Hi folks,
Just noticed that Brother's Keeper now has a version supporting PLOTTERS.
I don;t know how it works, but have often thought for big trees and
presentation it would be nice to use a plotter (like a draftsman's, the kind
that does blueprints).
So at least there is a program, and I am sure it would not be too difficult to
find a plotter. Here in my own area, a local photographic development shop
that also posterizes pictures, can do it all digitally.
For those using BK 5.2 for Windows , (or even those not I gess) here's the
address for John Steed's homepage

>From a genealogist colleague:
Picture a cold, bitter winter in the ancient lands of yesteryear. The falling
temperature has made it necessary for everyone to seek shelter indoors. The
men who hunted and tended the fields no longer can spend extended periods
outdoors and away from those with whom they disagreed. The women who bickered
and gossiped found themselves closed in with others--many of whom they did not
care for. Imagine the goading, the wise cracks, the veiled and unveiled
insults directed at one another. One man says: "Krill cannot shoot a true
enough arrow to fell a blind deer. How do you expect that his errant shaft or
his words to find the heart of a maiden?" The others snigger and Krill goes
red with shame.
The ancients were used to dealing with human nature. One method for bringing
peace and good will to the clan was the custom of gift-giving. One must give
to receive and one must give to the family and to the clan. One must forgive
in order to be forgiven and one must forgive to keep order in the family and
the clan.
In these cold months when all must coexist and cooperate--when being driven
out into the cold of the night sky could have fatal consequence--the wise ones
among them declared that there be a period of celebration. The custom of the
Yule log arose and the men worked together to drag the huge log that would
give warmth to the hearth. The people exchanged gifts, as it is difficult to
be angry or nasty to one that has given you something to treasure.
Though times have changed, our natures seem not to have changed that much. But
let us not forget the lessons passed to us by our ancestors. When the bitter
winds howl, when adversity raises its head, when natural and unnatural
pressures seem more that we can bear, then it is time to give a gift, spread a
kind word, flash a smile and comfort one another.
In this spirit, I give you a gift--a gift of personal words, the only kind of
gift that can be given in these circumstances. That these words were written
about my father who died some twenty-five years ago does not matter, for in
these words are the seeds of every persons experience.
A MIRROR TO THE SUN
(C) 1992, 1998 K.H. Finton
Is it the ghost of him I see in the restless dreamscapes of a hollow night?
The ghost of him ... or my own flawed impressions?
Twenty years ago my world quaked violently when he passed so suddenly
from our lives, so quickly there was barely time for tears.
A sudden shock ... a stunning loss ... and life moved on without him.
With childhoods end, the world could never be the same.
Twenty years ... so long ago I barely recognize that younger, wandering self.
Yet, in those silent dreamscapes of the night he comes to visit still.
A near-sighted old neighbor said he saw him walking through the tall grasses
of the abandoned yard years after we left the old Ohio homestead.
Bunk, I said, not prone to thoughts of spirits, yet encounters of a kind
have occurred in the darkness of many a restless night since.
I remember those long evenings in the family home, the easy chair whose arms
held up a crude wood shelf, flowing over with papers and notes,
my father seated behind this rude table in his work suit,
lost from the present in the remote past of other peoples lives.
The black and white TV that connected us with the world blared endlessly,
while mother ironed the clothes and I shook my head in wonder.
How bored I liked to be on those hot and muggy summer days when Dads idea
of a good time was to walk through silent graveyards,
writing the names from time-worn stones on yellow legal pads.
Yet, caught up in his enthusiasm, I learned to hold a mirror to the sun,
reflecting shadows upon those faded letters. Quite often we were rewarded
with a touch of heartfelt sentiment inscribed upon the crumbling stone.
Often Saturday would find us in some distant library, digging through
piles of dry old books of facts that smelled of yesteryear,
but all was not studious and dull escape. All was not the dark, outmoded past,
as I feared in the leafy green and anxious days of youth...
the family trips brought new, inviting places we ran to once a year ...
croquet with friends in the evening breezes of the green Ohio grass ...
Is it the ghost of him I see in the restless dreamscapes of a hollow night?
The ghost of him ... or my own flawed impressions?
His choice in music bubbles through my mind. His choice in pastime rumbles
through my mature years like the distant drone of a passing freight.
Through the years Ive come to know him more than yesterday, when I
was but his child. And most of all, I learned to hold a mirror to the sun.

Hello - I'm new to the list. I'm searching for information on the following
CHASE family - Samuel Parker CHASE - b. 15 Aug. 1840 in New York, married
Mercy Jane Gibbens (b. 3 Sept. 1850) on 15 Aug. 1871, probably in Ohio. They
had 3 children that I know of:
George J. - b. 27 April 1876
Frank E. - b. 10 Feb. 1883
Harry E. - b. 18 Jan. 1885
The limited information I have on this family says that since 1886 they
lived on a 160 acre farm near Chase, Rice County, Kansas - if this rings a
bell with anyone, please let me know - Thanks

Hi,Junelle, I am copying this to the Group and Ginger.
I received the Reeder.zip file but when I unzipped it it came out as
Reeder.ged.org
I simply renamed the file Reeder.ged (Note NO .org then clicked on the
renamed file and promptly imported it into FTM............. NO Problems!
Thanks for sorting this out and thanks to Scott for his persistence.
Ginger, I will have to cut out the parts that are already on the database
or I will get the dreaded duplications!

Hello all,
I am trying to send a ZIP file containing GEDCOM information
to Keith Hume. This is still not working, and in the past some
people on this list have volunteered to assist if this happened.
I remember that Dann Craig and at least 2 other people said
they would give it a shot, so if you could contact me at my
e-mail address below, I will send the ZIP file to you as an
attachment, and then you could try sending the file to Keith.
The file is pretty small -- about 35K. I would appreciate any
help -- this is on the behalf of Ginger Reeder!
Thanks,
Scott Hendrick

I am looking for the relatives or any information of/on GRANGER DANE
CHASE of Michigan. He was a Methodist minister in Charlotte MI from
1896-1899. Dane was the brother of my grandfather, William Wayne Chase.
Thank you, LFrey
Rich & Nancy, I have an Issac CHASE who was an early convert to the Mormon
church, but the only Willard in my database was born in Utah 1880. As far as
the seerstone, I am not familiar with that story. The history of the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints starts with the revelation to Joseph Smith in
1820 in Palmyra, New York. The Church was officially founded on April 6 1830 in
Fayette, New York.
The CHASE lines I have were mostly in the Little Compton, Newport, Rhode Island
area or in Massachusetts prior to abt 1800, my line move to Vermont abt 1800 and
then to Sparta, Livingston, New York by 1830 untill after 1837. From there,
they followed the emigration of the Church to Nauvoo (1841), then to Utah.

Nancy,
I have done some research on the Willard CHASE family that was associated
with Joseph SMITH, Jr., and I believe I have his ancestry. However I do not
have that research on this computer and it will be a few days before I get
the other one back from service before I can check the data base.
I don't remember if there was an Isaac that was related to Willard or not.
Do you have any idea where they came from before being in Seneca County? I
have info on hundreds of CHASEs, most of which an old GEDCOM of mine was
posted on the internet by someone else and I believe that much of it is
probably here in this CHASE data base, although I have not checked lately.
If any of your people came out of the southeast corner of Washington county,
NY., I would be extremely interested.
Best regards.

Hi,
I am a new subscriber so I hope I get this right!
I have reached a dead end on my family research and I am fairly new at this
so any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to get information on an Isaac Chase who was born Jan.22, 1797
and died Nov.20, 1819. He was married to Phebe Holrow who was born Oct.
1799, died Dec.24, 1859. Phebe died in Seneca County, New York. They had
two children who lived to maturity, George and Martha.
Family stories relate that the Chase family farm was the site where Joseph
Smith ( founder of the Mormon Church) dug up his seer stone. I have read in
some Mormon history books that the stone was dug up in upstate New York on
the Willard Chase farm. I am assuming that Willard was related. This is
all the info. I have - any ideas?
Thanks a lot for your time.

ALL,
In the latest update I neglected to ensure that the gedcom file I uploaded
to the Surnameweb server was EXACTLY as the cgi script required.
For the technically astute among you this meant that I therefore finished
up with 2 gedcom files on the server.
To convert the gedcom to the database you see on the site it is necessary
for me to TELNET a command which I did. However this did no more than
re-generate the file that was already there.
I have now rectified the error.
Thanks for pointing it out,Debbie.
I really should have checked more carefully,
