Joe, Many libraries have older copies of Who's who in their reference section. If your library doesn't, let me know and I'll check with mine. Edith ecfensom@aol.com <Does anybody have access to Who's Who from anytime during the 1940's - 60's?>

The genealogy seminars that I've attended and the ones that I've only heard on tape have helped me to no end. Even on things that I've done for years, I often pick up a tidbit or two that helps give new perspective to a resource and helps me extend my research. Go prepared to take notes--either on the handouts in the margins, or in your own notebook. And since many have venders with their genealogy & related products, its worth taking extra money--just in case. Have fun going to some. Karen

At home, usually means that they are not at school or working. M.G. stands for Minister of the Gospel. Karen

I'm sorry if I confused everyone. The census' that I'm looking is for New York City. Some states take state census' in-between federal census. This is the information that I'm looking for.

Hi Joanne! I received the following to post in the Genealogy Forum on AOL. Perhaps this will help. It is with great pleasure that the Dallas Genealogical Society announces the Institute of Genealogical Studies conference. The conference is scheduled for July 26-31, 1998. This important event is being presented by the Dallas Genealogical Society. For more information on this event, please visit the Dallas Genealogical Society's Web site at www.cyberramp.net/~igs.

Does anyone know whom I might contact to get information on my 1st. cousin who served in the Pacific theatre and was medically discharded from the US Army? All I have on him is his name Heribert Maria Katrina Buerger (Burger) and that he immigrated from Germany as a child. I have no idea on his birthdate, place/date of discharge nor his parents names. I don't even know if he is dead or alive. If alive he would be approximately 70-80 yrs. old. If I can find anything out about him it will help me on my family tree tremendously. This cousin holds the key to other important info on my father's side of the family, he is the only link I have to one of my dad's brothers whose name I do not know. Thanks to anyone who might be able to help. doodle

Hello this evening, I have looked for, and cannot find an address for a searchable database similar to the Arkansas and other southern land files. I am interested in Texas and New Mexico. Has anyone accessed something like this? New Mexico has freatly enhanced greatly sites, and I know they are trying, But I would like to search like the http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/asp/queryAR.asp site. Can someone help? Thanks Marcia

Much in the NEWS these past 10 years, has DNA testing ever been applied to genealogy. I have found an elderly person I firmly believe to be may 2nd cousin one removed. But as yet, I have not located documentation. If I could establish a connection, it would tie me into a line going back to the 13th century. I expect that the lab work would be expensive. Also, while I don't know, I think (usually) it can best be "exclusive". In-other-words, it can determine non-relationship, but not positively determine if there was a relationship. Regards to all, Maybe it is only self-interest, but this could be an interesting thread if anyone knows enough to make a contribution. Frankly, I don't even know how to start investigating this technology. -- Jim McDonnell Seattle seamus@seanet.com A surplus of leisure; a bare sufficiency of funds.

Barry, I think the term "at home" on the census usually referred to underage children who either were still in school or too young for school. It could have also referred to the wife being a housewife. It was usually listed in the occupation column so basically it meant that that person did not have a paying job. I think the term "m.g." probably meant minister of the gospel in referring to the person officiating. Possibly, a magistrate, but I would think it more likely a minister of the gospel.

AOL will not allow me to cut Email I recieve. I havee no problem highlighting what a want to save, going to Edit and clicking on Copy. Then I go to File and click on New. When the new window comes up I go to Edit and Click on Paste. Generally I get just what I highlighted. (Maybe twice when I did this all I got was black.) I then title it and save it to a disc.

When I read the digest from of a user list such as gentips and other, I sometimes want to cut and save just a segment of the whole digest. I cannot cut and save a portion, even though I go through the motions of highlighting copy/paste/save just a paragraph, I open it later and the whole digest has been saved... I do not want the whole digest. Is this endemic of the digest form? or is it a problem I can correct? suggestions?
