Hello, There is a copy of the "History of the Old Tennent Church," 2nd ed., 1904, for sale on e-bay. It's item #6929574545. It's an ex-library copy, so not in the best shape, but the bidding starts at $19.95 plus shipping, a pretty good deal. I thought one of you would want it. Les

Hi: This was sent to me by my daughter who works for the VA in Milwaukee. John -------- Original Message -------- Subject: FW: HEY VA! HAVE YOU HEARD? September 23, 2004 Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 18:54:03 -0500 From: Carrie Konrath <konrath1@execpc.com> To: Mom & Dad Snedeker <jsnedekr@execpc.com> Erroneous messages circulating on the Internet are telling veterans that the National Archives and Records Administration's (NARA) National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis plans to digitally scan its military personnel records and destroy the paper files unless veterans request that the originals be sent to them. NARA officials say this is false and that the Personnel Records Center does not intend to destroy its paper files. Any scanning will be to reduce the need for handling fragile records during the reference process. Officials stressed that it is the center's responsibility to preserve and protect official military personnel files, as they are permanently valuable records documenting the essential evidence of military service for the nation's veterans. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This message scanned for viruses by CoreComm <http://www.core.com/>

This was copied & pasted from their site. ----------------------------------------- Attention: There is a rumor circulating among veteran service organizations that Official Military Personnel Files (OMPFs) at the National Personnel Records Center will be digitized and then destroyed. This rumor is NOT TRUE. Neither the Department of Defense (DoD) nor the National Personnel Records Center intend to destroy any OMPFs stored at the Center. The purpose of any electronic scanning would be to reduce the handling of fragile records during the reference process or to reduce the time necessary to locate and answer an OMPF inquiry. The National Archives and Records Administration preserves and protects OMPFs because they are permanently valuable records that document the essential evidence of military service for the veterans of our nation.

Sorry folks -- my previous message about military records has been proven to be just a nasty rumor. I went to the site and that's the first thing it says!!!! Teach me to not look before I leap!! Head hung low -- Terri

Folks -- The National Personnel Records Center is in the process of automating all it's records of military personnel. When it's finished, the hard copies will be destroyed. If you want any records - probably better act soon. National Personnel Records Center Military Personnel Records 9700 Page Ave. St. Louis, MO 63132-5100 vetrecs.archives.gov/ Please pass this on to other lists - Thanks - Terri

a reminder... this weekend Sept. 25 & Sept 26 and next weekend Oct 2 & Oct 3 from 10am to 5pm I have been in the cemetery all week and there are several areas with gravestones face down in the brush. Therefore, a few areas will definitely need to be trimmed out first. Some of you may want to bring weed trimmers, a saw, hatchet, etc. Please remember to wear sturdy shoes and to bring gloves. Good news - the grass was cut on Monday !! The weather report looks really good for this weekend. See you Saturday, Cindy

I am interested in Pearce/ Pierce and congrats Terri on a new member to your family. Jersybel

Hello all - In the process of helping a friend, I've been told that many families fled Mon. Co. to Somerset Co., due to the invasion of the British. Further, it's been said that these families were required to enlist in the militia (of Somerset Co. I'm presuming). Can anyone point me to a source that might confirm that? This could be the answer my friend's been looking for for a very long time. Thanks guys -- Terri Shameless plug here -- add a new twig to my NJ tree -- Marcus Taylor Pierce born, 16 August.

The series commenced with "Case Studies in New Jersey Genealogy: Tracing Your Civil War Ancestor" presented by reference archivist Catherine Stearns Medich. Ms. Medich reviewed archival sources which document military service of New Jersey men in the War of the Rebellion, providing in-depth information about various types of records held by the State Archives. In addition to service records, Ms. Medich also discussed pension files and records relating to veterans and orphans. This Wednesday's (9/22) lecture by archivist Sean A. Curry will focus on tracing recent immigrant families in New Jersey (1860-1940 period) and the various public records available for this type of search. These include immigration and naturalization records, censuses and many other sources. Mr. Curry will pay special attention to materials that reveal our immigrant ancestors' places of origin. The lectures begin at 6:30 p.m. in the State Archives' Manuscript Reading Room, 225 West State Street, Trenton, NJ. Registration of $8 per lecture can be paid at the door. Light refreshments are provided. On lecture days, the Archives' Microfilm Reading Room hours will be extended to 6:00 p.m. Parking is available on the street, or after 3:00 p.m. in the state lot behind the Archives building. For more information about the series, visit the following web-page: http://www.njarchives.org/links/jersey-roots2.html Hope to see you here!
