The Social Sciences (http://maps.duke.edu/?x=530&y=-351&z=2&w=1261&h=600&new.x=382&new.y=366) and Social Psychology (http://maps.duke.edu/?x=419.56&y=-321.67&z=3&w=921&h=600&new.x=475&new.y=26 8) buildings are next to each other on the academic quad near Duke Chapel. They would be a reasonable walk from the public parking garage at http://maps.duke.edu/parking/40. Alternatively, the free "East-West" campus bus could be taken from free parking available elsewhere on campus. The bus stops in front of Duke Chapel adjacent to the Allen Building--maybe a half minute walk from the Social Sciences Building.

That's the night of the D-OGS meeting, I suppose there would be time to do both, what do you think? I don't know where the building is, or where parking would be found either. Got to do my homework before then so I can decide. There is no conflict with the talk on Monday the 22nd though. I think both Ruth Stanton and Ginny may be interested in going too. Carol

Dick Eastman had an article about the 1960 Census in his newsletter today. Most folks don't know it, but the 1960 Census was processed on a mainframe computer at UNC-Chapel Hill. The computer was in the basement of Phillips Hall. Then-VP Dick Nixon came to inspect the processing while it was being done. - Richard GATTISFB@aol.com wrote: > All, > > One of my neighbors is second-in command for the census.

Here's a local opportunity to attend two important presentations: _http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2010/02/using-digital-techno logy-to-preserve-information.html_ (http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2010/02/using-digital-technology-to-preserve-information.html) Anyone want to join me?

All, One of my neighbors is second-in command for the census. I forwarded the Eastman article to him. See his comments below. Sounds like it is not a problem to me. Frank Gattis ............................ I am second-in-command for the Census. Pretty exciting right now as Census Day is April 1. Returned Census forms are shredded and recycled, but only after a full-color image is made. NARA will receive those images. That's what was done (though through lower-tech microfilm) for past decades. The article below seems to be about a contract for safely destroying confidential data from our HQ facility and does not actually have anything to do with 2010 Census data. We never destroy the last copy of such data, but for example the payroll data for employees (with their SSN) must be safely destroyed. Best, Dan In a message dated 02/18/10 9:51:28 P.M.

Hello, The information below might be of interest to some trying to find information about their African American ancestors. John and Margaret (Nelson) Hart were born, grew up and were married in 1836 in the Hillsboro, NC area. They left the area in September, 1837 and went to Clay Co., MO (Fishing River Twp.) Below is a ending portion of a letter they wrote in 1852 back to their Nelson and Paul relatives still living around Hillsboro, NC. J. N. is probably John Nelson, Mary Paul was a Nelson before marying a P. Paul. P. Nelson was Paisley Nelson. The only African American that I know they took with them to Missouri was Anne and the Barbary she asks about was her sister. The Harts had purchased Barbary and her baby from the Pauls I think, but maybe the Nelsons. However, the night before they were to leave for MO, Barbary ran off - there is an ad in the Hillsboro paper offering a reward for information about her whereabouts a few days later. Anne asked to go in her sister's place. Riffin might have gone to MO to with the Harts based on stories I was told (John and Margaret Hart were my gg grandparents), but I can't be sure. Don't know about the others. The African American population in Clay Co., MO during the late 1850's and early 1860's approached 25% of the total population. I don't have any information on the Harts, Nelsons or Pauls in Arkansas, so don't know who they are referring to there. I hope this helps someone. John Hart Miller In conclusion I have request all to write soon as I intend this for brothers and sisters Pauls and Nelsons, J. N., P. and Mary Paul, P. Nelson and Margaret. Our respect to all enquiring John and Margaret Hart. P.S. Four of our children are going to school and sometimes James M. makes the fifth. Brother Nelson we have not had a letter from you in three years nor from Brother Paul for 18 months. We have not had a letter from any of our brothers in Arkansas for near two years. Anne sends her love to all and wishes you to write where Barbary is living and ho many children she has. Anderson is living at home, George is hired 2 1/2 miles from home at 140 dollars per year. Riffin at the same place at $4.50 per month."

Although this cemetery is in Raleigh, part of current Wake County was originally in Old Orange County, and it may be that someone resting here may be of interest to you. Raleigh City Cemeteries Preservation, Inc., North Carolina _www.rccpreservation.org/Home/tabid/37/Default.aspx_ (http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102963697543&s=7364&e=001T-aDwYVb-neNAyuQ218rje1rKUVRUG_KN0VRF-e4T4k96Sw341Kj1L7aZWPz p1OxYBF1Xh3RojfySPT-XloFP0FncBRa5lNXBLPxrC_vxh-Zv2A7ZW9oXVIybJ0q5sZgVG_QYkxW HQ4-dUaga61imAaaf1LHzhfyYI4ssao21Tw=) Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina. It is located in Wake County in the center of the state. Raleigh City Cemeteries Preservation is a not-for-profit organization that promotes the preservation and restoration of the three city-owned cemeteries (City, Mt. Hope, and O’Rorke cemeteries), in partnership with the City of Raleigh and others. There are burial records databases on the website for two of the three cemeteries — City Cemetery and O’ Rorke Cemetery. Click on the Cemeteries button in the homepage contents list to access the individual cemetery pages. Established by the North Carolina General Assembly in 1798, City Cemetery is the oldest cemetery in Raleigh. As noted on the website, burials include founding fathers of Raleigh, legislators, free and slave African Americans and stonemasons from Scotland and England who helped build the state capitol building. There are approximately 2,000 records in the database. The information in the database was compiled from a number of sources. There is a GIS map for City Cemetery that allow researchers to search the cemetery online by name, date of birth, date of death, and grave marker location. The map includes both grave information and marker photos. Instructions on how to use this function are provided on the City Cemetery main page. Please be advised that the GIS map function does not work with the Safari browser. The link to the database file is at the bottom of the web page. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view the database, as it is in PDF format. The data fields in the database include surname, grave location information, birth date, death date, and other data. Information found in Other Data includes such information as spouse’s names, military service, approximate age at death, race of the deceased, and cause of death. O'Rorke Cemetery, sometimes called the Catholic Cemetery or Potter's Field, was established by John O'Rorke in 1858. There are about 300 records in the database. The information in the database was compiled from a number of sources. The data fields include name, birth date, death date, burial space information, and notes.

Carol, did anyone contact the Library to let them know that the meeting was canceled? - Richard ________________________________________ From: ncdogs-bounces@rootsweb.com [ncdogs-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of HubbellGen@aol.com [HubbellGen@aol.com] Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 7:03 PM To: ncdogs@rootsweb.com Subject: [NCDOGS] D-OGS Computer SIG Announcement I've looked at all the various weather predictions and am not confident that the roads for everyone will be clear in the morning for the CIG meeting, so I am going to cancel it now before it gets any later.

If we have a beautiful clear day tomorrow, blame it on me and just enjoy it. Or rather, spend the three and a half hours working on your genealogy - just don't tell anyone where you are.
