Amy, The Hilliards are: Hilliard, Arminta Harris B. Feb. 22, 1861 D. Sept. 13, 1952 Wife of Armistead Dan Hilliard Hilliard, Armistead Dan B. Sept. 22, 1857 D. May 9, 1949 Hilliard, Doris B.

Dec. 18, 1955 A personal note on the Hilliards: They lived in Wilmar and during my growing up years, Ike owned the drug store and Doris and Myrtle worked there. The ladies would keep Milky Ways and Snickers in the ice cream cooler for us kids. They also had the tastiest "tootie frutti" ice cream that lips ever touched!

I live in Broken Arrow and work in Tulsa. If I'm here during this time, I will go see Dr. Willis. Becky B. _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

For any list member who might be in Oklahoma or going to Tulsa to shop for Christmas: Dr. James W. Willis will be at Barnes and Noble in Woodland Hills Mall in Tulsa on the evening of December 22 at 7:30 p.m. for booksigning. We should be proud of this "hometown boy" and as Rebecca says, lets help him out! Carolyn

Re: exporting specific information: I've found that making a duplicate copy of my master family list and then deleting out all unwanted individuals in the copy works for me. I can then have every line separate if I like. I keep these extra files as back up and usually work with just the master list (which has it's own back up!). Yes, it takes time but it also helps when sharing gedcoms with other researchers. Jo-Ann

Just wanted to say how proud I am of everyone lately--there is so much sharing going on in the last few days! Thank you to all the people who are posting articles, and also to the folks who are doing lookups for others. And the folks giving advice on using various genealogy software programs are to be praised also. When the former president of the Arkansas Genealogical Society thinks you're a fantastic bunch, you know y'all are doing a great job!!! Thanks again for making my list manager duties a 'piece of cake'!! :-) --Melissa

Hey, whaddaya know?? I should actually be in Drew County for this event! Brian and I bought our plane tickets yesterday for Christmas. We will be in Ark. from Dec. 18 (Friday) to Dec. 27 (Sunday), and of course I want to go over to Drew County when the museum & archives are open that weekend before Christmas. I have ordered Mr. Willis's book by mail but was told the publication & ship date aren't til December. I hope my book arrives before we fly over there, so I can have it signed. Any interest in a get-together for the local ARDREW folks that weekend? --Melissa At 11:15 AM -0600 11/3/98, rdea wrote: >> As you may know, I am scheduled at a book signing at the Drew County >Meseum, >> Sunday, December 20, at 1:00.

I've noticed that others are volunteering to do look-ups for the area but I'm in IN so what to do? Volunteer to do look-ups here, of course! Anyone need some good ole' Hoosier info? (e-mail me directly to save Drew list space) Jo-Ann, bahai@netusa1.net

Rebecca (and all), Not to create any more work for you, but what if we could all help put together another book on Drew County history? Maybe where "Old Times" left off? I was talking via e-mail with Pat Cowan yesterday, and hit upon a neat idea---making a video journal of Possum Valley, the homesteads where our ancestors lived, the cemeteries, etc. For folks that haven't been to Arkansas, or haven't been there in years, this would be a good way to share how & where our ancestors lived. Also, Beth, at one time you had mentioned it was hard getting young people interested in the history of the area. Does your school have a journalism department? Creative writing? Maybe a project idea for the students could be a video journal, or a photo essay, or recording some oral history from some of the "old-timers".

Amy: I don't know of a way yet to limit whcih members get "exported". You may want to Email support at Broderbund and see if they have a solution. Here are the instructions they have given us in the help file. dave To export your Family File to GEDCOM: 1. From the File menu, select Copy/Export Family File (ALT, F, C). 2. Click the Save as type drop-down list and select GEDCOM (*.GED). 3. In the File name field, type a name for the GEDCOM file. It must have the extension .GED. 4. In the Save in fields, select the drive and folder where you want to place your file. 5. Click Save. Family Tree Maker displays the Export to GEDCOM dialog box. 6. Make your selections from the dialog box. Each of the options is described below. File Type The "Destination" field allows Family Tree Maker to check for special requirements of the program that will read the GEDCOM file. The table below will help you make a selection. FTW offers the most complete export; select it if you plan to later re-import the file into Family Tree Maker for Windows. If the program you are exporting to is not listed, choose FTM. Select this To create this type of file ANSTFILE Ancestral File of LDS Church NPS Temple submission to LDS Church PAF Personal Ancestral File, 2.1 or later ROOTS Roots II Roots III, Roots IV, Roots V, Visual Roots, or Family Gatherings FTM Family Tree Maker for DOS FTW Family Tree Maker for Windows When you make a selection in the "Destination" field, Family Tree Maker makes suggestions for the "GEDCOM" and "Character set" fields. However, if Family Tree Maker's suggestions are incorrect for your purposes, make your own selections. Whenever possible, choose Version 5 in the "GEDCOM" field; it offers the best export. When you don’t know which file type to use, or when you’re exporting to PAF version 2.31 or earlier, select Version 4. Options Select the Indent records check box to make the file more readable in a word processor. Some programs cannot read indented records, in which case this setting will be ignored. Select the Abbreviated tags check box to use abbreviations for the GEDCOM tags, instead of full names. 7. Now you must tell Family Tree Maker which information to export to your GEDCOM file. Family Tree Maker automatically exports most of the information, depending on your choices in step 6. If you have sources for this information, they are also exported. To see and/or change what is being exported, click Fields to export. When you click "Fields to export," Family Tree Maker displays the Fields to Export dialog box. Otherwise, click OK and skip the rest of these instructions. There are two lists in this dialog box. The list on the left, Fields to Export, contains all of the Family Tree Maker fields that you can export to the GEDCOM file. The list on the right, Fields in GEDCOM file, contains the GEDCOM tags to which the Family Tree Maker information is being exported. ("Tags" are labels for the different fields of information in the GEDCOM file. For example, the tag for occupation is "OCCU".) Note: The "Fields in GEDCOM file" list defaults to contain all of the GEDCOM-supported fields, based on your choices in step 6. If you do not want to export all of this information, you can remove items from this list. See the next step for instructions. 8. If you want to remove a tag from the "Fields in GEDCOM file" list, click the tag name and then click Don't export. 9. To export a Family Tree Maker field that doesn't have a GEDCOM tag opposite it in the "Fields in GEDCOM file" list, click the name of the field. 10. Click Export field. If there is more than one possible GEDCOM tag to which that information can be exported, Family Tree Maker displays the Change Fields dialog box. In this case, continue with step 11. If there is only one possible tag to which that information can be exported, Family Tree Maker automatically inserts the tag name in the list on the right, opposite the name of the Family Tree Maker field. In this case, skip to step 13. 11. In the Change Fields dialog box, click the name of the GEDCOM tag that describes the information you selected in step 9. 12. Click OK to return to the Fields to Export dialog box. 13. Repeat steps 8 through 12 until all Family Tree Maker fields that you wish to export have GEDCOM tags opposite them in the "Fields in GEDCOM file" list. 14. If you wish to change the mapping of a Family Tree Maker field, click it and then click Change field. If this button stays grayed out, the mapping for that field is preset and cannot be changed. 15. Click OK when you've made your selections. Family Tree Maker returns to the Export to GEDCOM dialog box. 16. Click OK again. Family Tree Maker creates the GEDCOM file. -----Original Message----- From: Melissa Jones <tsaritsa@ix.netcom.com> To: ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com <ARDREW-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Monday, November 02, 1998 11:59 PM Subject: Re: [ARDREW-L] What's a GEDCOM? >KESSAROSE@aol.com (KESSAROSE@aol.com) wrote: > >>Melissa or Davie or ANYONE else who can help.....I have family tree maker and >>recently attempted to send my Bordeaux file as an email attachment.

Right on, Melissa, I use Reunion on my MacIntosh and enjoy it immensely! I started with the original version of Reunion and have upgraded three times. I think those "other" computers owe the MacIntosh a great deal of praise, since our operating system has always been a type of "windows" format that wowed the competition into coming up with their own "Windows" version. The Reunion program became so popular among Mac genealogists that those "other" computers begged for a version of their own, and got it. Interesting turn of events wouldn't you say! Variety seems to be the spice of life! I sure do enjoy this chat room! Dorothy

Nope. That's the only math term I know....I think..... I'm a computer nerd. FYI: When I was a freshman at Arkansas A & M in 19 hundred and 70, I interviewed for a part-time computer trainee job at Burlington Industies there in Monticello. I had to take an "aptitude" test for computers in order to be considered for the job. Finished that one hour test in 15 minutes. Came back the next day and they said, "We're sorry to inform you of this, Mr. Daugherty, but we can't can't hire you. According to the test, you don't have the aptitute to learn computers!"

Dear Drew Countians: Desperately seeking RODGERS - and information or leads to fill in the blanks in my other lines (MILAM, SCOGIN, GRUBBS, HENDERSON, JACKSON, NEILL/HILL, CARTER, WELTH). I have been having fantastic luck with my MILAM and SCOGIN forebears. (Rebecca's book gave me great leads, found the rest on the Internet.) Not such great luck with RODGERS. My father gave me some info, but I can't seem to get beyond that. Any ideas? Here's what I have so far - just the direct line, not siblings (I apologize if it's confusing - I don't know how to write these things clearly, yet): Father: Terry Cloyd Rodgers, born 1/7/17, Drew County, AR Grandfather: Richard Champin (this is what my father says his middle name was) Rodgers, b. 12/1/81 or 82, d. 2/60, buried Beulah Cemetery Great-grandfather: Milton Eugene Rodgers, b. ?, d. circa 1884 Great-great-grandfather: Richard Rodgers Great-great-grandmother: Rosie Welth Great-grandmother: Elizabeth Ann (Grubbs) Rodgers, b. 10/12/61, d. 1/18/50, buried Beulah Cenetery Great-great-grandfather: Stephen Henderson Grubbs, b. 3/14/1827 in Talbot County, GA, d.
