Hi Glen, Pat & Gail, & the List,
I've now made copies and will (soon I hope) be sending you each a Carruthers 20+
pages identical packet (w/an extra set for each of you), as described earlier, for your
scanning. The copies seem in pretty good shape for OCR Scanning to text. Of course there
will be errors, but perhaps each of your OCR programs will eventually provide a pretty
good base (ie, perhaps the errors of one scan will be corrected by on of the other 2
scans) . Maybe someone will later want to 'correct' the OCR Translations' for
Carruthers Gens.
Of course, there will be dupes, mistakes, errors, untruths, in short just about all
the things we all encounter on a daily basis. But even though you will be scanning into
OCR Text, I will still want you also to send me the J-Peg / .jpg images to distribute in
some fashion (as a standard, lets use JPeg quality standard 7 for uniformity). FYI
everyone, JPegs can NOT be sent to our Carruthers-L RootsWeb List:
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/c/carruthers.html (RootsWeb accepts text
only).
Perhaps we can post the Jpegs on a website. Some of the best I can email to each
requestor. If we can, in one short period after you have all finished, so I can easily
accumulate emails into what Outlook Express calls a 'Group.', which can be treated
by a sender (me) as a single recipient, I will request you to each pls send your JPegs to
me (postal mail may be best, save to CDs/ DvDs, or email as Attachments), so I can send
several large emails per/day to all requestors until all have been sent & received.
While I can add new names as they request, I will only send late joiners the new stuff.
Still, we WILL post all of the OCRed material on our RootsWeb site, which is the very
reason we are going to this trouble. I'm also certain there is other stuff that is
important enought to also OCR for posting to the Carruthers-L List!:
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/c/carruthers.html
If any of you believe this has already been 'translated' to text, pls advise
upon receipt so the others won't charge ahead into 'make work.' Glen &
Gail, pls email me your tels JIC.
There is some old and interesting stuff here (Thank you MUCH Vam! ! !) - hope
it's new & useful. At least 5 Emigrants are noted.
Barry (Tel etc below)
PS: I dont need any money, but each of you Must retain in Original !
condition, NOT broken up, at least ONE set from the packets for descendants, if they are
useful! I tried to simplify this, but the above looks rather bloated!

Barry,
If you don't already have 3 volunteers to copy, etc. the Josiah Thompson material,
count me in! And if you do, send me a copy and I'll send you $10.00 as I want to see
a copy of what you have. I've spent countless hours reading Thompson's hand
written journals about his ancestors including Carothers Carrothers, Caruthers, and
Carruthers.
Thanks,

Barry,
I would be willing to take alook at these, but have a family reunion (Carruthers) this
month and am up to my ears in preparations. Having done some scanning of old documents
and OCR, I can tell you that these probably will not come out super well. I have a pretty
good program, but typed pages or photocopied pages can be difficult. They probably would
be better scanned and PDF, whereby items could be cut and pasted. As I said, I have 2-3
letters in my files from Thompson to my grandfather and they are very hard to scan and get
a decent copy.
What kind of condition are these in? Charlene Wilson, I believe is the woman's name
that was maintaining the Journals on rootsweb, but that site seems to be gone.

Subject : Josiah Thompson Uniontown PA spent several thousand dollars having Carruthers
traced genealogist
Hello Carruthers,
One of our best Wton researchers was at a recent SLC seminar, and while there, did some
research, including of Carruthers. This is excellent stuff. For ex, there are 3 oversize
sheets all referencing Carruthers (plus abt 10+ regular sheets), one of which begins:
"Josiah Thompson of Uniontown PA 'spent a lifetime & several thousand
dollars (back when that was real money) having the Carruthers line traced by a
genealogist., and the following is the line of descent" . . . for John Carruthers who
leased land in 1523 at . . ." Scotland, Dumfries, Solway Firth, Howmains, etc etc.,
& "Sir Simon Carruthers killed 1484, & "Wm Carruthers Howmain . . . took
the field against Baliol in 1306," etc etc. Much much MUCH more! Then in U.S.
more pgs of great stuff.
I'm going to make 4 copies for myself. I'll send a copy to each of the 1st
three who agree to make 3 more copies and distribute them (make as many for yourself as
wish) and send me their mailing address, leaving me w/a copy and the 'original.'
After that, $10/copy for the 'original,' if & when I can find & get to it.
If someone will immediately scan & OCR these & post them on Carruthers-L for us
all, I'll send them free, the 'original' for themselves & to scan, on same
terms for themselves.
Barry
