REMINDER: SGS CIG shows "Digital Toys for Genealogy" on 10 Nov 2001 The November 2001 meeting of the Computer Interest Group of the Seattle Genealogical Society offers you gift ideas in time for the coming Holiday Season. Specifically, our members will share their experiences, good and bad, with digital products that can be used to aid your genealogical research. We are planning to have three different digital cameras and examples of some genealogical applications for them. There will be a demonstration of the use of a digital video camera for genealogy. There will be two different scanning tools presented: (1) a pen scanner and (2) a flatbed scanner adapted to scanning microfilm, like census images. Remember our Genealogy Search booth last July at the Heritage Festival in Marymoor Park? Come and see how pictures from a digital camera and a neat software product have been combined to create a three-dimensional digital photo album of our booth. In April 2002 we will show you how to use this software to create your own digital photo albums on a CD. You are invited to bring your own "digital toys" to share with us. Please respond to this message with your idea so that we can plan the program more effectively. As time permits we will share announcements, questions and answers, and successes and failures with each other on topics brought by members. MEETING LOCATION at SGS OFFICE and LIBRARY!!! We will meet Saturday, November 10th, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the new office and library of the Seattle Genealogical Society.

The Seattle TMG Users Group will meet Saturday, November 10, from 2:30-4:30 p.m., at the Broadview Branch of Seattle Public Library, N. 130th and Greenwood Ave. N. These meetings are not sponsored by SPL, so please find parking on the side streets, not in the Library's parking lot. Metro also serves the area (Route #5, downtown Seattle/Shoreline Community College, and Route #302, Northgate Park & Ride). Census records will be the main topic of this month's meeting. We'll first go around the room and invite self-described "new" users of TMG to ask questions of the "experts", if any experts are present.<g> After the Q&A, I will give a brief summary of issues surrounding census records as source material, using a variety of examples as props. Then we'll (1) examine the various default census source templates, (2) perhaps create new ones, (3) enter a new family (parents, siblings, possible grandparents and other relatives) using a series of census records as the sources of birth, relationship, and other data, (4) attach (as exhibits to census events) pictures and/or transcripts of the actual census records, (5) print (on the screen) a report showing the census sources cited in footnotes/endnotes, (6) etc. Everyone interested in TMG is welcome! There will be a handout, so please RSVP [to [email protected]] to help us prepare enough copies.

Good Morning, I wish to sincerely thank each of you fellow researchers who took the time to respond and to provide such outstanding information on the subjects of Nero and Lilburn Pilkenton. With your help, I think the mystery of Nero of Doty, WA is now solved. It does appear that he is indeed my Great Uncle. More importantly, that being true, it essentially ties all the people in SW VA with the Pilkenton name together. Lilburn's history is yet another challenge, but with the continued support of folks like you I think in time the answers will be uncovered. Thanks again. Happy Hunting!

Happy Hallowe'en, though this may not arrive at your door on this auspicious occasion - Oct. 31, 2001. The "ghosts" of the Oxford Tavern on 1st St, or Main St. in Snohomish are in the news again. And my friend, Catherine McMurchy, librarian for many years - 1923 - 1939 at Snohomish Library is in the news again as a ghostly apparition that "some" see or have "experienced" according to some of the news articles that have been written on the subject. Funny though, we "kids" who knew Catherine McMurchy from the mid 1920s 'til she retired haven't heard of her ghostly activities until "newcomer" began writing and telling stories about it. Same thing with the Oxford Tavern which was familiar to us, but it was only detected among the "latecomers" that "Madame Kate" & her crew began "occupying" the place. Is it possible that we "old timers" that used to be kids don't have the "awareness" to detect this phenomena? Anyway, read on two articles that apply to Snohomish "g h o s t s" "dicovered" in more recent times by people who have "awareness" and who are young enough to "recall" such phenomena: Ref The HERALD, Everett WA Date: WedOct 31, 2001 Local Section Page(s) B1, B2 http://heraldnet.com/search/ Article: Library's whost may be dispirited By Leslie Moriarty, Herald Writer Box gives www.heraldnet.com/ghostcam a 24hr camera that hopes to capture Catherine McMurchy's apparition on her rounds among the stacks even tho' it has been over 64 yrs since she did so living. Read about someone who knew her, her sister Anna and the McMurchy family tells of her memories. Since the McMurchy sisters were also friends of mine, and came to see me when I was ill over a long seige with T.B., I need to contact this person and compare notes with her on the McMurchys. Also, I need to contact Mike Malone who has had a keen interest in the McMurchy phenomena. Also, I need to discuss with him the mix up in pictures in the Herald that were meant to be pix of Catherine McMurchy, when they were actually pix of her sister, Anna. These discrepencies need to be clarified along with a few other mixed identities that appeared in articles related to the Snohomish Library and the articles related to the "ghostly' phenomena that is supposed to be residing there. * * * 30 * * * Then there is the story about the man who has a ghost detector, or buster, called a "tri-field natural electric-magnetic field meter" a mouthful of phenomena for anyone to swallow. Tri=3; 3 field, natural electric-magnetic field. Well lodestone has natural magnetic qualities and therefore fields of magnetism as all magnets, natural or man-made have. How the "meter" indicates this and what those 3 fields are unless they are of 3 directions - I'm baffled, but in these times, why shouldn't we be. Just watching the media will do that for you ! So, "make no mistake!" + "here we go again" : Ref The HERALD, Everett WA Date: Wed Oct 31, 2001, Local Section Page(s) B1, B2 http://heraldnet.com/search/ Article: Who you gonna call? This ghost buster takes chasing apparitions seriously, bu7t he's not in it for the money. By Kate Reardon, Herald Writer A box included in the article give information under the title "Credentials of a ghost buster" including websites for American Ghost Society www.prairieghosts.com/ags.html Ghost Research Society www.ghostresearch.org/ Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims if the Paranormal http://www.csicop.org for skeptics, and debunking such thinking and phenomena. COMMENT: This article gives separate advice for what to do "If you see a ghost". * * * 30 * * * Now am I a believer in ghosts? Not so far - I just put that all up on the "shelf" for further evidence. There is a Clark (my Line) built house back in Southington, CT that is supposed to be haunted or occupied by several ghosts, of which one is a young girl who moves things in that 1720/30 house on Meriden Ave, formerly Clark Road SE of town. People who know the place are fearful of it; or they are highly interested in it. I have seen that house but I haven't seen it at nite, and I guess ghosts don't appear very well in the daytime. * * * 30 * * * Come to think of it the media hype is rather spooky at times - as the questions fly, and the answers are likewise mysterious. Genealogically speaking, we are sometimes "in the dark" but there is one thing we know: "They Want to be Found !" Good Hunting ! Carroll in Snohomish - where the Spirits were kept - Prohibition - in the Sand and Gravel Pit, and distributed among the tombstones of Snohomish Cemetery ! And that is the Truth ! &

Kudos to Jim Pearson and Ron Bestrom for their responses to the query about Ralph Huse's estate. Very good suggestions and research AND very informative for other researchers.

Jim, A big thank you for all of your suggestions. Ralph did have several distant relatives in St. Louis, but they were not interested in going through any paper work for the few dollars involved when contacted at the time of Ralph's death. Their recollections are vague at best. Ralph's grandfather and mine were brothers, so the photographs, if any, would be my only interest. Am trying to contact the funeral home that handled the arrangements of Ralph's parents, but they were too busy to answer my inquiry so will try once again. There was no obituary, only a death notice. One article was written in the News Tribune about his death. Thanks again - you have added many avenues to explore. Laura James Pearson wrote: > Hi Laura: I am an attorney in Eugene, Or.
