That way the author of the original message will be notified of your response and will be able to view it on the board. Additionally, your reply will be gatewayed to the Mailing List and you need not post a separate response there. However, there are some instances when it may not be convenient or possible for Mailing List users to post their responses on the Message Boards as described above. For example, if you have an e-mail only service and/or limited access to the Internet, and as a result read and compose e-mail for Mailing Lists while offline, then clicking on the URL link in the message is inconvenient or impossible. To reply to a gatewayed message under such circumstances, remember to include a private response to the author of the board message.

Hi Judy, Thanks for sending the exciting news!!!! I will forward your email to the other lists I'm on to let them know that the VA documents were saved!!! I appreciate all you did and glad to know that sometimes people can make a difference. These documents are part of many families history and the heritage of our country. Thank you, Dyane

Today is a day of great celebration! The constituency spoke and the Virginia General Assembly heard your voices.Your opinion counted; your letters and emails read and heeded. Democracy is alive and well in Virginia! There is much to be said about the power of united voices and this is an excellent example. This Bill if enacted allowed clerks at their discretion to destroy historic Wills and other pertinent historical records dated after 1/1/1913 once they had been microfilmed and retained in their files for 6 months to 10 yrs. Thanks to all of you who took the time to send e-mails and letters, our voices were heard and our future generations will be able to continue researching their ancestry. Judy Neu Springwater, NY.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Collins, Limes Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZNB.2ACI/975 Message Board Post: Would anybody have advice on possible ways to locate birth information in Ripley County (and Missouri) for Bessie Collins? Census records indicate she was born in Missouri in July of 1897. It is suspected that she was born in the Doniphan area. Missouri did not officially record birth dates until 1910. I have seen some Ripley County records earlier than 1910 but am wondering if there are more sources out there than I am aware of. Thanks, Jerry Limes [email protected]

Honorable Delegates of The Virginia General Assembly: It is my understanding that the Virginia Senate has voted to allow destruction of Wills and related papers once they are microfilmed, and that this is being done as a result of complaints by the Metro Clerks Association in the larger jurisdictions of northern Virginia in an effort to save filing and storage space. This legislation, if passed, will result in more space for your clerks and a total destruction of the primary certiification required in order to establish the authenticity of one's ancestry. Wills tell a history of family relationships, and many of them document the history and values of generations that are not covered in history books. In the great state of Virginia, the history of this country truly began with the early colonists. Four hundred years ago, my ancestors, the Bruces, Lakes, Riddles and Carpenters landed on Virginia soil and subsequently began building Churches, businesses, ships, schools and establishing commerce which enabled Virginia and other states to grow and become what they are today. Their Wills are filed in your archives and these documents tell us how our forefathers dealt with everyday issues as well as how progressive their thinking was on issues of women's rights, distribution of property, and their value of tangible and intangible assets. In my own family, I have discovered that long before an Amendment was passed giving women the right to own property, my forefathers thought enough of their brides to allow them to manage the land and holdings and make important decisions. As a genealogist, I have reviewed both microfilm and actual wills. Microfilm is only as good as the person operating the machinery--even in products offered for sale such as Census Records, Indices, etc., we find blank pages. In the case of Census Records, the actual documents still exist, and one is still able to obtain actual records; however, if the legislation before you is passed, our descendants will not enjoy the same recourse. As more and more people become involved in tracing their roots, I can tell you it is a powerful realization to handle a document that an ancestor eight or nine generations' ago drafted and signed. It is tangible proof that our past is very much as important as our future, and in many respects, our actions today are derived from the spirit of these noble, hardworking, selfless individuals who came to this country seeking a better life with very little knowledge of the hardships that the New World held for them. They were bold and adventurous, and because of them, we enjoy a democratic form of government, wonderful cities and fields ripe with the fruits of our labors. We live in a society that is finally beginning to understand the necessity for connecting with its roots. It is such a refreshing thing to read the genealogy websites and find that young people as well as older people are taking an interest in their respective history. Virginia is really the beginning of most of America's history and even though many of us are transplanted to other parts of this country or in foreign lands, our roots are deeply planted in Virgnia soil. My ancestors are buried in Virginia, their blood was shed for Virginia, and I feel very connected to them and their service. It is extraordinary that a government body would even consider destroying such valued documents, particularly when you have so many fine and capable resources available to you. Family History Centers, Historical Societies, and libraries seem like natural repositories for these documents. Microfilming them will allow you to retain copies for your files, but the actual documents which most of us require in order to prove and certify our ancestory would be in a safe place and available for those of us seeking specific historical and family information from them. It baffles me that the Virginia Archives in Richmond are unable to maintain control of the Wills, but if this is truly the case, please consider one of the suggested alternatives rather than burning them. I don't want my children and grandchildren to think of their ancestry as being disposable by an Act of the General Assembly. I want them to know and feel the emotional connection of their ancestors and what their ancestors through many, many generations did to ensure their continued presence on this fine earth.
