Joyce, You seem to be a little bit paranoid. Most of the information you say is no ones business but yours, is already public knowledge. I for one am glad they have done more than ask for how many people live in your home, as I would not have been able to find the many family members that I have found by using past census records that list such things as, NAMES, RELATIONSHIPS, OCCUPATION, STATE OF BIRTH, PARENTS STATE OF BIRTH, AGES, and PROPERTY. I for one look forward to the opportunity to fill out my census form when it arrives. But, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Can anyone tell be where Newlon Road Cemetery is? I think it is in or near Ft.Smith Arkansas. B.

I received this from another mailing list. As a genealogist, I found it very interesting and thought others might also. If we go along with his suggestions, future historians will be in a pickle! Joyce Herzog Tear up that census form Dateline: 3/6/00 I'm looking right now at an official, mis-addressed notice from the Census Bureau telling me that my census form will arrive next week. It's stained with coffee grounds since I tossed it in the garbage first off, then had to fish it out to write this column. The official census form will be stained too, since, like the initial letter, it's destined for a resting place beneath chicken bones and empty beer bottles. And that's all it deserves. Why sort of social misfit would condemn the census form to a moldering death beneath dinner leavings? How could I do such an antisocial deed even as a multimillion-dollar advertising campaign warns the nation that our neighborhoods won't get their fair share of the loot unless we diligently answer each and every question? As the reminder letter says, "[o]fficial census counts are used to distribute government funds to communities and states for highways, schools, health facilities and many other programs you and your neighbors need." Well, I'll tell you what kind of person I am: I'm one to who those come-ons sound like the endearments of a pusher scaring up clientele around a schoolyard. Come over here, kiddies, if you want a taste of the goods. Encouragement of dependency is not a pretty sight. Frankly, of the list of programs that I "need," I don't see any in which D.C. bureaucrats ought to be involved at all. In fact, the Census Bureau has a hell of a lot of nerve talking about distributing "government funds" when my recently completed 1040 form sits on my desk, proclaiming where those funds really originate. I'm also the kind of person who's frightened by the long list of nosy questions tagged on to what's supposed to be a head count used to allocate congressional representation. Even the short form asks for: "Tenure (whether a housing unit is owned or rented), Name, Sex, Age, Relationship to household, Hispanic Origin, and Race." The long form delves into such personal matters as your income, education, value of your home, and how many porcelain thrones you squabble over with your kids. Is that anybody's business but your own? Now, nosiness is a long-time government trait, and just because federal head-counters want to know if our toilet paper rolls hang over or under doesn't mean that the information will be misused. More likely than not, all the data will be filed away harmlessly, if expensively. But that's a lot of information. A lot of personal information. And, thought it probably won't be misused, it could be a real annoyance in the wrong hands — and the wrong hands are those of any government official. According to the Cato Institute's Solveig Singleton, "Federal agencies and employees have used information stored in federal systems to carry on personal or political vendettas, or violations of rights... Past abuses include: During World War II, U.S. census data was used to identify Japanese-Americans and place them in internment camps." That's a nasty thought. Even as Americans bicker over whether the money picked from their own pockets will be "fairly" ladled out if people check multiple racial categories instead of the single one of censuses past, nobody considers that a checkmark in one box or another could determine who gets sent to a concentration camp during the next "national emergency." That sounds awfully dire and unlikely, of course. But census data can come back to haunt us in situations far less apocalyptic. Anybody who follows the news knows that IRS agents are caught abusing tax records on a seemingly annual basis. They paw through the files for dirt on ex-wives, feuding neighbors, and celebrities. They mine the records out of malice, curiosity, or for a few bucks from a private investigator. Does anybody really believe that census workers are cut from radically different cloth than tax collectors? I'm not alone in my concerns. The Libertarian Party recently sent out a press release calling on Americans to answer only the constitutionally mandated head-count, and to ignore the gratuitous snooping that follows. The party's national director, Steve Dasbach, was quoted saying, "[y]ou can strike a blow for privacy, equality, and liberty by refusing to answer every question on the Census form except the one required by the Constitution: How many people live in your home?" To my taste, even that's giving up too much. I see no evidence that the existing political system is so responsive that the shuffling of a few politicos among the states will improve my life. Frankly, I'd rather throw a monkeywrench into the gears than pretend that I believe in the creaky machinery. Granted, the feds try to discourage such unpatriotic non-compliance. Minor legal penalties are threatened for those of us with such a terrible lack of community spirit. The faint of heart might want to simply input nonsense information into the system. Is a census worker drawing temp pay really going to call you a liar if you swear that your home is occupied by seven Samoans making $150,000 each per year and living without benefit of indoor plumbing? But the potential risks and consequences of tossing the form in the trash seem rather low. Others apparently have the same idea, and it's spreading. The Census Bureau itself admits that "[w]ith each decade, it has become increasingly more difficult to count everyone in the decennial census. The percentage of people from all housing units who mailed back their census forms declined from 78 percent in 1970 to 65 percent in 1990." Good. Let's see if we can bring the response rate down even lower. If you want to help, just tear up that census form.

Coffee, TN? Just wondering what this has to do with Scott, AR, and whether it is worth recording for posterity in the electronic eternity of the permanent archives where all postings go. Frivolous postings? Evidently the owner of this list is much more accomodating. Try moving your ancestors to Arkansas.

I'll take up for you, John................I received a smart remark from another person on here the other day for something even more picky than this!

Gee - I thought if you didn't want to read something it was very easy to click - delete. If one gets mad doing that - should you be on the internet at all? Maybe I just found a newer, quicker, more gentler way to read postings. I personally hope that sometime one of those many postings that are sent that have nothing to do with me - will have something I am looking for. I say "Keep the postings coming!!!" and Thanks for each one. > -----Original Message----- > From: Lrjwj@aol.com [SMTP:Lrjwj@aol.com] > Sent: Wednesday, March 08, 2000 1:53 PM > To: ARSCOTT-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: New limits on Queries posted? > > Readers: The following is a nastygram "Jess"(Jlewis@cafes.net) (list > owner?)sent to me for having annoyed his clicking finger and other > sinsibilities,by my method of genealogical posting. > It is followed with my comments to it, so scroll on. > > Please stop making the same "Johnson" query, over and over, on the > Tn-Coffee (and other lists).

Just a brief announcement to all cousins and friends -- a trial version of "The Jesse Tree: Descendants of Jesse Self of Walker County, Georgia," is now online and available for viewing at: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~onesimus/Web%20Cards/WC_TOC.HTM This is just a modest gedcom-like affair to begin with, since it's my first attempt at making a website. Listed and linked are the "First Thousand" descendants found which trace back to Jesse Self and Mary Narramore. Generally speaking this covers about six generations in time (down to 1920), and an estimated one-half of the total eventually to be found. As of yesterday, our entire database on this family includes 2,745 descendants (not including spouses), with about one-quarter of the lines traced to the present time. All this would have been impossible without the incredibly rich and whole-hearted sharing of research and records by so many, both in our bloodline family and in our "family of the heart." Since this is a only trial verson of this database, individuals who have contributed will be properly credited in the first revision -- projected to be the week after Easter, to give time for adequate feedback, organization and contruction. Your comments, suggestions and corrections will be appreciated (really!) I cannot allow this announcement to end, however, without making two primary acknowledgements of thanks. First, to Barbara Peck of Self Portraits who helped get this clueless newbie oriented to web-based genealogy research when I first got online two years ago. It was through her (seemingly) limitless patience, abundant information and choice referrals that I initially made contact with many of you and was inspired to begin "collecting" the entire Jesse Self branch rather than just my own direct lineage. Second on this page, but not in esteem, is Dan McCarthy of the Self Family Newsletter. Since long before comupters were thought of for genealogical uses (and still for those who are not yet online, a vast majority of the population), SFN has been the funadmental clearinghouse for gathering and distributing information on our Self families. Dan's pugnatious wit, wisdom and encouragement keep me hoping that one day we will grope our way out of the "black hole" of early 18th-century North Carolina. Anyone who does not avail themselves of the assistance of both these remarkable people is that much the poorer -- in friendship and in information. Thanks again to all of you. God Bless, Bryce

I and my husband are in the process of building a website on states in the southeast. I'm going to have basic information on records and links. If someone familiar with the records available for this county could take a look at it and correct me on information or can add info (especially county history), I would really appreciate it. Also any feedback from anyone is also helpful. The address is http://www.segenealogy.com then go to the state and county page. Thanks in advance.

My atlas indicates Sedalia as the county seat for Pettis County -- one county south from Kansas City, and three counties east of the Kansas border. Anyone live nearby or have connections there who could make local inquiries?

Dear Cousins and Co-Researchers, Reading today in Charles E. Goodner's "Scott County in Retrospect," the following struck me on page 12: > It was in 1862 that Stephen Graves became county clerk. He came to Scott county from Georgia in 1848. > L.D. Gilbreath was deputy clerk at that time. However, in 1862 Gilbreath was elected county clerk. > During the war it was said that Mr. Gilbreath took the county records to Sedalia, Missouri for safety. > He and his family traveled by wagon along with the Brashier fmaily. the wagons were loaded and the > family had to walk alongside the wagons. When the wagons came to a creek, Mrs. Gilbreath would > climb atop the wagon bows and ride across to the other side. They were stopped by bushwhackers at > one point, but they were not physically harmed. This story raises a number of questions in my mind: (1) Whether this incident did, in fact, occur as related? (2) Whether these records found their way back home after the war? (3) Whether it's possible some of Scott County's earliest "lost" records still exist in Missouri? (4) Whether (the records not being returned) anyone has ever pursued their fate? Does anyone out there have even partial answers to these questions? Regards, Bryce

Hi, can anyone give me a lookup in the Cedar Grove Cemetery (Scott County) please? Thanks so much, Myrna Wells
