Hello cousins.
I attended a local genealogy society seminar yesterday. The title of the
seminar was; "Digging Up Alternative Sources." The most interesting
speaker gave a presentation, believe it or not, on excavating old abandoned
outhouses! His presentation was titled, "Granny's Privy: Genealogical
Archeology." Even though the presentation was given after we all had
lunch, I think that everyone enjoyed his talk and learned something about
our ancestors lives. He is a history professor and genealogist who also has
a daughter that is employed as a commercial archeologist. Her job is to
survey various land sites that either local government or private concerns
are intending to develop and she finds out if the proposed site may contain
some historical value that needs to be first preserved, etc. Anyway, to
make a long story short: The speaker presented a slide show of old
outhouses that were dug-up and all of the items that were discarded by
families going back as much as 150 years ago. You could tell a lot by the
types of things that were discarded by the various family members; such
things as plates, silverware, coins, guns, the list goes on and on. It's
funny when you first hear of anyone wanting to dig-up an outhouse, but when
you think of the stories that the discarded items tell about a family it
becomes very interesting. As a matter of fact to get an idea of the value
of this research, there is a private company that will go to a site and
excavate an outhouse and they charge $2,000, to uncover any artifacts and
then charge another $700. to preserve them for future historians!
During one of the breaks, I was going through back issues of Everton's
"Genealogical Helper" and found the following letter to Everton's
"Relatively Speaking section:
Mar-Apr 1995 "Relatively Speaking"
"COLBY COUSINS"
"I met Pat several years ago. Because we were so much alike, in jest we
told each other we must be related. Last summer Pat visited her father in
New England and offered to wander through the old cemeteries in the area to
help with my genealogical research. Her father noticed my surname list and
told her, "You know, we have some COLBY names in our family tree somewhere."
This year Pat and I met in Salt Lake City, Utah so I could introduce her to
the Family History Research Library. Sure enough, while tracing her roots
we found our mutual COLBY ancestors and proof that we truly are distant
cousins. We sat down together at one of the library tables to continue our
research. After awhile, Pat tapped me on the shoulder and pointed to the
lady sitting directly across from us. She was reading a book on the COLBY
family we had been looking for. We compared ancestral charts with her and
discovered she was another distant cousin from the same COLBY ancestor!
The rest of the people at the table shared our surprise and delight at our
reunion."

I'll snail-mail Pat to find out where she connects, that is if her address
is still current. If anyone knows her, then please let me know so that I
won't be telling her something that she already knows.
Happy ancestor hunting

Hi all.
According to Dunstable, NH history: "Dr. John L. Colby, Hollis Twsp. 1846."
I wonder if John L. Colby, b. 18 Mar 1806, child of Eliphalet III, is the
same person?
However, that John L. Colby was listed in the Henniker Census with an
occupation given as, Farmer.

In the newsletter it is debated if the John who froze to death was the son of
Ezekiel. Do you know the source of your connection to Ezekiel?

I've saw quite a bit lately on the Colby Web about the lost sheep. I feel
there are two lost sheep, the second being Nicholas II Colby. He was born
April 4, 1785 in Henniker, NH. He married Sally(Sarah) Howe, date unknown.
He died August 13, 1872, in Springport, Mi. He is buried with his son
Joshua Colby in the Springport Cem. I've been to the grave site and have
taken pictures of his marker as well as the the other family member buried
there, 7 in all. His wife, Salley is not buried there. I've been unable to
pin down his 12 children. He lived in Roxbury, NY in 1822, in Greece, NY
and Cass Co, Mi in 1841. Any help would be appreciated. Bill in Louisiana

> PAINLESS FAMILY HISTORY PUBLISHING
>
> by Rhonda McClure <uftree(a)palladium.net>
>
>The Internet brings a boon to genealogists in the form of an easy
>way to publish your family history. Internet Web pages, also
>often referred to as home pages, are an easy alternative for
>genealogists to the more traditional publishing avenues. However,
>unless you wish to become versed in the art of Hyper Text Markup
>Language (HTML), the backbone of Web pages, you probably are more
>frustrated by the prospect of posting your family history on the
>Web than you are about publishing it in a book.
>
>In May, 1996, Palladium Interactive offered genealogists an
>answer to this frustration with its genealogy software, Family
>Gathering. Built into the program is the ability to create an
>Instant Web Page. With the click of a mouse and some simple
>choices made, Family Gathering creates the necessary files that
>became your family history Web page. And Family Gathering took
>this one step further by automating the uploading of these files
>to the Palladium Web site. Now you no longer needed to know how
>to upload files to a server, which carried its own jargon such as
>FTP, TAR and other cryptic acronyms.
>
>Today, Ultimate Family Tree carries on this tradition. In fact it
>has an ever-growing area on its Web site <http://www.uftree.com>
>that displays these family history Web pages.
>
>Creating a family Web page requires only that you make similar
>choices as those done in creating a Family Journal report that
>you are going to print to paper. However, in addition to the text
>to be included, there are a few additional options that do need
>to be considered. In the Instant Web Page window are two push
>buttons that offer ways to enhance and control the Web pages and
>the files that are created: Options and Graphics.
>
>The Options window allows you to determine the placement of
>images, what images are to be included, and a way to include your
>e-mail address. The Graphics window is where you select the
>graphics you wish to include in the pages. These graphics are the
>icons for such items as e-mailing, downloading a GEDCOM, or the
>background of the pages. The graphics page is also where you
>include the path to the location of your GEDCOM file on your hard
>drive so that it gets uploaded, if you wish to offer a GEDCOM for
>people to download.
>
>Palladium Interactive pioneered this technology. The Internet has
>really brought genealogists from all over the world into contact
>with each other. And by creating your own family history Web
>page, you greatly increase your chances of coming into contact
>with others who are researching those same lines.

>NEW: Different colors from previous version.
>ALL NEW: Software is not compatible with previous version.
>UNMATCHED: Almost as good as the competition.
>ADVANCED DESIGN: Upper management doesn't understand it.

Hi all,
I'm back from fishing in the northwoods. I didn't catch much but no
phones, and no pagers to bother me were the best part. Although I thought
I might get Net withdrawal pain, I didn't think much about it. However, I
got a few hundred e-mail messages to go through. I see that Colby-L has
been busy with messages. I've saved them to look at later.
Pardon me, if you are not interested in the following Rootsweb info. please
delete. However, I subscribe to Rootsweb and receive Julia Case's
"Rootsweb Review" I have found it to be very informative and helpfull. The
message is in 2 parts the second part follows. The subscription
instructions are included at the end of the 2nd msg.
Happy ancestor hunting.
Bob

> NEWS AND NOTES FROM ROOTSWEB
>
>THAT WAS THE WEEK THAT WAS (by Ellen Seebacher and Tim Pierce).
>On Saturday, we lost lists.rootsweb.com -- one of RootsWeb's two
>main mailing list servers -- when it was penetrated by a cracker.
>We were cracked through the inattentiveness of a user with
>privileged access to the machine, and will be more careful about
>granting direct access to RootsWeb servers in future. There is no
>sensitive or private data on this machine, only mailing list
>archives, so no one's privacy was compromised. However, the
>individual who entered the system wiped out two directories
>essential to running the machine ("/etc" and "/var/log"), which
>meant that to make the machine usable again we'd need to
>reinstall part of it from scratch.
>
>Brian Leverich worked through the weekend to rebuild the server
>and reinstall the operating system, but the process did not go
>smoothly; mysterious hardware troubles kept cropping up. While
>wrestling with these problems he decided to use the "down time"
>to good advantage by replacing the old machine, a Pentium Pro 200
>with slow 60-nanosecond EDO memory, with a Pentium II 400 with
>fast 6-nanosecond SDRAM memory, estimated to improve performance
>by a factor of 2-6.
>
>Dr. Leverich assembled the new server over Saturday night and
>Sunday. On Monday, Tim Pierce and Randy Winch went over the
>operating system painstakingly, file by file, to ensure that the
>intruder left behind no back doors or Trojan horses. On Monday
>night, Tim and Karen Isaacson rebuilt the missing /etc directory,
>from memory and a little detective work. By late Monday night,
>the new server had begun processing the backlogged mail that had
>accumulated over the weekend. Fortunately, the extra work on the
>new server paid off: the megabytes of backed-up mail that would
>have taken the old machine days to process were finished off by
>the new system in about 12 hours. So although our down time was
>about a day and a half longer than we expected, the result is a
>RootsWeb that's faster, more efficient and better equipped to
>serve the needs of Internet genealogists.
>
>Thanks to all for your patience while we recovered from this
>disaster. We are especially grateful to RootsWeb's Members,
>Sponsors, Donors, and Patrons, who have collectively made it
>possible for us not only to repair the crippled operating system,
>but also to increase the server's capacity so everyone benefits.
>
>ROOTSWEB ON TV? (by Karen Isaacson). As if there weren't enough
>else going on here this week, we also had a TV crew at our house
>on Monday, filming for a program about genealogy online.
>
>They were here from about 10:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. and filmed
>on our deck (they loved the trees and mountains, though the noisy
>birds annoyed the woman in charge of sound), in our living room,
>and upstairs in the computer room. They even have footage of
>Brian with his hands in the guts of a server, as he worked to get
>lists.rootsweb.com back online.
>
>Totally ignoring helpful advice from one of the editors of this
>tome ("Put Vaseline on your teeth, don't wear plaid..."), we
>responded to a series of questions like, "Is information on the
>Web reliable?" and "Are there mailing lists besides ROOTS-L?"
>Brian did pretty well, but I freeze in this sort of situation, so
>they got a lot of footage of me going, "Um...." ROOTS-L is the
>only mailing list, right? Anyhow, Cyndi Howells flew down for the
>day, and gave a lovely interview and set them straight, so no
>harm done. The program is to be aired in about six weeks. We'll
>post the details about when and where once we have them.
>
>TODAY'S ADVENTURES AT ROOTSWEB (by Dr. Leverich). Many folks may
>have noticed that the main Web server for IIGS, RootsWeb,
>USGenWeb, and WorldGenWeb was down for about two hours this
>Wednesday morning. The reason was that we were physically moving
>the server from its old home at DataCourse.com (where it was
>filling two T1s) to Lightspeed.net (where it has access to a T3
>(28xT1) connection to the Internet). That gives us plenty of
>bandwidth and allows us to continue adding new services for
>genealogists. There were no casualties excepting a few innocent
>bystanders who bruised themselves rolling on the sidewalk
>laughing at the sight of the middle-aged and pudgy Leverich
>sprinting wobbly but rapidly through downtown Bakersfield, while
>juggling a 70-pound server and dozens of cables and accessories.

>A message on the Internet caught my eye the other day and I can't
>get it out of my mind. A West Coast genealogist had been
>exchanging information with a researcher in Virginia for some
>time. Then it happened. Her last message bounced -- it couldn't
>be delivered as the address no longer existed. Fortunately she
>had received a number of family group sheets from her
>correspondent which listed a telephone number. When she called
>the number a man answered, so she asked for her Internet friend
>and, after a slight hesitation was told, "Oh, Mary Ann passed
>away three weeks ago." Shocked, but ever gracious, she expressed
>her sympathy and commented how close this long-distance
>relationship had become and how it will be missed by her. The
>husband explained that he was sorry that he couldn't be of any
>help because he really didn't know much about what his wife was
>doing with her genealogy.

>Perhaps you too have noticed at genealogical gatherings that the
>average age of the participants is something in excess of 39
>years, at least judging by hair color. Most of us really don't
>have a lot of time to devote to our hobby until after the kids
>are grown, out of school and we've retired. Then it is no longer
>a hobby, it becomes an obsession. At some point in our continuous
>search for dead people, our ancestors, we recognize our own
>mortality and start to think about a permanent home for our
>research. If our children or grandchildren appear to be
>interested, we have it made, but frequently that's not the case.
>Then what happens to our "stuff"?
>
>Genealogists are usually pretty smart people, until it comes to
>providing for the distribution of their genealogical assets. The
>latter, in my case anyway, is a room full of books, journals,
>magazines, pamphlets, maps, photographs, brochures, newsletters,
>computer equipment and furniture (desk, chairs, file cabinets,
>tables, lamps, etc.). The files are loaded with folders bearing
>family and town names, historic events, and a bunch labeled
>"MISC." There are miles of computer printouts, hundreds of
>photocopies, and many "original" vital records. My desk is
>usually loaded with correspondence awaiting an answer -- either
>mine or from someone else. What should my wife do with all this
>stuff when I make the ultimate research trip -- a personal
>meeting with my ancestors?
>
>Some of our brighter colleagues say "My college library is
>getting all my stuff" or it's going to the local public library
>or to the LDS Family History Library in Salt Lake City or even to
>the Library of Congress. Well, I hate to be the one to tell you
>this, but unless you are a celebrity or a huge financial donor,
>these institutions probably won't want your material -- they just
>don't have room for it. They would be grateful for a copy of your
>book, but they might not want the manuscript or research notes.
>The FHL would appreciate a GEDCOM disk of your genealogy database
>files, but it doesn't want your paper pedigree charts or family
>group sheets.
>
>So what are your spouse and children to do with all of your
>stuff? They could really do a couple of dumb things with it if
>you don't provide guidance to them while you still can. It could
>be placed in the weekly trash collection and don't say "They
>wouldn't do that" because it unfortunately happens all the time.
>How about a garage sale? Now that is really scary, but it also
>happens every day. Remember all those old photos and tintypes you
>have seen in flea markets? How about all those bargain genealogy
>books you bought because you got to that garage sale before the
>dealers did? They all had to come from someplace.
>
>What should you do to insure the sane distribution of your
>genealogical assets? Perhaps the first thing is to make a record
>of what you have and then try to keep it current. Show the
>acquisition date and how much you paid for each item on the
>inventory sheets. This is especially helpful for artifacts,
>collections, and books. A photographic record of these items,
>including those of rare books, could also be useful. Microfilm,
>microfiche and complete photocopies of books and some records
>have value. Back issues of many journals, newsletters, and
>magazines are also in demand by genealogists and therefore have
>value. However, if you don't tell them what is valuable, your
>heirs probably won't know.
>
>Now that you have identified your assets, you need to tell
>someone what you want done with them. Maybe the simplest way is
>to prepare a letter to your heirs, but remember this lacks the
>force of law. If they want to, they can toss everything in the
>trash. A better way to provide for the distribution is in your
>will, particularly if you also designate sufficient funds to
>carry out your wishes. Your Last Will and Testament is also where
>you may make specific bequests: your copy of the 1898 edition of
>Burke's Peerage to your FGS Conference roommate or your old
>roll-top desk to your newest granddaughter. Your wishes can now
>be enforced by the courts, if necessary.
>
>If you still want to have any of your assets given to your alma
>mater or a local library or anywhere else, personally contact
>that agency and discuss the possibility -- right now. It won't
>come as a surprise to them and they should be able to advise you
>immediately of any conditions of acceptance. If you can support
>those conditions, ask for a written acknowledgment that can be
>placed with your will.
>
>Some other things that you can do right now are to distribute
>copies of your research among your family, friends, and, perhaps,
>local or national libraries. This is simple if you have
>progressed to the book-writing stage, but don't be too concerned
>if you haven't. Many genealogists assemble their pedigree charts,
>group sheets, pertinent vital records, selected family
>photographs, and other important documents in notebook form. They
>write a brief introduction, provide a table of contents, and
>sometimes an index before having copies made for distribution.
>Afterwards, the notebook can be kept current with a new year's
>letter which might include new charts and photos.
>
>Computerized genealogical data can be distributed in the same way
>on diskette. Sometimes an envelope or jacket is provided in the
>notebook described above to house data disks. Another way some
>researchers try to insure the safeguarding of their electronic
>data is to submit it to the LDS Ancestral File (tm) or one or
>more of the other commercial collections. If you don't know how
>to do this, consult your local genealogical society or Family
>History Center or even the public library for instructions.
>
>Another thing you can do right now to benefit your heirs is to
>clean up your files. Eliminate unnecessary correspondence and
>duplicate copies of records. Toss out all those old printouts you
>made in 1984 on your Apple IIe computer. Sell all the
>"Genealogical Helper" magazines you have saved since 1973,
>because you will never open one of them again and you know it. If
>you get 50 cents each for them you can have a pretty good dinner.
>Give away all that old computer software that is taking up room
>on your bookshelves -- it's probably not worth anything anyway.
>Label your photographs, and diskettes too.
>
>I find it a bit morbid, but you may wish to write your epitaph
>and select your tombstone now to insure future researchers will
>not encounter some of the same problems that you've had.
