Be sure to click on "Juliana's links" also. There is a social security death index included that may be useful. Sometimes you may want to start using a search engine such as Yahoo. Include in your search at least the word "genealogy Texas" etc. You will be given numerous other links, which you may want to use. Some sources are free, some or not. Once you find suitable sites, you can further narrow your search down to counties, surnames, etc. A search engine such as Lycos has a "People Find" category if you are looking for living persons. There are a few other sources for tracking down people. These services may, or may not include who you are looking for. Some are free, other are not. You may want to register the surnames you are looking for once you find a suitable site. For example, there is an African American surname registry at the following: http://member.aol.com/afriamgene/surnames Please keep in mind your relative must also be registered for a possible connection. The surname listings have yielded nothing in my case. If there is a genealogy library in your area, you may use some of their cd rom data bases for your search. They are generally subscribers to some of the links you must pay for on your on when searching at home. If you live in Texas, you can find anyone with a Texas driver's license.

Yes, they are called Moroccans, Algerians, Tunisians, Egyptians, Libyans etc. Some are "tall", some or not. Many have dark skins and straight hair, and many don't. I believe Egypt even fielded a basketball team for the olympics. What you describe fits just about any country in north Africa, albeit not exclusively. Yes, you can find that population set anywhere and everywhere in NA.

I think you are jumping to conclusions. I never suggested that anyone ignore ANY part of their ancestry. My comment was about the degree of importance some african-americans were attaching to the recent Jefferson/Hemings so-called revelation. The fact that many of us have white slavers as ancestors is nothing for black people to be ashamed of, but it's not exactly cause for celebration (although I am enjoying watching certain white historians squirm right about now). alanametis@aol.com (AlanaMetis) wrote: > >I find the insistence that some black people make that their white ancestry >should be ignored very disturbing.

Hi! My name is Jean Pierre Gauthier. (voir la fin pour la version fran=E7aise) I propose to establish an internet association of people interested in the genealogy of all GAUTHIER. I have established a site at www.geocities.com/athens/5844 to concentrate the data and help researchers find a link to an ancestor. The site also contains an invitation to contribute the individual researcher`s data. The purpose of such an association would be to share research material and divide the tasks involved in assembling and standardising data. =46ree of charge. I propose to: 1. Establish a network of regional coordinators(France, Qu=E9bec, Ontario, USA,etc). 2. To designate one person with the responsability establishing, and acting as moderator of, an internet site(or network of sites). This person should have the technical ability(html.etc) to oversee a site and would be responsible for data entry in accordance with the group`s instructions. 3. Designate a discussion leader to establish and run a forum(members only-weekly?) 4. Designate a person knowledgeable in WEB advertising to recruit new members and advertise our association. Every aspect of such an association needs to be discussed with potential members before we start out. Please send me your comments and indicate your interest in participating in the association. How would you be able to contribute? To facilitate exchanges, I`ve started an email group at gauthier@egroup.com To join, simply send an email to gauthier-subscribe@egroup.com =46or the present, the most important task is to find members. So if you know anyone who might be interested in joining our group, please tell them. Only a strong union of forces will bring results. Also, we must establish a forum so if you have the knowledge to do so, write me asap. Of course, all replies will be held in strict confidence. As always, your suggestions are welcome.

Contents ~~~~~~~~ * Common Courtesies * Patience and Tolerance * Subject Lines * Personal Privacy * Requests For Information * Replying To A Message * Signature Files * Mailing Lists * Attaching Files * Dealing with Junk Mail * Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) * The Use of Upper Case or CAPITALS * Further Information Common Courtesies ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Read carefully what you receive to make sure that you understand the message. Read carefully what you send, to make sure that your message will not be misunderstood. Know your audience. Make sure that the person or list of people you are sending your message to are right ones to be communicating with. Many readers have very limited, and in some cases expensive electronic mail facilities. Be particularly careful not to cause unnecessary traffic, or to send unnecessary long messages. Please DO NOT send "test messages." The system works. If you must test it, at least send a valid message, with useful information or questions. In fact there is a newsgroup called misc.test, set up specifically for test messages. If you post to this group, you will get email responses from a number of servers around the world which will allow you to judge how quickly and thoroughly your posts propagate. Patience And Tolerance ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remember that not all readers have English as their native language, so make allowance for possible misunderstandings and unintended discourtesies. Remember that the absence of visual clues normally associated with face to face communication provides an ideal environment for being misunderstood. Be tolerant of newcomers. None of us were born knowing all. If you are using humour or sarcasm, make sure to clearly label it as such. Humour is usually indicated by a smiley e.g. :) or (grin). Subject Lines ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Always include a descriptive subject line in your message. Use the Subject: line to get attention and make sure it describes the main point of your message. Avoid very long subjects as some newsreaders only display the first 30 characters or so. If you are seeking information about a family, include the surname in UPPERCASE in the Subject: line. Remember that with many messages each week, many people use the subject line to decide if they should read your message or not. "Need help" or "Genealogy" are not good subject lines. Likewise, not everybody who reads this newsgroup lives in the same country as you. Please give an indication of the country or countries you are interested in together with a date range. Keep messages to only one subject. Second subjects within a single message are often missed. The information contained in the subject line should also be included in the message itself as some news readers display the subject line on a different screen to the message body. Personal privacy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please be careful about the information you post to the newsgroup or the mailing list. For example, if somebody asks you to look up some names and addresses in the local telephone directory, send the results directly to the requester. Please be very careful about the amount of detail you post to the world. Consider if you would like to have the details of your birth, particularly if your parents weren't married at the time, broadcast to the world. And that is quite mild compared to some of the skeletons you might dig up. As use of the Internet grows, we are beginning to see it being abused. Please think carefully before you post private details about yourself, or any present day individual to the world. Request For Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Be specific, especially when asking questions. If you ask about a person, identify when and where the person might have lived. You are much more likely to get a helpful reply if your message summarizes what efforts you have already made yourself to find the answer to your question. Please do not post to this newsgroup or mailing list messages which should be more appropriately addressed to one of the other groups in the soc.genealogy hierarchy. And please avoid posting the same message to several newsgroups or mailing lists in the hierarchy, except when its content is equally relevant to each such newsgroup. Avoid cluttering your message with excessive emphasis (such as stars, exclamation marks "!", etc). It can make the message hard to follow. =46or straightforward queries which are simply seeking further information about a particular surname, or a named individual, it is recommended that the group of newsgroups soc.genealogy.surnames.* be used rather than any other newsgroup or mailing list. This is because soc.genealogy.surnames newsgroups are moderated as well as archived. The moderators ensure that subject lines are given in an informative and stylized format, providing details of dates and locations as well as the surname in question. This is aimed at facilitating searches of the entire large archive of messages that have ever been sent to the newsgroup, searching for all messages which relate to a given family. =46or those people who are restricted to using email only, the soc.genealogy.surnames newsgroups are also available as mailing lists. Please keep line lengths to about 72 characters to avoid problems with word wrap on replies. Most mail programs prepend the included lines with a '> '. It doesn't take many replies to extend the line over the normal 80 characters display size. Replying to a message ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =46eel free to answer questions or provide clarification or comments in response to any posting you see on the newsgroup or mailing list. However, please "FOLLOW-UP" to the posting ONLY if you think your comments will be of interest to other readers and you wish your answer sent to all the newsgroup and mailing list readers. Otherwise please use the 'Reply' function on your newsreader to respond directly to the poster. If your newsreader doesn't allow 'Reply', note the e-mail address of the original poster and send an e-mail directly to that person. If you want to start a personal correspondence with the poster of a message, look in the header of the note and find the "FROM:" or "REPLY TO:" field where you will find that person's email address. You can then send your note directly to that person. Many newsreaders and mail programs provide easy means of replying to the poster of a particular message, and/or of posting a follow-up message, handling all the complications of message addressing automatically. Please make sure that you do not post a follow-up message accidentally, when your intention was merely to reply directly to the poster. If you are responding to a message, either include the relevant part of the original message, or make sure you unambiguously refer to the original contents. It is very common for people to read your reply before they read the original message. However, please avoid unnecessarily lengthy quotations from the messages to which you are responding. One point to bear in mind is that most Internet Service Providers delete messages after 2 or 3 days. You cannot rely on any one message being received by another subscriber. It is this very lack of permenance which makes it vital to register any surnames you are interested in in the soc.genealogy.surnames newsgroup so that it can be added to the archive. Signature Files ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Always 'sign' your message with your name and your preferred e-mail address. This is especially important because some e-mail and newsreader software do not always convey the originator's full e-mail address. While you may certainly include your regular mail address in your postings, you may wish to give this out only in personal replies, when necessary. Please DO NOT include a list of the surnames you are researching in your signature file. If the messages are archived (and most newsgroups are archived) and somebody is searching for your surname, they need to find it only once; hopefully it will have your address with it as well. If they are searching, and get too many hits, then they may not request all the messages and therefore may miss seeing your message. Many new email clients now default to attaching a copy of your message. This means that your message gets sent twice. Please ensure that you have this feature turned off when you send a message to a newsgroup or mailing list. You should also consider if you need to send your messages in MIME format, or would plain ASCII text be better? There is an increasing trend to include V-Cards at the end of a message. While this may be a useful feature in a business environment, it is yet more wasted space when sent to a newsgroup or mailing list. The problem in Win95 is that they accumulate unless you purge them. Each of them will consume 16k (despite the file size of 176 bytes or whatever it is). Mailing Lists ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Some newsgroups are also linked, or gatewayed, to a mailing list. This means the all messages sent to the newsgroup are also sent to the mailing list. Thus people who can only use email can still take part in the discussions. There is always a separate email address to send messages to the mailing list to that you use to subscribe, or talk to the computer. The computer often uses the name LISTSERV or LISTPROC. The mailing list address will be something list GENBRIT-L, or GENMSC-L. If you use the wrong address, you will end up sending messages to the computer, which will ignore them, and commands to the mailing list, which EVERYBODY will see. Attaching Files ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A lot of the newer mail and news programs provide a mechanisim which will allow you to 'attach' a file to your message. This can be a photo, a sound recording or even a complete family history book in your favourite word processor format. Even if you are sure everybody will be able to read it, the odds are that once it has passed through the internet it will be impossible to for anybody to understand without a lot of work. Please don't do it. Sending GEDCOM files, Tiny Tafels, Decendent lists and any large lists should also be avoided. Not everybody has access to the Internet via their workplace or college. Some people have to pay for their access time. Downloading large files which they are not going to be interested in is a waste of their time and money. Much better to post a short message saying that you have the information if they are interested and then send it to just those people who request it. Including files in any format other than straight ASCII is to be avoided. The use of uuencoded files, zipped files or even HTML files are likely to mean that nobody will read your message. In some groups it will result in the message being rejected. Dealing with Junk mail ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It is an unfortunate fact of life that with the expansion of the Internet we are all likely to receive junk mail at some point. Because the majority of the newsgroups and mailing lists are not moderated, then there is little that can be done to automatically stop these messages. So what can you do when you recieve junk mail? =46irstly, do not post a message to the newsgroup or mailing list that it arrived in. This will just increase the 'noise' in the group or list. If the message came directly to you, then you are in a better position to do something. Here are a list of suggested steps you might take: * Never buy anything from someone who sends you unsolicited advertising by email. Many of these offers are fraudulent and the advertising method is by definition, underhand. If nobody bought from them, they would quickly stop. * Learn how to reveal the 'full headers' in a mail message. This will show you the route the message took to you. Most mail systems show just the basic information ("To", "From", "Subject", "Date", etc). Even if the "From" address shows as spammer@aol, the message may not have come from AOL, the advertiser may not ever have had an account on AOL. By examining the full headers, in the vast majority of cases you can see where the message really came from. * Forward the message, including the full headers, to the services that handled the message complaining that you don't want such mail. Send it to the following addresses: abuse@[domain] and postmaster@[domain]. For example, if the message came through Interramp, then send the messages to abuse@interramp.com, and postmaster@interramp.com. Why two addresses? Many ISPs don't have an 'abuse' address; If they don't then you should encourage them to implement one. They are all required to have a postmaster account. * If the postmaster gets thousands of complaints about this kind of activity, then they will soon realize that it is not worth it to allow these kinds of people to access their systems. If you want your message to to be taken seriously, then be polite. Verbal abuse could lose you your account! Other types of junk mail include chain mail, virus warnings and the like. If you get a message that requests, often urgently, that you spread the message far and wide, that's a good sign to delete it. These often claim that they are 'helping a good cause', like the cancer struck kid that wanted to get into the Guinness Book of Records by getting as many cards in the mail as possible. The child exists and got 16 MILLION cards in the first year - 1990! The virus warnings mails are fake too and keep going despite being years old. The 'Good Times', 'Deeyenda', 'Irina' and 'Ghost.exe' warnings are all hoaxes and spreading them around causes nothing but resource drains, bother and sometimes panic in the people you send them to. =46requently Asked Questions (FAQs) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Read the Frequently Asked Question list (FAQ) for the appropriate newsgroup or mailing list before posting anything. A list of the FAQs available for the soc.genealogy.* newsgroups can be found in the Genealogy Meta-FAQ which is available via the WWW at the URL http://www.meertech.demon.co.uk/genuki/meta-faq.htm. It is also avaialable via email by sending the following message: To: listserv@meertech.demon.co.uk Subject: <Leave Blank> get meta-faq end =20 The Meta-FAQ is posted periodically to all soc.genealogy.* newsgroups. Users new to Usenet should also read the informational postinmgs available in the news.announce.newusers newsgroup and at the URL http://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.announce.newusers. The Use of Upper Case or CAPITALS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In order to allow people to quickly scan your message to see if it might be of interest to them, remember to put surnames and place names in captials. This will help them to stand out. However, do not put everything in capitals as this is considered to be SHOUTING. =46urther Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you want more information, there is a very good web page on Netiquette at the URL <http://www.fau.edu/rinaldi/netiquette.html> On the topic of junk mail, take a look at the following URLs * http://www.crew.umich.edu/~chymes/newusers/Think.html * http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/CIACHoaxes.html * http://www.vix.com/spam/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Netiquette / V1.9 - 1998/09/27 / john@meertech.demon.co.uk =20

This NG seems empty to me. Is there ayone around to answer this question: Does anyone know of any records kept by slave traders, about where they picked up the "merchandise" and where the slaves were brought ashore? If so is it on the WWW? Does anyone know if african names were kept by slaves, so that persons who now bear the names of the formal family-owners can find their historical african names? Any sites on slavery known and recommanded? Is there a FAQ for this site, if so can i have a copy please? TIA Aunt Agatha

I find the insistence that some black people make that their white ancestry should be ignored very disturbing. If one is a genalogist, one must take all ancestry equally, however sordid and unpleasant it may seem. Also, many people (of all ancestries) do not realize some "black" were free during much of the period of slavery, and practiced the same abonimations (i.e., slavery) as did some whites. Since we are referring to Jefferson/Hemings here, we do have a specific point of reference; I understand. The tendency to jump to conclusions about ancestry based on race, however, is at the least detrimental to the pursuit of genealogical truth, and at most dishonest to oneself. >I find this obsession with White ancestors rather disturbing.
