Dear List Members, I belong to many mailing list besides the ones I am List Mom for. I had a real eye opener this weekend on several of them and it made me appreciate each of you more than you will ever know. I saw members putting each other down, demeaning one another, screaming at each other if one could scream via an e-mail. I saw new members leave because they were made to feel foolish only because they did not know the rules of the list. I feel blessed to be the List Mom of your list and I thank you with all of my heart for the manner in which you handle yourselves on it and for the way you treat each other. Because of each of you I am able to take care of as many lists and I do - and love each and every moment of it. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

02/28/01 - NY POST TO PUT ENTIRE ARCHIVES ONLINE I found the following news item to be quite interesting and thought I would pass it on. Could be a valuable and inexpensive tool. Wednesday, February 28, 2001 NY POST TO PUT ENTIRE ARCHIVES ONLINE Microfilm To Be Digitized By Canadian Company by Wayne Robins Alexander Hamilton's editorials =97 online from the New York Post? The archives of America's oldest continually-published daily are going online, and may be accessible in time for the November bicentennial of the Federalists' paper, founded in 1801. "Our archives are really a treasure trove," said Post Editor Ken Chandler. "Over the years we've kept them intact on microfilm, but obviously that's a very cumbersome way to reach them." The digitizing is being done by Cold North Wind, a two-year-old company based in Ottawa, Ontario, with a division in Framingham, Mass. Last year the parent company of The Toronto Star bought a minority share in Cold North Wind, which is also digitizing the entire archives of that newspaper. "Newspapers are the only record of continuous daily life for the last 400 years," Cold North Wind's CEO Bob Huggins said in an interview with E&P Online last week. The company says it has acquired digital rights to thousands of newspapers dating back to the 1700's. Its proprietary software, known as Paper of Record, scans microfilm to create digital images of the original newspaper pages. The archives will be searchable, and can be automatically updated with a streaming feed. Cold North Wind and the newspapers with which it works will share revenue. Neither Huggins nor Chandler of the Post knows how the numbers or percentages will play out. But Huggins expects that subscriptions will "eliminate the nonsense of paying $2.95 or whatever per article." Chandler added, "We don't look at it as something that's going to generate great revenues. But we're sitting on an asset we haven't been able to exploit until now, so it's all kind of gravy."

----- Original Message ----- From: James Dilley To: KY-ROLLCAL-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, March 09, 2001 8:12 AM Subject: Thomas L. FARISH of Kentucky Thomas L. Farish married Ann Eliza Leet in 1852 in Union Twp, Washington County, Ohio. He died in Washington County in Sep 1858, three months before his son, my husband's grandfather, Joseph Leet Farish, was born. They had a daughter Susan(nah) who was born in 1854, and perhaps, two others - Virginia and Tute. Thanks to the 1920 Federal Census containing his son, I recently discovered that Thomas L. Farish was born in Kentucky. That is all we know about him. Does anyone know of a Farish family living in Kentucky in the late 1820's-early 1830's? Carole Jackson Dilley Portsmouth, RI

The records have been available for years through the National Archives but not in organized form. The church, formally the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, spent 11 years, with help from volunteer Utah state inmates, extracting and linking the 480,000 names contained in the records. The result is a searchable database on compact disk which includes information such as family names, birth locations and names of former slave owners. ``These records can provide clues for an estimated 8 to 10 million African American descendants living today who might want to research their family histories,'' said Elder L. Lionel Kendrick, a church official. The church began the project when an employee discovered the existence of the original microfilm records. At that time, no one had undertaken the long process of extracting the documents into one database. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (news - bio - voting record), a Texas Democrat, said, ``For too long, African-American history was embodied in untruth. We were not given an opportunity for truth.'' The Freedman's Savings and Trust Company was established through a congressional charter in 1865 - the same year the Civil War ended - to help former slaves with their new financial responsibilities. With 37 branch offices in 17 states, the bank had deposits totaling more than $57 million before it collapsed in 1874 because of mismanagement and fraud. What survived, however, were meticulous bank documents recording the names and family relationships of account holders. One application for a former slave lists the name of his former plantation, age, complexion, children, place of birth and occupation. It also lists the names of siblings who were sold away during slavery. ``The records created by the bank are a rich source of documentation,'' said Reginald Washington, an archivist with the National Archives and Records Administration. Still, the discovery of the documents poses prickly questions for the nation. When the bank closed, about 61,000 account holders were eligible to receive money. Less than 30,000 former slaves ever recovered their money and even then, most received just over half of what they were actually owed, Washington said. Jackson Lee said it was premature to say whether there would be legislation to compensate the former account holders. Instead, she said she hoped to first have a review of the bank's records and operations. Jewish descendants of the Holocaust have sued several European countries in recent years over decades-old bank accounts and other property confiscated by Adolf Hitler's Germany and European collaborators. The Freedman's Bank had branches in Huntsville and Mobile, Ala.; Little Rock, Ark.; Washington, D.C.; Tallahassee, Fla.; Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah, Ga.; Lexington and Louisville, Ky.; New Orleans and Shreveport, La.; Baltimore, Columbus, Natchez and Vicksburg, Miss.; St. Louis; New York; New Bern, Raleigh and Wilmington, N.C.; Philadelphia; Beaufort and Charleston, S.C.; Memphis and Nashville, Tenn.; Lynchburg, Norfolk and Richmond, Va. The Mormon church has maintained a massive genealogical database since 1894, originally to assist church members in tracing their family histories. The collection today is the largest of its kind. The church also plans to release a searchable database of the 1880 Census. - The Freedman's Bank Records CD can be purchased for $6.50 over the Internet at http://www.familysearch.org, or by calling church distribution centers at 1-800-527-5971 and asking for item 50120. ================================ Ann Wilmer National Coordinator Green Ribbon Campaign for Open Records http://levgen.www.50megs.com/grcampaign.html To subscribe to Update go to http://www.yahoogroups.com and put GRC_UPDATE in the search box.

Dear List Members, Rootsweb is slowly coming back. The messages are beginning to trickle through. We are not able to get on Rootsweb.com or am I able to get into the List Utility pages. Password Central is not available either. Before long now we will be back to normal though. Just a few items I would like to bring to your attention. 1. In the course of a day I receive many requests to help members unsubscribe. Before you ask me to help, which I am always happy to do, send on the word UNSUBSCRIBE to XXXXXXX-L-REQUEST@ROOSTWEB.COM (XXXXXX being the name of your list.) If that does not work, then you can go to Password Central and ask for a list of all mailing lists you are subscribed to. You will receive an e-mail posting of these lists and you can unsubscribe from it. http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ 2. Please check your subject line when sending back to the entire list. Make sure it covers the subject of your posting. The very person you want to read it may just delete it if you are looking for the history of John Smith and the subject line talks about burial place of Isaac Kirkpatrick. 3. If you are responding to a message, please delete some of the past postings from the bottom on your e-mail. After there has been several responses the amount of un-needed information that tags along is causing many of our members problems with the size the e-mail becomes. Again, thank you for your support of me and of the list rules. It is because of each of you that this list is the success it is. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Dear List Members, Starting at 8 a.m. PST Friday, February 23, RootsWeb will begin a planned temporary downtime for maintenance of its servers and hosting process. It will limit this downtime as much as possible, and will return with increased performance and reliability for future growth. The down time will be about 24 hours. If you do not receive any postings during this time do not worry, all will be back up and running soon. Your List Mom is going to take a 24 hours nap. Kathleen Burnett List Mom
