Dear Fireflower, Hi, I feel as you do about finding ancestors. I have boxes of stuff that I am organizing the best I can. The stuff that is not proven I am marking so someone someday may try to prove it. For now no one is interested but in my search I have found distant cousins who are interested. I see to it that all of the information I come upon gets out to them and what I have is going into a sort of time capsule. A trunk with zip lock bags and what ever I can find to preserve what I have. One never knows who will enjoy looking through it when I am gone. I remember going to my grandmothers and looking through the things she had about the family. I wish I had gotten her to write more names on or beside pictures. Maybe you can put your sons talent to work on photographing documents and pictures and anything else you have to be put on CD ROMs. Then give a map to where the treasure of info is. A person can make a concrete box fairly easy and hide it in a basement or attic or even buried some where. Maybe I sound a little nutty but I love mystery and I wish that someone would have done some genealogy before me or at least left some notes somewhere as to where they were from. What ever you do don't toss any of it. Some day a grandchild or greatgrandchild or maybe a neice or nephew or distant cousin will love to continue your work. What you are doing is so valuable. the original stuff is especially a treasure. I just know that somewhere in the future someone is going to thank you for all your hard work. Susan in Utah

I am doing a note book or two if that is how full they will be on my dads and mothers families. In this or these will be all the research I have to that time and I will donate copies to several libraries in Henry, Jefferson and Rush Counties in Indiana. The New Castle Henry County Musium will also get a copy. There is no one that is interested in my research so the rest will be dumped as no one is interested in carring it on. What I have proved will be in the note books. What is unproved no one will take the rains and prove it so there is no use in saddleing someone with info they don't know what to do with and/or just won't. No one wants to dig, scrounge, get dirty in basements of old town libraries. My older sister did genealogy for yrs. and she has shared with me and my younger sis but she did not have any documents to go with what she had. She thought what she had was good enough so I spent summers of vacation time driving my younger sis and me around IN getting these documents on those persons. At least we knew where to go to look for the documents. They live in IN but do not take the time to drive but waits till I am there and we go together which is fine, we work well together. The thing is I did all the looking on the net, finding all the Libraries, City Offices and Cemeteries during the other months from my computer. She is in ill health just now so I don't think she will be well enough for any travel this summer as in the past she could not ride to long at one time as it bothered her. If I can't do it, there is no one that desires to so there is no sence in having boxes taking up space if the bugs are going to eat the paper. All picture will be in the notebooks also. My son has those in data base on computor and he loves pictures so he will have those. He takes family pics and puts them into slide shows w/music and gives out he is very professional at it and they look exceptional when he is done. Fireflower

Sorry, not me, although most of mine were in Indianapolis too. Perhaps it's another branch of the same family?

Hello Everyone: Those of you who are working on your lines back to your 1600s American Ancestors will find the1600s Ancestors Data Base to be of great help. My recent postings to the Data Base has taken it to over 26,500 Ancestors who have descendants living today. I have also added several National Societies who have proven many of these Ancestors. Also at this time a few new respected Reference works that contain thousands of sources including some of the early colonists who have Royal Blood lines. All the entries are coded to indicate to which reference work or which National Society has at least one of their proven lines. Several of the National Societies have over 20 different lines from a single Ancestor. When you enter the 1600s Ancestor Data Base be sure to look at the top of each data page for the link that takes you to the "Data Base Information Page" Here you will find the codes and references listed and how to use them. This is must reading to understand the Data Base. We are constantly updating the Data Base with additional Ancestors added as time permits. You will find the 1600s Ancestor Data Base at: http://www.firstfamilies.org/db/ Everyone has FREE access to all our web site and the reports contained there. Enjoy and Happy Hunting Ryan Jackson Data Base Manager America's First Families

thanks so much for your help i am going to save your email. i just didn't have any idea how to do it. thanks, ruth

Sharon: Have you thought about looking in Daviess Co., IN? There has been a Gill's Mortuary here since the early- mid 1900's. The Gill family, I believe bought this business from the Bonham family, and is still in business at the present time, except it was purchased by a firm out of Indianapolis, or somewhere? But there have been Gill's around the Daviess county area for several years. In fact, back when I was in H.S. there were two women, with the surname Gill, one was my favorite teacher. Their husbands were brothers, who operated the mortuary, and I believe there was something in their background, altho could be mistaken, that there was a Joseph Gill in their family, probably their husband's father? Which is unique to your research, as you said your Joseph Gill was a physician, and most of the earlier mortuary's were ran by physicians. I know it's a longshot, but worth taking the chance on researching this Daviess Co., family. I do also know, that my Mrs. Gill, did not have any heirs. I'm not sure about the brother, and their could have been other brothers involved in the undertaking business here also. Melanie Wayman Daviess Co.

I have just put up my new website with many surnames on it. Also lineage connections to pilgrims, puritans, pioneers and presidents. Let me know if we have any ancestors in common and I'll be happy to exchange data with you. I'm always looking for new cousins. Sarah www.gaia.edu/genclass/srose/

I have decided, if I do nothing else, to just print my FTM file for each family. It may run into a lot of printing but it is a way not to lose all the years of work I have done. Then I will donate it to the local gen library, and probably make copies of different families for other libraries where they lived. My research files are so messy with notes, etc., and miss-information penciled in over the years, that no one could make head not tail of them. I was "always" going to type most of it up real nice, but you know how that is. Too busy adding to it! Carleen

That is a good idea, but please use acid free paper. In fact, you may want to go a bit further and invest in 3 ring paper (again, acid free) and 3 ring binders to put them in. This will insure that the work last longer and that the pages don't fade away with time. When possible, scan in family photos, birth, marriage, and death announcements, any news paper clippings and anything else to make your "book" more interesting. The finished product will be welcome by most family members and libraries as well.

hi i was wondering about putting the info on floppy disk. how is that done? i have not done nothing like that before. thanks http://groups.aol.com/_cqr/jacksoncoind?mmch_=0

1. Buy a package pre-formatted disks. 2. Put a disk in the disk drive, which will probably called drive a or b. 3. when it's time to save your work, open the box that shows which drive to save it on, and click on Drive a. 4. Title the file 5. Click save and that's all there is to it. Email me privately if you need more help.

If none of these suggestions work, donate to a local, regional, or state genealogical association. At least all of your research will be filed somewhere. If you download and use PAF (free from the LDS site), you can export a GEDCOM file that will include all notes. That file can then be uploaded to a RootsWeb database (www.rootsweb.com) and preserved there. -- Caroline Weddell Landrum "Renee O." <renee@pconline.com> wrote: Unfortunately, if you look at the requirements for donating work to the LDS or genealogical societies, most don't have time to go through all your work and it has to be in a certain form. I was thinking that there may be someone on one of the boards or lists for a particular area or surname(s) who may be interested in all the work that can't be donated and turn it into a project to make it available to anyone who may be searching those lines. This person would probably need help doing that and would probably have to split it up by area or surname.

And instead of hating the people you think are warmakers, hate the appetites and the disorder in your own soul, which are the causes of war. If you love peace, then hate injustice, hate tyranny, hate greed - but hate these things in yourself, not in another. - Thomas Merton, from "New Seeds of Contemplation" Reply address: caroline_landrum@alum.emory.edu
