Please forgive me if you receive more than one of this message as a result of being subscribed to more than one mailing list. It's an important enough issue to both genealogists and the public in general that we should get the word out quickly. If the increasing trend towards closure of public records throughout the country is of concern to you, be sure to tune in to the DearMYRTLE internet radio show discussing the topic TONIGHT by visiting www.DearMYRTLE.com and call the show 1-877-638-7234 between 9-10 p.m.Eastern Standard Time in US. Below is the post relating details of the show and a post Myrtle received regarding proposed legislation now in Indiana, following on the heals of the one that came up and passed in the VA House the other day. There's another one proposed in Missouri: http://www.house.state.mo.us/bills03/member/mem115.htm It's not too late to stop either of these bills if everyone takes action. While protecting ourselves against identity theft is essential, both the VA bill (http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/VAALBEMA/) (text of VA bill attached at end of this post) and the IN bill (http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/INHENRY/2003-02) http://www.in.gov/legislative/bills/2003/IN/IN1540.1.html are very poorly written and ambiguous, giving up much more than is necessary for reasonable and adequate protection of privacy against identity theft. The genealogy community must NOT be naive and think that we can simply sit back and blindly trust the "good intentions" of the people sponsoring such bills. Sometimes good intentions are enough; but when it comes to law, good intentions carried out with incompetence can be devastating. Regardless of the writer's intent, laws are carried out exactly according to what they actually say, only to the limits or with the intentions that are clearly and unmistakenly written therein. If the wording of the law is broad and vague enough to allow very strict limitations to access, you can bet that such strict limitations will ultimately occur. Likewise as genealogists, sitting by and saying "that's not my state, it's not my concern" is extremely foolish, because (1) we know our ancestors may leave us searching for their records anywhere; (2) every such law that is passed anywhere sets precedent for more to be passed;and (3) genealogy or not, these laws seriously restrict the freedoms on which our country was founded and for which our mothers have sent their sons (and now daughters) to die in defense thereof for over 200 years. I don't want to give the impression that I'm a fanatic, but the basic scenario of naive people blindly trusting the "intent" of their leaders and allowing certain restrictive laws to be passed while everyone stood by and did nothing, eventually resulted in the European holocaust of the Jews, not to mention the countless other human tragedies in history! The time to stop such serious restrictions is BEFORE the laws are enacted, not later. Please help spread the word about this critical matter; tune into www.DearMYRTLE.com tonight from 9-10 p.m.EST US; and contact the legislators of any state considering such legislation to make it clear that you are against it for very good reasons.

T. Graves, Here are a couple of websites which might be of help to you. The first one is for Red Warrior Cemetery, just north of Leewood, where the road forks toward Kayford and Decota. For some reason, just the first page of the listing of names comes up, so I could only reach it by changing the "1" in the URL to "2", then "3" for the three pages listed. There are several MEADOWS listings on page 2. I have relatives buried there, and visited the cemetery about 3 years ago. But, the cemetery is virtually inaccessible (except by four-wheel drive vehicle perhaps). It is very overgrown and their are bears in the area (according to a lady who lives by the road to the cemetery). That ended my curiosity. The second website is for Kanawha County cemeteries. http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvkanawh/cemetery/ On Thursday, January 30, 2003, at 10:01 AM, WV-CEMETERIES-D-request@rootsweb.com wrote: > > > WV-CEMETERIES-D Digest Volume 03 : Issue 12 > > Today's Topics: > #1 Re: Cabin Creek [tgraves@nc.rr.com] > > Administrivia: > To unsubscribe from WV-CEMETERIES-D, send a message to > > WV-CEMETERIES-D-request@rootsweb.com > > that contains in the body of the message the command > > unsubscribe > > and no other text.

Surnames: Steele, Williamson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Dz.2ADEAE/83.1 Message Board Post: My great-grandfather, grandfather, and other relatives worked as coal miners in West Virginia in the Cabin Creek area. I'm not sure if you are referring to the little town of Cabin Creek near the Kanawha River, or the wider area called Cabin Creek. My mother grew up for part of her childhood in a mining town called Republic which she and the family also referred to as Cabin Creek. It was in southern Kanawha county below a town named Decota (not sure on spelling) which is still there. Anyway, my grand-uncle, his wife, and grand-aunt are all buried in the cemetery at Republic. We were there to visit the cemetery in 2001. The road was gated, but we were allowed in by the folks who lived by the gate. There may be other similar cemeteries in the old mining towns down there. I've heard that the Prior Funeral Home handled most of the funerals in that area. They may be able to give you some good information. Hope this helps you out.
