Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Another list posted this new information. I thought it might be useful
for anyone that might have an ancestor that ended up in Arizona.
ACCESS ARIZONA RECORDS ONLINE
Last week, the Arizona Department of Health Services unveiled a Web site
that will make it easier to get Arizona ancestors' vital records. The
site, http://genealogy.az.gov, has a searchable database of 400,000
birth and death records-including actual images of the certificates.
You can search by an individual's first and last name, and check options
to search for the same first or last name (or both) of the person's
parents. Sort results by name, birth date, death date, father's or
mother's name, and county. Clicking on the individual's name launches a
PDF image of the certificate. (You'll need the free Adobe Reader
software, downloadable from
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html, to view the image.)
Arizona seals birth certificates for 75 years after issue, and death
certificates for 50 years. Birth records in the database span 1887 to
1928, and death records cover 1878 to 1953. (Look for more information
on researching Southwest ancestors in the August 2004 Family Tree
Magazine.)
Before the Arizona records site launched, genealogists had to pay $3 per
request, then wait up to three weeks. The Mesa Regional Family History
Center, a branch of the Family History Library, teamed up with the
Arizona State Library's archives department to develop the site, which
cost $25,000.
But accessing Arizona public records could get more difficult on other
fronts. An amendment to state House Bill 2357 would allow local
governments to charge "a reasonable fee" for the cost of preparing
public records for viewing. Current law permits fees for providing
copies of documents, but not for preparing them for review, which
usually requires striking confidential information. The bill would
affect mainly news media-though the media aren't specified in its
language-because reporters routinely review records for articles.
The amendment evolved from a case in which a school employee spent three
days preparing records for a television station. Supporters say it would
save taxpayer money; critics say it hurts the public's ability to
scrutinize government actions.
---------------------------------
Thanks to everyone who sent me the information! I feel so helpless without
the book at hand! I asked because I am trying to determine when Gabriel was
born. Because VA required payment for tithes when a white male turned 16, it
surprised me that he didn't turn up before then, since he was married in 1804
in Stokes Co. NC, and if he was living in Edward's household all the time this
suggests he was only sixteen when he got married (old enough to get into
trouble of course!) I am trying to remember if somewhere in the book a Gabriel
Shoat/Choate showed up earlier in the 1800 Census, possibly in NC.
Thanks again everyone!

Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
Hello Everyone,
I do not have access to my copy of Irene's book Choates of the South. I am
hoping someone out there does. Specifically, I would like to know in which
year Gabriel Choate shows up as a tithe in Edward Choate's household in Franklin
Co. VA, indicating he has turned 16. I believe this is in Volume I. If
recollection serves, it was 1802 or 1803..something like that.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. I posted this last night but did not see it arrive in my mail box, so I
am posting again. Sorry for any inconvenience
