Gena, I intend to join the GENTREK chat on Aug 10 but, I was wondering if it is possible to see the previous chats.

I would like to have joined USING GOOGLE FOR GENEALOGY on 30 Jul but, I didn't know about it. I would like to know what was discussed.

It was a great help to receive the newsletter with information about scheduled chats. Thanks, Dodie

Gena- am I looking in the wrong place, I am looking for the uploaded presentation from last nights chat on Genealogy Research and Resource Notebooks, Part 2. Did I misunderstand something... I thought it would be uploaded on this site or emailed to whomever wanted it. Could you direct me to the link or would you please be so kind as to email it to me- Kaye Karl thanks Gena.

Gena,
Regarding my "favorite genealogy book" I have read at least a half dozen & bits and pieces of possibly another dozen "how to" books, but the one that stands out in my mind most is Norman E. Wright's BUILDING AN AMERICAN PEDIGREE, pub. by Bringham Young University Press, 1974. I know this is not a current book with the addresses and how to do genealogy on the internet, but I started doing this almost 40 years ago (before I had a computer or the internet).

Gena, this is Kathryn Walizer, I was talking to Gus Marsh about publishing his family history. I told him the Allen County Libriary in Fort Wayne Indiana has a manuscript exchange program, whereas you send them a unbound copy of your genealogy and they copy it for their files and return not only your original but also a bound copy to you. I checked with the library to be sure the program was still in effect and below is the e-mail I received from them today

Yes, we still do the Photocopy Exchange Program. If you send a copy of your book (unbound is best), we will make and send you a bound photocopy and keep one for our collection. Include a letter that indicates you are interested in taking advantage of the Exchange program.

A couple of questions - on the personal page there is "add a link" I added two but where did they go?

Also is there a place on the personal page where you can post attachments or is that feature only available for group pages? Thanks, Jim.

I sent you three emails, but the mail server isn't connecting up! (We're under notice that our isp is upgrading mail service.) Can I upload the three rtf documents somewhere on Genealogy Wise?

Thanks for the welcome. When I understand this site more completely I'll probably benefit. Any clues on how to find Prussian ancestors if you don't know where they were prior to emigrating?

My McBrides came from County Kilkenny>NYC (only stayed a few years)>Chicago in 1848. They all stayed in the Chicago area up to the present.

Gena, thanks so much for the welcome. My sister and I have been learning about research over the past few years. We have come upon a total wall for our GrGrandparents on our dad's Lamb Line and now total confusion at one point for our Francis E. Riley.
I came across Genealogy Wise somewhere between Francis in Maryland and the Lambs in Arkansas.
Your welcome was one of the nicest I've seen yet and packed full of info. Looking forward to seeing it all. Glenda
