Lanita, Today I received the Justice and Sconce Family books which you so kindly donated to the Randolph County Library (genealogy room) It was evident that many dedicated hours of work went into the making of the books and I can assure you that they will certainly be a wonderful asset to anyone researching those families lines. The many pictures which you included, as well as the personal notes, are a few of the special features that will surely be appreciated. They almost seemed to bring life to that book!! Thanks Lanita, for a job well done!! Betty Tucker Pocahontas, Arkansas --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software

Mr. Goodman has put on his site, and chance for everyone to report their courthouse experiences. I found this helpful in that it told me where NOT to drive the distance, as well as where a better place would be to go, in the same area. Please go to: Go to http://www.bcpl.net/~dmg/Links.htm and click on the "Courthouse Experiences" button. Be sure to add your experiences too!!

Tricia, Forgot to give you the web address for the listing of Oregon County newspapers: http://www.oregoncountyhistory.net/resources/resourcesmooregon.php These are the ones available on microfilm from the Missouri State Archives, but I think you'll find the information you need. Nancy

Try the website, under "Resources" for Oregon County. The dates and titles covering those dates should be there for all the newspapers. tricia demoss wrote: > > Does anyone know the name of the newspaper that would have served Alton, > Mo. in 1895?

Maybe the locals have more info on this, but was the newspaper the SOUTH MISSOURI DEMOCRAT?... or was it later? Lanita I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the JUNE flower.

Does anyone know the name of the newspaper that would have served Alton, Mo. in 1895?

Our thanks to Claudia J.Williams for sharing this info that was sent to her! Interesting Site:::: Searchable ********** Chief Justice Stephen Limbaugh Jr. & Sec. of State Matt Blunt announced Tuesday that a database of some of Missouri's earlies legal cases now is available for browning on Blunt's Web site (http://www.sos.state.mo.us/). The site allows academics, family historians and the generally curious to trace court cases by searching for a person's name, the year a case occurred or the general subjects at issue. A search produces a brief summary -- often no longer than one sentence or phrase. And it directs searchers to the exact location where the actual court papers -- containing the rest of the details -- are kept at the Missouri State Archives in Jefferson City. "It's really going to place (Missouri's legal history) right at the punch of a button..." Blunt said. ******************* Hope this helps, Lanita Sconce Miller Any family tree produces some lemons, some nuts and a few bad apples.

I have been trying to locate Kathy Davis for some time. Does anyone know what has happened to her, or how I can reach her? Every attempt has been retirned to me. Gena Gates Lally

Hi, I'm trying to contact Bonnie Johnson---I know she is on this list quite a bit. Wanted to talk to her about Harrison Tyler Stringer family. Does anyone know her email address?

At the risk of sending this and it not being totally on topic, would appreciate your indulgence. Since many of you might be coming to the midwest for research, here is a list that was sent to me to help you out with our local ways [this is for a smile, and in no way meant to offend anyone!!]: TOURISTS IN THE MIDWEST Because of misunderstandings that frequently develop when Easterners and Californians cross through states in the midwest such as Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, etc., those states' Tourism Councils have adopted a set of information guidelines. In an effort to help outsiders understand the Midwest, the following list will be handed to each driver entering the state: (1) That farm boy standing next to the feed bin did more before breakfast than you do all week at the gym. (2) It's called a gravel road. No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Navigator. I have a 4-wheel drive because I need it. Drive it or get it out of the way. (3) We all started hunting and fishing when we were seven years old. Yeah, we saw Bambi. We got over it. (4) Any references to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get you whipped - by our women. (5) Go ahead and bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod. Just don't cry to us if a flathead catfish breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for those little trout you fish for - bait. (6) Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot. (7) If that cell phone rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time. (8) That's right. Whiskey is only two bucks. We can buy a fifth for what you paid in the airport for one drink. (9) No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the two pounds of ham and turkey. (10) You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. (11) So you have a $60,000 car you drive on weekends. We're real impressed. We have quarter of a million dollar combines that we use two weeks a year. (12) Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow. (13) Yeah, we eat catfish. Carp too, and turtle. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the bait shop. (14) They are pigs. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like it - Interstates 70, 80 and 90 go two ways; Interstate 29 and 35 go the other two. Pick one and use it accordingly. (15) So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Understand the concept? (16) That Highway Patrol Officer that just pulled you over for driving like an idiot - his name is "Sir" - no matter how old he is. Now enjoy your visit and go home. Lanita I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the JUNE flower.

Our thankss to Catherine Marx for sharing this info that was on another list. Please feel free to post anything genealogical in topic that others might need to know, at any time. You don't need our permission to share... GO FOR IT!!! We're all in this together. The Library of Congress' Serial & Government Publications Division is pleased to announce the release of a new addition to the National Digital Library - the online collection The Stars and Stripes: The American Soldiers' Newspaper of World War I, 1918-1919, available on the American Memory website at: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/sgphtml/sashtml/. At the direction of General John J. Pershing, The Stars and Stripes newspaper was published in France by the United States Army from February 8, 1918 to June 13, 1919. By early 1918, American forces were dispersed throughout the western front, often mixed at the unit level with British, French and Italian forces. The primary mission of The Stars and Stripes was to provide these scattered troops with a sense of unity and an understanding of their part in the overall war effort. The eight-page weekly featured news from home, poetry, cartoons and sports news, with a staff that included journalists Alexander Woollcott, Harold Wallace Ross and Grantland Rice. On borrowed printing presses, using a delivery network that combined trains, automobiles (including three Cadillacs) and one motorcycle, the staff produced a newspaper with a circulation that peaked at 526,000 copies. This new online collection presents the complete run - 71 weeks - of the World War I edition. The collection also includes special presentations that discuss the newspaper's content: its illustrations and advertising, its publication of soldiers' poetry, its coverage of women. Brief biographies of editorial staff members and their later careers hint at the level of journalistic talent within The Stars and Stripes. A timeline and map place the newspaper within the greater historical and geographical context of the war. The collection was processed with optical character recognition (OCR) software to allow users to search the full text of the newspaper for a word or phrase. This feature expands the collection's usefulness to historians and genealogists researching names and details that do not appear in the headlines. The Stars and Stripes collection served as a pilot project in the development of search and display capabilities to be utilized on future releases of historic newspapers.
