In addition to the GEDCOM data, there is a relatively small amount of textual information, including evidence from various censuses to support the basic facts, a few obituaries and wedding announcements.
Not included in the database, and generally not anywhere on the Internet at the moment are:
- Biographical sketches
- I've written one of Marcus M. Thompson, and posted it here. I have a dozen or so others in mind. These are meant to provide a minimal narrative of the basic facts of a person's life, to suggest research opportunities and provide an overview, and in Thompson's case, to attempt to correct somewhat misleading family stories.
- Letters
- I have a few letters. A transcription of one is posted here. Others are images only. My goal is to eventually post images and transcriptions of all of them.
- Audio
- My dad conducted audio interviews with several people. Eventually, both audio files and transcripts will be posted. Also, my grandfather recorded several events on wax 78s in the 1930s. There are also some other audio files, made by others.
- Video
- My grandfather also made some home movies -- in the 1920s, '30s and '40s. This is currently all on 16mm film. (He had some of it converted from early 9mm to 16mm!)
- Photographs
- My dad (Stanley Muller) took thousands of photographs (primarily 35mm b/w and color film) over 75 years, in all environments of lots of people and landscapes. He's upgraded to digital now, with my support. I have scanned most of them, but have a few more thousand to go. One of my goals is to organize them and put them on the Internet somewhere.
