I have uploaded the images for the 1872 Disallowed Claims of the Southern Claims Commission for the states of: AL, AR, FL (3 or 4), GA, LA, MS, NC. I have still to scan & index the 72 Disallowed Claims for SC, TN, TX, and VA. Those states will consist of 69 images. The uploaded states, including NC, include 94 images and approx. 900 names. Hopefully I can get most of the remainder done this week but no guarantees. The URL for the site (contained within the brackets) is: [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~familyinformation/] The 1872 Index is listed under NEW. Users with smaller monitors will be happy to know that scrolling should not be an issue any longer as I scanned these to a smaller scale. I have also gone back and rescaled the 1871 images. Now to the "other stuff." Last weekend I went over to the genealogy library at Independence, MO to look through their fiches of the American Serial Set for some other research. While not finding exactly what I wanted, I did find some very interesting info on other subjects such as the Dartmoor Massacre and the Court of Inquiry for the sinking of the USS Huron off the NC coast during a storm. I copied the Dartmoor Massacre investigation and ran out of both change and time so wasn't able to copy the complete USS Huron file. I did get the casualty list which I will get online soon. Before scanning and OCR'g 55 pages of documents, I started looking on the Web for references. I did not find a transcribed version of the documents, however, I did find scanned images of the same. And as an added benefit, the site is supported by the Federal Government under the control of the Library of Congress (and who said the gov't wasted ALL of our money <grin>). This site, A Century of Law Making, U.S. Congressional Documents and Debates, is a treasure trove for the genealogist and historian. The URL is (again within the brackets): [http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/amlaw/lawhome.html] They have not included all the American Serial Set as of yet and I will send an email requesting information as to their plans and schedule for updating. I will keep you all informed as I gain information. That is it folks, sorry about being so long winded. Oh, as usual, if you have any issues with the SCC documents, send them to me directly so as not to clog up the list servers. Also, as usual, feel free to forward this email to any who you feel might be interested. Best of wishes, Billy
