Judith: if you are talking about your signature block for your e-mail, just go up to the top of your screen where you see Mail, click on that and go to Options and then click on Options. When that opens, you should see several tabs and one says Signature. Just click on that and you can turn on/off your signature there. I am using Microsoft IE so my instructions are based on that. I also have Cybermedia Uninstall and it won't turn on/off your signature block so be careful. I only use that program to REMOVE unwanted programs from my system. Hope this helps. george George gebasden@worldnet.att.net http://www.basden.com ---------- > From: by way of Genealogy Records Service <info@genrecords.com> <JHUGH1118@aol.com> > To: GenTips-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Question?? > Date: Friday, June 05, 1998 5:47 AM > > He to all, > > Have any of you dear friends used "CyberMedia UNINSTALLER DELUXE, CLEANS > WINDOWS AUTOMATICALLY". includes Full VIRUS PROTECTION? > > Please explain in simple terms as I still don't know where to turn off and on > my signature file. > > Thanks to all in advance, > > Judith > > HANKS,MARTIN,BOONE,POWELL,HOWELL,BUSH,PIKE,MYERS,RINGO,FRENCH,PLACE,WILLOUGH BY > S,JACKSON,WILLIAMSON > > > ==== GenTips Mailing List ==== > If you need to unsubscribe to GenTips email the command: > unsubscribe > To: > GenTips-L-REQUEST@rootsweb.com > DON'T send it to GenTips-L that won't work! > > > > > > > > >

I am researching the CAPRA's from Cumberland, Baron County, Wisconsin. From what I understand, most of them are related to me in some way. Does anyone live in that area who knows any of the CAPRA'S? Thanks for all the help. Sandy

Hi, Melinda, I have a cousin who is married to a BURRIS. I can call them and ask if they have any family info., but it would help if you gave a place and time period, but especially a place/area of the country. These BURRIS's are in OK. If interested, let me know.

I use netscape communicator for both email and internet surfing. I can click on the http:// links and go where it takes me. It just opens up a navigator window placing my mail window in the background. Wouldn't use anything else.

I believe someone else answered with good general advice, but, no, my mother received a death benefit when my father died. She is in the Index but she never worked under Social Security. Similarly, two aunts are in the Index based solely on a death benefit. My mother never drew a widow's social security benefit, she died before she reached the eligible age. M. B.

This is a great lead, or thot. I wonder how many brick walls out there could be gotten over because of this.?! I had never thot to look for an "Americanized" or translation of name. I have been stumped on the nick name or derivative name as was pointed out. But if there was a "stage" name, or an translated name, a whole new door is opened. I am at this time hunting for First names, as my ENTIRE family used the middle name everyday, a tradition I had also carried on. Wish I had thot better.! marcia -----Original Message----- From: Elaine Maddox (by way of Genealogy Records Service <info@genrecords.com>) <elainetm@worldnet.att.net> To: GenTips-L@rootsweb.com <GenTips-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Friday, June 05, 1998 12:41 AM Subject: Re: Growing up with sports Hi Mary Jane, Your story was very familiar to me. My grandfather was Michael Slepicka. He Americanized the name to Slepica. When my father (born in 1888) was a star of his North High School (Minneapolis), nationally acclaimed 1907 football team, the crowds knew that Slepicka translated loosely to Chicken (the actual translation is "hen"). He quickly was known as Chicken. He later played professionally for Calgary and Seattle, as well as some other minor league clubs, and the name stuck. In the 30's he legally changed his name to Chicken, the name I grew up with (a real good reason for marrying young <big grin>). Several of his male siblings used Chicken as young students when they followed him in sports, but my father was the only one to legalize the translation. Now, sons of my brother (a Chicken) are variously using Slepica and middle names as a last name. Either teasing is more vicious or skin is thinner. I remember the daily refrain in my school days in the 40's and 50's -- "Heyyyyyy Chicken, wanna neck?!" Elaine > The discussion of names & nicknames brought to mind my grandfather.

This is the answer to: "Fix the 'Favorite Places' aka 'Bookmarks', by providing ALPHABETIZING !" CEE

Now the practice is generally sold by the family to another doctor. That doesn't necessarily mean that all patients will transfer to the new doctor but frequently they do. I suspect the Doctor's widow or her probate attorney were in contact with another practicing physician in the town and that a similar arrangement occurred in the 1950's. The records would move from the deceased practitioner's office to the new doctor's office. In my own personal experience, the *new* doctor actually practiced in the deceased's doctor's office, phasing out appointments and patients to his preferred location over an extended period of time. by way of Genealogy Records Service wrote: > Hi.. > > Does anyone know what happens to the patient records of a private practice > physician who suddenly dies?

Hello Yolanda, Heather & All, Yolanda, you are absolutely correct yet I can save you a few steps; When you click in the browser's address bar, simply right click 1 time & then left click paste. Hit enter & you're on your way. There's no need to clear the address bar first nor any concern as to where the cursor in placed in the address bar when right clicking. I'm always looking for shorter routes to speed up browsing. ;-} Jo > In a message dated 6/5/1998 6:29:11 AM Central Daylight Time, PLODDY@wn.com.au > writes: > > << Do I assume that one has to write all these sites down or is there a way > of going straight into that web site?? > > Could I please have some suggestions re- this. > >> > > Heather, > You can highlight the address in the e-mail, go to edit on your server menu, > copy and then go to the URL address input line on your server (make sure it's > blank) and then put your curser in the beginning of the line and go back up to > edit and click paste, and the address you highlighted from the e-mail should > appear there. > Hope this helps. > Yolanda Pepper Miller

Hi Heather, I'm really sorry to hear that you are unable to use the link in an email message. I use Netscape and clickable links are available in that program. Hopefully, someone will be able to help you with Outlook Express, but it sure makes me realize that Netscape has some major advantages.

I just found a book in my local library that is a listing of Princess Anne County cemetaries and who is buried in them. If anyone needs to have a name looked up (only if they know the actual name of cemetary--the book is quite a few pages long and I do have a busy home life), I'd be happy to look something up for them.

By the way, if you want to translate ANY Web page you locate on the Internet to any of a host of languages, use the AltaVista search engine to locate it, and then use its TRANSLATE feature.

Early in the history of Social Security, people who were farmers or otherwise self-employed were not required to have SS numbers, hence you may not find the death of your ancestor/spouse in the death index if (s)he fell in one of these two categories. RR had their own, and somehow got exempted from SS, unless the person had worked elsewhere as well. Those groups are now required to have SS numbers and have had to for several years. For awhile, if a person died and no one claimed the death benefit, or if they hadn't been old enough to collect SS, they may not have appeared on the index. Someone told me recently that everybody is now showing up, but I think it's because the Funeral homes are becoming very diligent about turning in the form for families. Karen

Jo, Thank, I appreciate the tip, time is essential, lots of records to look up. Yolanda

Friends: please do not overlook the on line telephone books. I have made several successful contacts using it, finding that many families "stay put" for decades! Recently, I found a relative by marriage to the person I was hunting, using the on line phone book, about two weeks ago it was; yesterday I got a packet of info on this missing person and PICTURES, too. She had an obit of my person's spouse and dates of birth of their children from a family Bible, as well as a notation of where my relative died with a span of 5 years as "gestimate" of death date. What a treasure. MaisieAnn@aol.com Hudson, OH
