When Vars first came out they were supposed to free us from the bondage of rigid television schedules which altered our plans for a vacation conversation or elective surgery. I used to sit at meetings and smile As a speaker droned on knowing that a a cheers was being recorded in my absence. I done to have time to smile anymore. We can pull in 35 stations on our set which comes to More than 800 hours of television a Day. There a a new dual deck videocassette recorder out that is capable of recording two television programs simultaneously. So if i watch to for 18 hours a Day and tape two other show amp for All those 18 hours that amounts to 54 hours of video a Day. Even if i gave up my six hours of sleep i possibly watch All the to in a recording. Not Only that but there a a film rental problem. You have to work them in somewhere.

One should never give up without examining guardianship records. It is not necessary that the parents were deceased for guardianship records to exist. There Are Many instances where children were left legacies often by a grandparent or other relative and their own natural parents were appointed As guardians of the property. Guardianship records kept under the jurisdiction of the court of probate will probably be indexed and easier to use but you May find these records in strange places sometimes in records that have nothing to do with the nature of the jurisdiction. You simply have to search through All records in a county to see if you can locate any guardianship records that might help you untangle your Pedigree. The kinds of records a guardianship generated Are petitions appointments Bonds inventories and accounts. A guardian was appointed then he was bonded and had to make an inventory. Throughout the term of the guardianship he had to make periodic accounts to the court showing All his activities in relation to his charge. When a guardianship terminated either by the child coming of age or by the death or marriage of the child or death of the guardian a final account or set Horoscope n�?~., k a. A \ is a a. A a a. A element was filed with the court. The kind of information contained in guardianship records varies greatly. If the person were a child the court usually had full authority to name his guardian but preference was usually Given to relatives. If the child was 14 or older he could nominate his own guardian subject to court approval a this can be a clue to the age of the child. If the guardian was named by the Parent in the parents will called a testamentary guardian then the matter was settled but it will be noted in the record of the appointment. The necessity for the bonding of the guardian was often waived by the testator when he named his children a guardian by will. The final account filed with the court at the termination of the guardianship is useful in determining the child Sage because this usually took place when the child arrived at Legal age 21 in most cases for males sometimes 18 for females. Other information often found in guardianship records will be names of the natural parents name of the guardian and name of the child or children. Sometimes descriptions of real property Are also Given in these records and they in turn can be useful identification aids. While the majority of guardianship records will be found in the probate court records of the county where your ancestors lived at that particular time these records May be found in Odd places such As deed or marriage books. The mormons family history Library has filmed some guardianship records for some localities but in most cases you will have to Deal directly with the court involved by writing and requesting copies of these records.
