ok i realize now i need to update our policy on books many of the books are limited editions and thus are not being sold except to family members or relatives and i doubt they make a profit and if they do so be it! So if you have a family book that relates to Smith County we will allow those from now on .... i will monitor messages for big book sales like amazon.com etc.... though a mention of these books will be ok.... As we are a free service we should not exclude books that may help our researchers.... BUT PLEASE KEEP QUERIES about the books off the list as much as possible..... PLEASE look at the TO: in your mail program before you send.... Happy Hunting Charlie list administrator

Find the Popularity of Your Surname on PublicProfiler.org Just how popular is your surname? Is it popular in other countries? This web site will tell you. It won't find your ancestors but, with less-popular surnames, it may give clues as to the emigration patterns of extended family members. Don't try this on Smith or Jones, but with less-common surnames, it may provide clues. PublicProfiler.org displays a map of the world and then invites you to enter your surname or any other surname of interest. It then displays the popularity of that name around the world. I was surprised to find that my own surname is more popular in Canada (measured as a percentage of the entire population) than it is in the United States. I know it is a popular name in Canada, but never realized just how popular it is until PublicProfiler.org provided the numbers. It is also a very popular name in the State of Maine (which I expected) and is also found in England, Australia, New Zealand, and even a handful of people with the same surname are found in Spain. The web site also reports that the fourth most common forename of all people named Eastman is Richard. Hey! That's my name. Even better, the PublicProfiler.org web site reports that the people of my surname most commonly originated from England (which is correct) and there it is most commonly found in Bristol (which I didn't know). Again, these are not hard facts about your ancestors but the web site can provide clues about probabilities. PublicProfiler.org also provides: An Area Search that displays the most common surnames and forenames for any geographic arrea in its database An Ethnicity Search that shows the distribution of various ethnic groups around the world PublicProfiler.org contains data for 26 countries in Europe, America, Asia and Oceania. However, it does not contain information for all countries. You can find PublicProfiler.org at http://www.publicprofiler.org/worldnames JEannie Reunion 2010.

Train Your Voice Recognition Software to do Your Genealogy Do you realize you need to train your voice recognition software to do your genealogy? A well-trained program can recognize the voice inflections, the pattern of speech and produce more accurate text from the spoken word. An article in the Mormon Times quotes Launa Darby and her recent presentation at the 2010 annual conference of the National Genealogical Society. Darby offered a presentation on "Can You Hear Me Now? Voice Recognition Software for Genealogists," said she relies on voice recognition software for transcriptions, letters and journal entries, passages from books, notes on interviews and reports. She says that voice recognition software can save a genealogist 40 percent to 50 percent of his or her time.

AccessGenealogy has been working hard to bring our readers new information. I have included some additional titles that are not Native American in nature, but Trails, Forts amd War do provide locations that might be of assistance to readers. Drennen Roll Index http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/drennensearch.php This is the first census of the new arrivals of 1839 and the first enumeration of Indians after the Trail of Tears. The roll was prepared by John Drennen and contains the payee's name, Cherokee district and family group. Native American Treaty Signers http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/searchsigners.php This unique database comprises a list of all signers of each specific treaty, whether the signer be white or Native American. To search for a white ancestor, place their name in the Surname and given (first) name below. To search for a Native American ancestor try the Indian and Other searches, each one separately. Hester Roll Index, 1884 http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/hester/ This roll lists 2,956 persons residing in North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, Illinois, Kansas, Colorado, Kentucky, New Jersey, and California. Those living west of the Mississippi and listed by Mr. Hester were descendants of members of the Eastern Band and had no affiliation with the Cherokee Nation in the west. Pamunkey Indians of Virginia http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/virginia/pamunkey/index.htm One of the most prominent among the confederacies of Indian tribes belonging to the Algonquian stock, in the history of the settlement of our country, was the Powhatan confederacy of tidewater Virginia and Maryland. The prominence of this confederacy in our early history is partly due to the fact that Capt. John Smith was writer as well as explorer, and left permanent records of the primitive people whose domain he invaded; but these and other records indicate that Powhatan was a chief of exceptional valor and judgment. The Narragansett Indians, 1768 http://www.accessgenealogy.com/rhodeisland/historical/narragansett_indians_1 768.htm After a brief mission among the Delaware Indians, he was successively pastor at North Hampton, N. H., and at East Windsor, Conn. The book is privately printed, and therefore inaccessible to most readers. It has accordingly been thought proper to print here an ex-tract relating to the condition of the Narragansett Indians in 1768, which it is believed will be regarded as of considerable interest. Choctaw Mixed Bloods and the Advent of Removal http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/choctaw_mixed_bloods.htm Much of what transpired between the Choctaw nation and the United States government from 1795 until Choctaw Removal in 1830 was heavily affected by this group of white countryman and their Choctaw speaking children. The Chickasaw, Cherokee, and Creek experience was similar. There is also plentiful anecdotal evidence from the nineteenth century historians that countrymen and mixed bloods were commonplace in Indian tribes of Mississippi Territory. Choctaw Register of Col. William Ward http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/choctaw/wardregister/ Colonel William Ward was appointed United States agent to register Choctaw Indians according to Article 14 of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, September 1830. The treaty was ratified February 24, 1831 and the six month time limit for those wishing to remain ended August 24, 1831. The registration procedure resulted in numerous "contingent claims" by members of the Choctaw Nation. Ward was not the best record keeper and in many instances even refused to register those wishing to register. History of Washington, Idaho and Montana http://www.accessgenealogy.com/history_washington_idaho_montana.htm Complete Bancroft Book of the three states. The book provides much insite into many of the Indian Tribes of the west. Historic and Quaint Forts of North America http://www.accessgenealogy.com/forts/historicforts/ An account of the most famous fortifications of North America is, in realty, a cross section of the military history of the continent; and whatever ingenuity there may be in this method of presenting the conspicuous deeds of valor of the American people will. Frontier and Colonial Forts of the United States http://www.accessgenealogy.com/forts/ List of colonial forts, frontier forts, trading posts, named camps, redoubts, reservations, general hospitals, national cemeteries, etc., established or erected in the United States from its earliest settlement to 1902. Old Marblehead Sea Captains and the Ships in Which they Sailed http://www.accessgenealogy.com/massachusetts/marblehead/index.htm This volume is intended to be a fairly accurate list of the Old Sea Captains of Marblehead, and the vessels in which they sailed, going to and from foreign ports. The list of the names of the men is very nearly complete, but the list of the vessels is not as satisfactory, it being at this late date practically impossible to obtain complete information. Many pictures are included.

Family Tree DNA Launches Family Finder DNA Test Using The following announcement was written by Affymetrix: HOUSTON & SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 03, 2010 -- Family Tree DNA, the first and largest genealogical DNA testing company, today announced the launch of the Family Finder DNA test for connecting family members across all ancestral lines. The test utilizes Affymetrix' /quotes/comstock/15*!affx/quotes/nls/affx (AFFX 7.15, +0.20, +2.88%) recently launched Axiom(TM) genotyping technology and the GeneTitan(R) System to confidently match a wide range of family relationships within five generations. Family Finder represents a major advancement over earlier genealogical tests, which revealed only connections along specific paternal lines (for males) or maternal lines (males or females). Family Finder enables anyone, regardless of gender, to look for connections such as grandparents, aunts and uncles, half siblings, and first, second, third, and fourth cousins. "This is the most exciting genetic genealogy breakthrough since 2000, when Family Tree DNA launched its Y-DNA test to uncover relatives in the direct paternal line," said Bennett Greenspan, founder and CEO of Family Tree DNA. "The comprehensive, genome-wide coverage of Axiom Arrays enables us to offer consumers the most advanced genealogical test available at a price that is attractive to our customers. In addition, the automated GeneTitan System allows us to process hundreds of samples at a time with minimal hands-on time for maximum efficiency." The Family Finder test analyzes the DNA of two individuals using Axiom Array Plates containing nearly 570,000 genetic markers, including many that are relevant to genealogy. Family Tree DNA then analyzes the resulting data with internally developed algorithms to determine the closeness of the relationship. The complete Axiom Genotyping Solution includes array plates, complete reagent kits, and an automated workflow that enables scientists to process more than 760 samples per week. Family Tree DNA offers counseling services, tutorials, and other helpful tools to assist in the genealogy and matching process, and provides names and email addresses of matched individuals whenever possible for easy communication. "The Family Finder test represents a huge step forward for the direct-to-consumer genetic genealogy market and the application of microarray technology," said Kevin King, president and CEO of Affymetrix. "Now anyone can utilize the power of the Axiom Genotyping Solution and the GeneTitan System to find and connect with a broader range of family members than ever before." For more information about the Family Finder test, please visit www.familytreedna.com. For more information about Affymetrix products for genetic research, please visit www.affymetrix.com. About Family Tree DNA Founded in April 2000, Family Tree DNA (www.familytreedna.com) was the first company to develop the commercial application of DNA testing for genealogical purposes, something that had previously been available only for academic and scientific research. Almost a decade later, the Houston, Texas-based company has a database with over 290,000 individual records -- the largest DNA database in genetic genealogy, a number that makes Family Tree DNA the prime source for anyone researching recent and distant family ties. In 2006 Family Tree DNA established a state-of-the-art Genomics Research Center at its headquarters in Houston, where it currently performs R&D and processes over 200 advanced types of DNA tests for its customers, including the new Family Finder test. About Affymetrix Affymetrix technology is used by the world's top pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and biotechnology companies, as well as leading academic, government, and nonprofit research institutes. More than 1,900 systems have been shipped around the world and more than 21,000 peer-reviewed papers have been published using the technology. Affymetrix is headquartered in Santa Clara, Calif., and has manufacturing facilities in Cleveland, Ohio, and Singapore. The company has about 1,000 employees worldwide and maintains sales and distribution operations across Europe and Asia. For more information about Affymetrix, please visit www.affymetrix.com.

The cost of the book will be $100 postpaid. Payment can be by check or Paypal. A 2nd volume will cover Claiborne and Elizabeth's last five children and their descendants as well as provide notes from my extensive research into the complex and difficult ancestral lines of Claiborne and Elizabeth into Virginia and other states. (still ongoing). Some surnames in Volume II will be Boston, Herod, Piper, Gregory, Payne, Richardson, York, Toney, and Valentine (as well as many others). A limited number of copies of Volume I are being printed. If you would like to reserve one, please let me know. Thanks, Rick Allen 3295 State Route 146 East Vienna, IL 62995 rick1547@gmail.com

You gotta be kidding me???????????????????????? In a message dated 5/2/2010 4:25:06 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, looking4myfamily@insightbb.com writes: Switching to lighter fonts can save costs with your genealogy printing. Here's a way you might save $20 this year: "Change the font in the documents you print." Because different fonts require different amounts of ink to print, you could be buying new printer cartridges less often if you wrote in, say, Century Gothic rather than Arial. Data on the subject from Printer.com, a Dutch company that evaluates printer attributes, persuaded the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay to make a switch. Diane Blohowiak, coordinator of information-technology user support, has asked faculty and staff to use Century Gothic for all printed documents. When Printer.com tested popular fonts for their ink-friendly ways, Century Gothic and Times New Roman topped the list. Calibri, Verdana, Arial and Sans Serif were next, followed by Trebuchet, Tahoma and Franklin Gothic Medium. Century Gothic uses about 30 percent less ink than Arial. Also, serif fonts - those with short horizontal lines at the top and bottom of characters - tend to use thinner lines and thus less ink than a "sans serif" counterpart. That's because some fonts that use less ink, including Century Gothic, are also wider. A document that's one page in Arial could extend to a second page if printed in Century Gothic. The standard advice for trimming printing expenses still applies: Print in "draft mode," if you can. Use both sides of a page and do a print preview to make sure you're not printing pages with useless text such as a copyright line.

The Family History Center has indeed done tremendous work and spent many hours filming the information, however, like I said some time ago, I copied a will on my Josiah Harper, Sr. but my ancestor's name was not listed. I had a friend in DC go to the National Archives and copy the original will and the FHC had left out one complete line, including my ancestor and another sibling or two. This can be extremely important when trying to obtain membership in DAR or other organization. That probably happens very infrequently, but just be careful. Glenda FamilySearch, the world's largest repository of genealogical information, today announced it will release records containing 300 million names that can now be researched online for free. Jay Verkler, president of Family Search, the genealogy division of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said these records and millions of names are being indexed, digitized and published through FamilySearch.org. The records contain information genealogists would have had to painstakingly pick through to find an ancestor's name or they would have had to contact a specific government agency or travel to the area of study to research. Among the indexed records are the 1935 South Dakota state census; Washington, D.C., deaths and burials 1840-1964; and Utah marriages, 1887-1966. Family Search has established a temporary website, fsbeta.FamilySearch.org for the newly released names. In the next several weeks, the site will become a permanent part of FamilySearch.org.

That may be true, I may have misunderstood the message. That's a different story and would be very helpful to all of us and save a lot of time and expense. Thanks Joy. Patricia In a message dated 4/30/2010 2:09:30 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, joyk@sc.rr.com writes: They have been digitizing *records
