Dear Cook Cousins: Thanks for passing the letter from CArolyn. For me, I am beginning a search through the local LDS Church library. The tips are just what I needed. Thanks again. AUGCOOK

I'm passing this along from another GREAT ROOTSWEB list! Hope it helps. Dick <<Message: I just returned from a meeting at the Family History Center where I volunteer. I now have the true scoop on the LDS records that will be available online= .First of all there are several different types of records that are kept at all Family History Centers. There is never a charge for use of any of this information (nominal fees for printouts). The main files are the Ancestral File, the International Genealogical Index, and the Family History Library Catalogue. The Ancestral file is basically no different than the disks sold by family tree maker containing ancestor charts. The info on these charts can be submitted by anyone whither or not they ar= e a member of the church. The International Genealogical Index information can only be submitted by members. It consists of Individual data that lists birthdates, place of birth and parents. There is a marriage index that gives date and place of marriage. And lastly a parent index which lists all children in a particular family. The info is obviously only as good as the person who submitted it to the file. We tell people to use the data as a starting point only and NOT to take it as the absolute proof. When anything is submitted to ancestral file, you can automatically find out who submitted it by hitting a source key. The persons name and address will be shown. The same is not true for the IGI. You need to order the microfilm in order to find out who the submitter was. The church is currently working very hard at extracting as much information as possible from original records. It is an ongoing process that is checked and double checked for accuracy. As the data becomes available it is distributed to the libraries, once again at no charge to patrons. Neither of these files are going to be released online, at least not at this time. What is going to be released is the Family History Library Catalogue. It will be the most current version, more current than any library now has in it's possession. Basically the FHLC is a complete listing of every record in th= e possession of the Mormon libraries located anywhere in the world. You can search these records several ways. Locality, surname, film/fiche number/ and author. By finding out what is available you can then decide whether you might like to order the kinformation. Not everything is available for order. Man= y living people do not allow their books to be microfilmed. However, a library in your area may have the book listed. You can find that out through the catalogue. I have utilized this catalogue extensively throughout the years= .I can save a lot of money if I discover that a film I am interested in ordering is in a nearby FHC. Now then, just when will it go online?? Good question. We were told "sometime in March." So it could be online as early as tomorrow, but maybe not. Don'= t be discouraged if it is not there tomorrow, just check back again. It is going to be online for about a month to see how it works. I have no idea what the plans are for future release. Anyway, you now have the facts straight from the top as I was told them at our meeting. The address will be Familysearch.org Hope this helps, CArolyn>>

Went to the site, but there's nothing there! Gail

I had the same problem and asked the person who sent the info about it but received no reply.

Has anyone been able to find the site?

I have read all the e-mail re "The Worm", printed all the ways to get rid of it but still don't understand exactly what it does to your computer. I have asked several people and have gotten several different answers. Please explain the consequences to an illiterate computer user.

What years are these? 1700's/1800's or 1900's?

I found this message on the BRETHREN list and thought I should send it along to this list. Could somebody please help Gail find her Groffs? Incidentally, when I was growing up in Lincoln, a Groff was our veterinarian. I am sure he retired long ago, but there may still be Groff listings in the book. Barbara I am interested in finding more about Elizabeth GROFF born July 31, 1845 in Lancaster County, PA. She married Samuel W. Mohler (Born July 4, 1850) on January 11, 1874. They stayed in the area for some time and had most of their children there. They moved to Nebraska where the most of the children grew up. Elizabeth and Samuel were Dunkards and German was their primary language. Elizabeth died May 17, 1935 in NE, Samuel died December 4, 1943 in NE. Interested in trying to find others researching the GROFFs. Thanks, Gail Holdeman gaile@sherbtel.net ______________________________ --------------------

In one place it sayes that he was born in Allen Springs, Allen Co, KY when he was born until joining the military - it states that his date of birth was 25 Oct 1890. Another piece of paper states that he enlisted at Jefferon Barracks,MO and was born in Douglas Arizona - Organization Co H 18 inf * I think he was stationed there and born in KY, Service # R 105 639 and ssn 401 52 5168 - widow - Mrs. Mary Kirby Cook, Alvaton Warren Co, KY - died 17 Jan 1959 Memphis Tennessee - He had green eyes,dark brown hair, was 5 feet 10 1/2 inches in height. ..

Did anyone receive my last message about Edward H. Cook of KY? Barbara in CA

I think that I filled all of the requests for a jpg copy of the War of Rebellion Index page - a wonderful Cook researcher is going to type it up for us so it will be available at a later date on the web pages. If I missed you and can't wait for the text copy - you can e-mail me - I'm not the most organized researcher and don't want to miss anyone. bye for now - we will add more pages to the Jackson Purchase Area Cook Web pages later today.
