I seen that go across the TV Screen on that ticker tape and thought the same thing. The real problem with this is they probably had a Gov't grant of a million or 2 to come up with this stupid result.

Jeff Sez-------------- "The State of Maine has me guessing..." I have heard the term "Down in Mainers", and I think "Mainers" would be appropriate here.....E T.....

I am certain that CUSTOM and USAGE take priority over any set rule. I would hazard a guess that if the location name ends in a vowel, then the IAN ending or a variant would be called for. (Ian, An or similar suffix). Ethnic origins of the early settlers of an area would also have influence. (Indianans are called HOOSIERS.) I am sure that the ANsuffix comes from a Latin origin. since the Latin (Roman) and Greek system is so important in our political basis. The influence of German is also apparent. It was te MOST common root language in the colonial period, with the Swiss and German influx in our expansion period from 1709-1800. Kentuckian, Califotnian, Idahoan. However this also applies to some state ames that do not end in a vowel. Washingtonian, Oregonian, etc. The State of Maine has me guessing... -- Jeffery Scism, IBSSG http://blacksheep.rootsweb.com/ International Blacksheep Society of Genealogists Links to my Homepages: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~scismfam/ Genealogy is the art of the living haunting the dead....

I am going to put this out to the group. Below is a query I made to my local library and their response. As you can see they only looked up my specific examples and completely ignored the main question. Anyone have an idea? Are there certain rules for "nouns of origin?" Or are they just by local custom?

Online: response PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS E-MAIL Your question has been answered by Ask! Us Online, Multnomah County Library's online reference service. Your Question: Looking for rules (if they exist) for "nouns of origin". For example, why are people from Michigan called Michiganers and not Michiganians. Why are people from Oregon called Oregonians and not Oregonites. What do you call someone from Kansas or Idaho? Answers/Sources & Comments: According to the Oxford English Dictionary: Michiganian: 1813 Niles' Reg. V. 185 The Michiganians. 1835 [see WOLVERENE, -INE 3]. 1837 H. MARTINEAU Society in Amer. I. I. 65 The Michiganians were in the singular position of having a state government in full operation, while they were excluded from the Union. Michigander: A native or inhabitant of the State of Michigan. 1848 A. LINCOLN Coll. Works (1953) I. 509, "I mean the military tail you Democrats are now engaged in dove~tailing on to the great Michigander." Oregonian: Hence Oregonese, the people of Oregon; Oregonian a., belonging to Oregon; as n., a native or inhabitant of Oregon; Oregonly adv., after the manner of an Oregonian. 1848 E. BRYANT California xv. 197, I think the Oregonese had a little the advantage of us in this respect. a1861 T. WINTHROP John Brent (1862) xxii. 243 Armstrong's opinion was only my own, expressed Oregonly. 1863 Harper's Mag. Sept. 570/2 If one does not know the �lingo�, he will often be troubled in conversing with the Oregonians. Oregonite is an arsenide of nickel and iron, Ni2FeAs2, which occurs as white hexagonal crystals with a metallic lustre in Oregon and has been made artificially. "1960 Mineral. Abstr.

Hi, Sheepers! In our local paper was the following item from our nearby air force base: The Web site NACEC.org, which claims to provide emergency notifications in support of military families, is not sponsored by the U.S. government. NACEC.org requests service members' names, addresses, Social Securtiy number and family member informtion. The information potentially could be used for identity theft, intelligence gathering by foreign nations or terrorists, or pose a threat to service members, their families, and their privacy.

Ya, I did all the back up on a disk, before 2000, was one of the scard ones. Y2K thing. Yoyo

files appear to be missing to a program likely some setting was changed so that the main program isn't able to find the file because the program's pointer to that file was re-set. Go to the desktop. "START" "PROGRAMS" "WINDOWS EXPLORER" (NOT internet explorer) then select "my computer" as the starting point for the search. That way all partitions in a hard drive will be searched. then search for *.ftm or *.PAF or *.ged as needed. try and note the pathnames where all the files are. remember : backups zipped onto a floppy are worth hundreds of hours of typing.

I agree, it has to be in your puter somewhere, are you the only one who used it? Yoyo
