forwarde from alt.obituaries Ann McFadden is a detective of death Mon, Nov. 12, 2007 BY ANA VECIANA-SUAREZ Looking for details about your great-grandfather's death 45 years ago? Searching for survivors of the friendly neighbor who died without a will? Can't find your long-lost cousin's grave? Ann Josberger McFadden is the woman for you. She is a sleuth, a sort of detective of death, a woman who has read and indexed thousands of published obituaries and researched the unusual history of a handful of South Florida cemeteries. For fun. ''I didn't mean for it to become a big thing,'' McFadden says with a little shrug. ``I just started, and I had more free time and. . . .'' Her voice trials into a smile. Seconds later, when prodded, she admits it also takes persistence to read tens of thousands of obituaries on microfiche and then painstakingly catalog each one by the deceased's last name, age, cemetery and date of death. Actually, it takes more than persistence. ``You need a lot of patience, absolutely.'' Husband Nelson McFadden chuckles from a corner of the couple's West Miami-Dade living room, where he is reading a magazine. ''Yep, a little patience,'' he chortles. ''And how do you say it in Spanish? Muy loco en la cabeza.'' Very crazy in the head. McFadden, 74, fell into this research by accident. As a child she didn't care much for history. ''My grandmother lived with us for 25 years, and I never asked her a single question about her family,'' she recalls. But back in 1980, McFadden's brother recruited her in his search for family roots. As a high school graduate with no specialized research skills, she wasn't particularly interested, but she also had a lot of time on her hands. Her seven children were grown. McFadden's brother didn't last long in the endeavor. ``He quit after a month, and I'm still at it.'' Tracing her roots led McFadden to Philadelphia where she was born and spent her first 12 years. When she tried to get a copy of her great- grandfather's obituary, however, her request and the $5 fee were returned because there was no index of obituaries and no one to do the research. Figuring Miami had the same problem, she took it upon herself to index obituaries from The Miami Herald, Miami News, South Dade News Leader and Miami Times. She began with 1940 to 1950 -- and never stopped. 'Word got around that I was doing this, and I started getting calls for obituaries from other years. Somebody needed to find a person who had died in 1960 or 1970 or 1935. And so I said, `Oh, why not do all of them?' '' She now has about 120 years' worth of records. In the process, McFadden became something of a fixture at Miami's downtown Main Library, completing a 4,000-page obit index that is regarded as a marvel. She expands it every year. ''We get a lot of requests for obituaries,'' says Renee Pierce, genealogy manager for Miami-Dade Public Library, ``and if we didn't have Ann's work or an exact date for the person, we could be reading microfiche for months and maybe not even find it.'' Pierce, who has known McFadden for 20 years, adds that the would-be genealogist has little use for attention and accolades. ''Ann's a real gem,'' Pierce says. ``You sit her down in front of the computer, and she goes to town.'' McFadden also has indexed local adoption, military and probate records and has compiled a short history of a handful of local cemeteries, including Palms Woodlawn in Naranja, Miami City Cemetery on Northeast Second Avenue, Pinewood in Coral Gables and Woodlawn North on Southwest Eighth Street. Along with other local historians, she contributed to Miami Diary, 1896: A Day by Day Account of Events that Occurred the year Miami became a City. McFadden's latest challenge was to index, by topic, the Agnew Welsh Collection for the public library, more than 220 books of newspaper clippings kept by a former newspaper editor on a variety of local subjects. The project took three years. When the library insisted on paying her, she charged 55 cents a page, for the 762 pages: $419.10, quite a bargain, given that each page took six to seven hours to compile. ''Well,'' she says, ``I wasn't doing it for the money.'' McFadden's quiet, matter-of-fact diligence has won other fans. ''She's done a phenomenal amount of indexing that makes our job 100 times easier,'' says John Shipley of the library's Helen Muir Florida Collection. ``Ann is my hero.'' When Coral Gables police asked for help to find the correct location for a tombstone that had been discarded on the street, she used the name of the deceased to track down the cemetery where the marker belonged. When someone from up North needed information about the last residence of a long-dead relative, a well-known poetess, McFadden not only found its Miami Beach location but also trekked over with a friend to take pictures of the 1920s house because it had a poem etched into the driveway. She used shaving cream, a trick she had learned during her research wanderings, to make the words stand out. So what about her own journey back into history? Has she found anything interesting? ''Well,'' she says, ''my ancestors were all pretty common folk. My mother's family comes from Ireland and my father's from Germany, and they were very poor.'' But she has had fun traveling to churches and cemetery offices to research their marriages and deaths. Ironically, McFadden doesn't often traipse through cemeteries. The information she needs can be found in ledgers and books, and she's been to her parents' graves only two or three times, usually when she's at the cemetery anyway for a burial. She doesn't understand why relatives fuss over misplaced remains because ''I choose to remember my loved ones in a different way, like right here.'' She points to her head. What's more, she wants to be cremated. ''Land is already being filled up,'' she says in her characteristically offhand way, ``and I don't think it [burial] is really necessary.'' http://www.miamiherald.com/tropical_life/story/303804.html -- Steve Hayes E-mail: hayesmstw@hotmail.com (see web page if it doesn't work) Web: http://hayesfam.bravehost.com/famhist1.htm http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7783/

Brighton Day Trip - 24/Sept/1998 Certainty level: 5% On a day trip to Brighton, carrying a minidisc recorder, I managed to collect several indistinct instances of what I think were people swearing at me. Between the 0.5 and 1.5 second marks of the above recording is something that sounds like "nutter". I recorded at least three other much more obscene sexual words on the same day. I don't honestly think the "nutter" recorded here is part of the conspiracy against me. I've been called similar things elsewhere, where it's been blindingly clear that the insult does form part of the conspiracy - but not in this case. This illustrates quite a worrying point - as a result of the many years of abuse "in public", I now sometimes simply don't know whether somebody is insulting me because they think I look like a dweeb, or whether the conspiracy is in action. Sometimes, due to background noise and people talking quietly relative to ambient noise, I can't be sure of what's being said, even after listening to it again on my minidisc. Or put another way, I now have a mild form of what I recognise to be occasional auditory delusions - but these are fuelled by the many years of actual verbal abuse. 9596 -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service ------->>>>>>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access

Virgin Radio-Johnny Boy (21/August/1998) Certainty level: 60% On Saturday 15 August 1998 I attended a gathering of contributors to newsgroup uk.misc at London's Victoria railway station. Also present was Simon G, who had previously given this description of what he would be wearing; At 06:36 AM 13/8/98 GMT, Simon wrote: >further clarification to aid recognition, i'll be wearing >a t shirt, a brown suede waistcoat, a brown suede miniskirt, >& a pair of patchwork leggings (& may have a widebrimmed straw >hat, too). It is my belief that my persecutors, who monitor my home telephone line (and consequently read all modem communications including email), were aware of this meeting, and may even have observed the "meat" taking place. Following the "meat" it seemed to me that one or two attempts were made by my persecutors to portray me as "gay", on the basis of Simon's suede miniskirt, which in their inventiveness my persecutors attributed to me, not Simon. (Just for the record, Simon is hetero, and has agreed to the above email extract being published.) The following item from Johnny Boy's Wheels of Steel (between 7pm-11pm, Friday 21/8/98) is one such attempt. (conversation) (J=Johnny-Boy, H=Hipster) J: Texas of course part of V98 this weekend enjoy it if you're going. Keep your eyes out on Sunday in Chelmsford for Hipster, because he's going to be there. What are you going to be wearing? H: I'll be wearing my, er, my suede shorts. (sycophantic laughter) J: and believe me he ain't joking, he ain't joking. OK coming next at Virgin on the Wheels of Steel... Why do I think Hipster's "suede shorts" refers to Simon's mini-skirt? Because "suede" in both cases (obvious!); because "suede shorts" indicates "gay" which they were trying to pin on me; because "shorts" = something short, such as a "mini"-skirt; and because the two DJs both laughed as soon as Hipster said "suede shorts", they knew what the joke was, they knew that they were meant (and probably paid) to find it funny. 5248 -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service ------->>>>>>http://www.NewsDemon.com<<<<<<------ Unlimited Access, Anonymous Accounts, Uncensored Broadband Access

As was the case with his father, Otto II, a suitable bride was sought for him among the Byzantine imperial family. It was arranged that he would wed the Byzantine princess Zoe (b. c978), the daughter of Emperor Constantine VIII. In 1002, the young woman was sent to Italy where the wedding would take place but, before she arrived, Otto died at Ravenna, the victim of either malaria or poison. Robert S.

Y A O H Ú S H U A FACTS SHOCKING BUT TRUE! 1. The real, original and genuine Name of our Creator in the original Hebrew Holy Scriptures is 'YAO-HOO' and that of the genuine Messiah is 'YAO-HOO-SHUA.' (accented on the syllable 'hoo') 2. Salvation is found in nobody else for there is no other name under heaven given to men for salvation except: 'YAOHÚSHUA' - Acts 4:12, Holy Scriptures. 3. Whoever calls upon the Name of 'YAOHÚSHUA' shall be saved from all the curses and penalties of sin, such as poverty, diseases, failures, bankruptcies, losses, earthquakes, wars, frustrations, AIDS, torment, insanity, family breakdowns, rebellions, divorces, tragedies, natural catastrophes, violence, death and hell - Deuteronomy 28, Holy Scriptures. 4. All have sinned and come short of the glory of YÁOHU UL, the Holy One of Israel; and the wages of sin is death. That's why unless a person is spiritually REBORN, he cannot enter the Kingdom of YÁOHU UL! - John 3:3, Holy Scriptures. (pronounced: yao-hoo ool, accented on the syllable 'yao') 5. For YÁOHU UL so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life! - John 3:16, Holy Scriptures 6. Salvation is a FREE GIFT of YÁOHU UL, out of the richness of His grace, not of works. No one shall be acquitted in YÁOHU UL's sight by obedience to the law, for to break a single command in the law of Moses is the same as breaking all of them! - Ephesians 2:8-9 and James 2:10, New Testament, Holy Scriptures. 7. And this is life eternal: that you may know YÁOHU UL, the only true Creator and the Messiah Whom He sent - YAOHÚSHUA! - John 17:3, Holy Scriptures 8. YAOHÚSHUA is the only Way, the Truth and the Life; no one can approach the Father, YÁOHU UL, except through the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA alone! All you have to do is to believe in His Name, make and receive the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA in your heart as your one and only individual life Ruler and Savior! Now is your time to repent, believe and trust the genuine Messiah YAOHÚSHUA to save you! - John 14:6, 1:12-13, Holy Scriptures 9. YAOHÚSHUA the Messiah died in your behalf, as your personal Substitute, and He personally suffered the penalties of all your sins! All you must now do is to believe and receive all the benefits of His redemptive work, it's that easy and simple. All your sins were already forgiven when the Messiah YAOHÚSHUA took on Himself all the penalties of your sins, and the only thing you must do now is to REPENT then believe, receive and personally appropriate for yourself all the eternal benefits of His total, complete redemption! 10. Our Creator-Head exists in a TRIUNE Eternal Nature: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. 'Triune' means three fully-united Eternal Beings. - 1 John 5:7, Holy Scriptures 11. You must not use the most-reverend, original Name of YÁOHU UL disrespectfully nor irreverently. You will not escape YÁOHU UL GABOR's punishment if you do. - Exodus 20:7, Holy Scriptures 12. The most-revered Name of our Creator-Head was CHANGED when the Hebrew 'Holy Scriptures' was translated into different languages and dialects; thus, the Name of our Creator and His Messiah was CHANGED into DIFFERENT names of various pagan and cultic idols! Be sure you are not relying on fake creators and false messiahs! Beware! It's your life and only soul at risk! Prepare for eternity now! Discover truths that will set you free! Truths long ignored by many and which only the original Messiah YAOHÚSHUA can reveal to honest seekers of truth! YAOHÚSHUA is the Truth! YAOHÚSHUA is the genuine Messiah and no one else! He can really save, deliver, heal, protect, prosper and help you! Remember, THERE IS NO OTHER NAME under heaven given to men for salvation except this Name above every name: YAOHÚSHUA! Salvation is found in no other name, repeat, no other name! Call or write soonest for your free literature which reveal clear, obvious yet ignored facts in the Holy Scriptures (Biblia Hebraica)! "'YÁOHU' - this is My Name forever by which I am to be called and remembered from generation to generation!" - Exodus 3:15, Holy Scriptures 'Salvation is found in nobody else for there is no other name under heaven given to men for salvation except the Name: YAOHÚSHUA!' - Acts 4:12, Holy Scriptures For further enlightening revelation knowledge, please avail of the following HTML or TEXT guidelines soonest: Titles Filenames 'YAO-HOO-SHUA - The Messiah' YAOHUSH.TXT 'YAOHÚSHUA - The Healer and Exorcist' HEALER.TXT 'Messiah's Qualifications' QUALI.TXT 'Free Gift Especially for You!'

Genealogists, family historians, and family associations can now use a collaborative platform to preserve genealogy and family history. Salt Lake City, UT (Bluehost/PRWEB ) September 19, 2007 - With the recent launch of family history Web site FamilyInHistory.com (http:// www.familyinhistory.com), genealogy is now a collaborative effort, involving entire families and all generations. The search for ancestors used to be a solitary pursuit, but the collaboration capabilities of FamilyInHistory.com allow every family member to contribute to the effort. "Imagine if 10, 100, or even 1000 people were all working together and contributing information on the same family tree," says David Grow, founder and CEO of FamilyInHistory. "We're making it more than just genealogy and names and dates, it's about your family in history; who they were, what they did, what they looked like," says Grow. "By working together to put stories and pictures to the names and dates that have already been found, ancestors come alive as more than names on paper. They become real people with faces and personalities. The most efficient way to accomplish and view the work is through a collaborative Web site," says Grow. Family associations use FamilyInHistory as a simple way to include more members in tracing ancestors and to get them involved in the association. The blog allows them to share information with everyone quickly and efficiently. "A resource like this is invaluable to a family association," says Robert Grow, President of the Jared Pratt Family Association. "Thousands of Jared Pratt descendants are able to share and contribute genealogy information in a very convenient way." "We can make much more progress on tracing all of the branches of our family tree when so many people are actively involved." says Robert Grow. "It's exciting to learn about our ancestors as individuals who lived incredible lives, and now more of us can work together to build that library of information to share." Giving an identity to ancestors and recognizing how they were part of important historical eras, like the Civil War, pioneer efforts, or immigrating to make a new life in the United States, draws the younger generations to genealogy. They are becoming interested in the people who came before them. Leo Ebbert, a 28-year old CPA and financial advisor has been working on his family's genealogy with his mother. "For years it was just my mom working on our family history," says Ebbert. "Recently both of us have been working on it, and we are accomplishing a little more." "I love the idea of putting our family history information on a collaborative Web site so more of my siblings can see it and get interested," he says. "It would be great to have more of us involved, and I think that knowing our ancestors as real people will make it more interesting to them." FamilyInHistory subscribers have a personalized genealogy Web site to store and share genealogy information, photos, stories, current information and more. Each ancestor has a page with personal information like important dates and photos, as well as a personal timeline. Genealogy research was modernized several years ago with the use of family history software that converts to genealogy data communication (GEDCOM) format, a generic format compatible with most family history software. Anyone with a computer and an internet connection can easily upload GEDCOM files to their custom FamilyInHistory Web site. About FamilyInHistory.com FamilyInHistory.com is a privately-owned company that provides personalized genealogy Web sites and collaborative capabilities.
