Most servers will allow the use of Front Page extensions on their (isp's) webserver, to some extent, but not a lot allow the use of ALL Front Page extensions. I want to let those of you know about it, if you are planning on building a website, and if you think you may want Front Page program to work with. I'm using it myself. You can use it at VIP now, from wherever you may live, by being a customer of this VIP isp. (no, I don't get discounts, pay, kickbacks, or freebie's) I wanted to let you know about it, because I use the server and wanted to use everything Front Page can do, it's such fun to work with, I think. There are other programs (even building with HTML from scratch for the "real computer people") that you can use, but Front Page can do such a lot others can't, unless you know a powerful lot about HTML. (I don't, just enough to get by) I just thought if you are looking for a home that will let you do what you want to with that product, then here it is. Yes, you can access your email from anywhere, from here. Write to http://www.viptx.net Tell them you want info re the account that allows Front Page extensions. It's new, and not yet listed on their site. Billye D. Jackson You can tell them I sent you, but it won't matter <grin>

Posted on: Victoria Co. Tx Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Victoria/38 Surname: Jaschke ------------------------- Gladys, my thanks to you and your friend. I did see your grandfathers name on both a passenger list and on the 1880-Texas Federal Census Index, for Victoria County. There was also a Clara Jaschke on the 1880 Census Index for Jackson County. I have a copy of the Passanger List if you do not already have it, I'd be happy to send it to you. I am heading to Victoria and Edna this morning to visit some cemetaries and go thru the libraries. My time will be limited as I have to be back to Seguin to pick up my children from school. This will probably be one of many trips I make there. Thanks again, any help would be so appreciated.

Tx Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Tx/Victoria/37 Surname: Jaschke ------------------------- Victoria County, Texas A friend forwarded your message to me. My great grandfather was Wenzel Jaschke. It seems very likely that your great grandfather and mine were cousins. I personally am not familiar with the names Antonne, Franz and Rose Jaschke. I need to search my (limited)records and will then contact you again with more information about Wenzel Jaschke. I am definitely interested in pursuing how we may be related and shall look forward to further correspondence with you. Sincerely, Gladys

Dear Victorians, I gathered this URL from a Kentucky rootsweb site. It should be MUST reading for every genealogist. One professional researcher/lecturer/author has stated in a large meeting that if you are doing Southern family history research and are NOT using land records, you are not doing research. Try this URL: http://users.arn.net/~billco/uslpr.htm Land records have helped me solve many a knotty family research problem. E.W.Wallace whose father was born in Victoria Co., TX

This interests me, so I thought those of you working way back on names across the water might want to see this source page of websites. http://www.cgp100.dabsol.co.uk/gui/hists.htm Billye D. Jackson

My suggestion would be to contact the Calhoun County Historical Commission, Mr. J. Fred Rhodes, chairman. He would probably know if any such records exist.
