It is really easy to use and has two options. You can type in the "forgein" documents and it will set it to English or you can type in English and it the choose what language you want it translated into.

Clark, The submissions for both topical and family sections have been given to the book publisher's agent. The topical articles were given to them in July and the family stories in November. The committee of volunteers will still have to proof them when the publisher sends them back. There are well over 2000 articles, so it will depend on when the proofs arrive, how many volunteers can work on them, how often and for how long, etc. We think the wait will be worth it. It is shaping up very well.

- Legacy 3.0 Is Now Free The Millennia Corporation made an announcement this week that should interest a lot of genealogists: their excellent Windows genealogy program, Legacy 3.0, is now available free of charge. Legacy is one of the better genealogy products available and has had a retail price of $49.95 (U.S. funds). In the May 10, 2000 edition of this newsletter, I wrote, "Legacy has always been one of my favorite genealogy programs since the first day that I saw it in operation. The new version didn't let me down; it improves on an already top-notch program. If you are thinking about moving up to a more powerful genealogy program, I would suggest that you consider Legacy 3.0." Now it will be very easy to "consider" Legacy 3.0 since you can download it online at no charge. You also can obtain it on CD-ROM disk, although Millennia Corporation will charge a few dollars for the disk and postage. Millennia first released Legacy over two and a half years ago. Since that time it has grown to be one of the more popular genealogy programs in the market today, even with a retail price of about fifty dollars. "Today's announcement marks a big change in the distribution of the product," said David Berdan, president of Millennia. "We expect a huge increase in our user base in the near future. We also have plans for many new products and features." It's surprising to see a program this powerful available for free. How will Millennia make money? By offering a new, enhanced version for $19.95. The company apparently expects that you will try the free program and will love it. They probably expect a lot of people will then pay the extra money to add even more functionality. I believe the Gillette Corporation used to do something similar with razors: they gave the relatively expensive razors away free and then made millions of dollars selling razor blades to fit the razors. It might be easy to think that the free version of Legacy is a "dummied down" edition. Not true. It is the same as the full commercial version of Legacy 3.0 that Millennia Corporation was selling for $49.95 until this week. The new $19.95 version appears to be what I would call "version 4.0" although the Millennia Corporation prefers to call it the "Deluxe Edition." The free version of Legacy 3.0 includes the following: * Easy data entry * Unlimited file size * To Do List and Correspondence Log * Web Page Creation * IntelliMerge, one of the nicest implementations I have seen for merging two databases together * A powerful Report and Book generator * An excellent method for recording source citations * Multiple family files in split screens * GEDCOM import and export * Spell Checking * Search and Replace * Much, much more The Deluxe Edition, available for $19.95, adds the following: * It can produce PDF files from previewed reports. These can be sent by email and read in the free Acrobat Reader from Adobe. * Compare Two Files for Duplicates allows you to see if there are individuals or lines in another file that you might want to import. * The new Advanced Sourcing features lets you assign sources to a group of individuals or marriages at one time. You can select the fields to be sourced. * Many reports can now include a Location Index showing on what pages each location is used. * A new Relationship Calculator lets you see every way any two people are related. You can also print nice Relationship Charts with colored boxes and text. * When doing Merges you can specify any pair of individuals as being "Not Duplicates." Oftentimes you may have felt like you were wearing out the Skip To Next button as you came upon pairs of individuals you knew were not duplicates but had similar names and information. Now you can mark these pairs as Not Duplicates so they don't continually show up in subsequent merge sessions. * There is a new Last Report button on the main screen that lets you quickly go to the last report screen you used. * You can now Renumber RINs and MRINs (Record and Marriage Record Individual Numbers). You can renumber specific individuals or marriages as well as groups of records. * You can now Reuse Deleted RINs and MRINs when adding new records and importing. * You can select the color of boxes on Ancestor, Descendant and Pedigree Charts. Both the free version and the Deluxe version of Legacy 3.0 require the following: a Pentium class computer with a minimum of 16 megabytes of memory (32 megabytes or more recommended), 35 megabytes of available hard disk space, Windows 95, 98, 2000, Me or NT. If you are unhappy with your present genealogy software, or if you would like to trade up to a free program that probably is more powerful than what you are using today, I would suggest you take Legacy 3.0 for a test drive. You may like it better than what you have been using, even if you paid a lot of money for your current software.

Sorry to be so slow in responding -- I have a 1935 yearbook from Phillips High School if you'd like any info from it. According to the yearbook: Motto: "Carpe diem." Colors: Crimson and White Flower: Carnation Please feel free to write me regarding this book. I got it from ebay, and so far it hasn't helped me yet. If I can help others with it, then it will have been worth the cost. (Be patient, though, I'm usually not THIS slow, but I did let myself get a few days behind....)

I was searching the egroups for genealogy and came aross this site SurnameSearchDaily@egroups.com It is free to subscribe and they send out a daily "surname search" list. I have found it very useful and they also list the harder to find web pages where people post data to. Example would be like a small area in a county where as Rootsweb would do the whole county. On todays list was the link below. It was helpful to my cousin and I thought someone else might want to check it out. You might also want to do a search on the egroup site to see if anyone is researching the area or name your looking for. http://genealogysearch.org/index.html#surnames

Poorhouses chronicled on Web "Site is clearinghouse for information about the forgotten needy. by Paul J. Ellion, AP Hillsdale - She began by looking for information on her grandmother "Emma" and discovered a family history that at first surprised her, then later inspired her on to a new mission. Linda Cannell, known as the "Poorhouse Lady," began her Web site, www.poorhousestory.com to chronicle the history of America's poorhouses and the destitute people that history forgot. Her site is a clearinghouse for information on the numerous poorhouses that dotted the American landscape in the 19th century. The story of the Will Carleton Poorhouse in Hillsdale county is told on her site. There is also a 1850 Census listing for the poorhouse in Fayette Township, with Lorenzo and Susan Dowd listed as the <keepers of the poorhouse.>" This is taken from a newspaper article given me. To see the entire article, search on the title. It is a recent article, but I do not know its date. It is too long to re-type. I do not know the newspaper. I do not have web access. However, I thought this information and web site was worth passing on to others. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Here is a great newspaper article about the wedding of my great-grandmother Ida Belle Cornelius, d/o Thomas Benton Cornelius and Elliott Florence Carlisle, to Jesse Monroe Phillips, s/o William Brittain Phillips and Rachel Smith. I hope you enjoy reading this great story. Happy Holidays! Robert Johnston AT DOUBLE WEDDING 60 YEARS AGO, TREE STUMP HELPS FOIL MATCHMAKING PAIR The Birmingham News (Alabama), Friday, March 10, 1967 By John Willoughby, News staff writer When Ida Belle Cornelius stuffed her clothes in an oak stump to evade her father, she set off a chain of events that produced more than half a century of "togetherness" for four people. Today, two couples celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary here, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Phillips were up from Montgomery to see Mr. and Mrs. Forney Mize. This alone would give them plenty to talk about and remember, but the relationship of the four have a beginning that's worth more than a little reflection. Up in the Blount County of 1907, a young lady's choice of husbands wasn't always hers to make. Or at least that's the way most fathers had it figured. BENTON CORNELIUS was a well-to-do farmer whose daughter Ida Belle was to marry a gentleman of her father's choosing. When Miss Cornelius became of marrying age, her father would scout the available qualified young men and make a choice. But, in the interlude, young Jesse Phillips came a callin'. The courtship flourished, and it wasn't long before he asked Ida Belle to be his wife. Father was the last to know. By the time he was confronted by young Jesse, plans already had been made for a double wedding. Jesse's sister Lela had already consented to marry Forney Mize, also of Village Springs, and had even set a date, the church, and the preacher. All that was needed was their father's blessing and they would add two names to the ceremony. Phillips set the day, summoned his courage, and asked Mr. Cornelius for his daughter's hand in marriage. Benton Cornelius probably scowled a bit, clinched his fists and pronounced: "No marriage." "IF WE CAN'T do it with father's blessing, then we'll just have to do it without." they decided. A way had to be figured to get the necessary clothes and belongings out of the house, past the curious eyes of father Cornelius, and ready for an elopement. Young Jesse had captured the heart of Mrs. Cornelius. Fortunately, because a helping hand was needed in getting three extra dresses out. Ida Belle slipped her clothes out, and piece by piece, "packed" them into an old stump. Edwin, Jesse's brother, hitched up his buggy for a night ride over to the Cornelius home, and under cover of dark, retrieved the clothes of the bride-to-be. It took two weeks. Even for a young lady eloping, the wardrobe was staggering. Ida Belle left home that clear morning of March 10, 1907, to witness the marriage of her friends, Lela Phillips and Forney Mize. BUT WEDDING BELLS never chimed in Village Springs that day. For no sooner had she rounded the corner than the wedding party pulled up in a shiny buggy. In went Miss Cornelius, off lurched the horse, and the foursome drove to neighboring Remlap for their double wedding, blessings or no. The two couples have remained in touch for 60 years. After a few years of moving about, both families settled down in East Lake, where Jesse Phillips worked for L & N Railroad, and Forney Mize was employed as a carpenter. The Phillipses later moved to Montgomery but have returned to be with their old friends and "conspirators in the get-away" for significant anniversaries such as the 50th and 60th. Benton Cornelius? He finally warmed up to his son-in-law. "It took 11 years, though." Mrs. Phillips said.
