Two Bible Records for Harris County. Have you submitted yours? http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/harris/bible/cameron.txt http://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/harris/bible/jenkin.txt Virginia

Does anyone know if there is a published book on Harris County Cemeteries? Many thanks! Loney

Harris County and Pike County, GA researchers: Some of you may have noticed that links to the GenConnect Boards on the Pike and Harris County GenWeb pages have not been working lately. I have corrected the link and they are now functional. I have one button on the main table. There is another below the table with some simple directions. Click on queries, which takes you to the message boards page. You can select wills, bible, obits, etc. from a pull-down menu on the message boards page. You will notice that there are more choices than you had previously. http://www.rootsweb.com/~gapike http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaharris Barbara Smallwood Stock GenWeb Coordinator for Harris and Pike Counties in GA

Thanks to the generosity of Rhonda Hawkins, we now have the 1850 Census on-line for Harris County. ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/ga/harris/census/1850/ This is the URL for the listing of the census which is actually divided into 6 parts. The index page that you see was provided by S-K publications, but Rhonda also has an index page which is coordinated to the "book pages". In order for this to be helpful for our on-line use, her index would need to be converted to use Household #s instead of page numbers. If anyone is willing to work on this, please let Rhonda or I know. Getting this on-line also included help from Vicki and David....so I am very grateful for their help as well. Enjoy!

Pike and Harris County, Georgia researchers: I received the following message recently concerning the GenConnect Message Boards. Those changes are now largely already in place. "IMPORTANT MESSAGE BOARDS IMPROVEMENTS You have probably heard about the new message board changes coming about in the next days and weeks. Ancestry.com and RootsWeb.com will be releasing a new integrated message board system that is a combination of two powerful message board systems (i.e., GenConnect and FamilyHistory.com). Users will be able to take advantage of a much larger community in which to share experience, tips, and genealogical information. Users will be able to access these new message boards on either RootsWeb.com or Ancestry.com, and message board access will remain free on both sites. We expect the new system to be more stable and have more features. Improvements include the following: --- The new message boards database will be by far the largest collection of such messages on the Internet. In fact, the FamilyHistory and RootsWeb messages are extremely complimentary. The majority of the messages on FamilyHistory are surname-based, while RootsWeb's strength is in the locality and topic areas. Not only will the new combination enjoy a larger set of data, but users will have access to a much larger audience. --- The new message boards can now handle attachments to e-mail messages in the form of uploaded pictures (scanned documents, family photos, etc.) and GEDCOM files. --- Users will be able to view the e-mail address of message authors and be able to respond to them easily and privately. However, the message boards cannot be "crawled" by unscrupulous third parties to gather e-mail addresses for spam mailings. --- Search functionality will be improved compared to either the RootsWeb or FamilyHistory systems. Search hits will be ranked by relevance and wildcard searches are available. --- The hardware infrastructure supporting the new message boards is faster, can handle larger traffic loads, and is more stable. The new system is also less expensive over time and easier to maintain. The boards, however, will definitely be a change. One specific concern we have is with existing hyperlinks to the old GenConnect system. We believe we will be able to redirect most of the traffic to the proper destinations in the new system, however there may be some adjustment required by USGenWeb SCs and CCs. [This is my problem.] USGW CCs will still be able to use the new message board system for their query requirements for XXGenWeb's. Actually, we hope that we have preserved the important features and conveniences from GenConnect as well as added a few new bells and whistles. It is important to us that these new boards continue to serve the needs of the USGenWeb users. We will be working hard to help you learn about the features of the new system so that they can continue to function as important research tools. Please help us by being communicative yet patient as we launch the new system." My own comments - Temporarily, the GenConnect Board buttons still appear as they were on the county GenWeb page. The query button still takes you directly to the appropriate County queries, though they look a little different. The other buttons take you to a selection of: Family History, Localities, Rootsweb Topics & Localities, Surnames and Topics. I'm not sure right now how you find the wills, obits, bios, etc, but eventually you will be able to do so. I will include some basic instruction when I figure it out myself. The search machine on the pages will be more comprehensive and search across all the boards so that part may be an improvement over the old.

Looking for the burial place of my gr-grandmother: A. A. Perkins (Arminta A.) Thank you. Loney New York [email protected]

I have not been sending these strange emails. I did have a virus and it was sending the emails to you all. I am deeply sorry - Have finally gotten it out of my system and just gotten my computer back from the technician. It so corrupted my McAfee Virus Scan that I could not delete it to install the latest version. It was BadTrans 32. Terrible. Thank you for your understanding and again I am sorry. Loney

I am passing on this message, hoping one of you is familiar with the Old Sardis Primative Baptist Church and can answer Will Hutchinson's questions. Please respond directly to him at [email protected] Barbara Smallwood Stock -----Original Message----- From: Will Hutchinson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, April 13, 2001 2:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Old Sardis Primative Baptist Church Do you have any information on when the Old Sardis Primitive Baptist Church ceased to exist? Did it burn or what? The cemetery appears to have been in existence for a long period of time and over time has been extensively used. I would appreciate any information that you may have about the church. I found a photo of it in The History of Harris County. Nathaniel Hutchinson is not in my line although I am a decendent of his brother Richard H. Hutchinson. Many thanks for any info that you care to share. Will
