Listmembers, Does anyone have a clue to where the actual marriage records in the courthouse may have gone?? Attempting to acquire full marriage information from 1853; I noticed that the Pulaski Co. courthouse only has a photocopied 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper listing only the names of the individuals married. I need to locate the parents. Does anyone know what happened to the originals?? Is there a possibility that the State Library of VA has these microfilmed?? Any help will be appreciated.

I received this from another genealogy list I'm on and thought it was worth passing on. Genealogy scams in general: Genealogical Web Site Watchdog (only for online scams) at: http://www.ancestordetective.com/watchdog.htm The National Genealogical Society's Consumer Protection Committee is quite active at keeping an eye on the various scams, including both online and offline fraudsters. If you have a question about a particular company's services, you can contact the NGS Consumer Protection Committee via traditional mail at: National Genealogical Society's Consumer Protection Committee, at 4527 17th Street North, Arlington, VA 22207- 2399. The committee also maintains Web pages at: http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/comconsumer.htm and at: http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/comconsumerpsst.htm However, those pages do not mention specific companies. Cyndi's List has a section for genealogy myths, hoaxes and scams at: http://www.cyndislist.com/myths.htm Specific companies: I have received e-mail about the following companies; all have been mentioned as having questionable services. I have listed URLs where you can obtain further information: Family Discovery.com - an online Web site that claims to have "the Web's most versatile Award Winning collection of genealogical databases." However, they don't mention the "award" they received from the Better Business Bureau! The Bureau says, "Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to unanswered complaint(s)." Family Discovery.com charges $59.99 for a one- year subscription. Most of the same information is available elsewhere on the Web at no charge. In fact, many of the links on FamilyDiscovery.com simply take you to free Web sites. You can obtain the same information at no cost by using one of the free search engines. Details are available on the Genealogical Web Site Watchdog site at: http://www.ancestordetective.com/watchdog.htm#Warning There is an Anti-FamilyDiscovery.com newsletter at: http://compuright.dyndns.org/familydiscovery/ The xxx Family Yearbook - In this case, substitute your last name for the "xxx." For instance, an advertisement sent to a person named Smith would be advertising The Smith Family Yearbook while someone named Clark would receive an advertisement for The Clark Family Yearbook. These "yearbooks" claim to have genealogy information. However, those who purchase the "products" are usually disappointed. The producing company has several business names; for example, you can find them listed as Mountain West News Service or as the Mountain Pacific News Service. They also may appear as an organizational name, such as "The Smith Family Yearbook." However, all these "companies" have the same address: 1181 S. Parker Road, #105, Denver, CO 80231. The Better Business Bureau lists the parent company as MORPHCORP. The News Herald of Panama City, Florida has an article about these "products" at: http://www.newsherald.com/articles/2000/04/16/tp041600.htm Family Tree House - I wrote about this company in the October 31, 1998 edition of this newsletter. The company gives an appearance of a Web site that offers genealogy services. In fact, it does not appear to sell anything. However, the same company advertises on another Web site with an offer to sell personal information obtained from genealogists who visit the Family Tree House site. You innocently enter personal information about yourself on Family Tree House and then operators of the site sell your personal information to bulk mail companies. Information for sale includes name, address, e-mail address and more. You can read that article at: http://ancestordetective.com/watchdog.htm#sells The Historical Research Center (HRC) International, Inc. sells "family histories" and coats of arms. Information about the true value of these products can be found on the Genealogical Web Site Watchdog site at: http://www.ancestordetective.com/watchdog.htm#Coats. Keep in mind that this company sells franchises. A few years ago they were listed as one of the top 30 fastest growing franchises in America. You may find their products being sold by other companies who purchase franchises. One such company is Names.com, but apparently there are many others as well. The International Hall of Names in Canada also sells "family histories" and coats of arms. They are also mentioned on the Genealogical Web Site Watchdog site at: http://www.ancestordetective.com/watchdog.htm#Coats I would caution anyone to be careful about "family coats of arms." In fact, in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, and most of western Europe, there really is no such thing as a family coat of arms. In those countries, arms have always been awarded to individuals, not to families. Displaying a coat of arms that you are not authorized to use is a form of identity theft, even if you do happen to have the same last name as the original grantee. Any company offering to sell you a copy of "your family's coat of arms" is selling a bogus product. If you believe you have been the victim of a genealogy scam, you can do something about it! If you purchased products or services from the above companies or any others that you feel did not live up to advertised claims, demand a refund! If your money is not returned within 30 days or so from a U.S. company, submit a complaint to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Bureau of Consumer Protection at: https://rn.ftc.gov/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01. A few letters of inquiry from the federal government will send a strong message to the people who produce products or services of questionable value. If a Canadian company is involved, you can register a complaint at: http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSG/ct01250e.html. You also might want to warn other genealogists and tell them of your experiences. You can post a message to others in the "Scams and Fraud" section of CompuServe's Genealogy Techniques Forum message board.

New River Obituaries ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- CARRERA, Felix Lawrence, 94, of Warm Hearth Village, Blacksburg, formerly of Arlington, Va., died on Wednesday, March 7, 2001. He was born in Gioia del Colle, in the province of Bari, Italy, and at 16 immigrated to the United States, landing at Ellis Island in 1924, then joining the rest of his family in Washington, D.C. Like his father, he apprenticed as a barber and rose to become manager of the barber shop at the Hotel Washington, an establishment favored by government officials. He interrupted his work there during WWII to serve in the Army. Upon his retirement in 1972, the barber shop was closed. "Felicetto was the serious, intellectual one of the family," said his sister Laura. He was passionate about education and although he had to leave school to come to America, he later attended George Washington University, while sending all four of his children to college. He often said, "This is the greatest country in the world," and wanted to give his children opportunities he never had. His life-long love of music led him to play violin for the Arlington Symphony, where he established a scholarship that continues to support young musicians. His management skills were also put to use as personnel manager during his many years with the Symphony. Mr. Carrera was preceded in death by his parents Nicola and Adele Vasco Carrera, brother Dominic Carrera, and sister Laura Carrera Frick. He is survived by his wife M. Caroline Carrera of Evansville, Ind.; brothers, Vincent Carrera, Henry Carrera; and sister, Isabella White; four children, son Nicholas J. Carrera and daughter-in-law MaryJeanne of Falls Church, Va., son Felix Ludwig Carrera of Batesville, Va., daughter Carole Carrera Davis and son-in-law C.Y. Davis of Blacksburg, daughter Maria Carrera Fayman and son-in-law Corey Fayman of San Diego, Calif.; and four grandchildren, Alexandra Carrera of Los Angeles, Calif., John Carrera of Waltham, Mass., Sylvia Davis Barnard of Columbus , Ga., and Cynthia Davis May of Arlington, Va. Mr. Carrera's funeral will take place at St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, Falls Church, Va., on March 12, 2001. Contributions in his memory can be made to the Felix Carrera Scholarship Fund, The Arlington Symphony Orchestra, Ballston Common Mall, 4238 Wilson Blvd., Suite 3064, Arlington, Va. 22203-1823. Arrangements by Murphy's Funeral Home, 1102 W. Broad St., Falls Church, Va. 20046. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- DILLOW, John Livingstone, of Narrows, Va., passed away of cancer on Saturday, March 10, 2001, at the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston-Salem, N.C. He was 97. Born February 7, 1904, Dillow attended the University of Virginia and Roanoke College, and received his law degree from the University of Richmond Law School in 1925. The following year in Pearisburg, Va., he began a general practice of law spanning more than six decades. Dillow's long and successful career included stints as Commonwealth's Attorney for Giles County, chairman of the Republican Party in Virginia, director of The First National Bank of Narrows, and president, chairman, and founding member of the Giles Memorial Hospital. While a candidate for Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia, he argued successfully before the United States Supreme Court for the abolishment of the poll tax. That decision put an end to the practice in some Southern states requiring that voters pay a fee in order to cast their ballots. Dillow gained notoriety for his defense of many high profile cases including the murders on the Appalachian Trail. He had a brilliant legal mind and was a gifted orator who believed strongly in the presumption of innocence and entitlement by the accused to the best possible defense. He was a mentor to many of his fellow attorneys and supported the general education of many young people. Dillow was a member of the Narrows Methodist Church. His late wife, Margaret Durst Heslep Dillow, passed away in 1979. He was devoted to his family and is survived by his daughters, Carole Johnson and Patricia Guynn and their husbands Paul and Bob; grandchildren, John, Margaret, Catherine, Robert, and Courtney; great-grandchildren, Carlie, Gillian, John, Matthew, Addison, Leighton, and Anna Jane; great-great-grandchildren, Caitlin, Rachel and Riley; many nieces and nephews including Sherrie Williams, Ann Dye, David Saleeba, and Travis Dye; and beloved family friend, Hazel Walker.
