KEEP IT GOING!!!! 2008 Election Issue!! GET A BILL STARTED TO PLACE ALL POLITICIANS ON SOC. SEC. This must be an issue in "2008 ". Please! Keep it going. ---------------------------------- SOCIAL SECURITY: (This is worth reading. It is short and to the point.) Perhaps we are asking the wrong questions during election years. Our Senators and Congresswomen do not pay into Social Security and, of course, they do not collect from it. You see, Social Security benefits were not suitable for persons of their rare elevation in society. They felt they should have a special plan for themselves. So, many years ago they voted in their own benefit plan. In more recent years, no congressperson has felt the need to change it. After all, it is a great plan. For all practical purposes their plan works like this: When they retire, they continue to draw the same pay until they die. Except it may increase from time to time for cost of living adjustments.. This is calculated on an average life span for each of those two Dignitaries. For example, Senator Byrd and Congressman White and their wives may expect to draw $7,800,000.00 (that's Seven Million, Eight-Hundred Thousand Dollars), with their wives drawing $275,000.00 during the last years of their lives. Younger Dignitaries who retire at an early age, will receive much more during the rest of their lives. Their cost for this excellent plan is $0.00. NADA....ZILCH.... This little perk they voted for themselves is free to them. You and I pick up the tab for this plan. The funds for this fine retirement plan come directly from the General Funds; "OUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK"! From our own Social Security Plan, which you and I pay (or have paid) into,-every payday until we retire (which amount is matched by our employer)-we can expect to get an average of $1,000 per month after retirement. Or, in other words, we would have to collect our average of $1,000 monthly benefits for 68 years and one (1) month to equal Senator! Bill Bradley's benefits! Social Security could be very good if only one small change were made. That change would be to: Jerk the Golden Fleece Retirement Plan from under the Senators and Congressmen. Put them into the Social Security plan with the rest of us. then sit back..... and watch how fast they would fix it. If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe good changes will evolve. How many people can YOU send this to? Better yet..... How many people WILL you send this to?? Keep this going clear up thru the 2008 election!! We need to be heard Ruth Janet

For taking pictures, I'd strongly suggest a digital camera. ( If You have one Or can Borrow one ) The initial cost can be high, but then afterwards, it's great. I'd also suggest taking rubbing materials for those stones that are worn. Use unbleached muslin, it's pretty inexpensive. Then have "ball wax," which is a special wax used by shoemakers to coat heels and edges of shoes. It comes in brown and black. One piece lasts a long time. Also use masking tape. Cut a piece of muslin to overlap the inscription area. Then tape it tightly to the stone, rub over the cloth with the ball wax and voila, you are able to get some pretty good results. Also take a picture of the stone with the finished rubbing still attached. Also make sure to clean up all the pieces of tape, etc, so as to leave the cemetery clean and neat. If you combine the two, photos with rubbings of unclear stones, you get a nice record.

I have two or three copies of the book you mention. My Grandfather, Elbert "Bert" Walker McKinney had it tucked away in a back bedroom with a copy of a 1945 Book of Mormon and a rubberband around both of them.... on the book he wrote, "Family Tree SAVE". I have poured over that book many times and gleaned all the information from it that I could about our family. (See my Genealogy files.) There was a "corrected" version of the Book as well... and I have that one too! I believe I also have the map you refer to.... it shows the JR McKinney homestead down around Clay Lick and Licking Union which is now under water. This map shows the families close by also.... The Williams were our direct line also and are my Great Grandparents buried at the Ginter Cemetery overlooking the Cave Run Lake.... very beautiful.

I'm running into a problem with the various Samuel Cornetts and I may very well have my facts on "my" Samuel Cornett mixed in with the facts of other Samuel Cornetts. "My" Samuel Cornett married, among others, Margaret Wilson. I find them in Perry Co, KY in 1850 and Owsley Co, KY in 1860.According to his Civil War pension papers, he later married Lucy Day, who died in 1902 and Amanda Adkins. He claimed to have been married four times. He died in Rowan Co, KY in 1909. I would like to know 1. what cemetery is he buried in? 2. who are his parents? Originally, I had read that his parents were Hiram Cornett and Charity Rice. Help! Beverlee Stuart-Borok

The Senate did not vote on the vital records bill yesterday. (HB100) They passed it over and did not vote on it. It still could come up for a vote before the sessions ends. To make your feelings known, contact the Senate: Out of State 502-564-8100 In Kentucky: 1-800-372-7181 You can leave a message for ALL Senators. If you do not live in Kentucky tell them that this bill affects your right to information about your family who died in Kentucky. Other states have solved the identity theft issue by issuing certificates that are non-certified and stamped "For Genealogical Use Only - Not For Identification." Bill Status Line: 1-866-301-9004 HB 100

I've gotten so many requests that I'd better clarify how to get copies of the non-certified death certificates for 1911 - 1953 from the Kentucky Historical Society. You have to GO to the Kentucky Historical Society in Frankfort to copy them yourself for .30. You can also request a library reference person to copy it for you by mail or online. The charge is $5 if you are in-state or $12 if you are out-of-state. If you want more than one certificate use the Staff Researcher service which is hourly. $25 per hour (or $15 if you are a member of the Kentucky Historical Society.) They can copy several in an hour. Please us the online index to get the certificate number and year that it was filed. (usually this is the same year as the death.) One of the easiest to use is the Kentucky Vital Records Project of the Kentucky Gen Web. http://www.rootsweb.com/~kygenweb/kvrp/ You can order the certificates online with a credit card from the Kentucky Historical Society.
