Can somebody provide an address, or a standard phone number for GeneSys -
it is my understanding that you cannot dial US 800 numbers from the UK.

Sorry I came into this so late but my husband has done many wall charts
using PAF - DOS version.  I absolutely love having this wall chart hung
on my wall and being able to see at a glance all of my ancestors.  I go back 17
   generations on some lines so it's a good size chart.  If the person who origi
   nally was interested in this (I lost the original request) contacts me I will
check with my husband to see how he does it.  It appears to be a fairly
simple process.

(My apologies if this is an inappropriate subject in this forum)

In response to Gerry and Malcom re:Whisk(e)y,

Having both Irish and Scottish blood coursing through my veins,
I hesitate to enter into a discussion of the merits of Whiskey vs. Whisky.

Suffice it to say, we on this side of The Pond speak a "slightly
modified" form of the Queen's English.  No real distinction is made
between whiskey and whisky.  In most cases(or on most cases :-)),
the word is spelled Whiskey.  I was taught by my Irish Grandfather
that Irish Whiskey was one word in this country, mainly to distinguish
it from the Scottish variety, commonly known as Scotch in this country,
or the American versions, known as just Whiskey.

Whether is is the Irish "uisce beathadh" or the Scottish "uisge beatha"
(blame Webster if I spelled it wrong, I don't speak Gaelic), I prefer
it old, cold, and waterless.  Actually I prefer Tequila, but when at the
Highland Games.....

Subject:      Buffalo Creek, WV

Can anyone tell me anything about Buffalo Creek (West) Virginia?
I have been trying to find information on an ancestor born there
in 1794.  From titles of books I see, it looks like there was a
mining company owned dam that burst and destroyed an entire town
in about 1972.

The town I am looking for is Buffalo Creek, Brooke Co, VA.  (Which
I believe is not WV, but I don't know.)  I don't know if the books
listed below refer to the CREEK or the TOWN.

I am looking for the record of the birth of Isaac Wartenbe, and his
subsequent marriage to Mercy Pierce Robinson, also born in Brooke Co,
VA 7FEB1793.  Both died in Defiance County Ohio, after living for
at least a while in Muskingum County Ohio.  Isaac's parents were
William Wartenbe and Catherine White, and Mercy's were Aaron Robinson
and Mercy Pearce.


selected titles:
Prolonged Psychosocial affects of disaster:  A study of Buffalo Creek.
Everything in its path:  The destruction of Buffalo Creek.
Death at Buffalo Creek, The 1972 Flood disaster.
The Buffalo Creek Story:  The survivor's unprecedented lawsuit.

Daniel Ridings, Ulf Berggren, Arto Kujala, Katrina Gerhard,

responded to my request via private email. Some gave me
short notes, some long, some several; all valuable, all
highly appreciated.

I have thanked all of them privately, but my mail occasionally

reading these may like to be assured that there really are lots
of helpful folks out there!

Subject:      Delta College, Saginaw, MI

I got an interesting call last night, which is prompting me to try
and get my time adjusted to start doing some more genealogy.  (I've
been inactive since about June.)

It seems my great grandfather had a log cabin in the Saginaw
Bay area.  A history professor at Delta College has found it, and
finding it in relatively good condition, is restoring it and having
it moved to the campus where it will be a museum piece of early
Michigan history.  They are trying to do a genealogy (both ways)
to figure out where he came from and what progeny he left.  They
contacted one of his children called my aunt, who called my mom,
who called me....

Does anyone know if there is a Bitnet connection at Delta College?
or is there anyone on the net who might be able to assist with some
leg work for me?

Thanks.  I'm still stuck in Alabama....

Subject:      WWI Polish Army from Canada?
Comments: To: ROOTS-L@vm1.nodak.edu

From a conversation with my father, I found out that
his father somehow served in the Polish army in WWI,
but trained in Canada.  My grandfather supposedly came
to the US (Chicago) around 1913, then at some point went
to Canada (Montreal or Ottawa) and joined the Polish Army.
As far as I know, he was never a Canadian citizen, but at
some time in 1920s he became a US citizen.

Does any of this make sense?  Has anyone ever heard of
this Canadian branch of the Polish army?  Have any idea
where I might find more information?  I don't have any
documents, only a picture of my grandfather in a uniform.

Subject:      Kentucky Research

Readers of the list with Kentucky roots may want to read an article by
my colleague, Joe Nickell, published in the special Kentucky bicentenial
issue of the _Filson Club History Quarterly_. The full reference is:

   Joe Nickell, "Kentucky Genealogical Research: An Investigative
  Approach," _Filson Club History Quarterly_, Vol. 66 (July 1992),
  449-478.

Nickell surveys the major primary & secondary sources for Kentucky;
experienced researchers will be familiar with many of these. Some
however are not so well known, but should be. Perhaps the most
useful section of Nickell's article is headed "Investigative
Alternatives," i.e., suggestions on where to go if an obvious
source is missing or incomplete. Since in its 200 year history the
state has seen major fires at sixty-one of its one hundred twenty
courthouses--most during the Civil War--such alternate sources
are invaluable.

The Filson _Quarterly_ is one of the two major scholarly journals
devoted to state history & should be available in most large
libraries. If you can't find it, you can try writing:

    The Filson Club
    1310 South Third Street
    Louisville, KY 40208

to purchase off-prints.

Cheers.

HELLO !!!

I am doing a small favor for my sister's best friend, Linda.  Linda
has the urgent she needs to contact her brother, Richard V. Collier
about his teenage daughter.  Richard was last seen or heard from his
own relatives in Arkansas after his divorce from his first wife over
10 years.  His daughter is diagnosed to have a lymphoma cancer
recently and she wants to see her father so badly.   His last known
residence is somewhere near Louiseville, Kentucky and it could be
in the area of either Valley Station or Shelbyville.


I would appreciated your assistance in providing me the address and
phone number of Richard V. Collier if you find thru the phone
directory.  So I can pass it on to my sister and then she will pass
it to Linda.



                                Appreciately yours,

                                Rena Jo Arnold

This is to ask a favor of any ROOTS reader with more computer knowledge than I
have (that's almost everybody).  Last week when I posted my note about
Brothers Keeper and pictures, Alf Christophersen expressed interest and asked
me to UUENCODE the files and send them to him.  I didn't know what he was
talking about so I asked for more info.  When he explained, I tried to get the
proper program from hallc1.cebaf.gov, but I messed it up.  When I tried other
methods to send him the BK files, including STEED16.EXE (the self-extracting
picture file), I failed each time.

Could someone please send Alf all the current BK files in the proper format so
that they will work.  His e-mail address is

alf.christophersen@nutri.uio.no

For those of you who don't know, that's in Norway.

Many thanks!
