Dear Susan, That 1920 Census is stated to be in Stevens Twonship. Now, getting Township info in Spokane County seems to be difficult. However, looking at an old map I found with some townships marked, it appears to me that in 1920, Stevens Twp included the town of Nine Mile Falls. I assume that the Boyces (and the Gallaghers) lived on Nine Mile Road, near the junction with Seven Mile Road, based on the 1930 Census, where the Boyces appear at this location and their near neighbours still include the family of Peter & Effie Gardner and Fayette & Gertrude Hubler. I am NOT certain, however, whether this was at the remaining intersection of Nine Mile & Seven Mile Roads (just east of Seven Mile Bridge) or whether, at that time, what is now Charles or Carlson Rd crossing the bridge at Nine Mile was also known as Seven Mile Road. I always thought that they has lived closer to Nine Mile Falls than to Seven Mile, but I just do not know at this point. Both my grandfather James and granduncle Benjamin were house carpenters and built many homes in that area in the 1920s and 1930s. Some years ago I heard that there was a woman who works at the Post Office at Nine Mile who lives in a "Boyce" home, but I have never been back to the area long enough to follow up on it. It may be that she knows where these families acrually lived.

If you "COULD" now go to my name on a Rootsweb board and click on it, you would see my help to hundreds on finding their family. I also help in mailing Lists, primarily the Norway List. But, you can't click on my name to see that any more. I can't even click on my own name to find something that I posted on a DIFFERENT board that answers the same question...without having to write it over, or forget part of the instruction. I can't click on someone that is inquiring on ONE board to find information they may have posted on another that has more complete information, or can guide my research to help them better. So, if a new user asks for help finding Grandma in Spokane, or Colville, or Norway, and doesn't put in their name, I HAVE to post a question "What is their name". I can't write to them for more information.

Hey Bob & Charles, I am impressed to be impressed by both of you. But I must reply. OK, I can send directly to the originator of a message (well, I COULD, even after the previous change, but can NO LONGER DO SO if the message was originated on the message board, because now the originator is subject to Geneland Security). If I use the "Reply" button, the message reads: To: [email protected] Subject: Re: WASPOKAN DIGEST, Vol X, Issue X So I must then go down the list and find the original message, copy and paste the subject and then get on with things. OK, I can do that. But, in my doddering old age, I thought the point of all of this new technology was to SIMPLIFY things! On the old system, each message in the Digest was discrete. If I hit "Reply", my answer went to the originator; if I hit "Reply All", it went to both the originator and the List. (OK, maybe I have those backwards, but it was one or the other). And the Subject was filled in and it was specific and it had to do only with the query to which I was responding and IT WAS SIMPLE. Now, in the new, improved version, I am having to do more work. Basically, what both of you are telling me in different ways is that what I could do so easily before I now have to think about and work to do. Petty? You may say so. But why complicate something instead of simplifying it? Some of us---damn it!!!---are getting older (and doing so faster than some of you youngsters!), and our fingers can't keep up with our minds and if it gets harder to work with a system (instead of easier), we'll just do something else. A similar point applies to the new message boards. There seems to be no way to control them. The subject lines are grossly truncated, so that it becomes necessary to tediously open every potentially relevant line to see if it is applicable. And THEN, they are set up in order of last posting date of the last contribution to a particular thread! I.E. Charles Blow asked about his grandparents James Albert and Roberta Hemmersfeld Watterspoon on 1 July 1996,; and there has been no subsequent interest in that topic (and Charles Blow may well now be dead!); but Lucreatia Monaghan has noted a previously obscure inscription at the base of the monument to her great-great uncle on Monroe Street that seems to read "J.A. Watterspoon" and posts an enquiry as a reply to that previous post on 8 December 2006. Bingo!!! In the "new, improved, whiter than white" message board system, that is now "TOP O'THE LIST"! (And, then this shows up on the "Mailing List " as [email protected] or some such) I may be old, but I ain't so foolish as not to be able to follow paper trails. Consequently, I am very well aware that "Rootsweb.com", "Ancestry.com" and "Genealogy.com" are facets of the same corporate (and corporal) entity. So far, however, the latter (perhaps because it has always been the "baby sister' has been left alone. It works in a way that anybody can understand---including those of us who have come late to the technology revolution. Will they nail this down, as well? Probably? Why are they doing this? It clearly IS NOT enhancing things, making communication and transfer of info easier, or facilitating the work of the non-professional genealogical research community. So. WHY are they doing this? Maybe to cut costs. This thing (the new message boards) looks like something that might have been put together on a Commodore back in about 1980. Maybe because ancestry/rootsweb has a near monopoly on genealogical information exchange in America (and, therefore, in the world) and so they can do what they want? But then again, WHY make life more difficult for users? Well, duh! Let's follow the money. "jewels.com" owns almost all the superdiamond mines in the world. Its big business is selling superdiamonds. There are other superdiamond resources, but their development requires great investment of money & other resources, or they simply will not co-operate with "jewels.com". Most of those resources are accessible on a limited basis to individual miners who pay appropriate mining fees and expend their own resources to extract whatever gems they can within the time limits specified in their individual licenses. These independently extracted superdiamonds are traded on an independent bourse, but the expansion of the trade, as a result of the rapid expansion of the number of independently licensed miners/dealers in these independent mines makes it difficult for the originators of that bourse to maintain it without increasing costs. An angel arrives, in the person of "jewels.com". "We will host your bourse because we believe in what you are doing. We love free enterprise. Your offer of 'free-market' superdiamonds will enhance, and will be enhanced by, our multinational sales and marketing team. And before too long, the only major, internationally recognized and generally highly reputed "free-market"/non-cartel source of superdiamonds is the bourse managed on behalf of independent superdiamond miners by their principal competitor: "jewels.com". Oh, and I guess I overlooked a really important point here. When those individual miners agreed to trade through the bourse controlled by "jewels.com", they also, thereby, deposited the superdiamonds owned by them in the vaults of "jewels.com". Bottom line: You no longer own any family information you have submitted in any form to ancestry.com, or rootsweb.com, or even the more friendly genealogy.com. Genealogy/Family History is HUGE!!! If you even run just a family website and pay for that, you cannot imagine the costs involved in maintaining storage for, say, 1 million family histories. The concept of "free" Internet genealogy is totally illusory. Even if ALL public records could possibly be displayed on the Internet, without any indexing/searching capability, they would be, at best, marginally useful. There is, undoubtedly at this point, a role in the world for "genealogical superdiamond trading" And we NEED a debate on how we make access freely & fairly available. The world is "multi" or "pluri-lateralizing". You might not like it, but there it is. Meanwhile, our "special" world of genealogy has been "monopolizing". Come on. We all knew that "rootsweb.com" and "ancestry.com" (and anyone who's ever called the various "Help" lines could also tell, without corporate analysis) "genealogy.com" were the same company. And we all knew who was behind it/them. You didn't grow up in downtown Spokane without feeling the encroaching shadow of the Church of Latter-Day Saints. We bought into this because, why shouldn't we? Good, cheap efficient exchange of genealogical info. It worked for us. We initially could not believe it was free, but we were sucked in by the existence of large-cost infrastructure on the imaginarily free Internet and, man, did we feed into it. And rootsweb.com, in its "generosity", by providing "free" hosting, absorbed almost all of the GenWeb project. And we were stupid and we bought in. And who is rootsweb? And who really is "ancestry.com" OK I have posted little on any public site that is not public info. It may have taken me a lot of effort to get it, but it is mostly public info. I don't begrudge anyone having it who wants it FOR LEGITIMATE FAMILY STUDY I do begrudge anyone taking advantage of my work in the independent superdiamond mines for their own enrichment. We have brought this on ourselves by smiling and letting a single entity absorb GenWeb and most of our personal research. Not to put too fine a point on it, even those of us who grew up in Mormon country and should have known better have engaged in a decade-long (mis)trust of the Mormon "Church" and its well-cloaked public business entities. Even if this cartel is not "controlled" by the Mormon "Church", it reveals, unfortunately, a characteristically Mormon approach to commercial dealings: "gentiles" (meaning those of us who are not Mormon) are "fair game" for fleecing. Such commentary (unless it is directed against Muslims) is, I fully understand not "politically correct" in Amerikastan. That failure to "toe the party line", and to speak the truth while seeking a better solution, is, however, the initiation of the correct political response to the Mormon "Church". It is "the Church" that owns, controls, influences pr motivates the principals of ancestry, rootsweb & genealogy.com. It is "the Church" whose doctrine is that "Gentiles", i.e non-Mormons, are "fair game" for any exploitation by Mormons. It is "the Church" that wishes to control/monopolize/manipulate genealogical information. To ignore this political involvement of the Mormon "Church" in the preservation and dissemination of genealogical data on the Internet would be disingenuous or dishonest. To continue to acquiesce to it will be disastrous. The "Church" has beaucoup bucks. That's why they can control sources like familysearch, ancestry and rootsweb. We all love getting something for free. And they have "fed" us for years. Can we wean ourselves? Can we band together as seekers after truth and pay the price? I'm too old to create Webpages/indexes/etc. And it may be that our community of historians/genealogists is, in general, too old and too incapable to take on the task, but what we NEED, and what it is now CLEAR WE MUST BUILD is a new resource, and one that is free of any influence except that of the researchers and one that can, will and MUST respond to their needs. So, how do we do this?

Well, first they screwed up the mailing lists (can ANYONE actually reply to a specific message on the list any longer without going through computer gymnastics?). Now, they've made the "new" boards look like something that would have been done on a Commodore in the early days of "mailing lists". They are SO un-useful for the exchange of and research into genealogical data that I also wonder (he said cynically) if this is not a way to get us all to abandon our info donated over the years so that ancestry can commercialize it. Well, no matter. I hereby freely abandon all I have contributed and will only be using the GenForum boards from now on. Anyone else want to join me? James Boyce Farges.

Kathie The boards do not require you to subscribe, and a lot of the boards are not gatewayed to the lists like this one is, so you might miss those posts, but I agree the mail list is better than the boards.

Can someone tell me how to get to the "board?" All my emails come directly to me and that is the only thing I really look at. If the board is the layer upon layer of postings without any way to figure out accurately what the post is about, then I guess I know what it is. But I don't really know how to access it. I have accidentally gotten to it through a google search, I think...

James As the administrator of this list, is there something I can do to help you with the list? I have it set so replies go to the list by just hitting reply on most computers. I agree the new "boards" will make them a lot harder for researchers, but they are also supposed to make it harder for the spammers to mine addresses. I don't administer any boards, so like you I am just a user of the boards.
