Hi Gang- I,m Back-- i gave you the wrong address for the toolbox, here is the correct one http://www.genealogytoolbox.com/ here are a few other good ones The American immigration History center http://www.ellisisland.org/indexhtml another good one to read old hand writing www.firstct.com/fv/oldhand.html another good source is http://www.gensource.com.ifoundit/indext.htm If you beginners want more, this old dog has many, if you do not just say so.

Hi Gang, twas a beautiful day here no rain, so so so sick of rain, actually got to plant flowers.. On the film, got half way through 1803 , trying to get it all copied before it goes back. How are the rest of you doing? I do not hear anything, you all must be too busy, as I see you have over 1100 names in the data base now. GOOD WORK . I will be feeding information in for quite some time as there are about 4 pages of local news in each issue and 4 for each month, 1802,03,04 are big papers ,so check for new names all the time. Betty Hancock, I got your letter, was not necessary to reimburse, I do not want reimbursed for what I mailed out. thanks is enough. love Abigail How about some chatter its too quite with Steve gone.when I turn this box on and do not see any chatter I keep thinking that I bounced off again. so how about it? For the new Genealogist out there www.toolbox.com is a great site to learn how.

Hi Pam...a lot of the people I saw in the Amador Dispatch were listed as just coming from England. The ones that had a desiginated area were all Cornwall, except one. Can't remember what that one was...started with an S & ended with a shire. Lots of help huh? Jackie in Jackson

Art -- When will the database be accessible to those who aren't submitters? Judy in Winnemucca, NV [email protected]

I've just published my family tree at http://members.xoom.com/Cyber_Wiz/ My PERKINS and SMITH families from Amador Co. are included. Bob Juch

Hi guys...scanning my notes from the Amador Dispatch looking for something else, I ran across this: Was the July 6 1900 newspaper & was an obituary on a Mrs. Adams who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. DuFrense. Her husbands name was Arthur Adams & she had children Henry Ekel, John Ekel beside the daughter. Article lists those present at time of death & one was her grandson, Eddie Bawden. Jackie in Jackson

I have fixed a small bug in the database that prevented a search being done when using a first name. Now you can search the database using the first name, the surname, or a combination of the two. This should make it easier for you to find a bad entry that needs modification or deletion. We're over 1100 entries in the database now!

Hi Amador group: In case you don't hear anything from me for the next three weeks is because I am going to spend that time with my sister and her husband in the Puget Sound area. I can sort of imagine how many e-mailings will be waiting when I log on upon my return. Fantastic Steve... over 1100 citations. You are doing a great job and I for one of many am very thankful for your hard work. Will be looking forward to see what's "here" when I get back.

Abigail Art, you did not answer my e-mail where are you??????

I wonder if other English descendants who showed up in Jackson are from the same area of England. I haven't traced anyone back to Europe, but have Burkes and and others which sound Enlgish. --pam -----Original Message----- From: David E.

Bob Juch, What is wrong with giving your data to someone thats going to write a book, thats where we get most of our data from, it only helps future generations, unless your going to write a book using the same data, ? ???? I know I sure go through all the books in our genealogy library, and I do not care who wrote them or how much money they made, I just care if the information is accurate. Abigail

Art, started sending articles, check them out and let me know what I am doing right and wrong, hope they are OK, if I put a question mark behind a name it is because some are very faded and hard to read and I am not sure of spelling. Abigail p.s. sure could use a spell check on that form HA! HA!
