Craig -
You DO sound cynical. I think you have the wrong idea. I believe the
information is being made available for people who are seriously
researching their ancestors and it is a short cut. Otherwise they would be
contacting the funeral home directly. Also - death records are public
record so the right to privacy thing does not exist. I believe
Genealogical Societies are not for profit organzations and I don't believe
any money they receive is going for anything but to maintain valuable
historical
Amen to that, Craig! To gain materially abroad from record searches is
inexcusable.

I've been researching Pottawattamie Co, Iowa, and someone at their
Genealogical Society told me they found a marriage certificate for BROZY BUGNO
and ANNIE DURACINO, married January 1, 1880, Columbus, NE, and were from
Poland.
Does anyone here have a connection and want that certificate?

Hello,
I am fairly new to Genealogy and was wondering if anyone knew anything about
tracing someone of Native American descent My Grandmother swore that her
father was a Native American, but I have no idea how to go about finding out
if he really was. Any good Nebraska resources on this subject? My Great
Grandfathers's obituary read almost like he had been adopted or was not his
parents natural child.

FYI. If one sneaks through on a RootsWeb list, they ask that you forward
them to abuse@rootsweb.com The key is to forward the entire message so
they get the headers too...not a cut and paste of just the message.

That sounds like something many of us Easterners would like to know
more about, please put replies about land patent records out to all
reciepients on NE Mailing list.

I have had no trouble with SPAM since I quit AOL. I don't really think
it is connected to any list. I have several rootslists coming, but no
spam for several months.

Karen,
I would not use the word greed because I don't have the time, money or patience to
do what Mary does. Mary is the unpaid "volunteer transcriber" who mentioned the
word greed! Now, let's get the list back to genealogy.
Please,
Craig

Dear list
Yes, many service providers have filters also. If they are very good
then you stand a chance of being bounced or unsubscribed from a list
that allows something to sneak through. I have been bounced from Surname
Query twice now because of something like this. Both of my providers
checked it out and it was something getting through that their screeners
didn't like and rejected it. A few rejects and your off the list.

Last night I was handed three sets of index cards for deaths in Omaha during
those three years. The data came from the Health Commission, and in some
cases, that is about all that is on the cards: name & death date. In some
cases, the cemetery information is also on them.
I'd be happy to check the information for anybody who thought some of their
family members died during that time period. Please be patient with an answer
though, I do 12 hr night shifts when it's my turn to work, and if I get a lot

3 sons were born, Willard, Luther, and John C.
Evidently Phebe died in Blue Hill, as Charles went back to Michigan and
remarried in 1899. Son Luther was also back in Michigan by 1902. We believe
Willard and John C. stayed, but have no track of them yet.
Would like to find some record of when Phebe died, maybe find where and when
she was born that way

Yes, they all seem to be going again. Most of them came back online last
night, and they have been sending out the messages that came in while
they were working on the system over the weekend.
I hope everyone was able to handle the peace and quiet for the last few
days.

Sent a letter requesting an obit to the public library in June, no response yet.
Anyone have any experience with a timeline from this library? I sent a
check, SASE, along with my request. Going on three months now, should I be
patient or start a follow-up?
