At that point he stayed with Mary Wattson until he finished high school in Potts Camp.

My Dad is still alive and lives in Gulfport, Ms. If you think he can help with information, please email me and I can get you in contact him.

I received this message clarifying the misunderstanding regarding viewing family trees and Ancestry.com's subscription service: What is being SOLD is a subscription to an advanced search feature that will match data from the free (still free) family trees and that found in other pay databases and census records at Ancestry and present it to the subscriber in a neatly stitched together package -- taking the work out of the searching and matching. What is being SOLD is CONVENIENCE and not the trees. The trees are still free to submit and free to search and match using the same tools that have always been part of the program. Nothing has changed in that regard.

Michelle & All, RootsWeb provided the following response to a MS county coordinator. Please note that the family trees will remain "free" for viewing. Please read below: ************************************ A response to your Help Desk message, "One World Tree," of Mon, 3 May 2004, at 11:15 a.m. follows: ------------------------- Trees uploaded to either side (RW/Ancestry) are visible from both sides. Ancestry is *not* charging for access or selling trees: access will remain free from both the RootsWeb and Ancestry side as it has always been. What Ancestry is offering for an extra charge is access to a special search engine to search the trees for you. Folks can still search the trees manually or browse the trees for free the same way they always have. Think of it like a research assistant: you can hire someone to help you look for your ancestors, or you can research yourself for free. That's essentially what it is, except that it's computerized, not human. > Will the family trees at World Connect be included in the One World > Tree Project? -----Original Message----- From: MICHELLE BARDIN [mailto:mbardin1@msn.com] Sent: Monday, May 03, 2004 4:33 PM To: MSMARSHA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: RE: [MSMARSHA-L] Important, Please Read Regarding Ancestry.com Changes Hi Deb, I want to make sure I am clear.

Thanks to David Crosby we now have forms for submitting your records to the Mississippi Archives.These forms will make it so much easier for contributors to share their records with the MS Archives. They type in the information, click on submit and the .txt file is instantly formatted, created and mailed to the rootsweb directory and available to the rootsweb search engines at http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/newsearch.htm within 48 hours. Most of these forms, with the exception of just a few, will allow the user, or the file managers to copy/paste the data into the forms. For anyone who has had a nightmare of reformatting a word document into ascii text file, you'll love this feature!! This database can be set to send a copy of files submitted to any of the county mailing lists (providing the list admin will put the forms on accept or give a subscriber email address). These forms have been used for almost 2 years in Alabama and Georgia and the results have been that contributors love them. It takes any guesswork out of their hands, the files are formatted with all pertinent information and submitted within the USGenWeb Archives policies. They can get immediate response by choosing to send a copy back to themselves and because of the "ease" of submitting through these forms the amount of sharing has at the very least doubled.. I hope you'll all be as excited as I am in having this new feature for the MSArchives and add a link to these forms on your pages. There are two servers so that if for any reason one is not working the other will work as a back up. These are at http://www.genrecords.org/msfiles and http://www.genrecords.net/msfiles/ I hope you'll all join me in welcoming this new addition for MSArchives and promote this new and efficient way of helping to get genealogical records online. If anyone has any questions about these forms they can send them to Debra Crosby at debra@genrecords.org or David Crosby (creator) at david@genrecords.org Ann Allen Geoghegan USGenWeb Archives - Mississippi Project Coordinator
