I just very stupidly sent you all an email with a misleading subject line, so I imagine most of you didn't look at it. I'm working on Oldhams in Mississippi, centered in and around Attala County, starting in the early to mid 1800s, and there are some confusions in the information I have. If anybody wants to share information, please let me know. Thanks.

I need a BIG request, my granfather Ed Edmiston, Edgar EDMISTON, J.E. EDMISTON died 1966-1969 I thought in Jackson, TN but there is no record of him dieing in TN, so the next place would be Mississippi where he was born, he was born in Tate MS.  My Uncle lived in Memphis but when he died his funeral was at Brantley funeral home in Olive Branch, MS and then he was brought back to Memphis for burial.  Can someone help me on this? Thank you, Bobby

Is anyone else working on the Oldhams of Mississippi, mostly Kosciusko in the mid to late 1800s? If so, I hope you'll get in touch with me--I've got reams of data that contradicts itself, and some firm things that I am happy to share.

I thought the purpose of the MS rootsweb list was to exchange genealogical information. Instead, it seems to be a chat room. My e-mailbox is full each day of items that offer absolutely nothing to help me track my MS ancestors. I've reached the point where I'm deleting the RE:SSDI subjects without opening. I hate to cancel, but I'm too busy to deal with dozens of of pieces of irrelevant mail each day.

Bobbye, you did great, thanks. Ethel.

Sometimes you have to separate the chaff to find the wheat! It's always worth the effort. Nobody said that each letter would give you a new piece of data. If it did, I'd be on every list there is! Besides that, the SS-5 cost going up certainly does effect you, if you are doing your genealogy.

Hi All - This cemetery has very few markers left. The story goes that after Hurricane Camille went thru the area there was a lot of damage to markers and trees were blown down. The Corps of Engineers came in with bulldozers and dozed all the broken markers, etc. away. I've been told a lot of my ancestors are buried here. I have also been told there was a map made of the cemetery by a elderly lady who remembered who was buried where. Does anyone know about this map and/or where it may be. Members of the church told me it used to be in the basement but disappeared long ago. Thanks ahead of time for any help.

Art: I don't think we are bad mouthing the government. It is just strange that NARA and Soc.Sec. have increased their fees out of proportion to the service they provide. Since Genealogy has become one of the most popular activities these days, I truly believe that the powers that be are taking us for a ride. The excuse for the increase at SS was that they have do so much more research for the public now. Well, wait a minute there boys, first of all our taxes pay the wages for those GS-3/4 to open a file drawer and make photocopies and also we have to provide them with the name and number on the form because they Do Not do searches for us. I know how the government works or doesn't work because I am a federal retiree who chose a early out rather than stay around with the desperate and/or indifferent employees. Anyone who tries to do a good job is ridiculed and reminded to read their job description and the employee manual.

Gerald: I have picked up the form letter sent out and mailed it to the list I administer with the advice that everyone express their own feelings in their own words. I hope all administrators and others will get this ball rolling and we will come up with more than 200,000 letters and emails of protest. Does anyone have an email address for this "person". Letters might prove more effective since email can be blocked. So let's invest our last zinc pennies in a 34Cent stamp and let our voices be heard. Remember we Revoluted once about taxation and we can now protest like H---- because it is Constitutionally our right. Go For It!!!!! Tree Mother Who said "I am mad as Hell?"

They won't allow these to be posted under pensions as it doesn't have anything to do with war pensions. They would work under query, though. The subject line could read something like: SS-5 for John Doe (1906-1969) I would place a transcription of the record into the message and attach the copy in case others have trouble reading the copy that was uploaded. These would be great for posting under the appropriate surname. Location might also work if you can figure out which location to post it to. I know that with my grandma, she was born in Gloster, Amite county, MS, died in New Orleans, LA and is buried in Rosetta, Wilkinson county, MS. Which would I choose to list her under? Maybe the best idea would be to use the location she was at when she applied for the card and/or her maiden name for a choice of boards to post it to. Thanks for the ideas, Ken!

My apologizes to those of you who feel stigmatized by what I wrote. My mistake was that I wrote from the heart not the head. But I told the truth. I put pride aside and wrote what I felt. I too received a statement from my Senator Thad Cochran and was told that if it came up he would keep my comments in mind. I know that is as far as it will go. >From now on if I lend support to any thing I will do it privately. I just hate to be snookered by the bureaucrats. Good bye All

I would bet Bill O'Reilly (Fox News)could get to the bottom of this... The price increase is way too much for we retired people....You pay $27 for SS records, $25 & Up for Military records $12 for birth and death records etc..this is per relative often times. I personally think there should be no charge for public records and they should be on line for us to research. We as tax payers have already paid the wages of these employees..... Then if we choose to have a certified copy we can pay for that. (Clerk of court records are on line for much of Florida.) Locally you can only get a certified death certificate. Why do I need a certified death certificate when I only want the names of parents and places of birth... Just my two cents worth.....Bass _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Perhaps, since you all don't want to be "stigmatized" in this way, you all should write your own letter and paste a copy of it onto the list so that others of your persuasion could use it. :o) Otherwise, why say anything at all??

Hi, I would just like to let all know that I sent a letter to my Senator when all of this first came up about the increase. I am not able to scan the letter I received,but I can copy it into here word for word so that all of you can see the response I received.Even if you had done something before the increase, I don't think it would have done any good.This letter is from BLANCHE LAMBERT LINCOLN (wonder if her husband is a desc. of Pres. Lincoln?) and she is a Senator from Arkansas. "Dear Dawn: Thank you for contacting me regarding the increase in fees charged by the Social Security Administration for requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The Social Security Administration cannot charge for program services such as applying for benefits or replacing a Social Security card. With regard to FOIA requests to support genealogical research, the Social Security Administration is allowed to charge fees based on the costs of providing information. I agree with you that increasing the fee to locate and copy an application for a Social Security card from $7 to $27 is unreasonable. The Social Security Administration has not provided an adequate explanation for the large increases. The agency has claimed that the large increases are necessary because fees have not increased since 1988. However, labor and other costs at the Social Security Administration have not increased at such a rate as to justify these large increases in fees. I was appointed this year to the Senate Finance Committee which has jurisdiction over Social Security. I will work in the Senate to bring about a reasonable fee schedule so that genealogists can continue their important work. Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. If I can be of assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to let me know. Sincerely, Blanche L. Lincoln" As you can see, it was the same old gov't response,etc.,etc.,etc... I WILL BELIEVE WHEN I SEE . Dawn Dykes Petz, ccddpetz@ipa.net

Amen! I don't much care for being stigmatized in this way either. On the other hand, I feel that $27 is a bit steep for some fellow genealogists to pay. SO, since genealogists are some of the most giving and generous people around - we'll circumvent this problem! --- Art Morgan <artmorg@wt.net> wrote: > It seems to me that it would have been much more to the > point to ask Mr. > Thompson to give us an honest and straight forward > explanation for why his > department found it necessary to raise the fees for these > services.

The Rootsweb Review (monthly newsletter) had an article on this about four months ago...In June, I sent out an appeal to this list and six others for letters to Congress; even gave the addresses. Apparently no one paid any attention...We needed a firestorm of letters and e-mail, maybe 200,000 but now I fear it may be too late... No one acts UNLESS THEY are being hurt...Funny, some folks get all excited over some Chain-letter or Virus-Hoax, but cannot compose a simple e-mail of Protest to their Congressman and Senators... It is nice to post what you have to the SSDI and wherever else, but very few people want the same SS-5 forms, only the direct descendants since the 1930's when SSA was enacted.

I agree, IT SURE MUST BE NICE TO BE "RICH" but I still say to bypass the government and "WE THE PEOPLE" help one another on this SSDI thing. Bobby
