Tracy, will sure keep doing it as I like you and everyone else can't wait for the next bit of news from these old papers. It is so hard not to roll the film months ahead to see what is next and I have to restrain from doing that and concentrate on what is on the page that I am reading and not jump ahead of myself.

Hi, I just uploaded the Ben Hill County Newspaper transcriptions for years 1897-1900. More will be added as I get them ready to upload. The index is not loaded yet but will be as soon as "Ivan the Terrible" problems hopefully pass us by. Hope this is the last hurricane that we have to deal with this season...three in a row is a bit toooooo much. Hope you enjoy reading about your ancestors. Lots more coming soon...these papers are just wondeful sources of genealogical and historical information. http://home.comcast.net/~gholback/b_np.htm Your List Mom, Gloria "What good is knowledge if not shared?" --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Diana, it really is a big project but it will be so worth the time spent to finally make the information available to all of us and have a complete index so we don't have to go from page to page and film to film to find our ancestors. What I am finding is the indexing is the most time consuming as I don't want to miss anything and want to cross reference everything too. This first chapter is taking me longer than I thought but as soon as I get it done, hopefully in a few days I will send a hard copy to the library in Fitzgerald and be sure to go in and look at it. Any suggestions are appreciated too. Still haven't found the little photo of Frank Pate. Don't know what I did with it, and that frustrates me to no end. It was one of those tiny little photos, perhaps from highschool snapshots. The library will have hardcopies of the transcriptions and I will also burn some copies to cd and send to the Director for the library in case someone in the Gov. offices wants to use them, that way there are always extra copies handy for researchers. We have Ivan "the terrible" bearing down on us. I do wish hurricane season was over with. Someone up home told me that some folks in Fitzgerald were without power and some older trees were blown down. Frances was so big and has traveled so far, leaving so much damage. Your all in my prayers where ever you are that this one will not reach you and also that it will go out into the gulf and fizzle out.

As most of you know there are two Irwin County Genealogy sites online now. There is the Georgia GenWeb Project Irwin County pages and also the GAGenWeb Project Irwin County pages. Joy Fisher is the host for the GAGenWeb Irwin County page and she has recently placed all the Irwin County Census Images online years 1920 through 1920 and I believe she said she would place the 1930 online also. http://www.rootsweb.com/~gairwin/census.html As Joy pointed out to me, Census Images in many ways but cannot be searched by a search engine to find names. In order to make the most of these census images they need to be transcribed and placed online in a text format that a search engine can spider and locate names. If anyone has the skills to type and transcribe these images it would be a service to Irwin County researchers. If you have an interest in helping with this effort please contact Joy. She is subbed to this mail list and though I have thanked her in a personal email I would like to thank her again for placing all of those records online. As soon as possible I will complete the 1870 Irwin County census by using the images to transcribe from. There are forms that we can use that are especially set up for the census years. Joy can tell you how to get the template and can help you through the process or if I can help you can also write to me. The transcriptions will be placed on both project sites. Hope to hear from some volunteers. At present I am transcribing the Ben Hill County early newspapers and have placed a lot of new data online in the past few days. http://home.comcast.net/~gholback/b_np.htm http://home.comcast.net/~gholback/news_1911_12.htm 1930s-1940s http://home.comcast.net/~gholback/news_mil_1.htm Your List Mom "What good is knowledge if not shared?" --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

Hi, I checked some of the family files on the Fountain family but I didn't have anything to offer. Also checked the Luke Families book, by Phil Luke but did not find Lonnie Fountain listed. Perhaps one of our volunteers online will see your query and check the books that they have on hand. You also could go to the Irwin County Georgia GenWeb Volunteers Page and write direct to some of our volunteers and ask for some help with the Fountain/Clements connections.
