MS Office - Excell will put the items in order and webpages can be created straight from the list. I use it for my cemetery pages. -- Lynn Appling McCandless Please visit my webpages: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~lynn/ send mailto:lynnintx@texas.net

WP's is fairly sophisticated too--you can do multiple levels, alpha or alphanumeric, alphabetize on things other than the first word (e.g., like the second word in each line or the last word, etc.). I use the Mac version, but I'm sure the Windows version will do at least this and probably more. -- - --------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Charles A.

I got this from another list....... YOU KNOW YOU'RE TAKING GENEALOGY TOO SERIOUSLY IF... You are the only person to show up at the cemetery research party with a shovel. To put the 'final touches' on your genealogical research, you've asked all of your closest relatives to provide DNA samples. You were instrumental in having 'non-genealogical' use of the genealogy room copy machine classified as a federal hate crime. Your house leans slightly toward the side where your genealogical records are stored. You decided to take a two-week break from genealogy, and the U. S. Post Office immediately laid off 1,500 employees. Out of respect for your best friend's unquestioned reputation for honesty and integrity, you are willing to turn off that noisy surveillance camera while she reviews your 57 genealogical notebooks in your home. The armed security guard, however, will remain. During an ice storm and power outage, you ignore the pleas of your shivering spouse and place your last quilt around that 1886 photograph of your dear Great-Uncle George. Ed McMahon, several TV cameras and an envelope from Publishers Clearing House arrive at your front door on Super Bowl Sunday, and the first thing you say is, "Are you related to the McMahons of Ohio?" 'A loving family' and Financial Security' have moved up to second and third place, respectively, on your list of life's goals, but still lag far behind 'Owning My Own Microfilm Reader'. A magical genie appears and agrees to grant your any one wish, and you ask that the 1890 census be restored. JOYOUS

Hi folks, One of my sons sends my horoscope every day...for some reason this one made me laugh out loud. Find other confused people and stick with them. There may be clarity in numbers. Nancy

Thanks a bunch Chip. Works took care of my problem.

Is there a program that will alphabetize lists? If so, I sure need it! Vicki

Chip! I'm with you when it comes to books. We recently had a book organization weekend. The paper backs, that is. Ended up taking about 12 big boxes to used book store. They were what I call "wall bangers". (The kind you finish and throw against the wall because you're mad you wasted your time reading it) The rest we organized by authors........the ones we will reread. Since we're talking about books, I'll have to tell you about some of mine. My grgrandfather from Gibson Co. TN had two daughters that were old maid school teacher's in Bowie, Texas. Annie the older was teacher, principal and even superintendent of a school system. Anyway after the last died, most of their things were tossed. But quite a collection of books were left. My father took some (and I have all those now) and the rest ended up in his sister's attic. My cousin recently sold their house and gave me a whole truck load of them. There is a set of 1900 Encyclopedias. Plus a 45 book set of "World's Greatest Literature". I have very old copies of about every classic you imagine. A couple of interesting ones: The Poems of Ossian.....Boston:Phillips, Sampson & Company, 110 Washington ST. 1850 gorgeous book......red embossed with gold The Road to Heaven -Christianity - Paganism by Rev. Waldo Messaros 1888 it's a huge book also embossed in brown with silver The poems book says on the first page in very nice handwriting "The Property of B. Franklin Dickens bought Feb 20th, 1851 Price one dollar". I looked at the 1850 Gibson census and found him. He must have sold it to my Wilson's and it ended up in Texas. (either that or they stole it) I truly would not take any amount of money for these books and display them in the living room bookcases. I only hope they will mean something to my daughter and she'll keep them in the family. But then she's not a reader. We made some other great finds in his parents attic but I won't go into it. But the books are a treasure to me. We read constantly.

About alphabetizing....ME TOO!!! Post to the list. I thought I had found a way to alphabetize my list of favorites at one time, but now I can't find it. I'm running Windows 95. Pat

There used to be a program put out by Compuworks called List Manager. it did all sorts of stuff like that. It sold for $9.95 and was sold at WalMart. I'll tell you a little trick I use though.

Hey! That's a great page. I like your Coal Mines section. It will be a big help to people who knew their grandfather worked in a mine but didn't know where it was! I have been inspired once again to add something like that to my Union County page! A Tennessee mine page might not be a bad idea either. I have a friend that has researched and documented most of the old marble, zinc, limestone, and coal mines in East Tennessee, I might be able to blackmail him to help me. You know, it never ceases to amaze me how many ideas I get from you all when you show us your pages! Lloyd, you have a great page there. Any page that makes it's reader's think and then branch out to discover on their own such as your's has done to me, is a wonderful and very useful asset to both Tennessee and the USGenWeb! Keep up the good work! Chip

One activity that's just as common in the South and Tennessee as frying pans and hog lard, is the ritual known as the yard sale. Everyone has them and most people go to them in Tennessee. I have lived 34 years and had never had one, nor had I ever attended one, until this weekend. My wife and several of her coworkers decided to have a yard sale. I learned two things this weekend, 1) A yard sale is a thinly veiled attempt of wives to sell all their husband's things. (She tried to sell my whoopy cushion and rubber chicken, I've had since highschool) 2) Other wives come to buy the husband's things for their own husbands. But something struck me odd Friday night as all the ladies set up their wares. One lady brought a box full of books. Well, I'm a book freak, if it's a book I'll buy it. I looked in the box and found a whole set of Worldbook Encyclopedias. Not an old set either, these were from the 90's. I looked and the price was $5 for the whole set! I thought about it for a few moments and just couldn't stand for those books to be sold like that. Books, especially reference books hold a somewhat, almost Holy feel over me. I asked the lady why she was selling her encyclopedias. She told me she didn't need them any longer. Now what, pray tell, could convince her she had no longer a need for encyclopedias? Had she learned the secret of the universe and therefore had no more use for books of knowledge? No, she tells me, "I have them on CD-Rom now!" Have we, as a society come so far that we don't even want to open a book anymore? Would this lady prefer booting her computer to simply opening a book? I found myself feeling very sad over this box of books. Yes, I bought them! It was my first ever in my lifetime yardsale purchase. I don't really need another set of encyclopedias, but I'll find a local library that might make use of them here in Union County, Tennessee. So that maybe some people who aren't fortunate enough to have them on CD-Rom may use them. Although I wonder who the lucky one really is. Is it the one who reads the encyclopedia on CD or the one who opens a book and discovers the secrets of the universe under a tree in their backyard? I'll take the backyard, with a book, an RC and a Moon Pie! Just thought I'd share that with you all, for some reason it just got to me. Chip Manager TNChat

The Public Service Television Show "Ancestors - Records at Risk" is due to be aired on the Nashville Public Television Station (Channel 8) at 6:30 P.M. Saturday 10 June. It covers efforts to preserve genealogical records by the Shoah foundation and the National Archives. This television station covers the middle Tennessee area/ Rsp. Jim Allen

Thanks Jim for that tip, I'll be sure to tune in! Ancestors the PBS series isn't available in the Knoxville area (East Tennessee) on WSJK or WKOP TV. However, if you have DishNetwork or DirecTV you may be able to qualify for a national PBS feed. If you want to see if your local station carries Ancestors check out: http://www.kbyu.org/ancestorsbroadcast/ But, even if you can't see the series you can follow it online at: http://www.kbyu.org/ancestors/ It's a favorite of mine and I read articles on their site very often!

Chip, Rick (my husband) looks at poison and he breaks out all over. He swears by Ivy Dry, or go to the Dr. and get a script for the steriods stuff. Bless her heart! Be real nice to her!

There are three plants native to Tennessee, Kudzu, Poion Ivy and Poison Oak. Oh I know Kudzu isn't really native, but there's so much of it we just decided to adopt it. I hear it's edible by the way. Anyway, after the tornado at my home the other day, my wife helped me remove some limbs from our yard, including two 70 foot trees. One of the trees was covered in poison oak. I've never been bothered with it but she got ate up. Any home remedies out there from all you Tennesseeans and misplaced Tennessee natives? She got this bottle of stuff called Ivy Dry and she says it helps, but I know she's miserable. Chip

ROFL!!!
