If anyone on this email LIST does NOT have internet access, would you mind
letting me or the others know via this list?
Reason I am asking this is because we will usually tell everyone to go to
this and that address and forget that some persons only have email capability.
Maybe if we are aware of this we might be able to help you more -- don't
know how yet, but I am sure we might figure a way.
There used to be a way of getting the internet pages via text email by
asking the page address to the University of Texas at Austin; but, this
hasn't worked for awhile and I haven't found any of the other addresses I
had for this working either recently.
I do realize that without internet access you are not aware that we have
online queries from persons around the world for others to see these
queries and write to the person looking for info directly. If you wish to
place a query there (and here too) just send it to this list or to me
directly (jmurphy(a)erinet.com) and PLEASE mention you don't have internet
access so I know to manually put the query online there for others to find
and match them up with YOU. Gibson Co must be in the message itself and
subject line -- I do 3 counties and need to know which area to place the
query (also in query please state surname in CAPS, given names, some dates
and places you know in the county, or spouses or children's names so we can
identify with your family more easily)...
For example you might write to me and state you don't have internet access
and would like the following to be put into the queries section:
ex: Searching for John DOE and his wife Mary (surname unknown) who married
around 1840 in Gibson Co, IN and were living there in 1850 and 1860
census-time. Need the birthdates and places for both John and Mary as well
as the children's names. Trying to find their parents names too. I
believe that one of their children might be William DOE b Feb 2, 1843 who
later moved to Iowa. Then put your name and email address.
Thank you,
Judy M.
