We keep running into road blocks on these people adopting the passwords for various states and counties. At the request of RW, if you have adopted out a site, the person who adopts it now becomes the owner of that site and that password needs to be connected to their email address. Gerhard has to look up whose name these passwords are in, then ask me to release them to the SA or CA and that should have been done when they adopted the site. If you have people who have sites that were in your name and they have now adopted the site, the password has to be transfered to their name. This also includes sites that I have. We are searching to too many passwords and it comes down to the fact that the DA, SA usually have these sites in their name... no more, please transfer them to the new owner of the sites. Gail

Surrounded by residential neighborhoods just east of York, Pennsylvania is the site of Camp Security, the last remaining undeveloped Revolutionary War era prisoner-of-war camp in the United States. Between the summer of 1781 and spring of 1783, the camp housed British and Canadian prisoners who were guarded by members of the York County Militia and Convention troops. During the war there were very few camps like this constructed, and all have been destroyed by development – all except for Camp Security. The time to research her secrets is upon us, and we mustn’t let the opportunity pass us by. http://www.preservingyork.com/2012/05/15/camp-security/ Camp Security, an American prison built in 1781, was first occupied by the troops of General John Burgoyne, who had been captured at Saratoga in 1777. In the fall of 1781, a stockade and living quarters were built on the 270-acre farm taken for the camp. Early in 1782, Burgoyne's men were joined by troops from Cornwallis' army that had been recently captured at Yorktown. Mostly enlisted men from both armies were held at Camp Security, as the officers had returned to Britain or were sent to other prisons. Period memoirs indicate that members of the Convention Army lived in the village, while all of Cornwallis' troops were housed in the stockade prison. http://www.campsecurity.com/ -- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”. - Patrick Henry - _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._

There more than 16 million Americans, uniform or civilian, participated in World War II. This global event caused people to move and settle in the most unthought-of areas. Such movement is a nightmare for the budding and even experienced genealogist. Furthermore, nearly 150,000 individuals who supported the war effort found themselves captured as POWs in internment camps run by the Japanese or Germans. Records of those prisoners exist today. The savvy genealogist just needs to know where to look and what information to have on hand when researching this information. http://www.topsecretwriters.com/2012/05/using-internment-serial-numbers-for-genealogy-research/ -- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”. - Patrick Henry - _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._

I now have Door County truly online. Compared to other projects, this Door County has real data on it. I could find all kinds of sites talking "about" the POW camp at Fish Creek, but nothing that would give any good genealogical data -- names!

Before government engineers can deepen one of the nation's busiest seaports to accommodate future trade, they first need to remove a $14 million obstacle from the past -- a Confederate warship rotting on the Savannah River bottom for nearly 150 years. Confederate troops scuttled the ironclad CSS Georgia to prevent its capture by Gen. William T. Sherman when his Union troops took Savannah in December 1864. It's been on the river bottom ever since.

Thank you so much.  When I do johnson county I am doing a page on him and the family The land in eastern ky has a cabin on it that was built around 1785 and a second story to log cabin was built around 1801  Then another house was built later on the property and the barn has tree logs that would take 6 people to reach around.  The house had a store and post office in it and the Mr Blanton rode a horse and delivered the mail to people back in the mountians and picked up orders for the store  to fille the next time he came around.  The area where the store and post office is locked up and not used.  I would appreciate the pictures.  I will not post them however will keep them in my albumn.  thank you so very very much Jeannie in KY God Speed God Bless May your jounery be safe and filled with new wonders of life From: Billie Walsh <bilwalsh@swbell.net> To: tttp@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, May 3, 2012 12:48 PM Subject: Re: [TTTP] Off to Wichita I have some pictures that we took a couple years ago from the top of the Epic Center, the tallest building in Kansas.
