How are you? joy Fischer

Oooops!   I sent this to the wrong address.   I am trying to recruit a new HCGS member.  Her name is Jenny Wilt Balis.   We were discussing how to get to a cemetery where the bridge had been torn down or some other access problem.  She said that her father always told her, “Where there is a Wilt there is a way.”   Can we handle another Wilt in our membership?   At least she has a Kuhl in her ancestry.   So, you know that she is “Cool”.   All of these puns before noon.   Happy Father's Day.  Dave Kuhl 210 Glen Eagles Drive Ocean Springs, MS 39564-9041 e-mail: dbkuhl@bellsouth.net >________________________________ > From: Dave Kuhl <dbkuhl@bellsouth.net> >To: "hcgs@rootsweb.com" <hcgs@rootsweb.com> >Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 8:54 AM >Subject: Re: [HCGS] WVHCGS Web Site > > > >See below >  >Dick Wilt is the webmaster.  Have you decided to join HCGS? >  >Farm line maps for Harrison County on the website. >  >I have about 137 maps including two locator maps. >  >Do you want me to start sending them to you? > >Dave Kuhl >210 Glen Eagles Drive >Ocean Springs, MS 39564-9041 >e-mail: dbkuhl@bellsouth.net > > >>________________________________ >> From: "cn8ff@aol.com" <cn8ff@aol.com> >>To: hcgs@rootsweb.com >>Sent: Sunday, June 16, 2013 12:31 AM >>Subject: [HCGS] WVHCGS Web Site >> >> >> >> >>The Harrison County Genealogical Society Web Site >>has been updated. >>Enjoy. >>Just a reminder WVHCGS has a Facebook page. >>https://www.facebook.com/HarrisonCountyGenealogicalSociet?fref=ts >>Until later, >>Dick >>Web Master >>http://www.wvhcgs.com >> >> >>------------------------------- >>To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to HCGS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >> >> >> > >

I heard a fellow say on the news the other day that there is no way to delete anything from your computer. You may delete it but some computer guru can find it if need be. I heard it is the same way about cell phones, what you are saying you might as well get on the roof top and broadcast it all over town. I don't think anyone on our list says anything that they should be ashamed of and rootsweb is still free. Ruby

As I understand it, Ruby is the authorized gatekeeper and can approve new member access to the list or take away access for members who have not paid their dues. She may have limited capability to authorize attachments or bigger messages to go through. But she can't go into the archives to delete junk, bad e-mail addresses, etc. The only thing I can do is subscribe and unsubscribe. If a message is too big or a person that is not a member and sends a message to the list which is about every day someone wants to sell us something, I can tell rootsweb to ban them from joining and to delete the message. If a person has too many bounces rootsweb will unsub them. I have no idea why we started using rootsweb and Sue Moore had the members only list before I started monitoring it but she was working full time and couldn't attend meetings so she turned it over to me. Ruby

Although I do not have the answer to this issue, I do think that this is a good conversation to have. I have always believed in being very cautious about the internet. I try only to use words and photos that I wouldn't mind being read and seen by anyone in any generation forever. We shouldn't have any illusions of anything else. So, at this time I would like to give a shout out to my great-great-great-grandchild. Thank you for continuing my work!

Sharon Because Rootsweb started out in the mid 1990's as with the slogan -- Genealogy should be Free. People were cads if they didn't share... Then Roots web was free.. then genealogy supercompanies starting buying server space because no one would donate to keep the free systems going, then the companies tried to sell the free information, which gave them a black eye-------- funny thing--- is black eyes are only temporary. Imagine going a driect email oon all the genalogy lists- you'd have a problem as a spammer-- Paul Pettit On 6/14/2013 9:07 AM, Sharon Bramhall wrote: > Dave Kuhl brought up a matter to me that I keep forgetting about - that all our HCGS chatter goes into an online archive.

Dave Yes, Yahoo groups do have archives but it is only public to signed in members--- I yahoo groups is the media used for lot of herding dog sites. but there is always a problem of me bringing up my local club using it's acronym for a groups title and I have never been able to bring up a separate list started for the same club Board- which may not necessarily be legal especially when only certain board members are on it and others aren't and some folks who are not on the board of officers are in the list.. A more pertinent discussion might be about webcrawlers and how and when things have evolved with websites archives- they pull ACTIVE INFORMATION ON A ROUTINE BASIS TO ANOTHeR Archive WEBSITE WHICH THEN STaYS ONLINe AFTeR THe ORIGiNAL WEBSITE GOES elecrtonically defunct-- so there is also Peter Pan Land and who knows what lies beyond that.... Also an unwritten philosophy of LDS fiels has been once it goes into back and white someone will find it somewhere some placae so It cannot be corrected and it will show up aGAIN IN THE FUTURE.... however the new programs not yet available to the public, allows for corrections..... and or alternate family structure to be identified linked to other genealogies- still is loophole if there isn't enough indentifying info on the progenitor and their descendents for the file it may look like separate families..

HCGS member Larry Francis may be the most knowledgeable on these Rootsweb server lists since he manages a list for Fauquier County, VA.   As I understand it, Ruby is the authorized gatekeeper and can approve new member access to the list or take away access for members who have not paid their dues.  She may have limited capability to authorize attachments or bigger messages to go through.  But she can’t go into the archives to delete junk, bad e-mail addresses, etc.   Sue Moore has similar gatekeeper control over the HCGS Yahoo group.  As far as I know, there is no archive for the Yahoo list.    It might put a damper on the chit chat to know that our silly comments on rats and roaches are being archived forever.   The archives can always be mined for data and sift through it to find some gems.  However, the more junk that is saved, the harder it will be to find the gems.  If we could delete the junk, who should do it and is it worth the effort?   It can be embarrassing to have mistakes come back to you years later.  For example, I was researching my Kuhl family from census back in the 1980s.  I did not find the children of two of the brothers, so I assumed they moved west.  The reason that I was not finding them was because they changed their names to Cole but stayed in the area.  I still see an occasional reference on line that they moved west.  The only people who don’t make mistakes are the people who don’t do anything.  However, it would be nice to go back and correct some of those errors.      Most of us have similar experiences where we “took off after a wild goose”, made some erroneous observations and then those got repeated by others.  Those are the times when you are glad that no one gave your name as the source of the bad information.      Dave Kuhl 210 Glen Eagles Drive Ocean Springs, MS 39564-9041 e-mail: dbkuhl@bellsouth.net >________________________________ > From: Sharon Bramhall <sharon.bramhall@yahoo.com> >To: "hcgs@rootsweb.com" <hcgs@rootsweb.com> >Sent: Friday, June 14, 2013 11:07 AM >Subject: [HCGS] privacy and online archives > > >Dave Kuhl brought up a matter to me that I keep forgetting about - that all our HCGS chatter goes into an online archive.  Anybody can read it - forever and ever.   I didn't realize that until  I googled my own name a couple years ago!    What a surprise!!!     Is there any reason why we just can't be part of a regular email "LIST" in which we can simply  "REPLY TO ALL"  to communicate?   Why use Rootsweb if we don't have to?     Our conversations would be private.  Well, except for NSA snooping and scooping :):)  (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)    >  >If we did decide to go the private route - we would each need to have a HCGS LIST in our "Contacts" in order to initiate a conversation.  I'm sure some smart person could send instructions on how to ADD the HCGS List to our contacts.   >  >Maybe I've forgotten the reason why we originally chose to use Rootsweb to communicate.... someone remind me.   >  ><Sharon><    > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to HCGS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > >

Everybody had roaches.  It was always fun to watch new people at social gatherings  -- the expressions on their faces when the topic of roaches came up  --- they were so embarrassed that they had roaches that the amazement took over when others started talking about what to do about them and they then realized it was a totally common problem.  Another common problem was rodents. I was carrying two bags of our kitchen trash downstairs to the garbage can one evening when I noticed a rustling in one bag.  A mouse jumped out, hitting my cheek before he hit the floor and entered someone else's apartment. Harlem was even worse with its rat population. Now, in SE Michigan, our problems just seem to be voles and ground moles. That's better than the scorpions and tarantulas in Oklahoma in the late 1960s.
