Negroes Come to South Bend for Annual Meeting. The ninth annual session of the Michigan conference embracing northern Indiana, northern Illinois, Michigan and parts of Canada, is being held at the A. M. E. Zion church, of which the Rev. L. P. Powell is pastor. Reports show that conditions are far in advance of former years. The influx of so many Negroes from the south has been the means of increasing the membership. On Sunday Rev. Dr. W. A. Blackwell, of Chicago, will preach at 11 a. m. at the church on Eddy street; Rev. Dr. J. W. Wood, of Indianapolis, the secretary of foreign missions will preach at 8 p. m. The afternoon service will be held at 3 o'clock at the First M. E. church of which Rev. Dr. Davis is pastor, at which time Bishop G. L. Backwell, of Philadelphia, will speak.

Also, the daughter, Mary Van Rie died on 14 Mar 1885 in Mishawaka. She was 8 years old. Thanks, Michelle Decatur Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Due to many links on the web site needing to be fixed, I have not added many obituaries in the past couple of months. The links should all be working soon. If you should see one that is needed let me know. I believe that I have all the links and pictures repaired on the Ladewski Papers and also on the Cemeteries. I am slowly checking all the other links and making sure that all the pictures are displaying properly. Sorry for any unconvinced this may have caused, believe me when I say that I have learned a great and hard lesson. The web page will not be moving off of Rootsweb. There is far too much valuable information here to be moving it around.

Hi everyone! For your information if you're interested in attending. :-) Rick B -------------------- Learn more about genealogy from some of the nation's leading experts and get the tools to implement that knowledge at Midwestern Roots 2008: Family History and Genealogy Conference, taking place Aug. 15-16. Sponsored by the Indiana Historical Society, the conference will take place at the Indianapolis Marriott East, located at 7202 East 21st St. in Indianapolis. Many pre-conference activities will take place at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center, located at 450 W. Ohio St. in downtown Indianapolis. Midwestern Roots will feature more than 30 presentations, covering topics ranging from DNA and genealogy to technology and methodology. The opening session of the conference will be led by James Madison, the Thomas and Kathryn Miller Professor of History at Indiana University (Bloomington), who will illuminate the importance and use of wartime letters for family history by relating stories from his new book Slinging Doughnuts for the Boys: An American Woman in World War II. Another featured presenter will be Megan Smolenyak Smolenyak, Chief Family Historian and North American spokesperson for Ancestry.com. Other notable national speakers appearing at Midwestern Roots include Dick Eastman, Roberta Estes, Charles F. Kerchner, David Lifferth, Stephen Morse, Christine Rose, Beau Sharbough and Curt Witcher. In addition to the sessions, an exhibit hall will showcase vendors selling the latest products and tools for genealogists. The exhibit hall is free and open to the public on Friday and Saturday. A pre-conference highlight on Thursday, Aug. 14, will be a panel discussion with some of the pioneers in genetic genealogy on its evolution, potential and present-day uses-panelists include Smolenyak, Estes and Kerchner. Other pre-conference activities include: tours of the William Henry Smith Memorial Library (History Center), the Indiana State Library and the Indiana State Archives; writing workshops on preparing family histories for publication; computer labs; and a workshop designed for library staff and volunteers who answer questions posed by genealogy patrons. The Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library, the State Archives and the William Henry Smith Memorial Library also will be open late for research. Cost for the basic two-day workshop (including lunches) is $150 ($125 for IHS members, $75 for students), and single-day registration (including lunch) is $90 ($75 for IHS members, $45 for students). Additional pre-conference activities and workshops are available for a fee, and the Indiana Historical Society will offer three scholarships for graduate students to attend the conference.
