Subject: [INFRANKLI] PIONEER REUNION
In case you don't have this
Randy
It's time to make your reservations for the second biennial Franklin County
Pioneer Reunion!
Who: Anyone who wants to do research on ancestors who lived in Franklin
County and especially those who want to share information.
Dates: October 6 & 7, 2006 (Friday and Saturday)
Time: We will meet at the library at 9:00 each morning.
Place: Brookville Library in Brookville, Indiana
This is a very informal gathering of genealogical researchers who have an
interest in Franklin and surrounding counties. We ask that you come to the
library each morning before starting your research. The courthouse and
health department will be open on Friday, and you may also wish to go on
cemetery searches or explore the land your ancestors once lived on. Karen
and Barb will give a demonstration of "grave witching" (time to be
announced--bring two wire coat hangers if you are interested in doing this.)
Two years ago, several people stayed until Sunday to tour cemeteries.
The library has generously offered to make extra space available to us
during this event, and they will extend their hours for us on Saturday.
NEW! The library has received a grant to get speaker(s) for us, possibly
from the Allen County Public Library in Ft. Wayne. Topics and times for
those speakers have yet to be determined.
We will be eating dinner as a group on both Friday and Saturday evenings,
and the ladies group at one of the local churches may serve lunch for us one
day as a fundraiser. If you need overnight accommodations, we'll be sending
you a list of nearby places very soon.
The registration fee is $10.00 per person or couple and includes one copy of
the reunion CD. Whatever money is left after expenses will be donated to
the Brookville Library.
The reunion CD will be put together by our new volunteer, Jon Bradshaw, and
will include GEDCOM files from researchers who send them. To have your
genealogy file included on the CD, send it in gedcom format to Jon by
September 15th per the instructions on Page 2 of the registration form.
We're sorry, but we do not have the time or resources to include your
genealogy information if it is not in gedcom format.
Please send your registration form and fee to Barb by September 30th.
Registrations will also be accepted at the event, but we would prefer
advance registration so we know how to plan.
If you cannot attend but want a copy of the CD, please send the registration
fee and we will mail a CD to you within two weeks after the reunion. Extra
copies are $5.00 each.
Please print out the attached registration form and mail it with your check.
Questions? Email questions to Karen.Creamer(a)verizon.net or
BarbKuy(a)insightbb.com . We will be sending you more details as they become
available. Hope you see you at the reunion!

HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR GEDCOM FILE FOR THE CD
We're sorry, but we can only accept files in GEDCOM format to be included on
the CD. Email your file as an attachment to:
Jon Bradshaw plusalpha(a)verizon.net
Here are the rules for getting your file included on the CD:
The file must be in GEDCOM format. All genealogy programs should be able to
create a gedcom file.
o If you don't know how to do this, check the program's Help file or the
publisher's website.
The name of the file must be your EMAIL NAME (the part before the @) so we
can identify the file as belonging to you. (example: if my email address
is cooldude(a)earthlink.net, my gedcom filename will be cooldude.ged)
o This step probably will require you to rename your file. After you create
the file, go to the folder where you saved it and right-click on the file
name, then pick "rename." Type the new name, including the .ged.
Email your file as an attachment. The subject line must read "Gedcom file
for CD."
In the body of your email message, type your full name, address, phone
number and email address. We will be compiling a list of file submitters,
which will be included on the CD so people will know how to contact you.
