Thanks, Kathleen, for bringing this to our attention. I used it on the "off chance" of finding some of my Chase ancestors, and found a new mystery re my great grandparents-- The Joseph Chase (born in New York) I had searched for is apparently Charles Ervin Chase, born in Joplin, Jasper County, MO abt 1850. His wife, Rose Skinner, was NOT born in Pennsylvania but also in Joplin, abt 1854. My, my, that means I need to join ANOTHER county list!

Letha Marie Mowry Thank you so very very much for this information. Beckie and Mark Freeman

Could you please see if there is any information in regard to Wallaces in the Gone Home book. I am looking for information on the parents of Martha Ann Wallace Cooper Noland. Martha was married to Cooper and was left with 4 children. She then married a John I Noland, and had one child, Fred M Noland. She died a short time after his birth, and I have not been able to find any information in regard to her or her family. Any information would be appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Letha Marie Mowry" <lmmowry@classicnet.net> To: <MOHOLT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 20, 2002 3:52 PM Subject: Re: [MOHOLT] Freeman-Jackson Family > Gone Home Volume I shows on page 132: > Freeman, Benjamin Franklin 18 Mar 1880-14 Feb 1961 Grants Pass OR; son of > Samuel & Mary Freeman > > Freeman, Samuel F born Franklin County VA 30 Apr 1830 died 9 Apr 1899 buried > Old Mound City Cemetery (Mound City MO) > Mary A BASSINGER 25 Oct 1847-9 Apr 1923 Buried Old Mound City Cemetery > She married (1) William P Coonce who died 1872 (2) Samuel F Freeman (3) > Dick Jackson > > Page 195 shows: > Jackson, George Albert "Dick" 7 Sep 1863 Sumner KS-6 Aug 1944 Buried Old > Mound City MO > Son of Robert A & Nancy COX Jackson.

This is a follow-up to my recent post about needed access to Vital Records. The problem is not that the vital records cannot be accessed; they can. For a fee, the staff at the Department of Health will search for a record. If they find it, they will send a copy. Too often the response is that they found no record. I sought birth and death data re my aunt, who died before her brother, my father, was born. He told me that her given name was Mildred. I sent my money for searches and was advised that no records were found. I found her baptismal record by a different given name. It happens that the relevant records in this case were not held by the Mo. Dept. of Health, and I was able to review the hand-written birth and death records. I found her birth record by a third given name, but, by the time she died, she was indeed Mildred. A staff simply cannot locate a record under such circumstances. A researcher can, but depends on access to the data. My grandmother's maiden name was very difficult to spell. I knew the ship and arrival date of her aunt (same surname). It took me three times thru a transcription of the ship list to recognize her thoroughly-butchered name. Of course, I could not find her name in the index. I never did find her sister who was with her. My name is Doerr; in an old list, it is spelled 'Ter'. Only by searching the original records, or microforms thereof, can one find the needed data in such cases. (I guess I now have an idea as to how my ancestors pronounced our name.) The researcher has patience and incentive to find the data; any staff must depend on their imperfect indexes and the Health Department has incentive to send a 'no find' letter.

Records at risk A number of kinds of records that are of value for family historians are often at risk because only the originals exist. Thus, they are at risk of discard as old and value-less, or of fire, storm, mold, age-related deterioration or vandalism. These include mainly school records (teachers daily records that show the names of the pupils, often their parents or guardians), bible records, sexton's records, mortuary records and church records. You may know of others. Some business records are also valuable, if only indirectly. (Fortunately, in Missouri, most courthouse records have been microfilmed, but it pays to check with the officials to be sure.) There are several ways to reduce the risk of loss of these records. These include photocopying, microfilming (with the negatives stored safely, at the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City or at the State Archives), photography, copying to CD or DVD, and publication in a well-distributed and well-indexed organ. By well-indexed, I mean both name-indexed within the organ and, for periodicals, indexed in Periodical Source Index (PERSI). For the present, a procedure of both publication and filming on silver (not color) film provides the most security. That way, both an image of the original and an indexed transcription is preserved. Digital recording media change so often that the records may become unavailable when the system for reading the media become obsolete and are discarded. This is to urge all those interested in family history to search for such records and to see to the protection of all those found. If you cannot make the rounds of your local courthouses and historical societies and museums, please call around, and use mail or e-mail. Judgment is needed as to where to publish. Church, school, sexton's and mortuary records are best published in a local magazine if it is indexed in PERSI. Bible records, which, by the way, do not lend themselves to microfilming, are best published in a magazine that covers the area in which the family lived, or in a magazine of regional or state-wide coverage if the family extends beyond, say, a county. I offer publication of good transcriptions in the Missouri State Genealogical Association Journal. The Journal is widely distributed, has a good annual index, and is indexed in PERSI. I can work from good photocopies or scans of the originals. There is, of course, no charge for publishing in the Journal, and submitters receive a copy of each issue in which their work appears. If a record collection is too large for publication in the Journal, I can probably help arrange for publication in book form. Bob Doerr, Editor, Missouri State Genealogical Association Journal Please see http://www.rollanet.org/~bdoerr/state.htm

Access to Records In 1910, the State of Missouri assumed the responsibility for keeping vital records. The records were kept confidential, as was proper, at least for birth records. However, some of the records are now 90 years old; it is time to place microfilms of all the birth records, with indexes, that are older than 72 years, and all of the death and other records, into the State Archives for full public access. Efforts have been made in the legislature, but the Department of Health obfuscates. The Department proposes to place on line images of the birth records 90 years or older and death records 50 years or older. That will be fine, but it is not enough. This is to urge that, during this political season, your candidates for the legislature and state senate be queried as to their positions on the matter. Owing to the Federal regulation that census data remain closed for 72 years, that interval has become a de facto standard in the USA. A 72-year interval suffices for privacy. All that is needed is to add to Sect. 193.245 of RSMO 1994 new sub-paragraphs as follows: (4) The department shall enable the State Archives to duplicate, for public access, microfilms of the following: a) all birth records that are 72 years old or older, and indexes to such records, and b) all other vital records and indexes. (5) The department shall enable, annually, the State Archives to duplicate microfilms of the following: a) all birth records that have become 72 years old or older, and indexes to such records, and b) all other vital records and indexes.

Searching for info on Franklin Layden McNulty, born 27 September 1915 in Missouri. On California death index, his mother's maiden name is Cozad. By coordinating 1920 census index entries for McNulty and Cozad, I isolated a couple of counties where both names are common, and found the following family in Holt County: McNulty, Charles Head (family lives on a farm) Male White 42 Married born MO father born OH mother born MO Emma Wife Female White 33 Married born MO father born IL mother born MI Dale Son Male White 10 Single born MO parents born MO Glen Son Male White 7 Single born MO parents born MO Carroll Son Male White 6 Single born MO parents born MO Franklin Son Male White 4 3/12 Single born MO parents born MO Kent Son Male White 2 2/12 Single born MO parents born MO ------------------------------------ Since Franklin's age is exactly right when calculated from his death certificate and he used the name Carroll as a middle name for his son, it appears that I've found the right family. Does anyone know whether Emma, the wife and mother, was nee Cozad? Franklin had 3 known children, Ila, Cheryl and Dennis, born in Santa Clara County, California, with his wife Anita Ansel, whom he probably married about 1943. They divorced before 1951. Did he have other wives before 1943 or after 1951? Other children? Lila

Dear List Members, With so many of you changing e-mail address I figured it was time to send instructions as to how to remove yourself from one address and then subscribe again with the new one. I have over 50 messages asking me to do this for members. If you know in advance that your e-mail address is going to change go to Password Central http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ ask for a list of all the Mailing Lists you are subscribed to. Don't forget to submit your request at the bottom of the page. When you get your e-mail in about 1 minute you need to print it out so you know what lists you belonged to so you can re-subscribe. From the e-mail you can unsubscribe yourself from any or all of the mailing lists. or Just send the word UNSUBSCRIBE to NAMEOFLIST-L-@ROOTSWEB.COM (Change NAMEOFLIST to the name of the list and change L to D if you are on the Digest List) When you are ready to re-subscribe all you need to do is send the word SUBSCRIBE to NAMEOFLIST-L-@ROOTSWEB.COM (Change NAMEOFLIST to the name of the list and change L to D if you want to subscribe to the Digest List.) If you loose your e-mail address and are unable to unsubscribe yourself, then let me know and I will help. You can re-subscribe yourself to the list with the above instructions. I appreciate your help and thank each of you for helping to make our list the success it is.

I will check into this and find out. I know my grandma lived in Nodaway, Mo. and I think one of her brothers lived there too. My Aunt Annabell still lives there.

I didn't know Leonard's parents. He was known as "Slim". A quick check of the 1920 census shows three Otto Moser families in St. Louis but the wives are not Rosa. Gene
