Greetings All! I hope you all have a most Blessed Holiday Season, remembering to "HUG" those around you, as I am sure they will appreciate it. Even though I am still physically healing from the latest surgical go round and now also caring for hubby who just went through waaaay worse back surgery than I had last year and he is NOT the type to stay still and make web pages for 3-4 months <g> so constantly chasing him to get him to lay low. Now that is like the ot calling the kettle black <g> He was ALWAYS on my case about behaving last year <g> By the way, while I can still get mail at my old addy, it will be changing shortly, so if you could check anywhere you have a link to me changed I would certainly appreciate it! [email protected] will be leaving and the new addy is [email protected] Also probably within the next few months the MARDOS Memorial Library will be totally moved to its new url: www.MemorialLibrary.com The site is functional and links back to the original site, but look for lots more to come in the future, that is if I can crack the whip on my transcribers <g> The two new books and their descriptions are listed and linked below! Enjoy~ Pam http://www.LivGenMI.com Home of the 1895 atlas http://www.LivGenMI.com/1895 & many more historical maps & books for the U.S. in the Memorial On-Line Library http://www.LivGenMI.com/memoriallibrary.htm http://www.ChaseNEgw.com Home of the 1891 Shippers Dispatch Gazetteer http://www.ShepherdsVoice.org Home of Shepherd of the Lakes Lutheran Church Brighton MI.

Pam - List Lady [email protected] Two of the best transcribers for the MARDOS Memorial Library have completed yet more projects to help in your reseach. The first is from Ted & Carole Miller for Nebraska: Nebraska Blue Book, 1920 http://www.rootsweb.com/~neresour/OLLibrary/Blue_Book/1920/index.htm Slowest book ever reproduced! Poor quality paper (creased during printing) and less that perfect ink - "bled through" and blotched. But the "basics" are most worthwhile. List of state and county officials, mini-bios and portraits. List of all current & prior elected state officials - in alpha order (a vast improvement over the annual lists in one of the other history books!) Abbreviated history for state, and history of military in NE. Old state constitution, with revisions in bold face. List of postoffices in 1920 - including those about to be closed, with the post-master/mistress named. Assorted statistics... The index is general (NOT everyname), and we haven't done an index to the portraits yet .... Happy Holidays. Ted & Carole Miller Mother Hen, our own Connie Snyder has finished this great one for KANSAS: >From the Preface to "History of The 353rd Infantry Regiment, 89th Division, National Army". Published By The 353rd Infantry Society in 1921: "This history is dedicated to the men on the honor roll of the 353rd Infantry. Its purpose is to put into concrete and abiding record the service of the entire regiment, which required of these men on the honor roll the supreme sacrifice. Space allows for a general presentation of experience only. Those who were "there" will recall similar incidents for their own home circles." You will find the complete history of the 353rd Regiment, 89th Division on their service during World War I. It's one of the more interesting books that I've done, since it taught me so much about WWI and what the men went through at that time. This book contains a complete roster of the division, with lots of names with their home towns.
