Emma, your emails to me are fine. Thanks for the note and hope your computer

My sympathies to you. Having suffered such a loss myself, I can really

Good Morning Everyone and...
My apologies to all of you.............
I received an extra Christmas surprise this year. My computer died - big
time. The motherboard decided it simply had enough.
As a result, I now have a new computer. That was the easy part. The hard
part was trying to save and move over all the data from the old hard drive.
Something we still have yet to accomplish.
So..... I have lost lots of e-mails and lots of information stored on that
hard drive.
Therefore, if you have asked me a question, sent me some information, or are
waiting for a response from me on something please, please send it again.
One of the most discouraging thing is that I had searched out lots of obits
and was holding those to send after the first of the year. I figured folks
were too busy before Christmas. Those are all lost...... <sigh>. So I guess I
get to start searching again.....<g>.
Again, my apologies and pease bear with me while I try to recover.
Take care and have a wonderful new year.
Emma
Good Morning Everyone and...
My apologies to all of you.............
I received an extra Christmas surprise this year. My computer died - big
time. The motherboard decided it simply had enough.
As a result, I now have a new computer. That was the easy part. The hard
part was trying to save and move over all the data from the old hard drive.
Something we still have yet to accomplish.
So..... I have lost lots of e-mails and lots of information stored on that
hard drive.
Therefore, if you have asked me a question, sent me some information, or are
waiting for a response from me on something please, please send it again.
One of the most discouraging thing is that I had searched out lots of obits
and was holding those to send after the first of the year. I figured folks
were too busy before Christmas. Those are all lost...... <sigh>. So I guess I
get to start searching again.....<g>.
Again, my apologies and pease bear with me while I try to recover.
Take care and have a wonderful new year.

Emma,
Have a wonderful holiday season. Thank you for the interesting and sometimes
very useful Clark messages that you send on to me. I will enjoy receiving
them and hearing from you in the new year.
Debbie CLARK Safholm. SAFD143(a)aol.com.
Morning Everyone,
Well.... in a few days we will all be enjoying Christmas in our own way. I
do hope all of you have a wonderful holiday.
However, before the holidays hit I would like to visit about a couple of
things.
First of all - the busy holiday season often makes it harder for us to keep
up with our e-mail. Sometimes mail boxes get full and messages begin to
bounce. I am starting to see some of that already on the various lists I
admin. So
you might want to keep a check on your mail boxes just in case.
Also.... something called challenge software. This type of software is used
by folks in attempt to decrease spam. It works well for them but often
doesn't work well with mail lists. There are several different titles of
this
software out there - SpamCop, QuickCop, etc.
I just received one from SpamCop. Basically the idea is that you have just
tried to send a message to someone using their service. For that message and
future messages to go through you have to respond to that SpamCop e-mail and
verify who you are, etc. Then, future messages you send to that person will
go
through. Problem is - this e-mail that I received did not tell me the e-mail
of the person using SpamCop. So there is no way I can track that to a list
subscriber (or a friend for that matter). It also means that I don't know
who I
am responding to and therefore am not given the choice of whether or not I
want my address on their "approved list" or not. List admins tend to see a
lot
of this. So... bottom line is that I don't respond to those type of
messages.
If you are planning on using this type of software then please make sure you
configure it correctly to receive mail from the mail lists.
Thanks for listening to my muttering...<g> and again, I hope each of you have
a wonderful holiday. This holiday more than any other often brings us the
chance to visit with family and I hope that each of you has that opportunity.
Take care and travel safely to and from your holiday destinations.

Good Evening Everyone,
Christmas is rapidly approaching and I am sure that all of you are very busy
getting ready.
Genealogy is much more than just names, dates and places. It is also stories
handed down from one generation to another. It is those memories that add
the real "meat" to our family histories.
The Christmas memories you make this year will be very precious in the years
to come just as memories from the past are important now.
So.... how about pausing a few moments in the next few days and sharing some
of your favorite Christmas memories or Christmas traditions with all of us.
Please use the subject of Christmas Memory or Christmas Tradition so that those
who might not want to participate can identify and delete if they desire.
To start it off, here is my memory......
My family and "Christmas Gift" tradition.
I am not sure of the history of this one. I did try to "surf" a bit and see
if I could find anything but no luck.
But... the idea was to be the first person to wish the other person
"Christmas Gift". If you were the first then the other person was supposed to give you
something. Now... that usually didn't happen - the gift that is...<g>. But
it was fun to try to be the first. People would even greet folks that way in
the grocery store, post office, on the street, etc.
But in my family we carried it a bit farther.
My brother was two years younger than I. He also had a brain tumor and was
blind. He died when he was 9 years old.
But.. he loved the "Christmas Gift" tradition. So much so that we expanded
it to "Christmas Eve Gift". On Christmas Eve morning he would get on the
phone
and call our relatives. They would answer the phone and he would yell -
"Christmas Eve Gift". Of course they would all respond - Oh.... you got me,
etc.
Then one Christmas Eve our Aunt Louise did something different and turned
the tables on him. Instead of answering the phone with the usual "hello",
she
answered with her own - "Christmas Eve Gift". Johnny Boy held the phone out
to
my mother and said...... "She got me, She got me..... She didn't do it
right".....LOL.
One explanation about the phone. We lived in a very small town and this was
in the 50's. We still had "phone operators" and you picked up the phone and
told them what number you wanted. They would then connect you. The phone
was
very important to Johnny Boy and he really enjoyed calling people. The phone
was in
the kitchen and mother put a little stool there. Johnny Boy would sit on
that
stool while mother worked in the kitchen and he would talk on the phone. He
and the phone operators became very good friends. He and my mother would
deliver the phone operators little surprises to the phone company office. He
would
also do the "Christmas Eve Gift" greeting to the phone operators.
As his tumor progressed and as he became more and more ill the operators kept
up with him. They would call and check on him. The night he died Mother
picked up the phone to call some of our relatives and friends. The phone
operators came on and told her.... not to worry. They were taking care of
all of
that for her. It was late at night. But those ladies took care of all the
calls for us.
My favorite picture of Johnny Boy was taken on Christmas Eve. He is sitting
on his stool - in his pajamas - he has his legs crossed and he is on the
phone
making his "Christmas Eve Gift" calls....<grin>.
Johnny Boy died in 1957 but we still do "Christmas Eve Gift". As they came
along, my children and my cousin's children would make their Christmas Eve
calls. And now their children are following that same tradition.
Now... I am looking forward to hearing about some of your Christmas memories
and traditions.
I hope all of you have a wonderful holiday.
Take care - Emma
I've "rescued" an old photograph of E. Day CLARK of Cortland, New York which
was taken in January 1892 at the Hyatt & Tooke Studio in Cortland. I
believe that he was a student at the Cortland Normal School at that time.
It appears that the photograph was a gift to Lillian P. WHEELER as her name
appears on the back of the photograph.
I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old
photograph can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a
member of this CLARK Family or know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
