Hello list, I just learned of the death of my husband's 1st cousin on 18 Mar 1999 in Midland, Texas. Efforts to obtain an obituary on-line from the Midland Reporter-Telegram (the local newspaper) have failed as they do not post their archives. I am hoping to reach someone who would have access to microfilm copies of the paper or another source to photocopy the obituary (or death notice) for me. If you are that person, please send me a note and I will give you my address and happily pay any expenses involved. Jack Cotter Scannell was a life-long bachelor, and retired college professor who was born 31 Oct 1927 in Marfa, TX. Thank you and best regards, -- Diane Scannell List Administrator: Sikes-L@rootsweb.com http://sikes-sykesfamilies.rootsweb.com http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~inthetrees/

-----Original Message----- From: Donna <dbrand@itexas.net> Date: Saturday, January 13, 2001 8:10 PM Subject: Texas Cemeteries Directory Hello, I am writing to you, the List Admin, with the hopes you will forward this message to your list subscribers. It is the time of year when many new researchers are coming on line to do their genealogy research. I believe we have developed a tool to help them. I hope you will encourage their visit by forwarding this message to them. Many hours have been spent recently compiling a new "Texas Cemeteries Directory" which is hoped to benefit every Texas Genealogy Researcher and at the same time encourage the preservation of our Cemeteries. The new Directory shows over 21,000 cemeteries found on line with information about where each one was found in an easy to use format. The directory includes information about those cemeteries that have been inventoried and where to find them. So far those who have visited this new Directory have made such comments as "What a neat idea." & "You've really hit on something here." In addition our web site hosts the list of cemeteries which have reached the protected status of "Historic Texas Cemetery" designation, whose program was developed by "The Texas Historical Commission". We also have a special page where those who have labored to write books about our cemeteries can announce the availability of those books, sell the books, buy a book, or trade them. Most well organized cemetery inventory projects sell the books to fund the project. We all know how expensive it is to work in our cemeteries and believe this is a vital part of encouraging their preservation. There is lots more to see, so come check us out, and while you're there leave a message about a neglected cemetery in our guest book. These posts are followed up on by the folks at "Save Texas Cemeteries" and the folks who manage the "Historic Texas Cemetery" designation program. With your participation it is our hope to encourage the location, inventory and preservation of our Historic Texas Cemeteries. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~txcemeteries/ We look forward to your visit, donna
