Like most people here I've avoided commenting on these inane little
barbs that get tossed around from time to time.  However just this once,
I really think comment is appropriate.

While I personally prefer that soc.roots not turn into a forum for
theological discussion, I certainly don't think it should be a platform
for condemning the beliefs of others either.  Such comments are totally
inappropriate anywhere, but especially here.  

In my own research, the good old IGI pointed me in the right direction
more than once, and the various microfilm files available from Salt
Lake have produced a wealth of information that I almost certainly
would never have found on my own.  It seems to me that any genealogist who
would bite the hand that provides this kind of help -- virtually without
cost -- must be smoking something...and inhaling.

So how about we just go back to discussing genealogical issues and restrict
the comments about Mormons, Catholics, Jews, Baptists, Pentecostals,
Methodists, etc., etc., to someplace like alt.bigots?

End of sermon.  Pass the plate.

The same thing happened to me.  My great-grandfather supposedly came
from Hamburg, or so I was told many years ago.  After I asked my
grandmother shortly before she died recently, she told me that he came
from the same village another great-grandfather came from.  That
indeed checked out.  According to "Germans to America", the
pseudo-Hamburger did come through the port of Hamburg, so that is
probably where the false story originated.

Hello All,

     Chris Munnelly asked how to pay fees for records in, say, pounds
sterling when the fees charged for money orders etc. tend to be MUCH
greater than the amount required.  One suggestion was cash, and I have
sent cash overseas, especially to Germany where the level of honesty of
public officials appears to be very high.

     Another popular method of making overseas payment would be to deal
with REUSCH INTERNATIONAL.  In the continental U.S. call 1-800-424-2923
for further info.  I haven't personally dealt with them, but I've heard
you can get checks issued in nearly any currency for a nice low fee.

Webster says: fesh (with a long e) also fish, n, pl fiche also fiches

So I guess there is no "o-fiche-al" pronunciation preference. (:^)

For pronunciation and spelling, I like to follow the advice offered by
our famous president Andrew Jackson who once said, "It's a darn poor mind

2.  Is it possible to obtain the names of officers if I have the place

I would agree with Dick, that the term Scotch should not be used when
describing people either for people from Scotland of Americans claiming
origins from the North of Ireland/Scotland.  I know that Scotch-Irish
is the popular terminology in America, but I would encourage people to
start using the term Scots-Irish.  This "label" is now well established
on this side of the Atlantic in places like the Ulster-American Folk
Park in County Tyrone and has superseded the usage of Scotch-Irish.

Refraining from using Scotch as a national label is a sign of respect
for the people of Scotland, and may avoid embarassment on holiday ;-).

BTW, Dick, Whiskey is Irish, Whisky is Scotch :-).

All these talks are Wednesday evenings at 5:30, with a social hour

They will also be offering a beginner's course in genealogy on

Subject:      Old-time alphabetized lists.

Like all of us, I've spent considerable time looking through lists
of names, alphabetized in the modern way, not alphabetized at all,
and all degrees in between.  Something about the way some of them
here in Kentucky are arranged nibbled at the edges of my conscious-
ness for a long time before it finally surfaced.

In the old lists the alphabetization apparently was based on the
first letter of the name and then the first occurrence of a vowel,
IRRESPECTIVE OF THE CONSONANTS IN BETWEEN!!  The names, as far as
precise alphabetization (is that a word??) was concerned, were
pretty much willy-nilly, but they broke down into manageable
subsets that could be scanned without too much difficulty.
Once I realized this was so, it made looking for names quite a
bit easier since the pattern was consistent.  It became easy to
spot the subset breaks and you would know which subset a
version of the name you were looking for would fall into.
It avoided scanning a (roughly 1/26th) portion of the list
for every entry, hoping to pick out the right one.

Has anyone else noticed this (or a similar) pattern/patterns?
It might be useful to discuss how the various "alphabetizers"
proceeded.

 Louis Southwick Farnham, had a son, William Henry Farnham

The "Genealogical Research Directory", which is an annual publication, uses

that disappeared so long ago that very few living people would be able to

I don't know of any "official" standards.
