Did you know that SOME libraries do limited research by mail? Many charge for just the costs of copying the info and mailing it. Normal procedure for long-distance research is: 1. Send the initial inquiry to the library stating as much as you know about the ancestor. (Many libraries with internet access will accept initial inquires by email.) 2. The libraries check their resources for info on your ancestor. 3. They contact you, stating how much $ to send for cost of copies. 4. You forward the funds along with a self-addressed stamped envelope. Sometimes they only have census records, but anything these libraries have available is a help when one doesn't live near the area! If you need the address of a library, check: http://www.acclaimed.com/helpful/ for more than 9,000 U.S. public libraries and addresses, phone numbers, and some email addresses. This same website also offers a list of 1500+ U.S. newspapers! Cindy Kimes

Hi Everybody: This message was sent to me by one of the genealogy chatlists that I monitor. I thought you might find it interesting. I apologize for the length, but she has done such a great job of explaining everything, I couldn't think of any way to shorten it without leaving out valuble info. Linda ----Original Message----- From: Virginia Ewing [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 01, 1999 5:00 PM Subject: LDS FAMILY SEARCH COMING SOON As the director of a LDS Family History Center, I have received a notice from Salt Lake LDS FHL, announcing the Beta testing of Family Search on line. It is not yet up, a problem with a piece of equipment, but will be starting sometimes this month and will be up only a few weeks as a test run. If there is not a lot of interest it will be taken off and not put back on. So spread the word and keep trying to get through. When it comes on line the URL will be: > www.familysearch.org <. I have not been told exactly what will be available but know at least the Ancestral File and Family History Library Catalog will be included. Family Search is the name of the program we have on CDs in all LDS FHCs. Some public libraries also have this program. FS includes the IGI, Ancestral File, Family History Library Catalog, Social Security Death Records, Koran and Vietnam war death records, and Scottish Church Records. For those of you not familiar with the various searches, the IGI is the International Genealogical Index. It includes, in alphabetical order, all of the names that have been sent to the Temples to have ordinances performed in their name. Names in the IGI are usually submitted by members, but not always. Non-members also submit their family names to get them into the IGI. Some of the marriages may have been part of extraction programs. The names were taken from courthouse records and checked and rechecked by several volunteers before being accepted as correct. Most people do try to send in accurate information but there are many mistakes. My advice is, always check the original source. Use the IGI to find where people with your surname would have lived and order the census and court records from that area. Ancestral File is Gedcoms of group and pedigree sheets sent in by members and non-members. The name and address of the submitter is included and hopefully will allow you to contact others working on your line. If the address is out of date sometimes a letter to the Membership dept. in Salt Lake will get you a correct address if the person was a member of the LDS church. Once again, the material is only as good as the research that went into it and some of it is pretty bad. Check it out before you 'adopt' it. If you find a mistake on Ancestral File, you can send in your corrections, along with your sources of proof, and it will be noted in the next update. The first submitter does not have to provide proof, but you do, if you are making a correction. You can add additions to a file, or submit a new file. You do not have to be a member to submit material. The Family History Library Catalog is a listing of every book, film and fiche available at the Salt Lake City LDS Family History Library. This allows us to find what is available for each locality, world-wide. It includes the FHL call numbers and a description of what is included in the film/fiche or book. The material from the books and film/fiche will not be on line. That is not something they can do, at this time. Hopefully it will be a possibility some time in the distant future. The film and fiche will still have to be ordered through FHC. Microfilm and microfiche are the property of the FHL and are sent into the care of the LDS FHC director and must remain under her/his care until returned. For this reason they are never allowed to be taken from the LDS FHC. Almost all of the microfilm and microfiche at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City can be ordered into any LDS FHL, anywhere in the world, but there are a few exceptions. Copyright laws prevent them from using material without the written consent of the owner. Some of the film and fiche where filmed by companies other than the LDS Church and permission to circulate these film to LDS FHCs has been denied. There will be a notice included in the description, saying it can not be circulated. Many of the SC microfilm where made by a company who has refused permission to allow the film to be circulated, but there are many microfilm available for SC, some covering the same material that is on the restricted film. The LDS FHL is a non-profit organization, and that is why it still cost only 15 cents a sheet for a microfiche, $3.25 plus tax to rent a microfilm for a month [may be more in other countries] and the SourceGuide and other home use programs are sold at such a reasonable price. We aren't allowed to make a profit, even in the FHCs. The books that are listed are not loaned out but can sometimes be obtained through an Inter-library loan through your public library. You can request copies of pages and if a book is indexed, by ordering the index you can see if your people would have been listed. In cases where the copyright has expired the book may have been filmed or can be filmed upon request. Never hurts to ask.

The 1860 census has Rachel Summey, age 77, born NC in Prairie Twp, dwelling 1191. The household is headed by Malinda Summey, age 49, and includes Rebecca 16, and William 17. Rachel has no real property, but Malinda has $1500, and Rebecca and William $1000 each. Next door (dwelling 1190) is a Lanson Summey, age 24 with $1000 property, wife Mary 23 and son Melvin 1. Malinda was born OH, and everyone else (except Rachel) was born in IN. Lanson is a farmer, but no occupations are given for the others. This is from the 1860 IN census CD records by Broderbund.

Hi listers, This obit was sent to me and I thought I'd share it with you all (with the blessing of the cousin who sent it to me). Sherry ***** Hi Sherry, My James line has been at rest for awhile, nothing new to report, except that I finally got over to Bethany when the genealogical society was open and I wasn't hauling any children with me. I found the obit for John M. James. Their old microfilm machine won't make copies, so I had to write it down. I did skip a paragraph about joining with the church, didn't specify what church, and a paragraph about being member of GAR post.

I typed as written, and I assume that the county of birth given is a unique spelling of Pickaway. You're also welcome to send it through the Kosciusko list if you think it would be of interest.

Hello, Could someone in Kosciusko Co lookup someone for me in the 1860 census? None of the Family History Centers around here has it. I'm looking for Rachael (Plummer) Summy. She died in 1867, buried in Clunette with her husband. I don't know where she was born or when, but I suspect she was born in North Carolina around 1780-ish.

Dear Gene and fellow tree climbers, I will be in Warsaw and Leesburg for the afternoon and night of 3/2 (Tuesday) and 3/3 to do some research and see the area my family pioneered. I want to see Dominique Rousseau's grave etc. and use the Historical Library/Museum. Is there anyone on the list who would have the time to meet me and help me out/ show me around? Please let me know. Brian Hogan (NUTT, ROUSSEAU, ERWIN, BOYDSTON) -- Brian Hogan 1371 Silverado Ave. McKinleyville, CA 95519 (707) 840-9233

Have no other >info except what is in the census records. Try Marshall County. It seems I recall we sold hogs to a man named Flory in the mid-to-late 50's. Maybe Bourbon or Argos area....just don't remember. Dave Norris from Mentone, IN now in VA
