BIG NEWS! Houston County Researchers: For those of you who haven't already heard, yesterday's news contained an announcement that will revolutionalize genealogical research. What will come about this Fall, will be a major milestone for researchers. There has been a lot of talk about such a project as this one coming about, but no one knew for sure *when*. Below, is the announcement from Ancestry Daily News: =======>>> CENSUS IMAGES ONLINE COMING TO ANCESTRY.COM Images Online(tm) Enables Members to View and Print Images of Census Records Instantly =========================================== Ancestry.com, part of MyFamily.com, Inc., the leading online family network, today announced the launch of an immense project to create digitized images of every record from the U.S. Federal Census between the years 1790 and 1920. Beginning today, sample images from census records have been posted to the site, enabling users to preview the types of information contained on these original documents. These census records, which Ancestry.com recently obtained from the National Archives, contain more than 450 million names. "The ability to view census records online is one of the most significant advancements in online genealogy to date," said Curt Witcher, manager of the Historical Genealogy Department of the Allen County Public Library. "Viewing original documents online not only saves people time and money by enabling them to view census records in their own living room, but original documents contain a wealth of information and may help researchers go beyond what they can find in an index." Once these images are launched as part of the new Ancestry.com Images Online(tm) service, the original census records will be viewable and printable online with an Ancestry.com Census Subscription. Through Images Online(tm), these census records will more faithfully reproduce original documents than mere indexes or bi-tonal, black and white images available with competitive offerings. The first images will be posted this fall, and subsequent postings will bring hundreds of millions of images to the site throughout the year. With the addition of these new census records, more than 1 billion records will be fully searchable on Ancestry.com by the end of this year. "By offering images of these census schedules, Ancestry.com is taking online genealogy to the next level," said Andre Brummer, general manager of Ancestry.com. "Census records are one of the most significant sources of family history information. Making original documents available online enables people to view and print documents that have traditionally been stored on microfilm and are only available in limited numbers of archives and libraries throughout the nation." In addition to the 450 million new records, Ancestry.com recently began an innovative project to reconstruct the vast amount of information lost when a 1921 fire destroyed nearly the entire 1890 census. The census substitute is the largest project of its kind and will fill the void that was created when the fire destroyed insight into an entire generation's family demographics, occupations, and much more. Ancestry.com is using remaining fragments of the original 1890 census, 1890 special veterans schedules, several Indian tribe censuses for years surrounding 1890, state censuses (1885 or 1895), city and county directories, alumni directories, and voter registration documents to construct a census substitute. More than 20 million records have been identified for inclusion in the census substitute. You can view sample census images online at: http://www.ancestry.com/home/celebrate/census.htm ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Houston County Researchers: For those of you who live in the vicinity of Perry, GA and would like to access the Perry LDS Family History Center (FHC), this info may assist you. The Director, Lori Lewis has just sent me the current info about that research facility. Here are some excerpts from her email: =======>>> We have been up and running since February. We have a handful of regular researchers but not the amount that we expected or can handle. Maybe you can put in some plugs for us among your researcher friends. :-) We are currently holding at the twelve hours per week that we originally set up, but I am working on getting a few more staff volunteers so that we can expand to 20 hours per week. Our current hours are as follows: Mondays: 10 AM - 12 Noon Tuesdays: 1 PM - 3 PM Wednesdays: 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM Thursdays: 10 AM - 12 Noon, and 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM Fridays: Closed Saturdays: 10 AM - 12 Noon I tried to have some mornings, some afternoons, and some evenings. I was advised not to open on Saturdays but find that is our second busiest time. Wednesday evenings are our busiest because that's when our church youth meet and some of their parents spend their waiting time at the FHC. What hours would best suit you and your researcher friends? The only phone number for the FHC is 987- 0030, which is the church's phone number. The FHC just has an extension phone for now, not a separate number. I have an answering machine set up in the FHC for when no one is at the church. Our facilities include: Four computers (networked). Two film readers. Two fiche readers. Photocopier. Laser printer. On the computers we have: The SSDI (Social Security Death Index). Military Index (casualties of the Korean and Vietnam wars). International Genealogical Index. Family History Library Catalog. AniMap 2.0. Ancestral File. Pedigree Resource Files (disks 1 - 11; to be installed very soon). North American Vital Records Index (to be installed soon) The SourceGuide. ....and more. We have: PERSI. AIS. FHLC (even the native language portion), and more on fiche. All of the Research Outlines (all U.S. states and many foreign countries). The Research Guides, and much more printed material from the LDS Family History Department including the foreign language word lists. Access to nearly all of the microfilm and microfiche holdings of the Family History Library in SLC, the largest genealogical library in the world. A patrons' vertical file with articles and information on many specific areas of research, and we have a growing map collection. The Ancestors I series on videotape. A small book collection which includes The Source, some atlases, some foreign language dictionaries, some county histories, and other reference books. The microfilm rental is: $3.50 per roll for the first 5 weeks, then $3.50 more for two months renewal, then $3.50 more to change that to indefinite loan where the film remains in the FHC. Microfiche can be acquired for use at the FHC for $.20 per sheet. All microfiche remains at the FHC indefinitely. (We do not need to send it back to SLC.) Most films arrive in about a week. The fiche seems to take 2 - 3 weeks to get here. We would be pleased to have you and other local researchers make use of our facility. It is open to the public, and we charge no fees except the rentals for film and fiche. Those fees are determined by actual cost to the FHC; we aim to make no profit. Feel free to contact me if we can be of assistance. Lori Lewis [email protected] P.S. - The annual Macon Genealogy Conference is in the works for this fall. It was in October last year and the registration fee of $5.00 or $8.00 included choices of classes, a binder of syllabus material, and lunch. I think we had about 450 people there last year. I will let you know when I get more information, which should be in a week or so. ________________________________________________________________ YOU'RE PAYING TOO MUCH FOR THE INTERNET!

Most of the contacts have been from people researching the same name wanting information on certain people with that name. If they are in my line, I share what I have and usually get an offer from the contact to share with me. It has worked out quite well and I have added to my data base through those contacts. Most of my contacts with other researchers have been due to my postings on the Family Tree Makers GENFORUM sites (those sites for specific surnames.) I have made contact with, corresponded with and actually met in person a large number of "new" cousins through the GenForum postings. I have been able to share back and forth with these cousins and add to my data base as well as help them add to theirs. It has been great fun.

Looking for information on George W & Melveny L. Hillard. They were in Stewart Co, Ga at one time. Children were Temperance, Sarah E., William R., George M., Charles H., Andrew M., Augastine. Need dates on these children and name of Spouse's. Appreciate any help with this family.

Mr. Mills, I have furnished information to the Family Tree Maker, and found listings on Familysearch.com, with both I have found family members from all sides of the family, but I have found that the information isn't always correct, as is neither my own at times. I share with the new found family members and I have been lucky that they have been willing to share with me. Locally, I have Helen Hudson to ask questions to as we both are related in the Leverett family. I have also found that not all submitters to the LDS site are willing to share their information or how they came about with it, but it does open other doors for me to wander through on my search. I hope you know that your guidance has helped me alot with my research here and across the U.S. I study your previous e-mail and find information that helps me look in places that I have never looked before or even thought of looking. I hope no one gives up their search, ever. I have had to think beyond and learn that you might not be spelling a name as it was written or that a date or birthplace could be wrong. I'm sure your research has helped many in your family and many friends along the way, so please, take this Thank You as a heartfelt one and know that the many hours you have put into your Family Tree is not wasted. Thank You Again, Stephanie Langston

Houston County Researchers: I've got some questions that I am hoping that some of you may be able to help me with: 1. For those who have compiled their genealogical data into a program on their computers, and have created a GEDCOM file, have you ever uploaded it onto the Internet? 2. Which databases have you uploaded it to? Was is the LDS Pedigree Resource File, Rootsweb World Connect, Ancestry.com, My Family.com, World Family Tree, or other database? 3. As a result of you uploading your GEDCOM file to the Internet, have you had any or much contact from others who are researching the same family lines? 4. Of those who have contacted you, were they primarily wanting you to provide the sources of your family data, or were they also willing to share their data, along with their sources of info? I've been using computers for over 15 years, but only since 1994 have I been using a genealogy program on my computer (Family Tree Maker). Back in the early 1990s, those who could compile their family data, and then generate a GEDCOM file with their computers, could easily share their data with others. When I first started using GEDCOM files back then, I was amazed at how versatile this could be regarding sharing info. The LDS Ancestral File started out in the early 1990s, and quickly mushroomed into a massive database. It was primarily utilized to help genealogists connect with others researching the same families. And, before 1995, the previous Ancestral File update on CD-ROM (for LDS Family History Center access) was about 3 years prior. I found out in December 1995 that the LDS was going to be updating their Ancestral File database during mid 1996, and that if I could get my GEDCOM submitted before 1 Jan 1996, that it would be included in the newest edition of Ancestral File. Well, I got my data submitted in time. From that point in 1996, I'm not sure if the LDS has updated that database again. Last year, the massive LDS website: http://www.familysearch.org launched their database which included the Ancestral File and the IGI (International Genealogical Index). Prior to that launching in mid 1999, I was being contacted on a regular basis by other researchers who were searching some of my family lines. The Ancestral File contained my name and snail mail address. But, once the massive LDS website opened all of this info up to the Internet, I have had maybe 1 or 2 contacts concerning this family data. Recently, I have been surfing the Net, to see who else may be researching some of my family lines. I discovered that several people (read as: dozens) have basically downloaded the data from my Ancestral File submission, and have listed themselves as the source of the data. I would have no problem proving this, as the majority of the data that I had collected was a result of over 3,500 hours of research; primarily on the MILLS family. At the time that I submitted my family data to the LDS Ancestral File database, there was no place to enter the sources of the data. That has actually turned out to be a blessing. Now I can discern who is actually interested in sharing data with me, or just *trolling* along the Net, collecting thousands of "fish" for their own massive databases of info. I've been to a few of the major databases of online GEDCOM files, and have discovered that a majority of them have no sources listed for their family info. Also, many of the submissions that have been extracted from the WFT (World Family Tree) have wide and vague dates; i.e 1834-1910 for a birthdate of an individual. When I see this sort of info, I know that I am dealing with someone who is "lost in the woods", at least as far as that particular ancestral submission is concerned. Generally speaking, you can improvise a "circa date" that will be accurate, plus or minus 10 years, and usually within 5 years. I've only been using the Internet for a little over a year, and am not sure if it has been beneficial, or just fodder for an addiction :-) Here is what I am contemplating: I am going to update my genealogy program, as it is always in a constant state of change. Then, I am going to generate a GEDCOM file, and then upload it to the Internet, *wherever* there appears to be a significant amount of data posted. BUT, I am not going to include *any sources* of the data. A sincere genealogist will be able to tell by the completeness of the file, that a "trolling fisherman" didn't compile it. You can usually tell this by GEDCOM files that don't include a massive amount of "???" and "circa dates" in them. When you see *actual* dates of birth, marriage and death, you know you are dealing with someone who has expended some "legwork" into his genealogical research. My primary reasoning behind me not including the sources of my data, is that I want to "weed out" the sincere genealogists from the "trolling fishermen". If someone contacts me, and provides enough info about their family to prove that they are related to me, I am more than willing to provide whatever I have about that lineage. But, I expect the same in return from them. In the "old days" prior to the Internet, the main medium for spreading the family info around, was to publish a family history. This is still being done, but with a lot less sincereness in many cases. The last thing that I want, is a family history that includes 10,000 names in it. If I can purchase a family history that I can ascertain is definitely about my family lines, I am more than willing to do so. Actually, to purchase a family history for $30 to $50 is a bargain. I've published 4 family histories about my own family lines, so I *know* about the costs of compiling the data: research trips, copy costs at libraries & archives, long-distance phone calls, microfilm purchases, etc. Do any of you have any good luck stories, or even some nightmares regarding the posting of your GEDCOM files to the Internet? I'm looking forward to hearing from you. Take care, William A.

I have found Henrietta Parker in the 1860 City directory for Macon listed as Miss Henrietta Parker and as a seamstress. She is not in the Census index for that year. I also found a Mrs. Henrietta Parker getting married in Houston County 14 August 1864 to Calvin Moore. I have reason to believe that Henrietta may have moved to Bibb county from Houston County about 1856/57. She is not a family line but am quite interested in knowing a little more about Henrietta especially her maiden name and the name of her parents and what happened to her.
