1. Re: Time of birth [1]
Rebecca and all, I cannot give advice with NY records, but as as a possible explanation, accurate astrology charts require the time and place of birth. My grandmother calculated and read astrology charts for a living ca. 40 years ago, before computers. Her book of her family's charts is a genealogists treasure.

Ask the state for a "full" birth certificate or the "long form" of the birth certificate. Many birth certificates are abbreviated or abstracted versions of the original. The hospital will help you, IF they still have the records. But the request must be from the individual on the record, or the parent. In other words, you cannot request it for a client. Kathleen W.

Being of a somewhat libertarian bent, I'm inclined to say the best rules are "no rules". When I moderated a couple of conferences on the Fidonet system that was my credo.

Greeting to all APG Members The Birthday Committee is still in need of members to volunteer their time during the Birthday Celebrations at the NGS and FGS conferences. We need members who are willing to wear a badge with their area of expertise and be willing to answer questions. The idea is to give each person who attends the celebration a ticket which they can use to ask a question of an APG member. There will be a reception at Richmond and St. Louis. Pick either/or/both. It should be a fun time for

12. RE: how can I become a genalogist? [0.979469]
Botwinick: Good question.................... I own a genealogy bookstore and write a weekly genealogical column in the Houston Chronicle. I, also, teach genealogical classes and lecture. In the past I lived and conducted professional genealogy in New Orleans and in Atlanta, Georgia at the State Archives, the National Archives and several local libraries and courthouses. While I feel the Clayton Library, here, in Houston is very comprehensive and is one of the very best collections of the South and some
13. Re: Learning Curve [0.979469]
On the other hand, the professional does possess the general methodological which would enable one to proceed quicker than the amateur while learning the records. I believe in offering disclosure of one's state of knowledge and an appropriate discount to the client and allowing the client to decide whether or not to patronize you. (Of course, one would never use this avenue to learn garden variety sources but only to pursue sources outside the norm that have promise.) Lisa sparrow1@aol.com

21. Re: FBI Files [0.979469]
The actual time for processing ranges from 6 months up to 66 months [about five and a half years]. It depends upon such factors as whether you are asking about yourself or someone else, whether your request is complex or simple, whether the resulting records are more than a couple of hundred pages, and which track your request is put into. But they do process the requests eventually, particularly if you respond when they ask you by letter if you are still interested in getting the records. Michael Ravnit

Rick.. Thanks for letting us know that the APG website is down. None of the pages should be restricted or forbidden. I'm copying Peter van der Heijden who is our webmaster, and the officers of APG so they know about the problem. Peter is working on redesigning the site, and adding the capability of using a credit card for membership, so that might be the reason. Kathleen W.

25. Re: Marketing Issues [0.979469]
Few thoughts to add in as well: 1) Invest in having a professionally developed business image (includes logo and stationary planning), brochure & ad. When you're in a crowded market, and you want to do well (i.e. you're relying on this company to pay your bills and plan for your future), you have to be the one to get people's attention first, and that means you need to stand out from the crowd. If you're the only professional genealogist in your local area, you may not think it necessary, but if you'
