On what I thought was our last trip out to the car, I noticed soiled, crumpled papers and large, manila envelopes piled into the yellow recycle bins on the front porch. The hair on .the back of my neck stood up! Each and every envelope I pulled out was again labeled neatly with a surname. Each crumpled sheet, an old typed family group sheet, each done with care and sources cited. Back inside, I nervously asked the Estate Coordinator how much for the contents of the recycle bins outside? Agitated and frowning, she followed me outside. She did not undestand my question. What bins? What papers? When she saw the yellow "paper trash recycling" bins filled by herself and her workers, she said ''That's garbage! You don't want that garbage.: I assured her I did. She laughed a little too loud, shook her head, looked me up and down, and told me to take that junk, no charge. We both felt eyes burning into our backs as we carried the last bit of "trash" out to our overly filled car. At home, I discovered, Mrs.John Doe had been doing genealogy for at least 55 years. She knew how to cite her sources. She did all her genealogy research without surfing the Net, a computer or a word processor. Her work filled a very large bookcase in my home, plus a 4 drawer filing cabinet. Mrs. John Doe was probably at one time an active member of D.A. R., Mayflower descendants and Colonial Dames. She had taken several research trips to Washington, D. C. and Salt Lake City, UT. She wrote and compiled several small surname books and co-authored many others. She wrote, edited and contributed to at least four county and three surname genealogy newsletters for years. She did DAR. and Mayflower research for others by mail and wrote and received numerous genealogy correspondence. She was a member of a dozen genealogy societies in as many states. Did Mrs. John Doe have living children? I am sure she did. Her scrapbooks were filled with recent Happy Birthday & Mother's Day cards post marked same state. Why were her personal scrapbooks left to strangers? Why were old photos ignored upstairs on the floor? What was thrown away before I got there? The answer to Your Most Burning Genealogy Puzzle? Maybe. Why didn't Mrs. Joh Doe's children make arrangements for her genealogy research to be donated to a genealogy society? Did they think her hobby would have no use to anlyone else? Maybe it was just overlooked. Maybe they just didn't care. Why didn't Mrs. John Doe herself make arrangements for final disposition of all her research notes, original documents, books and collections? This is a true Story. I am telling you this story, so you will have nightmares. So you will think of the inevitable, so you will make plans. Your family could very easily dump years of your research into the garbage can before your first funeral spray is delivered, or before your ashes are cool. If your genealogy hobby, passion, addiction, compulsion has ever been a source of any irritation to any family member, it will be tossed away. I strongly urge you to make provision in your will for disposition of your research right away. Get it on paper. Make it legal. Call your friendly family lawyer. Tell your friends. Call you genealogy or historical society. Your society can help you. They have experience, and experienced persons who can answer all your questions and put your mind at ease. I have made arrangements for disposition of my genealogy research notebooks, reference books, genealogy books, file folders, genealogy software, film reader, film and fiche, and photographs to be donated to my local genealogy society. But I was shy about doing it. Now I am really pleased I did. I have color-coded scrapsbooks, family photo albums and books to be given to certain family members. A copy of the color code is with my will. If my husband and I go first, I am certain my sisters would set my genealogy area on fire. What am I going to do with the research of Mrs. �John Doe? Just in case, her work is already color coded to be given to my local genealogy society. They will eventually get all Mrs. John Doe's work, not already placed with family members or researchers. I will make every effort to find family members who will cherish her scrapbooks, photos and research. I am slowly reading her research packages and making a general index of surnames and locations. In her notes I hope to find The Answer to My Most Burning Genealogy Puzzle. Maybe.

We just had a first-ever family reunion for the descendents of Samuel Agnew Riggs, county attorney in Lawrence. His only child was born two years AFTER the raid, and that child had 7 children. Now there are about 200 descendents, none of whom would be here ifSkagg's gun had not misfired AND if Kate Riggs had not hung onto his horse. Among the descendents are two university presidents, several educators, lawyers, environmentalists, and physicians. Samuel's son Henry Earle Riggs was a railroad builder who spent the last 18 years of his career as head of civil engineering at the U of Michigan. He wrote and published a family history in the 1940s ("Our Pioneer Ancestors"). It contains first-person accounts from Samuel and Kate. I used the former to write the following. I am a university president, and I write a 500-word column for the local paper every week. Usually, it's about the university. But some stories must be told, regardless! I don't know if you have any interest at all, but ... here it is, FYI. I have used the quotation marks loosely - the words there are all his, but I have omitted quite a bit without so indicating. University and Community: History Lesson with a Sharp Point June 20,2001 Ellen-Earle Chaffee, President Mayville State and Valley City State Universities Quantrell's raid against the people of Lawrence, Kansas occurred from about 5:00 to 9:00 in the morning on August 21, 1863. A band of miscreants burned, looted, and murdered 180 people that day. One ofthe targets was county attorney Samuel Agnew Riggs, who had prosecuted Quantrell for horse stealing, robbery, and other crimes. Riggs' personal account of one incident follows, slightly edited. "Skaggs was alone. As he came up to Burt, he demanded Burt's arms. He had none. Then he demanded his money. Burt handed him what I supposed was money which Skaggs stuffed into a pocketbook already overfull, without a further word shot and instantly killed Burt. "Skaggs rode up to me and demanded my arms and my money. I told him I had no arms and gave him a small amount of money. The revolver with which he had killed Burt lay across his lap as we talked. After he had disposed of the money I gave him, he took up the revolver from his lap, and after our conversation, in which he applied to me all the opprobrious epithets his vocabulary afforded, he presented it within a foot of my breast and pulled the trigger. The cap snapped but there was no discharge. He half cocked the revolver and turned the cylinder to a good cap. I seized the barrel and was able to prevent his getting aim. We had a struggle. Ijumped to the rear of his horse, intending to escape through the lots down the street by jumping fences and making any shot he might fire a chance one. "And now came a providential interference in my behalf. My wife in an upstairs room heard Skagg's demands of Burt, ran downstairs and stood behind me and not more than three or four feet from me. I did not know this at the time. As I jumped behind his horse and ran to the east Skaggs said with an oath "Oh I can run you down easy enough" and turned his horse to the north. My wife at once seized the bridle reins and guided the horse directly at right angles to the direction in which I was running. I heard Skaggs cursing and threatening someone and heard the blows of his revolver on the neck of his horse as he was trying to beat her hands from the bridle. Powerless to help her and at her urgent insistence, I ran on and carried out my plan. Skaggs turned in his saddle and fired one shot which missed me. My wife was lof2 6/28/01 10:12 AM �QuantteU dragged over a board and wood pile and around one of the houses before her hold on the bridle reins was broken." Two years later, Samuel and Catharine Doane Earle Riggs had their only child, Henry Earle Riggs. Henry and Emma then had seven children. I am the eldest child of the eldest child of their eldest child, and all three of us are named Ellen Earle. Last week, 138 years after QuantreU's Raid, about one-third of the 200-plus heirs gathered in Virginia for a first-ever family reunion, celebrating the one day ofluck and courage that made our very existence possible.

Photo albums with sticky pages and convenient plastic covers were the invention of one decade that would leave generations picking the comers of gooey-glued pictures from yellowing pages. Birth certificates, wedding licenses and even social security cards were set firmly in place in the pages of magnetic photo albums that are potentially devastating to your descendents recollections of you. There is a way to lift those pictures and papers off without tearing and bending them or your fingernails. Boil a pot or kettle of water. Leaving the plastic sheet protector over the face of the photograph or important document, hold it gently over the steam. The heat and gentle moisture will help lift items from the sticky pages. Avoid getting too much moisture on pictures. The moisture will actually help rehydarte some types of papers. Never let the items sweat with steam. Once they are removed from the album page, cover them gently with blotter paper purchased at an art supply store. Leave the documents pressed for 12 to 24 hours. If you are worried about getting too much moisture on your photographs try removing them with a warm iron. Take off the plastic protective cover and lay the magnetic photo page facedown on a hard, covered surface. Cover it with a white sheet of paper to protect your iron. Set the iron on medium heat. Apply pressure to the page (not too much). As the page warms up, the photos edges will begin to lift. A warm hair dryer will serve the same purpose with a slower result. Photos might curl from the warmth. Press them between two books with a layer of blotter paper on top and bottom to flatten.

Article submitted by Don Vaughn. LIBRARY OF CONGRESS INTERLmRARY LOANS DELIVERED ONLINE (From Ancestry Daily News, 4 December 2000) A new service is testing the feasibility of using the Internet to fill requests at the Library of Congress. With the service, the Library is now filling interlibrary loan requests for small, fragile items by scanning the material and making the images available over the Internet. Under the new service, which is still in its early stages, the requesting library is alerted that _.33 - �although the item is non-circulating, it will be available at a specific time as a digital image. These images can be viewed and copied from the Library's interlibrary loan Web site and from the online cataloging record. The service is intended to explore the practicality of scanning, storing, and delivering materials as digital images within the time requirements of interlibrary loan clients. In its initial state, the service will scan titles that are: In the public domain Non-circulating because of physical condition or age Able to be captured in a relatively small digital file, and the Have a cataloging record on the Web in which to place a link. The motto of the service is "Copy Once, Access Always." Items scanned so far include eyewitness accounts from the Civil War, a small volume of African American dialect poems and photographs and a farcical account of a marriage ceremony at a racetrack. They and other examples of items req.uested by interlibrary loan clients can be seen online. In the past, small items that were too fragile to circulate on interlibrary loan had to be photocopied. If the item was requested again, the same procedure had to be repeated. By scanning this material and linking the images to the cataloging record, the Library responds to the initial interlibrary loan request, helps conserve the original item by eliminating the need for further photocopying, and makes the digital copy widely accessible. In preparation for digital delivery, each item is reviewed and treated by conservation staff as necessary, thtm scanned and archived as a 300 dpi TIFF image by stafffrom the Library's Information Technology Services. The archived images are then converted to PDF format and stored as single-item files on a publicly accessible server. PDF was chosen as a the format because of its ease of access and the ability to download and print the entire work as a file. A link to the PDF file is also added to the catalog record on the Web, substituting mouse click for a loan request in the future and increasing the accessibility of the Library's collections to remote users everywhere. The new service began in earnest in mid-October with the delivery ofa Revolutionary War broadside, a 19th-century pamphlet on the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty, and an item on freemasonry-all with deadlines. As it matures the service's administrators will evaluate the acceptability of digital images in lieu of photocopies and explore how to integrte a digital scanning operation into routine document delivery services. Small items in the public domain currently make up less than 1 percent of items requested from the Library of Congress, or approximately 350 items per year at the current level of use. However, the service has already proved popular as a alternative to photocopying for rare material and may actually increase the number of items "circulated" from previously off-limits collections. - a1- �KANSAS UNIVERSITY POSTS MAPS ONLINE (Capper's 4 September 2001) Old maps of Kansas have been put online by Wichita State university. School officials say they believe the collection of more than 325 historic maps is among the largest online. The maps date from 1556 to 1900 and show the changing boundaries of Kansas and the routes of explorers, railroads, roads and trails. They also show the clash of cultures, topographic details and the decorative borders and elaborate touches typical of early day mapmakers. ''You can find more information from a historical map than just locations and places," said Vrrgil Dean, historian at the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka.With a click ofa computer mouse, a researcher can see a 17th century map with international boundaries set by Spain and . France. Another click, and the viewer can travel to the 19th century and see Indian Territory divided into reservation, or zoom in on rivers and streams, county seats and roadways. The first map to show Kansas land was published by a Spanish mapmaker in 1536. It indicates places named by conquistador Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in his search for the Seven Cities ofCibola. 'Maps of New France," from 1711, includes topographic features, French forts and American Indian villages. Still another, from 1814, depicts a land with a river called ''Kansas.'' There are more showing the borders of Kansas outlined with railroads and roads, counties and streams. One printed in German was used by Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad agents to recruit immigrants for settlement along railroad land. And there are maps showing the final establishment of Kansas counties, in the 1890's. The majority of maps are part of the Robert W. Baughman Map Collection at the Wichita State University Department of Special Collections. In 1961, Baughman published many of those maps in his book KansaS in Maps. The University acquired the collection in 1962. The Internet address is: http://special collections.wichita.edulcollectionslmapsfmdex.asp or if you forget that just go to Wichita State University,Libraries,Special Collections,Digitized Map Collection.

Pearl McDonald �CHECK NURSING HOMES When you are on a research trip, don't forget to check with local nursing homes. On a recent trip, I visited a nursing home in the town where my great-grandfather lived for a time. I asked at the desk if any residents would be interested in speaking to me about the local area and the family I was researching. I did not expect the phenomenal reception I received from several residents with many stories and plenty of time to tell them to an interested person. I was given not only information, but also several new leads on my great-grandfather's history, and I had a wonderful afternoon full oflaughs and memories shared with others. Karma Y oakem AN INSURANCE POLICY FIND I have been researching the parents and siblings of my father-in-law, Gottlieb Beilinsohn, who was the only member of his family, to the best of our knowledge, to emigrate from Russia. Since he had never shared any information with the family, I was not having much success. Then, among a box of business papers, I found an old insurance policy from early in the last century. It required him to list the number of siblings and parents he had, as well as each one's gender, health history, year of death (if deceased), and age (as of the year of the policy). Although I still do not have names or years of birth, thanks to this policy, I now have a start. Joan Balinson PAGINATION NOTES When saving family records, it is wise to make a notation at the bottom of the page listing all the surnames (or in case of only one name, first names) found in the record. This saves you time you would otherwise spend in re-reading the material to find a name you remember having seen somewhere. If there is more than one page, I also immediately number the pages as "1 of [total number of pages]" and make a notation of the reference and date I located it. The name of the person or place where the reference was obtained is also important. On each page, I also note the title of the article, in case some of the pages get misplaced or separated from the rest. Diane Brown. WASTED RESEARCH TIME Keep a record of EVERYWHERE you search--the place and the record source, even if you don't find anything about your ancestors in the resource. (This applies to indexes, printed genealogies, original records, etc.) Why? Valuable time is wasted in repeating or retracing your steps. Also, when you want to double-check previous findings or weren't quite finished with researching, you know exactly where to start the research on your next visit. Make sure you always record the name of the library, town, courthouse, museum, etc., as well as the document source. Nothing is worse than having a source and not remembering where you found it. Earlene Scott �MARK YOUR RECORDS I recently worked on a genealogy in southwest Iowa for some people on the West Coast. The lady brought an elderly aunt a long distance to research their ancestors. They had been to the county courthouse, the library, and the cemetery. Time was short, so they dined at a local restaurant and headed back to the West coast. When several hundred miles along the journey home, they discovered that their genealogical records were missing! They called the places they had been without any luck. The courthouse suggested they call me. I also retraced their stops, but the records were nowhere to be found. I then volunteered to find the records they wanted so much. After this experience, I highly recommend that you mark every notebook, brief case, or other record carrier with your name, address, and phone number, and with the note to call you collect should someone find it. I have added my e-mail address also. These records are valuable to you, but they may end up in a trash can miles from home if you're not careful. If you are contacted about a lost notebook, make arrangements to reimburse the person who has so graciously contacted you. I, too, have learned the hard way, but I was fortunate to get a phone call and soon had my records back. Kathleen Kelley �JUDYm . GIDEON GRUBB �DOUGLAS COUNTY, KANSAS GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY, IN~.
