I submit this for the Lists consideration -
You have searched through the census, been to the courthouse, sat for
hours looking at roll after roll of microfilm at the library and youve
come up with a pretty complete history of the life of great granddad
Jeremiah. You have all of the important dates noted and doubled checked
them. And, most important, you have all of the sources cited. You have
entered the data onto your computer files and sent it off to one of the
half dozen family tree groups. Success.
Hi,
I've had several researchers ask me where the name "Micajah" comes from and
what is it's meaning. Found this link to a good site on the etymology of
First Names in case anyone is interested.

When I have asked newspapers in the past for a copy of any obituary, they

World War I Draft Notices
Last week I sent out a notice about the WW1 Draft cards being at the GA NARA
branch and that the cards are found in state / county / surname order. I
also said the cost of copies was 50 cents.
I got bombarded with messages saying FALSE, FALSE, UNTRUE. All ranging from
you "have to have draft board, name, age, etc etc" to "Totally FALSE cost".
"UNTRUE Post" and "You are Misleading People". Jeez what a mess !! Makes
me almost wish I had never posted the message.
So let me clarify
Hi Betty,
I don't know the address for the Waynesville Library but you can find almost
any address at this url. You would search under yellow pages for the library.

You might also want to check with the Asheville Citizen-Times (http://www.citizen-times.com).
I doubt the obituary would still be accessible online, but I'm sure they would be willing
to sell you a copy of it.

Some of you have written to inquire about these articles. I would think the
best way to obtain them would be to write the Burke County Genealogical
Society to inquire if copies of back issues can be obtained.
Sorry, but I can't tell you how much they would cost. I've copied and pasted
into this message, all I have at this time on the BCGS.
Write the Society at the address below

Tim Stowell, our National Coordinator for the USGenWeb Project, sent this
address to our State Coordinators list. It's the url for doing a search, by
state, for any Unclaimed Property. I visited the Ga site, and found my name
listed for Warm Springs GA. Since my husbands family is from Warm Springs, I
sent an email to check it out. Who knows!! maybe Uncle Ben or my father in
law placed something in my name and never told me! Anyway, it will be easy
enough to find out and make a claim if it is me.

Hi List,
