Does anyone know how this novice can find divorce records for New York City sometime between 1918-1937. It may help that the wife involved played the balalaika at the Russian Tea Room in NY and the grounds were moral turpitude. Thanks so much for your help.

Can someone tell me what nationality Kaska name would be? This elusive member of my family never has come up on the net in the year that I have been doing genealogy. His full name is William Carl Kaska and was married to my great grandmother Bertha Marie Christ about 1897 in Fond du Lac, WI. But I haven't been able to find him there. Sandy P

How to use the GenExchange: The GenExchange Project has been growing by leaps and bounds, adding an average of 29,000 records monthly. In an effort to better manage the GenExchange, we are transitioning over to a county based organization where dedicated individuals will adopt the GenExchange county and state sites; administering them, and coordinating data entry projects. Other than aesthetics, nothing fundamental is changing about the GenExchange because the GenExchange has always collected data from across the United States, which was searchable using the easy search forms. Once the transition process is complete, data will be searchable on a county by county basis, except for data which pertains to multiple counties, which will be searchable on a state by state basis. During the transition The USGenExchange page at http://www.genexchange.com/us.cfm will keep you up to date on state sites which have opened county sites, and those that you can still search all state data on an entire state basis. How to become involved: The very foundation of the GenExchange is community participation, and getting involved is easy. Anyone can visit the GenExchange and enter their own data using the easy entry forms, which automatically enter data into the database where it's immediately viewable. This method works best for people with small or medium amounts of data they wish to enter. If you have large amounts of data you intend to enter, there are also files you can download, which you enter your data to and submit the file to the GenExchange. We'll directly import the data for you. Becoming a member of the GenExchange, and adopting a county, or a state GenExchange site is also very easy. To adopt a county, simply visit the state you'd like to work in, select the Counties List link and click on the adopt me link. Fill out the form and someone will contact you shortly thereafter. To adopt a state, simply click on the adopt me link and fill out the form. If you are interested in working on a data entry project with a County or State contact please contact that person directly. For more information please read http://www.genexchange.com/volunteers.cfm and http://www.genexchange.com/volunteering.cfm How to nominate a site for our award: Monthly we award one website that reflects excellence in the pursuit of providing raw genealogical data to the researcher on the internet. The awarded web site is profiled on the main pages of the GenExchange for a calendar month, and is announced in our monthly newsletter--the Exchange. If you are interested in submitting a web site for the GenExchange award please visit http://www.genexchange.com/gesr/nominateform.cfm How to keep up to date about the GenExchange: The GenExchange publishes a monthy newsletter called the Exchange, where we pass along important information regarding current and future planning, site statistics, and guest articles. The monthly GenExchange Award of Genealogical Excellence is also announced, and important genealogical newsbits are republished from other genealogical newsletters. The Exchange is published every month on the 1st, and back issues can be located at http://www.genexchange.como/gesr/archive.cfm.

Hi I was wondering if anyone knew how a person went about becoming a Physician/Doctor in the 1820's or 1830's. I have a ggg grandfather who is listed in several census as being a Physician. He was born in NC (wake co. ca.1807) and I know that he was in Florida at some point. He and his family came back to NC where he died ca 1870-1880. Just for clarification his name is John Sanders NEIGHBOURS. I would like to find out how he became a doctor and why he went to Florida. Was there some reason he might have gone (and taken his family with him) regarding his occupation? Thanks very much for any help.

Information on tombstone tracing, as well as dating old photographs and scanning tips, appears at http://www.familychronicle.com I know they talk about cleaning the tombstone before making a tracing, but I don't know how detailed it is. You might want to start there.

The best way is to take photographs!! Arlene in FL -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, May 18, 1999 1:45 AM Subject: GenTips-D Digest V99 #157

I would quibble with one of her shown steps: when putting the paper on the stone, it should be a large enough piece that it can be *TAPED TO ITSELF*. There should be no tape that touches the stone. She also skimped on the cleaning step, which should be *very gentle.* The older the stone, the gentler!

To Linda again, I no sooner sent that last email than my very next message from Family Tree Maker said: "We all think that tombstones will survive forever. After all, they are made of rock. Unfortunately that is not the case. Many people love to get images of the family tombstones. However, some of the methods of getting these images can damage the tombtones. There are certain products that will actually damage the tombstones, especially they older ones. For many years people would use shaving cream. And there are still debates about this. You can purchase kits for taking tombstone rubbings. And there are some wonderful sites on the Internet that will give you lists of needed materials and the steps for making safe tombstone rubbings. One such site is Sabina J. Murray's Tombstone Rubbings at http://www.firstct.com/fv/t_stone.html which in addition to having the steps has some great pictures of old tombstones." Hope this helps, Billie

To Linda, There is a website that describes just what to do when cleaning or copying tombstones but I have lost it. Perhaps someone on the list has the address Billie

The Geographic Nameserver is a good one for finding places: http://www.mit.edu:8001/geo It tells me that a Denton, Kansas is in Doniphan and Jewell counties, but it only gives a zip code and population count for the Doniphan entry -- perhaps that may help? -- Betsy Jones ><> [email protected] http://members.tripod.com/~Merlisk/index.html
