No, we are pointing out to you that you are exploiting a discussion forum for free advertizing. Decades of Usenet convention have been established, and you are acting counter to it. > Quintin Publications is a family Owned and Operated and well > known in the Qenealogy community. Everton's anad Dick Eastman Dick Eastman has been on Usenet for a very long time. Perhaps you should have checked with him to understand the medium before you misused it and showed yourself as someone to avoid. An intelligent response from you at this point would be to admit the mistake and to stop doing it. A poor decision would be to continue to dig in your heels when you are wrong.

Hi folk.... Appreciate any views on use of this system. Paul

http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/ U.S. Surgeon General's Family History Initiative Health care professionals have known for a long time that common diseases - heart disease, cancer, and diabetes - and even rare diseases - like hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia - can run in families. If one generation of a family has high blood pressure, it is not unusual for the next generation to have similarly high blood pressure. Tracing the illnesses suffered by your parents, grandparents, and other blood relatives can help your doctor predict the disorders to which you may be at risk and take action to keep you and your family healthy. To help focus attention on the importance of family history, the U.S. Surgeon General in cooperation with other agencies with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has launched a national public health campaign, called the U.S. Surgeon General's Family History Initiative, to encourage all American families to learn more about their family health history. In addition to the Office of the Surgeon General, other HHS agencies involved in this project include the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) at the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). My Family Health Portrait Access My Family Health Portrait web version Americans know that family history is important to health. A recent survey found that 96 percent of Americans believe that knowing their family history is important. Yet, the same survey found that only one- third of Americans have ever tried to gather and write down their family's health history. Because family health history is such a powerful screening tool, the Surgeon General has created a new computerized tool to help make it fun and easy for anyone to create a sophisticated portrait of their family's health. This new, revised version of the tool, called "My Family Health Portrait" is a web-enabled program that runs on any computer that?s connected to the web and running an up-to-date version of any major Internet browser. The new version of the tools offers numerous advantages over previous versions, which had to be downloaded to the user?s computer, but only those running the Microsoft Windows operating system. The web-based tool helps users organized family history information and then print it out for presentation to the family doctor. In addition, the tool helps users save their family history information to their own computer and even share family history information with other family members. The tool can be accessed at https://familyhistory.hhs.gov/. If users prefer, they still can download the My Family Health Portrait software directly onto their own computers. The downloadable version of the tool can be accessed at: http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/download.html. The U.S. Surgeon General makes the tool freely available to all users. No user information is saved on any computer of the U.S. federal government. See the Privacy and Security Policy on the tool for more information. When you are finished organizing your family history information, the tool will create and print out a graphical representation of your family's generations and the health disorders that may have moved from one generation to the next. That is a powerful tool for predicting any illnesses for which you should be checked. National Family History Day, 2006 Acting Surgeon General Kenneth P. Moritsugu, M.D., M.P.H., has declared Thanksgiving 2006 to be the third annual National Family History Day. Over the holiday or at other times when families gather, the Surgeon General encourages Americans to talk about, and to write down, the health problems that seem to run in their family. Learning about their family's health history may help ensure a longer, healthier future together. As part of the effort to educate people about the importance of knowing their family health histories, the Surgeon General's Office announced two new HHS-funded outreach projects involving Alaska Native and urban Appalachian communities. In addition, other HHS-funded efforts are encouraging state health departments in Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon and Utah to increase awareness about family history among health care providers and the general public. For more information on other activities of the Office of the Surgeon General, please visit www.surgeongeneral.gov. Surgeon General's Family History Initiative Press Conference The new tool was released on Nov. 15, 2005 during a press conference at Brigham and Women?s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts.

Had you advertised in the proper place (soc.genealogy.marketplace), I might have been interested. However, since you chose to spam a group where, if you're as experienced in the genealogy field as you claim, you must have known adverts aren't welcome, I can't buy from you. I don't do business with spammers. Pity. Lesley Robertson

"Over 17 years" implies a duration much closer to 17 than to 30. > Our I's are dotted and T's crossed.

With the quantity of known and trusted resources already available, jealousy doesn't come into it. Placing an advertisement in a group where it's not allowed and is not welcome is called spamming. The person or organisation placing said advertisement is called a spammer.

Everton's anad Dick Eastman For nearly all the Quebec's books, there is no indication of the original publisher. Can you explain that? No author, no original publisher's data for all those repertoires. But in other area, strangely, there is the name of the author. http://www.quintinpublications.com/category/Joliette_County_Reps nearly all books in this page have this comment: **** Currently in stock and ready for printing **** Now, what do you mean by "ready for printing" if it is not that you are selling photocopies and not the original books from the rights owner ? Legitimate rights owner is Societe de genealogie de Lanaudiere. See catalogue at http://www.sgl.lanaudiere.net/publicationssgl.pdf AND THEY DON'T SELL ANYTHING ON CD-ROM ditto for material from so many other societies or originally sold by Pontbriand or Bergeron for example. Can you put somewhere on your site a statement saying clearly that you are selling only original books and no home made photocopies ? If you sell photocopies, can you put on your site any copy of an agreement with the original rights owner? Perhaps you prefer I post a list of links to original publishers so that netters can purchase directly from the publishers www.editionsbergeron.com/catalogue/Books.php?category_id=1& www.genealogie.org/club/sglaurentides/edition.htm www.sgq.qc.ca/publications/repertoires.htm www.sgar.org/publicat.htm www.cybernaute.com/sgs/publications.htm www.sgcf.com/publicat.php www.genealogieoutaouais.com/publicat.htm you can see more links at http://www.public.sogetel.net/devalter/Publications.htm

As was said- the marketplace group is where you should be posting. Unless, of course, you are making a one time announcement of a particular book that deals with using computers in genealogy.

If you want Quebec genealogical data, use a legal bookstore. An example is the www.bms2000.org database or the PRDH database.

Thank you - got most of those forms - nearly all of them manual forms. What I really need is a computer form (replica of the above manual ones) which can be filled in and published on a website as a unit. I would also want to be able to send blank forms electronically to others to be filled in on-line and returned to me to be updated on line. Any suggestions? Thanks Gerry

I looked at a lot of software over the last couple of days, but I decided on GenViewer by Mudcreek software. Although they offer a special free version designed for installing on a CD, as well as a free "lite" version, I opted to get the full version (only $20) which includes a neat feature of being able to create a GEDCOM self-viewer that may be freely distributed. With this feature, I can put an executable on our family CD that will automatically install and run a viewer for whatever GEDCOM I select. This gives the user the ability to view the data in a variety of ways, including traditional pedigree charts (which the free GENVIEWER lite does not include).
