"It seems that more and more researchers are not approaching their research
methodically and have not consulted any of the references available to them
on how to do genealogy. It has become more of a scatter-gun approach;
results are achieved by accident in many cases, or by piggybacking on
someone else's work and adapting it to fit their line - without verifying or
asking for original-source citations.
Well, I'd say the reason we don't have citations because, we don't have
access to the information that would give us the citations...not to mention,
some folks don't know where their ancestors came from ...:) or which county
they might be in, in a given state...:) How many ancestors moved
methodically...:) The other problem, there just aren't enough references
available...and most of the genealogy going on the web is just a rehash of
what's already published...no NEW resources or references...

We support Web Access to Archive Records
The petition can be viewed and signed at this address:
http://www.petitiononline.com/ethan/
There are at least 18,000,000 family history researchers in the United
States alone and it has become the 2nd most popular hobby. But access to
research materials for family history buffs is woefully lacking. The
records needed for this research are being held by the State and Federal
Archives, and has become either overly expensive to access or unavailable
for access due to distance.
Ancestry.com is the leading genealogy web site in the world and signs up
tens of thousands of new subscribers each month. To subscribe to all of
their databases per year, the costs are outrageous for fixed income persons.
That is minimum $79.95 and maximum $239.70 per person per year. With 700,000
subscribers that comes to $ 55,996,500.00/$167,790,000.00 per year.
However, their databases lack original documentation, needed for research.
Our plan even with a nominal subscription of $20.00 per year based on
700,000 people is $14,000,000.00 which would well afford archival records to
be made available electronically, that otherwise, would remain unavailable
to out of state and electronic researchers and genealogists. This could
also help the records online be self supporting.
I direct you to the BLM website as well for an example of what has, can and
could be done for Free Access to Archive Records:
http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/
We would further propose the work of the archives be contracted out at a
reasonable cost, for scanning and making available these precious records
electronically, if the archive is unable to accomplish the task. We are
hoping you will see our proposal as a solution for all state archives and
the federal archive. I refer you to our petition and the many opinions and
pleas of the genealogists and concerned others who have signed it.
Please think of it as a long term investment and not a cost, by providing
funding for these projects making records available online, you give us a
richer history of our past.

The following link is for Arizona State death certificates and birth

probably easier to implement.

I looked on the Webb GenForum today looking for information on a Henley
Webb,
father-in-law of Martin Walker of Edgefield Co., S.C. I came up with the

you
might be interested. Norma

In reply to Janice Bingley's querie, W. Robert Webb (#12828) Aug. 18, 2003
stated the following:
The newspapers date back to around 1835 and were readily
accessable to researchers in Clark County. I found a number
of errors in the reporting which has led to much confusion.
I found that Caroline is a Granddaughter of Hendley, not
Daughter. William Coate was the guardian of Caroline and gave her share of
Hendley estate upon her Marriage. Wiliam Coate was administrator of
Henley'estate. He eventually turned over the monies to James McIntire, son
in law of
Robert Webb who distributed it to 11 heirs,not listed.
Doctor,maybe Docton, was a son of William.
1850 census Clark Co Alabama
Hendley Webb's children:
1. William 74/ Sarah --- 65 Household 154
2. Nancy "Fannie" 60/ Drury Allen 73 Household 401
3. Elizabeth 43/ William Coate 63 Household 774
4. Robert d.1828 / Mary McDaniel
