From: Cyndi Howells <cyndihow@oz.net> To: PSRoots-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Senate Passes Hatch Bill To Commemorate October 2001 As Family History Month http://hatch.senate.gov/pressapp/record.cfm?id=178829 Press Release of Senator Hatch SENATE PASSES HATCH BILL TO COMMEMORATE OCTOBER 2001 AS FAMILY HISTORY MONTH Contact: Christopher Rosch - 202.224.9851 Wednesday, September 26, 2001 WASHINGTON - By unanimous consent, the Senate today approved legislation introduced by Sen. Orrin G. Hatch to designate October as "Family History Month." "Millions of Americans are researching the history of their families," said the Utah Republican. "Experts say that in the United States, genealogy is now the second most popular hobby next to gardening. It is believed that more that 80 million Americans are currently actively searching for more information about their ancestors. "It is only natural that we want to find out more about our ancestors," Hatch continued. "What better way to bring families closer together than by discovering more about the story of their own family? Like it or not, who we are today is in large part, a product of our ancestors. Hatch's bill (S.R. 160), which was co-sponsored by Robert Bennett (R-Utah), commemorates October as Family History Month and encourages President Bush to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe the month of October with appropriate ceremonies and activities. "With the advent of the Internet, there has been an explosion of interest in family history," Hatch continued. "Last month alone, more than 14 million Americans used the Internet to research their family history. Genealogy Internet sites are some of the most popular sites on the World Wide Web. My church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has family history information on nearly 500 million individuals on its family history web site (www.familysearch.com)." "Essentially, we are all immigrants to this country. Our ancestors came from different parts of the globe," Hatch said. "By searching for our roots, we come closer together as a human family. S.R. 160 had 84 co-sponsors and was approved by unanimous consent. "Researching ancestry is a very important component of identity. It can lead to long-sought-after family reunions or allow for life saving medical treatments that only genetic links will allow," Hatch said. "For all of these reasons, I encourage people across this nation to find out more about where they came from."

Becky...it was hard to watch the Palestinians celebrating...especially the young children who surely had no real comprehension of what had happened. On our news tonight there was coverage of a group of people from Israel who got stranded here. Our city took them to a secluded camp 4 hours from here where they could stay in safety until they could leave. Wichita provided food, etc. The people were most grateful.

Yes, Peggy...we too heard that 800 died in the Pentagon attack. Earlier I had heard 100, so the 800 really surprised me. Sheridan "Peggy C. Wilson" wrote: > Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day. Did anyone hear the report > that 800 people lost their lives just in the Pentagon alone?

My husband has been at work all day other than a couple of hours when we had a meal. He manages a Murphy USA on Wal*Mart parking lot in Lancaster which is in south Dallas County. They are at $1.31 and have not gone up on gasoline but he anticipates a rise. He's had 3 people directing traffic since about 5 today. Customers have been telling him of people selling gas for $7.50/gal. He is nearly out and is waiting for a transport who was suppose to be there over an hour ago. A friend in Colorado said there were 3 police officers directing traffic when he and his wife stopped to buy a lotto ticket...they decided to go home! -- Peggy <'}}}}>< Winton Family Homepage http://www.geocities.com/mawpeggy1946/index.html
