I am proud to announce I granted a new website for USGenWeb Project: Genealogical Events: Conferences, Seminars, Fairs, etc. http://www.genealogyshoppe.com/events.html It is designed to not only help the researcher to know of events going on in their own area or their area of research but to also allow the society/groups let their events be known. So if any of you know of an event going on that has not been posted, please email it to me. Please inform your society/group of the website so that they might post their listings. I have appreciated your patronage and support of my county websites and mailing lists and hope Genealogical Events: Conferences, Seminars, Fairs, etc. will help serve you better in your research. For Morgan Co, AL and Sevier/Howard Cos., AR I am still working on some fine details of new information to be posted. But I do have many more hours of work yet to do - it is the small things that take the longest<GR>. But hopefully your research will be helped further by these websites. I wish to invite each of you to attend OK Cowboys & Indians Ancestor Seminar March 24 & 25 in Shawnee, OK. Our speakers include: Bill Welge (Researching the Five Civilized Tribes); Laura Martin (Mysteries in the Attic at the OK Historical Soceity); Fred Standley (The American Civil War: Where the West Began); Chester Cowan (Snappy Fashions: Time Line of Old Photographs); Dee Cordry of Oklahombres (OK Lawmen & Outlaws); Tracey Converse (Genealogy On the Internet - 2 separate classes -beginners & advanced also Genealogy Software Which is Best for Me?) For more information please go to: http://members.aol.com/OkCowboys/AndIndians.htm I will also be giving a lecture at the Cushing, OK monthly meeting Apr 3. And the lecture for Ponca City, OK seminar Apr 7-8 - I will lecture the 8th on Beginning Genealogy.

While NARA is considering a change to the fee structure for these documents, the information that has been posted is both premature and somewhat inaccurate. The Records Preservation and Access Committee, a joint endeavor of the Federation of Genealogical Societies and the National Genealogical Society, has contacted NARA officials for clarification. The following is the "official NARA statement" issued in response to our inquiry: -Begin NARA Statement: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will be issuing a proposed rule within the next few weeks that will revise fees for reproduction, including the "fixed-fee" orders in the NATF 80 series. The proposed rule will have a 60-day public comment period, during which time we will actively seek the comments of the user community. The proposed rule is presently undergoing internal government review. When it is released for publication in the Federal Register, NARA will notify the national genealogical organizations and post a copy of the proposed rule on its web site. The message will include the exact URL and the address for sending comments. -End NARA Statement- The Records Preservation and Access Committee will continue to monitor this proposal, and will post relevant information on the Records Preservation and Access pages of the Federation of Genealogical Societies' Web site (http:www.fgs.org) when it is available. Please feel free to forward this posting to other mail lists on which the original posting may have appeared.

Received this and opened it. Believe it at least tried to send it to everyone in my address book. It immediately messed up my computer temporarily but gone when I rebooted. Ran Norton antivirus 2000 and apparantly the virus was already gone. Now I know how to set up my antivirus program to scan incoming e-mail. You may or may not get this forwarded to you. Don't open it, delete it. If you do open it, it doesn't seem harmful. Shut down the computer and reboot. Just someone trying to annoy the rest of the world. Phil Sulser

Better yet, Paula.... with the idea in mind of free sharing history and geneologies; however, why not use a state genweb's virtual or the US virtual cemetary listing so that the information is FREE instead of limiting your research and footwork to a commercial software company that will charge the rest of the world to get what you have contributed? The USGENweb site is http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ussearch.htm, and the national virtual tombstone url (that will take you to each state registry) is http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/. Another suggestion I'd like to add is that why not each of us that are able go out to ONE cemetary and photograph each headstone so that the entire cemetary is documented? This photo idea is the same idea that has existed for a while of "listing" cemetaries. That way instead of their being 10 of us that go out to 4 different cemetaries (many of which will overlap) to take 10 pictures at each place, we could create 10 *fully* documented cemetaries. (At the same time, it is smart to register with your GENweb virtual cemetary person so that two of us don't go out to photo the same cemetary.) Or if you're concerned that no one will participate or do so unequally, then get a group of friends together that are interested and decide who is documenting which cemetary. Haven't you had the problem of opening a listing for a cemetary far away to find only a partial listing of 4 or 5 names? Often times someone was there and took the time to list their own, but didn't have the time nor ambition to bother to list even one stone further than their own. Or found that a long lost relative was in an old, old cemetary where the stones all around were listed by some family, but while folks knew this old relative was there with a *very* deteroriating stone, they did nothing. Unfortunately, now it isn't possible to read most of the information? These are just thoughts to add to your super great idea, Paula. No matter how you choose to do it... the idea is DO it! ;o) ----- Original Message ----- From: "paulahurst" <paulahurst@gateway.net> To: <ALMORGAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, February 20, 2000 11:53 AM Subject: [ALMORGAN] VIRTUAL CEMETERY > I just found this neat site where you can contribute photos of your > ancestors' tombstones and their birth,death, etc. You can also search it > for relatives' tombstones.

I just found this neat site where you can contribute photos of your ancestors' tombstones and their birth,death, etc. You can also search it for relatives' tombstones. I plan to go out and take photos of my Sharpes, Hursts, Byars, Burlesons, etc and contribute as many as possible! Let's all get out the cameras! http://www.genealogy.com/vcem_welcome.html
