McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Something to think about... I ran across an essay with an interesting basis and thought I'd share it for others' consideration. http://www.acm.org/pubs/articles/journals/cacm/2001-44-3/p111-stallman/p111-stallman.pdf ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 05:14:50 -0400 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Surnames and Ellis Island Did they really change grandpop's name at Ellis Island? http://www.genealogy.com/88_donna.html?Welcome=986649223 ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 05:26:21 -0400 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] FREE on-line genealogy tutorial http://www.byu.edu/news/releases/Apr/onlinefamilyhistory.htm This site is church-oriented, and it focuses primarily on LDS resources. But, Lesson 1 under "Finding your ancestors" is a good basic resource for most researchers, especially the beginners. And, while Lesson 2 deals specifically with PAF, it has good suggestions for everyone about using a computerized genealogy program...although I have to disagree with the statement, "...it is much better to enter your names in a genealogy computer program." I'll probably be the last holdout for manual record-keeping left one day. Thank goodness they have high-tech (flash) and low-tech (text) options available. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 18:08:01 EDT From: BEETSTURNER@aol.com Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Rose Family - --part1_b4.13f4a290.2804de41_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I saw a request for information on Daniel Morton Rose recently. I dont know anything about the Rose family yet, but was wondering if anyone is researching the Rose family in east Tennessee. I have a James (Jim) Rose b abt 1880 Knox, TN who married Amanda Jefferies. They had a Charlie Rose (1900-1970) who married Luzania Atkins daughter of John Henry Adkins and Sara Elizabeth McPhetridge.

McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Email woes Hi, everyone... I've discovered some issues with mail going out and coming in recently on several of my accounts (they all forward to this one). If you've written a personal note to me that is important, but I haven't responded, please write to me at knox@tngenweb.org -- that one is still mostly stable, even though I'm trying to phase it out. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 08:39:06 -0400 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] 1941 Bicentennial program CD's Apologies to everyone for my delays. I discovered a glitch in my CD writer and have been trying to resolve it -- and I got sidetracked by focusing on it, which made me a very bad girl for not letting everyone know the status of the CD's. Crossing fingers -- they'll all be cut and in the mail this evening or tomorrow morning. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 11 Apr 2001 18:11:38 -0400 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Big prayer request Most of you know our Robert McGinnis lost his father late last year after Mr. McGinnis suffered a slip-and-fall accident in their driveway. He developed complications. Over this past weekend, Robert's mom fell in almost the same spot and landed in the hospital with a fractured pelvis and 17 stitches in her head. She is home from the hospital now, but Robert's her roommate <g> and is pretty much the primary care-giver. That's in addition to all he's involved with on the historic front in Knoxville (spring has sprung, and the Dogwood Festival is going full bore). Please remember Mrs. McGinnis and Robert in your thoughts and prayers. I doubt Robert will be able to be actively "among us" for a while, so, as I learn more, I'll pass it along. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2001 00:29:40 -0400 From: "Billie R. McNamara" <knox@tngenweb.org> Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Update on Mrs. McGinnis I talked briefly with Robert tonight. He's taking another week off to spend with his mom. She's mobile...more so than the doctors would like, but typical for a woman of her lifestyle and personal drive. They do appreciate your prayers and thoughts. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2001 10:40:54 EDT From: Tenc@aol.com Subject: [KnoxCoTN] Knox Co TN area phone directories: Harbison's X Roads Exchange - --part1_e2.133d4c8f.280869f6_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This is from the June 1916 directory of the Peoples Telephone and Telegraph Company, Knox Co and surrounding areas.
