This isn't a good week to try to contact them, though; the 1930 census opened this morning, and I expect they're swamped. However, you MIGHT be able to get on their website --- http://www.nara.gov and pick research room. Check the NAIL to see what's available. Then, goto http://www.familysearch.org and then to the Library and then to Catalog; check under locality, United States - and use your imagination (mine blanks out, sorry). Government, maybe? Too much to hope there's a Post Office entry, I guess. Hope this helps. Cheryl

If you or I were a postmaster in the 1870s, it wouldn't matter what country! Guiness (sp?) Book of World Records would show us. After all, one had to be 21 to get a government appointment of that sort, and this IS 2002 ...? Cheryl

I am the Adminstrator of the Hamler MyFamily Web Page which we use as a genealogical web site since there are seemingly so few Hamlers/Hammlers/Hamblers/Homblers/Hamblers. In particular I have a question about the last name of Hambler. I know that there are Hamblers who originated as "Hammlers" long ago in Germany. Over time, the spelling of their last name just changed. I have noticed that there are many, many more Hamblers in England than there are in America. I went to a web page of the city of Badsey in England and noted that when I went to the name of Ambler, I was directed to the name "Hambler." I emailed once with a man whose last name was "Ambler" and he denied that "Hamler" and "Ambler" had anything to do with each other. In fact, he said that *his* last name was derived from a horse-backriding term! (The German "Hammler" refers to "castrator of sheep.") There seem to be so many "Amblers" and "Hamblers" in England, I can't help but wonder of *these* Hamblers have a totally different derivation than most American "Hamblers"--whose name derives from "Hammler." Thansk for any possible help you can offer... Flanagan

Does anyone know if there are city directories for Torrington, Connecticut from 1902 to 1918? And if so, where I can access them? I'm trying to find the family of Elias LEVINE. They supposedly arrived thorugh Ellis Island in 1902, went to Torrington, and returned to New York City in 1918. I've located them there, but not in Torrington. Wouldn't you know, the LDS catalog has Torrington directories prior to 1902 and after 1930, but nothing in between. Many thanks for any information or suggestions.

I can endorse that - yes, fiddly at first but then, very flexible. I bought the CD version but exchanged it for the older, floppy disk version, because the newer one took longer to run, and if you told it to print/fit to page, it changed the file irredeemably, and jiggled everything round a bit; a nuisance if it wasn't right and you wanted to revert to the previous edition. No problems with the older version though! Is it still £20?

There is also another program that will print an All in One, this one does allow you to alter the size of the overall print, I don't like the layout it produces myself and I've read reports of spyware but if you want to take a look it's called, GenoPro" it's available for free download.

It's sometimes amazing what you can find in a search engine such as Google: http://www.google.com/ http://www.tngenweb.org/tnland/terms.htm "Processioned - Processioning is the surveying and inspection of boundaries formerly performed by the local authorities in some American colonies, and was replaced by the introduction of the practice of accurate surveying and recording. The term is only rarely see on old Tennessee surveys." Bob

Any idea what Processioned means? I've seen it in the Chalkley Chronicles and other ca1750 records: "Page 445.--1767-68: Processioned by Henry Stoon and Henry Pickle, Sr., viz: For Honnical Simmons, for Hannah Hawse, for Posley Hover, for Mark Swadley, for Henry Pickle, ..."

TreeDraw is a great program for that *IF* you have a lot of time and patience! I've tried it a couple of times and thrown my hands up in disgust at the difficulty of using the program!! At least you can try it out before buying. For Legacy users, TreeDraw comes as an add-on that will read Legacy files directly without needing to do a gedcom. Sherry.

Once you have created the initial descendant/ancestor chart, you can import the descendants/ancestors of further people. For instance, we are currently creating a chart for a client of the descendants of 10 linked ancestral lines. 2. Once the chart is drawn every element of it is addressable and can be moved around.

I found the listing in the SSDeath Index of my uncle, long estranged from the family. He died in Pontiac, MI, four years ago. How do I obtain a death certificate? Richard
