Is there any way you can (whilst connected to the net), click on recommended sites in the E- mail sectoin - then go staight to that web site. I use Outlook Express. I'm finding I have to write all these wonderful sites down accumulating heaps of paper). I've tried clicking onto the http:// (in blue) in the E-mail, hoping I could go straight to that site on the net, but alas it did not work. 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. Thankyou for your time,  Cheers, Heather Smith Carnarvon, Western Australia, AUSTRALIA

Hi.. Does anyone know what happens to the patient records of a private practice physician who suddenly dies?  This doctor died in the mid 1950's...in a small town.  If his practice was bought out by another doctor, what would he do with those records?  Is there a certain way the AMA requires these records to be handled? Thanks.......Mary

I have received several request for this list. I appologize to those of you who are tired of names, however....i had so many request, that i will post this one time....please, any of you who have names to add, and I am sure there are, mail me  mcollins@sfths.sft434.k12.ks.us I have been collecting these names for quite a while, Many time families had "special " names, these I do not consider nick names as such. The ones I have listed have been used by many families as accepted derivities of the proper name. I welcom additions to this list. Belive me, I have better things to do than wade through tons of paper looking for Hugh, when I could have looked, and then found  Montigue Le Fever. thanks marcia ABNER  ABE ABRAHAM  ABE ALBERT  AL  BERT ALFRED  AL  FRED ALLEN  AL ANDREW  ANDY  DREW ANTHONY  TONY ANTONIO  TONY BENJAMIN  BEN  JIMMIE CHARLES  CHAS CORNIELUS  NEIL DONALD  NOD ELIJAH  ELI  JACK EPHRIAM  RUMMY  FRANK FRANCIS  FRANK FRANKLIN  FRANK HAROLD  HANK IVON  JON JACOB  JAKE JAMES  JIM JEBADIAH  JEB  HUGH JONATHAN  JON  JACK JOSIAH  JOSEY  JOE SI LEVITICUS  LEVI  LEE MATHIAS  MATT MICHAEL  MIKE  MICK MONTEGUE  MONTIE  HUGH MONTGOMERY  MONTIE  EMORY NICHOLIS  NICK  COLE OLIVER  OLLIE  LEE RANDAL  RANDY  DELL DALE RICHARD  DICK  RICKEY ROBERT  ROB  BOB BERT RONALD  RON SAMEUL  LEM SHIRLEY  LEE SYLVESTER  SLY THOMAS  TOM TOBIAS  TOBY TYRONE  RONNIE VINCENT  VINNIE WALTER  WALLEY  WADDY WILLIAM  BILL  WILLIE

My father was an accountant for the company which later became Northern States Power, a major utility in the midwest.  My father worked at the electric company in Minneapolis in the very early 1900's, eventually becoming a chief accountant working at LaCrosse, Wisconsin and retiring from NSP there.  My uncle was a lineman for the same electric company in Minneapolis.  It would appear that they are a very early utility company.  I do remember the huge stockpiles of coal which generated the electricity.  I believe copies of pages from the city directories (1920 or 1930 Minneapolis) used the original name of the company.  If you would like I will attempt to locate that name.

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?!"

I have purchased the index for the 4th Union Calvery of Arkansas In it , My relative is listed as killed at DEVALLS BLUFF < AR> 9-26/1864. I cannot find a reference to DEVALL BLUFF. Do  any of you have such a reference you can point me to? There are quite a few who died at this place. Thanks marcia

Hi, I'm Linda, and your mail was on my list today. If you are interested in a Web Page, Diane Hill, does Web Pages at a very resonable price.  She has done excellent work for Union Pacific Railroad, and others. Her e-mail address is go577@airmail.net in the subject line put  Diane web page request info. You never know if you can afford it until you ask.  Diane is creating a web page for me, and I didn't think I could afford one.  Good Luck Linda T. Ft.

The discussion of names & nicknames brought to mind my grandfather.  When I requested a copy of his sister's obituary, the funeral home sent me the original page from the 1976 newspaper that the obit was on (someone there must be a pack rat worse than me!).  The surviving siblings included a Tom but not my grandfather Anthony Joseph (A.J.).  When I asked my dad about this, he told me my grandfather's brothers & sisters all called him Tom (knowing the right question to ask leads to more information!).  I had heard the story that my grandfather boxed professionally for about 2 years before he married my grandmother in 1910.  In 1906, he left home in New York City and went to live with an older brother in Jersey City, NJ.  He decided to box and used the name Tommy Leonard (after Leonard Street where his first bout was, wish I could find out why he chose Tommy) so the family wouldn't know & worry.  Well, I guess his secret didn't last long because my dad said his brothers & sisters found out and started calling him Tom.  So, if you can find out why a family member was called by a nickname or a completely different name, you may find another part of their life that you didn't know about.  I have newspaper articles about my grandfather's boxing and it has told me a lot about the type of person he was growing up ("At one time in his youth, he considered studying for the priesthood...When Tom was confirmed, he made a pledge that he would never drink, smoke or curse.  He kept the pledge all these years.").  If you have someone growing up in a large city in the early 1900's, maybe sports was a big part of their life and that's where their nickname or different name came from.  Mary Jane    ==== GenTips Mailing List ==== Don't forget to stop by our business web page for FREE genealogy forms and charts!

Pam, Try using a search engine like HotBot or MetaCrawler and looking for "electricity + history" or maybe electric/power companies. http://www.metacrawler.com http://www.metacrawler.com You could also look in history books at your library. I have a relative who was head electrician at the VA State Penitentiary about 1910. I figured he probably had something to do with the electric chair as well as fixing the wiring in the penitentiary. I imagine an electrician in 1897 would have been running electric wires into people's houses and businesses plus repairs. Hope this helps. Edith It did show his occupation to be that of an electrician.  So what was an electrician in 1897?  His home was among the first to have electricity in Minneapolis.  But what is an 1897 electrician?

Marcia, Have you checked Cyndi's list for links to the Civil War? http://www.CyndisList.com or Arkansas under US GenWeb? http://www.usgenweb.net Edith

Hi all, I am wondering if I am getting mail or not. I have not gotten ONE SINGLE post from this list all day. marcia Collins

I have not seen this before, BUT, Is there such a thing as sharing a wbesite, and or page? I wonder if someone would be interested in doing this? If data could be entered by both , or all, parties and the cost split among them for the Web site. I am beginning to gather quite a few things of interest. I.e. DAWES files, ect. I have no Web page, nor does my Internet provider have space available for one. I do not know how to design and start a web page. AND , MY Bussell line is so paltry, that it would not support a page. HOWEVER, I am collecting SO many BUSSELL and allied lines (wish they were mine) and documents, that I would like to be able to post them. any ideas? Thanks MArcia Collins

Hi everyone, Someone emailed me about one of my surnames- KICKBUSCH- I accidentally deleted your email....Please email me again! I promise to keep it this time! Thanks! Anne AMorgan263@aol.com

OOPS, the following is on SURNAMES; however I've also seen for GIVEN. There are books in the Libr [or may have to go for Inter Libr Loan] that are exclusively on NAMES.  For example:  The NEW CENTURY CYCLOPEDIA of NAMES, by Clarence L Barnhart, Appleton-Century-Crofts Inc NY 1941, eg Vol 1 covers 'A- E'.     CEE

So I got my grandmother's birth registration from Hennepin Cty, MN in a little more than a week.  She hadn't been named yet (or the name part had faded away to nothing), but it was the right date and parent's names.  Unfortunately it only had my ggrandmother's first name, even though the form asked for maiden name (luckily I know it) and it showed my ggrandfather to be born in Canada.  Gasp! On the 1900 census it says New Hampshire.  (Gnashing of teeth) It did show his occupation to be that of an electrician.  So what was an electrician in 1897?  His home was among the first to have electricity in Minneapolis.  But what is an 1897 electrician?

BUSSELL descendants of Juliette YOUNG descendants of Rufus FOSTER descendants of Mary L BAKER There are many names in these lines. If interested, please let me know marcia Moore Collins mcollins@sfths.sft434.k12.ks.us
