Hi...I just recapped your article on cut and paste which I have been doing with different program tips that I am subscribing to. Saves a lot not having to print everything, doesn't it. My question......I figure it is right in front of me, but when printing, the margins on the page are so narrow on the left side and I like to keep some of these tips, e-mails, etc., in notebooks and I cannot find where or how to change margins on AOL. Anything you could suggest would be helpful. I think I have a 1/4" now and that is far too small for punching holes and reading that particular line with the hole in it. Thanks for the other tip and for this one if you can help. Jeanne jlinc12317@aol.com

The Wonders of "Click, Drag, Highlight, Copy & Paste." Here is the MOST USEFUL TIP I know to share with an online genealogy researcher: You can easily transfer information between your e-mail program, your Web browser and your word processing program. This approach is of great value to the family history researcher who is continually gathering information. - Here is How it Works: - Make sure that you know how to use your mouse to "Click, Drag, and Highlight" a word, sentence, paragraph of text or a whole page of text. This is the same method you probably already use with your word processing program. This selects or "highlights" the text. You can CUT or COPY the text. If there is a "pull down menu" on your word processor, Web browser or e-mail program - this option is usually under the "Edit" section of that menu. You MUST learn how to COPY and PASTE text: If you are using MS-Windows and do NOT have a pull down menu to go to. You can COPY by highlighting the text and hitting the "Control-C" keys. Then you can PASTE the text by hitting the "Control-V" keys. This is critical to know because you can use the "Click, Drag, Highlight, Copy & Paste" trick to help you with your genealogy research while you are on the Internet. - Here are more examples of why this is practical to know: - -You see a Web page mentioned list letter that you want to go see. Highlight and copy that address. If you are using MS-Windows it is now on an unseen "clipboard." Minimize your e-mail program and simply PASTE that address in the appropriate area of your Web browser and never type a single letter of gibberish! -You are on the WWW and see a few paragraphs of information that you want to save. Forget about saving the whole Web page. Highlight and copy the text - minimize your Web browser and pull up your e-mail program. Choose to send a new message and paste the text within the body of the e-mail message. Address it to yourself and save it. This is a great data collecting method. -You have some information that you have been gathering and pasting into an e-mail message. Now you want to get it to your word processor. Highlight and copy the text - minimize your e-mail program and start your word processing program and simply paste the text. You may have to "clean it up a bit," then save it. -You have a lengthy e-mail message to send and you want to make sure that it is spelled correctly. Write your letter in your word processor, use the spell check and get it how you want. Highlight and copy the text. Then minimize your word processing program and open up your e-mail program. Paste the letter in the body of the e-mail message. Once you get the hang of this you will be a "dangerous on-line researcher." Take the time to try it. Learn how to do this. You will save time and have less frustration. Get a friend to help if you have trouble. Nadine Wilson Hensley list owner

The first three digits indicate the state shown in the mailing address on the original application. The lowest Social Security numbers were assigned to the New England states, and the numbers grew progressively higher in the South and West. However, in recent years, this geographical relationship has been disrupted somewhat by the need to allocate numbers out of sequence as state populations change. The middle two digits of a Social Security number have no special significance, but merely serve to break the numbers into blocks of convenient size. The last four digits represent a straight numerical progression of assigned numbers." Here are the codes: 000 - Unused 001 - 003 NH 004 - 007 ME 008 - 009 VT 010 - 034 MA 035 - 039 RI 040 - 049 CT 050 - 134 NY 135 - 158 NJ 159 - 211 PA 212 - 220 MD 221 - 222 DE 223 - 231 VA 232 - 236 WV 237 - 246 NC 247 - 251 SC 252 - 260 GA 261 - 267 FL 268 - 302 OH 303 - 317 IN 318 - 361 IL 362 - 386 MI 387 - 399 WI 400 - 407 KY 408 - 415 TN 416 - 424 AL 425 - 428 MS 429 - 432 AR 433 - 439 LA 440 - 448 OK 449 - 467 TX 468 - 477 MN 478 - 485 IA 486 - 500 MO 501 - 502 ND 503 - 504 SD 505 - 508 NE 509 - 515 KS 516 - 517 MT 518 - 519 ID *Guam, American Samoa 520 WY Northern Mariana Islands, 521 - 524 CO Philippine Islands 525 NM 526 - 527 AZ 528 - 529 UT 530 NV 531 - 539 WA 540 - 544 OR 545 - 573 CA 574 AK 575 - 576 HI 577 - 579 DC 580 VI Virgin Islands 581 - 584 PR Puerto Rico 585 NM 586 PI Pacific Islands* 587 - 588 MS 589 - 595 FL 596 - 599 PR Puerto Rico 600 - 601 AZ 602 - 626 CA 627 - 699 Unassigned, for future use 700 - 728 Railroad workers through 1963; then discontinued 729 - 899 Unassigned, for future use. 900 - 999 Not valid SSNs, but were used for program purposes when state aid to the aged, blind and disabled was converted to a federal program administered by SSA.

Hello: To spruce up my little "All German" family tree, I am researching the following surnames in the hope to find a few "missing links" and dates: Paternal (All in Pommern): BECKER, ULRICH, DREIFKE, ABRAHAM, SCHROEDER, KLATT, GROSSE, DREWANZ, TESSIN, SCHMEDBERG, KORTSTOCK. Maternal (All in Ostpreussen): BETHKE, GRENZ, ROHRER, KROHN, SCHMERBERG, MOHR, DOERK, NEUBAUER, BURBLIESZ. I do not have much, but if you think that some of my ancestors may fit into your own family tree, please let me know and I will give you names and dates. You are welcome to use them. On the other side, if you think you can help me, I would appreciate hearing from you. Thank You! Karl-Heinz Becker
