List Readers: Here is a sample of how the obit file will work and what it looks like when posted. Ruth Burch just posted an obit in our new obit submit file and here below is the link for what she posted. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits/a/alexander.bonnie.htm Here is the submit file link. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits/subobit.htm I can't believe how easy this was to post. Thanks, Ruth, for being the first and for giving it a test run. Donna Cooper

List Readers: I have the obit submission file on the web and ready for you to use. I think that this will be easier for both you to use than the old way we were doing them. I hope that you like it and that you will take advantage of using it and the new death certificate submission file, too. Obits - Please abstract your obits if they are recent or if they have living individuals included. Recent obits will be copyrighted, so it is, by all means, a good idea to abstract them so that we stay in good graces with the newspapers and also so that we do not violate the copyright laws. I know that some of you think that you own the obit because someone in your family is mentioned, but that is not the way it works. Please understand unless you paid for the obit - you don't own the copyright on it. Please do not post them on the list mailing or mail them in an open message to my e-mail box. If for some reason that you have to mail the abstract copy to me, place the typed copy in Note Pad or Word. No hard copies are going to be accepted. Submit obits here at this link. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits/subobit.htm In case you want to read the guidelines, they are posted in several places - here below is one place. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits.htm Obits that violate someone's rights or the copyright laws will be deleted. Death Certificates - At the present time I am not accepting hard copies of death certificates, because I have a big backlog of them on hands. I hope someday that I can get those on the web and we can accept some more of those. But at the present time the abstract copies will be easier to post. These new abstracts will be copied and pasted to the obit folders - and so you will have both the obit and abstract of the death certificate all on one page. You should benefit from these new features because you will be able to print those out and use them in your notebooks. I think that this new features will help you in your research work. Here is the new death certificate submission file link below. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/subdeathcer.htm Have a good day! Donna Cooper

List Readers: Sue Hutton shared a wonderful old photo with us for our featured photo page. It is of the Mano store and really a great one. I have some information posted, that she also shared with us, on the featured page. Sammy Gilmore built the store and the photo was taken around 1926 or 1927. Sammy was a postmaster and a justice of the peace there as well as a store keeper. Some of Sue's relatives are in the photo but she would like to know who the other people are who are in the photo. So if you can help identify someone, please let us know. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm Thanks so much, Sue, for sharing this wonderful slice of Barry County history with us. We really appreciate it. Donna Cooper

Hi Everyone, I hope many of you will volunteer to help with the suggestion Donna just made. > If you want to volunteer to type up 15 or 20 of those and post them in the temp. folder - please don't be shy - just jump right in and get going.> I feel it would be great especially right now. Even if you haven't contributed much to the website before this could be our way of pitching in especially with Donna getting ready for surgery and still she is busy typing away. All of us I'm sure wish we could do more and this might just be the way to at least make us "think" we are helping. Just go to the site and besides doing the death certificate of your own relatives, start at the "A's" and pick out some names and fill out the new form.

List Readers: I have the 1926 Monett School Yearbook index listed that Linda Garrett did for us. This is really a big help, Linda. Now we can search the list for names we want to see and they will go in the indexing system of the web site, too. They should be searchable from the search engine by tomorrow morning sometime. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/schoolbook/1926-Monett/mon.1926.htm Our thanks to Bob Parsons who sent us a nice Parsons family photo - it is located in photo book 3 in part 2. Names connected are Hink, Meeker, Brown, Spain, Reese and Meeker and it was taken in 1919. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/photos/photo-3/parsons.fam.htm Bob Parsons also sent us a nice photo of a boy scout troop - Monett - Troop No. 1. This one is posted on the "Focus on Monett" page and it is so very neat. Notice the little boys in their knickers - or knee pants. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/Monett/boyscouts.htm Here is a sample of the way the new abstracts of the death certificate files will be posted in our files. Linda Garrett posted death certificate files for Clovie Abe Walden and for Bernice (Elgin) Walden and I posted them so that you could see them. Also Frances Albert sent us a test file, too, one for Louise (Jackson) Griffith. You can take a look at these submissions and get an idea what this will look like with the death certificate abstract added. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits/w/waldenClovie.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits/w/waldenBernice.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/data/obits/g/griffith.lou.htm Also, we have some new mail merge files up and working. I took the day yesterday to study those files and fix the ones that needed repairing and making a few new ones, too. It took me two years to figure out how to write the code for the text file - but I think I finally have it - put the 'how to do thing' in brain file no. 3 billion and 1. It will be easy now just to copy and paste the abstracts of the death certificate files to our files. Once we get them online - and looking like the samples above - then you should be able to print them out and clip them into your notebooks all on one sheet. I think we should add the death certificate number on them, too, so that folks can use that as a reference. If you want to volunteer to type up 15 or 20 of those and post them in the temp. folder - please don't be shy - just jump right in and get going. I am in the process of setting up an obit temporary file, too, so that you will be able to copy and paste them in a temporary file. Maybe by tomorrow I will have it working and online. If you want to add your own family's death certificates or type up a bunch for us here is the submit folder link. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/subdeathcer.htm Also we now have a new survey going. I removed the one we had for 2007 since it served it's purpose and we were able to see what researchers were doing then. So if you want to fill out a new one - I set up a new form for the 2008 survey. I think this helps us to see what you are using and what you find useful. It is up to you - but I would like to see you fill it out because you are the ones who know what is helping at the moment. I know without a doubt that the cemetery files and the newspapers are among your top research aids, but I think that a lot of you are using other files that we have on the web site, too. Our web site is growing. We have about 7500 pages as of now and we are getting between 250 and 300 vistors per day. Our counter is one that doesn't count you but once, so if you are the site everyday, you might be in that number counted. I know that it never counts me. That is a lot of new visitors per day. Two years ago when I came on board we were getting 50 to 60 a day. See what all your hard work has done for the research world of Barry County. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/survey.htm I worked over the new e-mail post submit form - let's see if this one works better than the old one. I think it will because it has boxes for your links http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/e-mail.htm We have one in the temporary folder - you might want to view it and see what they will look like when you post them. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/e-mailtemp.htm We have the Family Group Sheet Form back up and working. My personal opionion about group sheets is that using other people's research is a dangerous habit to get into. And from personal experience I know that family group sheets are filled with error. So I am not really in favor of having them on the site, but I know that some people still like them so we do still have them. I would rather see our web site filled with cemetery photos, school photos, death certificates, obits and family photos as research tools When Roots changed servers last spring they messed up our Query and Family Group sheet submit forms, I think, by loading them back in a format that wasn't compatible somehow to what we had. Yesterday I took down the old ones and made some new submit and wrote new text files to make them work. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/fgs/subfgs.htm I really think that the query section has lost its effectiveness and that we have evolved into genealogy past this sort of research here in our county. Now with all the records we have online, it seems that researchers are leaning more on finding the actual record rather than finding people who might have some sort of records. The new "Query Submit Form" link is here. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/queries/submitquery.htm I added a couple of things to our "cemetery submit form" and here is the link for that. I think this will work better than the one we were using. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/subcem.htm Please be sure and review the correct way to post dates and counties that I have posted on the death certificate and cemetery submit forms. I can copy and paste and not have to retype data if it is posted with correct punctuation and spelled correctly. I updated the search feature for our mailing list by adding 2008 in the search circle for you. I tested this and it seems to be working okay. http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/searchbase.htm I still have several other new things in my mail box so I will try and load some more tomorrow. Thanks to Linda Garrett for her help with the indexing, typing and for the time she spent in testing the new forms for me. Also thanks to Frances Albert for her help with testing the new forms and for her test submission in the new death certificate submit file. And a big nice warm thanks to Bob Parsons for the neat old photos. Have a good evening! Donna Cooper

List Readers: Some days things go better than others. Today, I think they are going good because I have a submit form on the web for you to use for your death certificates. Let's give this a whirl and see how it works. Here is the link - http://www.rootsweb.com/~mobarry/cemetery/subdeathcer.htm Donna Cooper
