1. Re: [APG] Question on USGenWeb [1]
What a strange assignment! I wonder what the professor's agenda is in this?

2. [APG] NY Times article posted [1]
By separate email, I just posted an article from today's NY Times to this list that some might find intersting (or at the least, amusing.) It has to do with some death records in India that have been fraudulently registered so that dishonest family members can get title to land. Remembering well an incident on this list some months back (the scars still fresh on my back -- ) regarding copyright. . . I want to clarify the circumstances under which I posted this article (or more acc

Sorry, I was trying to do too many things at once. The URL is below. http://fisher.lib.virginia.edu/news/ Chad, you are correct, OCLC is much better, but when the closest access is miles away with parking problems, this is helpful.

4. [APG] USGenWeb student paper [1]
Dear all, For those of you interested in the student's report, I suggest you ask her margaret@browsersafe.com She was more than willing to share. After reading it, I don't see anything that makes anyones "motives suspect." Diane
5. [APG] Private Investigator question [1]
According to a California private investigator that taught classes here in the local junior college about searching in public records, a person in California needs a pi license to investigate a person or business unless the researcher only uses public records. Interviewing is a grey area. The laws to become a pi vary by state. Most states require them to have a police background and/or to have worked for a pi for a specific period of time and then to pass a test. A few states have almost no requirements.
6. [APG] APG-D Digest V00 #216 [1]
16 October 2000 I also require a four-minimum from clients. The time spent on studying the client's problem and deciding on the best strategy for research can easily total an hour or more. I decided that my investment in starting a new project should be paid by the client -- not just by me. I have a form response to e-mail inquiries, in which I state, "My fee for research, analysis, report-writing or travel is $30 per hour with a four-hour minimum. Expenses I incur on behalf of clients ... Within the min
7. [APG] Expert in Raleigh, NC [1]
I need an expert's expert in Raleigh to do a fairly substantial (paid) project on early NC records. Someone like Dr. Bradley, Weynette Haun, etc. who has time to do a thorough search and really knows the records before the Revolutionary War, with an emphasis on both land records and sources that are little used. Any suggestions? Carla Tate
8. Re: [APG] USGenWeb [1]
I know that those that have been long time researchers will find nothing new in what I am posting. Since the student posted her query I thought we may have new researchers who were unaware of the information on the GenWeb or how it can be used with other sources to obtain the desired results. My main area of research is Indiana so I do have the Census Microfilm Records Indiana, 1850 from the National Archives which was placed on CD by Broderbund. On the Indiana State GenWeb site the pre 1850 marriag

11. [APG] Illinois State Law [1]
As some of you may be aware, my firm located in Florida, was issued a Cease and Desist Order by the State of Illinois, for being a genealogist without having a Private Detective license. I was not afforded an opportunity to explain the type of work we do prior to the issuance of that Order. I retained a large law firm and appealed that decision. The Hearings officer agreed with my position and ruled against the State. The State then appealed the Hearing Officer's decision to the Appellate Court. Briefs wer
12. Re: [APG] Private Investigator question [1]
Different states have different laws to obtain a private investigator's license. In most instances it is NOT needed to do genealogy. Illinois took an adverse position. One of the key factors is whether you charge for your services or not. Harvey

14. [APG] APG List Archives? [1]
I just discovered that I seem to have fallen off the APG distribution list since Sept. 12 (if anyone has an explanation for this, I would love to hear it, as I did not initiate it.) No wonder my email was so quiet! Is there an archives of messages that I could review for the past month? There is no mention of one in the welcome message. -- Elissa Powell Pittsburgh, PA
15. Re: [APG] Minimum Hours [1]
Hi all, When people ask for a quick look-up; such as, an obituary, I am happy to do that for them. I save up these look-ups and do them all at the same time. It pays for my gas, and I'm usually going to the library to do some other, more intensive, type of work. (Besides, it is nice to be doing some research that does not involve heavy thinking.) The obituary look-ups almost always lead to further work. Some genealogists use this as a testing ground for professinal researchers. Connie Lenzen * - * -
16. Re: [APG] A problem of ethics [1]
Barbara-- I'd like to give you an answer from the client's point of view. I once made arrangements for a researcher to do some work for me. It was not a major project, but he kept sending me little dribs and drabs of things, and was not doing a great job--for example, he sent a photocopy from a census without a citation, and got copies of everything in an estate file, except the will (which I especially wanted, because I hoped that it might say something about one daughter, my husband's great-grandmother,
17. [APG] Information needed [1]
Could someone please help me to know where or how I should go about subcontracting out work? Do we have a place whereas professionals we can go for this type of inquiry? Also can you help by letting me know if any of you have had good or bad experiences with this process. Thanks for the help Cynthia M. Hofmeister
18. Re: [APG] Legal Terms [1]
Black's Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition , West Publishing Co, 1990 is the one I have on my shelf. I find it essential to have a good reliable reference aid such as this. Many genealogical texts have a few definitions of frequently used terms, but the Black's is thorough and relliable.

19. Re: [APG] Question on USGenWeb [1]
USGenWeb is a volunteer non-commercial project, so the idea of "legitimacy" is strange. That, and the fact that they not asking for money or anything.. i'm not really sure i understand the question. The history of the project is at: http://www.usgenweb.com/about/about.html It is one of the oldest genealogy sites on the web. The USGenWeb's state county sites are run by volunteers. Some of the sites are great repositories of data coming online, some are so-so, most all give info on where to write for
20. [APG] Thanks [1]
I just wanted to Thank everyone for all the emails I have received on my inquiry about Private investigators. There have been so many reply's I felt it best to put an all out email to the list once again Thank you all :^) Cynthia M. Hofmeister
21. Legal Dictionaries [1]
I have and use Black's Law Dicitionary, but also like Barron's "Dictionary of Legal Terms, A simplified Guide to the Language of Law." It is a pocket sized paper back (will fit into a briefcase or totebag) written by Steven H. Gifis. The front cover describes it as follows: Updated for the 1990s, over 2,000 legal terms defined and explained clearly and concisely. Translates "legalese" for the layperson. Hundreds of examples to illustrate the definitions. Ideal for quick reference or for learning more about
22. [APG] Legal Terms [1]
Does someone have a really good suggestion on a book that has the legal terminology which commonly pops up in genealogy? I keep tripping over legal terms in estate records and deeds that I need to clarify. I have checked several general genealogical reference books which do have some terms in them, but I am looking for something more comprehensive. It is partly curiousity and partly an urge to be exact in my descriptions of events. I have no legal background and while I have an understanding of th
23. [APG] CA Laws re Investigation [1]
I am a retired CA lawyer. I frequently investigated people during the course of representing clients. I did it, not a private investigator. No one, including the State Bar, ever suggested that a private investigator's license was necessary. In fact, we could be brought up on charges in federal court if we filed a case that had not been investigated before it was filed (which meant investigating companies and witnesses). CA has a number of state laws whose federal constitutional legality is questionable.
24. [APG] A clarification to my earlier message [1]
In my earlier message today, I stated that I needed documents copies and abstracted at the PRO. That acronymn stands for Public Record Office, which is the National Archive for Britain. Hence, if someone wants the job, they must either live near Kew, Surrey, England, or be planning a trip there really soon.
25. RE: [APG] I am still looking for a British records agent [1]
Chad... (and anyone else seeking professional assistance), it is always helpful to check the APG directory (print version) which has a very detailed subject index, and is also arranged geographically. The current directory lists seven members who reside in England and I do not know if any of them subscribe to this list. Should you want to contact one or all of them, I suggest you check the online directory to verify address and e-mail address. A fully searchable version of the online directory will be up
