"Put on your old silk bonnet with the red (?) ribbons on it...." Stop #9 on our 1998 Virtual USGenWeb Tour! The site for Friday, November 13, is: Howard County, Indiana <http://www.rootsweb.com/~inhoward/county.html> Howard County, located in north central Indiana, was formed in 1844 from parts of Carroll, Miami and Cass counties as well as the Miami Indian Reserve. It is one of the 4 "youngest" counties in Indiana, as well as the only county to change its name by legislative enaction (originally Richardville County). Stop by for some Hoosier Hospitality - read some turn of the century chronologies and pioneer speeches, browse through queries, obituaries and other newspaper extracts and leave comments. You can be the next person to showcase your USGenWeb site on this tour! Be quick on the "send" button, because the first email message I receive saying "I want to host the Virtual USGenWeb Tour for Saturday, November 14th!" will be the next stop.

Have you closed your lists? You can do this on the Rootsweb Listowners Utility Page for your list. You can do this at the bottom of the page from the Customize Settings link. This would only allow subscribers to the list to post to the list. With this setting I have not had ANY spam get through to the list. Either Rootsweb catches it, or it gets redirected to me to determine if it is legitimate or not. I can then choose to send it to the list or not.

Hi, Folks! I've had lots of questions about this Rush Co death book 1823-56. It's from the Probate books for those years. Someone has gone through and picked out the names & death dates. It's only 17 pages so it would be really easy for me to copy for someone & mail it off, etc... for the fee of copying & sending. It's also really easy to tell you the surnames that appear in the book...

To all: I really goofed up. Some one of you asked a couple of weeks ago about a book that we have here at the Rushville Library called Death Records 1823-56...

Tim, I do! - http://www.netusa1.net/~selbypub/ .... Selby Publishing "ADAMS CO. 1887 BIOGRAPHICAL & HISTORICAL RECORD - Lewis Pub. Co.

Hi everyone, Last May I ordered a reprint of the Biographical and Historical Record of Adams Co., IN (1882) from the Higgonson Book Co., in Massachusetts. There is a reprint from them in the Decatur Public Library. They promised 10 weeks..it's now been nearly six months and nothing. I've made several calls and keep getting excuses. Do you know of any other booksellers that offer reprints of the old county histories? Thanks.

>>NEWS AND NOTES FROM ROOTSWEB >> >>FASTER PAGES AT ROOTSWEB. As some folks may have noticed, access >>to <http://www.rootsweb.com> has been slower in recent weeks than >>it has been in the past. The reason is that so many genealogists >>are simultaneously using it that we are very nearly exceeding the >>amount of bandwidth we have available for transmitting Web pages >>through the Internet. >> >>To remedy that problem, RootsWeb has just signed a contract with >>Concentric.NET to obtain direct access to the Internet's >>backbone, and we will be moving the main Web server sometime >>within the next week. There will be about a four-hour downtime as >>we move the server. >> >>The great news is that this should allow us to serve pages as >>fast as the very best commercial sites on the Internet; the bad >>news is that this contract adds another $4,000 per month in >>expenses to our already extremely tight budget. >> Dr. Brian Leverich >> >> >>==== DABNEY Mailing List ==== >>To unsubscribe from this list: >>*Regular Mail Mode: send the unsubscribe command to this address: >><DABNEY-L-request@rootsweb.com> >>*Digest Mode: send the unsubscribe command to this address: >><DABNEY-D-request@rootsweb.com> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> > > >==== KYGEN Mailing List ==== >GenConnect Query System >http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/index.html > > >
