1920 give at least the name, age, and state (or country) of birth for every person in the house. Earlier censuses (1790 to 1840) give the name of the head of household, plus age categories for all the males and females in that house. Censuses show neighbors, who often are relatives.
Federal census records are available for states and for the country.
What you are looking for
Your ancestor's name on a population schedule.
Why go to the next record
State censuses give a "snapshot" of your ancestor's family on the census day and indicate where they were living.
State Census: Census
Colonial, state, and local governments sometimes took censuses between federal census years. Censuses before 1840 usually give only the names of the heads of the households, the town and county of residence, and the names of neighbors. The censuses after 1840 usually have the name of each person in the household, age, color, sex, state or country of birth, occupation, town and county of residence, names of neighbors, and other information, depending on the state and year of the census.
There are census records for towns, counties, and states.
What you are looking for
Your ancestor's name in the census.
Why go to the next record
Death records often give birth information, which may not be recorded elsewhere.
Death Record: Vital records
Birth and death records contain information given by family members to hospitals, physicians, midwives, or coroners, who filed the records with town or county clerks. The record usually gives the person's name, date and place of birth or death, parent's names, and may give the place of birth of the parents. Death records may give name of spouse, age, place of death and burial, and name of undertaker.
Birth and death records may be from towns, counties, or states.
What you are looking for
- Your ancestor's death record kept by the government.
- Death records of your ancestor's children.
Why go to the next record
A collection often gathers information from many sources. Some of these sources may no longer be available or would be difficult to find.
Genealogical Collections: Genealogy
Genealogical collections usually give information about families and may include several generations. They usually give the names, and birth, marriage, and death dates and places for the husband and wife, the children, and possibly siblings and parents.
There are genealogical collections for towns, counties, states, and the country.
What you are looking for
- A collection about your ancestor's family, relations, or friends.
- A collection with records from the place where your ancestor lived.
Why go to the next record
Tombstone and sexton records often have birth information.
Tombstone and Sexton Records: Cemeteries
Tombstone and sexton records contain information from tombstones or from records kept by the sexton of the cemetery. They usually give the ancestor's name, birth date, and death date. They may include the birthplace and date, name of spouse, names of children, and names of other relatives.
There are tombstone and sexton records for towns, counties, states, and the country.
What you are looking for
- Your ancestor's tombstone inscription.
- Your ancestor's name in the sexton records.
Why go to the next record
Obituaries often give a short biography of a person's life, including birth date, birthplace, and parents.
Obituary: Obituaries
Obituaries (death notices with some biographical information) are written by family members and published in local newspapers. They usually give the name of the deceased; residence; age; dates and places of birth, marriage, and death; name of spouse; and maiden and married surnames of women. Obituaries may give the names of parents, names of children with their residences, names of children's spouses, place of burial, name of undertaker, cause of death, previous residences, occupation, military service, immigration information, religion, membership in organizations, and a photograph.
Obituaries are found in newspapers for towns and cities.
What you are looking for
- An obituary for your ancestor in a book of obituaries.
- An obituary in a newspaper where and when your ancestor died.
Why go to the next record
Military pensions often give birth information for the soldier and sometimes for the spouse and children.
Military Pensions: Military records
Military records may contain birth information about a large portion of the male population. They may also have information about their deaths and marriages.
Pensions are offered for military service by state or federal governments. The applications and pension records often contain birth, marriage, death, and service information; residences; and names of spouses, children, and other close relatives. They began with the Revolutionary War and continue to the present.
There are military records for towns, counties, states, and the country. There are military pension records for states and the country.
What you are looking for
A record of the pension your ancestor or a spouse received for military service.
Why go to the next record
Baptisms are alternatives to birth records. In many religions, children were generally baptized within a few days of birth and usually near the place they were born.
Church Baptisms, Marriages, Burials, Minutes, etc.: Church records
Church records usually include baptisms, marriages, burials, and minutes. Baptism records usually give the name of the child, parents' names, and date and place of baptism. Marriage records usually give the names of the bride and groom, witnesses, and the date and place of the marriage. Burial records usually give the name and age of the deceased person, with the date and place of burial or death. The name of the spouse may be listed, and for young children, the names of the parents may be given. Church minutes have a variety of information, including lists of members in various years.
Church records were kept in towns or counties by the minister or clerk of a congregation.
What you are looking for
A church record of your ancestor's baptism.
Why go to the next record
Marriage records often give a person's age, which can be used to calculate a date of birth. They may give birth dates and places.
Marriage Record: Vital records
Marriage records contain information about a person's marriage. Different types of marriage records exist, and each can give slightly different information. Marriage returns may only give the names of the bride and groom, the date and place of marriage, and the name of the person who performed the marriage. The minister, justice of the peace, or other authority reported the marriage to the town or county clerk. Marriage licenses or applications were filed with town or county clerks by the bride and groom before marriage. They give additional information, such as ages, birthplaces, names of parents, and current residences. Witnesses' names are sometimes given, and they may be relatives or close friends.
Marriage records are kept by the clerks of the town or county where the marriage occurred, usually where the bride lived.
What you are looking for
A marriage record for your ancestor recorded by the government.
Why go to the next record
Buying land from the government often required giving biographical information, such as age and former residences. These can help find a birth date and place.
Land Transactions, Government to Person: Land and property
Records created when a person received land from the federal, state, or colonial government may include the name and residence of the person, a description of the land, and dates of each part of the process. They may give age, military service, or naturalization information. In a few cases, other family members are named.
First ownership of land was obtained from state or federal governments.
What you are looking for
Records of your ancestor buying land from the government, such as land grants and homestead or records of proprietors.
Why go to the next record
Wills, administrations, and inventories often give a link from your ancestor to his parents and siblings.
Wills, Administrations, and Inventories: Probate records
Wills, administrations, and inventories (probate records) show a court's decisions regarding the distribution of the estate of a deceased person to his heirs or creditors. They may give the person's death date, names of family members, family relationships, and residences. They may also give information about the adoption or guardianship of minor children and dependents.
There are probate records for towns, counties, states, and the country.
What you are looking for
- Your ancestor's will, the list (inventory) of what he or she owned when he or she died, or records of what was done to settle the estate.
- Similar records of people who are or might be your ancestor's parents or relatives, who might have included him or her in their wills.
Why go to the next record
Land records give clues about when a family moved into and out of an area. They may also indicate where the family came from and moved to. This helps determine where children were born. Parents may deed land to their children and spouses.
Land Transactions, Person to Person: Land and property
Deeds contain the names and residences of the grantor and his wife (the sellers) and the grantee (buyer). Deeds may contain the names of children and their spouses, siblings, and sometimes the parents or in-laws. Deeds give a description of the land, the date the deed was actually written, and the date it was recorded. Witnesses and neighbors mentioned may be relatives or in-laws.
Deeds are kept by the clerk of the county where the deed was recorded.
What you are looking for
Records showing your ancestor buying or selling land, especially to relatives.
Why go to the next record

ITU has called for increased emphasis on key areas that could drive economic growth including Information Communications Technology- ICTs and climate change.
The suggestion came at the end of the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly held in Johannesburg, South Africa.
The meeting resolved to recognize that ICTs can be a major mitigating factor in efforts to moderate climate change and to limit and ultimately reduce green house gas - GHG emissions across all industry sectors.

Can siblings work together? At Beast + Bottle, it's all relative
Beast + Bottle keeps food a family affair.
Danielle Lirette
What is it about kids that makes them want to take each other's toys, invade each other's space, and tattle on each other? Apparently not all siblings are like that, though, because Paul and Aileen Reilly, the brother-sister duo behind Beast + Bottle, not only got along as kids, they still like each other enough to spend most of their waking hours together.
See also: - Beast + Bottle, Paul Reilly's new restaurant, opens in Uptown - Olivea, one of Denver's top restaurants, is closing in January - Photos: Sunday's farewell brunch at Encore
They first put themselves to the test at Encore, the now-defunct restaurant they opened in the Lowenstein (that space is now home to an Udi's, another family enterprise).
And in March, they opened Beast + Bottle in the former home of Olivea, creating a restaurant they "conjured in our heads since we were kids," Paul explains.
But that's not the only secret to their success. "I fought with our middle sister more," laughs Paul. "Aileen was the one who would cover for me when I had friends over and my parents weren't home."
Find out what happens when siblings cooperate -- imagine that! --- when my review of Beast + Bottle is posted here tomorrow.

BIG TINGS .:May 13 09:.
More Melodic than CliffsNotes .:May 05 09:.
Last Friday my boss asked me last minute to deliver something Downtown. I had a few minutes to spare before heading back to the office and ran into the homie DJ Style AKA Question. I've looked up to this brotha and his skills since the 90s. Dude used to kill it at Blow Pop in OB back in the day with the A# Drop Squad. He also murdered it a few times at our Crossroads gigs, down at the Juke Joint and Hollywood Star (remember those venues?!)
Mark did alot for the Hip Hop Community then, and he is still contributing, but on a worldwide level now. Check out his latest project with Freddie Joachim:
STUDY GUIDE a dope collection of jazzy beats
Study Guide is available now on iTunes, and the CD will be officially released in the U.S. on July 1st. SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL DJ/PRODUCERS!
oh yeah, i am currently bumpin' one of his mixes SOUL SCHEME which you can find, along with other sick mixes on Myspace.
Big up and Congrats, Mark!
MOTHRA .:Apr 22 09:.
The other day, coming home from work, I noticed a ginormous moth chillin near my front door:
Dude, this crazy insect was MASSIVE, like almost bigger than a business card!!!
This reminded me of another wild sighting in my patio. At first I thought it was a leaf, but upon closer inspection, I realized it was a....
This freakin' widow on 'roids carried Dr. Curt Connors at least 12 feet up from the ground to the patio roof!
here's some more wildlife near my pad:
Bananas .:Apr 16 09:.
DJ Hideo .:Mar 01 09:.
I used to listen to 92.3/100.3 The Beat (KKBT) while in college during the late 90s. DJ Hideo would always catch wreck during his mix show sets. I remember them for having such raw energy with all his dope trick mixing, music selection, and just straight up soul. No doubt one of the few who can truly "speak with his hands." Going clubbing in LA, I would often catch his live mixing at the DMK events where he would always kill it. I can't remember the exact details, but I think it was either DJ Roldan or DJ Goose from Proof Positive who introduced me to HIdeo and Tony Jr. once at a Cue's in Pasadena.
Earlier tonight I was on my homie Buddhabong's blog, and read some news that DJ Hideo is battling cancer that was very recently diagnosed. My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his Family. I hope he will stay strong in both mind, body, and spirit so he can continue to bring that energy that I remember him for.
Check out Hideo's website and learn more about him...
SERVIN' CONVERSATION .:Jan 06 09:.
Come check out our Saturday night spot at Gordon Biersch (5010 Mission Center Rd, San Diego, CA 92108). I will be in the rotation this Saturday, the 24th.
This is a very chill spot, where you can come and listen to some dope beats, have a beer, and chop it up with your fam. Most folks come through here before they start partying Downtown or elsewhere. We play outside on the patio, but I must warn you: dancing is strictly prohibited!!! It is partly covered, so don't let the rain scare you away this weekend...
We have been doin' this gig in conjunction with Mel Kapone of 15West for over a year now.
Big Up to Jo_iLL for designing the vintage flier. That pic makes me want to have a nice cold Blonde Bock from GB, but I gave up drinking beer over a year ago. Love the taste, but can't stand what it does to my spare tire!
So I had to stick with my other favorite drinks instead:
Scotch Whiskey...mmmmmm....My Father-in-Law brought over this Johnnie for Xmas, so I had to introduce him to The Glenlivet. Personally I prefer The Macallan. The best was when I bought DJ Hektik some Johnnie Walker Black and he said it tasted like STEAK! Next time you see Pauze, ask him about the time he kept drinking Glenlivet at a Turntable Lounge gig...
Ketel One Vodka...on the rocks...yeah....so smooth...creeps up on ya. Even my dog drinks it.
I recently tried Effen and it was pretty good. Those Dutch folks, man...
Kona Coffee. Yeah I know, its not an alcoholic drink, but it is just as addicting, yo. I once stopped drinking coffee cold turkey, and it was harder than quitting cigarettes. Kona turned me into a coffee snob, though. Plus I got this French Press now. Sheesh. The beans on the Big Island are hand picked, so only the ripe ones are chosen. That way you wind up with coffee that is so freakin smooth. Other kinds of coffee beans are machine picked so you get all the unripe ones in the mix, making the coffee bitter. My Uncle recently brought me back some Cafe Amadeo from the Philippines. Haven't tried it yet, but I hear its the ish, too...

Latest question:
How do you think the new GigE standards will influence the machine vision industry?
Respond or ask your question now!
The results of this research will be presented on February 6 at the International Solid-State Circuit Conference (ISSCC) 2008, being held from February 3 to 7 in San Francisco , California, U.S.A.Notes: (1) The 60-GHz-band has been allocated as the license-free frequency band from 59 to 66 GHz in Japan and from 57 to 64 GHz in the U.S./Canada for small-power applications. The radio wave in these frequency ranges is characterized by relatively high attenuation in the air due to the oxygen absorption and is therefore appropriate for short-range communications with less interference from other wireless systems. (2) According to NEC independent research. (3) A millimeter-wave is defined as a radio wave with a frequency range from 30 GHz to 300 GHz. (4) A PA, gain amplifier, driver amplifier and quadrature modulator were integrated into the transmitter chip. Simultaneously, a low-noise amplifier, variable gain amplifier, driver amplifier and quadrature demodulator were integrated into the receiver chip. (5) WirelessHD is a trademark licensed by WirelessHD LLC. (6) IEEE802.15.3c is the task group developing a standard for the millimeter-wave-based alternative physical layer for the high-speed wireless personal area network (WPAN).

The brewery and pub operator released a video (above) of the two co-founders, Martin Dickie and James Watt dressed in a horse costume to launch it's Jet Black Heart beer, and which poked fun at Diageo's multiple award winning Guinness 'Surfer' advert .
The reason for the Brewdog video stems for three years agos, when BII Scotland chairman Kenny Mitchell said he had been approached by Diageo and told not to present the award to BrewDog. The trophy was then given to another company, despite being engraved 'BrewDog.'
BrewDog remained tight lipped about its plans in a blog post but promised it would be as 'absurd as the original incident itself.'
@TaleOfAle Picture the most absurd, irreverent thing you can ever imagine us doing. Then multiply it by about a million.— BrewDog (@brewdog) February 10, 2016
Following the incident, Diageo said it 'apologised unreservedly.'
A spokesperson said: "There was a serious misjudgement by Diageo staff at the awards dinner on Sunday evening in relation to Bar Operator of the Year award, which does not reflect in any way Diageo's corporate values and behaviour."

LAST MAN AROUND THE WORLDStephen LongstreetRandom House ($3).
On the money he made from his first novel, Decade (TIME, March 4, 1940), Stephen Longstreet shipped on a de luxe world cruise. It turned out to be the last trip of that kind before the world ended. Out of the journals of this voyage he has made a book incomparably better than Decade, and vastly entertaining. Despite streaks of third-hand Times Square wit and Ben Hechtish newspapermannerisms, it suggests that Longstreet may soon be one of the most readable of U.S. writers.

We are a just a few days out of the mass killings of those at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, so details of the who, what, when and how are still slowly making it to the media.
However, if some of the current reports are true, we do know that it wasn't just Adam Lanza that was to blame for the deaths of all those kids and adults. It was his mother's fault as well. Before anyone points it out, let me save you the time of typing the message to me, I do realize she too was killed by her son and my response is......
Isn't that a nice slice of irony.
The reports are that Nancy Lanza was a single parent raising her son Adam. So if anyone knew of his mental health issues, she did. And intimately. The reports are the weapons, and specifically the AK-47 style rifle her son Adam used to murder innocent women and children, belonged to Nancy. We are also hearing that she routinely took her 20 year old mentally unstable son with her to the gun range to practice firing.
Let us debate this for two seconds, because two seconds is all it deserves. If there is one segment of our society that should not be allowed to handle a firearm, let alone be trained to use them, it is the mentally ill. Yet this woman.....she knew her son was mentally unstable, had in recent days supposedly shared her concerns about his growing mental inconsistencies, felt it perfectly fine and normal to take him to a shooting range?
Oh yes....in my opinion she has the blood on her hands for all those that lost their lives just as much as her son.
I have had this debate this past weekend with friends. Those that counter my opinion and say that "if not for the guns, 26 people would still be alive." I disagree. Anyone that defends this woman as being a "responsible gun owner" needs to have their gun right revoked. Because anyone that would advocate for placing a gun in the hands of a mentally unstable young man represents the height of irresponsibility in my eyes.
People are doing what they always do following tragic incidents like this. Those that know the shooter(s) well, speak in shock and surprise that the person(s) they know so well would ever be capable of doing such a horrific thing. The pattern continues in that aspects. WE have all heard those that know Nancy and Adam Lanza, speak of them in the most respectful and glowing terms.
I however will not. I will not afford them that level of respect in their deaths.
She was a not a poor, single mother that could ill afford to provide the therapy and treatment her son needed. To the contrary, she was a woman of a certain degree of wealth. There are women in America that aren't afforded the access to therapy for a child in need that she had. It angers me to read all the stories coming forth of her financial generosity to those in her community. As if that distances her from being a negligent parent. Even the wealthy can be irresponsible.
I watched a news show this weekend in which a NRA spokesperson offered up the argument that if all of the teachers and officials in the school had access to guns in their classrooms and offices, maybe they would have been able to better protect themselves and the children. What? Talk about missing the point. So the solution to all of the shootings taking place across America is for every citizen to own and carry a gun? And the NRA wonders why they come under such attack and disagreement.
So what's the point of this article? Why did I choose to post an article in which I attack Nancy Lanza?
Because like everyone else in the wake of this sad event that seeks an answer to why this happened, I know why it happened. It happened because a selfish woman that ignored the fact that her little past time hobby of playing with guns, resulted in her son learning to use weapons effectively. He became the sharp shooter she wanted him to be. SHE is the reason boys, girls, sisters, brothers, aunts, mothers, nieces, grandmothers, friends and neighbors were brutally killed Friday morning, December 14, 2012.
It wasn't the guns that killed these people. It was her irresponsibility that did them in.

Our featured story this week delves into why TIME Magazine's new college and university comparison tool is so controversial, especially since the tool uses nothing but Wikipedia alumni information. Also, 3 new tools for your campus arsenal; new facts you should know about students and distance education; IT's headache with March Madness; Amish country gets a murderous MOOC; and much more.

New TIME ranking system causes major controversy
A recent eCampus News story revealed that when deciding which university to attend, students may be more influenced by what people say on social media than national publication rankings such as U.S. News & World Report.

Print Services
Green office supplies are only the first step. Why not make your business collateral green too. EcoGreenOffice offers a wide range of printing services including business cards, brochures, newsletters, letterhead and mass mailings to name a few. It's simple, tell us your needs, attach the design and submit. We will provide a custom "eco-friendly" bid for your project.
What makes our printing green? We are proud of our two eco-friendly processes:
We Use A Xerox IGen:
The highlights of printing with a digital press, especially the iGen are as follows:
Digital Printing, often called Print On Demand, reduces paper waste by only printing what is needed for a specific application. Since the press comes up to color on the first sheet, there are no make-readies involved thereby reducing paper and consumable waste. Dry inks are non-toxic and have closed containers with a transfer efficiency rate of near 100%. De-Inking is the process of removing the printing ink from the paper so that it can be recycled. The iGen3 passed the INGEDE (International Association of the De-inking Industry) standards test with flying colors. This means recycled printed paper off the iGen can be recycled into printable paper again. This is something that the HP Indigo's can not claim as their paper must be repurposed since the ink does not come off the sheet for recycling as printable paper. The iGen3 emits 80% less noise than a typical offset press, no generation or use of alcohols, chlorinated solvents, acids, and flammable materials. More than 80% of the waste generated by the iGen can be returned, reused, or recycled and 97% of the components of the iGen are recyclable or re-manufacturable. The iGen is able to print on a wide array of recycled and FSC certified papers.
We Use A Heidelberg DI Offset Press:
We print with a press called The Heidelberg DI. It is a direct to plate waterless offset printing press that is one of the most environmentally friendly offset print processes in the world. Waterless printing not only saves on water conservation but since the DI does not use water, there are no chemically tainted waste water disposal concerns. Plates for the DI are imaged right on the press using a thermal process which uses no chemicals. All four plates are imaged simultaneously so registration is perfect and make ready is less than 100 sheets making paper waste savings dramatic. After the print run is completed all plate material is recycled back to the manufacturer for re-plating. The reduction of paper waste is significant when you consider that one tree is equivalent to only 236 11" x 17" brochures printed on 100# cover stock. The DI's waterless press design eliminates what is usually the largest portion of a printer's VOC output, solvent based press washes and blanket wash solutions. These benefits coupled with the thermal plate imaging reduce the VOC output by up to 90%. We print with Soy-based inks, and can print virtually any recycled stock. We can buy any FSC or SFI certified paper from certified paper warehouses. All Paper waste is recycled and the proceeds from that process are donated to the "Young Printers Scholarship Fund".

I had fat pads causing me to look tired all the time. They were getting severe.
I went to a dermatologist and she injected me successfully twice but not to the extent I was hoping. I then when to another physician to see about fat pad removal or repositioning. He said to wait until the Juvederm went away or he could inject me again with Restylane and get the trough done which was still a bit of an issue but not bad.
The previous physician did not want to inject it as there was so much improvement in what she had already done and it was risky and could cause bags. She was right. That is exactly what happened and now I need to get correction.Has any one experienced overfilling in the eye trough area after previously succesful injections?

Trip Report: Holiday World on June 4, 2011 (HoliWood Nights)
After a night of little sleep, I was off to the park for another day of fun! It started with us first heading down for ERT in Splashin' Safari. We were greeted with fresh fruit, muffins, and other breakfast goodies. After grabbing some strawberries and a muffin, it was time to ride Wildebeest. It a really fun ride, I wish more water parks would get one. (I'm looking at you Cedar Fair.)
I then had to go back to the lockers for my camera. I found this out later, but we weren't supposed to go back to the lockers. Oops, but Dan Koch walked by me on my way back and didn't say anything, so I guess it was OK and I will know for the future. After that, I headed back up to the Wildebeest for my first photo walkback. We were free to walk along the sidewalk, inside a tunnel, and up to the crow's nest.
I got a lot of great pictures. When I was done, I met up with my dad and we went on ZOOMbaba twice and Zinga once. We then headed back to Wildebeest for a few more rides before the general public literally came pouring in.
With the lines growing, we took a relaxing ride around the Bahari River. To finish off the water park, I took a ride on Jungle Racers.
Since we were all wet, we grabbed a shirt and headed off into the park in search of water rides. First was Frightful Falls. It was a nice to be back on an actual log flume when my last log flume was at Kennywood back in 2005.
It was fast paced and had a fun final drop.
Next was Raging Rapids, not exactly Thunder Canyon, but I loved the western town themeing!
Finally, we rode Shoot the Rapids's sister ride Pilgrims Plunge.
It really was nothing compared to Shoot the Rapids, just a quick ride to the lift and then the drop. No two hills, a misty tunnel, or a waterfall canyon.
We then went back to our locker to empty it out before heading to the car to change back into dry clothes. As seems to be the trend, all that water made us hungry.
Being short on time we settled for Kringle's Cafe and some famous Holiday World pizza. It lived up to the little hype I've heard about it.
Of course I was expecting a little more to the breadsticks. I thought they would have a garlic taste, but instead they just tasted like dough. After lunch, I was heading out to the car for my video camera when I ran into my friend, Jeff Guilkey. We talked for a few minute, but I needed to get the camera before the walkback. When I got back he introduced me to Ted Adams and I introduced them to my dad. Shortly after that, the walkback began.
It gives you some really close-up views of The Raven and The Legend. To get all of the shots in the little time we were allowed back there, I took the pictures and my Dad took the videos.
I was really surprised by how there was no "restricted area" fences and signs around the coaster. Holiday World is really trusting of their visitors.
After the walkback, I was drenched in sweat, so I grabbed a free drink and went over to the Hoosier Celebration Theatre because Real Country was going to start soon. I was expecting the show to be like a small amusement production. Especially after seeing Cedar Point's shows over the year, I wasn't expecting much. After watching just a few minutes, I was blown away at how good it was! It had great performers, upbeat song selection, and audience interaction.
I was sad to leave before it ended for The Voyage walkback, which was another great opportunity to take pictures that the general public can't.
We were allowed to walk down the whole road up to the 90° turn at the far end. After I had taken a ton of I pictures, my dad and I started to walk back with Ted and talk about coasters.
With sunset approaching, we headed off into the 4th of July to ride all if the rides we missed. First we went to Holidog's Fun Town for the Howler credit.
Fun little coaster and we got double rides!
Next was my first round-up ride on Revolution. Ouch, way too much pressure on my feet.
Next, I picked a gentler ride, Eagle's Flight. A really fun ride, but lacks the capacity needed on busier days.
Moving on to the bigger rides, we went on Liberty Launch.
For a small version of Power Tower, it really packs punch. Tons of air when it hits the top!Moving down the midway, we found the Lewis & Clark Trail.
It was fun and amazing that 5+ person crew at Cedar Point was replaced by one at Holiday World.
Although, the ride was nothing special, CP has better tracks for their cars, longer rides. After getting off of the ride, I heard the Vinyl Daze had started, so we raced over to catch another great Holiday World show. The performers are great even in the super humid weather.
After the show, we headed down to Splashin' Safari to empty our locker since they had just closed.
We then made our way back up to the 4th of July and Christmas to do some shopping.
Since The Raven was nearby, we got in line for a ride where we found some other HoliWood Nighters and struck up a little coaster talk.
After flying through the woods, it was time to get a t-shirt as the park was closing soon. We made our purchases and I stayed down in Thanksgiving to take pictures of Pilgrims Plunge and The Voyage.
I then headed up to Halloween and rode the HallowSwings where someone asked me what was up with a lot of people in the park wearing E.R.T. shirts and name tags. I told her it was for HoliWood Nights and she thought it was really cool how many perks we got, I still think its awesome how many perks we got too!
I then met up with my Dad and we headed over to the Good Old Days Picnic Grove. We were treated to a delicious buffet dinner of hamburgers, fried chicken, fruit, veggies, Mac & Cheese, cookies, brownies, and of course free soft drinks.
The Beachcombers band was there playing for us and they sounded really good! There was silent auction. I placed a bid on a few things, but didn't win. After, Mrs. Koch and Dan Koch came out and auctioned off ride time with him and Leah. Then they brought out the very first Pat Koch bobble head to be auctioned off. If I remember right, it went for over $100.
After that, we were set free into the park. My Dad wanted to drop some stuff off at the car so I went to Halloween to take pictures. Just then I ran out of storage space, so I had to run out to the car to get my other car, which I ended up having with me the whole time. Going back into the park, we went on The Raven and The Legend a few times before walking over to Thanksgiving.
I had a bit too much to eat and since I didn't want to repeat the events of the night before, I decided to sit it out. As 10:oo pm rolled around, the Scarecrow Scrambler was open, so we took it for a ride and that had a really long cycle, almost too long since I wasn't feeling too good to begin with.
Before leaving we got one more ride on The Legend and The Raven before calling it a night.
On the way out we were given Recesses Pieces because it had a tie in to E.T. (E.R.T).
I had an AWESOME weekend at Holiday World and I can't wait of go back again next year!
Trip Report: Holiday World on June 3, 2011 (HoliWood Nights)
After making it through the traffic of Cincinnati and the long drive through nowhere, my Dad and I finally saw the sign that said "Welcome to Santa Clause Indiana".
After a few minutes, The Voyage popped up along with Pilgrims Plunge.
We headed into The Legend Lot to park and found it eerie quit. There were only a few people still around getting in their cars. They must have thought we were crazy for pulling into the parking lot and getting out with our park stuff. We headed up to the group sales where we got our HoliWood Nights tickets and shirts.
We had to wait about 10 minutes while they cleared out the park before we could go in for the night.
After making it in, I grabbed map and we headed in blindly to find some coasters. The Raven, which I had heard about since I was a little kid thanks to PBS, wasn't open yet and The Legend broke down as we got into the station. After finding the long path down to Thanksgiving, we got on The Voyage and we were both in for a surprise. The ride was fast, crazy, and out of control. Nothing could have ever prepared me for that!
I had talked with Holiday World's twitter a few days before my trip and they said my camera clip-on cases that I use to store my camera wouldn't be allowed on the ride, so I after asking some friends what they did when they visited, I put my camera in my pocket to hide it and hooked the strap to a clip. I had completely forgotten about losing my phone. I usually hold on to it while ridding, but The Voyage was so out of control, I completely forgot about it. This means it happened for the first time, I "lost" something to a coaster, in a way. I got off the ride and was walking down the exit ramp doing my pocket check when I realized that my phone was missing. I ran up and told the ride op that I lost my phone and in what car I was sitting. The girl looked along with the guy who was sitting there. After a quick search nothing was found, but just as all hope was lost, the guy held up the phone. He found it! Thank you whoever you are if you're reading this!
So after all of that, I wasn't feeling too well after having my Wendy's dinner being shook up. So I took what I thought would be a nice gentle ride on Turkey Twirl. I was wrong! The combination of Holiday World's long ride cycles and the spinning, it felt like I was going to throw up. After the ride finally stopped, I went to get a free drink to help settle my stomach.
Then it was on to The Legend, another great coaster and my personal favorite at Holiday World. The wolf howl at the top and the smell of campfires in the woods makes for awesome themeing! It was then finally time for The Raven.
Another awesome coaster! After the drop into the woods, you can't see a thing and you're just flying! After The Raven we headed up to the Kringle Kafé to see what kind of food they had. The pizza and fudge looked delicious, but I still wasn't feeling the best and there were coasters to be ridden. After a few more rides on The Raven and The Legend, the HollowSwings had opened, so I hoped on for a spin.
Andy, who was also operating Turkey Twirl, is one of the best amusement park employees ever. He was super friendly and seemed to love his job. I then found myself heading back down to Thanksgiving to give The Voyage another try, but guess who I ran into first. The one and only Mrs. Koch!
I got a picture with her before braving the rough waters ahead. That ride wasn't any better than the first. Oh well, the free cupcake made up for it!
I headed back to Halloween for another ride on The Legend and The Raven before coming back to the HollowSwings for another ride. Andy let us go three times before finally closing the ride for the night. To finish off my amazing evening, I took one more ride on The Legend.
I couldn't wait to come back in the morning… click here to read the June 4th trip report.

Bono thought it best to travel incognito when visiting his wretched hair-lipped aunty ... State and Main
Each week, film geeks Ben Davey and Joanna Cohen work hard at reinforcing the impression at their local video libraries that they have no friends. (NB: The links below are all external sites.)
Top five gratuitous nudity films
1. State and Main (2000)
Synopsis: Things aren't running smoothly for director Walt Price (William H. Macy) as he tries to shoot a period drama in a small Vermont town. His leading man shags anything that breaths, his leading lady won't get her gear off, the writer is getting all self-righteous over a re-write and a key prop - an Old Mill - that he had based his entire film around has burned down. Woe is he.
BD: Walt Price's problems are not mere setbacks; they are more akin with Francis Fords Coppola's dramas as documented in Hearts of Darkness. State and Main, David Mamet's parody detailing one filmmaker's perils, may be an odd inclusion in this list but not for Sarah Jessica Parker's scenes which explore the market driven motivations behind gratuitous nudity. In the right hands, a nude scene will reaffirm a film's tone, shed light (ahem) on a character or at least take the piss with an effective gag. In the wrong hands, a nude scene will stick out like a snag in lentil soup and threatens the film's credibility. State and Main has a few moments of insight and it is fun to see the cast playing characters I'm sure they have run into more than once in the past (if not every time they look in the mirror).
JC: I am biased. I love movies about movies. Can't get enough of them and this is one of my favourites. David Mamet's screenplay is stocked with Mametspeak, his distinctive style of clipped dialogue. The direction is witty and careful and the ensemble cast churns out more slime than a cane toad. Even the opening title sequence is incredibly suave, though Ben would argue that I am the only person alive who cares about such things. It is really pleasurable to sit and watch a comedy that has subtlety hidden amongst the more obvious humour. The wrap up of this film has me in stitches every time I see it and was the inspiration for this week's column. Go you huskies.
2. Swordfish (2001)
Synopsis: Bad-ass spy Gabriel (John Travolta) recruits top shelf computer hacker Stanley (Hugh Jackman) to access a secret covert government operations account holding loads and loads and loads of moolah. Thank goodness for sexy sidekick with a heart of gold Ginger (Halle Berry), who consoles the heart of god Stanley, who only really wants to spend time with his daughter, who is under the custody of a porn star. Struth!
BD: From a satire featuring a lead actress who is contractually obliged to strip, to a film where the lead actress was allegedly given a handsome cash incentive to get nekkid. Sure Sarah Jessica Parker's dilemma in State and Main is a hoot, but it ain't half as funny as the oddball nude scene in Swordfish. The poolside scene, which features Halle Berry presenting herself topless to a befuddled Hugh Jackman, is so out of context and offers so little to either plot or character development that it is just downright bizarre. It's almost as if Halle was convinced to bear it at the last minute, forcing the filmmakers to slot the scene in somewhere where it would stick out least. Why not have Ginger strip to create a diversion for Stanley as he tries to escape from his captors in the climactic scenes? Oh, but of course that would be too far fetched.
JC: I get the impression that when they sat down to make this movie they decided to cram in every must-want boy-toy available. There are big bangs and explosions, fast cars, fancy pads, lots of gadgets and Halle's assets are probably the most desirable of the lot. This is one of those shiny flicks. You know the ones; you think you don't understand what is happening because you must have missed some important plot twist but then you realise it is just that behind the shiny surface there ain't that much going on. Who cares. It's fun and flashy, a little dull in the middle, but the beginning and end are big and so long as you are not looking for anything more than that, enjoy!
3. Blame it on Rio (1984)
Synopsis: Two best mates in the thick of respective midlife crises take their 19 year old daughters to Rio. It all goes a bit wrong when Michael Caine takes off his glasses and his mate's daughter takes out her retainer and they get it on on the Rio sand.
JC: Being topless on the beach I understand. Jogging on the beach I understand. But both at once? That's got to hurt and there is a lot of it going on in Blame it on Rio. In fact, there is so much gratuitous nudity, or at least semi-nudity, in this movie that extra material had to be airbrushed onto the bikini on the film poster. There is also a lot of truly awful performances. Michelle Johnson who plays Jennifer, the Lolita seductress, brings to this film one of the most atrocious performances I might have ever seen. There is a lot of blame to be cast in this film but I think Rio is probably innocent. The thing is, the plot is melodramatic, the genre is tired middle-aged romp, the script is sketchy with only a handful of great lines, and the acting wooden. Overall, however, this film is kind of lovable or indeed perfect if a 22-year-old Demi Moore is your idea of good gratuitous nudity.
BD: Some blame it on Rio, others blame it on Bangkok. Blame whatever you like, mid-life crisis cooing is just plain icky and this movie is the cinematic equivalent of ogling from a beach balcony with the solarium-orange 'playboy' uncle who's always stuffing innuendo into conversations with nephews' girlfriends. Michael Caine's character is essentially a regurgitation of Dudley Moore in 10, but at least Dudley saved his drool for Bo Derek and not school-aged girls. Gratuitous nudity? Sure, it's served up in a creepy mid-1980s romp kinda-way but if a friend of mine developed a Demi Moore fetish I would (reluctantly) probably point them towards that stripper movie she made. At least in that instance her character was old enough to smoke, drink and vote.
4. The Whole Nine Yards (2000)
Synopsis: Oz (Matthew Perry) has a nasty wife, a live-in mother-in-law, a mediocre dental practice, enormous debts and his new neighbour is hitman, Jimmy "The Tulip" Teduski (Bruce Willis). On the upside, his wife has a contract out on his life and he has accidentally fallen in love with The Tulip's missus.
JC: Perry plays Chandler very convincingly, if Chandler was a dentist living next door to a hit man. If you are looking for a Sunday night movie that requires very little thought and effort, then this is the film for you. It is light, funny, well cast and has a cracker scene of gratuitous nudity. Amanda Peet plays a dental nurse harbouring a desire for a rather dramatic career change. She is gorgeous, cheerful and in one particular scene, bizarrely naked. Go figure. The entire cast is likeable, if you like Friends. If you don't like Friends then the entire cast is likeable except one. I have revealed my Bruce Willis fandom in previous columns and in this film he manages to merge his two standard acting gears, nice guy and tough guy, with his usual aplomb. Rosanna Arquette's turn as the wife could have won this film a place in a Top five unfortunate spouses film list and Michael Clarke Duncan as Frankie Figs almost steals the show.
BD: I was working at a cinema at the time of this film's release as one of those annoying pimple-face kids who asks audience members to take their feet of the seats. The Whole Nine Yards was one of the films I stumbled in and out of, catching a few minutes here and there. I saw the film months later on video but I needn't have bothered as I had already caught the funny bits during my cinema rounds. There are worse comedies but mediocrity should not be a basis for recommendation. This film made this week's Top five for a very silly nude scene with the wannabe-hitwoman. Still, I am surprised that producers did not push for Natasha Henstridge to sign a nudie-clause as well. Perhaps after seeing her previous body of work they figured she had paid her dues in that particular area.
5. Colour of Night (1994)
Synopsis: Lost-in-the-wilderness psychologist Bill Capa (Bruce Willis), still smarting over one of his patient's suicides travels to visit colleague and buddy Bob Moore (Scott Bakula) who is subsequently murdered. Bill then takes on some of Bob's patients and starts a lusty romp with Rose (Jane March), a woman he crashes into, while the hunt for Bob's killer gets all murky and twisty-like.
BD: Some saw Basic Instinct and thought, "wow, a taut thriller with an edgy female lead", while others got excited about being able to watch soft porn under the guise of a smart thriller. Colour of Night is for the latter - a dumb romp where the sex scenes are accompanied by a Love Boat-esque score and the characterisation so thin that you feel sympathy for the cast who must recite such god-awful dialogue. Rightfully awarded the 1995 Razzie Award for Worst Picture, the nudity (including a cameo of Mr Willis' crotch) is so appallingly gratuitous that it is a marvel that Bruce Willis' career managed to not only stay afloat, but thrive after such a stinker. I guess we can be relieved that he cleaned up his approach to health care by the time he got to Haley Joel Osment.
JC: There is a story that two people approached Bruce Willis after seeing Colour of Night and demanded their money back because it was so bad. Apparently Willis coughed up. I have no idea if this story is true but I think it is pretty harsh. It is not often that you come across a film so ludicrous, so lame, so truly preposterous. That alone is worth the admission price.

Lapid: Netanyahu Has No Interest in Achieving Peace (INN) ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS) By Elad Benari 06/20/12)
Source: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/157044#.T-FQeRdo2uk
INN} ISRAEL NATIONAL NEWS Articles-Index-Top
Yair Lapid, the former journalist who now heads the Yesh Atid party, gave his first public interview on Tuesday, after choosing for months to avoid being interviewed and to mostly make comments on his Facebook page and in public conventions.
The interview was given to Channel 2 News, where Lapid was anchorman of the Friday evening news magazine before resigning in January to join politics.
Lapid criticized Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and said that he is not interested in achieving peace. In the past, Lapid publicly called to bring down Netanyahus government.
Binyamin Netanyahu today has a coalition which leads him to places that make the State of Israel look leprous around the world, he said. The fact that he is a good English speaker does not save the day. Binyamin Netanyahu has decided that he does not care to do anything to achieve peace in Israel.
Lapid added that Netanyahu took the most complicated, bloodiest problem of the State of Israel - the Israeli-Palestinian conflict - and said: ´Well pass it to our children and let them break their heads over it. That is irresponsible.
Despite his criticism of Netanyahu, however, Lapid did not rule out the possibility that he would sit in a government led by Netanyahu, adding that he does not want to be prime minister any time soon.
Any role that will allow me to change the State of Israel, that´s the role I will take, he said. Israel needs a change. Its gotten stuck. It has abandoned its citizens.
Lapid also did not rule out joining forces with former Kadima chairwoman Tzipi Livni and would not elaborate as to who he would work with.
He was careful to reject the criticism against him that he does not represent the middle class, choosing to mention the fact that he has an autistic daughter.
I do not like to use this fact, but you cannot tell a person who raises a child with autism that he does not understand life and does not understand how real people live in Israel, said Lapid. No one else speaks for the middle class in Israel. Israeli politics is in a strange position in which most of the people in Israel are not represented, and no one represented them until I came along.
Finally, Lapid spoke about opposition leader Shelly Yechimovich, who heads the Labor party and is considered his most serious challenger, choosing to highlight the differences between them in terms of the way they view the economy.
Shelly, who is a worthy and successful politician, is a socialist and this is a legitimate approach, but I think this concept may lead us to a state of economic collapse as was the case in Greece, Lapid said.
In recent comments in a public forum Lapid said, I´m not a socialist, I´m in the middle. I think we should live in a society that takes the good things from capitalism, because capitalism encourages creativity and competition.
Recent polls have indicated that Lapid could win as many as 17 seats in the next elections. Many of the seats lost by Kadima, which some polls have predicted would crash to as little as three seats, will likely go to Lapids Yesh Atid party.
Lapid´s father, the late Yosef (Tommy) Lapid, was also a journalist who became a politician at an advanced age. He headed the short-lived Shinui party, which ran on a virulently anti-hareidi platform and received 15 Knesset seats when it was at its apex, and took part in Ariel Sharon´s government (but left it in 2004).
The younger Lapid is also associated with an anti-hareidi posture and has directly attacked the Shas party on several occasions, but has denied that he is anti-hareidi. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 06/20/12)

The capital raising was confirmed on Thursday morning.
Ten chairman Lachlan Murdoch and chief James Warburton called in Citigroup operatives including equity capital markets boss John McLean, as the investment bank was mandated as sole bookrunner. Citigroup's vice-chairman Brett Paton, head of global banking Tony Osmond and banker Nick Bagot also had a hand in winning the work. The transaction was flagged in Wednesday's Australian Financial Review.
Citigroup managed a $200 million raising for Ten in June, while Macquarie Capital looked after two equity issues for the broadcaster in 2009.
On Dealogic data, Goldman and Citigroup are the busiest bookrunners in the publishing and telecommunications sector (including media stocks) this year (excluding the Ten deal), in what is a lacklustre market for broader raisings.
Ten has had a frenetic time of late due to weak advertising markets and concerns around its debt levels. The company, with the help of adviser UBS, sold its outdoor advertising business, Eye Corp, to CHAMP Private Equity last month for $113 million.The two parties agreed to a $145 million deal in July, before CHAMP terminated the sale agreement and negotiations restarted.
The Ten raising caps a busy few weeks for Citigroup's equities and capital markets team. They were involved in this week's raising for OceanaGold (alongside Macquarie), a raid on GrainCorp's shares by suitor Archer Daniels Midland, and the recent float of Shopping Centres Australasia.
Citigroup ranks fifth among its peers for core investment banking revenues with fees amounting to $US79 million this year, according to Dealogic. That is a marked improvement on 2011's $US34 million, and 12th spot. UBS leads on core revenues this year, which includes merger and equity and debt capital markets fees, at $US129 million.

Last season, when the San Jose Earthquakes came from two goals down to beat the LA Galaxy 4-3 before a 40,000-strong crowd at Stanford Stadium, it was Steven Lenhart who opened the scoring and Chris Wondolowski who ended it.
This year, as the Quakes prepare to once again host the Galaxy for an Independence Day-themed extravaganza at Stanford, San Jose might not have the services of either star forward.
San Jose interim coach Mark Watson wouldn't shed much light Tuesday on the status of Lenhart and Wondolowski, who both out due to injuries in a 1-0 loss on the road at D.C. United.
A team release described Lenhart as having inflammation in his right knee — the same joint that required arthroscopic surgery in March 2011 and last November — and a Quakes spokesman said Wondolowski suffered a contusion on his right foot in training Wednesday. Neither player was on the pitch Tuesday when media members were allowed entry to the team's training facility.
READ: Shea Salinas' efforts to fill Wondolowski's shoes come up short
"We're still working on all that stuff at this point," Watson said. "They're both working with our medical team and we'll hopefully know something by the end of [Tuesday]."
The Quakes dealt with injuries for much of the first half of this season, many of them left over from the tail end of the 2012 campaign. It seemed earlier this month that San Jose was finally returning to full strength — only to see another wave of problems crop up, threatening to swamp the Quakes' bid for a third playoff bid in four seasons.
Halfway through their league slate, last year's Supporters' Shield winners sit on 18 points from 17 matches.
"I would like to have all our players available for every game," Watson said. "Anytime that's not the case, you're concerned. When we don't have Wondo and Lenny, we're missing some of our best players."
In addition to Lenhart and Wondolowski, forward Alan Gordon and right back Steven Beitashour were noticeably absent from training Tuesday, although Watson described those moves as being precautionary and said both men were expected to practice Thursday with an eye towards facing the Galaxy.
Any Wondolowski absence would be keenly felt, not just for the fact that he has led MLS with 66 goals since 2010 but because of his status as the club's only active Designated Player and, often, its captain.
READ: Adam Jahn visits old stomping ground in preparation of Cali Clasico
"I think he's a big part of our leadership group," Watson said of Wondolowski. "He's the reigning MVP, the scoring champion, so he's a big part of us. I think the players understand that, and when he's not in the lineup, I think they want to do a little bit extra to make up for his absence."
Certainly, that will be true if Wondolowski can't go Saturday and attempt to reprise his game-winning goal from last year's Galaxy match at Stanford — a twirling, side-footed job that was followed up by Wondolowski saluting uniformed members of the US military standing just beyond the field-level advertising boards.
"Wondo's a big part of our team and we depend a lot on him," Quakes midfielder Rafael Baca said. "Spaces open up because Wondo's a target. But I feel in this situation, someone has to step up. Someone has to be that leader. Someone has to have that hunger like Wondo has to score goals."
