The famous Olympic skier Picabo Street, pronounced (Peek'aboo), is not just an athlete, she is also a nurse who currently works in the Intensive Care Unit (I.C.U.) of a large metropolitan hospital. She is a fine nurse, however, Picabo (Peek'aboo) is not permitted to answer the telephone because too much confusion ensues when she answers the phone and says..... "Picabo, I.C.U."

I agree. There are some gravestone materials that should never be "cleaned." Just remember, never do what can't be undone! Our Rural Cemetery Assoc. has a book that was put out, or endorsed by a well-known gravestone association. I sent an e-mail a day or so, ago, that lists the url for the site of that association.

I too am of the "puritan" view of avoiding application of any kind of chemical, including water, to a headstone. Taking the long view of at least 700 years, any chemical is going to accelerate deterioration over that time. About the only thing that would help preserve a headstone is to enclose it to protect it from the weather. The next thing to help preserve it is to bury it ... no kidding. I know that both procedures aren't practical, but I'd like to present evidence of the beneficial effects of burying headstones. Take a look at the headstone of Constant Woodworth, who died in 1777, at the URL http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~woodworth/stones/Constant_Woodworth.j pg. This headstone was discovered after being below ground for about 175 years and flat (from falling over) in the yard of a new home near Lebanon, CT. The homeowner re-erected it by the driveway next to the road. It was in pristine condition and perfectly legible. However, headstones of the same period in the nearby town cemetery which were continually exposed to the weather were mostly illegible. And I believe I found two descendants of this Constant Woodworth. They were pretty happy about the find.

My ISP sent me the following....does he know something, I don't? Genealogy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My family coat of arms ties at the back ... is that normal? My family tree is a few branches short! All help appreciated. My ancestors must be in a witness protection program! Shake your family tree and watch the nuts fall! My hobby is genealogy, I raise dust bunnies as pets. How can one ancestor cause so much TROUBLE?! I looked into my family tree and found out I was a sap ... I'm not stuck, I'm ancestrally challenged. I'm searching for myself; Have you seen me? If only people came with pull-down menus and on-line help ... Isn't genealogy fun? The answer to one problem leads to two more! It's 2000 ... Do you know where your G-G-Grandparents are? A family reunion is an effective form of birth control. A family tree can wither if nobody tends it's roots. A new cousin a day keeps the boredom away. After 30 days unclaimed ancestors will be adopted. Am I the only person up my tree ... sure seems like it. Any family tree produces some lemons, some nuts, and a few bad apples. Ever find an ancestor HANGING from the family tree? FLOOR: The place for storing your priceless genealogy records. Gene-Allergy: It's a contagious disease but I love it. Genealogists are time unravelers. Genealogy is like playing hide and seek: They hide ... I seek! Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people. "Crazy" is a relative term in my family. A pack rat is hard to live with but makes a fine ancestor. I want to find ALL of them! So far I only have a few thousand. I Should have asked them BEFORE they died! I think my ancestors had several "Bad heir" days. I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the JUNEflower. Only a Genealogist regards a step backwards, as progress. Share your knowledge, it is a way to achieve immortality. Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools! It's an unusual family that hath neither a lady of the evening or a thief. Many a family tree needs pruning. Shh! Be very, very quiet ... I'm hunting forebears. Snobs talk as if they had begotten their own ancestors! That's strange: half my ancestors are WOMEN! I'm not sick, I've just got fading genes. Genealogists live in the past lane. Cousins marrying cousins: Very tangled roots! Cousins marrying cousins: A non-branching family tree Alright! Everybody out of the gene pool! Always willing to share my ignorance ... Documentation ...The hardest part of genealogy. Genealogy: Chasing your own tale! Genealogy ... will I ever find time to mow the lawn again? That's the problem with the gene pool: NO Lifeguards I researched my family tree ... and apparently I don't exist! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [email protected]

Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for the warm welcome!! I have a favor to ask of the group. I have just developed a FREE, interactive genealogy tutorial that will soon be available to the public. I would like to get some feedback on ways to improve the tutorial such as additional websites to include or suggestions on clarifying the instructions. The main page explains the purpose of the tutorial and describes how this course differs from the many other excellent resources currently available. You can access it at: http://freepages.education.rootsweb.com/~dflanagan/start.html Please contact me privately with your ideas or if you have any questions. Also, feel free to pass the website address along to anyone who might benefit. Oh by the way, I am researching the following surnames: AUGER, BOSHART, BREESE, WHITMER, WITMER, OVERMYER, HERRICK, CEBRA, SILLIMAN, SHIPMAN, L'HOMMEDIEU, WATROUS, WARNER, SCHANCK/SCHENCK Thanks in advance for your help and I am looking forward to participating on this list!!
