An ezine in Pa asked me to write a article on Genealogywise would you like to add anything to it??

Hello Gena:

Thanks for the information. As time goes along I will put it to use.

We will be videotaping and posting the mentoring classes on our website, www.icapgen.org, so that anyone who would like to view them can, no matter where they live. We are working hard to reach out to people outside of Utah to invite them to become a part of ICAPGen!

Thank you
I hope my work all help somone also.

i need help finding info on luther oscar ferrell 1890-1968 where did his family come from and how far back.

Just got home, snowin & blowin. Coooooold. Got Mary back to her house but missed your chat room.

Thanks Gena! I miss chatting with everyone on the chat. Things have been busy as you can imagine.

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?

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.

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.

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).

Question, what did Horace's WW1 draft card show?? like where was he born and date?
