This is a forward from another list--I tried it and loved it! take a look. rondie <Here is a nifty free website for drawing state maps with color coding of counties. I have used it to make a map of Kentucky coloring all of the counties where my ancestors are known to have lived. Perhaps some of you will find this useful: http://monarch.tamu.edu/~maps2/>

Good morning, Just a quick note to wish all the fathers out here, a very Happy Fathers Day. May you have a wonderful day with your families. Happy Fathers Day . Jack & Addie Morrissey

Good evening, Starting today (Monday, 6/10) and extending over several days, RootsWeb is going to be moving the list servers and other machines. This will not effect you in any way other than the lists may / will be slow. They do not expect any messages sent to any of the RootsWeb servers to be lost, but several lists could be down at a time when each change is made. Please don't post "why aren't I getting mail" during that time. When the list comes back up, you won't want half of the posts to be everyone on the list asking why aren't they getting any mail. :>) If you have trouble reaching other RootsWeb servers this week, it's probably for the same reason; your more than welcome to keep trying. As soon as the updates are completed you will be able to get through. But please do not panic because your RootsWeb email is running slow. Best wishes to you all, Addie (list admin.)

Happy documenting :-) glory bee zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz if can locate the item one regading acceptable oral history, I will send! ============================================================= EVIDENCE FOR PROOF Evidence is the means of proving or disproving a fact. There are five types of evidence: 1. PRIMARY: Primary evidence is that from a record when the record itself isthe cause or result of the action or fact to be proved. Examples are: Vital records, Wills, Church Records, Tombstones etc., This is the best evidence. 2. COLLATERAL: Collateral evidence is when it is collateral to the purposeof the records but never the less an integral part of the record: Example: If a man speaks of his daughter by her married name, it signifies a marriage when no marriage record can be found. 3. SECONDARY: Evidence consists of statements made by persons of facts they know of their own knowledge: Examples: Oaths, Old Letters, Depositions. 4. CIRCUMSTANTIAL: If two or more facts are so related, that if one which can be proved by a higher type of evidence is true. When the other is necessarily, true. Example: Record shows a daughter of a man and later he marries someone, it shows he was married before and had at least one daughter. 5. REPORTED: Rumor, Hearsay, County Histories, and Many Biographies. These are the least trustworthy but good for clues. SOURCES OF GENEALOGICAL MATERIALS 1. PRIVATE: Family Bibles, Ledgers, Diaries, Photograph Albums, Samplers, Old Silver, Fly Leaves of old Books, Old Letters, Old Wills, Diplomas, Citations, Discharge Papers, School Records, Insurance Claims, Baby Books, Grandmother Bracelets, Etc. 2. PUBLIC: Census, Pension, Military, Land Tax, Deeds, Laws, Church Records, Court, Probate, Vital Records, Mortality, Immigration, Naturalization, Obituary Notices, Cemetery Records and Tombstones, Register of Voters, Maps, and Plat Books. City Directories and Telephone Books. 3. COMPILED: Printed Genealogies, County & Local Histories, Periodicals, Compiled Tax Lists, Cemetery, Etc., Newspapers - Articles, Brand Books. ============================================================= zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Good evening, This is a short message to let you all know that starting at 8 a.m. PST Friday, February 23, RootsWeb will begin a planned temporary downtime for maintenance of its servers and hosting process. It will limit this downtime as much as possible. This is to let you all know that you should not worry if the lists are running slow and or you do not receive any messages. Thank you, Addie Morrissey List owner

I have forgotten to which list the inquiry was sent regarding some Native American information. At this time I cannot recall which tribe was mentioned. Therefore I opted to send this URL to several lists just in case that person sees it... and perhaps it may help.. glory bee "K.Clopine-Seaman" wrote: > Free Cherokee services. > > http://www.cherokeemall.com/cherokeeservices.htm > >
