We've developed a number of those things with 5,000 to 300,000 subscribers, and every time a post drops we kick the daylights out of the list server with hundreds or even thousands of bounces.

Here is the homepgae to the url sent before... This has records from all over the US.... http://www.doitnow.com/~moravia/census.html Connie

Here is a site that may be of interest to some other researchers..We all know that our families seemed to move around a lot in E. Tn..This site has some records available.. http://www.doitnow.com/~moravia/tn.html

As I do not live in Tennessee, nor do I have access to this type of info...Is there anyone out there that can help this person?? Connie

Home-page Snoops Does your family have a home page on the internet? If so, you ,might want to reconsider how much personal information you post online. Con artists who steal other's identities, get credit in their names, then leave innocent people with a mountain of debt to fight and ruined credit to clean up are discovering the charms of the NET. Old fashioned techniques like wading thru Dumpsters for discarded credit-card receipts take time. These days, a savvy thief can hack into an INTERNET service provider's subscriber list and lift credit-card numbers by the thousands. Databases full of sensitive have been inadvertantly left open in cyberspace. And some online outfits peddle sensitive information, without regard to privacy, despite Federal Trade Commission scrutiny last year that encourages many to limit how they sell services like looking up Social Security numbers. Meanwhile, thousands of netizens are unknowingly making it easier for the thieves to steal their identities by posting individual home pages, family genealogies, and resumes. Sure, there's no harm in posting photographs of Morris or Fido. And only the foolish post a Social Security number on a Web site. But many pages are packed with the sort of details identity theives crave: full names, birth dates, birthplaces, addresses, occupations, degrees, phone numbers. With the click of a mouse, a thief has a personal dossier at his fingertips. Think about it. A name, birth date, and birth place will get you a birth certificate, and a driver's license is not far behind. The drivers license, unfortunately, has become a de facto ID, says Beth Givens, director of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse in San Diego. It's the key to all sorts of financial services, and it propels a thief closer to the magic number: the Social Security number. MOM"S MAIDEN NAME: Some family tree tracer's place details like a mother's maiden name online. That's often a common password for credit-cards and bank accounts. The internet isn't a toy. Your home page may have hooked you up with a long- lost friend or relative, but it can also put you at risk. While the internet is a wonderful tool for genealogists, think again before jeopardizing the privacy of your relatives. Okay..There is more...but this gives us an idea of what is being said and done...This info did cause me to go back and delete info from my online site..I would love to put all my genealogy online, but this article tells us basically..BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU REVEAL... Now, I don't have a clue if this stealing of identities is a common problem, I just found the article to be sensible...As much as I love genealogy, I wouldn't want some hacker to have my personal info..Made me realize I had too much info on the WEB..Just something to think about...

My gt.grandparents, Abraham and Mary Ann LONDON YORK, are buried in the cemetery of the Bethel Methodist Church. I thought maybe some of you who have lived in Bradley Co. all your lives might know whether or not records from that now defunct church still exist. I called the archivist of the Holston Conference, who is at Emory and Henry Univ. in VA. She was not able to find any information on the church. She suggested that possibly another church was formed when Bethel closed (anyone know when that was?) and that the records might be at that church. I would be grateful for any information or suggestions. Barbara Dooley Cullowhee, NC

The East Tennessee Historical Society is adding the first of a new series of pages to its website. Tonight we have added the first part of a new page highlighting some of the most frequently asked questions about the First Families of Tennessee program. The new page located at http://www.korrnet.org/eths/fftfaq.htm currently includes descriptions of the types of sources and documents most commonly used in proving membership eligibility in the First Families of Tennessee program, as well as links and snail mail addresses for various offices such as the Tennessee Department of Health's Office of Vital Records. Additional information will be added regularly in order to assist people researching their membership eligibility for the East Tennessee Historical Society's First Families of Tennessee heritage program. We hope this information is helpful to you. Sincerely, Shane S. Rhyne, Public Relations Coordinator East Tennessee Historical Society P.O.
