In addition to the Hamilton National Genealogical Society (www.hamiltongensociety.org) that Larry Hamilton described that is decidated to genealogial information, there is also a Clan Hamilton Society (www.clanhamilton.org) that focuses on our Hamilton history and Scottish heritage. Both of these societies encourage membership at very reasonable rates and also provide general information to nonmembers. There is a lot of 'free' information available on the web, but as you turn to more serious research you may wish to develop more focus. Joining of list with similiar interest is a very good method to 'swap' information. However, you should make sure of what the list ( what is goals of list, how will data be handled or protected, and how reliable is the accuracy of the information). Also, people should recipicate in these types of 'internet' research exchanges. If you ask for information also provide information. Either a short cameo of your Hamilton tree with oldest ancestor or your main research objectives would be useful to others as a means to establish an information swap John Hamilton Clan Hamilton Web Master ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lawrence Hamilton Sr." <hamgen@planetkc.com> To: <HAMILTON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 8:17 AM Subject: [HAM] Web sites > For those wanting to subscribe to a web site, but yet know nothing about it, this is a site posted by a member of the Hamilton List. She must give out a password to let others obtain access, and the messages being sent to her via the list should instead go directly to her, not the list. > We are not upset with her starting her list, but want all to know that the original Hamilton web site can be reached at the below address. Anyone may access this site, but we do have a members only portion where a password is required. On the protected portion we maintain current members address, snail and email, census readings, etc. If interested, go to our site and download a membership application and request a free issue of our printed newsletter "The Connector". > > Larry Hamilton > Hamilton National Genealogical Society, Inc. > 215 SW 20th Terrace > Oak Grove, MO 64075 > www.hamiltongensociety.org > > ______________________________
