The following was posted to one of my mailing list. I hate to admit it but I can relate to it. D. Scott Dingler Listowner The top ten indicators that you've become a Gene-aholic..... By Mary H. Harris 10 . You introduce your daughter as your descendant. 9. You've never met any of the people you send e-mail to, even though you are related. 8. You can recite your lineage gack 8 generations, but can't remember your nephew's name. 7. You have more photographs of dead people than living ones. 6. You have taken a tape recorder and or notebook to a family reunion. 5 You have not only read the latest Gedcom standards, you understand it. 4. The local genealogy society borrows books from you. 3. The only film you have seen in the last year was the 1880 census index. 2. More than half of your CD collection is made up of marriage records or pedigrees. 1. Your elusive ancestors have been spotted in more places than Elvis.

Any infor on these two family lines Denson or Fennel in your area have lots of info to trade....send to Sue Brown at [email protected] thnaks, Ginger Daily

I was wondering if it is possible to buy a copy of the Polk County Cemetery Book. I know there is one located in the Cobb County Library. That doesn't help me very much. I have relatives buried all over that county and would love to have a copy of the Cemetery Book for my library. Does anyone know if it is available for purchase? Is there a Genealogical Society for this county? Thanks!

That means 45 rooms in all. We had that much in Little Rock and felt we could do as well in Georgia.

Saturday Night Banquet, July 18, 1998 @ 6:30 P.M. with meal beginning @ 7:00. Those not attending the meal may come @ 7:30 P.M. where chairs will be set up for you, around the room. The cost per person is $12.50 as this will cover cost of the meal, tax, gratuity, and a $75.00 fee for use of the banquet room. We have not had to do the later before but for a confirmed # of 60 or more and others coming in to the room later, this will be charged. Please come and eat as we will need to have at least 60 or [email protected] for that Number. We tried all sorts of negotiations but that is the best we could do. I will need to know by July 16, the number of the people we will have to eat at the Banquet. Carolyn Woodyard is the motel representative who is assisting on this so if you need to contact anyone at Motel then she will be the one. We wanted to be in LaGrange, GA. this year so we could have a tour on Friday to visit NANCY PASCHALL DINGLER's grave site, where the monument will be placed. On the Stone should be NANCY PASCHALL wife of JOHANNES DINGLER b. August 15,1766 d. December 1837 We cleared this through the Historical Society of Franklin, GA. and those interested in Old Whatley Cemetery, near Glenn, GA. so the stone may be placed there. Monuments are provided for Rev. War Veterans but not to their widows. To get to the Motel coming fron west on I-20 take Exit 3 in Georgia then take Hwy 27 S to LaGrange or from other directions take I 85 and take La Grange Exit.

The following was sent to all Listowners at Rootsweb. D. Scott Dingler Listowner Hi, folks -- Well, it took almost two months longer than expected, but we're right now installing a SmartList hack that blocks file attachments (including VCARDS), HTML messages and enriched text postings. Sorry about the delay: things have been crazy around here. This note is to let you know how it works. When a poster sends something to a mailing list written in HTML, or with a non-plain-text attached file, the list server will send the poster's message back to them, with a note at the bottom explaining the plain-text requirement at RootsWeb. A COPY OF THIS REJECTION MESSAGE WILL BE SENT TO YOU AS WELL! That's because the poster may write back to you to complain or to ask for help, and it can be pretty confusing if they write a reply to a message that you never saw. So when you suddenly start getting messages from [email protected], quoting some ungodly HTML mess that you never saw before, don't be alarmed. :-) It just means the list server is rejecting a MIME message that was sent to your list, and that you may get a response from the poster. This change is not currently something the listowner can turn on and off. Attachments will be blocked from every list alike. This might not be to the taste of some listowners, so we'll consider closely whether it would be safe to make it an optional setting. Thanks to Marc Nozell for finding the SmartList patch that was used as the basis for this fix! Regards, Tim Pierce RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative volunteer sysadmin and general hacker

Hi Pol County! Someone did a really nice thing for me. Carole Johnson copied the listings for Antioch Baptist Church Cemtery from the cemetery book and sent it to me snail mail. I would like to thank her for that and insist on paying her for her time and trouble. However, silly I lost her email and snail mail address. Carole, if you are out there, thanks and email me again so that I can properly thank you! --- Your Cousin in Rooting, Cathy Moore Casper Raleigh, NC -- Visit http://www.ivillage.com for your FREE iVillage.com email account. iVillage.com: The Women's Network -- Real Solutions for Busy Women.
