Good evening to all, I would like to wish you all a Very Happy Valentines Day. I hope your day will be a very special day with your family and or loved ones. Sincerely, Addie List Admin

From: "Sally Pavia" <sallypavia2001@yahoo.com> February 15, 2005 Do sure and watch; check your local PBS channel for correct time .. here in the Phoenix area it's on at 8:00pm. Sally Never have a few pieces of animal hide been subject to such meticulous and expensive attention. But these aren't just any old pieces of parchment. They are America's priceless Charters of Freedom: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. On "Saving the National Treasures," NOVA tells how a seemingly simple project became a five-year, multimillion-dollar technological odyssey. With the newly restored documents now on display at the National Archives, NOVA offers the exclusive behind-the-scenes story of how a team of specialists created the gleaming high-tech encasements for the Charters, which have experienced flaking ink, improper storage, and overexposure to light during their long and sometimes perilous history. "Saving the National Treasures" not only gives viewers a fascinating glimpse of cutting-edge preservation technology, it also explores the background and meaning of these documents, particularly the Declaration of Independence, whose significance changed over time from a simple catalog of grievances against the English king to a stirring proclamation of the rights of all people. The Declaration of Independence is also the most imperiled of the founding Charters. Penned with the purpose of officially dissolving colonial ties with Great Britain in 1776, the document led a fugitive existence throughout the American Revolution, traveling from town to town in a strongbox with other records of the Continental Congress, often barely ahead of advancing British troops. After the Revolution, the Declaration was almost loved to death by the new nation (see <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/charters/damage.html> The Damage Done). An engraver made a copy in the early 1800s, probably by moistening the original and transferring some of its ink to a clean sheet in order to engrave a copper plate. Later, the original hung for decades opposite a sunny window, further fading the already disappearing text (see <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/charters/fading.html> Fading Away). In 1952, the Declaration of Independence was put on display at the National Archives along with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights-all sealed in airtight enclosures of tinted glass filled with helium gas. The encasements were unsurpassed when they were created, but over time they have developed unanticipated problems. The glass began to deteriorate and form tiny crystals, with unknown effects on the documents inside. NOVA captures the consultations of a blue-ribbon panel appointed to preserve the Charters using whatever technology necessary. The project goes hand-in-hand with a complete redesign of the Rotunda at the National Archives, where more than one million visitors a year view the documents. Given the stakes and the range of disciplines represented on the panel-from archivists to conservators to scientists and engineers-there is a healthy debate about what course to take. Will specially milled titanium and aluminum frames hold a vacuum? Should the humidity inside the frames be controlled with silica gel, which has proven trouble free in similar applications? How far should conservators go in repairing physical damage to the Charters? A riveting moment comes after the decisions are made, the frames are built to perfection, and the team begins the painstaking process of removing the documents from their 1950s mounts and making them ready for their new metal boxes designed to protect against every imaginable natural and human-made disaster. Only then do we see the Declaration of Independence out in the open on a table for the first time in half a century, much as it was over 200 years ago when a group of brave patriots took quills in hand to affix their signatures. But the crowning moment comes in the refurbished Rotunda, with the Charters of Freedom in their lustrous cases (see <http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/charters/case.html> Case Closed), as new American citizens from every corner of the globe swear allegiance, not to a ruler or a piece of geography but to a set of ideas-words written with quills on the skins of animals, more than two centuries ago. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Good evening to all, We have had so many new comers join the list, that I wanted to take the time to welcome them to our list. Because I have been asked by the new comers to genealogy and the net, I felt it necessary to point out some very important things as we were all novice in the beginning and I do know that some of the new members are newbies to research. Below are a few things I personally feel as a genealogists / researcher are very important and will make your research easier and most of all, accurate..... If any others on the list have any suggestions, please do feel free to let us know. 1. Only take the information you locate on the Internet or anywhere and use as a tool to help you with your research. There is a lot of in accurate information listed on the Internet. 2. Always try to document your lineage to the best of your ability. The more documentation you have the more accurate your heritage will be. 3. Keep track of all your sources and note them in your research / genealogy program. List the census page, year, state and town. Do the same thing with books, film or fiche. 4. Make copies of all census data, book data including title, author and page including the information. 5. Keep an open mind as to the spelling of our shared surname and the geographical area they came from. Remember that many ancestors added and or dropped letters from our name when they emigrated. And geographical area's changed through the years. 6. Always start with what you know and work backwards to your ancestors. Ask your relatives and loved ones all about your family and gather their stories. Once our loved ones are gone, it is to late. Record what you DO know.... 6. Research what you want to know and keep a log of what you have done. Keep family group sheets on each family and track you heritage on a lineage chart. That will let you know if your missing a date, spouse or geographical area with your ancestor(s). 7. Look around your home for old family letters, bibles and photos. Search them for names, dates and places. Look for deeds, marriage records, death records etc.... 8. Search military records. They are sometimes loaded with information. 9. Libraries and cemeteries are other good places to search for ancestors. Check for books in your local libraries that mention their names. Check to see if they have a Newspaper Collection of old issues of the town's paper. 10. As you have conducted your research you may have discovered some "family treasures"? You might consider placing them in a file drawer, cabinet, or other secure location to share with other family members similarly to your publications. 11 Check and double check your data. If you publish your data, make certain it is accurate and well documented. This will prevent bad / inaccurate information being published, rather it be in a book form or on the internet. Contact your local hobby store and inquire into learn where to obtain archival papers, binders and enclosures that will protect these documents for later generations. 12. Always keep an open mind with your research. Always thank anyone whom helps you. Always offer to help them in any way you can and don't forget to offer them something for their time and services. Most of us will do it because we love to help others. 13. Remember RootsWeb has many area's and forums which cover just about everything you will need to further your research. You can find any list you would be interested in by visiting RootsWeb at http://www.rootsweb.com/ I hope the above helps all newbies to genealogy and research. I am certain there are things I have failed to mention, however there are many experienced researchers on our list. Best wishes to all, Addie List Admin Just Remember: VOLUNTEERS are not paid. Not because they are worthless But because they are priceless

12-12-04 @ 1145 EST As a follow-up to the message sent yesterday regarding this subject, the Senate Bill S. 2845 has three suffixes to it. The one of specific interest is at this URL: http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c108:3:./temp/~c1081PECkY:: Scrolling down to Section 3061 - Definitions, will take you to the area where the additional suggested definition be added: Sec. 3061(b)(1)(A) (i i i ) - "who is alive on the date that access to their birth certificate is requested." This addition would clarify that the legislation applies ONLY to birth certificates of CURRENTLY LIVING PERSONS. If you do not know your U.S. Senator's e-mail address, you can find it at http://www.senate.gov/ Carl C. ORIGINAL e-MAIL New Bill Will Close Records to Genealogists HR10, which was mentioned in the 13 October issue of RootsWeb Review, has passed out of the U.S. House of Representatives and is now part of S.2845. The amendments suggested by David Rencher in his letter to the bill's sponsor, Congressman J. Dennis Hastert, were NOT incorporated into this legislation. Thus, the terms of HR10 will now be considered by the Senate, as part of S.2845. If S.2845 becomes law, as now written, family historians will face some real challenges in attempts to obtain birth records, even on long- deceased individuals. Specifically, what genealogists need to do is suggest to their lawmakers the addition of Sec. 3061(b)(1)(A)(iii) that would read: "who is alive on the date that access to their birth certificate is requested." This addition would clarify that the legislation (soon to be law) applies ONLY to birth certificates of CURRENTLY LIVING PERSONS. If you do not know your U.S. Senator's e-mail address, you can find it at http://www.senate.gov/ This bill can be found online at http://thomas.loc.gov/ Put in S.2845 (in the bill number window) and then select item No. 3; and go to Subtitle B--Identity Management Security; Chapter 2--Improved Security for Birth Certificates. (It's a bit deeper than that actually, go to Title III, then the Improved security shows up) (mailto:mgreenhill@tconl.com)

Good evening to all, A Heads Up on the New England Historical & Genealogical Register (NEHGS). They will be opening their database soon to anyone for a short period of time. I would imagine the site will be packed with people trying to log in and look at the data. "A Feast of Ancestors! Enjoy Free Access to the Register Online Over Thanksgiving Weekend! NEHGS is pleased to offer free access to its New England Historical and Genealogical Register database on NewEnglandAncestors.org over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend! Normally only available to NEHGS members, the Register database will be accessible to everyone from Thursday, November 25 through Sunday, November 28, 2004. We encourage all NEHGS members to spread the word about this offering, and we hope that those of you who are not members find a veritable feast of ancestors in the Register database! Published quarterly since 1847, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register is the flagship journal of American genealogy and the oldest journal in the field. The online database includes issues from 1847 to 1994. The Register has featured articles on a wide variety of topics since its inception, including vital records, church records, tax records, land and probate records, cemetery transcriptions, obituaries, and historical essays. Authoritative compiled genealogies have been the centerpiece of the Register for more than 150 years. Thousands of New England families have been treated in the pages of the journal and many more are referenced in incidental ways throughout. The articles in the Register range from short pieces correcting errors in print or solving unusual problems to larger treatments that reveal family origins or present multiple generations of a family. Look for details on how to obtain free access to the Register in a special eNews bulletin to be sent out Wednesday, November 24. A link will also be available on that date on the home page of our website, www.NewEnglandAncestors.org."

Good morning to all, I would personally like to take this time to thank all whom have served and gave for our country to allow us the freedom we have today. I would also like to say thank you to all whom have family members fighting for us as we speak and know they are in our prayers. From our home to yours, Happy Veterans Day!! Best wishes, Addie - List Admin

shared by Sally Rolls pavia with FHSA. EXPERT ADVICE: HARD COPY Got copyright conundrums? Here's a quick-and-dirty way to tell whether that old diary or photo is covered. For more genealogist- friendly copyright advice, see the December 2004 Family Tree Magazine, on newsstands Oct. 19. Due to complicated, changing laws, copyright duration depends on when a work was created and if it was published. Here are simplified guidelines (although exceptions apply). See www.copyright.cornell.edu/training/.Hirtle_Public_Domain.htm for details: * Works published before Jan. 1, 1923, are in the public domain (meaning anyone can use, adapt or copy them freely). * Works published between 1923 and 1963 were protected for 28 years--but the copyright could be renewed for 47 years, then extended for another 20. If the copyright wasn't renewed, the work is in the public domain. About 85 percent of works published during this period aren't protected anymore. * If a work was published between 1964 and 1977, the copyright lasts a total of 95 years. * Any published or unpublished work created on or after Jan. 1, 1978, is protected for the life of the creator plus 70 years. * A work created before Jan. 1, 1978, and published between that date and Dec. 31, 2002, is protected for the life of the creator plus 70 years or until Dec. 31, 2047, whichever is greater. Confused? You can assume that anything published within the past 75 years is protected by copyright.

Good afternoon, For those history buffs with ancestors whom fought in the Civil War, there is an interesting documentary on the History Channel this evening. I watched the movie Andersonville, and by doing so was able to locate my ancestor Lyman Morris whom was held prisoner and died there. One never knows, you may be able to locate one of your ancestors if they were there. Addie List Admin

So many have loved this particular poem. I wanted to share it with any who haven't seen it yet. MY ANCESTOR GRAND MOTHER I search for you yet do not even know your name I press on praying my efforts will prove fruitful the records do not list you or the other women who have lived and loved and laughed, gave birth, and died, the records perpetrate the myth that you were never here but I stand whole and bare my soul and vow to find you as I live I search for you in old records, in churches, at the Embassy, in small dimly lit rooms in the back of obscure libraries and archives and pour over barely readable handwritten ledgers with magnifying glass and flashlight I live on mainly toast these days there isn't time for meals or much sleep feeling as I always do, on the very brink of discovery Perhaps THIS will be the day I find the one seemingly insignificant clue, which will lead me to you although I did not find you listed in the Census Records I am not deterred, you may turn up yet, on an Immigration or Naturalization list somewhere perhaps, or maybe tucked away inside some bank of vital statistics, long forgotten like so many others, your name having become lost over the long years Your name could be lying even now amidst the millions of documents stored and locked away safeguarded in the bowels of a giant warehouse all stopped up from apathetic crowds who have long ceased their visits your precious name, lying just inside a myriad of records packed in tight, packed in to stay never guessing I would come My Poetry Website is at; (Gen and other poems) http://users.rosenet.net/poetryandroses/ My Genealogy Website is at; (check for your surnames) http://www.gaia.edu/genclass/srose/

Humor as we research. Much to be said in agreement with the following comments. almost factual! from another list.. thanks Richard. glorybee I think some of our ancestors definitely applied these rules ~~ ANCESTORS GUIDE TO NAMING 1) Thou shalt name your male children: James, John, Joseph, Abel, Richard, Thomas or William. 2) Thou shalt name your female children: Elizabeth, Mary, Martha, Maria, Sarah, Ida, Virginia or Mae. 3) Thou shalt leave NO trace of your female children. 4) Even after naming your children using the above lists, thou shalt never refer to them by those names again; instead, thou shalt call them by strange nicknames, such as: Ike, Eli, Polly, Dolly, and Sukey. 5) Thou shalt not use any middle names on ANY legal documents or census reports and whenever possible, use only initials on legal documents. 6) Thou shalt learn to sign all documents illegibly so that your surname can be spelled, or misspelled in various ways: Tipper, Topper, Hopper, Tucker, Tapper. 7) Thou shalt, after no more than 3 generation, make sure that all family records are lost, misplaced, burned in a court house fire, lost at sea or buried so that NO future trace of them can be found. 8) Thou shalt propagate misleading legends, rumors and vague innuendo regarding your place of origin: a) You MAY have come from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales ... or Iran. b) You MAY have American Indian Ancestry. c) You MAY be descended from one of three brothers that came over. 9) Thou shalt leave no cemetery records, or headstones with legible names; nor will any of the dates thereon match those in any public records. 10) Thou shalt leave no family bible with records of birth, marriage or death. 11) Thou shalt ALWAYS flip thy name around. If born James Albert, thou must make the rest of thy records in the name of Albert, AJ, JA, AL, Bert, Bart or Fred. 12) Thou must also flip thy parent's names around when making reference to them, although "Unknown" is an acceptable alternative. 13) Thou shalt name all generations of children with the identical first names, as will all of your brothers so that all cousins are named the same.

Finding Documentation at a Cemetery by Christine Sievers If you are unable to find the death certificate of your ancestor, cemeteries can offer an abundance of information. Sometimes, it will include all or almost all of the facts found on a death certificate, and even more. Obtaining this information for your first dead male ancestor, will give you the skills you need when going further back in time where cemeteries are older and vital records are harder to find. More importantly, we never have too much documentation on our ancestors. Whether you have the death certificate or not, a visit to your ancestor's grave may be the only concrete object that remains to tell of his or her existence. This is sadly true for many of our women ancestors. As a genealogist, you will find that at the site of your ancestor's final resting place, he or she will become more alive to you. Then, you may be bitten by the cemetery bug and begin planning your family picnic's and trips around graveyards. Before you visit the cemetery, there is some planning to do. First, call the to find the hours that it is opened, and when a good time would be to talk to someone about the burial records. Large, modern cemeteries are busy places; so you will need to be patient and polite. Identify who you are, your relationship to the deceased, and that you are a genealogist. For the remainder of the article: http://genealogytoday.com/columns/MYtree/040831.html =========================================================== Searching for Obituaries by Christine Sievers This article continues on with your search for the death certificate of the first dead male in the line that you are researching. This sounded like an easy task, but you may have run into a stumbling block that you didn't expect. You checked out where in your relative's state the death certificate is supposed to be filed, and you sent the necessary information; but they have no record of your ancestors death. It wasn't there. You may know where your grandfather lived, where he is buried and even have the death date. What went wrong? The first place to start is, again, with your relatives. Because it is the first dead ancestor in your line, you are in luck. There is bound to be one relative who remembers a part of the story that is missing. Just where did this ancestor die? You may find out that his death occurred when he was visiting out of state. Now your search becomes a bit more complicated, because death certificates are usually filed where the death occurred. If no one remembers where he died, you are still not out of luck. Find out if anyone may have an obituary buried somewhere in their mementos. It may mention where the death occurred, or give a sold clue like "John Smith died while he was visiting his son Tom. Obituaries contain helpful resources for your family research, providing the names of siblings, children and other relatives, including the hard-to-find married names of females. Beware, they often contain errors. I found that from my own experience of providing an obituary for my mother. When printed in the newspaper, I was horrified to see some of the misspellings. And, I thought I had been very clear about the spellings. Nevertheless, they are worth finding for the clues they provide and the color they add to the life of your ancestor.

Oh I remember those.. my grandmothers.. sometimes frilly, some times plain, colorful, floral, now or then embriodered, manytimes they were flour sacks, but regardless, Those aprons served a multitude of purposes.. and each apron adds a tad bit to my genealogical research...Glory Bee The principle use of Grandma's apron was to protect the dress underneath, but along with that, it served as a holder for removing hot pans from the oven; it was wonderful for drying children's tears, and on occasion was even used for cleaning out dirty ears. From the chicken-coop the apron was used for carrying eggs, fussy chicks, and sometimes half-hatched eggs to be finished in the warming oven. When company came those old aprons were ideal hiding places for shy kids; and when the weather was cold, grandma wrapped it around her arms. Those big old aprons wiped many a perspiring brow, bent over the hot wood stove. Chips and kindling-wood were brought into the kitchen in that apron. From the garden it carried all sorts of vegetables. After the peas had been shelled it carried out the hulls. In the fall it was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees. When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds. When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out on the porch and waved her apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields for dinner. It will be a long time before anyone invents something that will replace that old-time apron that served so many purposes.
