Dear List Members,. I receive over 25 requests a day from members from all of the lists I take care of asking me to unsubscribe them. Please take a moment and check out Password Central so you will know how to take care of this yourselves if the need arises. Go to http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions. (type in your e-mail address, click on "Mailing lists: To which lists am I subscribed?" and don't forget to click on SEND at the bottom of the screen). You will receive an e-mail within moments that will provide you a list of all Rootsweb lists you belong to. From this e-mail you can unsubscribe yourself from any list you wish. I know there are times you will need me to help like when you loose an e-mail address before you have a chance to unsubscribe. Know that I am here for you and you only need to ask. But for your general unsubscribing please use the above link or just send the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the same manner you SUBSCRIBED to the list. I appreciate your support and thank each of you for helping to make this list the success it is. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Dear List Members, Here it is the first of July and I am late in sending you the Second Quarterly Report. I was in Maryland and Delaware enjoying three of my children their spouses and five of my grandchildren for the 4th of July. Due to the lateness of this report I am not going to send the individual numbers of members for each of the lists I take care of. It is an all day job. If any of you really want to know how many are on your list, just e-mail me at [email protected] and ask. Be sure and let me know what list you are asking about. If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller’s Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to [email protected] not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. If someone posts a message to the list that should not have been posted, please just delete it. Know that I am taking care of the problem. If you post your unhappiness, then you just continue on the problem. I know it is hard when your heart has been offended, but for my sake, and the sake of the list, please just delete it. Rootsweb has a wonderful Spam Detective and it stops most of it. You should see what comes across my screen. I have to look at each of them to make sure that what was stopped was truly Spam. Once in a while, one slips by though and if this happens, just delete it and go on with what we all love, genealogical research. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 4. The wonderful relationship that develops between list members is also one of a Mailing Lists Problems. I encourage you to respond to the entire list with genealogical responses, you never know who your response will help. In the same thought I would like to ask you to not respond to the entire list with personal responses. Such as, the first message from a member says "Happy Birthday Mary" and then Mary says "Thank you” and then about 60 of our members also send "Happy Birthday Mary". This is what I mean by personal messages. Just keep in mind anything is ok to be posted as long as it has to do with the subject of the list. I know there are exceptions to most rules including this one. If you have a doubt ask me. [email protected] 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now the hardest thing is when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting, something I have done or not done. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at [email protected] or in the evenings at [email protected] Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at [email protected] I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me. Kathleen Burnett List Mom [email protected]

Subject: Cemetary Search event. A wonderful event that occured at Hale, Carroll County, Missouri, while visiting a family, now the County, cemetary. This would be of interest especially to the Jameson, Jamison, Beach, Nelson researchers. But I hope all will read it. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Some new found relatives of my mother and I just visited a very interesting cemetary recently. Just a few miles from me but quite a drive for them. They had planned on going there, but when we found each other, we got right together. Have to tell you this story about it. County seat is a short main street in this small town. I got there first and was at a gas station trying to get directions to the cemetary and I called it the Jamison Cemetary as my gggrandfather James W. Jamison had given the land for it many years ago. Not knowing that it was the county cemetary now. So when my new found uncle and his wife, a very good geneologist, came into town, they came over and we finally decided to go to that one. Well, it was the one we were looking for. And the guys at the station had called the cemetary keeper, and while we were looking, and had found our ancesters, the caretaker and family showed up. Really nice folks and had a list of everyone buried there etc etc., and as we were visiting and talking about the property, she said, that there used to be a small pond adjacent to the cemetary, then she recalled that her young son had been there a long time ago fishing and she remembered that he had found a small headstone in the caretakers shanty that was there then. He had taken it home to find out what to do with it, but since all the folks with that surname were gone, she had just put it in the barn. She sent her son after it and he brought it to us to see and it was an infant of our family!!!!! So they asked us what we wanted to do with it and the very large headstone of our oldest relative, who had given the land, was standing there. I said, well, we will just place it right here behind her grandfather! All agreed, and he gave me a shovel and I set the small stone there and felt very good about it and we all celebrated the event that had happened there while searching the cemetaries! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Isn't that a story for you? Oh, I do love geneology, especially when it gets PERSONal.... instead of people - al!!! Blessings. Bill McDonald [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) footnote: I am having at least two bypasses and some stints implanted next week. Had the "baloons" seven years ago. Getting serious now!

Dear List Members, 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.
