Hello, Everyone on this list has been so helpful to me I'd like to return the favor. I recently purchased Heritage's digital census for Hardin County, 1900. It's a great product. If anyone knows the census page number (must know the page number!) I will be glad to look up any information for you. Robyn in Maryland Researching the Holts descended from Giles Holt

OK, I know before you say it that this is a genealogy list and not a list for Y2K problems. Well I found this one on my computer and I thought it was ready for Y2K. So you might want to check this one out too. Jerry W.

Tell your friends too. It might help if you print this-then, easier to follow. Jim {:>= I am sending this message to you because I got it from a very reliable source and believe it may save some of you some big headaches this January. If you are running Windows, this is a fix for a small Y2K problem almost everyone could have. After running this quick little test, much to my surprise, I learned that my computer would have failed on 01-01-2000 due to a computer clock glitch. Fortunately, a quick fix is provided, should your computer fail the test. I submit the following for your consideration: TEST 1. Double click on "My Computer". 2. Double click on "Control Panel". 3. Double click on "Regional Settings" icon. 4. Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page. 5. Where it says, "Short Date Sample", look and see if it shows a "two digit" year. Of course it does. That's the default setting for Windows 95, Windows 98 and NT. This date RIGHT HERE is the date that feeds application software and WILL NOT rollover in the year 2000. It will roll over to 00. 6. Click the drop-down arrow to the right of "Short Date Style". 7. Select the option mm/dd/yyyy. (Be sure your selection has four Y's, not two). 8. Click "OK". Easy enough to fix. However, every single installation of Windows worldwide is defaulted to fail Y2K rollover. Please feel free to pass this on to your friends and associates. P S I found regional settings at the bottom line in control panel not at date time setting in first line

There is a book at your library in reference to the war of 1812. Please check there happy hunting.

I have temporarily removed the "Boards" function from the site. Hackers hit the provider very hard over the weekend with porno graphics, etc. They did not get to ours, and they won't because it is not there anymore. Thanks Bill www.hardincountytn.com/history

Does anyone know if there is a index of people who were in the War of 1812? Also, it is online? nolin

There is a book, I think you can find it in most libraries. It is the INDEX of WAR of 1812.

I'm still searching for information on James C. Martin listed in the 1850 Hardin County census with wife Presha (Palmore/Palmer). A fellow Martin/Palmore researcher informed me that James C.

Sorry everyone, but this came back when I tried to send. So I'm putting on the board to try and find the right person. To: JaneM <pmullins@jazz.cybermedia.net> I think I found something. In the LDS IGI records I show a Roda Martin daughter of John Martin and Martha Walker. Roda said to be born 1822. Does this fit? (Rhody Martin married Obediah Wyatt 7 May 1843 in Tishomingo Co MS). nolin
