Thanks! Elaine, Certainly looking forward to your book, will it be available for all of us to purchase? Let us know as soon as it is available. Thanks again, Ann Craig

Hi everyone, I just wanted to say, my Book - "Via Family Tree" is on the way to the Richmond Library today! I know it might take a few months before it is on the shelf, but it is on it's way. If anyone gets to the Library sometime in the next few months, please let me know what you think about my Book. I think the BEST part is at the end, with the Via Love Birds! I have 36 pictures of married couples on ALL different Via lines. I wanted everyone to know how I appreciated all the wonderful pictures and information that was shared with me. That is the BEST part of the family tree, making friends. I am already working on my second Book for the Library. I have over 1000 certificates on the Via family tree. I am already making copies and putting them all in a Book. It looks like it might be 3 or 4 volumes. NO information on the living will be in the Books. If you have any suggestion or thoughts about my Books, PLEASE use my email address ElaineVia@comcast.net and NOT the Via List Thanks, Elaine =^..^=

The following e-mail is of great concern to any genealogists who use archives. Please read, sign the petition, then send this to any other Rootsweb or genealogy lists you're on. The President's budget recommendations for Fiscal Year 2006 slash or eliminate more than 150 federal programs. In that budget, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) has been targeted to receive NO funding. This includes no funds for the grants program and no funds for staffing to support the NHPRC programs. It effectively eliminates NHPRC. The Council of State Historical Records Coordinators, the Society of American Archivists, and the National Association for Government Archivists and Records Administrators are working collaboratively to address this threat to NHPRC and NARA. Archivists across the U.S. are rallying to save NHPRC while also ensuring that NARA has sufficient funding to sustain its current programs and continue to advance in areas that benefit all archival repositories and every citizen of the United States. As part of our efforts to continue to express to Congress interest in restoration of funding for NHPRC, we have created an online petition. Please consider signing this petition, and please forward it to any listservs, e-mail groups, or organizations and people you feel would be interested in helping with this effort. It is a quick and easy way for many people to assist. The petition will be forwarded to the House Appropriations Committee and Subcommittee on Treasury, Transportation, HUD and the Judiciary in late May. The petition can be access at: _www.savearchives.org_ (http://www.savearchives.org/) Click on the "petition" button. If you have not received a previous action alert on this issue, we encourage you to also write a letter to your members of Congress.
