Dear Cousins,
Recently I posted a link that some were having troubles
getting on the site.
No one reported a "404" error code which means the site
can't be found on the server. That's good really.
When sites get busy it takes longer for their server to respond
to all the hits coming in and may time out if it is very, very busy.
Sometimes it is easier to get to a specific page on a website
by going through the "front door," the home page, than trying
to access it directly.
If you have a long URL such as:
http:\\www.webstie.com/zzz/aaa/bbb/yyy.html
shorten it to:
http:\\www.webstie.com or www.webstie.com
That should get you to the home page in most cases.
Another way to do it is just be patient and try again later.
Youts Aye,
Cal
Dear Cousins,
I've been getting messages about problems with the URL
for the good deal at Everton's website.
www.everton.com will get you to the home page.

Dear Cousins,
I took a quick peak at this index and found 71
Coffeys listed.
I did a search just using just the surname and the results
come 50 to a page which is really nice. Another surname
I put in came back with over 500 listings.
This search was for Union and Confederate combined.
You can select just Union or Confederate if you know
for sure which side your ancestor fought.
My Civil War Coffey was not listed BUT the index is still
under construction. So don't be discouraged. Come back
and check again later.

Dear Cousins,
A work in progress is the Civil War Soldiers and
Sailors System.
This is a major effort to put an index online of all
those who served.

List -
I have a book, 'The Confederate Dead at the Battle of Gettysburg, July 1-3,
1863' by Robert K. Krick (Morningside Books, Dayton, OH).
The following is the list of Coffey's (none are mine):
Coffee, Andrew Joseph, Co. D, 56th Virginia (no age given)
Coffey, Cleveland, Co. F, 26th North Carolina (26 yrs)
Coffey, J.G., Co. F, 26 North Carolina (24 yrs)
Coffey, J.H., Co. F, 26th North Carolina (23 yrs)
Coffey, Thomas M., Co. F, 26th North Carolina (28)
Coffey, William S., Co. F, 26 North Carolina (19)
The 26th North Carolina was part of Pettigrew's Brigade. It suffered the
following losses at Gettysburg:
Killed - 172
wounded - 286
wounded and missing - 157
Total wounded - 443
missing - 72
total casualities - 687
It was a bad day for the 26, and, it would appear, an even worse day for the
Coffeys.
Anyone on the list know what part of North Carolina the 26th was recruited
from?

Dear Cosuins,
Knowing how popular Adobe Acrobat tools are hereabouts... A security
hole has been discovered in Acrobat (including Acrobat Reader) which
allows a .PDF document to act as a 'virus' on your system. In other
words, a person could create a .PDF document which can alter your
system in ways you wouldn't want to happen when you did nothing more
than read the .PDF document with Reader. I would assume that this also
applies to reading a .PDF document while browsing the Web.
Adobe advises that everyone upgrade to v4.05 and apply the update
shown on the following page:

According to the LDS, there is a Jennie Click listed (no spouse though, that
would be too easy, lol) b. 1869 in Greene, TN, she is the daughter of John M.
Click and Annie Morelock. Looking at it another listing for her shows to
spouses but neither are a Coffey. Maybe they are a close line to yours.
