Hi folks, Here is a very good explanation of the new resource feature Roots has made available for researchers regarding the GenConnect boards and the various surname and locality mailing lists. If you have any questions, please contact me. These boards have been activated and any materials entered on them will be forwarded to our mailing list.

Some of these records are available to be downloaded, I've begun my collection for personal use. http://www.tdh.state.tx.us/bvs/registra/index.htm : As of March 2000, Birth indexes from 1926-1995 and death indexes from 1964-1998 are available on the internet (free), microfiche ($) or CD-ROM ($$). Birth indexes from 1903-1925 and death indexes from 1903-1963 are available on microfiche only. Indexes for open records years are referred to as general indexes and indexes for years which are not yet open to the public are called summery indexes. The SUMMARY death index is delayed six months, the SUMMARY birth index is delayed 42 months. The time lag for the birth index is necessary in order to protect the confidentiality of adoptions and paternity determinations. The Summary Birth Index includes the last, first, and middle name, if any, of the registrant, date of birth, county of birth, and sex of registrant. The Summary Death Index includes the last, first, and middle name, if any, of the decedent, date of death, county of death, and sex of registrant. All indexes are sorted in alphabetical order by surname within each year. Birth records do not become OPEN public records until they are fifty years old, and death records become OPEN after twenty-five years. All indexes are sorted in alphabetical order by surname within each year. The GENERAL BIRTH INDEX includes the last, first, and middle name, if any, of the registrant, date of birth, county of birth, and sex of registrant, and may also include father's name and mother's maiden name. All indexes are sorted in alphabetical order by surname within each year. If the record falls into the open record category, a general index may be made available for public use [later?]. The GENERAL DEATH INDEX includes the last, first, and middle name, if any, of the registrant, date of death, county of death, and sex of registrant, and may also include social security number, marital status, and the spouse's name. All indexes are sorted in alphabetical order by surname within each year. If the record falls into the open record category, a general index may be made available for public use [later?]. These are files you can download, some quite large [File size: 9 - 13 MB File type: ASCII, tab delimited], but it beats reading microfiche at the library. They promise they will put them in HTML "soon." Marriage indexes are available on microfiche or CD-ROM from 1966-present and divorce indexes are available from 1968-present. They may be available on the internet in the future (depends on customer demand). So DEMAND! The Marriage Index includes the last, first, and middle name, if any, the county of issue, the date of marriage, the spouse's name, and state file number. The Divorce Index includes the last, first, and middle name, if any, the county of issue, the date of divorce, the spouse's name, and state file number.

I have a lot of information about the Triggs in Rondo, but it will take me a while to dig it out. But I think this will get you started: Go to: http://www.rootsweb.com/~armiller/ <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~armiller/">ARGenWeb Miller County, Arkansas </A> And put the *Trigg name in the *Search Miller County ARCHIVES search engine. You will get 6 matches. Or go directly to the archives page at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ar/miller/miller.html <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ar/miller/miller.html">Miller County, AR - Archives Records</A> Also check the Lafayette County 1850 Census at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ar/lafayette/lafayett.html <A HREF="http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ar/lafayette/lafayett.html">Lafaye tte County Archives</A> There were one early marriage: Bickison, Elizabeth J. married Trigg, James on 28 Feb 1849 in Lafayette County, Arkansas And of course, we named one of our Texarkana, Arkansas schools: Trigg Vicki Richardson Texarkana

I recently read in a publication that James Saunders Trigg was one of the founders of a settlement called Rondo, the forerunner of what is now Texarkana. This James Saunders Trigg is an ancestor of my daughter's husband, and we are seeking any information anyone might offer on this person. James S Trigg was born in Tennessee, but moved to Arkansas in the 1830s. He established a plantation adjoining that of Alexander Clarence Owen of Halifax, VA in 1836. These two men decided to start a town, and the site included acreage from both properties. The part designated for stores and public buildings belonged to James Trigg, so he had the privilege of naming the community. The article above also references a publication by Mrs. Talbot Field of Hope entitled Rondo Pioneer Frontier Community of Miller County, Arkansas 1835-1858, and tells of a skirmish on Trigg's plantation about 2 miles northeast of Rondo. If anyone can provide any information on this ancestor, we'd very much appreciate your sharing it. Earlene Lyle

I have acquired a book titled "Confederate Dead" Rock Island Illinois, compiled in the Office of the Commissioner for Marking Graves of the Dead, War Department, 1912 There is no further information of publisher, etc. It is typewritten and some information is beginning to fade. It lists Name, Rank, Company, Regiment, Date of Death, Number and Locality of Grave ( Most state "Confederate Cemetery") I will be happy to do lookups for anyone sending their confederate ancestors name. Please bear with me as I do have limited time, but I will get to everyone. Thanks, Doris Lindblad
