  1. Well I did it... last night between 1 AM and 3 AM I moved 3 of my main pages to LCC from iAmerica and the rest (about 250 pages) are now at Fortune City. Of course they are all linked together (I hope) so you may not realize they are on two different providers. Could have lots of problems with links so please let me know. I will be checking also but many pages to check.

Date 12/8/98

  1. It looks like December will be a lost month. My local provider, iAmerica, decided to pull out of Lufkin so I am changing to lcc.net which means shuffling pages around. Worst of all, I had 5 megs of space on iAmerica and will only have 1 meg on LCC.NET. Therefore, most of my stuff will go to FORTUNE CITY. May have a nightmare with the links before I'm through...Bear with me.

Date 12/5/98

  1. New page on Elizabeth Preston 1827-1895, dau. of Joseph Preston and his wife Ruth Hyde, granddau. of Othniel Preston, Jr. and Roxana Unknown. Descendants of Elizabeth were Abbott, Campbell and MacDonald.

  2. Added some info on Rootweb email list on my Other Home Pages of Interest page....(linked from the Genealogy Links section). Found some people are not aware of the roots web lists. These may have 20 or 30 subscribers or as in the case of the Southwest Virginia group, more than 400. When you subscribe and send a message it goes to the whole group...likewise, anything any of them send out will come to you... you will probably trash 95% of the mail but it is still a good way to find some answers.

Date 11/30/98

I didn't like the idea of having to get Crescendo to listen to someone elses music myself, but finally gave in and then got mad because I couldn't delete it.. found out it is easy, go to Control Panel (win95 or 98) and use Add/Remove Software.

  1. I recently came into possession of a letter written by my father when he was 8 years old, 1900, which proved Jennie Preston was married to T. J. Newman in 1900 and living in Bristol. Also found a WILL for Jennie Preston Newman. This was significant to me and to the Newmans since their records only showed T. J. Newman married Alda Roper. T. J.'s son Carol Montgomery Newman had four children, one of whom was named James Preston Newman. The remaining question is when did Jennie Preston marry Thomas James Newman--apparently sometime between 1876 and 1900 in Bristol, VA/TN. The WILL is included under DOCUMENTS.
