Last night when I got home from work and went to get my email, I got the "blue screen of death" while downloading mail. So it appears that anyone who sent their roll call reply between about 1:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. yesterday probably went into a black hole someplace. Would those who sent during that time period please resend? Thanks. Debby

Grant County still here. Currently working on the history of the "Battle of the Mississinewa". Sheila D. Watson/Grant County Coord.

Union County, still working on it. Kris Bain

Now that I have the coordinator's all 'present' <smile> Would you please help me. This evening or should I say morning - I have been cutting and pasting all the email addresses from your home pages into a file that has been requested by the nominating committee. I think I have everyone on the list. In the process of going down your pages and grabbing your email address my attention was caught by quite a few files not up to date. Would you please bring your pages up to date with my name instead of Fred's as SC... my email address is kyseeker@dynasty.net... Also if you have the old mirror site on your page - please unlink it as it is not up to date and will discourage a lot of researchers. These changes need to be done to bring our pages under the guidelines of the UsGenWeb... Sometime next week Lori and I will be visiting the pages and if the changes haven't been made we'll give you a private post asking that you do so. I'd really appreciate your help in this matter .... I noticed quite a few Christmas pages and they look great - but most of all I noticed the loads of Indiana Information that is waiting for the Indiana researcher to view..

Hello everyone - I've been doing a little 'house work' on the InGen-l Mail list this evening or should I say morning. I found 6 subscriber's that are no longer with us and I found 13 county coordinator's not subscribed... So----- guess what I did. Yep if you haven't been receiving InGenWeb mail you will be now. Also - I invite you to join the Indytalk-l mail list for more frequent discussions if you so choose. Just contact me saying you would like to subscribe. -- Betty a/k/a Kyseeker of Kentucky and Indiana kyseeker@dynasty.net =========================== Indiana State InGenWeb Coordinator - http://www.rootsweb.com/~ingenweb/ Vanderburgh Co., In - http://www.rootsweb.com/~invander/vand.htm Trigg Co., Ky - http://www.usroots.com/~kyseeker/trigg/trigg.html Christian Co., Ky - http://www.usroots.com/kyseeker/public_html/christian/christian4.htm

Hello everyone.... Just a brief note this evening to ask you to check your links and be sure that I am listed as your coordinator and email address of kyseeker@dynasty.net. Also check your links and if you have a mirror site up of Indiana - please take it down as I am only updating one site at that is at rootsweb.

I've managed recently to recruit lookup volunteers for the 1850 and 1860 censuses and a number of others with access to records on their Decatur Co families. I'm about to set up a page of links to web pages of family genealogies with substantial Decatur Co content; anyone stumbling on pages of this kind is invited to pass them my way.

Yes, Amy it really DOES SNOW in Indiana -- sometimes lots and lots of it. So are you going to digitize that picture of you in your snowsuit and let Betty Sellers put it up for all to see??? You didn't mention what type of database you are using, but you can usually split it with the database itself (like I use Excel and can convert it by just copying the lines and then pasting in another sheet -- split a-f for one file, g-k for another file, l-o for another file, p-r for another file and s-z for the last file -- then you just save like you did before and put the header stuff and trailer stuff on each of those pages and point your link info to the name you saved it under -- like maybe marra2f.htm, marrg2k.htm etc. If your database isn't like excel or access then you can chop up a file using a text editor program that handles large files --- I prefer List.Com which is a shareware program (one I liked and used longer than 3mos so I registered it) and you can get this at www.shareware.com -- think it is called list93a or something like that now. If you use list all you do is save first your database program as a text or ascii (space or tab delimited--NEVER richtext) file. then you use list like this: list xxx.txt (where xxx.txt is name of file) alt-m (this marks your first line to be saved) scroll down to last line to be saved in a file (for my case it would be the last entry for the f's) and have this last line on the last line of the monitor and do alt-b (tells it the last line on your monitor is last line to mark) (alt-b is the alt key plus the b key) alt-d (says you want to save this data (marked stuff) to a new file xxxx2.txt give it a new name here and it will save it as that. now scroll down so your first line of the next stuff is at the top line of monitor (in my case the first line of the g's) and do the above again for this section (alt-m, alt-b, alt-d, etc) when you finish the last of the database's text/ascii file you can then just delete it since you now have it in sections. Now just plug the beginning html and trailer html to each of these files and you are set to go. (I have a little trick here -- I will name my header html stuff as a.1 and a.3 then name my text file as a.2 and sort these so they are in order then I copy these a.? c:\marra.htm (it works and puts the html stuff in for me in proper places (but it MUST be in proper order for it to work) then I rename a.1 and a.3 to g.1 and g.3 and save my next group as g.2, etc.) Confused? Sorry. But maybe something I said here will help you chop this file up. Judy M. >Jay here. Activity on the site is increasing quite a bit, as are the number >of subscribers to the county list.

Yes, Betty, they really are wonderful, aren't they? -- after seeing these online census pages I think that I will change my Christmas Wish List (for my Indiana Genealogy stuff) to: money for getting all of my counties' censuses done (Perry, Spencer, and Gibson Cos, IN) <ha,ha> But seriously -- if you have any extra bucks you can throw around and you especially like ANY county(ies) in Indiana you might want to "buy" some of those census pages from SK Publications. If we get enough persons to "buy" all the pages for a county for a specific year, then it could be made into a cd and be viewed online too. Like I told my husband -- I wish I was Bill Gates or some other very wealthy person so I could donate a million dollars and get LOTS of these census pages digitized across Indiana and the US -- but I'm not rich <alas> and for my family even $50 is like a million dollars now-a-days. <sigh> If you haven't visited the SK site it explains it pretty well how this works and then they donate the census cd to the county so it can be put online through the USGenWeb census project. I may have it slightly wrong as I am going by memory of what I remember reading -- but think it costs 75cents a census page (page a is one page, page b is another page) to make these images, then once they have all the images for a county and specific census date (say 1860) then they create the cd and it would be allowed to be viewed online as well as others can then purchase the cd for around $20 I think. Pike Co, IN has one census online already and I think there is a link off the census to the SK pages which explains this. Anyway -- if you haven't checked this out to see what we are speaking about -- it is the digitized actual page of the census and really is nice. Of course this is not indexed <yet> by surname and page that it is on, but this way YOU can choose to decipher the handwriting yourself. DISCLAIMER: I have nothing at all to do with SK Publications and my mention of your possibly donating some money to get these pages digitized is only because that is MY CHRISTMAS WISH that someone or a group of persons donates enough money to get at least one census for each of my three counties (Spencer, Perry and Gibson in Indiana) done so they can then be put online. Of course I would also LOVE to have every county in Indiana have at least once census online too.

Hi everyone, Sharon Bryant representing Putnam Co., IN. Not a lot going on from my end -- a lot of ambitious plans, some in the works. Have had surgery recently and just got promoted to a supervisory position at work. Also had hard drive crash--no, of course, it wasn't backed up. I'm hoping Santa will slip a zip drive in my stocking. But I'm still hanging in there. -----Original Message----- From: Debby Beheler <beheler@netusa1.net> To: INGEN-L@rootsweb.com <INGEN-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, December 03, 1998 1:28 PM Subject: ROLL CALL >Tis the season... and I am late my very first time as Roll Call Coordinator. >Please report in and tell us what's new in your county(ies).
