    1. [ARSEARCY] BLM site repaired
    2. Mysty McPherson
    3. As of 11:30 am CST I found access to the http://www.glorecords.blm.gov site working just fine. The !@#$% hacker had only hacked the "genealogical" portion of this site (the search for land patents). No virus was involved. The basic sight was always OK. And now access to it is back to normal. No need now for further announcing, commentary, discussion, conjecture, concern, right? <whew> He/it was one ugly critter, wasn't he/it. Mysty shakerag@mtnhome.com

Simply stated, MT SB443 is designed to prohibit the destruction of old public records [over 10 years] before notifying specifically listed historical agencies, including public individuals. You can follow the pathway the bill has taken by visiting http://www.state.mt.us/ , then click "2001 Legislative Session," then "Look Up Bill Information." This link will take you to a search engine where you can enter SB, then 443. Follow the path and you can read for yourself what the bill says to determine what to say in your letters to the legislators. As of 3/14/2001, the bill has been tabled in the second House committee session. I intend to provide my own outcry to preserve the records for my MT traces on two lines back to the late 1800s.

It has the email addresses for MOST BUT NOT ALL. I wrote a SHORT ( the longer it is the less likely it is to be read) note pleading for the preservation of my husband's and children's history. His family has been in Missoula for over one hundred years. (You must in some way state a relationship with Montana for the message/testimony to carry any weight) I then COPIED it and then just went down the list, clicking on each email and pasting my messages onto each of the emails. I realize I could have sent one message collectively, but in my experience if it appears to be more personal it stands a better chance than one that is sent in a blanket manner. I gave my name and address at the end even though it outside of Montana. It is generally required in other testimony that I have been involved in. This destruction of documents just makes me sick and I urge you all to write immediately. It only took me an hour to contact all of those that had an email address. I consider it an hour well spent!

This was a response I received from a posting on a Montana mailing list I subscribe to regarding the destruction of ancestral records in Montana! I asked if there was any action I could take as my mother was born in Butte and I have an interest in preserving these records. I thought those of you with connections to Montana should be aware of the situation and hopefully will take action too! "I would think that the more who wrote the better. Make sure the families who write explain that they're interested in preserving their Montana family records, as the site requires a person to put their home address and they'll see it's from out of state. In the comment section, just mention the reasoning for wanting the bill to pass - their Montana ancestral records. If you have any other questions, Patti Marchington is heavily involved in Helena. Her email address is below." Please take the time read this message and respond to those mentioned below via e-mail. Subject: Urgent--SB 443 Hearing update for Genealogists & Historians, SB 443 had tons of opposition from the lobbyist for: The Clerk of District Court Assoc. The Clerk & Recorder's Assoc. The Treasurer Assoc. and opposition from the: The School Insurance Assoc. The State Fund for Workmen Comp. The State Historical Society Library The Secretary of State Brown's Office (I hope I didn't leave anyone out...) They brought up all kinds of things that twisted SB 443 into something that it wasn't. SB 443 only concerns Public Records that are being destroyed in County Courthouses...not anything to do with Workmen's Comp., School anything, etc. Only to give "Notice" to the Public...the State Historical Soc, Historical & Genealogy Soc., down to the Public to have a chance to Preserve our MT History! I showed the House-State Admin. Committee today, 3 Old Record Books originally from Park County Courthouse, that were thrown away. These are: 1897 Voter Registration Book (name, age, birthplace, & address were listed for each voter). 1889 Court Ledger Book...that on the last page has the old 1889 to 1890 marriage records. 1904 City of Livingston Census Book (has names of all family members, occupation of head of household, ages, & addresses). These books were "rescued" by a Historian that happened by the trash cans by the Courthouse and were "saved" in our local Yellowstone Gateway Museum here in Park County....But many, many other records have been lost forever. Our Park County has thrown away the old MT. Marriage Application Books...as many other counties have done, because the Clerk of District Court Assoc. has said they have to... (None of the MT Old Marriage Application Books from about 1865/1889 to 1960s have been copied!). No Courthouse is willing to tell exactly what records have been destroyed, how many, what they are, etc. We don't have an accounting on anything. I had really thought it would be a simple thing to just have the Courthouses to "post" on the wall of the Courthouse the list of Records that they didn't want (or had no room for). And since most Courthouses around MT have e-mail (with more coming on-line everyday), they could just e-mail the State Historical Society of that list of unwanted Records. The State Historical Society (that does not want these records) would look on their lists of local Historical & Genealogy Societies for the area in and around the County that doesn't want the records...and the Public & MT State Historical & Genealogy Societies would all be notified! Very little work on the part of the Courthouses. No cost to the County. After the listings of the local Historical & Genealogy Societies' e-mails on the State Historical Society Library Computer database...very little work (not compared to the priceless preserving of history). If Montana does not come up with a simple plan like this to preserve our MT History NOW....a lot more RECORDS WILL BE DESTROYED!!!! MT Courthouses do not have the space for these Records...they will not be expanding their Courthouse Buildings. They say Micro-filming is too expensive. The Montana Clerk of District Court & Clerk & Recorder Assoc.s will continue to hire their lawyers & lobbyist to tell the MT Researcher what Records we can see, what Records that will no longer exist, while they and all of the Courthouse clerks will be the only ones to have Access, BUT NOT THE PUBLIC. Please call or e-mail these House of Representatives on the House-State Administration Committee.

RootsWeb accepts only plain text mail. That means that HTML mail, attachments, ``enriched text'', and a few other formats can't be sent to RootsWeb mailing lists. You can post your message if you send it in plain text; turn off the ``Post in HTML'' or ``Enriched Text'' features of your mail reader, or don't use any attachments. See http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm for instructions on turning off HTML in most of the popular mail programs, or ask your ISP's technical support line for help. We've had to institute this policy because of the problems that accompany these fancy mail formats. Some people don't have mail programs that are capable of processing the special file formats. Even among those who do, different mail programs handle these special formats in very different and confusing ways. HTML messages pose special problems to our digested mailing lists. Most of all, HTML-ified mail and attachments place a considerable burden on RootsWeb's overworked machines. All in all, mail in this format produces a lot of problems for RootsWeb's servers and subscribers, so we find it's best just to use plain text. -- The RootsWeb staff
