Thanks to all who replied to my question about the "Foxfire" books. They sound quite educational and a wonderful way to envision how our ancestors lived.

These books are written in Rabun Co, Ga and are collections of all kinds of information gathered thru interviews with 'old timers' in that area. There are about 10 or so volumes plus some specialty collections on things like cooking , toy making, etc. I bought the cooking collection for my mother and I get wait to inherit it!! It told how things were made before refrigeration.....things like cottage cheese and other interesting things, not just the run of the mill food Volume One TELLS ABOUT: HOG DRESSING, LOG CABIN BUILDING, MOUNTAIN CRAFTS AND FOODS, PLANTING BY THE SIGNS, SNAKE LORE, HUNTING TALES, FAITH HEALING , MOONSHINING, AND OTHER AFFAIRS OF PLAIN LIVING........ Volume 2 tells about: GHOST STORIES, SPRING WILD PLANT FOODS, SPINNING AND WEAVING, MIDWIFING, BURIAL CUSTOMS, CORN SHUCKIN'S AND WAGON MAKING..... There are many pictures. Hope this gives you an idea. Edie in Atlanta [email protected]

I am looking for the website where people who own World Family Tree Cd's advertise that they will look up info. I had it at one time, and deleted it from my favorite places, because I never used it. Now I need it, of course !! Thanks. Patty

I have an old picture of someone who my sister looks like. This picture belonged to my grandmother but she is no longer living. We asked other living relatives and nobody seems to know who she is. How would I go about finding out if she is a relative?

Of course that was supposed to say BarnesandNobel.com

I remember that series of Foxfire books from the 70's. Looks like you can find all 10+ at BanesandNobel.com. Happy Hunting.

Heads up............. W32/Pretty.Park Aliases: Pretty Worm Ici pour French Translation Virus Characteristics: This is a worm that infects Windows 9x/NT files.

There was a series of book written by school children and their teacher in the Appalachian area about "the old folk", recounting the arts of independent living, soap making, butchering, etc. I believe I have the entire set. Let me know what you need, perhaps I can find it and send the information on to you.

My mother has the series of the Fox Fire Books and they are wonderful books telling of how it was way back then and how they made things.

Hi all: I have exhausted all resources that I can think of to find my great uncle Richard Crist that was taken from Seattle WA and placed in a camp and subsequently died. Nara can't help! Japanese-American National Museum in Los Angeles referred me back to Nara. National Archives at College Park . Does anyone out there have any other ideas. Someone said the Federal Government would have a list. How the heck would I get in touch with them. DON'T KNOW BILL! Just kidding will look forward to hearing from SOMEONE on this. Sandy P

My great uncle just wrote me telling me that the best reference to all of his family (Siler, Emmons, Homsher) will be found in Fox Fire Book #4 in any library. Unfortuenately I am living overseas and can't access one. This doens't sound like a complete title to a book so my question is, does anyone know of this book what he may be refering to? Thanks for any help or ideas! Stephanie Leary [email protected]

While yard sale-ing last weekend, I came across a book written in 1939 that includes information on the graduating class of 1929 from Harvard College. The book includes a short autobiography from each of the members and lists occupation, home address, business address, and spouse name and the names of any children. Some of them also include the marriage date. There is no index, but the names are in alphabetical order, so I will be happy to do searches (within reason). If your ancestor went to Harvard and could have possibly graduated in 1929, e-mail me. Jennifer

I am looking for a young woman that came to Texas with her family in about 1856 from Ms. or Tn. She was either pregnant or had a small baby or child. She later married a Mr. Foster that was a good bit older than she was. They lived in a dugout shelter in Calahan Co. They had three children. One a boy called "Bud" It is a possibility that her first name is Jane, but not certainty. It is a possibility the baby's father was John Milton Smith also of Tn.. or Ms. This Miss Cleveland is my husband's ggg grandmother. Any help would be appreciated by a whole big family that is willing to share. I keep running into walls. Linda Bowden
