I would just like to extend a warm welcome to all the new subscribers who have joined us over the holidays, don't be shy to post as you will find this is a very friendly list. No question is ever considered silly or out of place here as this list not only welcomes those who are new to genealogy but is a unique list in that we also allow trivia postings.

Pam - Brian has obviously done us all a favour by introducing you to the list. I have toyed with the idea of helping to put things on FREBMD but I am afraid of biting off more than I can chew. Is it possible to start in a very small way with a very small project? I can type, so that is an asset I suppose? But I don't want to get bogged down in something I can't cope with. Marged | Goodmorning | | Thought I would fill in a few minutes to wish everyone a very happy and | prosperous New Year. | | As Brian would tell you, I am finding it easier to type than to talk at | the moment, although I just about managed two lines of HAPPY BIRTHDAY, | when I spoke to him yesterday. [He rang from the pub would you | believe!!] In other words I've lost my voice! Still I am giving everyone | a break from listening to me chat. | | I would also like to tell you, in case you don't already know, about a | marvellous project called Archive CD Books. Take the time to visit the | home page and read all about it, it's a very worth while project in my | opinion and as family historians we should support it. | The url is, for those of you who don't know about it, | http://www.archivecdbooks.com/ | | I have also just volunteered for the FREEBMD project. This is the | project to put all birth, marriages and deaths since 1837 on line. This | is going to be so useful to all of us and everyone can join in, you | don't need a micro fiche reader according the web page. | The url for this is http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ | | Hope you all find this interesting, and maybe a couple of you could join | in the above and so speed up this project. | | Happy New Year and good luck with your researching. | Very best wishes, | Pam | Stoke on Trent | | | ==== NORTHERN-ENGLAND Mailing List ==== | An alternative mailing list for genealogy research in | Northern England, this list covers the whole of the North of England | | --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Dear All, And you thought you had it bad.................... ALWAYS THOUGHT GREEN SNAKES WERE OK? READ ON........ Green Garden Grass snakes can be dangerous, Yes, grass snakes, not rattlesnakes. A couple in Sweetwater, Texas had a lot of potted plants, and during a recent cold spell, the wife was bringing a lot of them indoors to protect them from a possible freeze. It turned out that a little green garden grass snake was hidden in one of the plants and when it had warmed up, it slithered out and the wife saw it go under the sofa. She let out a very loud scream. The husband who was taking a shower ran out into the living room naked to see what the problem was. She told him there was a snake under the sofa. He got down on the floor on his hands and knees to look for it. About that time the family dog came and cold-nosed him on the leg. He thought the snake had bitten him and he fainted. His wife thought he had a heart attack, so she called an ambulance. The attendants rushed in and loaded him on the stretcher and started carrying him out. About that time the snake came out from under the sofa and the Emergency Medical Technician saw it and dropped his end of the stretcher. That's when the man broke his leg and why he is in the hospital. The wife still had the problem of the snake in the house, so she called on a neighbor man. He volunteered to capture the snake. He armed himself with a rolled-up newspaper and began poking under the couch. Soon he decided it was gone and told the woman, who sat down on the sofa in relief. But in relaxing, her hand dangled in between the cushions, where she felt the snake wriggling around. She screamed and fainted, the snake rushed back under the sofa, and the neighbor man, seeing her laying there passed out tried to use CPR to revive her. The neighbor's wife, who had just returned from shopping at the grocery store, saw her husband's mouth on the woman's mouth and slammed her husband in the back of the head with a bag of canned goods, knocking him out and cutting his scalp to a point where it needed stitches. An ambulance was again called and it was determined that the injury required hospitalization. The noise woke the woman from her dead faint and she saw her neighbor lying on the floor with his wife bending over him, so she assumed he had been bitten by the snake. She went to the kitchen, brought back a small bottle of whiskey, and began pouring it down the man's throat. By now the police had arrived. They saw the unconscious man, smelled the whiskey, and assumed that a drunken fight had occurred. They were about to arrest them all, when the two women tried to explain how it all happened over a little green snake. They called an ambulance, which took away the neighbor and his sobbing wife. Just then the little snake crawled out from under the couch. One of the policemen drew his gun and fired at it. He missed the snake and hit the leg of the end table that was on one side of the sofa. The table fell over and the lamp on it shattered and as the bulb broke, it started a fire in the drapes. The other policeman tried to beat out the flames and fell through the window into the yard on top of the family dog, who startled, jumped up and raced out into the street, where an oncoming car swerved to avoid it and smashed into the parked police car and set it on fire. Meanwhile the burning drapes had spread to the walls and the entire house was blazing. Neighbors had called the fire department and the arriving fire-truck had started raising his ladder as they were halfway down the street. The rising ladder tore out the overhead wires and put out the electricity and disconnected the telephones in a ten-square city block area. Time passed ----------------- Both men were discharged from the hospital, the house was re-built, the police acquired a new car, and all was right with their world ------- About a year later they were watching TV and the weatherman announced a cold snap for that night. The husband asked his wife if she thought they should bring in their plants for the night. She shot him. Regards, Mikey. Spectemur Agendo.

Hi Marge, Welcome back, as to FREEBMD all they ask is half an hour per week but really it is up to you how much you transcribe, I was sent six pages double sided with about 350 names each side, took me about a week to fill in just one side @ about half an hour per night. I gave it up because the type is so small I felt it would give me eyestrain.
