Hi Folks! I imagine that most of us doing genealogy probably use Windows 95 or Windows 98 as our computer operating system. This is something I ran across in the Eastman Genealogy Newsletter that you may find of some interest. * Microsoft Pulls Plug on Windows 95/98 Microsoft recently introduced Windows XP with a lot of fanfare. However, the company has been a bit quieter about its announcement to cancel support for older operating systems. Starting next month, Microsoft will begin pulling the plug on support for Windows 95 and Windows 98. Support is an expense for Microsoft. It can maximize its profits by shutting down support for older products and pushing everyone towards buying newer, supported Microsoft products. There's nothing new here hundreds of other software companies have made similar support decisions on older versions of their programs. Buried deep in the Windows XP announcements you can find a note that Microsoft will cease to provide support for MS DOS, Windows 3.xx, and Windows NT 3.5x in December, 2001. At the same time, support will become limited for Windows 95. In June 2002, Microsoft will cease to provide full support for Windows 98 and Windows NT version 4.0. This will leave the overwhelming majority of current Windows users without operating system support. So what's the big deal? You probably don't call Microsoft for support now. Any time you have a question you probably ask a friend, a relative, a co-worker or perhaps you post a message on one of the online forums. Since you never ask Microsoft for support, you might feel that this issue will not affect you. Keep in mind, however, that the companies that produce your favorite software depend upon Microsoft a lot more than you do. They not only have "how-to" questions, but they also depend upon bug fixes and support alerts. None of those will be forthcoming in the future for the older versions of Windows. Only Windows ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP will be supported. If these companies cannot obtain needed support, they may not be able to produce software for your system. I wouldn't be surprised to see software listed within the next year that is certified to operate only on Windows XP, 2000 and ME. All older versions of Windows will be unsupported. If you install a program on Windows 98 and then encounter a problem, the producing company may not be able to help you. Microsoft has moved to a standard 3-year product lifecycle now. That's all that anyone can expect to get by way of formal support from Microsoft for all their products. The company will offer limited "extended support" available another year; "extended support" is a synonym for "paid support" on a per-call basis. In other words, have a credit card handy when you call for assistance. One side note: Microsoft's "Desktop Product Lifecycle Guidelines" affect all of their products, not just operating systems. Similar policies have been implemented (or will soon be implemented) on Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Money, Flight Simulator and hundreds of other programs produced by the company. If you want to see when Microsoft will pull the plug on support for your software, look at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/lifecycleconsumer.asp and at http://support.microsoft.com/directory/discontinue.asp. -- Robert W.

I am trying to connect with the family of Joab Bumgardner of Sharp County Arkansas. In the 1880 census he has Emma, dau of James & Martha Bumgarner, Alice, Laura, Savana Taylor, children of daughter Elisha Ann Taylor, Joseph, Henry, William J. Bumgarner, children of son William & Caroline Bumgardner. Margaret, dau of James & Martha was married by this time to Joseph Franklin VanMeter. I am trying to find out what happened to Joab & his wife Elleanore, and why did Joab have guardianship of all of his grandchildren. James & William both resided in Woodruff county in the 1870's. I know James died about 1875 as I have probate records concerning the girls. Would like to find out what happened to this family. There were other brothers & sisters to James, William & Elisha Ann. The VanMeter part of this family moved to Tarrant county Texas in the late 1890's & settled in the Bedford-Hurst-Euless area where they still are found today. If you can help me piece togather this part of the family I would be so greatful. Unfortuntly there is no one left today in the family who can help me. Mary C.

Regarding Braxton Smith, the one I am looking for is the patriach, who was born in 1801 and died sometime between 1870 and 1880 in either Sharp or Fulton Co. I have the Ash Flat History Book which was a big help to me. I have used it to research the homestead histories, and apparently Braxton was in Sharp Co in 1870 at the age of 69, then is no more found in the censuses. His sons moved to Fulton County and homesteaded there so I am wondering if he was moved with them or died in Sharp County. I am a descendant of Benjamin Newton Smith, the brother of Leonard H. Smith. I don't know my family relationships to figure out what that makes us, distant cousins perhaps, but if you know of any family reunions that might bring me into contact with more relatives on the Smith side please let me know. Thanks. -- Connie Smith Kettle Falls, WA (northeast WA, Stevens County) Mail to:[email protected]

Hi Marcia: Sometime the name is put down the way it sounds to the census take. I have a Hezekiah, Hessie, Carl and Hez. Don't give up. Happy haunting and God Bless America, Marian

Thanks for the illustration, Sue. You definitely have a point! ;) I have a JACKSON connection, in a round-a-bout way, in Sharp County. I don't know Mr. JACKSON'S first name, but he married a 1st cousin of my father, Ester FOREMAN. Ester is still living, but her husband is deceased. Her line goes back to Albert FORMAN and Eva Pearl FERGUSON. Eva Pearl and my grandmother Sarah Ellen were sisters.

Hi Marcia, Well, that saves me trying to connect the two in AR, at any rate, doesn't it? ;-) Most names which are the same, only spelled differently, tend to have common roots back in time, don't you think? I am not researching that name, so don't know much about it, other than a few that have been collected in my FTM files. If one just had enough time, it could be fun to try that assumption, and research the entire name.
