I work at an archives and the standard procedure is to simply to photocopy 
the clipping onto high-quality bond paper and dispose of the original. The
clipping itself has no intrinsic value, it is the information that you want 
to preserve.

To my knowledge, there is no way to preserve the newspaper itself.

As for photographs, yes, we store them individually in acid-free envelopes.

One reason is that not all stuff sent has the correct date
format. Such messages are refused sent by several systems on
Usenet Netnews. Some mailers are sloppy, others are strict. I get
most post because the thread btw. me and auvm.edu have only
'sloppy' mailsystems, so I can see my own post sent directly to
Roots-L, but many will never see my post sent from my Lifeline
Mail program because it add an invalid datestamp. Marty discussed
with me if Listserv should bounce back to mailer all messages
sent with a mailer that add a wrong datestamp, but has waited to
do that until I get a new mailer:-)

There are surely many other reasons too. Maybe that could be a
research job for somebody???

Especially thank you for putting in the ASCII version on request.

Naturally I am disappointed - the people I was after weren't there,

Can anyone tell me if there are any Constantines still living in the 
Sprandal/ Bretten area near Karlsruhe.  I recently discovered that my 
g-grandmother on one side of the family came from the same village as my 
g-grandfather on the other side, the Waechters.  Much more is known about 
the Waechters, but not much about the backgrounds of my g-grandmother 
Caroline Constantin (perhaps with K's), her brother Johann, and sister 
Susan (Susannah?) who emigrated from Sprandal in early 1880's. We think 
they had siblings in Germany, but don't know who, and also don't know their
parents' names.  Records have John, Karl, and William as the father's name 
and Barbara Monstaffer as mother's (on only one record).

I have run into a deadend looking for my ancesotors--JOHN MURRAY

natives of Morgan County, Pennsylvania.  There is no Morgan County,
Pennsylvania and never has been.  However, there are three small
towns by the name of Morgan in Western Pennsylvania.

A John Murray and Peggy Houghstater were married in Jefferson County,
Ohio in the early 1800's.  Is there anyone out there who has researched
the name HOFFSTETTER?  I have seen it spelled as Hufstetter, Hoffstater,
Hofstatter, Houghstater, Huffstater, etc.

My John Murray and Mary (Polly?) Huffstetter has at least two sons,
Benjamin Franklin Murray and Thomas Jefferson Murray.  Thomas J. Murray

More on Franklin, from Encyclopedia Brittanica:

Surprisingly, the encyclopedia had *very* little to say on the subject.
There was no listing for the state of Franklin, and nothing about in the
history of Tennessee.  I finally found out a meager amount by looking up John
Sevier (the "governor" of the state of Franklin).

The state of Franklin existed from 1784 to 1788.  Eventually, it dissolved
itself and became part of the new state of Tennessee (in 1792?).  That's
basically all I could find.

Wow, that is interesting, I have a friend who is descended from Dr.
Benjamin Rush.  I'll have to tell her about that, but I bet she already knows.
Mosquito borne diseases were quite common in that era weren't they?  I
read about fevers abounding around the Great Lakes region.  I also read in
a book about Faulkner the annual threat of rabid wild dogs and how the
kids would have to stay inside during that time.

We now have a new problem with TB when we thought we had gotten rid of
that scourge.  I know people who were put in sanitoriums and the idea that
ide and cold baths would cure them and they mostly killed them.  My
ex-step mother tells about the years she spent in one in California in the
mountains and how she was so despondent when they had to send her back again.
She had to leave her kids with relatives who were not kind to them and in
later years contributed to a son's mental illness.  A terrible price to pay!

I better stop rambling on, but thanks for your information.

One requirement to mailing lists is that responses to broadcasted

One requirement to requirements is that somebody has the power to

The dictionary says that "pesthouse" (one word), meaning a hospital for the
isolation of people with contagious or epidemic diseases, comes from "pesti-
lence" which means, in short, plague.  "Pestilence" comes from Latin
"pestis", meaning plague.  The English word "pest", meaning an annoying in-
sect, also comes from Latin "pestis".  So the word for the beastie comes from
the word for plague, not the other way around.

First, this is a world-wide group, and if anyone has the ability
to send Email to the ROOTS-L Mailing List they are welcome.

We do not limit access to anyone / anywhere.  Anyone may SUB to
this list or SIGNOFF as they wish.

About 4 years ago it was requested that users limit the size of
ROOTS-L mailing list message to about 10-15,000 bytes.
Of course most of them are only about 1/2 page.

This upper limit seems to be about the right size, and most readers
do concur.  If you later get a match of a surname, you may send
DIRECT email to that person.

All the questions, comments, letters, and requests which have ever
been on ROOTS-L are still available for search and research to those
who want to send a 'request message'.

The GENEALOG area has about 6megs of files now, all in ASCII, and
one of them tells how to do these kinds of search for information and
or surnames of interest.

Those interested may request the GENEALOG file:  srchfile  by sending
the following line to:  listserv@vm1.nodak.edu

Good luck to all.

I'm not an expert at the subject, but I do remember something of the  
subject, and guess it is 90 per cent correct if, unhappily vague in  
some areas because my books are at home.

The State of Franklin was *founded* circa 1780s, and only lasted  
about 2 years.  The area was what we speak of as East Tennessee, and  
then was referred to by North Carolina authorities as, The (Western?)  
Military District of North Carolina. Local politicos lead by  
Revolutionary Hero, John Sevier, one of the leading citizens of the  
area.  Sevier  had conducted several *pay-back* raids on the bada*s  
Indians who objected to the influx of white men to Indian lands. 

Colonel Sevier and his brother were declared (by North Carolina  
warrants for their arrest) outlaws, and were hunted.  Congress would  
not recognize Franklin because of the high handed way Sevier and his  
cronies had handled the affair, and  the objections of the offended  
State.  I think Sevier and his brother were sprung from jail and  
later tried in then Washington County, NC, and acquitted, since the  
jury pool was largely in favor of the creation of the new state.   
Soon after, however, the North Carolina authorities let Congress know  
they would be pleased to be free of that area.  The main reason was  
that those people living in that District were unhappy North Carolina  
would not supply more militia for their protection against the  
Indians - really ferocious Indians - and besides, North Carolina had  
enough on its plate dealing with problems closer to the capitol, like  
depredations by bands of white men who pillaged farms and killed  
anybody they liked; I'm not sure, but I think that sort of thing  
began during the Revolution by patriots outraged at the Tories (for  
supporting the British).

I think that John Sevier was one of the first (maybe THE first)  
governors of Tennessee.

The state of Franklin was long before the civil war. It was in the 1790's if
I remember correctly. The U. S. was a much different country then. It was
standard practice when people did not like the current government they set
up one that they liked better. Often the old government would fold up and go
away. Sometimes the new would would fold up. By 1830 this way of doing things
was going out of style. After the civil war it was impossible.

Many of the people in the mountains between North Carolina and Tennessee did
not believe that the existing governments were paying enough attention to
their region so they set up the state of Franklin. Among other things this

the situation was unclear.)
