There are so many county and state archives that microfilm their records and then throw them away. I heard about a county courthouse in Michigan (I think it was) that took 5 dumptruck loads of original records to the dump!!! That's why I started collecting these materials and started the Archive. That's what the real problem is in giving them back to the county archives. It may have been the same people who threw it away! Or who is to say that they will not throw them away in the future? I wanted to offer an alternative to the records being pulled apart and sold piece by piece. Cheryl

Some secretary or some "other" person probably took the records from the trash. Alas, this is very sad, but it happens. Just recently in Rochester, MN my husband's grandfather sold his business which was a photography studio dating back to the turn of the century. He sold everything in one package when he retired. The person buying the business couldn't make a go of it. When everything was liquidated the thousands of photographs found there way to a garage. About one year ago someone cleaning the garage found these pictures and donated them to the Olmsted County Historical Society. Imagine our surprise this summer when we went back for a visit, and while doing my genealogy search we were informed of the donation. It was amazing to see my husband's baby pictures permanently placed in safekeeping with the society. The only way to prevent this from happening is to get involved with the local historical society and watch for business (cemeteries, etc.) that have computerized their records. I recently had this happen in Wyoming. They have distroyed all paper records to the cemetery in Casper because "everything" is on computer. Were they absolutely 100% positive the records were correct, were surveys done ....No.... Many unnamed graves are lost forever. It's sad, but unfortunately true, with our new computer age. Paper copies just aren't valuable anymore, except to a genealogist. -----Original Message----- From: Andy & Pat <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Thursday, December 17, 1998 9:17 PM Subject: Re: Help save MN ledgers I have occassionally seen old ledges of public records for sale, and I believe that this is probably illegall.

Hi Sasha; Yes, I found a short obit for Grandma Self. Although she was in your and Georges line, she did not belong in Don's line. The Nappanee News, Thursday, August 2, 1888, Vol. X, No. 19, page 8. Milford - After a lingering illness Grandma Self died on Saturday night at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. J. C. McLaughlin. She was the mother of Eli and Ed Holloway of Syracuse, and of Mrs. McLaughlin of this place. Her age was about 75 years. Funeral sunday evening at 6 o'clock from the M. E. Church. This was not an obit as we know them to-day but for the time period it was good as it listed the day she died and several of her children. I did not check if the Nappanee News was a weekly paper or a daily paper. I will have to check this out. Hope you and your family have a happy holiday season.

Hi, Sally - George called me and told me you had found the obit of Mary Doty Self in the Nappanee paper - could you e-mail that to me? Thanks. Sasha

Hi everyone, This might be a little off the topic, but it still pertains to genealogy!! I have a private archive that rescues original genealogical and historical materials. At this time, until our nonprofit status is approved, I am personally funding all of the acquisitions and we have received a few donations. I also am an antique dealer and had a fellow dealer offer me 6 original, handwritten birth/marriage/death register ledger books!!! I purchased one from him a couple of months ago and it is exactly the type of ledger you find in the county courthouse or archive with all the original documents!!! If I don't purchase these from him he is going to take them apart and sell them sheet by sheet at auction!! If anyone would like to donate a few dollars to help rescue these ledgers I would really appreciate it! His asking price is $350 for all six. As we understand it, any donations before we receive our nonprofit status will be taxdeductible after our status is received and is retroactive for 15 months. Anyone who makes a donation will be listed on the Archive's website donation page with a special thank you! Thanks so much for all your time!

Yes, the Ramada is nice but so is the Holiday Express and the Hampton Inn. Any of these would be OK. The Holiday Express and Hampton Inn were opened this summer as new facilities. The Ramada is totally overhauled in the past year as it was the former Holiday. Any one of these should be nice. The phone # for the Ramada is 219-269-2323, Hampton Inn is 219-269-6655 and the Holiday Express 219-268-1600.

Hello, Can anyone tell me what the best motel is to stay in Warsaw. I am planning on being there Thursday evening and spending time at the library and the Historical Society on Friday. Sharon

Looking for background information on Caleb Hughes/Hughs. I found on the Kosciusko County GenWeb site his marriage to Rebecca Baker on 25 Feb 1841 and he was listed in the 1850 census as 34 yrs old and a blacksmith living in Prairie township. One of my ancestors was James DeMoss, who at one time lived in Prairie township and served in the civil war. In his pension records Caleb gave a statement on an affidavit as to his health prior to enlisting. He stated that James DeMoss worked for him at his sawmill. I'm looking for information was to where Caleb lived and the location of the sawmill. Thank you Walter John Kiger

Can anyone tell me when Packerton was founded and by whom? The name Packer has just surfaced in my family tree, connected with another branch of the family who married into the Rhodes family. Thanks for any help. Jaira Scoles Hill Silverton, OR

My understanding is that birth records did not start until about 1882 in Kosciusko Co. At least, civil records did not start until then. It might be you could find a baptism. June

We didn't have any street lights at night and we had air raid wardens who kept watch all over in towers, made of wood for incoming or all airplanes. They spotted the planes and anything suspicious they called in immediately. On the coast the coves were outlined with barbed wire and they had soldiers with watch dogs, in the case of Santa Cruz California, the dogs were German Shepherds, and the big derigibles cruising along looking for submarines. I lived in the San Joaquin Valley and we had a little place in Santa Cruz so I remember all this. Plus, you could only drive 35 miles per hour on the roads, to conserve gasoline. Kay

Hi All; Yes, there was a Naval program at Notre Dame University for cadets in a V 8 or V 1 program. I cannot remember what the right designation was. When they finished this program they became ensigns in the U S Navy Also, Bendix and Studebaker were BIG in defense manufacturing. I sure there were others too but do not know what. As my mother had 2 sister's living in So. Bend we saved gas to make trips there on holidays and some shopping. I remember seeing these cadets strolling in the business district when uptown still had a business district. All changes are not for the good. We must always remember if it were not for the civilian population being 100% behind the military we might not have won WW 11. We saved all cans, smashed them down as we do today in the recycling program. Also, don't forget the ration stamps.

Hi All: Yes, I remember a Naval program at Notre Dame during WW 11. It was called V 8 or V 1 - I do not remember which and when the cadets graduated from this program they became ensigns in the US Navy. I remember them strolling in the uptown district of So. Bend when we visited there. My mother had 2 sisters living in So. Bend so we went there as often as we could what with gas rationing etc. Bendix and Studebaker were BIG in defense manufacturing and I am sure there others but do not know who. If it had not been for the home front being 100% behind the military the outcome might have been different or the war might have lasted longer. Also, the official date for the ending of WW 11 was December 31, 1946 and not when the surrender was signed aboard the USS Missouri. September 2, 1945 was the ending of military action.
