Comments: To: ROOTS-L@VM1.NoDak.EDU

I've seen some mail recently alluding to the "NEW IGI". Is this the 1992
 edition, and does
anyone know if it is out yet.

If it is out, is it available on CD?  Would anyone have any ordering information
about it. (eg how much, where to write to etc) I have decided to take the plunge
 and buy
a CD player for my PC when the new IGI comes out.

About six weeks ago I put a program called CEM051.ZIP on GSDS, and also 
made it available for anonymous ftp from hallc1 and simtel20.

We are hoping for feedback from those who have looked at this program. It is
for recording cemetery inscriptions, and is intended to be used as 
a tool for those taking part in cemetery recording projects. Such 
projects are usually sponsored by family and local history societies.

If you have ever taken part in such a cemetery recording project, 
please have a look at this program and comment on it.

Comments: To: roots-l@vm1.nodak.edu

To Roots-L subscribers:

I am lucky enough to have the chance to visit
the Salt Lake City facility at the end of this week.

I was wondering if anyone has any helpful hints for
making my time there as efficient as possible.  - OR -
Does anyone know of an informational file that I may
down load and review?

The major part of my research will be for ancestors
from the Netherlands.  Several family branches start locally
here in Grand Rapids (or Holland), Michigan and eventually can
be traced back to the Netherlands.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
Please e-mail to msmary@ap.cl.msu.edu

Thank you.

FIRST:  Messages are not distributed "thru" fidonet, are sent to, via a
        gate and the connection is at SOC.ROOTS (btw: since when was
        SOC.ROOTS moderated?)

SECOND: The problem when someone in USENET wants to send a message to
        someone in FIDONET they need to be aware that simply replying
        to the message will not get the message to the destination,
        that software is not in place, nor is it likely to be.
        The problem continues in that in FIDONET it is common practice
        to see "personal" messages mixed in with "normal" traffic,
        provided it deals with information not directed to a particular
        person and to the sole benefit of that person; there are messages
        that are to the benefit of just one person, and so the groups
        will have moderators to deal with it.  Nearly all groups in FidoNet
        have moderators.

THIRD:  A posting was placed on instructions on how someone in FIDONET
        could communicate with someone in USENET without setting people
        off in USENET, as people in USENET to communicate with people
        in FIDONET.

FOURTH: Intructions were given in that same posting for those in FIDONET
        to limit there line lengths to 72 characters, because some USENET
        mail handlers/readers can't handle it, even though they can handle
        lines around 132 characters.

It's a little confusing, that's sort of understandable.  So if you've
sent a message to fidonet in the last some days (specifically, BDRAGON.
FIDONET.ORG) and it bounced back, then try the instructions listed in the
prior message on getting the mail to FidoNet.

So that's the scoop.  If someone has a specific question then email or
netmail whichever is the case.

The best defense against this kind of problem is to 'always' include your

Hi Fred,
As I understand it the Tafel Matching System doesn't work with locations except to check that they are there.  They are for human use after one received a match report to see whether you are really interested in the lines in the report.

Regarding the mechanics of updates, that depends on the TMS your TT is included in.  At the moment there's (due to a TMS limitation) three different TT net's.  There's the North American one, where a lot of systems share the TT data between them.  There's one in the UK with hope for more in Europe, all connected into one system sharing TT's.  Then there is my own here in Africa, which is a standalone system.  I can't say anything about updates and the other systems, but if I see you upgrade TT here in the 






newsgroup (or if you email it to me) it WILL be included, i.e. will be used to replace your old one.

I've given this TT as I received it, but I agree with your sentiments.  To me the easiest would be to stay with the name as used by the inhabitants of of the city in question.

Wonder what other people would say about this?

Carl August Leistritz was born on May 23, 1822 in Nieder Wueste
Giersdorf Kreis Waldenburg Regierungs Bezirk Breslau.  In the
alphabetical conscription list he drew the No 967 on May 27, 1842. This
was conducted by "Die Kreis=Ersatz=Commission des Waldenburger Kreises"
or the District Replacement Commission for the district of Waldenburg.

A note at the bottom reads: Without presentation of this (draft card) no
local authorities may issue a uniform of a militarily obliged person.

I also have an old letter from February 1855 where the Royal Prussian
Consulate in St. Louis, Mo. writes to Karl August in response to his
letter in which he asked for information on his brother's whereabouts.
The letter states that according to his last record he settled in
Diamond Spring, El Dorado County, California.

QUESTION: Do the records of the old Royal Prussian Consulates still
exist?  If so, where can one obtain information?  It appears as if the
consulates kept good track of emigrants or travellers to America.

I also have a letter from a trans Atlantic liner company to Karl August
in June of that year confirming payment of 40 Marks for fare and ready
cash.  The company recommended that he arrive in Berlin by June 13 to
arrive in Hamburg in plenty of time.

QUESTION: Does anyone know of a ship leaving Hamburg from mid to late
June 1855?  Where could I find a passenger list, destination, etc?

I am new to document research and have acquired most of my knowledge
through personal interviews and documents retained by my family.  Any
suggestions on how to move forward would be greatly appreciated.

The point of my earlier post wasn't clear.  I know how ILL works and the
main library here offers the service.  Out of 3 town histories, Northfield
was the only one they were not able to obtain.  Whoever they found through
OCLC with the book was unwilling to lend it.  So I thought I would check

You can also order it from your local Family History Center (from the LDS Church)
for $2.75 per roll. They'll order it for you from Salt Lake City, and you
have 3 weeks to go through it. The index is a Soundex index, and the records
are listed alphabetically by the first name, for each soundex code.
They don't yet have a Soundex index for all states though, if I remember
well. You can always check with the National Archives (or one of its regional branches)
in Wash DC.

If you know the county where the person lived, then consult:

Martis, Kenneth C.
   Historical Atlas of United States Congressional Districts, 1789-1983.
    (New York: Free Press, 1982).
    LC Call No:  G1201 .F9 M3 1982
    ISBN: 002920101500

It has both maps and the listing of each congressional district and the 
Counties which each one contained.  (When the district contains only
part of a county [as in an urban area], then a description of the portion
of the county is given).  The only warning is that the maps and listings
give the counties' names and boundaries AT THE TIME OF THE REAPPORTIONMENT,
counties created later (between reapportionments) will have to be searched
under their parent counties.
