Hi Listers, I've tried to keep a low-profile over here -- but can't keep quiet any longer -- our listers have been putting through some wonderful and precious material; but it's only going to be for us to see unless someone takes the time and effort to put these findings on the Rootsweb Bulletin Board in their various categories. Then the whole country can see these rare pieces of information. It seems to me that this is was Nan Dixon was trying to tell us today -- maybe I'm wrong. I've even had people tell me they don't know how to use this invaluable system. What a shame. It does take awhile to post these obits, obit notices, and biographical sketches on the Rootsweb Bulletin Boards and perhaps many of you don't have the time. Some periods during the day are faster than others for doing this type of posting. If there is any way I can help you, please let me know -- I have lots of free time. Meanwhile, thank you who are doing this fabulous service SCF

Hi Again, I have had a few people contact me and ask where I got the information in my last post. I had gotten a few photocopies of articles from the Jefferson County Journals with information about people in my line. There is always other information on the same page, articles, marriages, deaths, etc. If anyone else has gotten copies of information from newspapers, please share what else is on the pages besides your own names. You never know when it might help someone else out. Thanks Carol Now here is the list of Deaths from the Jefferson County Journal dated 6-2-1891 I have typed them just as they are in the paper. With the exception of the DILLENBECK one- the name "Face" The first letter is so faded that I wasn't positive if it is an F or not, the other letters are correct. DIED.

Dear Listers: I hope this is the last one from me for a VERY long time. The problem with personal email was mine: there was a toggle out in cyberspace that I hadn't toggled correctly, and for punishment, the note I sent to Mark Wentling you all have seen. I meant it for Mark only. I'm sorry if I came down like a wet blanket. You should now be able to send a reply to one person by clicking on your usual return message button, without sending it to the list. If you want to address the list (and I hope you do) you have to put in the NYJEFFER-L address. I'm very new at this, and also computer challenged. I do my best, but obviously, in my previous note to you, my best is none too good. Do send personal messages personally, and keep the general information coming to the list. To call your attention to something someone may have overlooked, please check our list of Jefferson County people on the website (does everyone know what I mean by THE WEBSITE?) before you send biographies. They just might be already there. And please send bios to the bio board, obits to the obit board, etc. If you want to call attention to a name you have just put on, by all means do so, but sort out the categories for all of us. Just the listers will get your information if you send it to the list (I BELIEVE!) but sending it to the GenConnect boards helps the whole rootsweb and beyond.

I hope that I spelled everything correctly, some of the print was hard to read. I will send the Deaths from this same issue in another post. Carol

Mark, Would you care to have this put in our lookups as well? It might give you more exposure. And perhaps on the Hounsfield page, but that would take negotiation with he who posts.
