Get ready to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! Beginning Sept. 15, the nation will honor the history and ancestry of 35 million residents of Hispanic descent—that's 12.5 percent of the population, according to the US Census Bureau. About half the US Hispanic population is very close to its roots; 16 million were born in Latin America. As reported in the 2000 census the majority of Hispanic-Americans come from Mexico (20.6 million). Other ancestries represented include 3.4 million from Puerto Rico, 1.2 million from Cuba, 1.7 million from Central America and 1.4 million from South America.

I am so sorry... I was trying to use it to mark the page for me and forgot to remove it. I didn't realize that it would be so irritating, let alone show up. Just wanted a new home page and I hate to run through all the bookmarks and favorites to find the Wmson county page. BUT it is gone, no more, nada, zip... I have added a few more surnames and have a wonderful suggestion for a new gadget for the gadget page. Just have to locate it. It is a bithdate from the info on the headstone...if it says June 14, 1973 94 years, 3 months, 5 days, you can enter that information and it will give you the date of birth and day of the week. Thanks, Brenda. Yikes! It is after midnight and I have to be up at 5... Thanks all, Ann, Williamson County, IL <http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilwillia>

A good friend sent this to me this afternoon... I wanted to SHARE it with all my on-line friends....at NEWGEN... Bunny ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Silence of Nine-Eleven September eleventh was filled with the sounds of destruction and loss. Then came the silence. The little boy who listens in vain for the loving calls of his mommy. The little girl who will never again fall asleep to a bedtime story from her daddy. The husband whose heart aches for the soft whispers of his wife. The mother who would give anything to hear just one more "I love you, Mom," from her son. Cherish those you love because the silence is indeed deafening. Remember, your family first.

Good morning, There is a new page on the Williamson County, IL website <http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilwillia> which gives the day of the week on which a certain date occurred. You can tell if Great Aunt Ethel was born on a Monday. Was she "fair of face"? Other ages have been updated If you have any suggestions for "gadgets" which you would like to see placed on a web page together (so you won't have to go gallavantin' around), let me know. The forum continues to be down but, be patient. Kristie and all are working on it and plan to have it operational by the weekend. Happy Huntin' Ann

My prayers go out for Barbara and her family. I pray God will keep them in the palm of his and give them comfort and peace. Bunny ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] One generic note will have to do right now. We are preparing to rush back to Oklahoma at any time because my husband's sister is in a coma and cannot survive long. They say she has leukemia. When my mother-in-law heard the news, she collapsed and had to be put in the hospital too. She is 92 or 93 years old. These things come in large doses at times. If I have a chance, I will be in touch again just before we leave here. Please pray for us all.

In George Washington's days, there were no cameras. One's image was either sculpted or painted. Some paintings of George Washington showed him standing behind a desk with one arm behind his back while others showed both legs and both arms. Prices charged by painters were not based on how many people were to be painted, but by how many limbs were to be painted. Arms and legs are "limbs" therefore painting them would cost the buyer more. Hence the expression "Okay, but it'll cost you an arm and a leg." Sally Rolls Pavia Sun City, AZ [email protected] "You have to stand for something; or you will fall for anything."

Ken Burns' The Civil War Returns to PBS This Morning When "The Civil War," a film by Ken Burns, originally premiered in September 1990, the response was phenomenal and the series became a national viewing event. The Civil War remains the highest-rated program in PBS history. Beginning 22 September 2002, twelve years after the film premiered, PBS will rebroadcast this landmark series in its entirety complete with digitally remastered images and audio. In addition, the updated version will include a new introduction by filmmaker Ken Burns, as well as special interviews with Shelby Foote, Stanley Crouch, George Will, musicians Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, among others, and new behind-the-scenes material, including a side-by-side demonstration of the remastered footage. Technology has evolved significantly since The Civil War was originally mastered for broadcast and video viewing, so Ken Burns decided that before the film would be re-released, the film should be updated, taking advantage of new film-transfer, color-correction and audio mixing techniques. Every frame has been digitized and the sound remixed in stereo. The content of The Civil War has not been altered at all. But we believe the digital re-mastering process has created a film that will feel like a brand new, richly textured, and more enveloping viewing experience--one that will hopefully only deepen the viewer's emotional response to this crucial turning point in our nation's history.

U.S. shreds millions of visa applications Wed Aug 21, 7:12 PM ET By TED BRIDIS, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Despite a post-Sept. 11 emphasis on sharing information, the U S. government each year deliberately shreds millions of unsuccessful immigration applications containing personal details and photographs that some officials say could help in the war against terrorism. Many applicants are from countries the U.S. government considers sponsors or harborers of terrorists, officials said. Senior counterterrorism and law enforcement officials say they were unaware of the State Department's practice and believe the information should be preserved for potential use in terrorism investigations. Immigration lawyers however, are worried about the privacy implications. "All the people in homeland security should eventually have the capacity to sift through these," said Rep. George Gekas, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee's immigration subcommittee. State Department officials say they have been using high-speed shredders in Kentucky they call "Igor One" and "Igor Two" to destroy the records of immigrants who fail to win entry to the United States after applying through a special visa lottery system. Millions across the globe apply, but only about 50,000 are picked randomly each year. Each one-page application includes the person's name, photograph, current address and place of birth, as well as the same information and photographs for all immediate family members. Winning applicants are asked further about the dates and locations of any schools or jobs. On Wednesday, the State Department published new rules for the next lottery, and winning visas would be awarded in October 2003. The lottery will be open to immigrants from all nations except Canada, China, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Pakistan, the Philippines, South Korea, Vietnam and the United Kingdom. Applications from the 50,000 winners each year are retained and checked against lists of terror suspects and known criminals. The rest — the overwhelming majority — are destroyed under the State Department's rules for the 1990-era Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery. Ed Dickens, a spokesman for the Bureau of Consular Affairs that runs the program, said the State Department would be willing to change its rules to share all the forms with the FBI and the CIA. "We'd be happy to mail them to the CIA if they wanted," Dickens said. "They re not of particular use to us." Law enforcement and counterterrorism officials told about the shredding by The Associated Press said they could see an investigative use for the information. In the most recent lottery, the government received 8.7 million applications It awarded visas to citizens of the seven countries the United States considers state sponsors of terrorism — Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea Syria and Yemen — as well as Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Sudan, plus 178 other countries. Recent winners included the family of Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, 41, an Egyptian who gunned down two people July 4 at Los Angeles International Airport, officials said. Hadayet had been under deportation orders in 1997 when his wife won the visa lottery, allowing the entire family to remain in the United States.

Thanks for this great website! I've read a good lot of it this morning and will get back in it a bit later. We found a similar record on our family's membership in another Jennings Co. IN church - the "Bare Creek Baptist Church" during this same time period. We'd have not known about had it not been for the fact that a group of students published the Minutes in a book a no. of years ago. We happened across the book in the LDS library in Salt Lake. Thanks, Sally, for telling us about the Coffee Creek church and to Pat Wilson for the website.
