unfortunately, like so many published family trees, that site has had a lot of errors in the information they have published. I hope they are being a bit more careful.

FamilySearch Adds 300 Million Names 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. http://attala.msghn.org/ tp subscribe to the list, please send an email to MSATTALA-request@rootsweb.com with the word "subscribe without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MSATTALA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message Reunion 2010.

A fine article by Michael J. Leclerc: Genealogical Writing: Proofreading Proofreading is the process of reviewing a manuscript to minimize errors. One or more copies of the manuscript are printed out and given to readers. This step is crucial to the writing process, and it is important that it is not skipped. The term proofreading comes from the old days of printing presses with moveable type. Typesetters would take a manuscript and put lead type into trays for the presses. A few proof copies would be given back to be checked for errors. Readers would then mark up the pages and send them back to the typesetters for corrections. Typesetters would occasionally put a piece of type into the tray upside-down or backwards. Spacing bars might be put in the wrong place. Letters or words were occasionally transposed. Difficulty reading the original manuscript might lead to the wrong letter being set. The advent of personal computers has made some of these errors obsolete. For example, one rarely sees characters accidentally inverted in computer manuscripts. But others will still be made. Multiple reviews of a manuscript are usually necessary. One will review for formatting and spacing issues, one will look for typographical errors, etc. The more eyes that review a manuscript, the better the chances are of catching mistakes. Articles for American Ancestors, for example, might be reviewed by as many as eight people. eNews is reviewed by a dozen individuals in addition to the editors. While many errors are caught by multiple individuals, each person usually catches things that no other reader caught. Professional proofreaders use a standard system of marks when reading text to indicate corrections to be made. The carat symbol (^) is used to indicate a place where text should be inserted. The pound sign (#) is used to show a place where space should be inserted. A slash mark (/) is used to separate two or more marks in a row. You can see some proofreader's marks from Merriam-Webster at www.merriam-webster.com/mw/table/proofrea.htm. Can you proofread your own writing? Absolutely! Should you also have others proofread your work? Absolutely! As the author, you may catch things others don't see. That said, just as one cannot edit one's own writing completely, one cannot proofread one's own work completely. Authors will easily gloss over errors unintentionally that will stick out to other readers. Your local community college, university, or adult education program may offer courses in proofreading. They may be offered individually, or as part of a longer course in editing or writing. One thing you must prepare yourself for is that no matter how many people proofread your document, the minute you publish something you will find an error that wasn't caught. Rare is the book or magazine that doesn't have some type of error in it. You will also discover that many people jump to give you feedback about errors. Some will present it to you in a friendly tone to assist you. Others will come across as self-important know-it-alls who criticize others to inflate their own self-worth. Kindly thank the former, and ignore the latter. Include the important step of proofreading in your writing, and your final product will always be the best it can be. A fine article by Michael J.

After many years, I have recently discovered the maiden name of the wife of George W. Coker, son of Joseph Coker/Martha of Smith County, TN. Her name was Sarah W. Short and they were married in TN in 1840 by Dr. Thomas P. Short of Nashville. I have a possible father of Sarah--Thomas P. or R. Short of Smith County. They all seem to be of the baptist faith. George and Sarah went to Cape Girardeau, MO after their marriage where he was a baptist minister. Joseph and his third wife also went to Cape Girardeau where he died in 1858. I am hoping that someone will know something about the Short family, which one Sarah b. in 1819 was from and anything else that might be helpful. I have been told that they belonged to the Goose Creek Baptist Church. I would appreciate any help with information about this family. Thank you, Judith K. Arthur Maylene, AL

My Thomas Harper was born 1798-1802 in VA and his father, Josiah Harper, Sr. moved to Smith Co., TN with his family about 1820 or so. Thomas was married three times and I am trying to find out the last names of his first two wives. Some researchers say his 1st wife was Elizabeth (?), and she died early. He married a Mary R. (?) and 3rd Mary Jane Griggs. Thomas died in Marion/Fayette Co., AL around 1866. Thomas was named in a lawsuit in Smith Co., TN in 1839, see below. There is another interesting record of Thomas Harper "Case of the Missing Note" being given a warrant and sent to arrest Robert Garrett, his wife and Peter Stroud. Thomas Harper Vs Merritt & Lyon. Injunction. 25 Feb 1839 Chancery Book 1 Chancery Book 2 8 Oct 1838 p 104-109 Thomas Harper versus Merit Lyon et al. Complainant is a citizen of Smith Co while defendant is a citizen of Wilson Co. In Dec 1835, complainant was engaged in building a flat bottom boat upon the Caney Fork River which he designed. Complainant sold the defendant some tobacco . The defendant wanted a contract signed but the complainant not being able to write proposed going to Esq Winfrey to do the business. Lyon directed Esq Winfrey how to write the obligation. Harper, being illiterate and wholly inexperienced, trusted Winfrey and Lyon to put the contract down in such a way that no advantage would be taken. Lyon promised to furnish money as fast as it was needed. The complainant did not suspect the fraud which was going to take place. The following is just the first paragraph of "The Case of the Missing Note". A search warrant was issued, only it was issued for the arrest of GARRETT, his wife, his brother, and PETER STROUD. This warrant was put into the hands of THOMAS HARPER (age 31) as an "officer". HARPER went to GARRETT's house and arrested him and his wife. However, before he was allowed into the house, HEZEKIAH and PETER hid under the floorboards of the cabin. They were let out by Robert's negro woman. HEZEKIAH GARRETT drew a knife on HARPER who decided he had better go get more help. He stated that as he was leaving, he "heard ROBERT GARRETT call out to the other boys that HARPER was going for a stronger guard and to clear themselves out". Evidently when the law returned, PETER and HEZEKIAH had escaped. It was further stated it was found the Garretts and Peter Stroud had left the county and gone to NC.
