Cary, I was a bit taken aback by Kathy's request for another members access code. You are quite right. Go get your own library card and use it. I have several. Some libraries offer this, and others that. Many offer out of locale memberships for a small fee. For example, for just $10 I have a card to a nearby regional library which gives me access to JSTOR. My access code is my library card number. I would NEVER hand that to anyone. My local library offers Heritage Quest. I have access to other databases by virtue of being a volunteer, provided I don't use those sites during business hours. It is rather cheesy to ask people for free access codes. That is the surest say to get kicked off of them. To Kathy, you have many options other than your apparently bankrupt local library. Your state library, nearby libraries and larger more metropolitan/regional libraries. I urge you to use those options.

Please, don't duplicate people in the database! Check to see if such a person already exists in the Tree. If you find errors for a person DON'T simply add another entry for him/her with different data. If there are errors, such as wrong parents, spouses, etc., either try to make corrections TO THE PERSON, rather adding him/her again. If you don't feel comfortable making corrections, contact me and tell me what is wrong, what corrections you suggest, additions, deletions, etc., and if we come to an agreement I'll make the changes. Just remember that if you haven't worked extensively with a Shared Tree at Ancestry and learned how to do things, you could easily make things worse. Detaching a person from parents and re-attaching to a different set of parents is NOT easy.

Kathy, Thank you for another avenue to explore. Our city library does not have control over their finances, as our city allots the library system a certain amount to spend each year, and thats it, and of course every year the library gets less money. We have NEVER had Heritage Quest, period and the chances of ever getting it is zero since it is very easy for our city to find other places to spend our tax dollars! Thanks for the idea to check other library systems in the area.

To Avis Walker: I would enjoy receiving a copy of the family tree of Joel and Suzanna Blankenbaker.

Thank you for seeing the gravestones and passing along - yes, that is the gravestone of Joel Blankenbaker, as you can see, unattached from its base, as are the rest - all of them are remarkably in very readable condition - for marble especially - perhaps because they were flat on the ground...Von sent an email to me this am, saying that the beans (not corn this year I guess) should be being harvested in the week/10 days here, that work should commence hopefully within a short time now. I am excited to be part of it. He is getting a facebook page started to share photos with his Blankenbaker cousins - will share the site when I know. Again, if you wish to see more photos or have the abreviated (going fwd from Joel and Suzanna) tree, I will be happy to send along. Cheers!

George, First, I am not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. However, I do have great respect for their endeavors to get it right. Since about 20 per cent of the members are able to get recommends to enter a temple, it is just like other churches on being able to get their members to really tow the line! Even most of those denominations that used to be very strict and threw a member out of the church on the least violation, now tend to look the other way. Don't get carried away, George! I hope I don't! Ancestry.com is NOT owned by the LDS church and never has been. History--2 fellows started a company using some LDS material, but also some original census work. I still use those ACI fiches which we have at the local Family History Center. They merged as you know tax lists and census records as well as other material to create great list of folks every ten years and colonial times. I still from time to time smash a brick wall using the old AIC fiches at the local FHC. The IGI sometimes gets confused with the other lists AIC [Accelerated Indexing Systems]. The two partners of ACI had a falling out. One went out the door leaving somethings behind and others in his pockets. Of part of this, some wound up in Illinois in somones back yard or at least copies. One of the partners started Ancestry. A short time ago this partner sold to a non-LDS person Ancestry. While the new owners of Ancestry live in Utah, they are not members of the LDS church. The programs that the LDS church use now for Temple work are available only to LDS members. The temple work being done now is no longer added to the IGI. Nor are the extraction programs in process whereby all the microfilm held by the church will have names and and any dates and places computerized. Non-LDS members may participate in this extraction program if they so wish. The LDS church has recognized errors have been made in the passed in some of the application of church ordiances and have banned the mass apllication apllied to a list of all males or females from some remote village in outer Mongolia, etc. I never was bothered by this practice--I am not LDS; rather one of the few High Churchers still active the Episcopal church USA. I just shrugged off the moaning and groaning about "They baptized my ancestors!" Well, if one thought that would make them assured of the eternal bliss regardless the fact that many might be reprobates, then I suggested we should leave all our records to the LDS, and request ordianance work after we die. Just as good insurance policy! Seriously, if one believes that baptising the dead is valid, then the only church I know that does that, is the LDS. Most of my LDS friends have good laughs over all the mess people of good intentions had. They are trying to unscramle good intentions and get the real great-grandma established out of the many misguided "good intentions." After all, who besides me, have never made an error of judgement in our genealogical endeavors? smile. Cary

Hi Marc, Well, I'm always up for connecting people to our Germanna tree. In the past two weeks I've connected two local families (found in obits) to Germanna. I would love to contact the survivors and let them about their Germanna connections, but, as I said, I don't want to intrude on their privacy, and also I fear they would probably think my email was some kind of scam.

Hello Lisa, Well, many years ago I transcribed part of Smyth Co., VA, and can say that when names on the graphics of the Census were difficult to read, I was able to decipher most of them because of being familiar with the families in that county. I can assure you that I did a far better job than anyone in India could do. Now, I really don't like your statement, "If you don't like their services, don't continue using and paying for them." That's just smacking in the face those of us who DO pay for, and use, Ancestry's service, but don't like the attitude of the people there. You make take exception to the "profit" angle, but that organization (My Family and all it's subsidiaries) have progressed far beyond the original goal of "sealing" everyone who has ever lived. All the LDS endeavors are now about "milking the genealogy cash cow". Would love to see their yearly "non-profit" IRS statements. Wonder how many billions My Family is now worth. Anyway, I've sent you an "invite" to the Germanna Tree at Ancestry. I'm sending a private email to you about how to register.
