Hello, I wanted to call everyone's attention to a number of new files recently provided to the US GenWeb Archives here in Washington. The complete burial lists of twenty Thurston County cemeteries, in 22 files, have just been uploaded to the internet for the free use of everybody. These represent most of the cemeteries in that county, and the lists include the names of a number of famous figures in early Territorial and State history. The information was provided to the US GenWeb Archives through the generous cooperation of the Olympia Genealogical Society, and through the diligent hard work of Jerri McCoy, who transcribed and formatted each file for the internet. Jerri is well known in both the Olympia GS and the Washington GS, and is also the Thurston County GenWeb Coordinator. Other Washington counties with extensive cemetery records in the US GenWeb Archives include Klickitat, Stevens, Wahkiakum, and Whitman. To view the records, or for more information, check the following: Washington GenWeb Archives http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wa/wafiles.htm Washington Cemetery Project http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/wa/wacem.htm US GenWeb Tombstone Transcription Project (national) http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/ Washington GenWeb Archives (FTP Access) ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/wa/ If anyone wishes to contribute other cemetery records, please contact me, we have some specific file requirements. As always, records in the USGW Archives are provided to the public free of charge or advertising of any kind. Thank you, Kevin Fraley (Swimref@cmc.net) Washington Manager, USGW Archives

Hello all. I thought that you may be interested to know that I have recently completed Phase2 of the Dawson Family History Project. This site is much more interactive that the previous site (which still stands, but will be taken down within the coming month). With the exception of the Feedback Page which is still being troublesome, one search the site. The site itself is located at http://ntfp.globalserve.net/dawson [note the ntfp rather than www]. I hope that you find it to be useful. The intent of this site is for it to be the focal point of a collaborative effort to gather and deposit information that will help others in their quests. Please take the time to have a look, and to let me know what you think. Cheers Jim Dawson Dawson Family History Project - A Guild of One Name Studies Site http://ntfp.globalserve.net/dawson

Just in time for Memorial Day! You can now immortalize your loved ones with your own loving tribute to them -- and know that it will be read so long as man can capture words from Cyberspace! USIGS - the United States Internet Genealogical Society -- is making space available in its Library for a memorial collection. To see what others have done, go to http://www.usigs.org/library/memorial/ or go to the USIGS home page (newly updated) -- http://www.usigs.org -- and trace its links, not only to the Memorial page but to other sites of interest. The Memorial Tribute Collection came about when a member was startled to find his local newspaper would charge $1000 for a picture and a memorial obituary of his father in law. He found that this charge may be high for those in smaller towns, but that newspapers generally charge from $45 to several hundred dollars for this service. USIGS will "publish" the tribute (including a picture) for a small fee of $25. A brief obituary may be posted for $5, an additional $10 for a picture (either black and white or color.) A newspaper is read today and discarded tomorrow, but an MTC page is planned to last in perpetuity, just as cemetery upkeep. Funds collected for the memorials will go into a designated fund, interest on which will be used solely for upkeep of the Memorial site. Think what a wonderful source the MTC will be for genealogists of the future! There, under each person's name, will be bits and pieces of the fabric of their lives, as remembered by their families -- the stuff that we all would be delighted to find today about our ancestors. This site is not just for the newly dead. You may remember anyone in your family -- here is where to remember what great stories Grandpa used to tell, what great cherry pies Granny baked. Here is where to point out that Dad had only an eighth grade education but he founded a business with 1082 employes. that Mom taught Sunday School for 28 years and made little ceramic figurines and dressed Barbie dolls. Here too can be remembered the youth who pitched Little League ball and was so proud of his new car that he was paying for by flipping hamburgers at MacDonald's until --- Well, you get the idea. This is not a place for family trees, although family members may be named. This is for personal recollections about someone who was once a living, loving person, not just a name on a family chart. It is a Memorial Tribute to your loved ones, as only you can make it. Check out the site today and start thinking about what you want to write. All the details and instructions are on site. And hey, let us all know when you have your story

While doing research on my own DAWSON line in Whatcom County, I discovered another one. I was intrigued by this one because like mine Mr. DAWSON was born in OH, and Mrs. DAWSON in Iowa. I haven't found the parents of these children yet, but probably will when I get to the 1900 Federal Census for Whatcom Co. Unlike my DAWSON family, though, these children were born in Nebraska, while the children in my DAWSON family were born in Iowa. But I still wonder if this family and mine might be related back in Ohio. Anyways, here are the children and their families as I've found them in the 1910 and 1920 Censuses. Zerah or Zeidlet? DAWSON b. abt 1880 in Nebraska Annie E. (wife) b. abt 1883 in Kansas Randolph E. (son) b. abt 1903 in Washington Rhoda M. (daughter) b. abt 1911 in Washington Josephine DAWSON b. abt 1882 in Nebraska George C. HESS (husband) b. abt 1870 in Germany (her bro George DAWSON was listed with them in 1910, I'll have to look for them in 1920) Harry DAWSON b. abt 1887 in Nebraska Claudia (wife) b. abt 1890 in Washington Jack (son) b. abt 1912 in Washington Gerald (son) b. abt 1914 in Washington George Emil DAWSON b. abt 1889 in Nebraska Viola (wife) b. abt 1894 in Texas Hilda (daughter) b. abt 1912 in Washington Gladys (daughter) b. abt 1914 in Washington George (son) b. abt May 1916 in Washington Does anyone know this family??

I got this from the Moore-L mailing list, and I think it is such a neat important project, I am passing it on.
