what states use the term "parish" rather than "county"? 1 - Louisiana 2 - ?? 3 - ?? Are there any other terms used to refer to counties? For example, what are the differences in South Carolina between district and county? .... I assume district was want the subdivisions were called prior to SC becoming a state. ... and I can't remember, but I've heard another name used for some of the old SC districts. tnx, Tom Cloud

Tom -- I can't come up with anything else. I think the libraries are called "Family Research Centers." Do the Mormons have a regional development (or missionary) program?

Here is an uneducated guess. The US Postal Service has divided our country into nine regions. A zip coded mail distribution center is located in each region. I'm thinking that "rdc" refers to Zip Code Regional Distribution Center.

How about "regional distribution center"? If you don't like that, I'll guess again. BTW, did I leave any unanswered questions about web site maintenance preferences?

The Bakersfield Californian http://www.bakersfield.com/04-04-2004/obits/story/4609433p-4657173c.html Okie Varner Jacks Feb. 14, 1916 Mar. 30, 2004 Okie was born in Harrison, Arkansas, the daughter of Bessie Mae Cloud and William Alvah Varner. She moved to Taft in 1918 with her parents and five sisters, and it was here where she lived her formative years. She graduated from Taft Union High School and Taft Junior College, and then attended U.C. Berkeley. She returned to Taft and married William Carl Jacks in Las Vegas. They were blessed with 56 years together until his passing in 1993. They both worked very hard to realize their dream of traveling the world and were able to fulfill this dream with trips to Europe, Canada and Mexico. Okie was very active in community affairs. Until her death, she continued to be a member of the Taft Emblem Club, the Taft Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star and the American Legion Auxiliary. She also served as the first woman president of the West Side Childrens Camp Association. Through her tenure as president, Mrs. Jacks visited all district elementary schools, presenting film and comme! ntary on Camp Condor activities to promote the camps benefits. She also appeared before civic clubs to request assistance in obtaining camperships for children in need. Successful in this endeavor, she was able to send numerous children to camp that otherwise would not have had the means to afford it. To those of us who knew and loved her, Okie was a woman with an enormously strong will, a fair disposition and a compassioned heart. She was friendly and outgoing and willing to help those around her without hesitation. Every morning she would read the words kept framed on her bedroom wall which read, I shall pass this way but once. Any good that I may do, any kindness that I may show, let me not defer it not deter it, for I shall not pass this way again. Okie took heed in these words to remind her that there was always a way to help others. She was held in the highest esteem by her family and friends because she lived her life true to this sentiment. She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Susan and George Sangster of Stockton; her granddaughter, Shelly Scott of San Diego; her granddaughter, Shannon Scott of Stockton; and her great-granddaughter, Heather Sanderson, also of Stockton. Okie is also survived by two of her five sisters, Oma Ryall of Taft and Corinne Evans of Bakersfield; along with several nieces and one nephew. She is preceded in death by her sisters, Lucille Brown, Bernice Tanner and Maxine Waldner, who passed away in 2001, 2002 and 2003 respectively. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, April 10, 2004, at 11:00 a.m., in the Erickson & Brown Funeral Home Chapel. Visitation will be held on Friday, April 9, 2004, from 3:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., at the Erickson & Brown Funeral Home. Okie will be cremated and placed next to her husband, Carl, in the West Side District Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the charity of your choice.

WANTING TO KNOW WHAT HAPPEND TO DAUGHTER MAGGIE L. CLOUD, THANK YOU

Dear cousins, The dna project offers us a never before available opportunity to find new directions for our research and to find answers some of us have been seeking for decades. Please take the project seriously and encourage every male Cloud descendant you know to participate -- this includes people who aren't on this email list or who don't receive the CFA Journal (i.e. they don't know about it). (You can assure them there will be no violation of their privacy or any release of any personal information.) If we don't get enough participants, then the useful information will be limited. The more people who join, the more datapoints we'll have and the more progress we'll make in knocking down those brick walls in our research. There are now many successful surname projects, and they got that way by having a large group of participants. If you know of someone that should be sent an invitation by mail, please send their name and address to the dna project chairperson, Raymond Shirley <rshirley@icx.net>. sincerely, Tom Cloud P.S. If you are confident of your ancestry, we ESPECIALLY need you to participate. We need your information as a reference point to help those who cannot find a link to a line. The known lines will provide the necessary "standards" for everyone else, and you may well discover some new information about your own line.

Several male Clouds representing four branches of the family have ordered their DNA test kits. This is a great beginning but we hope that every branch of the Cloud family will be represented in the project. The test result will be sent to each subscriber in about seven weeks. FamilyTreeDNA will notify the two parties when genetic matches are found.

The Cloud Family Association has launched one of its most important genealogical projects to date. Our goals are to: (1) identify genetic matches among Cloud families living in various locations in the USA and other countries, (2) prove or disprove theories regarding Cloud ancestors, (3) penetrate brick walls in our research and (4) validate the research of various branches of the Cloud family. You are not required to be a member of the Cloud Family Association to participate in this project. It is open to all who have connection to the Cloud surname.

Dear Cloud list members ... I respond to the email below because I don't want anyone to be alarmed by it and/or to think they are getting spammed through the Cloud rootsweb email list. **** That said, let me assure you -- and WARN YOU! You CANNOT get a virus or other computer malfunction by participating in a rootsweb forum -- because all email here is "text only". You _CAN_ get a virus by following a link that may be sent to this list. So BE CAREFUL about following links or opening attachments (you cannot get attachments from rootsweb posts). The purpose of this list is to share information about our Cloud surname heritage and this email was inappropriate to that purpose. I assume this was a simple mistake or a spammer who forged an email address.
