Hi Keith, If you can get a copy of it to me, I'd be willing to give it a try over Chistmas break.( It might be helpful if you could also give me the file that you started.) We could then post to the Louisa Co web page.

Hi Keith & Connie, I also began indexing the cemetery book, but very unconventionally. Using a program called family tree maker, I am linking the names by family relationships. I think my computer has the capacity to handle the entire book, but I'm not sure I'll get it done in a reasonable time-frame. Anyway, how far did you get on the indexing? Would your information work in with my method? I think it would be a great benefit to have the cemetery book (and the yearly suppliments) indexed so let's keep talking.

Hi guys, Keith began indexing it when it first came out but it was too big of a job for our computer to handle at the time. If anyone wants to do it, it would be a great benefit for researchers. The cemeteries are together by townships, but the book was printed with each cemetery in alphabetical order, much to the horror of some of us. So you have to look through 60 some lists. If researchers know what township their ancestors lived in, it would provide a little better start.

Hi Ed, If you could give me a cemetery that would be most helpful. To my knowledge, the cemetery book has not been indexed (?can anyone provide contrary information?) so looking up an individual name would be time consuming. I will put it on my list of TO DOs.

Hi Stephen or Martha, Could you please check to see if it lists Joseph T. Kelly? He should be buried somewhere in Louisa Co, probably in the 1880s.

On 10/26/98, Dr. Brian Leverich wrote: Tim Pierce and a Spammer and I Attack the Web Server. Just a bit ago I checked out the main Web server and found it operating at load factor 26, which is way high for peak hours and extremely weird for this time of the evening. Turns out that Tim Pierce and a spammer and I were cooperating to attack the server. Here's what happened. The spammer flashflooded our 4,000 mailing lists with massively cross-posted garbage. Because it was massively cross-posted and because Tim's filters prevented it from going out to the lists, the posts all made it onto the listservers without the load climbing on the listservers enough to slow the flow. Because Tim CCs all the "Spam Detective" catches to himself on the Web server (that's where he reads his mail), the listservers cheerfully tried to force 4,000 pieces of spam onto the Web server simultaneously with 4,000 SMTP connections. Ordinarily this wouldn't be a problem, because the sendmail on the Web server would have started choking off incoming as the load factor skyrocketed. But I had the load choke-off set *very* high because, before I upgraded the server in June, I'd had to do that so rootsweb-help would keep working. So the Web server just sat there and got pounded. I've rationalized the sendmail settings now so the Spam Detective can no longer dangerously mailbomb the Web server. RootsWeb continues to improve our facilities for surviving spam attacks and preventing spam from reaching our mailing lists. On Monday of this week, RootsWeb brought a new mailhub server online. The new mailhub server, which is one of RootsWeb's fastest and most expensive servers to date, has the speed and capacity to support the more sophisticated spam filters that we will be implementing in the future. * * * SPAM ATTACK UPDATE: On 10/28/98, a RootsWeb listmember wrote to Tim Pierce, RootsWeb's senior system administrator: "I got over 27 (blocked spam from your list) messages today, WOW! I hope someone crams a high voltage lead up this guy's computer. Good job for the Spam Detective!" Tim responded, in part: This morning, we received more than 5,000 spams (and counting) from these turkeys in a little more than an hour and a half [by mid-afternoon, the count had risen to 9,000]. I think that sets some new kind of record for us. The load on our systems is skyrocketing just trying to keep the junk off the lists, and our network pipes are clogged with the extra traffic.

Hi Everyone! Last week I got into a conversation on the Virginia Roots list about the circuit-riding preacher, Lorenzo Dow. Lots of us have a Lorenzo Dow 'Somebody' in our data. Since I have a lot of information about the 'original' Lorenzo Dow, they asked if I would post a web page about him. (He was born in 1777 in CT and died in 1834 in Georgetown, DC.) Well, I ran home from work and put up the Lorenzo Dow page after supper! I hope you find it interesting. He was something! I can just see him jumping out of a church window onto a horse and riding away shouting that he would be back one year from the day! He did, too! The site is: http://www.acun.com/dentons The link to the article about Lorenzo Dow is about half way down the first page. I hope you enjoy the stories! Blessings! Sue Montgomery-Cook

Thought you might all enjoy this: It was the first day of census, and all through the land each pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride, his book and some quills were tucked close by his side. A long winding ride down a road barely there, toward the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air. The woman was tired, with lines on her face and wisps of brown hair she tucked back into place. She gave him some water ... as they sat at the table and she answered his questions ... the best she was able. He asked her of children. Yes, she had quite a few -- the oldest was twenty, the youngest not two. She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red; his sister, she whispered, was napping in bed. She noted each person who lived there with pride, and she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside. He noted the sex, the color, the age... the marks from the quill soon filled up the page. At the number of children, she nodded her head and saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead. The places of birth she "never forgot" was it Kansas? or Utah? or Oregon ... or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear, but she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here. They spoke of employment, of schooling and such, they could read some ... and write some ... though really not much. When the questions were answered, his job there was done so he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun. We can almost imagine his voice loud and clear, "May God bless you all for another ten years." Now picture a time warp ... its' now you and me as we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow as we search for that entry from long, long ago. Could they only imagine on that long ago day that the entries they made would effect us this way? If they knew would they wonder at the yearning we feel and the searching that makes them so increasingly real. We can hear if we listen the words they impart through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart. --- Author unknown.

Hello! I am new to using the Internet for geneological purposes. I have been interested for some time in Louisa County, since my mother is from there and I have visited there many times in my lifetime. My name is Lucinda Lee (Koch) King, the daughter of Marylee Lucille (Paris) Koch. My grandparents were Charles and Josephine (Torbert) Paris, who lived in and around Wapello. My uncle was Jim Paris, his son is Steve Paris, who still lives in Wapello. I know that all your research is done voluntarily, but I was surprised not to find any mention of Harrison Cemetary on the country road to Grandview. There are many very old tombstones of the early settler/farmers in that cemetary, going back to at least the 1860's. The earliest Paris grave is of Jemimah Parris, who I believe died in the 1860's, and there are 4 more generations of her line buried there. In addition to the Paris family, my mother tells me there are McDill's and Wiederrecht's also, as well as a few others. These families were some of the foundation stones of Louisa County, as well as Iowa. I saw elsewhere on the web that names of pioneers are being listed for the state of Iowa, and I was wondering what the parameters were for a name to be added to the list. If you would like some dates and names of the Paris family, I can get that to you as my mother and I have some rather good records. It would be wonderful to have my ancestors acknowledged as some of the founding fathers of Louisa County, as I believe they contributed as much as many of the other families who lived and still live there. Also, is Oakland Cemetary in Louisa County, the old one out on the Five Mile Lane? If so, does that qualify as a Pioneer Cemetary? Some of the Bates family is buried out there, who were some predecessors of Charles Paris (his mother was Laura Olive Bates Paris). Thanks for your attention and interest. Its nice to know that history is not being forgotten. Most sincerely, Lucinda L. King

There is a website which focuses on, among others, three Louisa County families. They are Hayes, McElhinney and Wiederrecht. The Hayes and Wiederrecht files contain all the data we currently have, the McElhinney file is under construction, with less than half the data we have being entered so far. We will continue updating that file as time permits. We would greatly appreciate any updates and/or corrections which users of this list might be able to offer. It is our intent to make this available with the most accurate and complete information we can obtain. If you drop by, please sign the guest book on the main page. This website can be found at: www.geocities.com/Heartland/Woods/6160 Karen (McElhinney) and Jim Woodworth
