First off, y'all are responding to a board post made by someone who isn't on the list..... Second, the post has been removed by RW staff: the person crossposted to a heckuva lot of boards, and it's essentially an ad: they want paid for the information. I'd write it off as spam, and ignore it. Freedom of Information Act covers recent stuff---this is getting access to a person's FBI files and such---not really a major genealogical project. --pig, admin

Is there some reason this can't be posted here for everyone to use? I think everyone would like to look it over in a secure environment and in the future if you are not available, it will still be here for all to learn from. Also, you would only have to post it once. So, you will save time too. If there is a large amount of information, you could post a little at a time. Thanks, Raymonda

i also would like to know how to do this. thanks carlene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Betty Jamison" <bettylouis@socket.net> To: <MOGREENE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 7:55 AM Subject: Re: [MOGreene] FOIA Records Assistance > I would like to know how to do this. > Thanks, > Betty > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Sam West" <sam@theriver.com> > To: <MOGREENE-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Friday, November 15, 2002 12:01 AM > Subject: Re: [MOGreene] FOIA Records Assistance > > > > I would like to know more also. > > > > Thanks, Sam > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Olson Family" <ecrr.olson@cox.net> > > To: <MOGREENE-L@rootsweb.com> > > Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 2:16 PM > > Subject: Re: [MOGreene] FOIA Records Assistance > > > > > > > Kathy, > > > > > > I would like to know more! > > > > > > Thanks, > > > Cindy > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > > From: <genealogyprincess2000@yahoo.com> > > > To: <MOGREENE-L@rootsweb.com> > > > Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 2:59 PM > > > Subject: [MOGreene] FOIA Records Assistance > > > > > > > > > > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > > > > > > > Classification: Query > > > > > > > > Message Board URL: > > > > > > > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IKB.2ACE/1787 > > > > > > > > Message Board Post: > > > > > > > > Dear fellow researchers: First, this is not spam or advertising, > > > honest, I will give you my home telephone number if you want to contact > > me. > > > I am a genealogist just like you are.

Hello, My name is Anne and I would be very interested in this info. Thank you, Anne Treadway MIMIANNE49@AOL.COM

Kathy, I would like to know more! Thanks, Cindy ----- Original Message ----- From: <genealogyprincess2000@yahoo.com> To: <MOGREENE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 2:59 PM Subject: [MOGreene] FOIA Records Assistance > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IKB.2ACE/1787 > > Message Board Post: > > Dear fellow researchers: First, this is not spam or advertising, honest, I will give you my home telephone number if you want to contact me. I am a genealogist just like you are. I have just figured out a way to get records that you can do from home that actually will get you somewhere! In my every day professional work I use the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) to acquire records from all areas. While you cannot just send in a generic "find this" request, using the proper request the proper forms and properly worded legal letter you will result in the getting documentation you are seeking. You have to send some starting info for them to search for, but I received 84 pages the first time and two weeks later received an additional 124 pages of documentation. These records went back to 1838. It was a godsend! I will spell this out exactly to anyone who wishes direction and send you the form, the request letter, what you need to send them in terms of specifics, if! > you have them, or if not, where and how to find them. This is what the Freedom of Information Act is for! But you have to know how and where to use it. The FOIA is available for use in any state for any public record. It does not, not replace the researcher, but for those of us who have been unable to physically get to an out of town location or to contact an active researcher it's great. As a result of my request I have my gggrandfather's entire household inventory down to every single knife and fork, I have his entire office contents down to the list of law books and furniture he owned, I have the guardianship papers for all of my ggrand uncles and aunts, I have a (long) list of people that owed him money for mortgages he held and how much, when they were due - it was like a treasure chest. I know how much he paid for a loaf of bread, how much of an allowance the Estate had my gggrandmother on for the next 5 years! And all because I knew how to ask the right way. Ag! > ain, this is just one tool. I am preparing a "package" to email those who are interested. My email is genealogyprincess2000@yahoo.com. The response has been rather large, it's going to take me a few days, possible until the weekend. I will be glad to help anyone with any additional information or reformatting the forms for other states, other data requests, etc. This is just taking me a LOT of time. I will email all the details with the forms, etc. In the meantime, start searching for as many specifics as you can get. This is not "send me the death certificate of...." This is "I searched the probate database for (county) and found that my ggrandfather's estate is in your records. It is between the years XXXX and XXXX." Then there is more legal lingo, etc. etc..

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IKB.2ACE/1787 Message Board Post: Dear fellow researchers: First, this is not spam or advertising, honest, I will give you my home telephone number if you want to contact me. I am a genealogist just like you are. I have just figured out a way to get records that you can do from home that actually will get you somewhere! In my every day professional work I use the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) to acquire records from all areas. While you cannot just send in a generic "find this" request, using the proper request the proper forms and properly worded legal letter you will result in the getting documentation you are seeking. You have to send some starting info for them to search for, but I received 84 pages the first time and two weeks later received an additional 124 pages of documentation. These records went back to 1838. It was a godsend! I will spell this out exactly to anyone who wishes direction and send you the form, the request letter, what you need to send them in terms of specifics, if! you have them, or if not, where and how to find them. This is what the Freedom of Information Act is for! But you have to know how and where to use it. The FOIA is available for use in any state for any public record. It does not, not replace the researcher, but for those of us who have been unable to physically get to an out of town location or to contact an active researcher it's great. As a result of my request I have my gggrandfather's entire household inventory down to every single knife and fork, I have his entire office contents down to the list of law books and furniture he owned, I have the guardianship papers for all of my ggrand uncles and aunts, I have a (long) list of people that owed him money for mortgages he held and how much, when they were due - it was like a treasure chest. I know how much he paid for a loaf of bread, how much of an allowance the Estate had my gggrandmother on for the next 5 years! And all because I knew how to ask the right way. Ag! ain, this is just one tool. I am preparing a "package" to email those who are interested. My email is genealogyprincess2000@yahoo.com. The response has been rather large, it's going to take me a few days, possible until the weekend. I will be glad to help anyone with any additional information or reformatting the forms for other states, other data requests, etc. This is just taking me a LOT of time. I will email all the details with the forms, etc. In the meantime, start searching for as many specifics as you can get. This is not "send me the death certificate of...." This is "I searched the probate database for (county) and found that my ggrandfather's estate is in your records. It is between the years XXXX and XXXX." Then there is more legal lingo, etc. etc.. Anyway, I am sorry this post is so long, I will be sending this out to all interested sometime this week or weekend. Also, please advise anyone else you think may be interested in this information in o! ther lists. Thanks! Kathy

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IKB.2ACE/1786 Message Board Post: My grandfather was Carl Oscar Johnson, born December 4, 1869, in Jonko Ping, Sweden. His Father and mother were John and Maialema Johnson. Grandpa Carl Oscar Johnson came to the United States sometime after 1869 and lived in Springfield, Missouri. I don't know when he came to Springfield, but he moved to Memphis, Tennessee around 1895. He married Nellie Fransioli and lived in Memphis until his death on February 20, 1930. He had one brother and six sisters who also lived in the United States. His sister Josie Johnson Bingham lived in Springfield, MO in 1930 but for how long I do not know. His sister Ada Johnson Lawson lived in West Plains, MO in 1930 but for how long I do not know. His brother and other sisters lived outside of Missouri. I would like to find out when my grandfather came to Springfield, Mo. Where he lived and or was employed. When he was naturalized. Whether his parents, John and Maialema Johnson resided in Springfield. And if his sister Josie Johnson Bingham has descendants. Thank you for any help you can give. Chuck Johnson

FRANK HINES, who d. 1914. She may have married a Parsons after that, but at some point she married a THOMPSON of SPRINGFIELD, GREENE CO., MO. There was a WILLIAM E. THOMPSON, age 72, in the 1930 GREENE CO. MO census with wife MARTHA E., age 59. These are the only clues I have on that marriage and flimsy ones at that. Can anyone offer anything a bit more concrete--or at least set me straight on mistaken thinking?. Elinore
