Regular Meeting of East Texas Genealogical Society, Tyler, TX Saturday, August 13, 2005 Tyler Public Library - Taylor Auditorium 2:00 p.m. Speaker: William B. Dow, Jr. Program: "My LILES Who Fell Through the CRACKS" Our guest speaker, William Dow, will be using a case study of researching an ancestor through two name changes from Illinois back to England. He will describe techniques to locate the elusive ancestor. William B. Dow, Jr. is a computer systems consultant and has been in the computer and information technology field for over thirty (30) years. He recently "retired" in order to take up a previous career as a professional photographer now specializing in digital photography and digital photo restoration. Bill is a professional genealogist researching in the areas of Illinois, New York, England, and Scotland for over twenty-five years. Mr. Dow has used these skills along with six years of law enforcement experience to combine computers and other high-tech equipment with investigative techniques and record keeping.

The prime requisites for all materials are that they should be as useful in 50 years as they are today. We will strive to publish a variety of material on each of the six counties represented by ETGS. Although exceptions may be made, material relating to our six counties prior to 1900 are of the most interest. Articles concerning other areas will be used occasionally if of sufficient interest to many people. Material from old and/or rare unindexed books will also be considered. Priority will be given to courthouse, Bible and cemetery records, but we are very interested in publishing the following types of source material: Biographical Family Sketches, Lodge Records, Old Diary Accounts, Census Records, Marriage Records, Old Letters, Commissioners Court Minutes, Military Muster Rolls, Post Offices, Confederate Records, Mortality Schedules, Probate Abstracts, Deed and Land Records, Newspaper Clippings, School Lists, Jury Lists, Obituaries of East Texas Citizens, Tax Lists, Library Microfilm Holdings, and Voter Lists.

When submitting cemetery records, please give exact location of cemetery, date copied and name of copier. PUBLICATION: To be considered for publication, an item or article should have a reliable reference and should not be based entirely on "tradition." We do not wish to publish items from books now in print, however, such references may be used as footnotes to clarify sources. Please be certain all material is legible. Xerox copies can be used, but typewritten articles are preferred to avoid errors in transcribing handwritten material. Please include your name, address, e-mail address and day-time telephone number with all material submitted. The editor must retain the right to accept or reject materials and to edit those chosen for publications. Credit will be given to each contributor.

ETGS does not assume responsibility for errors of fact or opinions expressed by contributors. However, we strive to publish reliable source material, and errors will be corrected when submitted in writing. ETGS POLICY ON THE REPLACEMENT OF PERIODICALS The East Texas Genealogical Society strives to publish a maximum of genealogical information at minimum costs, in order that the Society's publications may be widely available to all who are interested. Consistent with this objective, certain restraints are necessary in regard to replacement of periodicals, which were not received by the intended recipients. Hence, if a member, institution or other organization fails to receive a copy of THE EAST TEXAS FAMILY RECORDS, the quarterly, ETGS must be notified within six months of the publication date of that issue. Otherwise, the intended recipient will be supplied a replacement copy only if copies are still available and only at the published price. The ETGS Newsletter, "The Bulletin," primarily carries news of short-term interest and back issues will not normally be supplied. If there is a special need for back issues, the recipient will be quoted a price for which they may be ordered. PUBLICATION DATES ARE: MARCH 31, JUNE 30, SEPTEMBER 30, and DECEMBER 31 of each year. Scott Fitzgerald, President

Surnames: Givens, McKinney, Alotto, Saylor, Lawrence Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/IiB.2ACE/780 Message Board Post: I am needing information about the Thomas Monroe Givens family of Longview (this is my husband's grandfather). He was b. 1883 and died 1971 in Longview. Married to Minnie May McKinney. One daughter was Mary Estelle Givens Lawrence Saylor. She had several siblings, one named Martha (Married Alotto), another Rose (?). I am hoping someone remembers this family and can fill in information on their names, where they either live or are buried now. Martha lives in Longview, Rose in the DFW area (I think) and Mary lived in the Austin area before she died (she was buried in Longview however). I am trying to get this information for my children so they will know about their grandmother's (Mary Estelle's) family. Thanks!
