Below is an excerpt from another list regarding NARA service records. It has some interesting information in it that some of you may want to know about. -Ava Some time ago there was a discussion about military records. I live in St. Louis and last week dropped off a request at NARA for military records. The request is for a collateral relative so I do not know the branch of service during WWI, but can now assume it was probably the Army. I received the following email which might explain the delay some of you had obtaining records. "I talked to you today when you came into our facility requesting the service record for Edward Allen Salisbury. I was able to find a service number with the information you gave me. I ordered three records for the veteran. There will be a delay with two of the records. They were affected by the 1973 fire at our facility. These two records will go to our Preservation Lab for treatment. This process takes a couple of weeks, but sometimes could take up to 6 to 8 weeks. Once we get these treated records in the Archival Research Room, we will contact you via telephone to set up an appointment to view them. I am sorry for the delay" Also, you may be interested in the additional information provided: "They are in the process of building our new facilty north of I-270 off of Dunn Road. We anticipate moving into this facility May 2011. We will need to get all the records from our sites around St. Louis to the new facility. After that point, they will ship all of the Civil War draft records here from the regional facilities. I'm not sure when they plan on these shipments, but it would be sometime after that. The records are currently housed at the regional facilities, with records from a state at the corresponding regional facility that covers that state."

If you're considering the role of DNA in your genealogical research, you may find this interesting.

Dan, you pose several valid questions. The NGS (or other sponsoring entity) have exclusive rights to any presentations made under their auspices. We have no way of knowing what arrangements they have made with the speakers to disburse the proceeds from the recorded presentations. Most of the presentations made at the NGS and other conferences are presentations that the presenters make in other locations, for a fee, on a regular basis. This is how they make the bulk of their income, I am sure. The syllabus is provided as part of the fee you pay to attend. It is not free. From time to time, D-OGS speakers have provided us with handouts or other items of interest in conjunction with their appearance at our meetings. If I am the person who makes the initial contact for a speaker, I typically ask if they have handouts or other materials that we can share with the membership. If supplementary materials have been made available to us, we have posted them on the D-OGS website with the newsletters, et al. For instance, I have submitted slides I used for a program I gave last year. Most of these individuals are doing this for free. D-OGS does not regularly pay our speakers. We are very grateful that they share their time and expertise. The Helen Leary presentation is being sponsored by Wake County Gen Society. We are invited guests. If someone wishes to contact them about recording or simul-cast transmission, here is their website: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ncwcgs/index.htm. I do not feel comfortable doing that myself. - Richard danwdurham@aol.com wrote: > When Helen Leary, as well as other speakers, speak at the NGS convention each year, they are taped and the tapes are available for purchase.

I am also curious about whether or not restrictions exist that would prevent our society from purchasing some of the recorded NGS CDs and then making them available to our members on a borrowing system, similar to a library. As a member, I'd be happy to pay a small fee to borrow a CD. Each CD is sufficiently expensive that most people would think twice before purchasing one for their own use, but if the cost could be shared among numerous interested parties, it becomes much more attractive. It would be a great service to our members as well. Alternatively, could we set up a system whereby individual DOGS members might personally purchase one or two CDs of particular interest to them, then, after viewing them, donate them to a free "library" within DOGS? Accomplishes the same objective of allowing access to many of the talks without a large investment in CDs by any one person.

Richard, Is there any chance we could organize video tapes or online Skype for these events that some of us are so far a way we could still benefits from the wonderful opportunities? I Skype for free with my grand children. It only takes to computers with audio and video. I think there are even ways to capture the video and save it for future viewing. I don't know if there would be the assets or interest you might not be the one I should pose the question to. Could you bring it up at the next meeting to see if there is an interest for those of us out of state.

SOOO IMPRESSIVE!!! I DON'T WALK WELL ANYMORE OR WOULD BE THERE!! -----Original Message----- From: John Schelp <bwatu@yahoo.com> To: bwatu@yahoo.com Sent: Sun, Mar 7, 2010 3:31 pm Subject: [NCDOGS] --> Mark the date: Annual Neighborhoods Hike is Saturday, April 10th Neighborhoods Hike: East Campus, West Durham & beyond Saturday, April 10 at 9:00 AM Meet at Markham & Buchanan Was Duke Chapel really going to be built in Walltown? What Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist went to EK Powe school? What song writer for Nora Jones and Lou Rawls was "born on a kitchen table" behind Magnolia Grill? Why is Ninth Street called Ninth Street? Where did Madonna take early dance lessons? Come along and find out... 4-mile loop starts at Markham & Buchanan (at the old City limits). We'll start by walking past the homes of Duke's famous faculty and coaches on Buchanan, including the father of Duke basketball. We'll go down Watts Street, past Trinity Park park, and then walk across East Campus to Ninth Street. We'll stroll up Ninth, past EK Powe, and see the South Ellerbe Creek Nature Area. We'll walk through an old mill village, see some old liquor houses and a parsonage that was ordered from the Sears catalogue. We'll continue up Oakland, past Oval Park, and Indian Trail Park in the Watts-Hillandale neighborhood. We'll head east along the West Ellerbe Trail in the 17-acre wood, then walk past the old Watts Hospital and cross Club Blvd (near 9th Street). We'll go down a hidden alley, head over to Walltown and hear about Duke's original plans to build here. Then through Trinity Heights and back to where we began. You'll see a little nature and learn some Durham history along the way. We might even get into current events in the Bull City. Local history lover John Schelp will narrate along the way. You don't have to register. Parking is available on streets near Markham and Buchanan. Co-sponsored by the Sierra Club and Get Up & Go Durham. More info & old streetmap... http://www.owdna.org/selfguidedtourOWD.htm **** Hike unveils Duke, Durham lore Duke Chronicle, 2 April 2007 Rumor has it, Coach K gets his hair cut at an old Wesleyan church just off East Campus. "He goes there after hours," said John Schelp, who pointed out historical markers and facts Saturday morning on the third annual four-mile Urban Hike he leads around Durham. "I don't know if that's true or not, but it's the local lore." Schelp, president of the Old West Durham Neighborhood Association, showed Durham residents, Duke employees and members of other neighborhood associations little known locales around the city, including former President Richard Nixon's old house on Clarendon Street and the house where Elvis Presley is said to have undergone drug rehabilitation. "Each time he adds a little new twist to something," said Janet Hitti, a member of the Sierra Club in Durham. "He's Durham's national treasure." When the tour reached East Campus, Schelp led the group past the Ark, Duke's dance studio and the site of the first Trinity College basketball game. The Ark is made out of wood salvaged from the grandstand of a horse race track that once encircled East Campus, Schelp said. "Only two can walk in at a time going up the gangplank into the Ark, like Noah's Ark," he said, adding that Madonna-an American Dance Festival student in the '70s-lived in Gilbert-Addoms Residence Hall for a summer and took early dance lessons at the Ark. Schelp said Duke and Durham were very different in the past, when the neighborhood smelled like a laundromat because of soapy water from the dye ponds and smoke puffing from the cotton mills and when the main drive into East Campus once led to the Ann Roney Fountain behind what is now the East Duke Building. Among other things, Schelp added that Whole Foods on Broad Street used to be part of the field where mill workers played baseball and that the gap in the East Campus wall-now planted with cypress trees-was once a ticket counter that kept people from watching football games without paying. "They built Duke Hospital on top of Durham's boneyard," he said, adding that this change is an example of how different the University used to be. On Ninth Street, Schelp spoke about former local businesses like Durham's first Kentucky Fried Chicken, now an art studio. "Colonel Sanders liked to go stand next to [his life-size fiberglass statue] and take the same pose," he said. "Customers would come into the shop and he would move, and the customers would jump." Schelp also took the hikers past a house from the days of Prohibition -- which he said still smells like liquor when it rains -- and the house on Knox Street where an assistant professor at Duke once kept 65 exotic snakes. [The house that burned down, releasing snakes into the neighborhood.] Other historical places discussed on the tour included a cemetery where poor black and white Durham residents were buried side by side, the stone wall that surrounds East Campus and a corner close to campus where Schelp said drug deals were being made daily seven years ago. Schelp added that the rich history of west Durham was a result of the open relationship between the city and the University. "Everything has connections," he said. "The more Duke students learn about these connections, the more they appreciate Durham." Even though some of the hikers have spent their whole lives in Durham, many said they have still not gotten to learn about all of the area's history. "I learned more today than I have in the last sixty-four years," said Freddie Cable, who grew up in Durham and currently lives in the city. Susan Wilkins, whose grandparents opened Bullocks Bar-B-Que in Durham, and Peggy Schaeffer, who has lived in Durham 27 years, said they enjoyed the informative nature of the hike. "These little details make everyday life more interesting," Schaeffer said. "It opens your eyes." **** ************************* Visit the D-OGS web site: http://www.ncgenweb.us/dogsnc/ To Unsubscribe: As a member you are automatically subscribed and remain subscribed.
