Hi, My church has a time once a year when those "do not dump" products are collected. Remember we paid a fee for the recyling. The church gets money for the children's program from the drive. The best part is that the company guarantees that all hard drives will be ground up. They have been checked to see that they are doing that. When the computer won't work how does one use a cleaning program? You might want to check to see if this sort of thing is available in your area. Velma

Hi, In keeping with my stories that I put into my genealogy I am trying to find information on what my mom called a Fireless Cooker. They had them in the 1940s It was a oven size metal box with something like bricks (or heaven forbid asbestos) to retain the heat and keep the food cooking. When we went to church on Sunday we used it. My mom would brown the meat and it finished cooking the chicken or roast or whatever. We had dinner when we got home or shortly thereafter. There was no leaving the oven on while we were away like we do with crock pots now. I would like to find some information about it. I would especially like to find a picture of one and know what was used in the interior.I did hope that maybe someone had an old booklet tht went with one so that I could get a picture and information.

People will continue using what is affordable and useable to them. Cannot call support of Microsoft but someone in the '''neighborhood'' is always available. Or at least it is for me! I just destroyed the hard drive on a windows 95/98 so as to make certain no one will be able to '''read'' my information. But I continue to use Windows XP on "ole faithful - DELL" purchased in 2001/2002. I have the CD so can reinstall if need be.. Yes, I have downloaded all the patches and SP3 and have it downloaded as well. Have a Gateway with win XP and again, I "imaged' backed up the system plus the programs plus personal files. UPgraded to Vista. Same there, have performed a full '''image backup''' of the system and will continue using it till............................ Finally, have Windows 7, 64 Bit.. this computer came with Win 7, home premium.. and before I am able to use '''older programs as I used with windows xp or vista''' I must 1. do the image backup ''' to an external drive. 2. up grade to windows professional ( can do upgrade with total install of windows professional -- it removes all previous programs and files or simply upgrade which only upgrades the operating system... (that is what did), then I did the xp compatibality, and also a visual memory.. now I am able to use or utilize older programs as FTM 8-9 or 10 (my preferences), MS office 2007, Adobe elements ... etc. Thus saves me $$$ as need not buy ALL new programs! Remember, for all operating systems, buy an external drive and AFTER you do a total clean as with virus programs, ad aware programs, cleaners, etc.. making certain that your operating system is A-OK.. then do the image backup! keep it in safe spot as a safe!!! Use your older programs till.................................. Keep up with all trojan/adaware programs, virus programs, etc. do all maintenance necessary.. as disk defrag, disk scans etc. Gloria : > take your time and find a good computer like I did.

I was born in 1940 and remember everyone had a "roaster" that served that purpose but it had to be plugged in. My mother rarely cooked and in general just didn't have basic nesting instincts but we had a roaster.

not likely. Thailand's flood crippled the hard drive market so severly. It will take longer before W7 ones go on sale. David On 4/12/2012 6:17 PM, MScheffler wrote: > If you want to buy a Windows 7 machine, many models are likely on sale now > since Windows 8 will be coming up in the near future.

I see no reason to panic. You will still be able to use XP, but there will no longer be updates, pateches. I still have a computer with Windows 98 2nd ed. I have some genealogy software that won't run on later versions. So I use it occasionally, but I don't use if for the internet. If you want to buy a Windows 7 machine, many models are likely on sale now since Windows 8 will be coming up in the near future. But if XP works for you, stick with up and buy a Windows 8 machine when XP is no longer supported.

I'd rather use Linux, no worries about virus problems, run my windows stuff in wine, and I run a rolling release, no 6 month re-installs if you want the latest and greatest. And it's free.... -- jan www.bullocks.org

Hi everyone Is there any way to check estate records in various counties to see if Henry Fuller is mentioned in any Fuller estate records? We have him born in Washington county, living in Armstrong, married in Allegheny, died in Ohio. (Wife Mary Ann Rose was from Westmoreland county) Also I would like to try and find a Fuller on the 1840 Census which has a white male listed being around 16 years old. Would ancestry be the best place to look? Henry is listed as 26 on the 1850 census just has his birth place as Pennsylvania. So would be 16 ish on the 1840 Census Still trying to find his parents. Kind regards Dianna

I sent this reply directly to Diana, but after I sent it, thought I should send it to the list, too. I might add that I obtained Samuel’s name from the 1850 census. Diana, if you have a membership in with Ancestry, please go to the search tab, choose family history. I input Samuel Fuller, with Henry and Mary Ann as his parents and found a treasure trove of people who are researching Fuller. I chose the one labeled "Bohannon, McNicholas/Bird family tree and found someone who has submitted a bonanza of facts. I think you will be very happy with the results. >>>Hi everyone >>> Is there any way to check estate records in various counties to see if >>>Henry Fuller is mentioned in any Fuller estate records? >>>Henry is listed as 26 on the 1850 census just has his birth place as >>>Pennsylvania.

Can anyone explain why messages are now coming with this “from” address on them? I have sent out a couple of messages over the last two days and when I get a reply, that’s the return address. When I think I’m replying to the message that was posted, where is it going? I’m confused. is the person to whom I sent a message or reply getting his/her messages? Thanks, Lynn in Baltimore marylindsay1@comcast.net

CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENT ACTS 1790 AND 1796: The first naturalization law was passed March 26, 1790. Naturalization was an option, not a requirement. Prior to 1906 naturalization records were seldom uniform from one court to another and from one era to another. Furthermore these records were created by many different courts and now may be housed in many different repositories. While the rules for naturalization have changed, the basic format has generally been a two step process of "intent" followed by a final "petition", except for veterans of certain wars, who were allowed to do both at once. Minors residing here for five years prior to their 23rd birthday could also complete both steps at once between 1824 and 1906. Naturalization records were not collected by one single entity. A person could "declare intent" in one court and file "petition for citizenship" in a different court. To add to the complexity various courts kept records of differing detail. Some declarations of intent my contain some genealogical data such as original country or place of birth. These records may not contain details about family members. The courts holding naturalization records could be at the county, state or federal level. Children became citizens when their fathers did. Wives, until 1922, likewise became citizens when their husbands did. Further the names of wife and children may not be listed on either application. In general if you are not reasonably sure if, when and where a declaration might have been made, a search is likely to be time consuming and difficult. The order of the forms filed was Declaration of Intention, Petition for Naturalization, then if the test were successful they received there Naturalization Certificate and were citizens. The waiting period to file a Declaration was 1 or 2 years, the Petition was 5 years, then the test. If your family member was naturalized before September 1906, the records are at the courthouse in the county where they were naturalized. Now if your grandparents were married and he became naturalized before 1922, your grandmother would have automatically become a citizen. Any foreign born children would become citizens also. This was the law. If he was naturalized after 1922, then she would have had to file also. Modern Records: Starting in 1906, copies of naturalization papers were collected by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). These records include both immigration and naturalization records. They are more standardized than records of previous eras and include the names of spouses and children, whether they were citizens or not. INS immigration records date from 1897 onward. You can request these files directly. The form needed is G639 and can be requested from your local or regional Immigration and Naturalization Service office or by calling 1--800-870-3676. Verbal information can be sought at 202-514-2607. The more information you have the more likely your ancestor will be identified even if they were not naturalized. There is no cost for the INS record search. You will need to provide full name and address (or addresses) as a minimum. Further, critical dates, social security number, birthday and place of birth >will help insure a creditable search. The address of the Washington, D.C. INS office is: Immigration and Naturalization Service, 425 I (eye) Street NW > Washington, DC 20536. Most aliens became citizens within 10 years of the time they were eligible. Before 1906 the records were kept by federal, state and local courts. There is a book that summarizes these records on file for each state: "Locating Your Immigrant Ancestors: A Guide to Naturalization Records" by James C. and Lila Lee Negles. You can obtain this from Everton Publishers, Inc. or your local intra-library loan program. To become a citizen of the United States by Acts of 1790 and 1796, one had to live in the United States for 5 years and in the state or territory for one year; and had to make a Declaration of Intent three years prior to becoming a citizen. However, naturalization was not required, and many people lived their lives here without naturalization, or after making D of I, not continuing with the procedure. It was purely voluntary. It was not until 1906 that appearance in Federal Court was required - prior to that any court of record could naturalize. As to children, when the father was naturalized, his wife and children were automatically citizens. If a person had lived in the United States for at least 3 years prior to age of 21, he could apply for naturalization directly, without waiting to file the D. of I. A reference source for changes in laws is Gettys, Luella: The Laws of Citizenship in the United States 1934, University of Chicago Press, Chicago, Illinois. Remember, naturalization is voluntary and not all immigrants were/are naturalized. You find many naturalizations dated in the 1940's during WWII when many aliens had to be naturalized to stay in USA.

Dianne Thought I'd looked up the 1840 before, but don't see my notes. The short of this is that there is only: Isaac Fullers in Smith Twp, Washington County, PA in 1840. However, he has no males of that age, just one 30-39 and one under five. There are several in the other counties up the Ohio line, you can find them on Ancestry.com. Five in Allegheny Three in Armstrong -- including one in Sugar Creek and one in Kistiminetas -- which I think were your target areas? None of those have males in the correct age range. Suggest you review the rest of them. "Faller*" is an alternate reading of the name, by the way. As to the wills/probates/administrations, I found some for my gang in Erie by going to the Erie County Courthouse, but I don't know of a website with an index or anything.
