The following is a response to a letter sent to the AMA that was on one of the rootsweb lists regarding deceased physicians: It is as follows: Thank you for contacting the American Medical Association regarding your genealogy inquiry. We welcome the opportunity to assist you. As a general policy, the AMA Department of Records Management and Archives refers all questions concerning deceased physicians to two outside sites that house the AMA's Deceased Physician Records 1804-1969 on microform. Site#1 - The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, Family History Library, 35. N. West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah 84150; www.lds.org. You can call their 1-800 number for the location of a family history research center near you at 1-800-240-2331. Site #2 - The National Genealogy Society, 4527 17th St. North, Arlington, VA 22207-2399;www.ngsgenealogy.org; 1-800-473- 0060. Both of these sites are researcher-friendly and should provide you with excellent service. In addition, you may wish to contact the state/county/city medical societies the deceased practiced in. They may also have records. The very best of luck in your research and thank you again for contacting the American Medical Association. Roberta Ann Ghidara, MA Department of Records Management and Archives

The first thing you want to do is to rehydrate the paper so that you can unroll it without damage. One of the best ways is to use a mister with a water and glycerine solution. spritz it every hour, very lightly, until the paper softens up enough to unroll it without damage. Then put it in a paper press if you have one, or just roll out several plain white papertowels, towels without a printed picture on it, onto a table top and put the documents down and place several more layers of papertowels on top, then put a heavy piece of cardboard or a piece of plywood on top of that. Place several heavy books or bricks on that and let dry for a day or two. Then frame the documents with acid free matting and be sure to seal the back with paper to keep the dust off.

One other thing. Once you have them flatten out enough, make photocopies to have to show to family. This will help protect the original certificates. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Tennin5@aol.com> To: <GenTips-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2000 2:58 PM Subject: [GT] Restoring Old Paper > I recently aquired some old baptism and birth certificates for my > grandmother, 1894, and need some help. > These certificates have been rolled up for many years and are very brittle. > Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can flatten these out?

I'm not sure if this is the best thing but you can always try to putting several heavy books on them. This might help in flattening them out a little bit. I would definitely put them in a frame or something just to protect them even more.

FYI.......There is a CD from Family Tree Maker that has records of physicians. I can't remember much about the CD but you can view information on their web site. Unfortunately due to copyright laws, people are now allowed to advertise that they will do lookups. They are certainly not allowed to charge for the lookups. ----- Original Message ----- From: <mgoddard@juno.com> To: <GenTips-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 20, 2000 7:51 AM Subject: Re: [GT] Deceased American PhysiciansCD > Is there really a CD out there of this information.

I recently aquired some old baptism and birth certificates for my grandmother, 1894, and need some help. These certificates have been rolled up for many years and are very brittle. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can flatten these out? And should these be framed or just what might I be able to do with them to keep them from any further deteriation? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Vickie

Is there really a CD out there of this information. I would love to know more about my mothers uncle Henry Colson who was a doctor in Chicago IL back in 1880-early 1900. I am willing to pay reasonable fees.

I received this message from another list. The Marietta National Cemetery is now online. Of particular interest to those with Civil War Union ancestors who died in the Atlanta Campaign. http://www.interment.net/data/us/ga/cobb/marienat/index.htm There is also a book, available from the Cobb County, Georgia, Genealogical Society that has background history of the cemetery, details of the Atlanta Campaign and a complete listing of burials. It is listed as Cemetery Book III. http://www.rootsweb.com/~gaccgs/books.htm

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Postal Workers were government employees. At that time (1961) government employees did not pay into Social Security. They paid into a separate retirement plan for government employees and would have received this retirement instead of Social Security. I was a civilian employee for the Air Force at that time. I can't help you as to where to write for information as I left government employment and became self-employed and worked at home.

Hello list, I've been searching for info on my grandfather, John J. BITTNER, who died before I was born. I understand that he worked for the US Post Office. He died in 1961, and is not listed in the SSDI. Did they have some type of pension fund instead of SS? If so, where can I find those records? Thanks, Kathi

Is this the list where someone had volunteered to do a lookup in Ancestry CD 507, Deceased American Physicians, 1804-1929? If so, I need a lookup for Dr. Joseph Mathew Dent(1868-1918). Thanks in advance. Fran

Laura Have you tried doing a system backup for that file only? I have Windows 95. If I click on Start Menu, then Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, and then Backup, I get the backup menu. When backing up a file, make sure you click on the backup tab at the top. Then double click on the c: drive icon on the left side (don't put a check in the box, if I put an X in the box at this point my computer wants to back up the whole c: drive), keep doing this with each subfolder until you get to the actual file you want to save. Then put an X in the box. (The computer will put an X in that box and every previous box in the path to that file.) Then follow the directions. This will allow you to backup a file that covers more than 1 floppy disk. To restore the file you'd click on the Restore tab and follow the directions. If you're unsure of what you're doing, try practicing first by backing up a file that you have already copied to a floppy disk (one that did fit on one disk), delete the file from the system, then restore it. If you did something wrong you will still have the floppy to use to put the file back in your system and won't lose anything. If this works, then you can back up the larger file. I'm self employed and do data entry work at home. Some of my data entry programs use several mgs of memory and won't back up to a single disk. I have backed up and restored different programs several times and have had no problem. Good luck. Barbara Baclem5656@aol.com

Hello Laura and all, I ran into this problem before I bought my Zip drive several years ago. There are all kinds of ways to get around a "sick 'puter" or if you don't have a Zip drive or WinZip to compress your file to a smaller size. Here's one I found works: Do you have Word or WordPad (available if you're working on a Windows system)? If so, open the gedcom in one of these. It should open as a plain text document which will have "0 Head" or something similar as the first line. Then cut (or copy) and paste smaller parts into new documents (each less than 1MB if you're using 1.4 MG floppy disks), saving each one, numbering it to keep track of the order so you can put it all back together again in one document after you've reformatted your hard drive and all software is reinstalled. Then after your computer is back up and running the way you want, re-assemble the larger document, save with the "ged" extension, open your genealogy program, finally opening the file there. It should read back in just fine.
