Hi, Thanks for commenting and reviewing the parameter. I would also like to suggest that any questions relating to computing or genealogy may be addressed to the Gen-Newbie list (which has many decidedly non-newbies who offer a lot of help and suggestions on about everything related to both). I must warn all potential subscribers to Gen-Newbie that it is very active and there are many off-topic tangents that are tolerated much more than the standard gen mail lists. It's a safer environment for all sorts of things you'd like to ask and were afraid to! If you don't wish to subscribe to another list, may I suggest that about any topic relating to genealogy, including preservation of records and documents, can be found at Cyndi's List: http://www.cyndislist.com Kathleen Gambrills, Maryland kathleen.bowen@gmail.com or kbowen@hotmail.com FTM Pages: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/b/o/w/Kathleen-E-Bowen Your daily life is your temple and your religion. - Kahlil Gibran ----- Original Message ----- From: Carol C-H To: KING-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 11:04 AM Subject: Listowner post - Re: [KING] Thought this was a Genealogy website, the preservation subject has gone overboard,.

Hi Cindie, I agree with you. My advice to those that are tired of reading about the " Preservations ideas" - or any other subject - check the subject line before opening & "reading" the emails. If the subject is not of your interest/focus then delete the message. You might save everyone some "grief". That is my method for not only this list but others that I belong to. However, I have found some subjects of interest even if it is not my primary focus of research.

Has anyone here come acrossed information on a man by the name of, James KING who was born 1820, in Calton, Norfolk, England. He and his family settled in Canada some time between 1854 and 1857. I show James KING, his wife Mary GILSON/KING in a 1870 census for Ionia County in Michigan. They show five children living with them at that time. Sarah was married at that time of the census. 1. George KING b. May 1845, Norfolk, England (Never Married) 2. Sarah Ann KING b. 1848 m. James GRANT March 27, 1866, in Kent County, Michigan 3. William KING b. January 31, 1851, Black Horse Yard, Denver, England, m. Elener Jane JARMAN b. August 1848, Canada, Eng(Ontario) I have no wedding date for them yet. 4. Rebeca Estella KING b. August 1854, Walsingham Twp., Norfolk Co., m. Francis Mitchell WALKER 1874, in Ionia, Michigan. 5. Emily KING b. October 1857, in Canada. m. John L. LEARY 6. Caroline KING b. Abt. 1860, in Canada, m. Lee CREER May 30, 1891, Greenville, Montcalm County, Michigan. I haven't been able to locate a burial place for James. He died about 1889 and I am assuming that he died in Michigan. His wife, Mary died, December 28, 1895, in Boston Twp. Ionia County, Ionia, Michigan, but I can not find her in any cemetery around that area. The last census I have for the family is 1880 in Ionia Co., Michigan. Their oldest son, George is said to have been buried in Michigan in that area but there is no record for a cemetery. Is it possible that they would have been buried on their land? From the information that I can find, it shows that the whole family stayed around the same area in Michigan. I have felt very good that I have found the information that I have found this far as I went years without finding out a thing. If anyone has any ideas of where to go from here I would love to hear it. I have gotten the birth, deaths, and marriage certificates for everyone that I can find from this family. I am hoping to find some probate records. I have bene told it will be $90.00 to have those records found and copied and sent to me. It is $1.00 a copy to go to the county and look it up and copy them myself. I have not been able to get to Ionia to do that. Maybe when the weather gets better. Thank you very much for any help.

Hi Lynn and Billy, I too look at the subject line to see if it is of interest. Although, I have to say, that I have also learned to look at most everything, even if the subject line doesn't always catch my eye. I have gotten curious and gone ahead and opened mail up from mailing lists that I thought would be nothing of interest to my genealogy and found that I was wrong. So, one never knows. I look at these mailing lists as a community of people helping people. We all have an interest in learning new things. It was very disappointing to see someone call others advice stupid. Things all fell into place when I read the word, "stupider". That isn't in my dictionary. /o: Happy hunting! Cindie(o: vtgoldwing@aol.com wrote: Hi Cindie, I agree with you.

I like your ideas. A woman on my husbands mothers side of the family made a book on their surname from their fathers side of the family. She included some pictures and copies of documents which was great. She also added names, birth dates, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers for several of us to stay in touch and to add to the information. It was nice that the families that were interested in it could purchase it for what she had into the work. We keep our family pictures and genealogy in a safe, but we also have put the information with pictures and copies of documents on a CD to share with our families here and abroad. Hopefully, if something happens to any of our copies of information, we will have others to fall back on. Who knows if there is a perfect way to preserve our research. I am always learning something new and I hope as we learn new ways to save our work, that we can share it with eachother. This has been great. The King surname is such a common name that I don't want to lose anything! (o: Thank you all for sharing.

The past few days of emails are stupid and stupider, if that is possible about preservation. I've been looking for over 10 years for the parents of George King, born in Maryland abt. 1895, and I think his parents could be Richard and Elizbetha King. Possible siblings of George are Eliza, (married Marcus Gun), Othey and John and they all lived in Washington Co., PA. in early 1800 records.

When I called about an error they told me that they do not correct or verify the information. However, they did tell me to send in the corrections and a notation will be made on the "next CD" they produce. Irene Barbara King <jyccatering@earthlink.net> wrote: Tina, I'm not sure you are right.

They have two sets of children for the very same couple in my line, and I can do nothing to have this information corrected. They obviously didn't have both sets of children. They only had one complete set of children...the correct ones.

The LDS people will most likely make a database copy on either film or disk and store it in a massive under ground storage area where they maintain copies of their vast collection of genealogical data. Another way of insuring that the genealogical data that you have collected is saved, is to assemble copies in a book or booklet format and donate a copy to the main local libraries where your ancestors have lived. Also pass a copy on to the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT and they will most likely microfilm the information and add it to their vast microfilm collection. A copy of a book that I wrote about 10 years ago, which contained a lot of KING genealogical data, was microfilmed by the LDS Family History Library. Copies of the book on microfilm titled From Wagons To Spaceships, can be ordered for viewing by any interested researcher at their nearest LDS Family History Center. There is a small charge for ordering the film and the film can be viewed free using their projection equipment at your nearby Family History Center. (LDS Family History Centers are located in most major population centers in the USA and overseas; see their Internet listing for more information.) I am not a member of the LDS Church, but I have made extensive use of their genealogical resources. It is no doubt the largest single source of genealogical data in the world. Their genealogical data collection is related to one of their religious beliefs. Most members in good standing have data on the last five generations of their ancestors. I no longer have time for answering research requests. However, if you have very close connection to my KING-CLOUD family lines I will try to find time to answer your email. Happy researching.

Let's hope not. Some of the stuff on LDS is not correct!

In another 25 years Ancestry.Com and LDS will have everything about everyone's family tree. Not sending mine because of what Tina said, there are too many mistakes there and I cannot prove all of mine even though I feel that it is all accurate! Just share, share, share with all of your family. There appears to always be someone in a family who will keep records and keep sharing.
