Dear genealogists:

	I am sorry announce that I am going to shut down anonymous ftp
genealogy site hallc1.cebaf.gov on about February 1, 1993.  The machine is
needed for other things now and I am also generally becoming busier and
busier.  I announcing this shutdown a couple of months in advance to give
people a chance to orderly transfer files that they might want.

I would really like it if someone else could take over this archive of
genealogy software.  If there is anyone out there who is interested in
maintaining a collection of genealogy files on an ftp site please send me
mail and we can discuss it privately.  The current set of files only take
slightly more than 20 MB.

10th November 1992

The Scottish have their tartans, which were discussed in soc.roots
some time ago, in one of those "the desert flowering" bursts that
seems to characterize the soc.roots newsgroup.

I am not of Scottish descent and have long thought it a pity that
there is no comparable tradition of Family Cloths in other countries,
so far as I am aware.

Do people agree that it might be a nice idea to start such a
tradition?

Actually, I was also looking for a newsgroup like this for some time... 
and although I probably CANT spell "genealogy", I was fairly confident
that searching on "gene" would have turned up what I was looking for...

Needless to say it didn't, & I resorted to signing up for Prodigy (blech)
because I was told a very active Geneology BBS was there.  In fact it
is pretty good, & I would recomend it if it wasn't so full of comercials.

Organization: Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal
Date: Sat, 7 Nov 1992 20:59:12 GMT

I am trying to find information about my great-great-grandfather Lawrence
Hiller and his wife Anna Bayly.  Their names are the only solid information I
have about them.  The other leads I have come from documents concerning their
son Robert Joseph Hiller.

Robert Joseph Hiller  was married in Montreal, Canada on Sept. 5, 1888.  His
marriage certificate provides the names of his parents.  Robert Joseph died
in Montreal on Jan. 11, 1933.  According to the death certificate he was 65
years 10 months old.  Therefore, he would have been born in early 1867.  At the
end of his death announcement in the Montreal Gazette of Jan. 12, 1933 we can
read the following:

             Southampton, England,  Brooklyn, New York, and Boston and Toronto
             papers please copy.

This would suggest that he had relatives and/or friends in these places, and
that the local papers were asked to carry the announcement.

Robert Joseph Hiller's last surviving son, William, died last year.  The
information I got from him a few years ago is very sketchy.  He thinks his
father came from a European country, leaving his parents behind.  (I heard
some mention of Germany, and of England, but I have no hard evidence).  He
would have landed in the U.S. before coming to Canada, where he married at the
age of about 21.  Unfortunately, William told me that a box of family papers
that could have helped me was lost during a move in the 1960's.

My gut feeling is that Robert Joseph Hiller's parents were from the area of
Southampton, England.  Can anyone help?

The African American Genealogy Group (AAGG) is dedicated to the encouragement
of and support for genealogical research in the African American community of
Philadelphia and the Delaware Valley. This group was founded in January 1989 in
response to the ever increasing number of people who express the desire to
trace their "roots" or who are already tracing their family trees, Since that
time, membership has grown with the steady addition of both novice and advanced
researchers. In keeping with their goals, they have established programs on the
fourth Tuesday of each month with guest speakers from the fields of genealogy
and/or history, along with teaching sessions from their experienced members.
Additional programs include seminars for beginners, trips to archives and
libraries, and trips to conferences. Meetings are held at the Afro-American
Historical and Cultural Museum, 7th and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, PA on the
fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:00 PM, from September through June, with the
exception of the December meeting which is on the second Tuesday. Annual dues
are $15.00. AAGG, P.O. Box 1798, Philadelphia, PA. 19105-1798, (215) 574-0380.

Hi Carol,
I noticed something interesting in the naming of illegitimate children in South Africa around 1900-1910.  The one's I found had the (presumably) father's surname as a name.  
eg.  Davidina Fourie Strijdom  (Was the father David Fourie?)
     Georgelina van Vuuren Strijdom (Was the father George van Vuuren?)
     
In these cases the surname is the mother's, but the names seem to come from the father's.

I have a question for California residents/researchers.

I need to get an Oakland death certificate from 1945.  What is the
fastest way to get this?  Should I write to the state Department
of Health, or would it be quicker to write to the county?  I have
an exact date of death.

I'm asking this because here in New York you'll wait over a year
to get a response from the state, but pretty quick from the locality.

Thanks!

Comments: To: Roots-L@ndsuvm1.bitnet

This is a long shot. I have three names that I have lost although they turn up
in Ireland in different periods.
The first is Kirchoffer. The family were Germans joiners
who settled in Dublin 1709 and
 went on in subsequent generations to become clerics in the Church of Ireland.
The last Kirchoffer record I have from County Cork in the 1830s and I assume th
at they emigrated - perhaps to Canada. If anyone knows anything about them woul
d they please contact me?

The second name is that of a man who held land in Ireland and took Palatines on
 to his estate. He was there in 1715 but I can't find out who he was. The name
looks Dutch and he may have come over with William of Orange. Is there any trac
e of him in Dutch archives?

The final one comes from my work in local history. I was born and brought up in
 Clarecastle, Co Clare and this lady was the immediate lessor of houses in this
 village in the 1850s. The title is not in the British or Irish titles perhaps
it could be a Continental title - maybe Spanish or French. Has anyone any ideas
 where I might get the relevant information?

If your ancestor joined the U.S. Army, rather than the local militia, a real
gold mine is available in Natl Archives microfilm series M-233, "Records of Men Enlisted in the U.S. Army." It begins in the 1790s, and goes on to the 1900s.
It's an especially useful source for Mexican War soldiers. I found an 1812
enlistee, when some of his relatives had joined the state militia. I suppose
nearly all of the Indian War soldiers are probably in it.

It's not indexed, but calendared - i.e., all of the A's are together, but not
alphbetized within the A's. It seems to be grouped by single years, mostly, but
some less active periods may be combined.

If you're lucky, you'll get name, rank, unit joined, company/regimental c.o.,
height, eye color, hair color, complexion, age, birth county and state, date
and place of enlistment, enlisting officer, term of enlistment, and summary
of service until discharge or death.

I found it very useful to discover that the child of my reputed Indian had
fair hair and blue eyes.

The full set is available at West Los Angeles FHC, but I think they got it
from Natl Archives, as the boxes don't have LDS Film numbers.

Hi,
Is there someone in The Netherlands who from time to time visits the
Centraal Bureau voor Genealogie or Rijksarchief Friesland?
Would you be willing to look up a couple of things for me?
I would appreciate it.

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

I purchased my copy of PAF for the Macintosh about a year ago.

The file version is "PAF Release 2.11", with a file creation date of
November 9, 1989.  I believe that 2.11 was a maintenance release over
2.1, something to do with a printing problem.

Although it is not strictly genealogy, I thought I'd announce to
this forum, the creation of a new USENET newsgroup by the name:
alt.adoption

The newsgroup is intended to cover all aspects of adoption from
adopting to searching for birth-parents/children.

Genealogic searching techniques are invaluable in searching, so
I thought that there may be some people here who are interested
in that type of newsgroup.

Regards,
Brian Gix
