For easier look-up. . . http://www.rootsweb.com/~gagwmil/argeorgia/arindex.htm kemis ----- Original Message ----- I am pleased to announce our recently added lookup page to the GAGenWeb Military Project Revolutionary War site. In addition I am delighted to announce that we have the expertise help of Glenda Thompson, Vice Chairman, DAR VIS(Volunteer Information Specialists). When a visitor goes to the Lookup page and submits a query to Glenda the query will be assigned to a Volunteer Information Specialist, who in turn will lookup the information in the most up to date records that are available. By directing visitors to Glenda they will be provided the best possible help in learning about American Revolutionary War Patriots listed in N.S.D.A.R. files. They will also be in good hands if they want to learn about joining the N.S.D.A.R. In addition to the valuable help that the N.S.D.A.R. VIS offers visitors we have the help of Donna Newman, who has numerous GA and Southeastern records that she will use when requested to lookup information about an ancestor. In time I hope to have some volunteers from the S.A.R. who will join the GAGenWeb Project Lookup Group. Kind Regards, Gloria

From another list. . . kemis ----- Original Message ----- This appeared in our newspaper today and sending it in case anyone missed reading about it. I went to the site and it is very hard to bring up and I imagine because of the information released today. Buried veterans records on the Web. The VA has made available 3.2 million records. VA has made it easier and faster for the public to get answers about family history, old war buddies or famous war heroes. The agency put on the Web 3.2 million records for veterans buried at 120 national cemeteries since the Civil War. The web site is www.cem.va.gov. The VA's Nationwide Gravesite Locator also has records for some state veterans cemeteries and burials in Arlington National Cemetery since 1999. These records used to be on paper and microfilm. ==== EVANS Mailing List ==== Please resubmit your queries once or twice per year to reach other members.

From another list, In case you may be searching in Alabama. . . kemis The Alabama Department of Archives & History have a search for their newspapers online at http://www.archives.state.al.us/newsmicro/search.cfm It's easy, simply put in the county Chambers and search. They also give information on purchasing the newspapers as well as borrowing them through interlibrary loans.

From another list. . . On a recent "Today Show" there was a story about two men who went to Hanoi on a business trip. The men encountered a guy selling old GI dog tags from US servicemen who were killed during the Viet Nam War. They were disgusted by the thought of this man profiting from the sale of these tags. Upon returning to the U.S., they decided to go back to Viet Nam and purchase ALL the dog tags. They did so, paying 19 cents per tag! They brought home several hundred tags. The plan is to return the tags to surviving family members, when they can find them. The process has already begun with one set being turned over to a grieving Mom on July 4th, (coincidentally, it was on her birthday)! These two men have set up a website, "http://www.founddogtags.com" listing the names of all those whose tags they purchased. If you lost friends, family, or know of someone who lost a loved one in Viet Nam, I suggest you check out this website. If you recognize a name, there's an e-mail address to contact these two men and to help in their efforts to return the dogtag to it's rightful survivor. I'm sure a family member would be eternally grateful to have such an important item returned. Please help by checking this website. And please send the website address to everyone you know. The more people who see the lists, the greater the chance of returning ALL the tags to those who lost loved ones in Viet Nam!

TN) Thursday, May 2, 1907: “John Bellamy Shot---John Bellamy, son of T.C. Bellamy who resides near Sweetwater, is reported to have been seriously shot on Wednesday of last week at Columbus, Ga., by a man named Frank Reed. Thomas Bellamy left on Thursday for Columbus to attend on his brother, and information received from him by letter regarding the shooting and the condition of the wounded brother is in substance as follows: A finger ring had been raffled off and a dispute arose as to the right party receiving it. The dispute resulted in a slight “scrap” between Bellamy and Reed, neither party being hurt, but, after which, Reed went to his boarding house, and later when Bellamy was passing along the street shot from a second story window, the ball taking effect in Bellamy’s left shoulder ranging down through his lung probably lodging near the spinal column, as he is reported to be paralyzed from his hips down. He is in a precarious condition, and while it is to be hoped that he will recover, there seems to be some doubt, and should he live it is feared that he will not recover from the paralysis. Reed is in jail.” Sweetwater Telephone, (Monroe Co. TN) Thursday, June 13, 1907: “Mr. John Bellamy, who was shot at Columbus, Ga., on April 24, 1907, by Frank Reed, and who was brought from that place to the home of his father, Mr. T.C. Bellamy near Sweetwater, on May 26, died at 2 o’clock Monday morning, June 10, his 24th birthday. Funeral services were held at the residence at 12:30 Monday, conducted by Rev. J.L. Prater, assisted by Rev. S.G. Grubb, after which the body was taken to the Greenbriar graveyard and interred. Mr. Bellamy professed faith in Christ since he was shot, and joined the Methodist church, his letter being placed in the church here last Sunday. The last day he lived he talked a great deal---spoke of how he regretted that he had not given his heart to God early in life, and urged upon his brothers, sisters and friends who were unconverted to give their hearts to God and meet him in Heaven, which they promised to do. He was cool in his remarks, and was willing to go. His great faith in God made a deep impression upon all who visited him. He has been a power for good during his short Christian experience. Miss Annie Vanzant to whom he was to have been married on last Sunday, who has been with him since his disaster, deserves much credit for the close attention and for so tenderly and untiringly caring for him as far as she could during his suffering. It was a true expression of pure love. She has made many friends while here, whose deepest sympathy for her in this sad bereavement and best wishes go with her back to her home at Columbus. The bereaved family of the deceased have the sympathy of all.”
