Subject: [KnoxCoTN] A quick survey

A friend recently sent out a questionnaire that had lots of "favorite/least

favorite" kinds of things on it. The idea was to answer the questions and

then forward the list on to other friends so you could get to know each

other. I thought it might be something we could adapt to genealogy....so

I'm going to give it a whirl.

If you wish to participate, please answer the questions and then send the

completed form back TO BILLIE -- I'll compile the answers (anonymously) and

post them on a Web site.

 

1. What three geographic areas do you focus your research on most?

2. What genealogical/historical research aspect do you consider yourself

an expert on?

3. What genealogical/historical research aspect do you feel is your

weakest point?

4. What is the most-used gene/hist reference book/CD/publication in your

personal collection?

5. What is the gene/hist reference book/CD/publication you use most-often

in a library collection?

6. If you could spend any amount of money on one reference source for your

home, what would it be?

7. What is your favorite gene/hist Website? Why?

8. What is your favorite gene/hist research library? Why?

9. What is your least favorite gene/hist research library? Why?

10. What is your biggest "if only I had done that..." story in your research?

11. What was your biggest "aha!" moment in your research?

12. What is your most-serendipitous/most-Twilight Zonish experience in

your research?

13. If you could spend the afternoon with one of your ancestors, whom

would it be?

14. Which one of your ancestors do you like to talk about the most? Why?

15. Are you mostly computerized, or do you still do mostly manual forms

and record-keeping in your research?

16. What genealogy computer program do you use (if you have more than one,

which do you use the most)?

17. What keeps you going through the lean times in your research?

18. Do you belong to a gene/hist society?

19. What do you believe is your greatest benefit from the membership in #18?

20. What single piece of advice do you consider most-important to give to

new genealogy researchers who cross your path?

21. Do you have a plan for your work for after you're gone?

22. How many genealogy mailing lists do you subscribe to?

23. Which of #22 do you consider to be the most-helpful? Why?

24. Do you subscribe to on-line genealogy journals?

25. Which of #24 do you consider to be the most-helpful? Why?

A quick question as to how I could locate or contact two members of the 1954

Rule High School Class, which was posted on the Knox County site. One was a

Jimmy MORTON listed as a Junior and the other was a Lois MORTON listed as a

Sophomore. Any ideas??? Thanks, Nina

Subject: Re: [KnoxCoTN] Common Sense, that's me.

Please count me among those who benefit from reminders such as the one Billie sent to us about viruses. It may be a matter of common sense, but yours truly here gets busy, gets distracted, dithers here and there and dodges common sense in any number of ways. Also, some of us just aren't canny enough about these 'puters to appreciate some of the problems until we get smacked.

I guess we're "uncommon," but we're out here!

Thanks again, Billie.

regards,

Joan Troy

Nina -- try the Knoxville City Schools (go to http://www.korrnet.org/ and

click the link to the city of Knoxville). They may have a last known

address for reunions, etc.
