Collene, If it's not a ' big deal' as you say, then drop it! If you are not happy with a site, don't use it but you do not need to complain online. We ALL are busy people including the retired with responsibilities but yet find time to do what we enjoy...family research. Personally I am getting very tired of hearing everyone gripe about something online. These sites are for sharing information, not to air all your complaints. They have been very helpful to my research and if they were not, I would simply unsubscribe without any further comment. Can you not do the same???

You are right, some have one opinion and some have another, but I am confused here. For someone who has so little time, did I not just read a book?

"kathleenburnett@earthlink.net" wrote: > Collene first contacted me with dissatisfaction with the FGS site because > she could not or did not want to type in her information This is perfectly true. I seem to remember saying that the design of the site made it useful only for people who have all the time in the world -- or something similar. I believe I suggested that when you were advertising the site, it would be beneficial if you'd let people know, up front, that they would need to re-enter all their FGS data, in order to use it. I believe, when you objected to that, I said something about the fact that I'm very willing to share gene. data, which may or may not be useful to others and MIGHT be viewed sometime, but not when it takes an extrodinary amount of time away from my research, my job, my homelife, my other hobbies and interests. I believe I told you there was no point in chastizing me for my opinion. I, for one, will simply not be using your sight, but I'm sure there are many, who have the time and priority, who will. I believe I implied that it was not necessary to create a vendetta, simply because I don't like or approve of your site or the manner in which you advertise it. It really is NOT that big an issue. >and wanted us to redesign the site so all she and other researchers >would have to do is upload. I NEVER asked you to redesign the site for me or anyone else. I didn't even suggest it. However, I did tell you, in my professional opinion, that NOT designing it so that people could upload, is basically poor design. I also noted that I was giving you the benefit of the doubt, by assuming you did not have the expertise to create a more robust site and so were doing the best you could, with the resources and expertise you had. So, with that in mind, I believe I reiterated that you should let people know, so they would not be disappointed, as I had been and as the other "visitors", who had contacted me about it, were. And I believe I reiterated that it was NOT a crime to lack the expertise to create (what I consider) a universally useful website, so it makes no sense (to me) to be so defensive about it. The site is not something I can use, or that many people, can use, but there are many people who will love it and use it. It's not necessary for EVERYONE to like it. It's not a reflection on you, so it makes no sense for you to take it so personally. To those who want to use it -- I applaud you. To those who don't, so what. To me, it's that simple and really has nothing to do with the author. I would suggest a bit more data be included, in the advertising of the site. Some of us, who have full time jobs, multiple hobbies and responsibilities, were very disappointed, once we visited the site. Now, add to this, the fact that around the same time this site was instroduced, some of the existing OK county sites were "re-adopte" and much of the data we had uploaded to those sites was removed. I'm just a bit more selective in where I spend my time, sharing data, than I have been in the past. Now -- since it was suggested in your earlier messages -- Please do not assume we, who are short of time, would browse the site to use the info, without taking the time to add our own data. I don't think that would be at all fair (kind of like "now, who will eat this porridge"), so for me, personally, I promise, until I have time to reenter all my FGS data manually, I won't look at any of the existing data on your site. So, please do not worry about that. :-) acp -------

About obtaining a copy of the handout, I am not sure how many (if any) extras there may be so I can not give an answer until after the meeting. Sorry. Billie Fogarty

Is it possible to obtain copies of the handouts?

In a recent discussion with Mr. John C. Burks, OK State Registrar and chief of the Vital Records Division, the kind offer was made to look into any problems that have come to my attention that people have had receiving death certificates. In monitoring this mailing list, a great many problems have come to my attention and I would be happy to pass those along. I can pass along the problems for any who would send specific information. Please send the details of your problem privately to < okgensoc@aol.com >. Please include your name, address where you requested the certificate be sent, the complete details of the death that you sent to the Vital Records Division with your request and the approximate date that this request was made. If your receipt for payment includes any kind of number or other proof of payment, that would probably help as well. I will pass these along to Mr. Burks following his presentation to our Society on July 1, 2002. The Oklahoma Genealogical Society cordially invites you to join us for the meeting to hear Mr. John Burks, Oklahoma State Registrar, in person. He will be our guest speaker on Monday evening, July 1, 2002, at 6 pm in the Auditorium of the Wiley Post Building (Oklahoma Historical Society) located at 2100 North Lincoln Blvd., Oklahoma City. The meeting is free and open to the public. We would respectfully request that any in attendance treat our guest courteously and that individual problems be dealt with individually. Billie Fogarty, President Oklahoma Genealogical Society [The Oklahoma Genealogical Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit educational organization established March 1955]

>From what I found, all of the graves (known) were removed from the island (date unknown) and reentered on the "mainland" because of possible erosion. The Island's graves were put into one (and I was informed possibly both) of the mainland cemeteries. I talked to a wonderful lady at the County Clerks Office (this was in 2000 when we were looking for my husband's Maternal GGrandmother) and she told me that those with family members had a choice which cemetery to have family members reentered. If there wasn't any family members, they were reentered at the cemetery closest to the island. I'm not sure which one that would be though. Evelynne

Dear Collene and List Members, I am responding to the entire list instead of just to Collene so my remarks will not be taken out of context, and you will know how I am responding to the comments posted to this list today. Collene first contacted me with dissatisfaction with the FGS site because she could not or did not want to type in her information and wanted us to redesign the site so all she and other researchers would have to do is upload. As I told her then, there are so many genealogical systems in use that to design one program that would allow even half of these systems to upload to the site is cost prohibitive. We would have to have the site professionally programmed to read the different family group sheets being uploaded by the many members of the list. To spend this type of money, the site would then have to charge to upload information and or to look at information. This would defeat the reasons that this site was designed, another free research tool for Oklahoma researchers. I also feel the need to comment on the lack of time being the reason that the site needs to be changed. I like everyone of you have many things going on in my world, but I find time to do the things important to me as each of you do and as the many many volunteers out there who give of their time designing sites, gathering information, surveying cemeteries, taking photos, uploading these surveys and photos, re-typing census records, obits, taking care of boards, answering questions do. Complaining at the way these volunteers give of this valuable time and information or that it caused you to spend time you don’t have to participate in it makes me wonder. The FGS site is a way for you to share you Oklahoma FGS with others researching Oklahoma lines. It is not perfect, and has some flaws, but it is the best we have at this point in time. I appreciate the many messages from those of you who have told us that you appreciate this site. To you, we say, it is because of you we designed it and it is because of you we spend the time it takes to add your date to it.

Thanks for the Information I have received. I know where this island is what I need to find out is if there are any Headstones or markers left there and where on the island they might be. I live about 4 hour from there and would like to go but if there is nothing there it would be a wasted trip. Thanks Janit I will be off line until Friday June 28,2002

Sam and Vernetta Elnore (Pense) had Roy and a daughter. They were born in Oklahoma probably around Tahlequah area. Roy married Opal Alexander and they lived in California. He had a sister who died many years ago here in California. Cannot think of her name just now except that her last name was Thomas. I think her first name was Viola or something like that. Roy and Opal had a daughter name Marti. Roy's mother died in 1910 in Oklahoma. I do not know when or where his Dad died.

We located an island south of Enville on the NW edge of Lake Texhoma in southern LOVE COUNTY. The map we have does not give a name for the island although there is a road on it. It is just NNW of the DELAWARE BEND in the Lake. It appears to be less than a mile from the Oklahoma shore. There is a church & cemetery just south of I-32 on the mainland as well.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UQ.2ADI/324 Message Board Post: If you have not had a chance, you might want to visit the Oklahoma Family Group Sheet web site and submit your FGS. http://www.rootsweb.com/~okfamgrp/fgs.htm We, Tammie and Bob Chada, Donna Dreyer, Linda Simpson and myself wish for this site to become another valuable tool for those looking for their Oklahoma Ancestors. We the researchers of Oklahoma history are fortunate to have so many resources to fall back on, The Oklahoma Survey and Virtual Cemetery website and the Saving Graves project, the Oklahoma USGenWeb Archives Project, (this includes the Indian Nation archives) as well as the Oklahoma AHGP Project, the OKGenWeb project, the Rootsweb Oklahoma Boards and and now the Oklahoma Family Group Sheet website.
