Missouri Digital Heritage : Birth and Death Records
Missouri Digital Heritage : Birth and Death Records
Thank you, Missouri!
We check the census records, we check ancestry.com, we look for needles in a haystack at worldconnect.com (Rootsweb), but do we remember that the states have vital records info? Check your state web sites (*.gov), check the state library sites, the state archives...see what state records and state owned books are available for you to search. State level resources for genealogists are treasure chests, waiting to be discovered.

The Northwest Florida Fair Grounds - Fort Walton Beach, Florida
The Northwest Florida Fair Grounds - Fort Walton Beach, Florida
As Spring time moves a little closer each day, we will all be looking for an excuse to get out of the house! Not many folks realize that there is a fun playground park at the fairgrounds location. There is also a local produce market that will be re-positioned closer to the playground. I'm not sure of the days or hours, but thought I would send you this link, anyway. Here you can view the NWFL Fairgrounds schedule to see if there are events in which you are interested in attending.

In the Know, Now
At
glennbeck.com: the poll of the day is "Should the federal government fund embryonic stem-cell research?" The current results look like this: "Yes" votes are 5.21%. "No" votes are 94.79%.
That Glenn Beck is a conservative is a factor that should remind us that those accessing his web site are most likely conservatives, also. Nevertheless, the results are impressive. The issue of embryonic stem cell research, which has kept a low profile during the Bush years, has been resurrected as a hot topic issue since President Obama has chosen to federally fund stem cell research under specifically restricted guidelines which would prohibit cloning, for example.
The group who opposes this type of research is traditionally, those individuals who oppose abortion. So the real question it would seem, is, "Do you believe that an embryo is human life?" This seems obvious to those of certain religions and moral persuasions.
Embryo's are where human life begins, the end, aim, and task of the procreative process that has no other reason, other than to produce little people who will grow up to be big people who discuss beliefs and values like this.
The embryos obtained for scientific research, however, are "leftovers" straight from the fertility farms. The embryos are viable (living), four to five days old, fertilized for the purpose, originally, and ostensibly for impregnation via the "in vitro" fertilization procedure. Again, the plot thickens. What is the morality of these clinics? What and where in this story is the potential for corruption?
Begin with the value system that says the fetus is a living being. See where it leads you.

Mitt Romney for President My Man Mitt
Mitt Romney for President My Man Mitt
I thought this website was well put together. I'm just so sure that Romney is the best person for the job that it hurts to realize that someone like Huckabee can do so much damage to Romney's chances.

The Cockcroft's and Obedience Neel
Although this website is dated back a few years, it is the only link I can make for my Obedience Neel Noyes Barks with the Cockcroft family. The letter contained, here, from Lewis (Beedy's brother), is a gem! Reading it confirms to me that they were from Georgia, where Obedience did in fact, marry Mr. Barks.

This is a website that seems to go beyond genealogy. It digs right into the heart and history of the LDS people and their love of family and church. Use its links to enrich your interest in family history and religion.

Enrichment Clubs
Our Relief Society leaders are working hard on our behalf to give us an excellent Enrichment Club activity, as often as we want or as often as we can attend. Now, Jessica just needs to know which clubs you are interested in and the times that you are available.
Here's my feedback:
Even if you just put in for one of these clubs, you'll be improving yourself in some area; inviting a less active person to attend would also be a good way to fellowship--we're very social with this, you know.
Here's my feedback:
- Cooking, Lunch Bunch--I've attended two of these activities so far and they were both great! Learning to make sushi, or learning to eat sushi was a fun thing to do gathered around the table at Cheryl's house. I'm looking forward to more of these activities. Wednesday's are good for me!
- Crafts: I'm interested in this subject--sewing, crochet, etc., but only as a student. My own skills are very minimal. Not sure if I could get to this event before summer, though. And not sure when I could attend during the week. However, after I get my house picked up and decluttered (a ten year task), I would love to host one of these classes.
- Service--keep it simple, silly. If I can come up with any other thoughts on this, I will let y'all know!
