The report states that the Society was established in Melbourne in August 1845. The objects of the Society were to relieve the wants of the poor, particularly female, by supplying them with clothes, food and necessaries, and primary attention was to be given to the sick and to poor women in their confinements. http://www.members.optushome.com.au/lenorefrost/benevolent.html Sally Rolls Pavia sallypavia2001@yahoo.com "Those who dislike the cat . were in a former life, a rat."

Doukhobor Collection The Doukhobor Collection database is comprised of over 260 primary source items (totaling over 500 images) dating from 1898 to 1975. Among these items are a variety of scanned manuscripts, photographs, books and book chapters, magazine articles, financial documents and interviews. The items in the Collection largely deal with the settlement of the Doukhobors in late 19th - early 20th century Canada. This material represents a significant portion of the manuscripts and photographs but only a fraction of the books and periodicals in the Library's holdings. http://edocs.lib.sfu.ca/projects/Doukhobor-Collection/ Sally Rolls Pavia sallypavia2001@yahoo.com "Those who dislike the cat . were in a former life, a rat."

http://digital.library.wisc.edu/1711.dl/SurveyNotes Wisconsin Public Land Survey Records: Original Field Notes and Plat Maps Digitized field notes and plat maps created between 1833 and 1866 provide valuable original land survey information and document Wisconsin's landscape history. Cartographers created sketch maps, based on notes from their extensive field survey. This work established the township, range and section grid for Wisconsin and is the Public Land Survey System (PLSS) upon which land ownership and land use is based. These plat map images are presented with enhanced zoom and rotate tools using JPEG2000, options that greatly improve use and navigation of large digital images.

Looking for some summer fun for you and/or possibly family members to do together? Look no further than creating your own family Time Capsule! Keep these things in mind when creating your time capsule: Documents should be on acid-free, archival-safe paper. If they are handwritten, use pencil because ink fades over time and can also emit fumes that may damage other items in the time capsule. Photos should be black & white - color photos won't last as long and they also use chemicals that may affect other articles in the capsule. Newsprint should be avoided because the paper is highly acidic and will disintegrate over time. Once again, the fumes emitted can damage other items. Other items to avoid altogether are tapes, videos and CD-ROMs. They do not age well and it's "unlikely playback devices will be available for those objects anyway" once the capsule is opened. Items that you put in the time capsule should be in archival quality containers or envelopes. Consider including a lock of hair or fingernail clippings or kept baby teeth. From an article I read, "By the time the capsule is opened, there may be much more sophisticated testing facilities available. Hair samples may help identify and correct a genetically-based medical problem for a descendant." The following are a list of sites where you can learn more about time capsules and even purchase time capsule kits OR MAKE YOUR OWN! http://www.oglethorpe.edu/itcs http://www.barrtek.com http://www.futurearchaeology from A Genealogy Experience: Surnames [AGenealogyExperienceSurnames@groups.msn.com]

The History Channel / This Day In History [thc-tdih@newsletters.aetv.com] POCAHONTAS MARRIES JOHN ROLFE: April 5, 1614 Pocahontas, daughter of the chief of the Powhatan Indian confederacy, marries English tobacco planter John Rolfe in Jamestown, Virginia. The marriage ensured peace between the Jamestown settlers and the Powhatan Indians for several years. In May 1607, about 100 English colonists settled along the James River in Virginia to found Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in America. The settlers fared badly because of famine, disease, and Indian attacks, but were aided by 27-year-old English adventurer John Smith, who directed survival efforts and mapped the area. While exploring the Chickahominy River in December 1607, Smith and two colonists were captured by Powhatan warriors. At the time, the Powhatan confederacy consisted of around 30 Tidewater-area tribes led by Chief Wahunsonacock, known as Chief Powhatan to the English. Smith's companions were killed, but he was spared and released, (according to a 1624 account by Smith) because of the dramatic intercession of Pocahontas, Chief Powhatan's 13-year-old daughter. Her real name was Matoaka, and Pocahontas was a pet name that has been translated variously as "playful one" and "my favorite daughter."In 1608, Smith became president of the Jamestown colony, but the settlement continued to suffer. An accidental fire destroyed much of the town, and hunger, disease, and Indian attacks continued. During this time, Pocahontas often came to Jamestown as an emissary of her father, sometimes bearing gifts of food to help the hard-pressed settlers. She befriended the settlers and became acquainted with English ways. In 1609, Smith was injured from a fire in his gunpowder bag and was forced to return to England.After Smith's departure, relations with the Powhatan deteriorated and many settlers died from famine and disease in the winter of 1609-10. Jamestown was about to be abandoned by its inhabitants when Baron De La Warr (also known as Delaware) arrived in June 1610 with new supplies and rebuilt the settlement--the Delaware River and the colony of Delaware were later named after him. John Rolfe also arrived in Jamestown in 1610 and two years later cultivated the first tobacco there, introducing a successful source of livelihood that would have far-reaching importance for Virginia.In the spring of 1613, English Captain Samuel Argall took Pocahontas hostage, hoping to use her to negotiate a permanent peace with her father. Brought to Jamestown, she was put under the custody of Sir Thomas Gates, the marshal of Virginia. Gates treated her as a guest rather than a prisoner and encouraged her to learn English customs. She converted to Christianity and was baptized Lady Rebecca. Powhatan eventually agreed to the terms for her release, but by then she had fallen in love with John Rolfe, who was about 10 years her senior. On April 5, 1614, Pocahontas and John Rolfe married with the blessing of Chief Powhatan and the governor of Virginia.Their marriage brought a peace between the English colonists and the Powhatans, and in 1615 Pocahontas gave birth to their first child, Thomas. In 1616, the couple sailed to England. The so-called Indian Princess proved popular with the English gentry, and she was presented at the court of King James I. In March 1617, Pocahontas and Rolfe prepared to sail back to Virginia. However, the day before they were to leave, Pocahontas died, probably of smallpox, and was buried at the parish church of St. George in Gravesend, England.John Rolfe returned to Virginia and was killed in an Indian massacre in 1622. After an education in England, their son Thomas Rolfe returned to Virginia and became a prominent citizen. John Smith returned to the New World in 1614 to explore the New England coast. On another voyage of exploration in 1614, he was captured by pirates but escaped after three months of captivity. He then returned to England, where he died in 1631.

More 'hints' from one of the mailing list members. Sally Unless you know the cemetery is immaculately groomed, take a small pair of garden clippers along--particularly handy if grass is growing over the writing on those "flat to the ground" markers. Also carry a bottle of water and a soft rag to use in removing those "birdie num nums"--nothing more tacky than a photo of a beautiful marker with droppings on it. I also try to have a soft bristled brush (paint brushes are good) to sweep away dirt, leaves, grass clippings etc. AND, before you click, look carefully and see where your shadow is falling--unless you like the ghostly look of a dark shadow over your marker images.
