Davie: YOU ARE SERIOUS??? Okay, I'm game, Davie. I may not have much to connect to but I'll send mine in. What program do you have? Some gedcoms aren't compatible with others and aol is notorious for converting the information inline (ie: it comes in as lines of data, not an attachment). I've had to have other researchers zip the information first. Just thought I'd share those potential problems but I'm still sending the info as soon as I clean it up! :-) Jo-Ann PS GEDCOM stands for GEnealogical Data COMmunications and is a (relatively...) standard form for sharing information between various gen programs. The LDS first developed this method. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- >What exactly does GEDCOM stand for? > > > >---"W.

What did I do wrong? > Amy, A computer expert I am not, but I do use FTM. When you want to export something less than your entire family file, you first have to create a document containing just the group of individuals that you want to export. I usually use an Outline Descendent Tree starting with the earliest ancestor of the particular group. When you have that document displayed, go to the FILE menu and click COPY/EXPORT INDIVIDUALS. Then click SAVE AS TYPE and select the file format for the new file. Give your new file a name and then click SAVE IN and select where you want FTM to create the new file. Then double click the folder where you want the new file to be stored, then click SAVE. (It's similar to the process you use whenever you use SAVE AS in your other software programs.) Then when you want to export this new file in GEDCOM format, do the same thing you did before except you will select your new file as the one you want to export. (Hint: Until I got the hang of this GEDCOM business, I exported it to myself to make sure it was what I intended before I sent it on to someone else. :-) I hope this helps. Martha

What did I do wrong? Hi, Amy, Unfortunately, I am not sure how Family Tree Maker works, so I hope someone else here will be able to tell us about exporting GEDCOMs from FTM. In Reunion, I have the ability to "mark" or "unmark" individuals in the database. Then, when I choose the option "export GEDCOM", Reunion asks me if I want to export everybody in the database, or just the "marked" people. If you wanted to just do a specific line, you could just mark all those individuals of that line, then export the GEDCOM. In Reunion, to make the "marking" process easier, I can go to (for example) the earliest ancestor of a particular line, then choose "mark descendants of". That way, I don't have to scroll through my database one name at a time, marking or unmarking people. I would imagine Family Tree Maker has similar features...we just need someone who uses that software to tell us what they are. <smile> Hope this helps a little, Melissa

---------------- Begin Forwarded Message ---------------- Date: 11/02 4:02 PM Received: 11/02 9:19 PM From: RetTEACHER@aol.com To: ARDREW-L-request@rootsweb.com SUMMARY OF THE HILLIARD/WOODWARD JOURNAL >From SC to Drew Co AR ca 1859 INCLUDES ANCESTORS OF NANCY GLADNEY BLACK, EDWARD BRUCE GLADNEY, RACHEL GLADNEY REEP Richard Clark Woodward married Rebecca Woodward (1st cousins) at Winnsboro, SC. Richard had 2 brothers,John & George Woodward who were prosperous merchants and cotton buyers in Winnsboro & Camden SC. Both had land holdings in Fairfield County on Jackson Creek. Richard Clark Woodward was sheriff and operated a hotel “INN”, however the family lived in a private brick home. When the YANKEES came through Winnsboro, SC their home, along with almost all others in the area, was plundered and their things taken. The daughter of R.C.Woodward went to college at Charlotte (taking her slave along to wait on her),to study music. She taught music in Winnsboro even after her marriage. She had a beautiful piano given to her as a child. When the yankees came into Winnsboro they used her square piano to feed their horses.They rolled all of the merchandise out into the streets from the stores, took what they wanted and stomped the rest into the dirt. Rebecca had hidden a trunk with confederate money and gold in the yard a good time before and covered it securely, she thought, with dirt. However, the yankees probed the yard until they found it, dug it up and took all they found. This prosperous family was reduced to virtual poverty, so they moved in November to Louisiana. By 1860, people were going West from South Carolina in great numbers. Richard Clark Woodward furnished money and slaves for his family to do the same. One of the descendants, Isaac Woodward went to Rocky Mount, LA. After the war between the states William Woodward went back to Fairfield Co SC and took his only sister Suvilla Hilliard, her Mother and her 5 children to Rocky Mount, LA. Richard Clark and Armistead Hilliard stayed in Winnsboro, to settle their businesses. But the rest of the family journed to Rocky Mount,LA. Their travels took them by train to Atlanta, another train to Mobile, by boat to New Orleans, another boat on to Shreveport. There they were met by a wagon train and one carriage, and were taken to Rocky Mount. After business was secure(?) or sold in Winnsboro, the two men bought a boat and operated the “Daniel Morton” along the RED & MISSISSIPPI RIVERS, carrying passengers to & from New Orleans as well as cargoes of good, both the ones they had purchased as well as for others.Their farm on the Red River at Rocky Mount had 1,400 acres. 400 acres was under cultivation. But things took a turn for the worse, the two men got in debt, signed a note to CHAFF of New Orleans. When 1870 brought a tremendous drought, they made only 21 bales of cotton and had to surrender their land. To make matters worse 1867 their Mother died and 1870 their father. So--under the influence of John & Mattie Robinson late of Winnsboro, now of Drew Co,AR., they started on their journey to the state of AR. It took about 6 days to make the trip from Rocky Mount to Rock Springs,AR. They crossed the Saline River at Cornish Landing and spent the night there. The youngest and oldest traveled by carriage. When they arrived at the Thomas Gibson’s home, about 6 miles from their new home, they were asked to spend the night. The women and children did accept the invitation, however the two men and about 25 Negroes(slaves) continued their journey, driving seven wagons. Since it was late and being February, it was raining and freezing. They had to take rocks to break ice off the harness before they could unharness the animals. After taking care of the necessary chores of unloading some of the wagons, they discovered they had no “fire”. They all went into the house and to bed with no fire. The next morning Armistead Hilliard was sent to the home of Edward C. Reap ( Mary B “ Mollie” Reaps brother.)(Son of Rachel & Jonas Reap) to get fire. It was about half a mile a way. The Negroes (slaves) busied themselves getting wood and setting up the furniture from the wagons into the house. While Armistead was at the Reap home, he ate breakfast with them and then got the “fire”, as well as some breakfast to take along to their home. Long up in the day the ladies and younger children arrived from the Gibson’s ,after having breakfast with them. William Woodward 1828/1896 arrived in Rock Springs in February and met Mary B “Millie “ Reap (daughter of Jonas and Rachel Gladney Reap) and they were married in July. He sold his place and moved to her place, which was a quarter of mile due east of the old Harris place in Rock Springs, AR. The elder Harris lady was very deeply religious, a member of the Methodist Church at Campground, where her membership as well as most of her family, remained until her death. She was surrounded with plenty, fine stock, stallion, buggy horse, riding horses, fine jersey cows, berkshire hogs,grey brama chickens,f turkeys, fifty bee gums, sheep and a large orchard. She was long on herbs, sage, mint, catnip, bail, yellow dock, and clamis root. They were used mostly for medicine. Between her house and William Woodwards was a famous pigeon roost. This field is a fault in the earth’s surface and it is behind this bluff that the people of the community hid their best stock when the Yankees came near. The ground is covered with rocks and the water is not good for making good suds. The Harris’s bought their place and moved there in 11-1854. They are buried at Mt. Pleasant Campground Cem. Mary Reap Woodward and William Woodward are buried at Rock Springs Cem. This is taken from a more detailed journal sent to me, Bettye Hogue Bond, by Peggy Hall Calk, desc. of Miller/Hillard/Black (Nancy Gladney Black buried Mt. Zion Cem. Lincoln Co.,AR) Nancy Gladney Black was the sister of Jane Gladney Gibson my GGgrandmother buried in Union Cemetery.(BB) Rachel Gladney Reep/Reap was the sister of Nancy Gladney Black & Jane Gladney Gibson...Rachel Gladney Reep/Reap buried Cornerville Cemetery, ancestor of many Drew, Bradley, & Cleveland Co.

Before I start, let me say this is a hunch. Last week, we were riding around and were in Selma. There is a portion of the Old Military Rd. that runs in front of John Doyle Watson's house, and it is still called Old Military Rd. We went down this and came out on the McGehee Hwy. just about a l/4 or 1/2 mile from the stores which turn to go to Selma. I'm guessing that the Gaster Old Field [may have been some of the Stephen Gaster family's land....as they (meaning he and brother-in-law Reece Bowden)were the first settlers in Drew Co. around Baxter and Bayou Bartholomew.....not too far across from Selma if traveling by the collins/Selma Rd. which comes out on Dermott Hwy. just the other side of Bayou Bartholomew...in fact the road crosses the bayou at one point between Collins and Selma.] Anyway, this may have been the spot just above the T-stop which that has the McGehee Hwy. take and immediate right and the road from Monticello goes straight to Tillar. Therefore , I'm guessing somewhere between the Selma turn off and the McGehee right-hand turn that goes on out to Dollar Hill. again .... just guessing BETH Beth Thurman or Terri Wolfe Monticello, AR 367-2701

Hi Terry: The GEDCOM file is a common way of interchanging genealogical information between different software programs. I do not have a great deal of background in the various genealogical programs that are out there, but I would imagine virtually every one has the ability to output this type of file since it is so common among this type of software. It may be listed under a "Save As" or an "Export" option in your particular program. Once the file has been copied out of the program to a file in a folder, it may be "attached" to an Email and sent to me. Hope this helps!
