Hi Larry,
Don't know what that kit is, but a very interesting collection of files for somebody starting is the archive MYRA.ZIP (or .lzh or whatever).  It is a collection of articles that appeared on Prodgdy (SPELL?), and heve some good info for Americans.

I wouldn't where you could find it in America, but here in Africa it's on a few BBS's ;-)

In one Montreal LDS center, they don't accept people to bring in their
diskette and will sell you the diskette (for a minimal fee).  At least one
local genealogical club (it is the name it has) had many problems with
computer virus.  However, with some care (i.e. never boot from a diskette
from unknown origin), no virus can go to a computer if it is used only for
downloading data to diskette.  From the original posting, it is obvious
that not all LDS centers will take that care about virus!

Subject: English royalty

I am trying to verify a story from an old letter which goes as follows:

	"Our great-grandparents on our Grandmother Bergers side
	were of royal English birth...  Lucy Ann Murdick Berger
	was born in February (exact date unknown) 1838 near Toronto,
	Canada.  Her father was John Murdick and her mother was Lady
	Anne Hutchinson of English Royalty, as she married a commoner,
	she was kicked out of the family and they sailed west to
	Canada... The Murdicks left Canada, and came to Dubuque...
	A wagon train was forming and they joined it coming west
	to Sioux City [Iowa]... to Dakota County [Nebraska] in 1857
	(sic) to take a homestead."

I have the following information from other sources:

	John G. Murdick (Murdic)
	born:	1813, England
	died:	August 22, 1869, Dakota City, Nebraska

	Lucy Ann (Luciana) Murdick
	born:	April 21, 1840, Toronto, Ontario
	married: February 4, 1858, Rockville, IA to A. Frederick Berger
	died:	November 5, 1921, Dakota City, Nebraska
	siblings: John Murdick, William Murdick, George Murdick,
	Elizabeth Owens (Elizabeth Bliven), Sarah Jane De Borde

I have tried checking a number of books on English royalty but have
not had much luck.  Can anyone be of further help or suggest an approach
to this problem.  Thanks for any help.

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

 The story which Max posted reminded me of something I'd been meaning to
 post for awhile.

 In Colorado, there is a project underway by the Sons of Confederate Veterans
 to locate, and ascertain the condition of graves for Confederates throughout
 the state, with possibly an eye towards providing care for gravesites and
 maybe providing historical/memorial markers.

 I surveyed a number of graveyards in the Southwestern part of the state
 (hard to do in the winter - many of them are under 10 feet of snow!).

 If you have an ancestor who was in the Confederate Army, AND you know in which
 state they died (not necessarily served), then the state chapter of the
 SCV *MIGHT* know where the grave is located.  If anyone is interested,
 I can turn up an address for the national SCV, and they could direct you
 to current state chapters.

Myra Vanderpool Gormley has written several genealogical books, including
one on genetic diseases - she is also a columnist (syndicated in the U.S.)
who appears on Prodigy and GEnie, among other U.S. commercial computer
systems.  I would guess that MYRA.ZIP is a collection of her articles.
(Hopefully they aren't infringing on any copyrights....)

Hello all,

Since there seem to be so many new people on this list, I'd like to ask again
if anyone might have information about a particular Fish family from Rhode
Island.

I'm looking for info on John and Welthy Fish, I believe of Tiverton, R.I.
John died about 1830. Their child, Lusanna or Elusana, married James Harvey
Petty of Westport, MA in 1832.

I'm trying to learn something about the parentage of John and Welthy Fish.

Anyone know anything?

Subject:      LDS IGI update
Comments: To: roots-l@VM1.NODAK.EDU

On Saturday, Sept. 5, I made my very first visit to an LDS
Family History Center.  It was a bit noice that day because of
the excited energy being burned off on talk due to the arrival
of the 1992 update to the IGI microfiche.

Several women were sorting and filing the fiches all day long.
We received the fiche for only the U.S. and Canada.  The others
will follow when available.  The IGI on CD-ROM has not yet been
released and no one knew when it would be.  Fortunately for me
I was able to consult the 1992 fiches before wasting time on the
1988 ones.  Unfortunately, I only found one relative in 5 hours
of searching them.

If you haven't been to your friendly local Family History
Center lately, you'd better do so as the 1992 fiches have
millions of new names in them.

BTW.  Everyone at my FHC called the fiches "fish."  Is this
the preferred pronunciation?  I work in a large university
library and we all say "feesh?"  Also, is the plural of
"fiche" really "fiches" as I have implied throughout my message?

But when it costs 25 dollars to purchase the check you are going to send
through the mail, it may be cheaper to risk losing the cash.

Why don't you just send cash?  Your local bank should be able to sell
you pounds in ounce quantity without charging you tons.

Vivienne,

This is dated 9/7 and is another attempt in the open to get a message
back to you in this conference.

Letter is on the way.

Your information regarding Laidlaws & Hoggs of 9/1 is exciting and
really fills in some gaps.

Are the Hawick Archealogical Society holdings indexed or cataloged?
Are they available on  microfilm?  Seems as though these might be some
information for me these as it appears my ancestors were from Hawick a
long way back.

Help!

When I first found about the ROOTS-L forum, I joined and got so much mail I
couldn't handle it. After gleaning through some information that was sent, I'm
ready to do something. What I need is someone to step me through this so I do
it right.

1) How do I send a tiny tafel file? My new Brother's Keeper will create it,
and I would like to submit it. What are common pitfalls? 2) How do I search
other people's tiny tafels? 2.5) How can I get back in touch with possible
connections? 3) What is a surname list and how do I submit it? What format do
I need? 4) How do I search other people's surnames on the list? 4.5) How can I
make connections with matches?

Do I need to subscribe to the roots forum? I read somewhere in all the stuff I
received that I could FTP, but lord, I couldn't put my hands on it now.

Is this why they call it the information explosion?
