I think that one of the reasons that the CC list is more active (and more interesting!) than the others is that one replies automatically to the whole list, rather than the sender. On several other lists I have posted questions and get no reply. Other people probably figure that "somebody else" has replied. Replying to the whole list leads to interesting discussions. The lists I subscribe to where one replies only to the sender are almost completely dead. Perhaps the recent slow down also has to do with the weather improving?? Cathi
There has been some talk on one of the State Coordinator lists about how dead the county email lists are. I know I am subscribed to about 7 of them in 3 states and they are all dead. Even Cameron County which was never all that busy, has been dead of late. Someone suggested to ask for input to see if we could figure out what is going on. Are you no longer using the email lists as part of your research? Are the recent virus' effecting the way you use emails? Any other reasons? Is there anything you would like to see done differently? I know that in my personal experience, the Email lists were the main source of finding information about my family lines and the most useful source of information in breaking through brick walls. Now I see email lists that once generated 20-30 emails a day are now down to 1 post every two weeks. Your comments would be appreciated and useful.

The meeting was well attended with over 30 people! Thanks to those of you who attended! The Board of Directors decided to have all future Board Meetings open to the public do to the response at this meeting. A reminder that the Genealogy Club will meet tomorrow at 1:00 PM at the Library. Guest speaker will be Glenn Gutsell who captured the attention of several people with what he brought last night. One thing of interest that I saw was a copy of the Driftwood Independent newspaper from the 1800's. I do not think that the Society has a copy of one! See You there!

Is the Thomas Cleary listed in the records related? Maybe there is a family plot with unmarked graves???

I just inherited (in the bottom of a cedar chest) a Japanese Flag from World War II. On this flag are the names of 56 men that I imagine were in my father's division during this particular time in the Army. While most of the names are legible, some are very faint.

Matt, I have the same massive three ring binders that you do with all the same information. I keep mine by major family branch with indexed tab dividers for each sibling's family on a particular branch with a master index from my genealogy program in the front. My master index is a detailed decadency master tree for each major branch plus a master list of all individuals in the database. I also keep two copies of my electronic file - including email notes, scanned documents and photos, and a copy the master genealogy software program on CDs. I save all email notes with valuable information in nested folders arranged by major family branch and sibling on that branch. Everyone does this a little different to suit what works best for them. I keep one set of these back-up CDs in my home (in case of a computer crash or virus problem) and the second set in my bank safety deposit box. I also share a GEDCOM file of my database with 2 of my cousins who I collaborate with on our trees. [We are good about making copies of original (scanned, photocopied, sometimes hand-copied) documents for one another and adding detailed research notes and complete source references for each of the entries in our record "just in case" we lose an original document or correspondence.] I update my "insurance" back-up copies of the electronic file after each major work session by replacing the older CDs with newer ones with the most current file and then recycling the old CDs. [I admit I only update the back-up safety deposit box copy only about every 2-3 weeks -- ususally when I'm doing other banking business. I figure I can remember who I talked to or corresponded with in the prior 2-3 week period before the most current update if I lost the most current work.] If you don't have a safety deposit box, another good place to keep personal copies (besides at a relative or friend's home or in your locker or workstation at work] is in a specific spot in the trunk of your car (don't use the glove box - too accessible if your car is even broken into or the kids are rummaging through the glovebox). At home, it's also a good idea to keep your copies of your back-up discs or CDs and certain irreplaceable originals in a fire-proof, security records box - available for not a lot of money at any major discount department store or superstore like BJ's, Wholesale or Costco or Walmart. Also, take care in picking your storage spot at home - you want someplace where the kids can't get at them or you and/or the spouse won't inadvertently misplace them while housecleaning, etc. I've worked as a disaster recovery manager for my Company for the past 15 years and these are all classic back-up storage methods for "valuable papers and records". Trust this helps.
