>> News and Views from our "Hurricane Heroine"

(Some thoughts from our president who was called to 'active duty'
by the Red Cross during the hurricane disaster in the Southern
states.  While there were apparently a lot of "screw ups" during
that time, they sure did the right thing to call up Cynthia for a
few weeks.     LO)

----------------------

While I was away in Texas, my husband Herb put the Lake County
Infirmary Registers, Vol. 1 and 2 on Lake Co. OH GenWeb
(www.rootsweb.com/~ohlake/  ) under Institutions.  Thanks to
Barbara Hurst for proofing.  Our Geauga Deeds are hiding under
Government.  There is also a listing of Lake, Geauga and Cuyahoga
First Families of Ohio pioneers under Historical and Genealogical
Societies (OGS).

After we were notified of a couple of Lake County cemetery
inscriptions that were not indexed, Herb went through every
entry, which had been indexed by hand, and picked up about 160
corrections, so if you did not find your ancestor, try again at
www.rootsweb.com/~ohlcgs/

More programs are coming that are intended to search the internet
or certain sites for your specific family members.  A number of
new softwares, for instance, now search Ancestry.com for any
individual you request, right from your program.  Of course, it
is better if you happen to have a subscription.  Another program
which does this same sort of thing is an adjunct program called
GenSmarts.  You can set which subscriptions you have for it to
search, and it will search for your whole database in many free
and fee sites, if you let it.

Godfrey Memorial Library Offers Databases for Genealogy

An amazing source of great genealogy information is at a public
library in Connecticut.  It subscribes to a large number of
expensive databases and offers a special membership to those of
us out-of-staters for only $35.00 annually.  What can be found
there?  So much, I would not even begin to list everything, but
some of interest are:

--Marquis Who's Who biographies

--African American Biographical Database

--Columbia World Gazetteer of places

--OCLC WorldCat library catalog

--FindUSA addresses, birth dates, some death dates, court and
home records in recent 30 years

--America's Obituaries

--US & Canadian & British newspapers -over 60 titles, some
collections, various periods

--Vital Records from most states, some available free elsewhere,
but consolidated here.

--Everything is conveniently located in folders for types of
databases and places.  The Newspapers are quite extensive,
spanning different time periods from early American to current.
Most are every-word searchable.

Interestingly, this library even has a Help list and Richard
Black, the director, answers when it seems necessary.  One may
subscribe from the web site at or by calling them at 860-346-4375.

(Thanks to Richard Black for allowing me access to write this
article.  He will be speaking and demonstrating this site at
NEOCAG on April 8, 2006 at 9:00 am. All are welcome!     Cynthia)

>> General Land Office Records Web Site Reconnected in BLM-Eastern
States

The Bureau of Land Management-Eastern States announced that its
General Land Office (GLO) Records Web site is now back on line at
<www.glorecords.blm.gov>.  Title companies, historians,
genealogists, and other interested people can now once again
obtain millions of historic land title records from the thirty
Public Land States (those States not included in the original 13
Colonies), East and West, dating back to the 1780s.

These fascinating and valuable records include homesteads,
patents, military warrants, and railroad grants.  To date more
than 4.2 million records have been scanned and imaged since the
project began in 1989.  This Web site provides a wealth of
historical data and literally tells the story of the settlement
of the West.

"The GLO Records Web site is one of the most popular Web sites at
the Department of the Interior.  The Web site offers customers
the ability to easily research and query the GLO database by
name, land description, and county, and view and print these
historic documents from their homes or offices, saving them time
and money," said BLM-Eastern States Director Mike Nedd.

As the BLM completes its first round of Web site reconnections of
State-specific information sites, the following other BLM State
Office Web sites are also once again available on the Internet:
Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New
Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.  In addition, the BLM's Wild Horse and
Burro Information site is also now available. The Bureau
originally disconnected these sites so that site security could
be improved.

"We at BLM recognize the impact that this disconnection has had
on our customers, and we thank them for their patience and
understanding during this period.  The last six months have posed
challenges, but making sure that all constituents receive timely
information about the agency's actions has been a priority for
the entire agency," said Mike Nedd.

The BLM is now concentrating on reconnecting sites that provide
interactive non-Indian Trust data and services. Unfortunately,
sites of this kind are more complex and time consuming to
reconnect.  Additional announcements will be made as other sites
are reconnected.

>> FREE: Social Security Death Index and World Place Finder

This offer is a bargain: Progeny Software is giving away free
copies of both the Social Security Death Index and the company's
World Place Finder. Both products contain huge databases on CD
-ROM disks. In this case, the word free means "almost free" as
the company does ask for payment of the postage charges.

Of course, the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) is available in
many places on the web. However, having your own copy on a CD
results in much higher speed operation producing quicker
results. Progeny's SSDI CD is unique because all 61-million
names fit on a single CD. That may not seem like much of a
difference unless you have used another company's version of the
same data that fits on multiple disks. You soon feel like a Las
Vegas gaming table dealer as you shuffle the various disks in and
out. Progeny Software's product eliminates the problem.

Progeny's SSDI CD normally sells for $29.95. You can read more
about it at
   http://www.progenysoftware.com/socialsecuritydeathindex.html

World Place Finder normally sells for $14.95.  Together, these
two products sell for about $45.00 (U.S.) but Progeny Software is
giving them away for only the cost of postage: $6.00 if sent to a
U.S. address, $10.00 for shipment to other countries.

This offer will expire on February 28, 2006.

Internet Genealogy is published six times a year and is available
by subscription, on newsstands and as an online magazine on the
web. The cover price is $5.95 ( US ) and the subscription rate of
the printed magazine at $28 ( US ). However, there is an
introductory subscription rate for a limited time of $20 ( US ).

Who Will Subscribe?

Internet Genealogy is aimed at two identifiable markets. The
overwhelming numbers of newcomers to genealogy are using the
Internet for their research. The majority of these people have
limited interest in traditional genealogical research. The second
groups are traditional genealogists, many of whom have been wary
of the Internet. A few years ago, their caution was
understandable but this has become less and less so as new
databases, many of them linked to original images, come online.

For the last few months, Internet Genealogy has been
commissioning articles from established authors and we already
have enough material for the first two issues. The Editor will be
Halvor Moorshead, a dedicated genealogist with 38 years of
editorial experience and the editor of Family Chronicle.

< OpenOffice Updated To Fix Bugs in 2.0

Continuing its effort to become a serious alternative to
Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org released an updated version of
its open-source office suite this week. OpenOffice.org 2.0.1
comes two months after the formal release of version 2.0. The
update mainly cleans up several glitches seen in the earlier
release.

The free, downloadable suite includes standard office
applications, such as a word processor, a database, a
spreadsheet, and a presentation manager, all of which are
available in versions of the suite that can run on Windows,
Linux, and Solaris operating systems.

What's New:

The developers working on the project increased the suite's
compatibility with Microsoft Office, adding support for the
bullets and numbering features found in programs such as
Microsoft Word.

This means that when an Office document is converted into
Open Document Format (ODF) -- the native file format of OpenOffice
--users will not lose their bullets or numbered items.  Instead,
the items will be converted with the same images as in the
original document.

Other enhancements include a mail-merge function and a keyboard
shortcut with which users can save the position of their cursors.
OpenOffice.org's Writer, in its default setting, will save the
last cursor position when a document is closed. When users reopen
the file, authors will find the cursor at the last position it
was in before the document was closed.

Walaika K. Haskins,
from http://news.yahoo.com/     Fri Dec 23

------------------------

This QUARTERLY newsletter was created using OpenOffice Writer in
ODT (Open Document Text) format, but my final SAVE AS will be in
a traditional.TXT format so everyone can read it. One of the
complaints about Microsoft is that they have attempted to create
formats that are proprietary to their own software, while the
criticism of OpenOffice is that it is sometimes too much like it's MS
counterpart.  Only time and customer usage will
eventually settle that issue.

Over the past two years I have used and become familiar with both
systems, and do have a few observations.

1. The two systems are quite similar and I found it is usually
easy to switch back and forth with no problems.

2. While I can't find any problem with any file in either system,
it isn't a good idea to switch back and forth with the same file.
I did eventually create some problems with a financial
spreadsheet when I alternated each month, though I'm interested
to try that again.  It sounds like the new version of OpenOffice
will recognize a MS format easier than the original version.

3. If money were not an issue, I would still use MS Office.
Perhaps because I'm a bit more familiar here and at times feel it
is a bit "smoother."  (That doesn't mean it-or I--couldn't change
in the future, however.)

4. If money were an issue, OpenOffice would win without a second
thought, and I would be just as happy.  Remember, staying up to
date with MS Office isn't just a one time large expense.  Since a
new version comes out every two to three years, and there is
always a feeling that we should be using the newest features, we
could probably be paying Microsoft close to a thousand dollars in
just a few years.  In addition, OpenOffice is not a stripped
down "Office Lite,"  but actually contains more features and
options than one finds in Office.

5. Unlike a MS product, you are encouraged to install OpenOffice
in as many machines as you like, whether yours or a friend or
neighbor.  With that in mind, instead of using a free download, I
pay $5 for a CD that I can carry with me.  A search will find a
long list of companies that will mail one right out.  You also
may get a few other software CDs of your choice along with it.

Read on to see the effect open source formats are beginning to
have on Microsoft.  BTW-the new MS format "XML" discussed below
is already included in the newest update of OpenOffice.  MS will
first offer it in the new Office 12 version to be ready for sale
next year.       LO

< Major Microsoft Move Eases Some Criticism

BOSTON - Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney appears to be having
second thoughts about abandoning Microsoft software on state
computers in favor of a rival open-source format.

Microsoft Corp. has pledged to standardize the document format
for its Office software, undercutting much of the criticism that
fueled Romney's closely watched plan to begin embracing a rival
open-source format in 2007.

A spokesman for the Republican governor said Wednesday that
Microsoft's attempt to win approval of its format as an
international standard reduces the possibility that Massachusetts
may eventually remove Office software from tens of thousands of
government computers.

"If Microsoft follows through with their commitments, this will
represent a seismic shift in their business model," said Romney
spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom.  Some rivals and industry analysts say
they will continue to cast a wary eye on a company known for
closely guarding its proprietary technology.

Fehrnstrom agreed on the need for scrutiny of Microsoft's
announcement last week that it would ask a Geneva-based technical
group to declare the format behind a new version of Office an
international standard, which could aid outside developers who
write supporting applications.

Concerns about licensing restrictions and compatibility problems
with Office software led to the development of a rival standard
called Open Document format (ODT), which is compatible with Sun
Microsystems Inc.'s StarOffice software and free products such as
OpenOffice.

Romney had directed state executive offices to begin storing new
records in OpenDocument format by Jan. 1, 2007, to ensure records
can easily be read, exchanged and modified decades into the
future.

That made Massachusetts the first state to directly challenge the
market-dominating Office software. Microsoft hopes to stem the
rebellion's spread to other governments and the private sector.

Frank Gilbane, of Bluebill Advisors Inc., a Cambridge-based
computer industry consulting firm, said Microsoft's announcement
last week "basically answers what all the technical people were
complaining about."

Microsoft said in June that Office 12, the next-generation
version due next year, would use a new format called Office Open
XML that would make it easier for outside programs to read
documents created in Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

But it wasn't until last week that the Redmond, Wash. based
company announced it would submit the format to the standards
body ECMA International - a move critics had said was needed to
lend credibility to Microsoft's statements that its new product
would use publicly available software code that can be customized
by outsiders.

< ICE - The World's Leading Emergency Contact Service

A Cambridge (UK)-based paramedic has launched a national campaign
with Vodafone to encourage people to store emergency contact
details in their mobile phones.

Bob Brotchie, a clinical team leader for the East Anglian
Ambulance NHS Trust, hatched the plan last year after struggling
to get contact details from shocked or injured patients.

By entering the acronym ICE--"In Case of Emergency"--into the
mobile's phone book, users can log the name and number of someone
who should be contacted in an emergency.

The idea follows research carried out by Vodafone that shows more
than 75 per cent of people carry no details of who they would
like telephoned following a serious accident.

Bob, who has been a paramedic for 13 years, said: "I was
reflecting on some of the calls I've attended at the roadside
where I had to look through the mobile phone contacts struggling
for information on a shocked or injured person.

"It's difficult to know who to call.  Someone might have "mum" in
their phone book but that doesn't mean they'd want them contacted
in an emergency.

Almost everyone carries a mobile phone now, and with ICE we'd
know immediately who to contact and what number to ring. The
person may even know of their medical history."

"By adopting the ICE advice, your mobile will now also help the
rescue services quickly contact a friend or relative - which
could be vital in a life or death situation."

Bob hopes that all emergency services will promote ICE in their
area as part of a national awareness campaign to highlight the
importance of carrying next of kin details at all times.

He also said he hoped mobile phone companies would now build the
ICE contact into future models, adding: "It's not a difficult
thing to do. As many people say they carry mobile phones in case
of an emergency, it seems natural this information should be kept
there."

PS  I recently asked a Shaker Hts. Officer if they had heard of
this project.  He replied that they had not-which got me to
thinking that it might be a good project if each of us would
contact our police (or perhaps better our EMS) to make them
informed of this idea.

I now have ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 with my number, which includes my
wife's and daughter's names along with mine.     LO

< Archival Quality CD's

Look for CDs with a scratch resistant lacquer for durability, a
gold reflector layer.  Thalocyamine dyes, and a stable glass
substrate. For these discs, manufacturers quote life expectancies
equivalent to paper and microfilm records; however, testing data
is incomplete Don't use CDs made with cyamine dyes because they
are less light stable. CDs with aluminum reflection oxidation
(caused by excessive humidity coupled with airborne contaminants)

According to conservators, the following are the most durable
CDs:

* Super CD

* Kodak Writable CD

* Kodak Photo CD

* Digipress Century Disc Gold

* Digipress Century-Disc Ark

* Digipress Century-Disc Eon

----------

I purchased a spindle of 25 disks from Warehouse Photographic who
are based in Texas.  www.warehousephoto.com   They cost around
$32.99 for the spindle.  The disks are listed on their home page
--CDR 300 year.

The disks have "eFILM Archival Gold" printed on them and it lists
Delkin Devices on the paper wrapper.  When I went to Delkin's
website they were asking $36.00 for the same product.

Remember there are shipping, etc. fees involved, but if you're
out of state, no tax.

Some standard (bulk) CD's will hold up to 700mb of data. The
Archival CD's are listed at 650mb. I will continue to use the
cheap CD's when I go to my local Family History Center, and am
lucky enough to find something, in order to make a quick copy of
the census captures, maps, pics, and other items that would
otherwise require a large stack of floppys and a ZIP program.

When I get home I just transfer the data, clean it up, weed out
the stuff not needed, and store any findings away.  I've found
doing it this way allows me to just capture everything quickly
while at the Center, and then take my time at home were all the
tools are.  I do screen captures instead of printing them out at
the library, and save them as JPG picture files.

This way when I get home I can really study the data, highlight
anything I want to, and save it electronically (with source
address, data, etc. within the graphic.)  Sadly, I can't use some
of the newer 'sticks' to do the same thing as they won't work
with my systems (I tried...Sigh)

< Surgeon General Calls For Family History Day On Thanksgiving

Recognizing the importance of knowing your family history in
monitoring and early detection of genetically pre-disposed
conditions and diseases, U.S. Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona,
M.D., M.P.H., and the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) is encouraging Americans to investigate their
family's health history and Thanksgiving has been designated as
National Family History Day.  Families are encouraged to discuss
family history and illnesses and conditions that are prevalent
among family members at family gatherings, and to record that
information. More information is available at:
<http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory/>.

Knowing the medical conditions that are prevalent in your family
is an important step in early detection and prevention and there
are a number of ways to record and store this information. Most
genealogy software programs, have places to enter medical history
information and reports that will display that information as
well.

================================================================

Reports have it that Yahoo! and MSN are also planning similar
projects to the Google work described below.  The effect this could
have for genealogy research could be absolutely staggering.  Once
digitized, entire libraries would become instantly available while
we sit in our pajamas instead of getting some much needed sleep.

After more than a decade of astounding computer development, this
may turn out to be one of the most significant.     LO

< Google Up That Text--Net Search Engine Serving Up Books Whole

Google Inc.'s Internet-leading search engine today will begin
serving up the entire contents of books and government documents
that aren't entangled in a copyright battle over how much
material can be scanned and indexed from five major libraries.

The list of Google's so-called "public domain" works - volumes no
longer protected by copyright - include Henry James novels, Civil
War histories, Congressional acts and biographies of wealthy New
Yorkers.

Google said the material, available at
<http:// www.print.google.com>, represents the first large batch of
public domain books and documents to be indexed in its search
engine since the Mountain View-based company announced an
ambitious library-scanning project late last year.

The program is designed to make more library material available
through a few clicks of a computer mouse and attract more people
to click on the highly profitable ads that Google displays on its
Web site.

During the next several years, Google wants to create digital
versions of millions of books stacked in the New York Public
Library and four university libraries - Stanford, Harvard,
Michigan and Oxford.

Google declined to disclose how many books have been scanned from
the libraries so far. The project is expected to require years to
complete.
