Before anyone shouts "SEARCH BUTTON!" I did do a search for both identifying terms (poly, polyester, & nylon) and came back with the same 3 threads from 2005 debating the merits between an ISAAC & HANS head restraints - not what I'm looking for (already have a HANS ).
My question centers on the specific differences between polyester vs. nylon and their respective merits/detractions.
Next question would be does a harness have to be "HANS compatible" to work with a modern HANS (mine was purchased in 2009)?
I see that Sparco has a "HANS compatible" 3" wide shoulder belt 6-point harness that narrows down enough for HANS use - is this necessary (or helpful) when used with a HANS?
Obviously a wider belt is better when it comes to spreading the force of an impact on the body so any 2" end-to-end system is "out" for me.
Anyone have any other opinions/thoughts on this one? Need to be ready by the March double-school.
Unless you intend to do about 200 mph and hit a wall, I don't think there is really any difference. Even then, any of the legal belts will serve pretty much as well as any other.
I run the Schroth Profi II-6 HANS and love it. I got one with pull UP lap belts which makes it much easier to get the lap belts tight while strapped into the car. The cam release is nice too. I use surgical tubing on the lap belts so I don't have fish them out from underneath my arse every time I get into the seat.
2" belts are actually safer in some cases... especially for lap belts.
i replaced my sparco/sabelt set with a gforce PRO (emphasis added while giggling) 6 pt. couldn't be happier. it was less than $200. while i think pull ups are easier, once adjusted, i never mess with the lap belts once i got things set up - just the shoulder belts get loosened to unlatch. i THINK gforce's pull up was SFI while the pull down was FIA (2yr replacement vs 5 i think). i think the gforce is significantly nicer than the sparco/sabelt.
Nylon stretches a bit when wet. It just means you have to re-tighten if you sweat a lot. IIRC one also has nicer properties during an impact.
I'm a fan of the Willans harness, though a little pricey. They are polyester, which stretches less.
Only other I've used is the G-Force Pro.
"Seat Belts are an obvious example of webbings used in auto safety but there are myriad other uses. Nylon and Polyester webbing are used a great deal in auto racing safety for a large variety of items. Racing harnesses restraining the driver have used Nylon webbing for years, but since the death of Dale Earnhardt Polyester webbing is becoming more popular due to its increased strength, and lower rate of elongation under load. The Nylon commercial type 9 webbing generally used in racing harnesses stretches approximately 20-30% of its initial length at 2500 lb (11.1 Kn)) while Polyester only stretches 5% -15%."
We use a Schroth with the three inch shoulder belts. It still works with the Hans although it is wider. We thought that if we forgot our Hans device we could still run with the three inch wide belts. After four years of using the Hans, it would be uncomfortable at first i'm sure. The schroth seems to still work smoothly after 20+ weekends.
My G-Force FIA belts have expired, so I have to get new ones before March.
My seat seems built for five-point harnesses, since it has one slot for one belt between the legs.
I want to be as safe as is reasonable, given that we don't go as fast as NASCAR, but losing one's brakes can result in an unpleasant surprise at 120mph.
I'm willing to pay what is reasonably necessary to get what I decide is the most appropriate set for me, but I have no desire to pay more than I need to pay.
I also use a HANS, so I wonder about 2" vs. 3" (along with 5-pt vs. 6-pt).
Belts come in such a wide variety of prices, styles and features, it's pretty bewildering.
Any good advice would be gratefully accepted.
Call Steve Baker at Safecraft and see if he will still do the club racer discount for sending in your SFI tags from your old belts.
2" lap belts reportedly do a better job of placing the load on your hip bones which take much more abuse than your squishy bits so I'd go with 2" lap belts.
I'd prefer 3" shoulder belts or the combination 2-3" inch belts. Your hans shoulder supports will help distribute the load to a broader area of your shoulders. You don't have many bones in your abdomen so I'd like 3" belts there for sure.
A sub-belt in a road car isn't supposed to keep you from actually submarining under the belt like if you're laying prone in a formula car. It's designed to keep your other belts in place. A 6-point belt will help it do that better in offcenter impacts which are more common than straight on. Plus you don't drop the sub strap down the seat hole and I find them more comfortable. If you only have one hole in your seat you may be stuck with a 5-point.
Then there are creature comforts you may or may not want. I think pull down straps on my shoulder belt are easy enough to deal with. You're thin like me and without much girth, some belts/seats result in the adjustors too close to the side of the seat making them tough to get tight. Tight is good if you crash. If you like tight belts and struggle with your lap belt, look for ones that are designed to make the lap belt easy to snug up.
Cost is relative. Your hans cost more than a really good harness. Consider the cost of a set of tires and how long they last or how many gallons of gas = a top notch harness. The harness is one of your most important safety devices so that's one place I'd be willing to pay a bit more for safety.
I really appreciate my Safecraft harnesses!!
Current data shows that you do not want 3" lap belts, they tend to get above the iliac crests and distribute load into the soft, squishy abdominal bits.
Source? Schroth says this on their website, but I'm wondering if anyone's saying this other than manufacturer of harnesses with 2" lap belts.
I'm not going to believe ituntil I hear it from Greg Baker!
not to beat a dead horse...but keith in wa brought up the 'The harness is one of your most important safety devices so that's one place I'd be willing to pay a bit more for safety'. while i agree with the sentiment, if the belts meet FIA rules, its good enough for much heavier and faster cars. IMO, the gforce belts are the best bang for the buck out there, and build quality is excellent. that said, there certainly are potential reasons to buy other brands like NOT made in china..
and i LIKE the 3" belts all around. i'll admit that at DE's i will occasionally go out w/o the HANS, and the 3" shoulders are waaaay more comfy.
I'll try to find a link to the study. It was done for or by the FIA in response to some pretty serious internal/abdominal injuries associated with lap belts. It was sled work, I think with cadavers. Argh... my Googling skills aren't working today. It was independent, scholarly research, not that RSI-style stuff.
The best I could find is a bunch of research on "Seat Belt Syndrome" in childeren. Adult size belts don't work with people smaller than about 4'9". What none of them say is whether that's because the belt is too wide for the smaller hips, the mounting points create the wrong angles for kids, or some combination of the two.
I use Crow. Good price, great product. I have used 2 set so far with great results. The owner, Fred Crow, is VERY helpful. I mistakenly ordered pull-downs instead of pull-ups. He exchanged them without question. I use the 3" wide shoulder harnesses with the narrowed, to 2", section for HANS. Works well. Very pleasant to deal with and made in the USA.
HANS does not require 2" belts. 3" belts are fine from that standpoint.

Last-Minute New York State Budget Maneuver Proposes Major Changes to Erie Canal Management Without Public Input
BoatUS urges boaters and canal communities to have their voices heard
BoatUS is urging boaters to speak up now on last-minute NY State budget plan that could negatively affect the Erie Canal.
SPRINGFIELD, Va., February 26, 2021 – An act that was recently introduced in the waning days of New York's annual budget process that allows no opportunity for public input proposes significant management changes to the New York State Canal System and, if passed, could have negative consequences on the historic waterway for years to come.
Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatUS) is urging its 44,000 New York members, boaters who use the canal system for transit to the Great Lakes and Canada, as well as upstate canal community members to have their voices heard and insist legislators immediately remove Governor Cuomo's 30-day budget amendment TED Bill Part VV, known as the "New York State Canal System Revitalization Act,"
BoatUS offers an easy online option for NY state registered boat owners to send messages opposing the bill to their legislators, as well as an option for those outside of NY to post on Twitter.
"We believe the act's last-minute introduction during the end of the budget process is an indication of the administration's strategy to minimize debate and control outcomes," said BoatUS Vice President of Public Affairs Scott Croft. "To discuss change of this magnitude, we ask Governor Cuomo to engage in an open, transparent process to ensure the future of this historic waterway, not only for recreational boaters in New York and beyond, but for the communities along its length."
BoatUS notes that the proposed act essentially details the canal as a failure, calling it "antiquated and deteriorating" as a result of the lack of commercial shipping activity, while at the same time acknowledging that, "the state has not exploited the full potential of the canal system." The act would forever change the operating structure that would leave management of the canal system even less transparent than it currently is, remove state accountability, and forever hinder the economic viability of the canal with weak funding sources.
"Boaters and the public want to have a say in the canal's future, and this latest effort does the opposite," added Croft. "When you combine this with past state actions, such as most recently proposing, and then backing off, plans for the shortest operational season on record, it's clear boaters and canal communities have an important voice to offer."
Take action now! @BoatUS warns boaters of last-minute N.Y. budget maneuver proposes major changes to the management of the Erie and NY State Canal System with no public input https://bit.ly/3kscpf0 @BoatUS #BoatUSonWatch

To George Washington from James Madison, 11 November 1785
From James Madison
Richmond Novr 11. 1785
I recd your favor of the 29th ulto on thursday. That by Col. Lee had been previously delivered.1 Your letter for the Assembly was laid before them yesterday. I have reason to believe that it was received with every sentiment which would correspond with yours. Nothing passed from which any conjecture could be formed as to the objects which would be most pleasing for the appropriation of the fund. The disposition is I am persuaded much stronger to acquiesce in your choice whatever it may be than to lead or anticipate it: and I see no inconveniency in your taking time for a choice that will please yourself. The letter was referred to a Committee which will no doubt make such report as will give effect to your wishes.2
Our Session commenced very inauspiciously with a contest for the Chair which was followed by a rigid scrutiny into Mr Harrison's election in his County. He gained the Chair by a majority of 6 votes and retained his Seat by a majority of still fewer. His residence was the point on which the latter question turned. Doctr Lee's election was questioned on a similar point and was also established; but it was held to be vitiated by his acceptance of a lucrative post under the United States.3 The House have engaged with some alacrity in the consideration of the Revised Code proposed by Mr Jefferson Mr Pendleton & Mr Wythe. The present temper promises an adoption of it in substance. The greatest danger arises from its length compared with the patience of the members. If it is persisted in it must exclude several matters which are of moment, but I hope only for the present Assembly.4 The pulse of the H. of D. was felt on thursday with regard to a general manumission by a petition presented on that subject. It was rejected without dissent but not without an avowed patronage of its principle by sundry respectable members. A motion was made to throw it under the table, which was treated with as much indignation on one side, as the petition itself was on the other. There are several petitions before the House against any Step towards freeing the slaves, and even praying for a repeal of the law which licences particular manumissions.5 The Merchants of several of our Towns have made representations on the distresses of our commerce, which have raised the question whether relief shall be attempted by a reference to Cong[res]s or by measures within our own Compass. On a pretty full discussion it was determined by a Large majority that the power over trade ought to be vested in Congress, under certain qualifications. If the qualifications suggested & no others should be annexed, I think they will not be subversive of the principle tho' they will no doubt lessen its utility. The Speaker Mr M. Smith & Mr Braxton are the champions against Congress. Mr Thruston & Mr White have since come in, and I fancy I may set down both as auxiliaries. They are however not a little puzzled by the difficulty of substituting any practicable regulations within ourselves. Mr Braxton proposed two that did not much aid his side of the question; the 1 was that all British vessels from the W. Indies should be excluded from our ports—the 2. that no Merchant should carry on trade here untill he sd have been a resident——years. Unless some plan freer from objection can be devised for this State, its patrons will be reduced clearly to the dilemma of acceding to a general one, or leaving our trade under all its present embarrassments. There has been some little skirmishing on the ground of public faith, which leads me to hope that its friends have less to fear than was surmised.6 The Assize & Port Bills have not yet been awakened. The Senate will make a House today for the first time. With the greatest respect & regard I have the honor to be Dr Sir, Yr Obedt & very humble Servt
J. Madison Jr
P.S. Inclosed herewith are two reports from the Commsrs for examining the head of James River &c. and the ground between the waters of Elizabeth River & N. Carolina—also a sensible pamphlet said to be written by St George Tucker of this State.7
ALS, DLC:GW; LB, DLC: Madison Papers.
1. See GW's letter of 22 October.
2. See GW to Patrick Henry, 29 Oct. (second letter), n.1. Madison wrote Thomas Jefferson on 22 Jan.: "The donation presented to Genl. W. embarrass[ed] him much. On one side he disliked the appearance of slighting the bounty of his Country and of an ostentatious disinterestedness. On the other an acceptance of reward in any shape was irreconcileable with the law he had imposed on himself. His answer to the Assembly declined in the most affectionate terms the emolument allotted to himself, but intimated his willingness to accept it so far as to dedicate it to some public and patriotic use. This Act recites the original act & his answer, and appropriates the future revenue from the shares to such public objects as he shall appoint. He has been pleased to ask my ideas with regard to the most proper objects. I suggest in general only, a part[i]tion of the fund between some institution which would please the [phil]osophical world and some other which may be of [a] popular cast. If your knowledge of the several institutions, in France or else where, should suggest models, or hints, I could wish for your ideas on the case which is no less concerns the good of the common wealth than the character of its most illustrious citizen" (Rutland and Rachal, Madison Papers, description begins William T. Hutchinson et al., eds. The Papers of James Madison, Congressional Series. 17 vols. Chicago and Charlottesville, Va., 1962–91. description ends 8:472–82).
3. Arthur Lee's election from Prince William County was challenged on the points of residency and of holding a paying position from Congress. On 31 Oct. he was declared ineligible to serve in the house on the second count (House of Delegates Journal, 1781–1785 description begins Journal of the House of Delegates of the Commonwealth of Virginia; Begun and Held in the Town of Richmond, In the County of Henrico, on Monday, the Seventh Day of May, in the Year of Our Lord One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty-One. Richmond, 1828. description ends ).

5. A petition for the emancipation of the slaves drawn up and circulated in the summer and fall of 1785 under the guidance of the Methodist leaders Francis Asbury and Thomas Coke was read in the house on 8 Nov. and rejected 10 Nov. without dissent. The legislative history of the unsuccessful attempt in the Virginia house of delegates during this session to amend or repeal the act permitting the manumission of slaves is given in note 4 of this letter from Madison to GW as printed in Rutland and Rachal, Madison Papers, description begins William T. Hutchinson et al., eds. The Papers of James Madison, Congressional Series. 17 vols. Chicago and Charlottesville, Va., 1962–91. description ends 8:403–5. See also Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 22 Jan. 1786, ibid., 472–82.
6. Joseph Prentis introduced in the house of delegates four resolutions for vesting in Congress the power to regulate trade, but after much controversy the house took no action until the last day of the session when it passed a resolution "proposing a general meeting of Commssrs from the States to consider and recommend a fœderal plan for regulating Commerce" and appointing seven commissioners from Virginia (Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 22 Jan. 1786, ibid., 472–82; see also "Resolution Authorizing a Commission to Examine Trade Regulations," ibid., 470–71, and Madison to GW, 9 Dec. 1785, n.1). Madison identifies Benjamin Harrison, Meriwether Smith, and Carter Braxton as the leading opponents of empowering Congress to regulate trade.
7. For the report on the Elizabeth River Canal, see Henry to GW, 11 Nov., n.2. St. George Tucker has been identified as the author of a pamphlet published in Richmond entitled Reflections on the Policy and Necessity of Encouraging the Commerce of the Citizens of the United States of America, and of Granting Them Exclusive Privileges of Trade.

All correspondence between Washington and Madison


Colm Keaveney has today been removed from three Oireachtas Committees by Labour Party leader Eamon Gilmore.
"Mr Keaveney - who lost the whip after voting against part of the Social Welfare Bill - has lost his positions on the Public Accounts, European Union Affairs and Transport Committees."
Is this the usual practice, or just vindictive?
If it is usual practice, what took Eamon so long to put the boot in?
Keaveney is a politican with backbone unlike the other yes men in Labour. You are either in or out of the Labour/FG gravy train and this was always on the cards.
Did Gilmore finally do it his way!!!!
what took Eamon so long to put the boot in?
The Keaveney story is a bit stale now. Most people never cared or have forgotten about him. Dumping him from these committees would have made big headlines a month ago. Now it'll make a few waves on this site, and that's probably it.
Keaveney is a politican with backbone unlike the other yes men in Labour.
It's difficult to look at the timeline of his actions around the budget and think he was being entirely selfless.
Gilmore is a vindictive Stalinist control freak. The Student Prince has become MacBeth.
Can anyone else imagine Labour backbenchers being offered future junior ministries and plum party jobs to keep obeying the whip and saying their piece on Vincent Browne?
Any word on Tobin's committee place?
I presume SF are not adopting the same policy as Labour.
In interviews he clearly stated how he fought from within to amend certain budgetary measures but when he finally realised no compromise was possible he then took a stand on the vote on carers cutbacks.
His chances of re-election were pretty slim before but are even worse now so his action was unselfish.
Its stated in the link I provided that SF are sacking Tobin from the Chair of an Oireachtas Committee too.
If Keavney was good enough to sit on the committees before he left the Labour PP why is he not good enough now? Did Gilmore give hime the positions in the hope that he would be a good little yes man - kind of like jobs for the boys? We know the Labour position on jobs for the wife.
Or "You are either in or out of the government and this was always on the cards"
It provided a moment of awkwardness for Mary Lou: when Michael Martin objected to Keaveney's removal (backed by Richard BBB), she rose to join with Martin's comments but was then asked did she oppose the motion (which included removing Tobin) she indicated no and was refused permission to speak.
Yea, because going against the party and being on the 'outside' for the next 3 years is really beneficial for him.LOL.
If we had 100 more like Keaveney the country would be the better off for it.
Gilmore is a little sh1thead and I can't wait until he's put back where he belongs. Roll on 2016 or earlier hopefully.
If fairness though, I cannot imagine that Keaveney expected to remain on the committees but this kind of thing does give testimony to just how toothless they and the Dáil in general are in terms of holding the Government of the day to account.
Keaveney is a leftist bser. Wants to see all increments kept in the PS wants no cuts to welfare of any kind but can't or won't say where cuts will come from.
Well, they were hardly going to keep him in those committees, were they? He's not in their gang anymore.
One must remember that our Labour Party in Government are makine "great sacrifices" by voting for cuts in Carers' Allowance and Children's benefit, plus the sly other cuts to S/W benefits. It nearly kills them to vote for such but they must do so in order to save Ireland. Excuse me one moment whilst I puke. That's better. One would be more convinced of their love of Ireland and their angst at the cuts they agreed to make if they were not all looking so well fed and richly dressed. The garments of a certain Labour Party female junior minister was wearing the other day would keep a family of four living on the pig's back for a year. They do like their originals, don't they? Bless them, they need something to comfort them in these harsh times for ........ those who voted for them.


To see the pattern for this mask, and how it was put together, click here.
The hyena mask is done. It was a fun project to do, and I think it came out rather nice. This video shows how I added the fur to his ears (a last-minute design idea), and then how I added the paper mache and the paint.
As I said in the previous post, this isn't the way I normally make a mask – but for I was in the mood to do something different.
I usually spend many hours painting my masks, but this time I wanted to keep everything as simple as I could. And I didn't use any materials that might be difficult to find. Be sure to look at the comments below, because several readers submitted photos showing how this mask can look if you spend more time painting it.
A lot of people have used this pattern to make masks for their school production of The Lion King. If you make a hyena mask, I hope you'll share a photo of it in a comment below. I'd love to see how it turned out. If you don't have the pattern yet, you can find it here.
I need to make multiple masks- can I place plastic wrap over the mold and then remove to make more than one,rather than making multiple molds??! Please advise….
Hyenas are not related to dogs. Hyenas are hyenas! Hyena is actually a family (zoologically) and there are four species of hyena. We see similarities often and try to associate them, but they are in no way related to dogs, at least not any more than a cat or a person. (Actually, HORSES are more closely related to dogs than the hyena!) Hyenas are distantly related to civets, mongoose, and binturongs. They are as much their own thing as a giraffe or a rhinoceros or a kangaroo. We don't try to associate them with anything else now, do we? They are what they are, and we should treat hyenas the same way.
Hi Zee. Thanks for the info. I did a search on this page and the first hyena post, and I couldn't find the word "dog" in any place except your comment. Maybe I didn't search using the right words?
Hi Lisa. I used raw sienna for the light brown on his face, and black mixed with burnt umber for the muzzle. I used white mixed with a little bit of raw sienna to warm it up, for the eyebrows and the fluff around the inside edges of his ears. I can't remember if I used a gesso under the acrylic paint or not, but I think I probably did. It would have been the plain white acrylic gesso that you get at the art store. I hope you have fun making your masks!
love your website which awesome show with video to make mask etc.
Thanks so much for your hyena template and instructional videos. They were so clear and easy to follow! I'm loving how my hyena turned out…..now I just have to duplicate it several times for a Lion King school production! Thanks again Jonni, you're amazing!!
Great job, Kevin! I really like the way he's painted – the hyenas are really going to stand out up on stage. Do you get to make a lion, too?
Thanks Jonni! The current plan is that I will be doing the masks/headdresses of the entire animal ensemble for Lion King Jr.! (probably over 50 masks!) I just started and I'll post my lion prototype when it's done.
Do you have a pattern for a horse mask? I can't really do the sculpting like in your other lessons, but I need to make some horse masks. If you don't have one, can you help me develop one?
Hi Jonni. I wanted to ask if your book on making masks might be available as a digital download? I looked on the Google Play Store and I know it's not there. Do *you* offer it for sale as an e-book?
Hi Jesse. No, the mask book isn't available as a download. Sorry.
I'm glad you're having fun!
Chris, did you use a cardboard pattern inside your mask? It looks great! I'll happily admit that your mask came out better than mine did. Will you be painting it, too?
So the head's finally done but had some troubles with the eyes.
But with the help of ur excellent! lessons i managed to do it.
Very nice, Chris! You did a great job on the eyes, and the detailing of the fur is wonderful. Congratulations.
I love your videos. They are so inspiring. I use a product called Paverpol to sculpt and I am looking forward to trying some of your techniques with this product. It is outdoor safe and environmentally safe. I have a couple of sculptures on my web-site. I have attached a picture of Petunia.
Looking forward to your next video. Thank you for sharing.
Take care from Wembley, Alberta.
Hi Janet. Your image didn't come through. Sometimes that happens because someone else already uploaded an image with the same name. Could you rename the file and try again? I would love to see Petunia.
You want the wet kind that comes in a tub. This answer probably came a little late, but I hope you found the right kind. And have fun with your project!
Jonni, I have saved every letter I have received from you. I am planning to attempt to do some of these wonderful things you do so well. I love the Humpty Dumpty doll! Do you have instructions for making him? Keep up the great instructions on paper mâché.
Hi Martha. I'm glad you're enjoying the newsletter. The video on this page has the full instructions for Humpty Dumpty. My kitchen is almost finished, so my Humpty will soon have his permanent spot on an upper shelf!
Fantastic all the way around! I agree with Pearl — your explanations were clear and precise for beginners and pros alike. The result is beautiful. Thank you, Jonni.
Thanks, everyone. I'm glad you like him.
Another great video! Thanks so much! I want to share a tip I and my fellow acrylic painters use (we're decorative tole painters)–use hand sanitizer gel to get the last stubborn bits of acrylic paint out of your brush's ferrule. I squirt a small amount of the gel into the palm of my hand then gently press the brush into that with a sort of sideways up and down motion (you don't want to smush the brush's hairs, but you do want the gel to get up into the ferrule). When I don't see any more paint appear, I rinse my hand and do the same thing with a gentle gel soap, rinsing well with water afterwards. It's really helped my brushes to last a lot longer. This technique will even dissolve paint that has dried in your ferrule–give it a try!
The hand sanitizer also quickly removes acrylic paint from your hands/arms, even if it's dried on.
But the best thing ever for the hand sanitizer is cleanup for spills. It'll get paint off your tables, floors, etc. My dog snuck a bottle of burnt orange paint from my paint room, carried it downstairs and then squirted the entire 2 oz bottle over my light gray carpeting. I wiped up as much of it as I could with paper towels, then I poured the hand sanitizer gel directly onto it, pressing clean paper towels into it to soak it up (I also rubbed it a bit). It took nearly an entire bottle of sanitizer gel, but it removed every single trace of paint; you couldn't tell where it had been.
I didn't test the gel on an "inconspicuous" area of my carpet because honestly, I didn't have a choice. I figured even if it lightly bleached out my gray carpeting, it couldn't possibly look worse than a burnt orange area that was larger than my hand. I got lucky–no bleaching of color on the gray, but I do suggest that others might want to check it on an inconspicuous area. Just do it very quickly before the paint dries–and do what you can to the spot to prevent it from drying while you test (maybe put a wet towel over the spill).
This also works if you spill paint on your clothes. Squirt the gel onto the spill, blot with paper towel, repeat as needed. Then coat the area with your favorite soap (I use Dawn) and run it through the wash with your regular clothes. When the laundry is done, check the spot to make sure you got all the paint out before it goes into the dryer. If not, grab the gel again and start over.
Thanks, Barb! I have ruined so many t-shirts with acrylic paint. And my brushes are a mess – I don't even bother buying nice ones, because I knew I'd wreck them. I will head to the store for some of the hand sanitizer today. Is there any particular brand I should buy?
Another tip about your brushes–if you've got synthetic detail brushes, especially liner brushes, and they've got bent or splayed bristles, try this trick. First clean them well using the sanitizer gel and then rinsing them. Next, pour boiling water into a pyrex measuring cup (or any heavy glass capable of withstanding boiling water without shattering). Now slowly swirl the brush in that water for a few seconds. Not too long–it's better to do it for a brief period, check it, then do it again for a bit longer. It really straightens the synthetic material.
This is just to "fix" destroyed brushes–I would never use such a desperate measure on a good liner brush.
I hope you'll let me know how it works for you! By the way, I buy the giant bottles for home use and then the purse sizes to take to painting classes.
Fantastic tips!!!! Sometimes, if I'm not paying attention, I'll grab one of my watercolor brushes when I am using acrylic paints — not a good thing to do. Now I have a way to get the acrylic out. Thank you, Barb!!!
Barb, thanks. Almost all my pants have paint on them, a few shirts and socks! And I have a bottle of hand sanitizer in the kitchen window and never use it. Now I have a use. (The pants I'm wearing right now has a nice big yellow spot on them!) And I've ruined most of my watercolor brushes! I knew better.
Jonni, thanks for the great videos. You are always an inspiration and fun to watch.
I don't think you need to do this to watercolor brushes–that is, I've never had to do it because the watercolor paints usually dissolve as soon as they hit the water.
And about the paint on your clothes–the gel trick works when you first get the paint on your clothes, I don't think it will work on clothes that have already dried paint on them.
I've never tried it on dried paint clothes before, so if you do and it works, please let me know!
One thing our group has done with paint-"ruined" clothing is to intentionally paint the ruined area. For example, your big yellow spot would become a smiling sun maybe–paint a face on it and rays bouncing off it. And if the mood strikes you, paint some flower spots below your sun.
Yes, I didn't like the hard bristle brushes I had and the watercolor brushes were handy. Won't happen again. Too expensive!
I love your positive attitude. I'll try cleaning the pants, and if it works, I'll let you know; otherwise, smiley face it is. A throwback to the hippy days! Thanks.
Love it. Love it. Love it. You give such clear explanations for beginners like me. I appreciate it. Thank you so much. Can't wait to try making a mask. Please continue to share your talent with us. Your videos make it so much easier for us and encourages us to believe that we can do it too.

This is the first form this is getting in

I cant figure this out why the errors are not getting printed on failing the validations
present in personal.rb

A: There's a more cleaner way to do this. In your controller method(assuming it's home) you can do:
def home
  @user = User.find(params[:id]) #your logic to find user
  @personal = @user.build_personal #assuming you have user has_one personal association
end

and then in your form
<%= form_for([@user, @personal]) do |f| %>
    <% if @personal.errors.any? %>

<%= pluralize(@personal.errors.count, "error") %> prohibited this candidate from being saved:

          <% @personal.errors.full_messages.each do |message| %>

<%= message %>

          <% end %>

    <% end %>
<% end %>

Update:
In your create action(assuming this form takes to create action) you need to have something like this:
def create
  @user = User.find(params[:id]) # logic to find user
  @personal = @user.build_personal(personal_params)
  respond_to do |format|
    if @personal.save
      format.html { redirect_to @personal }
    else
      format.html { render :action => "home" }
    end
  end
end

private
def personal_params
  params.require(:personal).permit(:your_attributes)
end

Update:
If your form passes validations create_personal will simply create your record and in your case since it doesn't it will simply go to the step below it which is to redirect to home_path and hence no errors
You can even see it in your logs
User Load (0.1ms)  SELECT  `users`.* FROM `users`  WHERE `users`.`id` = 36  ORDER BY     `users`.`id` ASC LIMIT 1
(0.1ms)  BEGIN

     @user = current_user
     @personal = @user.build_personal(personal_params)
     if @personal.save

     else
       flash[:alert] = @personal.errors.full_messages.each{|e|}

The Nosey Genealogist's: Help Me With My Family Tree
British Family Tree Research, Tips, Techniques and News
Tag: kin
Find Your Naval Ancestors
Having very recently visited the Historic Dockyard at Portsmouth my interest in my seafaring ancestors has been revived.
As an island nation I am sure that many of the readers of this blog will have ancestors that have gone to sea, if only for a short time. Many of us will have family who have served in the Royal Navy and so have discovered just how intimidating it is to research a Royal Naval ancestor, especially if we compare it to looking for those of our kin who were in the British Army or the Royal Air Force.
Tracing Your Naval Ancestors – A Guide for Family Historians by Simon Fowler gives the reader a clear guide on how to use and, importantly, how to access the Naval records which are scattered among numerous repositories around the British Isles with the majority housed at The National Archives in Kew.
The book begins by giving the reader a short introduction on how to get started in their research. Simon Fowler assumes the reader has little prior knowledge of the navy and its history. His book shows you how to trace an officer, petty officer or rating from the seventeenth century up to the 1960s using records at the National Archives and elsewhere.
The reader will discover that the records of RN officers and ratings can be located back to 1660, often with more success than if you were looking for similar records in the army. As holdings for officers and ratings up to 1914 are different Simon Fowler has separated the two into their own chapters. A separate chapter then addresses the records from 1914 which covers all ranks.
There are additional chapters for the various auxiliary services; the coastguard; the Royal Marines; the WRNS; HM Dockyards; the sick and wounded and researching ships.
Depending on the era in question there are many naval records that the reader can use to discover more about the Royal Navy and its personnel. This well illustrated book shows the reader where to find the records, explains well what they contain and is an excellent addition to anyone's library if they are interested in Royal Naval ancestors.

Another Brick Wall Crumbles!
I was asked this week to find out what I could about a man that was never talked about in the family.
Intriguing, I thought!
The subject had married the contact's aunt in 1943 and fathered three children before, at some time, becoming estranged and then divorced from the aunt.
What little I had to go on was that in the Second World War the man was a British officer in the Indian Army. We didn't know his date or place of birth, where in the U.K. he was from or any other family details.
To make things a bit more difficult he had always used a nick name "Ron" that was not the short form for his actual first name. Luckily for me, we did know the full name of the subject and to preserve anonymity I am going to refer to him here as Vincent Martin Edwards (not his real name).
Before the independence of India, in 1947, the Indian Army was an important component of the British Empire's forces and made a significant contributions to the Second World War effort. After independence the records of officers, such as my man, have been deposited at the British Library in St. Pancras, London and so this was my first port of call.
I know from my visits to the British Library that they have runs of the Indian Army lists on the shelves of The Asian & African Studies Reading Room on Floor 3. A look in one of these, for the war years, should provide the officer's number that can then be used to locate his service records that are held there, but not on open access.
From research that I have done in the past at St.Pancras I know that access to the service record for someone of this era would more than likely be restricted to the next of kin. All I wanted, however, was for one of the staff to look inside the document folder and to provide me with the date and place of birth of Vincent Martin Edwards and so I shot off an email request.
In amazingly short order I was emailed back with the answer: Streatham, 22 February 1919.
Meanwhile I had found the marriage details online for the couple at Findmypast in their British India Office Ecclesiastical Returns. The bride and groom were both 24 when they married in a church, in India and so I had confirmation of a birth date of 1919.
Turning to the online Birth, Marriage and Deaths, that are widely available on the internet, I went in search of the birth of Vincent Edwards for that quarter. These should be held in the records for the district of Wandsworth and so all I had to do was find the reference and order the certificate from the GRO.
Ever think things are going too well… that they are just a bit too easy?
The rapid reply from the British Library, the exact date and place?
Yes, that's right! There were no records for Vincent Martin Edwards in that area for that date.
I began to expand my search to the neighbouring districts and found a Vincent Edwards in Camberwell for the first quarter. Perhaps this was my man? Was he born just into this district, I wondered, as it is not that far away on the map.
Now you may have heard the mantra "Always kill off your ancestors" that is try and find their death and in this case it only took me four years in the same Camberwell district to find the death registered of this namesake. This Vincent Edwards only had a life of 4 years, so couldn't be my man.
So if the district was not wrong what about the date, not withstanding the supposed corroboration of the year from the marriage return?
I went back to the Wandsworth BMDs and began checking for the birth in the years either side for 5 years at a time. Result: a Vincent M Edwards born in 1920, so now we know he had exaggerated his age on his Indian Army records and at his marriage as well! Perhaps he had joined up before he was supposed to, as people did this in war time.
The lesson is to always treat dates with healthy scepticism until you get the primary record to prove them. I have ordered the certificate and await it with interest. From it I will be able to see such details as the Father and Mother's names (The mother's maiden name was added to the births, marriages and deaths index (BMD) held by the GRO from the September quarter of 1911).
I have a useful tutorial in my Family History Researcher course on using the General Register Office index and ordering certificates for anyone that is unsure of how these records can help in your English/Welsh family tree research. Click the link below to read more.
First World War medal winning heroes now available online at TheGenealogist.co.uk
I've heard from the team at TheGenealogist about their new medal release that gives full details of heroic soldiers and their deeds in the First World War and The Second Boer War to aid you in your search for more information on your ancestor's war exploits.
Analysis of these newly released Distinguished Conduct Medal records uncovers stories of heroism and exceptional bravery from ordinary soldiers. The medal was instituted in 1854, but the desperate fighting and struggle of the First World War saw the medal awarded to a larger amount of soldiers for the first time.
TheGenealogist.co.uk has released complete new records of Non Commissioned Officer's and Other Ranks who were awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal in The First World War and The Second Boer War.
Uniquely these new records show full details of the Recipients Medal Card combined with a link to The London Gazette which in numerous cases contains full details of the heroic deed that won them the medal. The Gazette is the one of the official journals of the British Government and can be classed as one of the oldest surviving English newspapers.
The records contain full details of the soldier awarded the medal –their name, rank, regiment, date of medal citation and details of their heroism in battle, all easily found using 'SmartSearch' on TheGenealogist.
Men from all walks of life found the strength and resilience to summon up acts of courage to go above and beyond the call of duty.
The first Battle of Ypres reached a crisis point for the British at the end of October 1914. The 1st Division were being driven back and the 1st Coldstream Guards had been wiped out in the fighting. At a critical moment, Sergeant J. Kirkcaldy of the 26th (Heavy) Battery, Royal Garrison Artillery (as seen in the illustration), brought up fresh horses under a terrific shellfire to replace those already killed. His gallant conduct saved a transport wagon. Details of his DCM Medal award can be found on TheGenealogist:
On October 20th 1914 at Chateau de Flandre, Sergeant Forwood of the 3rd East Kents (The Buffs) found himself in a desperate situation. Initially buried alive when a German shell hit his machine gun position killing or wounding his comrades, despite receiving numerous wounds himself, he managed to escape and report the situation to his headquarters to ensure their position was covered. His DCM award appeared in the London Gazette in early 1915 and an artist's impression of the trauma he suffered is illustrated here.
His full details and link to the London Gazette are all found in the new DCM records on TheGenealogist.
Mark Bayley, Head of Online Content at TheGenealogist concludes: "We are continually making more historic military records available and our new DCM Collection with its link to the London Gazette brings all the information together for the family historian. Our collection of military records goes from strength to strength with more to come."
To find out the extreme bravery of our soldiers and their courage in the line of duty see the dedicated page on TheGenealogist.co.uk/DCM. There you will find photographs, stories, statistics and a free search facility.

Family history secrets from the Asylum
Last night's ITV programme on Secrets from the Asylum was fascinating from a family history point of view.
It showed vividly how emotional a finding that one or other of your ancestors spent some time, or indeed died, behind the doors of an asylum can be.
One of the things that I always advise people, thinking about researching their family tree, is to be aware that they may find skeletons in the cupboard. Also that once the skeleton is out this can cause other members of your family to get upset with you for opening the door into the past. Its particularly difficult if you dispel a carefully constructed family story that has been woven to protect the family from a perceived disgrace.
Another maxim, that I tell people new to family history, is not to judge their family for making up these stories and to try to understand your ancestor in the era in which they lived and in the social context of their times.
Both these "rules" had to be applied when I found a cause of death for a client whose family tree I was researching. Just like Christopher Biggins, one of the celebrities on the show, he to discovered that his ancestor died from "general paralysis of the insane".
The client's ancestor was said to have fallen from his horse as a relatively young man. My client had become suspicious of this story, perhaps subconsciously having picked up that the received wisdom was not told convincingly enough. His theory, however, was that his ancestor had perhaps run away from his wife and family. The truth was more of a shock when the certificate was delivered to him by me.
In the programme last night actress Sue Johnston was also featured as she revisited the hospital where she had worked in the 1960's. Her experience was of wheeling patients down to have Electro Convulsive Therapy (ECT), which was invented in the 1930s to treat schizophrenia but was used on a variety of illnesses by the 1960s. Her memories of the patients getting the treatment were quite distressing for her.
I have found people who had this treatment and went on to live normal lives but for researchers who discover this in their family tree, this can sometimes be upsetting.
So, as long as you are aware that not everything that you may find out about ancestors will be "rosy" then family history research is a compelling pastime that gets better with the more records and resources that you can get to use.
If you are just starting out and want to build your knowledge of English/Welsh family history so that you are able to track down elusive ancestors then take a look at my course at Family History Researcher Academy.

Daring First World War escapees revealed
TheGenealogist.co.uk
With Monday being the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War there are many new records online.
With all the websites highlighting their records for the war that was meant to be "the war to end all wars" we have quite a choice.
So I was looking for something distinct to look at this week.
Luckily I've heard from the team at TheGenealogist about some new records that approach WWI from a slightly different angle.
TheGenealogist has just released for the first time two million military records that have uncovered the determined Allied servicemen who escaped from First World War POW Camps.
These new records include both officers and other ranks, listing those men who endured the hardships and often brutal regimes as a prisoner of war. It's an area of the Great War that is very rarely looked at.
The hardship and disease that became rife in the camps made many men look to escape. The Allied Officers, although held in slightly better conditions, also had an unwritten code that it was every officer's duty to try to escape and many tried and failed.
The new release gives details of the Allied Officers behind the escape attempt at Holzminden Camp, near Hannover in 1918, where a tunnel was dug for 8 months using cutlery as digging tools. 29 men escaped, 19 were eventually caught but 10 got away and returned to England. Their daring escape inspired the prisoners in the famous 'Great Escape' of The Second World War.
Holzminden Camp held a number of high profile Allied servicemen. Conditions were harsh as it was used for the most troublesome prisoners, who made regular escape attempts. Prisoners listed on TheGenealogist's records include Michael Claude Hamilton-Bowes-Lyon (The Queen's Uncle), William Leefe Robinson (who shot the first German airship down over London and who was kept in solitary confinement for repeated escape attempts) and James Whale (future Hollywood Director of 'Frankenstein').
Mark Bayley, Head of Online Content at TheGenealogist, commented:
"Our new unique records are a great resource to track down those First World War ancestors. With our extensive range of military records it's now possible to find out if your ancestor was a casualty or taken prisoner of war of if they were one of the lucky ones who made it through unscathed. With this being the centenary year of the outbreak of The First World War, it is the perfect time to explore your family tree and discover the war service of your ancestors."

ONLINE RECORDS REVEAL OVER 360 YEARS OF STAFFORDSHIRE HISTORY
One of my clients has family from Staffordshire and he was bemoaning the lack of records he could find online.
Well now the UK family history website findmypast.co.uk has published online for the first time over 2.8 million parish records in partnership with Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Archive Service as the final instalment of Findmypast's 100in100 promise to release 100 record sets in 100 days.
Spanning 1538 to 1900, the parish records launched today mark the start of an exciting project to create the Staffordshire Collection on Findmypast – a rich source, which on completion will comprise around 6 million fully searchable transcripts and scanned images of handwritten parish records.
The Collection covers all Staffordshire Anglican parish registers up to 1900 deposited with the Archive Service and includes over 3,400 registers recording the baptisms, marriages and burials carried out in the ancient county. This will include the City of Stoke on Trent and parishes now within the City of Wolverhampton, as well as the Boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell and Walsall.
The lives of many notable Potteries folk are recorded in the Collection. Captain of industry and prominent abolitionist, Josiah Wedgwood, the man who established the Wedgwood company in 1754, industrialised the manufacture of pottery for the first time and created the famous "Am I Not a Man and a Brother?" anti-slavery medallion, appears in a baptism register. Born on 12 July 1730, Josiah was baptised the same day at St John's church in Burslem. His grand-daughter Emma Wedgwood, the future wife of Charles Darwin, also appears in the Collection.
These church records also provide some unexpected insights into significant events in Staffordshire's colourful history. In a late 18th century register of baptisms from the parish of Alrewas, curate John Edmonds took it upon himself to record a narrative of local happenings, and this too can now be read online for the first time. Edmonds recounts details of a flood that swept two bridges away, an earthquake that rocked the parish in 1795, a series of local riots over food shortages and even a lightning strike that killed 3 cows and 2 horses. He also recorded events of national significance, such as King George III being fired upon with an air gun on his way to parliament.
The Potteries proud manufacturing history is well represented in the Collection. Other important potters in the records include William Moorcroft, Potter to the Queen by Royal Warrant, and founder of the Moorcroft pottery that supplied stores such as Liberty & Co and Tiffany New York. There's also Thomas William Twyford, inventor of the single piece ceramic flush toilet and co-founder of Twyford Bathrooms, and John Aynsley, the founder of Aynsley China, one of the last remaining producers of bone china in Stoke on Trent.
Manufacturers are not the only famous Staffordians to be found in the records. Admiral of the Fleet and 1st Earl of St Vincent John Jervis, best remembered for his defeat of the Spanish fleet at the 1797 Battle of Cape Saint Vincent and his patronage of Horatio Nelson, was born at Meaford Hall in 1735.
Marriage registers from 1835 contain Burton upon Trent brewer and politician Michael Thomas Bass Jr, whose clever leadership saw Bass become the best known brand in Britain and the largest brewery in the world. Other famous figures include Francis Barber, a freed Jamaican slave, who became the manservant and beneficiary of Dr Johnson; William Thomas Astbury, the pioneering X-ray scientist; and legendary classical composer Havergal Brian.
The Staffordshire Collection adds to Findmypast's already extensive cache of parish records, the largest available online. These records allow family historians to research as far back as the 1500s, and with more Staffordshire records still to be added to Findmypast, family historians from all over the world can now explore their more distant roots more easily than ever before, and uncover their Staffordshire, Black Country and Potteries ancestors.
The records were launched at an event at the Staffordshire Record Office by Findmypast, Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Archive Service and Staffordshire County Council Cabinet member for Children, Communities and Localism, Mike Lawrence.
You can view these exciting new records here: http://100in100.findmypast.co.uk/.
Debra Chatfield, family historian at findmypast.co.uk, said: "From today, anyone, wherever they are in the world, will be able to go online and discover whether they have Staffordshire roots. These really are fascinating parish records, full of colourful insights, and you might even be able to get your family tree as far back as 1538, when Henry VIII was on the throne!"
Mike Lawrence, Cabinet member for Community at Staffordshire County Council said: "We are very proud of our heritage here in Staffordshire and this is the start of an exciting partnership with Findmypast to bring 6 million names online for people to search through. The project will give family historians from across the world an opportunity to delve into our rich past and learn more about our great county.
"We also want to encourage more people from the county to explore their own family history, and access to the Staffordshire Parish Registers on Findmypast will be free in Archive Service offices and libraries across Staffordshire."

How To Break Down A Family History Brick Wall
Family History Brick Wall
I've got some advice for you to break down a brick wall.
Have you been stuck trying to find an ancestor?
Thought you might have been!
Maybe what I relate below will help you too.
The thing was that some while back, I was getting quite frustrated by being unable to trace a person in the records.
I was completely stuck finding this person's birth, marriage or death and I had tried looking online and off without any luck.
Maybe you are in this position too?
What broke the problem for me?
Well it was a visit to a Family History website while surfing for keywords to do with the ancestor and then a little bit of time spent browsing the transcripts featured on the platform.
There were some other factors, such as trying different spelling variations of first and second names, as advised by my family history teacher at the time and a visit to an archive.
What it boils down to is using a bit of lateral thinking in our family tree research and most importantly finding out about alternative records to the ones that we might have already used.
This is one of the themes of the Family History Researcher course that I market online.
The family branch that has presented me with the most frustrating problems has been that from Devon. I was fine going back through the census years, 1911, 1901 and so on back to 1841 but then it became more of a problem.
Perhaps this story resonates with some of you to?
I had figured out that my 3x great-grandfather was called John Thorn. This was provided in the information he had given to the census enumerators over the years, along with the fact that he had been born in about 1795. His wife, Elizabeth, had been born about 1798.
As I belong to The Society of Genealogists I took a trip to their headquarters in Goswell Road, London knowing that they have the largest collection of Parish Records in the country on microfiche. They've also got some transcripts of parish registers in their library, which I thought may be worth looking at.
If you are in the area I highly recommend you visit the Society of Genealogists.
The SoG library is a treasure trove and it features often in the Family History Researcher Course and one complete module takes us inside their doors.
Unfortunately for me, at the time of my research, the Dartmouth parish records were not on microfilm at the SoG. But I was over the moon to find a great selection of Devon Family History Society booklets for marriages taking place in the churches of the town, including St. Saviour's, Dartmouth. Browsing one book for any likely ancestors I spotted that on 13 April 1817 one person called John Thorn got married to an Elizabeth Sissell.
I opened up the internet and began searching using my new lead. My mission was to hunt down any evidence that this was the marriage of my ancestors.
Doing a search-engine query for Dartmouth + family history steered me towards the Dartmouth-history.org.uk website belonging to The Dartmouth Archives. I discovered that this voluntary organisation had a really broad family history section and included a number of transcribed baptisms, burials, marriages and census records.
I could read the very same information, as I had seen at the SoG in London, on this niche site. The data began in 1586 and ran to 1850 and there was the marriage of John Thorn to Elizabeth and this time I noticed that the witness were given as John Adams and Sunass (sic) Sissell.
Funny name, I thought, and today I understand taking transcribed names with a pinch of salt. If you decide to join the Family History Researcher Academy you will learn more.
At the time I made an assumption that this last person was more than likely some member of the bride's family. Could it perhaps be the father of the bride?
But that name "Sunass" just didn't seem likely to me. Now I know that it was the best guess by the transcriber as it couldn't be read properly in the original record.
From the information I knew that they had signed with a mark, thus they were illiterate and so the first name and the second had not been written down by the ancestors themselves.
When you are doing your own research you should bear in mind that our ancestors may not have had the ability to read or write and the minister may have interpreted the name as he had heard it said to him. In my ancestor's case the surname "Sissell" could possibly have been "Cecil" or something entirely different. Consider saying the name with the regional accent and seeing what you come up with.
As for Sunass – at this point I was clueless!
The Dartmouth Archives website had not got any early enough christening records for John and Elizabeth and so I went over to the Latter Day Saints (LDS) website or FamilySearch.org and here I did a search for Elizabeth's christening.
I was rewarded by a lead to a baptism in one of the other churches in Dartmouth, St Petrox, on the 16 September 1878. This child was the daughter of James and Sarah Sissill and she was christened Elizabeth Gardener Sissill.
You may notice that the spelling had changed to Sissill with an "i" and not an "e" again pointing to the vicar writing it down the way that he heard it.
I now jumped to a conclusion that the witness to Elizabeth's marriage could have been her father "James" and this has been interpreted as "Sunnas" because a flowing "J" for James had looked like an "S" to the transcriber and the other letters had been misread as a "u" for an "a" and the double "n" as an "m". All easily done.
So what I am emphasising here and I continue to do so in modules from my Family History Researcher Course, is to be wary of names and the way they were spelt. If you keep this in mind then some of the logjams we find in our research can be got past.
This breakthrough I had was down to finding that Dartmouth has an active family history website and then using their indexes in conjunction with other internet resources, such as the LDS site.
The first learning point is that you should always find out what other research may have been done, for the area your ancestors came from.
If you find a family history society, or local interest group with a website, can any of their publications or website pages help you with your quest?
Secondly, always keep in mind that names were misspelled in many records. In my own family research I have had to think of other spellings for the Sissells, and indeed names that may have sounded like Sissell in order that I may trace this line back further and break down the brick wall.
I have made some fantastic strides in my family tree research and it is mostly down to learning as much as I can from other's experiences and finding out as much as I can about what records and resources are available.
Last year I put together some modules for a course of 52 guides, aiming at passing on my experience. Perhaps they can help you become a more knowledgeable researcher?
I had some professional genealogists and data providers also contribute to the project to make it well rounded.
There is a special offer running for readers of this page of a £1 trail for four weeks membership of the Family History Researcher Academy. Click here to learn more.
As you have come to this page I am sure that you must have an interest in family history and I am betting that you to have some brick walls to knock down as well. So take a look at the report below that is based on some of the material from the Family History Researcher course…
Exceptional new records from Findmypast uncover the diversity that formed the Royal Air Force in the First World War
Press Release from Findmypast that those of us with RFC/RAF servicemen in the family may be interested in.
Findmypast.co.uk, in partnership with The National Archives has released close to 450,000 service records of men of the Royal Flying Corps and Royal Air Force including 342,000 Airmen's records never seen online before. Tales of derring-do brought to life so vividly by W.E. Johns in his Biggles series are well-known, but today's release tells, for the first time, the stories of the unsung heroes from across the world and from the lower ranks that made up the RAF on its inception.
The majority of records in this collection date from 1912 with the formation of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) and include men who continued to serve in the RAF up until 1939. The earliest records date from 1899 with the Royal Engineers Balloon Service in the Boer War. With these fascinating records now available online, Findmypast offers the most comprehensive collection of British military service records in the early twentieth century.
Drawn from across the world…
The records reveal for the first time how World War One brought together men from across the world to serve alongside each other. Over 58 nationalities served in the RAF during World War One, with men signing up from as far afield as India, Brazil, Japan, Russia, Poland, Mexico, Romania and Germany. Included in the records is the first Indian to fly into combat, Hardutt Singh Malik, who became the only Indian aviator to survive the war, despite coming under significant attack and ending up with bullet wounds to his legs that required several months' treatment in hospital. After the war, Malik joined the Indian Civil Service, serving as the Indian ambassador to France, and following his retirement became India's finest golf player, even with two German bullets still embedded in his leg.
… and from across society
Despite the RAF's reputation as the perfect playground for the upper classes, today's records reveal how those from the working-class flew wing tip to wing tip with the officers, and became highly celebrated for their superior flying ability. One well-regarded flying ace, Arthur Ernest Newland, had humble origins as one of at least nine children from Enfield, north London, but the records show how he went on to twice receive the Distinguished Flying Medal for his prowess in the air, ending the war having destroyed 19 enemy aircraft, 17 of those single-handedly. One of ten children from a poor family in Limerick, John Cowell also became a celebrated airman during the war. Beginning on 5 May 1917, and extending through 28 July, Cowell scored fifteen victories as a gunner, and was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal on 11 June 1918, as well as the Military Medal with Bar. Returning as a pilot in 20 Squadron he scored his final victory a year and a day after his fifteenth but sadly was shot down and killed the next day by balloon buster Friedrich Ritter von Röth of Jasta 16.
The air's a stage
With the records containing information about an individual's peacetime occupation, as well as their military prowess, it's perhaps no surprise that the RAF appealed to the more dramatic members of society with records showing 104 actors, nine comedians and even one music hall artiste made up the RAF ranks.
"It's a real treat to have such an extensive set of records about the everyday airmen of World War One" said Paul Nixon, military expert at Findmypast.co.uk. "These people, drawn from all walks of life, and from all over the world, played an incredibly important part in shaping our history, particularly in the development of aerial warfare. To have many of these hitherto unseen records easily accessible online for the first time mean that now many people can discover the Biggles in their own family."
William Spencer, author and principal military records specialist at The National Archives continued: "These records reveal the many nationalities of airmen that joined forces to fight in the First World War. Now these records are online, people can discover the history of their ancestors, with everything from their physical appearance right through to their conduct and the brave acts they carried out which helped to win the war."
The records, comprising National Archives series AIR 76 (Officers' service records) and AIR 79 (Airmen's records) contain information about an individual's peacetime and military career, as well as his physical description, religious denomination and family status. Next of kin are often mentioned and this too has been fully indexed and is easily searchable. These records form part of Findmypast's 100in100 promise to deliver 100 record sets in 100 days.

A Newly digitised, navigable atlas collection details 500 years of British history
Atlas shows us how Britain's landscape has changed over the last 500 years
Looking at this collection of 57 maps and you will be able to find England's lost counties of Westmorland and Huntingdonshire
Find Parish borders that hark back to when people associated more with their Parish church than town hall
There is a newly published historic atlas of Great Britain online at Ancestry.co.uk that gives the family historian something of a unique view of the countries of England, Scotland and Wales stretching back over 500 years.
Digitised by the family history site Ancestry.co.uk, the Atlas and Index of Parish Registers, consists of fifty seven different maps of the counties of the U.K. What is interesting to me about this is it shows how Britain's ancient parish and county boundaries have changed shape over the centuries.
We have all been there in our research. You may have lost someone from the records of a
particular county and thus you become stuck unless you can see the boundaries as they stood at the time that your ancestor was alive.
I was doing some research for a client whose ancestors came from Northfield. Today that is a suburb of Birmingham and so is in the West Midlands. At the time of their ancestor Northfield was in Worcestershire.
The subject of the research got married about ten miles away in Dudley, which was in Staffordshire at the time and today has its own archive service as it is a Metropolitan Borough. Thus to find the records of a family that lived in quite a small radius needs careful thought as to where to look.
This newly digitised Atlas is navigable online, users are able to scroll over whole counties and then use a zoom tool to go in and out. Useful if you need to identify the various local parishes, towns and the churches.
The original documents used in the atlas are from the resources of the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies.
Browsing the maps open up quite an insight into how England's historical county maps didn't change much for centuries, before many of the ancient counties were split up to make more governable areas.
In this atlas the county of Middlesex is shown as it was in the 19th century. At that time it consisted of what are today large swathes of modern London and so included the likes of Islington and Chelsea. London itself is a much smaller settlement that is barely more than one mile wide.
The Home Counties appear in their original form before the legislation of the London Government Act 1965 created Greater London. You will also be able to see the original boundary of the counties of Essex and Surrey when viewing the maps.
Other counties that are defunct today but can be traced in the atlas include Westmorland (today a part of Cumbria), and Huntingdonshire, which disappeared into Cambridgeshire following a Government Act in 1971. Lancashire is also to be found here in its original form, comprising of modern day Manchester and Liverpool and also various parts of Cumbria and Cheshire. It was subsequently reorganised and downsized, losing nearly a third of its area in the process.
Before the population of the country grew over the centuries and along with this regional administration developed, people were inclined to identify themselves more with their local parish when considering where they came from. As time moved on and these parish borders changed to such an extent that now it is almost impossible to determine the exact location of some parishes and their records using modern maps.
I have an interest in a small village that sits today in North west Leicestershire, but in years past was divided between Leicestershire but with pockets residing in Derbyshire and completely surrounded by Leicestershire on all sides!
The Atlas is thus an authoritative guide to the drastic changes in Britain's county and parish borders over the last 500 years and a valuable way of adding geographical context to family history research.
The maps were the brainchild of Cecil Humphery-Smith, a genealogist and heraldist who founded the Institute of Heraldic and Genealogical Studies, based in Canterbury, which promotes family history both through courses and its extensive library. He is, of course, the author of Phillimore Atlas & Index of Parish Registers.
At Ancestry.co.uk, the maps can now be searched and browsed by county. For family historians using Ancestry's Lancashire Parish records as well as the 1851 Censuses and Free Birth, Marriage and Death Index will discover that every record in these collections links to a relevant map.
In addition, almost eight million new records have been added to the Lancashire Parish records currently available on Ancestry's site.
Ancestry.co.uk Senior Content Manager Miriam Silverman comments: "The borders of the UK parishes and counties have changed so much over the last 500 years and that really makes these maps the key to navigating the past and progressing with your family history journey."

Bryan Caplan (born April 8, 1971) is a libertarian George Mason University professor of economics.
Wars fought exclusively on foreign soil do have marginally higher real output growth than peacetime periods, but real growth during all other wars is sharply below peacetime levels. Evidence for foreign and domestic wars is consistent with monetarist, fiscalist, and mixed theories of wartime booms.
(April 2002)"How does war shock the economy?". Journal of International Money and Finance 21 (2): 145–162. DOI:10.1016/S0261-5606(01)00046-8.
In a modern democracy, not only can a libertarian be elitist; a libertarian has to be elitist. To be a libertarian in a modern democracy is to say that nearly 300 million Americans are wrong, and a handful of nay-sayers are right.
Personally, then I have no reason to lash out at the education system. Quite the contrary. Yet a lifetime of experience, plus a quarter century of reading and reflection, convince me that our education system is big waste of time and money. Almost every politician vows to spend more on education. As an insider, I can't help gasping, "Why? You want to waste even more?"
The Case against Education. p. 1.
Magic isn't real. There has to be a logical reason explanation for the effect of Ivory Tower achievement on Real World success. And here it is: despite the chasm between what students learn and what workers do, academic success is a strong signal of worker productivity. The labor market doesn't pay you for the useless subjects you master; it pays for preexisting traits you reveal by mastering them.
The Case against Education. p. 13.
Statistical discrimination may be unfair and ugly, but it's hardly weird or implausible. Why is it any more weird or implausible to claim employers statistically discriminate on the basis of educational credentials?

History
The region was a stronghold during World War II for Serbian nationalist Chetnik fighters. After the climax of the war, the new communist government of Josip Broz Tito dispersed the local Serb population as retribution and established a large army base and firing range for the new Yugoslav People's Army (JNA).

It held a significant military base of the JNA in the second part of 20th century and was one of the military strongholds of the Army of Republika Srpska during the Bosnian War. The mountain became internationally renowned as it was the site of the Manjača prison camp run by Republika Srpska authorities.
