The 1930 census page I'm looking at on Ancestry is too faded so I tried to get it on Heritage Quest. The year is 1930; roll is 560 and page is 3B. Heritage Quest is not finding page 3B. Entering in just "3" takes me to Sangamon County, IL. I want Browning, Schuyler County. The family is that of Dolla [Dollie] M Venters. Does anyone know how I can access this page on Heritage Quest? Thanks, Barton Lewis

Barbara..here is a tidbit of information I just found out the hard way. I needed information from a message I sent back in February 2012 and was I surprised to find Comcast/Xfinity deleted my sent folder. I now only have sent files from June on! Hubby and I did not realize there was a setting in the Preferences (top of your e-mail screen) that you MUST change or it will delete your e-mails!! So check your preferences while you are at it.. I would agree to download all your e-mail onto your computer and do not keep it on Xfinity/Comcast site.. I use Microsoft Outlook! Sandy _______ Subject: ROOTS Digest, Vol 7, Issue 219 1.

Hi Brenda, Love to share See My Web Page. Part I, related families As I recall, in some families, I did not include all the children. I told myself that I should put the whole thing on, but have never gotten around to it. I also have an Estes family here in town that I am trying to make connections with. If you don't find what you want, send me what you have and I will look at the complete family

Like I said I would upload last night - here they are! Index of Testators: NY - New York co. Vol. 106-110 (1848-1854) 661 records NY - Westchester Vol. 27-31 (1843-1850) 320 records) PA - Washington Vol 1-5 (A-D surnames only) 1782-1840) 496 records PA - Westmoreland vol. 2 (1788-1839) 690 records Probate Files (aka Surrogate's Files) Maine - Aroostook (1837-1915) 1291 records (18 July 2012) A-C Surnames only.

Isn't that what I said? Although there are others I suggested Thunderbird as I believe its better than the rest From what Barbara was saying it sounded as if she was using web based mail and not getting on with it , she is not alone as I can't stand it either Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 18/07/2012 16:07, JYoung6180@aol.com wrote: > Not necessarily.

Hi Barbara I am not familiar with Comcast / Xfinity but assume its web mail ? My suggestion would be to use something like Thunderbird for our email Once set up it will download your mail onto your computer, where you can sort it, colour code it or reorganise it into folders if desired (it can also put designated mails into their own folders if desired) You can still look at your web mail if you wanted to but generally you would have no need to In Thunderbird you could sort the mails you want to keep and sift out those you want to delete <http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_accounts_in_Thunderbird_for_popular_email_providers> Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 18/07/2012 14:16, Barbara Young wrote: > > Hi Listers, > > I am in a terrible mess with my email folders in Comcast/Xfinity. > I came to comcast because it was the only thing available where I live - fibre optics is on the way - so they say/ > I had Prodigy/Yadoo where I stored emails I wanted to keep.

Hi David, I wanted to search for my ancestors in Westmoreland and Washington Counties when I saw this email but I don't understand how to use your site. Do you provide an index of names for the counties you list for a particular record type? When I clicked on "Wills" I did not then find a clickable link to those two counties with a list of names.

They are working as ever as before. To browse: Click blue links all the way. Never any other color on the site. Blue is default color. "Wills" a. "More counties/States' (always below the listing of volumes) b. "Pennsylvania" c. "Washington" or "Westmoreland" d. "A-D" or "A-Z" e. read the lists. Otherwise, please clear cache in your browser. (I just checked report from site visitors page, lot of visitors are making their way there without much problem.) Sometime tonight I will add Westchester County, NY, New York County and Aroostock co Maine. Have patience.

Hi Listers, I am in a terrible mess with my email folders in Comcast/Xfinity. I came to comcast because it was the only thing available where I live - fibre optics is on the way - so they say/ I had Prodigy/Yadoo where I stored emails I wanted to keep. If I wanted something on the far end of the list I could scroll to it. Easy as that and when I found what I wanted , the cursor would remain there unless otherwise moved. Well, Not so with comcast!!! I didn't realize what it was really doing until it was too late. When an email arrived and I didn't know wherther to delte it or not, I left it alone and would periodiclly go through to delete or keep. I then realized that the in box was getting very filled and I would spend hours with it - I could look at only 50 at a time and each time I read one one to consider, it defaulted back to the first. The problem is now huge, and I mean HUGE 0 I have about 5000 in my inbox. If someone has comcast/Xfifnityy and knows what I am talking about , I would love to hear from you. I have spent hours taking to the tech and they know nothing. It has been an ongoing problem for nearly 3 years/ THank you so very much Desperate in MA Barbara :}

You said you were not familiar with Comcast and assumed...I have Comcast so I was stating how I know it to work. Joan In a message dated 7/18/2012 11:12:09 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, ovington1@sky.com writes: Isn't that what I said?

Not necessarily. You can use any email client (Windows Mail or any other) to download your Comcast mail. OR you can go online and use it as Web based email. It works like any other ISP.

And I just assumed Barbara has never organized her email into folders other than "inbox."

Thanks to all who helped out with the great ideas and documents for John BUCK. I have found my answer! I also found new ways to research other Civil War ancestors! Thanks again!

Hi Diane I assume you mean Llangammarch in Wales ? Usually a quick google for the place name followed by the word Genuki elicits the facts but not in this case Another ploy is the words Registration District followed by the place name but again its a no So looking at the 1871 census for Llangammarch for a child born in 1871 finds several but Margaret VEST fits the bill for this purpose She was registered under the registration district of Builth It does look like the Civil Parish of Llangammarch straddles a County border but would expect registrations to be in Builth Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 17/07/2012 17:43, Diane Sodden wrote: > Please could some kind soul kindly advise me as to the register district of the above name in 1871 do you think? > > Thanks very much. > > Diane

Please could some kind soul kindly advise me as to the register district of the above name in 1871 do you think? Thanks very much. Diane Sent from my iPad

The Mahoning list gave me the answer that while my 2Xggf naturalized in 1869 there would be no mention of where in England he came from (Wales actually *G*) Very upsetting when that was pretty much the last place to find his birth place.
