�NElS, KINDIG, MATNEY PAPERS
Several years ago the family of Elizabeth Neis brought many boxes of family records to the
Society to save them from the trash. We have stored them for all this time. Recently we were
contacted by a family member in Pennsylvania who wanted to see some of the records. We sorted
through the boxes and dispersed the records as follows: 4 boxes were sent to the relative in
Pennsylvania, the Society took out some of the duplicate publications and that is what is listed
below, and the remaining 6 boxes were given to the Eudora Public Library.
The following titles will be housed in the Helen Osma Room of the Lawrence Public Library.
They may not be checked out, but you are certainly encouraged to use them extensively in the room.
Kith and kin of George Wolf, Governor of Pennsylvania, 1829-35.
Notebook of Matney records.
Ancestors, descendants and relatives of Charles Daniel Kindig and Ellen (Beishline) Kindig.
Genealogy of Jacob King (Konig) and Matheus King (Konig) ofNorthamption County,
Pennsylvania.

allied families.

Irena Shackelford Stiles, John Maglimmery Bowman, and Caroline Shackelford and their
ancestry.

OSMA ROOM IS COMPLETED
The renovation of the Helen Osma Family History Room in the Lawrence Public Library is
completed. The size has been doubled and we thank the Library for doing this project. We appreciate
all of you being patient while it was being worked on. Now is the time to formulate a Collection
Policy for the Society's part of the Osma Room. As you can see from the following letter from
Bruce Flanders, director of the Lawrence Public Library, they are interested in making the Osma
Room be an even greater asset to the library and the community.
The Society will hold a meeting on May 5 at 2 pm in the Osma Room at the Library. Our
topic will be to talk about and formulate policies for the Society's part in the Osma Room. We will
have representatives from the DAR and the Library present so we can all agree on the direction for
the Osma Room. A tentative policy for collecting quarterlies follows; we will discuss it at the May 5
meeting: Continue exchanging quarterlies from Kansas, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska,
Iowa, Indians, Illinois, Ohio, and Virginia. Keep 5 years of each quarterly. What to do with the ones
we discard?

P.O. Box 3664
Lawrence, KS 66046-0664
Dear Mary:
I want to thank you for your encouragement and guidance relating to our work on
expanding the Osma Room. The renovation project took a lot longer than I would
have liked, but I believe the end result is good.
We recently installed a patron counter at the entrance to the Osma Room, so we
should be able to maintain accuate statistics regarding use of the Osma Room
resources.
As you noted to me in your March 3 letter, there is more work to do. I am open to
the Society's desire to place abstracts in this room. A number of the library's
·vertical file cabinets will be available to help house these materials. Also, the
shelving on the south wall can be extended. I have asked Cecilia to coordinate
these actions.
I should note that I have a concern about the "eclectic" appearance of the
free-standing furniture and shelves in the Osma Room. I would like to work with
the Society over the next year to improve this aspect of the room.
707 Vermont Street

I would appreciate an evaluation of what freestanding furniture is needed in the
room. We can work with the Salvation Army, Social Service League, or other
groups to find a new home for the furnishings, if any, which are determined by
reference staff and Society members to no longer be needed. And, we could
explore Library or Friends funding for new furnishings, should any be identified as
desirable.
Lawrence. KS 66044-2371

Again, many thanks for your help in this, and other, library projects.
Respectfully,

�Guide to the 1885 Census, Douglas County, Kansas
Prepared by Paul Jordan. Douglas County Genealogical Society, 1999
Many of the pages of this census are not labeled with the Ward number of Lawrence or the name of the
Township, and the page numbers can be confusing. This explanation is designed for identifying localities associated with

shown on the following list. Page numbers refer to the large scribbled numbers that are usually found only on the first
page of each set of three pages of Schedule 1...Other than Schedule 1" usually is Schedules 2 through 11 and certification
pages. Film numbers are those shown on the microfilm boxes in the lAwrence Public library.

�PARTIAL INDEXES TO 1885 CENSUS, DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS
The more or less alphabetical list of residents starting on page 24 of the 1886 City
. Directory for Lawrence can be used to determine the Ward in which a resident lived, thus
eliminating the need to search all six Wards. Most of the adult males and some females are listed
in the directory, so it can be a great time-saver for census searches. By using the address listed in
the directory, and the information about street addresses and Wards below, the searcher can
learn which Ward to search in the census. A sampling indicates that the Ward locations of about
,70 to 75 percent of the heads of household in the census can be found by using the City Directory
as a surname index. Be aware that, within each letter of the alphabet in the Directory, the
surnames are not entirely in alphabetical order.
Although the 1886 City Directory doesn't list residents outside Lawrence, the 1890-91
directory does. Starting on page 230, the "Directory of the Farmers and Land Owners of Douglas
County, Kansas" shows the name of the Township in which each farm is located. Thus, for the
farm families who didn't move across Township lines between 1885 and 1890, the census user
can narrow the search from nine Townships to only one. A sampling indicates that the Township
locations of about 75 to 80 percent of the rural residents can be found by using the 1890-91
Directory as a surname index.

�What Do I Do With All of This Stuff?
by Edward Henry Gaulin (Sr.)
A message on the Intemet caught my eye the
other day and I couldn't get it out of my mind. A
West Coast Genealogist had been exchanging
information with a researcher in Virginia for
sometime. Then it happened! Her last message
"bounced" - it couldn't be delivered as the address
no longer existed.
Fortunately she had received a number of family
group sheets from her correspondent which listed
a telephone number.
When she called the
number a man answered, so she asked for her
"Internet" friend and, after a slight hesitation was
told, "Oh, Mary Ann passed away three weeks
ago." Shocked, but ever gracious, she expressed
her sympathy and commented how close this longdistance relationship had become and how it will be
missed by her. The husband explained that he was
sorry that he couldn't be of any help because he
really didn't know much about what his wife was
doing with her genealogy.
Perhaps you too have noticed a, genealogical
gatherings that the average age of the partiCipants
is something in excess of 39 years, at least judging
by hair color. Most of us really don't have a lot of
time to devote to our hobby until after the kids are
grown, out of school and we've retired. Then it is
no longer a hobby, it becomes an obsession. At
some point in our continuous search for dead
people, our ancestors, we recognize our own
mortality and start to think about a permanent home
for our research. If our children or grandchildren
appear to be interested, we have it made, but
frequently that's not the case. Then what happens
to our "stuff"?
Genealogists are usually pretty smart people, until
it comes to providing for the distribution of their
"genealogical assets." The latter, in my case
anyway, is a room full of books, joumals,
magazines,
pamphlets,
maps,
photographs,
brochures, newsletters, computer equipment and
funiture (desk, chairs, file cabinets, tables, lamps,
etc.). The files are loaded with folders bearing
family and town names, historic events, and a
bunch labeled "MISC."
There are miles of
computer printouts, hundreds of photocopies, and
many "original" vital records. My desk is usually
loaded with correspondence awaiting an answer
either mine or from someone else. What should my
wife do with all this stuff when I make the ultimate
research trip - a personal meeting with my
ancestors?

- 32-

Some of our brighter colleagues say "My college
library is getting all my stuff' or it's going to the local
public library or to the LOS Family History Ubrary in
Salt Lake City or even to the Ubrary of Congress.
Well, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but unless
you are a celebrity or a hugh financial donor, these
institutions probably won't want your material - they
just don't have room for it. They would be grateful
for a copy of your book, but they might not want the
manuscript or research notes. The Mormons would
appreciate a GEDCOM disk of your genealoogy
database files, but they don't want your paper
pedigree charts or family group sheets.
So what is your spouse or children to do with all of
your "stuff.?" They could really do a couple of
dumb things with it if you don't provide guidance to
them while you still can. It could be placed in the
weekly trash collection and don't say "They
wouldn't do that" because it unfortunately happens
all the time. How about a "garage sale?" Now that is
really scary, but it also happens every day.
Remember all those old photos and tintypes you
have seen in roadside flea markets? How about all
those bargin genealogy books you bought
because you got to that garage sale before the
dealers did" They all had to come from someplace.
What should you do to insure the same
distribution of your genealogical assets? Perhaps
the first thing is to make a record of what you have
and then try to keep it current.
Show the
acquisition date and how much you paid for each
item on the inventory sheets. This is especially
helpful for artifacts, collections, and books.
A
photographic record of these items, including
those of rare books, could also be useful.
Microfilm, microfiche and complete photocopies of
books and some records have value. Back issues
of many joumals, newsletters, and magazines are
also in demand by genealogists and therefore have
value. However, if you don't tell them what is
valuable, your heirs probably won't know.
Now that you have identified your assets, you
need to tell someone what you want done with
them. Maybe the simplest way is to prepare a letter
to your heirS, but' J&gt;emember this lacks the force of
law. If they want to, they can toss everything in the
trash. A better way to provide for the distribution is
in your will, particularly if you also designate
sufficient funds'to carry out your wishes. Your Last
Will and Testament is also where you may make
specific bequests: your copy of the 1898 edition of

�Burkes Peerage to your FGS Conference
roommate or your old roll-top desk to your newest
granddaughter. Your wishes can now be enforced
by the courts, if necessary.
If you still want to have any of your assets given to
your alma mater or a local library or anywhere else,
personally contact that agency and discuss the
possibility - right now. It won't come as a surprise to
them and they should be able to advise you
immediately of any conditions of acceptance. If you
can support those conditions, ask for a written
acknowledgment that can be placed with your will.
Some other things that you can do right now are
to distribute copies of your research among your
family, friends, and perhaps, local or national
libraries. This is simple if you have progressed to
the book-writing state, but don't be too concerned
if you haven't. Many genealogists assemble their
pedigree charts, group sheets, perinent vital
records, selected family photographs, and other
important document in notebook fonn. The write a
brief introdution, provide a table of contents, and
sometimes an index, before having copies made
for distribution. Afterwards, the notebook can be
kept current with a New Year's letter which might
include new charts and photos.
Computerized genealogocal data can be distributed in the same way on diskette. Sometimes an
envelope or jacket is provided in the notebook
described above to house data disks. Another way
some researchers try to insure the safeguarding of
their electronic data is to submit it to the LOS
Ancestral File or one or more of the other
commercial collections. If you don't know how to do
this consult your local genealogical society or
Family History Center or even the public library for
instructions.
Another thing you can do right now to benefit
your heirs is to clean up your files. Biminate unnecessary correspondence and duplicate copies of
records. Toss out all those old printouts you made
in 1984 on your Apple 2e Computer. Sell all the
Genealogical Helper Magazines you have saved
since 1973, because you will never open one of
them again and you know it. If you get fifty cents
each for them you can have a pretty good dinner.
Give away all that old computer software that is
taking up room on your bookshelves-it's probably
not worth anything anyway. Label your photographs, and disketts too.
I find it a bit morbid, but you may wish to write your
epitaph and select your tombstone now to insure
future researchers will not encounter some of the
same problems that you've had.

- 33 -

If you decide to follow some of these
suggestions, when you do eventually meet your
ancestors they may thank you for perpetuating their
memory. They may also show you where you made
some of your mistakes and be able to fill in a few of
the blank spaces in your previous research.
Remember, do it now, there may be no tomorrow.
