Dear List Members, If you were effected by the Comcast buy out, then you need to read this, if not delete it. Just this evening, I have receive over 100 requests for me to change e-mail address to a Comcast address. Many of these requests mention multiple lists of which the sender needs their e-mail address changed. It will take me a good week or so to get through them all. My suggestion is; If you still have the ability to unsubscribe go to PASSWORD Central at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ type in your old e-mail address, and follow the directions. You will receive an e-mail from which you can unsubscribe. If you can't do this, then you will just need to re-subscribe with your new address and let the old one bounce off. To re-subscribe this go to John Fuller's mailing list site http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html or remember you can subscribe and or unsubscribe by sending only the word UNSUBSCRIBE or SUBSCRIBE to XXXXXX-L-REQUEST@ROOTSWEB.COM or XXXXXX-D-REQUEST@ROOTSWEB.COM if you are on the Digest List. Naturally change the XXXXXX to the name of the list. If all else fails, contact me, but be understanding if it takes me a while to get to you. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

if you go to google.com and type in Liberty Cemetery, eastland county, it will take you to the offsite link for the cemetery..the one listed is south of cisco off 206...don't know if this is the right one or not..this would not be too close to Pioneer.....Perhaps, the Salt Tank Cemetery that is close by pioneer, then there are numerous small churchs with cemeteries with them....hope this helps...I have lived in Eastland county, Rising Star area for 58 years...in fact, i was born there....Sandy

For those of you who are visiting the cemeteries and graves of your loved ones, your ancestors this weekend and have a few extra flowers, think of placing them on one of the lonely graves which are never visited. Or, if you are living in an area where you have no one, think of visiting a cemetery and placing flowers by one of these lonely graves. I live in Logan Utah and tomorrow I will be visiting several local cemeteries and will be placing flowers on graves. Over the past years I have adopted these graves, these people and I hope that someone out there is doing the same for my loved ones. This is the day to remember those who came before us, who forged the paths that we now walk. Kathleen Burnett List Mom

Betsy, I know that you want the court records for the Santa Claus Bank Robbery, but you may also want to do a search of the web, if you haven't already done so. There is a link from the Cisco Police Department, the Handbook of Texas, and a few links to books written on that robbery. I hope that some of the first hand accounts were recorded and kept in library in Cisco, too. If you find additional info on this, hope you will share with them list. It is an interesting episode.

I need two early Eastland county newspaper obituaries: George W. Foster, died June 17, 1902, and Sarah A. Foster, died April 13, 1922. I've looked at the newspapers on microfilm here at the University of Texas at Austin and they don't have the years I'm looking for. I was also hoping to find early Abilene Reporter-News on microfilm, but they also don't have those years. Richard Foster Austin, TX

I am hoping some kind soul would be willing for get the court records for the Santa Claus Bank Robber, Marshall Ratliff. He robbed the Cisco Bank in December 1927. He was lynched December 1929. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will pay for copying costs and mailing. Betsy --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month!

The easiest way to do this is by using Password Central. http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will receive a e-mail list of all Rootsweb Mailing Lists you belong to.
