Well i got this spam off my email lists and no knowing if hes on any others
i thought i would share the spam.
Washington State Genealogical Society is soliciting articles for a new
journal-style periodical. Our hope for The Washington State Genealogist
journal is
to provide a statewide outlet for individuals or organizations to publish
previously unpublished articles containing information of genealogical value
about
those who pioneered and developed Washington State. It is not important
what
a contributing organization is called or the position of an individual
compiler/author. Sometime in the future we may ask that contributors be
members of
Washington State Genealogical Society, but that is not required now. We
especially want to provide small groups who do not have their own journal
for
publishing access and wide coverage of their research.
We would like to explore a wide variety of sources, such as family bible
records; school faculty lists, student censuses and yearbooks; attendees at
pioneer days, company picnics or reunions; indexes for old, unindexed local
history
books; newspaper lists of court actions (licenses, dissolutions, land
proofing, probates, etc.); abbreviated extracts of birth, marriage and death
notices,
or "gossip column" notes of family interest; genealogies or ahnentafels of
local or state leaders; and other information showing who was where, when,
and
doing what.
We hope to receive enough material to publish a 30- to 40-page journal on a
quarterly basis.. We wish to limit articles to no more than four pages in
length, although we could serialize longer writings of particular interest.
A
rticles need to identify sources using footnotes or end notes, or in an
introductory statement if the article is an extract from a single source.
To prevent
copyright infringement, sources must be in the public domain or permission
must
be obtained from the copyright holder if the information extracted exceeds
"fair use".
We would prefer articles to be sent as an email attachment in Word or
WordPerfect document or Rich Text (RTF) format. Times New Roman 12-pitch
font is our
preference, and pages should have 1-inch margins.
If you would like to send us an article for our first issue, we would like
it
sent to my email address no later than 31 January 2006.
I hope this adequately describes our goals for The Washington State
Genealogist. Please contact me if you have additional questions or
suggestions, or if
you wish to contribute an article.
Sincerely,
Bob Witherspoon
