Hi B. Keller, I have a little book that I love "SEA ROUTES TO THE GOLD FIELDS, by Oscar Lewis". I got it from Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/ some years ago. I just checked, they still have copies of this great little 250 page paper back book, available. There are several stories in this book about the ship "EDWARD EVERETT" and "THE BOSTON AND CALIFORNIA MINING AND TRADING JOINT STOCK COMPANY". I did not find your title... The accounts, in this little book, of this trip you mention are VERY interesting.... describing the trip as well as the planning for it... Might be just what you want.... I looked on Alibris Books site http://www.alibris.com/ for the book you specifically mention ("edited by Carroll D. Hall in 1933") and found there are sever books co-written by Oscar Lewis (author of my book) and Carroll D. Hall, the editor you mention - I found this link interesting... I did not find the book you mention the title of listed here.. I also searched for your CARROLL D. HALL on Google http://www.google.com/ and got lots of hits. I did not check them all out - but you should... you might find some way to contact this person, if your are lucky. AND a fun one..!!! - http://www.pt5dome.com/NYWTrib01171849.htm Scroll down to find A PICTURE OF your ship. The EDWARD EVERETT. >>AND..... THE PASSENGER LIST OF THIS TRIP..!!! Hope this helps you a little bit...

Hi Listers, I am wondering if anyone has heard of "Journal of a Voyage From Boston to San Francisco in 1849" edited by Carroll D. Hall, Redwood City, California, 1933. Journal written by a young man who sailed from Boston for California as a member of The Boston and California Mining and Trading Joint Stock Company, organized to seek its fortune in the newly discovered gold fields. It is a straightforward account of the voyage around the Horn.........on the ship Edward Everett arrived San Francisco in July 1849. B. Keller, Carmel Valley, CA

Just contact the LDS at Salt Lake City and ask if they would like a donation of x years reseach into y and z families? If they say yes, which they probably will, send everything off to them. That way it isn't lost and it can be sorted out either by another member of the family who is interested or a member of staff. Your friend doesn't need permission to destroy any or all of the research. She can just do it. I would imagine that her late mother had it organised even if your friend doesn't realise it. If there are books on genealogy, offer them to the local library. I could sort it out, but if your friend's mother was researching longer than I have been (40+ years) then there is going to be a *lot* of material if the amount I have is anything to go by. It would be far too expensive to parcel it all up and send it to the UK.

Thanks to all who chimed and offered ideas. You have given me thought for my own research, but I need something practical for my friend. Obviously since she is not interested in genealogy asking her to input the information on rootsweb, or donating it to a library is not an option for her. What she is looking for is either "permission" to get rid of a bunch of the stuff or some help on deciding what to keep. What she needs is a professional organizer who specializes in genealogy that could help her sort through the stuff and tell her what to do with it all. They would have to be knowledgeable in what types of repositories are out there that she could donate information to and skilled in determining if the information her mother collected is in a form the repository wants. (Hey, this could become the next niche job!) Any ideas if such a person exists? Or where they can be found? One of the things I was thinking about doing with my own research is to condense into something patable my family would enjoy and relate to. There is a fabulous digital scrapbooking site (there are several but this is my favorite) called _www.picaboo.com_ (http://www.picaboo.com) . It is my goal to scan old photos into my computer and make a photo album about my ancestors. I am not contemplating anything heavy duty with citations and such, but lots of pictures with captions and the basics of the pictured with their name, birth, marriage and death dates. The great thing about this site is that once you have entered the information you can order a hardbound, thin volume of the book that won't take up too much space on a book shelf. The other advantage of a digital scrapbook is that you can e-mail the book to others. (It's also a good way to get those pictures of your last vacation into a "photo album" !) Does anyone have any other ideas? Alyce C Traverso Walnut Creek, CA In a message dated 4/6/2008 10:05:31 A.M.

In 1943 and again 1950 Federal work applications, my Grandfather, Walter C Phillips, lists his High School as J Mission in San Francisco (1917-1920) Would anyone know know if there was such a high school and if so what does the "J" stand for? Thank You in advance Monte LeBlanc

Specify in your will that you wish your research to go to a specific relative *but* in the event of them not wishing to take charge of or continue with your research it should be donated to the LDS or other designated repository. You could also consider donating it, or a copy of it, to your local family history society, the State/County Archive. Think of all the places where you go to do research and consider donating to one of them. Check with the various repositories to make sure they are willing to take deposits. Some will welcome them, others won't. I'm in England, so copies of my research is going to the Society of Genealogists and the relevant parts to the many County Record Offices where I have family. There's also a copy going to the LDS. I have a website and there is provision in my will for funds to continue the site after I have joined my ancestors.

Alyce Also, have you thought of sending your family group records to the Mormon Church in Salt Lake? You do not have to be of that faith in order for them to accept your information. The information now goes into the Pedigree Research Files. These are put on disc's. When your information is process, which mine took nearly a year, they will send you the Disc Volume number. Then if you go to Family Search looking for that Surname, the disc number will show. Also, have you considered sending some of your information to a Genealogy Society in the area of where your family resided? Some Society's will accept this information. You also might start sharing your pictures with other family members. At least that way, in the future hopefully one part of the family will have kept those treasurer items. I guess, for all us, there is no guarantee. Good Luck. This is a dilemma for all of us to ponder and solve.

I was hoping this group might know of a book or article on this particular problem as all family historians will be facing it one day (or at least our descendants will be!) I was talking to a friend today whose mother was the family historian and genealogist. She had traced both her mother's and father's family lines back to the Civil War and beyond. When she died she left all of her hard won research behind to children who do not share her passion for genealogy and are overwhelmed by the volume of stuff. Of course my friend was suffering pangs of guilt because she didn't want to throw it all out but I could tell she didn't want to keep all of it either. Of course as a family historian myself, even without seeing what she has, I know that there is important research that some descendant some time in the future will find valuable. Plus there may be others out there searching the same family lines that will find the research valuable. Is there a "Goodwill" for genealogical research that she could donate her mother's research to? Her dilemma made me think of all my research neatly filed away in my file cabinet and in archival boxes in my closet. Will I end up burdening my children with too much stuff that they won't know what do with? Perhaps now is the time to decide how we want our descendents to dispose of it or try to condense it down into a manageable size. I am sure other family historians have faced this same problem so there must be a good solution, and if not maybe we can put our creative brains together and comes up with one.

I know the Allen County Public Library, in Fort Wayne, Indiana (which has the second-largest genealogy collection in the nation), will accept donations of genealogy research in some cases. I do not know if any restrictions apply. Why don't you contact the reference staff in the Genealogy Center?

Congratulations to Pam and Ron on their wedding in January. Julie **************Planning your summer road trip? Check out AOL Travel Guides. (http://travel.aol.com/travel-guide/united-states?ncid=aoltrv00030000000016)

I've "rescued" two old photographs belonging to the FUSSELMAN Family. The first is a photograph of Frank & Angeline FUSSELMAN. There is no studio or location indicated on the photograph, however, I am guessing that it was taken sometime in the 1890's and that the couple was in their 30's at the time it was taken. The second photograph is one of Lucille & Aryl FUSSELMAN taken at the W. R. Baker Studio in Warren, OH. The second photograph was probably taken in the early 1900's with the two children appearing to be 3-6 years old at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to gather some limited information regarding this family: Lucile Elizabeth FUSSELMAN b. 24 Nov 1905 in Detroit, MI, married Edwin O. HARSHMAN on 6 Mar 1938 in Warren, OH, and died 2 Nov 1950 in North Lima, OH Aryl G. FUSSELMAN b. 22 Sept 1908 in OH, died 14 May 1972 in San Francisco, CA I am hoping to locate someone from this FUSSELMAN Family so that these wonderful old photographs can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

I am searching for pictures of my mother and aunt who graduated from high school c. 1930. All photos were lost in 1962. Margaret Cyrilla Kilgannon would have graduated from Presentation HS c. 1928-1930. Mary Verna Kilgannon would have graduated from St. Rose Academy 1929-1930. I would like to borrow the books if possible, and will extract the student's names for the SF Genealogy list. I have done some others for them two years ago. I will pay all costs, and will treat them like gold, and will return them promptly in exchange for being allowed to copy Cyrilla and Verna's pictures.
