I have recently found some new info regarding my NIX family and am hoping with this new info someone will recognize this family. Eldridge Nix moved his family from Arkadelphia, Ark to Jewell, Eastland co, Tx in 1846. His youngest daughter Mary Julia Nix stated in an article she wrote for the WPA program that her mother died right after arriving in Eastland co. and she was raised by her older sisters. Eldridge Nix had a 160 acre stock farm in Jewell, Eastland co, Tx. Thank you, Bev

I apologize if you receive this announcement multiple times from other mailing lists, but I want to be sure everyone is informed regarding financial support that Rootsweb is receiving from Palladium Interactive. This will provide Rootsweb the funds needed to continue to operate as they have in the past and to cope with the growing load on their servers. Here is the announcement from Dr. Brian Leverich and Tim Pierce, System Administrator: --------------------------------------------------- Dear RootsWeb Community, On 1 April 1998, Palladium Interactive reinforced the contributions of thousands of individual genealogists by becoming the sole commercial sponsor of the oldest and largest Internet genealogical resource: the RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative. An *extremely* important aspect of the sponsorship is that Palladium's commitment to RootsWeb goes far beyond simple financial support: Palladium and RootsWeb will work together to develop an exciting new generation of tools linking individual genealogists' lineage databases to the myriad data resources on the Internet. Palladium Interactive is the creator of the Ultimate Family Tree software for genealogists, the only genealogical software that can be used by novices but provides all the capabilities that experienced genealogists need. UFT itself has a distinguished lineage, being descended the widely-acclaimed Roots III and Roots IV software packages that defined professional-grade genealogical software more than a decade ago. Rootsweb also traces its origins back more than a decade to the founding of the ROOTS-L mailing list and the Roots Surname List query system. Now with more than 300,000 users, RootsWeb currently hosts more than 2,500 genealogical Websites and more than 3,100 mailing lists dedicated to surname and locality research. The hosted Websites include: * the Roots Surname List, which now includes 404,000 submissions from 55,000 genealogists * 40 of the 50 USGenWeb state pages and a large majority of the 3,100 county pages * the USGenWebArchives with hundreds of megabytes of searchable data * and hundreds of other resources Besides ROOTS-L, RootsWeb also hosts 3,100+ other mailing lists dedicated to the discussion of specific surnames, ethnic groups, and geographic localities. RootsWeb's Web servers handle 1,000,000+ Web "hits" each day, and RootsWeb's list servers allow genealogists to exchange 3,000,000+ pieces of e-mail each day. While RootsWeb has historically been supported by thousands of individual contributors and while individual contributions will remain RootsWeb's mainstay, Palladium's contribution provides RootsWeb with the ability to substantially increase the range of resources freely available to Internet genealogists. For example, the first two months of Palladium's sponsorship have allowed us to add: * A new search engine server, which has immediately made the equivalent of 500,000 new pages of data searchable by Internet genealogists and which will allow us to upload another 4,000,000 pages in the near future. * A new high-capacity router, that will increase from 2,000 to 5,000 the number of genealogists who can simultaneously be use RootsWeb. * A new mailing list archive server, which will enable genealogists to conveniently scan the archived posts of our 3,100 mailing using their Web browsers. In addition to the immediate, tangible benefits of Palladium's sponsorship, RootsWeb believes that the joint Palladium-RootsWeb software development projects will provide much, much greater benefits to the genealogical community. Over time we expect to see the seamless integration of Ultimate Family Tree with the burgeoning genealogical resources on the Internet, allowing even novice users to easily find Internet Websites, mailing lists, and databases where they can extend and refine their understanding of their family's history. On behalf of the million members of the Internet genealogical community, RootsWeb thanks Palladium for their contributions to the near-term needs and long-term advancement of our community. Sincerely, Dr. Brian Leverich ----------------------------------------------------------------- So there's the official story. As to some of the concerns that have begun to float around: WILL MANDATORY FEES BE IMPOSED ON LIST SUBSCRIBERS? ---------------------- No. RootsWeb is free: it is a resource provided free of charge to the general genealogical community. Period. Some people have expressed worry about the phrase ``services at minimal cost'' in Brian's letter. Minimal means zero: we will not charge across-the-board fees to subscribe to mailing lists or run archive searches. The reason that for emphasizing ``minimal cost'' rather than ``no cost'' is to remind people that running RootsWeb does cost real money, and we want to encourage as many people as possible to become RootsWeb Members and Sponsors. DOES THIS MEAN THAT UFT OWNS MY MAILING LIST OR MY DATA? --------------------- No. Absolutely not. Palladium's sponsorship has *no* effect whatever on RootsWeb's relationship with the listowners or list subscribers. The terms of the sponsorship are limited to underwriting the cost of RootsWeb operating expenses, and funding new research projects. There is no way that RootsWeb would enter into a commercial partnership that would involve taking away your rights as genealogists, listowners and RootsWeb sponsors. RootsWeb's chief source of funding is still from individual subscriptions. That's how Brian and Karen prefer things: it means keeping people our highest priority, and it's the best way to avoid compromising your interests in favor of some nameless corporate machine. The goal here is to augment our main financial support with a healthy partnership to produce some really powerful genealogical tools. Regards, Tim Pierce RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative volunteer sysadmin and general hacker

I have been searching long and hard for the ancestors of my grandparents, Isaac Thomas HILL and Beadie GRAHAM. Isaac HILL was born 13 Sept 1878 in Coosa County, Alabama and Beadie GRAHAM was born 16 SEPT 1878 in Texas.. I had been told that she was bon in Tyler, Texas but recently fiound out it was actually Kilgore, Texas. They married about 1900. I finally found some information on both these lines. Isaac Thomas HILL's mother was Lovie or Lovda Ellen Littleton Her parents were Isaac Littleton born in Chilton County, Alabama and Ruthie Ann Nix born in Tallapoosa (listed as City) Beadie GRAHAM we found out was actually Margaret Beadie Susanna GRAHAM. This led to the revelation tht her parents were William Jasper GRAHAM born in Tennessee and Anna Francis Rebecca NIX born in Alabama. So I am looking for two NIX families that were both in Alabama. Or maybe it is really only one NIX family. Maybe Isaac HILL and Beadie GRAHAM were distantly related through the NIX family. I have found information on a NIX family that was in Coosa County, Alabama that had a daughter named Rutha but I know of no connection yet. I will send this information through America Online because I have it on my other computer.
