Summary: what is the current version?
Keywords: version number

I'm a little confused. I received the original 5.0 version from JS and then 
keep reading about this or that addition to the software. I see references 
to 5.0b (4/22) where John talks about corrections and additions. And then I 
thought I saw something somewhere about 5.0e but lost the reference to it.

Trying to find out where we are I sent for the current directory of BK files 
from No Dak Edu and find the following available:

08/16/92 2871 ASCII PD:<MSDOS.GENEALOGY>00-INDEX.TXT
^= most current file

01/22/92 239195 binary PD:<MSDOS.GENEALOGY>BK50E1.ZIP
01/22/92 229777 binary PD:<MSDOS.GENEALOGY>BK50E2.ZIP

02/07/91 71168 binary PD:<MSDOS.GENEALOGY>BKINDX.ZIP

Latest references to Brother's Keeper go back to January. Before I bring the 
above in here to takle a look, does the E in the name mean anything? Is this 
the original 5.0 release?

How come the most current directory entries are so old? 

(Below is a description of a 5.0b on the same system that apparently does not 
have it available. Or do they backdate the directory entries somehow?)

Subject:  File:  "GENEALOG BKREADME" being sent to you

NOTE:  This is the README.DOC file for the Brother's Keeper 5.0b
dated 4.22.92
Corrections or additions to the BK5 documentation as of 22-Mar-1992

[description of charts and graphics stuff deleted]

Can anybody clear this up for me? I would like to keep my software current and 
see what I can do with the graphics facility.

What is the ROOTS-L List and the LISTSERV ?

Are you REALLY new to the Genealogy Discussion on the NET?

Then read on !

We have had and will have several requests for "FAQ" help (frequently asked
questions) sent to the "List" and not the "Server".

If you are new at this, as I was, it can be very confusing and frustrating.

There are two (2) addresses that you MUST know the difference about.


	1.) The 1st Address:

	    The mailing "LIST"   (one of these should work)

					ROOTS-L@VM1.NODAK.EDU   (for internet)
					ROOTS-L@NDSUVM1 	(for bitnet)
					ROOTS-L@NDSUVM1.BITNET  (has worked
									for me)


				this address reroutes your text discussions
				to everyone "in the world", almost. If you
				send ANYTHING here, it will be seen by
				everyone on the Roots Mailing List (Roots-L)
				Do NOT send Server COMMANDS here. (see next
				paragraph)


	2.) The 2nd Address

	    The file "SERVER"   (one of these should work)

					LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU	(for internet)
					LISTSERV@NDSUVM1	(for bitnet)
					LISTSERV@NDSUVM1.BITNET  (has worked
									for me)


				this address is the computer, more or less
				that keeps actual files of info in Fargo, ND.
				When you send your COMMANDS for info to this
				address you will get a reply from "a computer"
				either giving you the info you requested or
				error messages like "hey, you don't know
				what you're doing




So, to summarize, if you want to "chat", send your mail to the LIST.
If you want to use the resources of the Roots-L (files) send your "commands"
to the SERVER.

Comments: To: Roots-L Genealogy List <roots-l@vm1.nodak.edu>

Interestingly enough, I have had a great deal of success using the
_Germans to America_ series and I never expected that I would.  The
ancestors I was searching for all came from Luxembourg and I have thus far
found everyone who immigrated to the U.S. during the time period the
indexes covers that I was seeking.  I don't know if it is dumb luck or
what!  The spellings have even been fairly accurate.  The passenger lists
included in the series are based on whether or not there were passengers
whose nationality was identified as German on board a particular ship.
Many libraries with genealogical collections have this series and it is
worth a shot anyway for those people with ancestors who emigrated from
western Europe.  Since many ships leaving Le Havre, Amsterdam, etc also
stopped at English ports many UK passengers also are included.

In 1813 Francis (Enfield) Ralls -- nee Francis Enfield turns up a
widow in Montgomery Co.  KY.  She married abt 1794 John Ralls
(b. 1768~1771) whose family was from Stafford Co. VA, although he
may have grown up further west in VA. They were part of the great
migration that began in about 1790...

Family tradition states that the Enfields were from North Carolina,
but they might have come from Virginia (there is a town, Enfield
VA)... but I havn't been able to find such a family...

Anyone know of one?

Subject:      Seeking information on Wisham
Comments: To: ROOTS-L@Vm1.NoDak.Edu

    My great, great, great grandmother was Rebecca Wisham whose second
    marriage was to my great, great, great grandfather, James Prickett, in
    Champaign County, Ohio, on 6 November 1824.  She died on 7 September
    1844 in Kendall County, Illinois, and from her tombstone, it appears
    that she was born in 1802.  From land records in Champaign County, I
    found the following reference to Rebecca's father:

     1831 Apr. 9:  JAMES PRICKETT agreed to sell SE 1/4 of S20, T5, R12 to
     Joseph Vance.  Deed was recorded 8 Nov. 1831 in Champaign Co.,  OH (Deed
     book J, page 220):

      "...All That parcel of land in said county known as the southeast
      quarter of section twenty (20), town five (5), range 12 ??  which
      said land was patented to JOSEPH WISHAM assignee of James Brown and
      by the said WISHAM devised by his last will to his  daughter REBECCA
      PARKER now REBECCA PRICKETT, wife of the said JAMES PRICKETT..."

    So Rebecca Wisham had been married to ?? Parker before she married
    James Prickett, and Joseph Wisham was Rebecca's father.  I tracked down
    the land reference through the National Archives and found:

     1815 Oct. 5:  JOSEPH WISHAM acquired land in Champaign Co., OH, as the
     assignee of James Brown's bounty land warrant.  The land was  165.08
     acres located at the SE 1/4 of S 20, T 5, R 12 in Champaign Co., OH
     (certificate #4631).

     1816 May 31:  Patent on land in Champaign Co., OH (SE 1/4 of S 20, T 5,
     R 12) was issued.  Markings on land patent indicate "Recorded in Vol.
     16, page 8" (I've been unable to locate this volume.)

    I was able to determine that James Brown originally purchased this land
    on 12 April 1808, but unfortunately I have found no other references to
    Joseph or Rebecca Wisham.  I am VERY interested in hearing from anyone
    who is researching the surname Wisham.

                                                Thanks.

It certainly sounds like it might be a match.  All of my family originates from
Staley Bridge and there are still Broadbents living there.  I only have back as
far as a John Broadbent, n\k birthdate, but he married a Sarah.  They had at
least 1 sonk3 named William Henry Broadbent who married Elizabeth Harrop.  I
don't know either of their birthdates but Elizabeth died 28 Mar 1919 in Staley
Bridge.  They had a son Tom Harop Broadbent (My grandfather) who was born 14
Dec 1880 and married Edith Conway Jones.  They also had a dughter Esther Jane
Broadbent who died 28 Mar 1938 at age 16 I think.  A Son Harold Broadbent who
married Alice Ann Hatton, he was born 16 Dec 1891.  Another sone John Edward
Broadbent who was born in 1883 and another daughter named Martha Broadbent born
in 1887.  Any information you might have that you could send me would be
appreciated.  I can pass along all of the current stuff I have if you are
interested.  Thanks so much, this is exciting.

possibly a LC search would be more productive.  Melodie? Tom? any help?)

p.s. I'll be glad to e-mail my list to those interested, or of more than 
two or three requests arrive, I will post.

p.p.s The Janson reference was from a series titled "The American Immigration
Collection, Series II"  This may provide an opportunity for additional
research, if you're not Swedish (:>)

It is not very surprising that you can't find a map for Ottawa County, Quebec,
Canada.
Ottawa is a city/municipality(not to mention the national capitol) within
the Province of Ontario.  Quebec is an entirely different Province of Canada.
While Ottawa is on one side of the Ottawa river that seperates Ontario from
Quebec,
to my knowledge there has never been an Ottawa County/City or any other
municipality named Ottawa within Quebec since Confederation in 1867.  The
Quebecois city on the Quebec side of the river is called Hull.

Well, this isn't a library, but if you are living in Boston, try going
to the NEHGS (New England Historical and Genealogical Society). They
have all the available censuses (censi?) on microfilm, as well as many,
many other reference materials. They are located on Newbury St., on the
Boston commons end of the street.

You are not allowed "free" access to their library. You either join
(which I believe is about $40 for a year - less if you're a student) OR
you pay $5 per visit to the library. You can pay $5 for the first
visit, and if you think that it is worthwhile to become a member after
using the library, you can deduct that $5 from your membership fee.
(This is what I did, by the way. After using the library for 30
minutes, I went downstairs and joined.)

This info is from 3 years ago, when I joined. Call them and ask for
up-to-date information.

My 2 cents,
Matt.

PS - I guess that I should say that I have no connection with NEHGS,
except as a VERY satisfied member. I won't make any money, or get any
brownie points, if anyone decides to become a member after reading this.

PPS- a few months ago, someone had posted info on NEHGS possibly becoming
connected to the InterNet (well, most likely to NEARnet.) Any more info?
