Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter
A Weekly Summary of Events and
Topics of Interest to Online Genealogists
Vol. 7 No. 38 - September 23, 2002
- Mic Barnette's Column Needs Your Support
Mic Barnette is a genealogy expert, bookstore owner, and columnist
in Houston, Texas. He has written a popular weekly genealogy
column in the Houston Chronicle newspaper since May 1994. I
suspect that almost everyone in the Houston area with even a
slight interest in genealogy reads Mic's column. Many people in
other locations also read the column on the Web.
Now the Houston Chronicle has reduced the column to once a month
and is publishing it in a new monthly "Plus 50" section that does
not circulate outside the city proper. Genealogists are protesting
at the reduction of this valuable resource. The Houston
genealogical community is organizing. The Houston Genealogical
Forum has launched a writing and calling campaign to the Chronicle
to keep the column published on a weekly schedule. The campaign
also requests that Mic Barnette's column be placed in a section of
the newspaper that goes outside the neighborhoods of downtown
Houston, where it would be readable to anyone who purchases a
Chronicle anywhere.
You can also help, even if you are not a Houston-area resident.
The Houston Genealogical Forum has placed a notice on their
website with names and addresses of people to contact. The site is
located at: http://www.hgftx.org/public/chronicle. I would like to
ask every reader of this newsletter to read that Web page. If you
agree with the Houston Genealogical Forum's proposal, please add
your name, e-mail address, and comments to the form at the bottom
of that Web page and then click on "submit." I did that earlier
this week and would strongly encourage you to do the same.
By the way, you can also read Mic Barnette's excellent genealogy
columns online at: http://www.geocities.com/barnette_geo/
