Sorry folks, seems I may have been too swift to hit the forward button, I am still not sure about the message regarding the Iowa Records. I have gotten a couple of messages saying that it is a hoax. I didn't find it on any of the hoax pages that I regularly check out so I sent it to one of them to check out. The message also mentions Illinois - WELL, I did get two marriage records from Illinois on Saturday, but they were from the Northern Illinois University and they were absolutely without ANY charge. Guess I will go to try to email the two addresses that we were supposed to complain to and see what happens. PS At least I did clean the garbage out of the message!!!!

Perhaps something we should all pay attention to as it may just be the beginning of things to come. Subject: Fw: HELP KEEP IOWA RECORDS OPEN : Iowa wants to close its records like Illinois : Please forward this message on. In a message dated 1/25/00 3:35:01 PM, Pmauer writes: The State of Iowa is considering closing their records to the public. This has already been done in the State of Illinois where you have to rely on someone in the courthouse to look things up for you for a fee of $2.00 and if you want a copy, that is $8.00 more. Many of the people from the East went to Iowa and you may need to obtain some of their records, if not now, in the future. Even if you are not an Iowa resident, please be part of the numbers to be heard about how important it is to have these available. Send an email to keith_weigel@legis.state.ia.us and betty_soupkup@legis.state.ia.us Please forward this message to: 1) as many people you know who reside in Iowa 2) as many genealogical societies as you know 3) as many other organizations whose voices might make a difference 4) everyone you know who are involved in genealogy and history research

Hello List! One of my grandfathers, Harry Beaty, was a resident of Minidoka Co., and he died there in 1928. It is my understanding that Minidoka wasn't formed until 1920. Could someone on the list provide me with what county/counties Minidoka was made from so I can access the correct census reports prior to 1920. TIA Robert Wilkinson vangogh292@aol.com

I am interested in finding anyone who might have been a student of my mother, Lillie Elizabeth Watt. She graduated from Grammar School in Caldwell, Idaho. She received her teacher's certificate in Albion, NE. Between 1927 and 1928 taught in Owyhee County, ID. On Sept. 10, 1927 she received her teacher's certificate for Canyon CO, Idaho and it was renewed in 1928. She came to Oregon in 1932. Any former students still out there?

Historically, the model for research facilities use in genealogy and family history [in the United States] centered first on the East Coast, with the subsequent gradual takeover in the field of Family History, beginning circa A. D. 1900, by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, (headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah). Presently, on the East Coast, the Library of Congress Online Catalog has a database of "approximately 12 million records representing books, serials, computer files, manuscripts, cartographic materials, music, sound recordings, and visual materials in the Library's collections." http://catalog.loc.gov/ This is further enhanced by major research depositories from New England - to the South, as well as some other locations in the Central section of the United States. This can be compared with the LDS FHC of Salt Lake City, Utah, having 2,000,000 + microfilms and approximately 280,000 bound volumes. REF: The World of Learning 1999, Forty-Ninth Edition, by Europa Publications Limited. http://www.familysearch.org/Browse/browse.asp On the West Coast, in the State of California, there is the Melvyl® Catalog Database. Its contents, as of December 6, 1999 are listed as: "approximately 10,013,139 Titles representing 15,226,500 holdings for materials in the University of California Library and the California State Library". http://www.melvyl.ucop.edu/ This represents a major PARADIGM SHIFT in the field of Genealogy and Family History Research, as this database alone represents more resources than those contained in the Online Library of Congress Catalog. Limited in-house access to Other Databases includes RLIN Bibliographic File (@RLG) of approximately 88 million records, as well as WorldCat (@OCLC) and its 32 + million records. SOURCES and REFERENCES, at: http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~vctinney/archives.htm#Sources combines these major holdings with other online databases of genealogical interest - worldwide.

It has been estimated that in the State of California, alone, that by the 1990s, there were over 70 millions of books within the various library systems, statewide. The future of the California Library system is: "One library, 8,000 doors", as mentioned in an editorial in The Sacramento Bee, dated Sunday, May 4, 1997, page 4 of the Forum Section). The California Digital Library (CDL) presently "is responsible for the design, creation, and implementation of systems that support the shared collections of the University of California".
