Greetings from the International Internet Genealogical Society University. By now you may have heard of the IIGS and the IIGS University but maybe you had not considered volunteering. The IIGS University involves an endeavor to place on line, free how to genealogical lessons on a national level. The lessons may be accessed at any time. A number of states are already on line with lessons and we have South African and Canadian lessons either ready or almost ready to go up. I represent South Carolina. We have Virginia lessons online and there are volunteers working in Washington, D.C., Conneticut, Mississippi, and Washington state. I would love to hear from anyone willing to join in and be a part of our team. You may access the S.C. lessons at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/6399/lessonmenu.html to get an idea of what I am working on. From that page you may link to the main IIGS University catalog and library to see what we already have on line. If you wish to pass this message on to any list for your state on which one has to be a subscriber to send messages, please feel free to do so. I will apoligize in advance for any duplications for those who belong to multiple lists. Cindy Ridgeway Parker Instructor's Liaison IIGS University cindyparker@ftc-i.net

Believe it or not, we have 43 subscribers on the LASTJOHN-L discussion list. Mail on this list seems to be few and far between, though. The purpose of this list is to share genealogy information, and ask for help with research. I hope that you all will utilize this list to get the help you need finding your evassive ancestors. Personally, I do not have any surnames from this parish. I am here to help maintain the St. John The Baptist Parish LAGenWeb site and help you all with your research. I live in LaPlace and can access information from the library. If you need me to look up anything, just ask. I will do my best to find what you are looking for. The librarians are very helpful also. Another avenue of research is to check out the query pages on the St. John Parish site (http://www.rootsweb.com/~lastjohn/query.htm). You may find someone who is researching the same surnames you are. If you have any newly found genealogy sites or would like to share the URL of the sites you use most often, drop us a line and let us know. I have found many useful sites through members of lists. Hopefully we can get the LASTJOHN-L list a little more active. Thanks!! Michelle Fradella, County Coordinator St. John The Baptist Parish, LAGenWeb LASTJOHN-L Listowner P.S. If you are getting messages from this list and do not wish to be subscribed, please send a message to LASTJOHN-L-request@rootsweb.com In the body of the message just type : unsubscribe

Hello Michelle, I haven't contributed to LASTJOHN-L@rootseb.com -- yet, but I've received lots of great data on many families. I have to respond to one or two people because I really believe I have something of value for them. I do hope to share more of my research with LASTJOHN-L in the future. I guess my reluctance is that I have not verified the accuracy of all of the information. While I have sources on some of it, some are only personal accounts from elderly relatives long deceased. And even legal documents conflict, and probably always will regarding the spelling of names, full names, etc. However, I've been thinking that if it's a legal document, and a source is given, others can use the information based on the specific knowledge of the source. Is contributing to the LASTJOHN-L list difficult to do? I would be interested in your comments. What other families are you researching? I am related in several ways to the Haydels, so the marriage information you sent on them will be quite helpful. In response to your offer on Early Louisiana Marriage Lookups, I know that quite a number of Becnel researchers would be thrilled at verifying some Becnel marriages. Do you need specific names of individuals and/or places? I believe you know of Darlene Becnel Schanatz, and possibly several others in our "group" of online researchers. Darlene was your contact when you extended the invitation for us to receive your list. And forgive me for not doing it sooner, "Thank You" so much for allowing us to receive the genealogical information generated by LASTJOHN-L. I fear that we'll be thrown out on our ear if we don't give something back, and I want to do that -- and soon. Take care Michelle. David B. Becnel New Orleans

If any of you would like me to search the Ancestry Database for Marriages before 1850, please just ask. I have a membership for the next month to the Ancestry Library and I would be glad to do lookups. Michelle Fradella St. John Parish, LAGenWeb LASTJOHN-L Listowner
