There is an interesting reference "to the world, as it was seen by people 1,000 years ago", as presented to THE WHITE HOUSE, released by Office of the Press Secretary, dated January 25, 1999, The East Room, 7:37 P.M. EST; Title: FIFTH MILLENNIUM EVENING AT THE WHITE HOUSE Remarks by the President, the First Lady, Professor Natalie Davis and Professor Martin Marty http://www.usia.gov/usa/2000/5milev.htm "Their life expectancy was short. Most of them could not expect to pass the age of 40, if that." . . . "So to get to my question, what is it, then, that -- or why should this culture, why should we focus on the past? Why is it important, or is it, indeed, important, for us to go back to the past and recognize the accomplishments of people who have done these things in the past?" . . . "PROFESSOR DAVIS: Professor Cruz, thank you for your question and your description of the many features of our 20th century life that develop -- some going back to the year 1000 and some to the year 1500. I think there are several reasons to study -- to be interested in the past, in addition to what it's contributed to us. One is partly the fascination of in human life, of different ways the people have lived, including ways that might not contribute to us." . . . SEE ALSO: 60:20512 Benedictow, Ole J. The medieval demographic system of the Nordic countries. ISBN 82-91114-01-3. 1993. 229 pp. Middelalderforlaget: Oslo, Norway. In Eng. This is a general study of the demographics of the Nordic countries in medieval times. Data are primarily from 15 osteo-archeological studies of medieval cemeteries carried out in recent decades. "The author concludes that the demographic system of the Nordic countries must have been qualitatively different from the early modern demographic regime. It is, among other things, distinguished by considerably higher mortality, lower life expectancy, higher nuptiality, lower age at marriage, especially for females, and higher fertility. This shows that the transformation from medieval society to (early) modern Europe comprised profound changes not only in economic, social and political structures, but also in the basic demographic pattern."

Hello Listers, I've just subscribed to this list so here goes. Looking for my gr-grandfather, Benjamin F. Potter, b. 1867 somewhere in Nevada. He came to California around 1890 or maybe a little before. Married Matilda Heins (misspelled Hynes in the San Francisco 1900 Census) around 1897. They had one daughter, Melba Charlotte Potter, b. April 16,1898. Benjamin was a ships engineer aboard the steamer passenger/cargo ship, the Walla Walla. It was involved in a shipwreck with a French ship on January 2, 1902, 15 miles off the coast of Cape Mendocino, California. He was listed as missing, presumably drowned. According to the San Francisco 1900 Census his father was from England and mother from Massachusettes. I have located only one set of people in Eureka City, Eureka County, Nevada 1880 Federal Census whose birth places fit but have no way of confirmation especially since Benjamin is not listed with them on them. Nevada didn't keep birth records in 1867. I'm trying to find out where in Nevada Ben was born and who his parents were. If this information rings any bells or anyone has any ideas where else I might look I would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks so much, Virginia Southas Bellevue (suburb of Seattle) Washington

Hi, looking for information on Luzer HILL b. about 1835 and his daughter Ganie or (Jany gracie) HILL STILWELL b. about 1859, Ganie was married in 1873 and had a daughter Minnie in 1875 in Madison Alabama. Luzer moved west in 1875. Thanks so much. TaNee

Can anyone tell me what Nevada has for a death index? I am looking for any Thow's that might have died in the state. Thanks for the help, Phillip Thow

I have recently published my Dad's book on the genealogy of the Taliaferro family. He spent 43 years researching the family. Several branches of the family were in Nevada. If you are interested, please visit my web site at http://www.assentweb.com/taliaferro Thank you very much.

I may have just broken through a brick wall. I have a copy of my grandfathers social security application and ti says he was born in 1899 in Hawthrone, Nevada. Can someone pls. ell me what county that is so I can look up census records and perhaps find out where I might request a copy of this birth certificate Thank you Allison in CT

Researching a birth record for Arthur Moses SPARROW. He was born 2/6/1864 in Empire. Not sure what county Empire was in at the time. Arthur was born unexpectedly when the SPARROWS were visiting Empire. They resided in San Francisco. They were looking at a boarding house to buy. The middle name MOSES might have been related to his birth. Maybe the Dr. That name has no other significance. Would appreciate any advise on this. Thank you, Christine
