After the last meeting we seemed to be in agreement that the census readers would be along the back by the windows for good lighting. The Membership and Additional Resources committees would set up near the door to catch departing participants, the computer group would be in the library, the greeters would have their own room where the CIG used to meet to get participants started on their pedigree charts. The marriage records, African American and Indian specialists, Library resources and others would be along the right and left walls (as viewed from the stage) or in front based on a first come gets first choice of table concept. There appears to be plenty of table space for everyone but, if there is not, we will be arriving at 8:00 so will have an hour to sort out any space problems by setting up additional tables. However, if any group has a particular place they need or want to set up, it's not too late to let it be known. We have a great deal of flexibility in most of the positions. We do still need a volunteer with a laptop to do marriage records. We will have all of the records up to about 1887 by then and that volunteer will receive the spreadsheets sorted alphabetically by bride and groom to do lookups with. They will need a laptop with Excel capability, though. Jerry L.L.

I have some good new for you, Evan, if you decide to take on indexing the Pensacola Obits on top of everything else you do. You don't have to type them from scratch. Here's how to do it. Go to http://pensacolanewsjournal.com/ and click on Records in the menu bar across the top of the page. That will take you to a list by each day of the month of Pensacola deaths. Just click on a date to see that days death notices. Now all you have to do is copy and paste the data into a Word document. Caution - don't go to the Obit page as not everyone pays the extra fee to have their obit go on the Internet. The Records page is where all of the deaths are listed. That said, you will still have a minor formatting problem when you paste into Word. The data will be in separate paragraphs that will make it impossible to sort alphabetically later and keep the writeups with the names. Here's how to overcome that problem. When you get a month's worth of death notices, select them all and click on Table / Convert... Text to Table. Select a 4 column table so that the names are on the same table row with the brief writeups that go with each name. You will have two blank columns but not to worry. When you get ready to archive your year's work, copy and paste the Work table into Excel. The blank columns will still be there so you have to delete them - a trivial matter. This will leave you with a surname in one column with a matching writeup in the adjoining cell. Just sort both columns by surname and you're done. The writeups will follow the surname in the new alphabetized list you have made. It's a lot easier than it sounds once you try it. It's even easier if you can talk someone else into doing it.

A little strange coming from me---I thought I KNEW the answer! Anyway, does anyone know if ANYONE is "doing" the obits now??? AND----has anyone done them for 2006? I went to the PPL yesterday, and they seem to go ONLY THRU 2005. Also, I have begun typing a database for 2008 Penss obits, MYSELF, but I sure don't have enough time to do them, and I'm just doing the February obits, just to see how much time it takes out of MY LIFE! ;=) The one I need right now is a "James ODOM", died sometime in 2006, and probably born about late 1920's or early 1930's---perhaps from Century. I'm trying to assist a young lady at the PPL find her ODOM and SILVIA roots. Thanks, EVAN STROHL
