Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
While most of you may be aware of this service from our government, I just discovered it and surfed around the NARA site for almost 25 minutes trying to discover how to ask for a form. Here is the reply, which gives you exact directions on how to request which form for specific information. Hope this helps.

Welcome to the National Archives e-mail reference and information service: http://inquire@arch2.nara.gov ! Operated by the staff of the Customer Services Division, "inquire" is intended to provide timely responses to reference requests, or at least get the process started quickly, and to answer general inquiries about the
National Archives and Records Administration.
This message is automatically generated whenever the word "form" or "forms" is detected in the text of a message because we've found that it is most frequently used to obtain genealogical information. If your request is for genealogical information, certain kinds of genealogical requests must be submitted on specific forms. (AHA!) The numbers and subjects of these forms is as follows:
Form 80 (Military service and pension records prior to World War I, including the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Civil War, and Spanish-American War);
Form 81 (Passenger Arrivals)
Form 82 (Copies of Census Records)
Form 83 (Eastern Cherokee Applications)
Form 84 [Land Entry Files]
Form 180 (Military service records, World War I and later).
If you have indicated the FORM NUMBER, the QUANTITY needed, and YOUR POSTAL MAILING ADDRESS, our goal is to mail the forms and related leaflets within 3 to 5 working days. Requests for really large numbers of forms for institutional use may have to filled by another office (we'll take care of it!).
However, if you did not do this, please resend your e-mail to: inquire(a)arch2.nara.gov with the FORM NUMBER(S), the QUANITY needed, and YOUR POSTAL MAILING ADDRESS.
If your inquiry concerns a different subject or requires a more substantive reply, it will be evaluated by an archivist (a real person, honest!) and either answered directly, or referred to the proper reference or other office.
As with any electronic system, bugs may emerge. Please send your comments, complaints, or praise about "inquire" to: rick.blondo(a)arch2.nara.gov .

Hello everyone,
I have 17 letters written by Joel POWELL, my g.g.grandfather, to his son
Wilber POWELL living in Corning, Iowa starting about 1879.
I went through these letters and these are the names in them. In most
cases there is just the name. A few have more information, i.e. where they
went. I would be willing to do look-ups on them as they appear in the
POWELL letters.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (September 28, 1998) -- Millions of family
records dating back more than 450 years are being made available to
the public today in two CD-ROM packages by The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day Saints, the world's foremost authority on genealogy.
The North American Vital Records Index and the British Isles Vital
Records Index contain church, civil and parish records from the United
States, Canada and the countries of England, Wales, Scotland and
Ireland.
"These new CDs may save families hundreds of hours of time and
painstaking research," said Elder D. Todd Christofferson, executive
director of the Church's Family History Department. "The process is as
simple as typing in a name. But this is only the beginning of what's
to come. The Church is aggressively working toward developing other
products that will simplify genealogical research, making it faster
and easier to access needed information and trace family histories."
The North American Vital Records Index lists nearly five million names
taken from church and civil records and from other collections in the
United States and Canada. The items in this seven-CD set focus on
marriage records (6 discs) and also list some births and christenings
(1 disc). The North American records indexed date from 1620 to1888.
The index will be updated periodically as more information becomes
available, adding millions of new names with each future volume.
The British Vital Records Index contains nearly five million names
from parish registers, civil registrations and other record
collections in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The records on
the index span more than three centuries, from 1538 to 1888. The five
CDs in this set concentrate on birth and christening records (4 discs)
and also list some marriages (1 disc). The amount of accessible data
can vary greatly from parish to parish. This vital records index will
be an ongoing project which will also be updated periodically.
"Nearly half of American families can trace part of their lineage to
the British Isles," Christofferson said. "Our repository of records is
the most comprehensive source available to help these families trace
their roots, not just to ancestors who arrived in America, but to
their forebears in 16th century England."
Genealogy is the third-most-popular hobby in the U.S. and the
second-most-popular topic on the Internet. According to a Maritz
Marketing Research study conducted for American Demographics Magazine,
approximately 19 million people actively trace their lineage.
Since 1978, thousands of Latter-day Saint volunteers and others have
spent millions of hours carefully reading and examining microfilmed
records. The volunteers "extract" from these original records the most
necessary and useful information, such as names, dates, places, and
family relationships. The resulting data is then indexed, and in the
case of the vital record indexes, automated into valuable resource
files that improve ease of access and save time for family history
devotees.
The Family History Department expects to begin releasing the 1880 U.S.
Census and the 1881 British Census in early 1999. This collection will
total more than 80 million names. Three other new software products
were introduced in April of this year. They include:
1. Family History SourceGuide - an automated research guide,
developed by the experts at the world-famous Family History Library.
2. The 1851 British Census - an index to census records of
Devon, Norfolk, and Warwick co.
3. The Australian Vital Records Index (1788-1905) - an index
to records from New South Wales, Tasmania, Victoria, and Western
Australia.
The Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints is the world leader in genealogical work, with more
than 3,200 family history centers worldwide and the world's largest
collection of family history records, housed in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Items from the Family History Resource File CD-ROM Series are

Margie, I started to delete this then saw the name AMMON. And in Huntingdon
Co., PA no less. I don't know of any STOUGH's but as you know I'm
researching the SCOLES family from MD/PA to OH/IN & beyond. In Knox Co., OH
1840/1850 was an Ammon Scoles, in Homes Co., OH same time there was Joseph
Ammon. Back around 1800 supposedly the Scoles family had lived in
Huntingdon Co., PA so I'm wondering.......I don't know how common the AMMON
surname was but I'd be curious to know if there are any SCOLES in the bible.

Subject: Could this be your relative?
I received the following from another list. Don't know how to contact
the individual in possession of the Bible. If you're interested in
contacting him, I'd suggest getting in touch with the newspaper.
"VIRGINIAN REVIEW - Sat 15 Aug 1998." It had the heading "VA
>MAN TRYING TO FIND FAMILY TO RETURN BIBLE.'
The article reads "YORK, Pa. - A Virginia man is trying to return a
100
year old Bible to the descendants of a York County, PA family.
But finding them has not been an easy matter.
Julian Gordon of Newport News, VA.
> Came into possession of the Bible last year, when his father-in-law
died.
His father-in-law had purchased the Bible in 1973 at an auction
in Delta.
But trying to find the family, Gordon doesn't have much to go on
-- just a few names written inside and eight photographs. The name
that occurs frequently is Stough.
The York County telephone lists about 145 numbers for homes and
businesses under that name. Gordon tried calling some of the Stoughs.
A few were openly skeptical, apparently think the call was some kind of
hoax..............."
Inscriptions, photographs, and papers inside the bible tell: "it was
given to Harry Isaiah Stough by his mother, Savannah on 25 Dec
1885.
Harry had a brother named Ammon, who married Minnie F. Welk.
They had at least three children: Marie Florence; Laroy George; and
Raymond Welk.
Other papers mention Sevannia Wantz Stough and Lydia Wantz. The
pictures were taken at Jeffres Art Studio in York.
Mr. Julian Gordon, according to the newspaper article has said he
will send the bible and contents to anybody who can tie their family
to Ammon and Harry Stough.
The newspaper quotes him "It's there. I'll send it to them. I'll pay
the postage,"
This will be quite a find if the right family can be located.
Please pass this message on to other lists. We would all appreciate
finding it if it was our family bible.
