This is a copy of my article published in the California State Genealogical Alliance Newsletter. I have also submitted it to several national genealogical publications. Talk to your society and spread the word to our fellow genealogist. Together we can make this happen. A Month Dedicated to Family History October as month dedicated to celebrating family history continues to be discussed among genealogist and family historians across the country. We can make it happen beginning with at grass roots level with individual and collective effort. Individuals can present ideas and suggestions of ways to promote the importance of family history to local and national organizations and volunteering to lead or serve on committees to spearhead the effort to implement those ideas. Possible activities might include some of the following; • PBS stations were receive notification of the June release of “Ancestors II” about March 1. Since we will need to contact our local PBS station to encourage the series be aired on our local channel we could suggest the timing be September into October. • Schedule an “Introductory to Genealogy Workshop” in your community. If possible this could be scheduled in the local genealogical repository. • Request local libraries feature displays of Family History material during the month of October. • Contact editors of local publications to request that they do a feature on Family History during that period. • Contact area Museums, Historical, Ethnic and Religious Organizations suggesting they might do a display, newsletter article, or program highlighting important role of families have held in the history of our community. • The program for meetings schedule in October could be a presentation by a popular local personality who can do a presentation related to the History of Local Families. • Contact the local Family History Center to determine if they may be scheduling classes or activities during October. Local societies might volunteer to co-host a Family History Center open house. • Local Bookstores could be notified that October is Family History Month and suggest they might display various books dealing with family history. • Contact local service clubs and organizations volunteering to provide a speaker for an October meeting. • We can contact the Board of Supervisors, local Mayors, and Chambers of Commerce requesting they declare October as Family History Month. The array of ideas to promote family history is limited only by the imagination and dedication of those engaged in making things happen. As with research it starts at home. Begin with a committee with an innovative chairperson to explore the possibilities and develop a workable plan. Involve as many members as possible, calling upon them to volunteer their special skills. Be prepared to support those who agree to participate. This may involve providing posters, writing articles for the media, providing speakers, and possibly even writing the official proclamation. Genealogist and family historians have a proven record of success of cooperative efforts. A month celebrating family history will increase awareness of our accomplishments and can highlight the importance of knowledge of the history of one's family. Heightened awareness is likely to increase interest in research and perhaps encourage additional support for records access. Jonelle Ellis Russell <ljrussell@earthlink.net>

Hi all! I am looking for a "good Samaritan" who will lend some help my way. I am trying to find some information on the Memphis Southern Guards and the 154th or Senior Regiment of the State of Tennessee. My gg-grandfather, according to an obituary, states that he volunteered in the Confederate Service in the Memphis Southern Guards and was later promoted to the rank of Adjutant of the old 154th or Senior Regiment of the State of Tennessee. Would the Tennessee State Archives be able to give me any information on this? Would either of these two units have any connection with the Alabama Calvary? His obituary states that he served with these two units. However, his grave marker (he is buried in the Confederate Section of the Metairie Cemetery in Metairie, LA) states he served with the Alabama Calvary. The Confederate Section was a chapter of the Army of Tennessee and apparently all of the survivors of the Civil War who lived in the New Orleans area and who died later are buried there. Can anyone explain why there is conflicting information? I was trying to decide whether I needed to request information from the archives in Tennessee or the archives in Alabama. If anyone can help with this, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you, Genie GGibbs@prodigy.net

While I was looking on the e-bay auction site this morning I noticed that for auction there was a picture of the 1914 Memphis Rotary Club Members. I thought if someone out there had a family member in the picture they might be interested to check it out!!!!! Have a great day! Caroline

Hi All Have had lots of questions about maps I mentioned in a previous email, so I'm sending the link (Library of Congress Panoramic Map Collection, in case the link fails): http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/pmhtml/panhome.html You should eventually find an 1870 and an 1887 map for Memphis, both zoomable right down to practically the doorsteps of homes.... enjoy!

<A HREF="http://www.people.memphis.edu/~jcothern/soldrest.htm">Click here: Elmwood Confederate Soldiers Rest</A> I am sure many of you have seen this listing on Cyndi's Lists but there might be a few who haven't seen it. It is a listing of Confederate Soldiers buried in Elmwood Cemetery, Memphis, Tennessee. Hope this helps. Betty http://www.people.memphis.edu/~jcothern/soldrest.htm

Hi Robin, Your question about Keel St. in Memphis "rang a bell!" I grew up in Memphis on Seventh St., between Keel and Looney. Keel started probably at Front St. (or the next one, Main St.) and ran east. In the 1890s it would not have been in the center of town. Even as late as the '50s Keel St. was residential, until you were almost to the river. I had an interesting afternoon last week looking at this 1890/91 directory database. I found my grandfather, Otto Richter age 26, living at 16 Adams St. When I did a search for "16 Adams St." I learned that a group of young people with German sounding names also boarded there. Even a newspaper, the German Gazette" was edited at that address. If you type in a search for "Keel", besides getting a few surnames, you will have a list of everyone living on Keel St., and the companies located there. It will give you an idea of the range of address numbers also. This database is great! Best wishes, Cora McDonnell "Robin E. Dickens" wrote: > Hello All > > I was happy to find a relative in the directory (as a "laborer", along with a possible inlaw, Thomas Cox a "driver"), but when I mapped the listed address (22 Keel Street) on an 1887 map it seems to have been an industrial area on the waterfront.

His being a "laborer" within the city limits is news to us, but the timing makes sense if he was working for a year or two to make money for the big move to Oklahoma to buy land, etc. Checking the previous & prior years' directories should help us make sense of his being in the city. > > Thanks so much for any assistance you can offer... > R.
