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. He says that this makes his quest for kinfolk both efficient and FUN, not to mention addictive.

Forwarding this if someone is interested Bill -----Original Message----- From: Brian Nichols [mailto:bnichols@nicholsgenealogy.net] Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 12:52 PM To: GAFULTON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GAFULTON] Genealogy Classifieds I have just started a website at www.genealogyclassifieds.com and would like to see if anyone wanted to list any old genealogy books or publications here. Its free and hopefully someone may have a book or society magazine someone else needs as well as putting some of the original cost you incurred back into your own pocket for new genealogical books or publications purchases. FYI, I started this because there are a lot of out of print books I am looking for and cant find anywhere to get them. Hopefully this will help me as well as some others in the process. So feel free to forward this to other list you may be members of. I receive no money from this in any way in case some of you were wondering.... Brian Nichols

I am trying to find a great uncle that moved from Giles County, TN to Malakoff-Henderson County, TX probably the early 1880's. The 1870 Giles County census he is listed. My grandfather received a letter from him dated Dec. 1885 from Malakoff. That was the last letter Pappy received. It has been told that he died shortly after that, and that he never married. I would love to find out anything about him. My father was named for him and he is 91 years old. Thanking you in advance. You can e-mail me privately. Cathy SOUTHERN BY THE GRACE OF GOD!! CATHY W.

Terrell is about 20 miles west of Canton, Tyler is about 40 miles east of Canton. Each county maintains its own records in their courthouses for the most part.

The society covers six counties--Anderson, Smith, Gregg, Henderson, Rusk, and Panola counties. http://www.rootsweb.com/~txetgs/index.html Each county also has several web pages with various genelogical societies. Hope this helps. Darrell Clakley
