Hi all, As part of being a list administrator, I belong to a list of administrators. Many of the items that I forward from another list is from that list. Today I received an email telling what some of the other areas are doing. One county coordinator is asking for school lists for "historic schools" in their county, using a cut-off date of around 1950. Another county coordinator is working with someone who is writing up bios on preachers for the AME churches. If anyone can do help with either of these - Before we go any further I would love to have every bit of this for Chattahoochee, Harris, and Muscogee Counties. However, if you have that info for the county you live in please share it with your local county page - please do so. As you all know, all of the web pages and email lists are maintained by volunteers. We do this for free because of our love of genealogy. kemis

Hi all, At the suggest of a subscriber to the list a piece from RootsWeb Review. So for those of you who don't subscribe, here's an article from one of their recent email letters. This is something that we all need to look at in our family trees. kemis ----- Original Message ----- The plug for the Rootsweb Review was a good idea. Coincidentally, a subscriber posted to a surname mailing list I receive, the following, from this week's issue. I thought you might consider posting it on the Muscogee and Chattahoochee Co. lists for those who don't subscribe or may have missed it. (Oddly, I haven't received my Rootsweb Review this week, for some reason.) <<RootsWeb Review: Vol. 7, No. 18, 5 May 2004 1c. TIPS FROM READERS: Plausibility Factor Ancient Mothers: Possible, but not Likely By Gregg Bonner of Michigan I have noticed that many people who publish genealogical material do not bother to test whether the information is plausible. This is usually due to a lack of event-date association. When precise dates are not known people often neglect to enter any date information at all. However, if the author had entered even the broadest of possible date ranges for the events in question, then he would recognize that the sequence as a whole is not plausible for ANY set of particular dates he might pose as a possibility. Once the date ranges were given, it would become clear that to make the line possible, one person would have to live to be well over 100, or else another person would have to be a grandfather at age 25, or else some other equally unlikely occasion would need occur. The problem with many such pedigrees is that they are maintained under the argument that they are possible, and no effort is made to see that they are also plausible. One of the greatest classes of offenders is the "ancient mother" syndrome. Women really do not give birth to children in their 50s, excepting extraordinarily rare instances. To illustrate my point, I take data from the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Health Statistics, 1998 Natality Statistics. These figures show that among the nearly four million live births in the United States in 1998, only about 160 of them were to women aged 50 and above. This represents approximately 0.004% of live child births. The oldest age category given is age 54, for which there were six live births. To make the point more vivid, compare to the five live births to mothers aged 10. Continuing the theme, there were 19 live child births to mothers aged 53, compared to 23 born to mothers aged 11. In sum, the total of live births to mothers aged 50 or more is LESS than the number of live births to mothers aged 12 or younger. Please note also that these data include all manner of modern fertility treatments that would not have been available to our ancestors. I have had many people tell me that it is relatively common for women to have children in their mid-50s, only to proceed to point out several cases from their own database. These, however, are not cases of bona fide live child births to women aged 50 and greater -- these are rather simply errors. In a database of 25,000 persons, you can expect a grand total of approximately ONE person to have been born to a mother aged 50 or more. REPRINTS.

From another list. . . kemis ----- Original Message ----- I found this very helpful in citing my sources. My source: Genealogy 101 http://www.ancestrysolutions.com/Genea101%20Cite.html#SH Shortcuts and Abbreviations Right about now you may be wondering if it is really necessary to write out such detail for every single certificate, census, church entry and newspaper announcement that you have examined. After all, you quite likely have several hundred references for church entries of christenings, marriages and burials, dozens of civil registration certificates of births, marriages and deaths and several newspaper references culled from one newspaper. If you are one of those researchers who is keeping a manual system of citations, the prospect of having to sit down and spend hours writing out full details for each entry can be daunting. Well, there is some good news! First, you must decide how you wish to maintain your citations. Will it be in the manner of a chronological listing of references for each family line, or, will it be in the manner of a chronological listing by type of reference work? Once this decision is made you can now make use of three types of shortcuts in recording the reference information. The use of "ibid." "Ibid." is a reference that you have probably encountered at some point in your academic past. It is the shortform of the Latin word ibidem meaning "in that same place". "Ibid." is used when noting an additional reference from the same work that is referred to in the citation or footnote immediately preceding it. Because you are citing from the same work it is not necessary to rewrite the author's or publisher's name or details. All that is required is the word "ibid." in italics or underlined as it is a foreign language word and the page references, thusly: ibid., pp. 31-37 OR ibid., pp.31-37 The rule for the use of "ibid." is simply that it can only be used when an identical source is being cited immediately preceeding it. Note the following usage: Church of England, Canterbury Cathedral Library, Canterbury, Kent, England; Bishop's Transcripts, Faversham parish church ; (Utah, U.S.A.: Genealogical Society of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. and Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, n.d.); Family History Library, 35 North Temple Street, Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. microfilm #1736720; 21 October 1770; marriage of Thomas Nutt to Mary Herman. ibid., 4 October 1772; Christening of Thomas Nutt. "Ibid." can be used in the above instance as every piece of reference information is identical to the source quoted immediately above it. All that differs is the date, event and the subject person of the event. The use of "op. cit." If you wish to make reference to one work again and again, but those references are not in immediate succession to one another there is a way in which you can still shortcut your work. The Latin term "op. cit." or opere citato, meaning "in the work cited", is used to refer your reader back to a work prepared by the same author that may have been cited several footnotes ahead of the current reference. Hyde, Patricia and Harrington, Duncan; Faversham Oyster Fishery through eleven centuries; (Kent, England: Arden Enterprises, Ashton Lodge, Church Road, Lyminge, Folkestone, CT18 8JA, 2002) pp 237-238. A list of the members of the Faversham Oyster Fishery Company as of 1791 citing Thomas Nutt, Sr., Thomas Nutt, Jr. and John Nutt as members at that time. ISBN 0-9530998-2-2. Board of Guardians, Faversham Poor Law Union, Kent, England; Death Register ; (Utah, U.S.A.: Genealogical Society of Utah, Salt Lake City, and Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, n.d.); Family History Library, 35 North Temple Street, Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. microfilm #1656030; 22 November 1862; Death of Matthew Nutt at age 84 years. Hyde and Harrington, op. cit., p. 198. Cites Matthew Nutt as one of a group of signatories ratifying original articles of agreement of the Faversham Oyster Fishery Company. In the third citation, above, you can see that we have to include an abbreviated reference to the names of the authors, followed by "op. cit." and by the remainder of our reference information. Again, as "op. cit." is a foreign language it must be either italicized or underlined. This shortcut works well when you are using only one book or reference work produced by an author. If, however, you are using two or more books or reference works produced by the same author "op. cit." cannot be used. For instance, "op. cit." could not be used to refer to multiple census returns from different geographical areas - the author may be the same, but the title of each census work varies from enumeration district to enumeration district. In such an instance there would be no method by which to adequately put across to your reader to which census return you were referring. A solution to this situation can be seen in the example below: Office of the Registrar General, London, England now Office of National Statistics, Kew, Surrey, England; 1851 census, Faversham District, Faversham Sub-District, Parish of Faversham (Utah, U.S.A.: Genealogical Society of Utah, Salt Lake City, and Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, n.d.); Family History Library, 35 North Temple Street, Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A. microfilm #0193527; RG11/0968, Folio 104, page 36; 30 March 1851; Ann Weeks Bunting; Office of National Statistics, 1851 census, Parish of Faversham, Folio 106, page 38; ..... Note that the author has been shortened to reflect just the current entity. The title of the work has also been shortened to reflect just the pertinent details, in this case, the year of the census and parish concerned. All other identical information has been omitted from the second citation. The last rule that applies to the use of "op. cit." is to use one of the above two methods only. Do not mix your methods. Remain consistent throughout your citation lists. Other Helpful Abbreviations ch. Chapter comp. compiler; compiled by ed. or eds.

Just for the record. . . this Kemis is a female. There are 2 other Kemis' in Columbus and both of them are male (father and son originally from FL) Kemis is a family name but not mine. When my parents bought their first house, they rented a room to a military couple by the name of Bob and Kemis YOUNG. He was stationed at Ft. Benning for OCS training. Mom ask her if she every had a daughter. . . I bet you know the rest. Mrs. YOUNG didn't know where her name came from as her parents died when she was 3. A couple of years back, I located her name in a KEMIS family tree. BTW, I now have a third cousin by the name of Kemis.
