<possum> Good time for a break
<possum> Did everybody get their mid term done?
<Crill> betcha.
<Irish> I finished mine a little while ago.
<Crill> um. . .heheh. . . not quite yet.
<possum> I still have to write my query
<possum> And I need to look over the names again
<possum> That's always the hardest part
<possum> However, form the look of some of my censuses this might be a skill I could use.
<possum> Think studying invisible handwriting would be better though :)
<Crill> Am still unclear about process for CEU credit. Do we send it in, or not?
<chirho> Well, I'm back. And also back home and recuperating. Did get pages updated yesterday, but haven't finished reading emails...
*** mc ([email protected]) has joined #fian

<chirho> Welcome mc
<mc> thx! : )
<Crill> OK, possum.
<chirho> robyn1 !!!! :) :) :)

<mc> you guys are all registered in the course?
<chirho> This is a Virtual University course we're talking about here, mc
<Crill> So we send it to the group? The info so far seems contradictory.
<possum> chirho I am glad you were feeling better
<mc> ah... sorry...
<chirho> Crill, put it on our BB and send it to possum
<possum> What do you mean by back hoe?
<chirho> mc, stay around and welcome :)

<possum> I told DH I was worried about you because you sounded so sick last Sunda!!
<chirho> Thank you Crill

<dirk2> Hi, finally got home in time to get here. 7:00 PM made the difference.:-)
<chirho> Irish, I have an extra rowboat here in Erie, PA, I'll try to email it over ;)
<possum> This is after all Northwest MO
<Irish> Thanks!
<possum> Good to see you Dirk
<Mugs> Hi dirk2
<dirk2> Weather has been very nice for Feb.but just started to rain.
<Crill> where are you, Dirk?
<possum> And great to know that the time change is woring out for everybody!
<flipper> Irish, I used to live in Lodi, CA and Stockton, CA
<dirk2> Victoria, BC, CAN
<Irish> They are pretty bad now too! Where do you live now?
<flipper> ND
<Mugs> I figured you must be on PST Dirk
<Crill> a fellow Canajun, eh!
<Mugs> eh
<possum> brb
<Irish> dirk2 - do you have any info on Vancouver birth certs?
-> [chirho] PING
<Irish> Where in ND?
<Mugs> Where are you from Crill?
<flipper> south of Fargo.....I grew up in Montana
<Irish> I lived in Three Forks MT and Minot ND for a while.
<Crill> Manitoba, Canada, Mugs.
* Mugs lives in Sunny Saskatchewan Canada
* mc is living in Ottawa ON CAN
<flipper> I remember you saying that about Minot, this past week in class
<Mugs> SW corner of the province
<Crill> Good deal . . . three CJ's here.
<Irish> Oh yah :]
<Irish> Must be getting old.
<flipper> mugs, how close to Calgary?
<Crill> four!
<Mugs> are you around Winnipeg Crill
<Mugs> I am about 500 kms from Calgary (300miles)
<Crill> 70 miles west, Mugs. the Metropolis of Miami, Manitoba.
<Mugs> Crill have you ever heard of a place called Purves or Burves?
<flipper> I saw you said southwest corner.....that's the only town I know of in the area :)
<Mugs> Flipper its only 5 hours by car ....lol
<Crill> Not in Mb, Mugs. There's a Purvis in Sask, isn't there.
<flipper> Crill, I think I live abooouuuttt 300 miles from you....I think
<dirk2> Irish - BC Vital Stats has put a lot of datao
<Crill> Was in Ottawa last weekend, mc! Awful, the tree damage.
*** Peg ([email protected]) has joined #Fian
<Irish> I know - but this is one for 1919 - and they want $50.00 (don't really want to pay that much)!
<mc> yes, it looks a little depressing...
<Crill> Hey, practically neighbours, flipper! We've probably driven by.
<chirho> :) Peg
<Mugs> I'm not sure Crill
<Crill> Especially from the air. Unreal, mc.
*** Peg is now known as MathAce
<MathAce> be back in a minute.
<flipper> I remember when I lived in CA just driving 10 miles was way tooooo far. People laugh at us when we go to buy groceries about 35 miles away....I love it!!!!
<mc> yes, i guess it would look totally different from the air... but it sure was pretty when it was happening!
<Crill> Why, mugs? You know someone there?
<dirk2> oops hit wrong key :-) --lot of data online URL is under "BC Archives"
<Crill> Yup, flip. Good prairie country.
<Crill> Weird, eh, mc?? The beauty of destruction . . .
<Irish> Tried the BC archives - the birth date is too recent to be on their
<Irish> site
<chirho> Jack London started one of his books with a few poetic prose lines about the northern winter's beauty and dangers..
<mc> yes, it is strange, so beautiful... but people suffering
<flipper> As I said b?4 I grew up in MT. when I'd mention the long drives, my BIL would say no way, how can you exist? Boy, am I glad there's a lot of unenlightened people out there
<Crill> and then there's "Sam McGee"!
<robyn1> gotta go guys, good to see everyone again
<Mugs> Crill I am trying to read some notes my grandfather wrote. They are all in Russian except for the place name and i think it says Purves or Burves Man
<chirho> Thanks for coming robyn, come back soon :)
<robyn1> ok
*** robyn1 has quit IRC (Leaving)
<possum> And the night on the Marge of Lake Lebarge when I cremated Sam McGee :)
<Crill> Hm. Let me check mymap, Mugs. Could be one I don't know.
<Mugs> and its the first time I've been warm...
<flipper> Speaking of Russian...... I have a question that I feel I should have asked a VERY LONG time ago.......
<possum> My grandparents were from TN
<possum> Not the Irishment the other side
<Crill> And there wasn't a breath in that land of death; as I hurried horror-driven . . .
<possum> Wonder how they liked their first NW MO winter?
<flipper> My grandmother was born in Odessa..... But everybody claims her as German/Russian..... Please explain....
*** Temp ([email protected]) has joined #Fian
<chirho> I used to find em pretty COLD possum !
<chirho> wb Temp
<dirk2> BC Archives Home Page -- http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/index.htm
<Temp> well i'm here and glad to be so
<possum> A lot of Germans had emigrated to Russia
<Mugs> Flipper there is a religios group known as Mennonites who went from Germany to Russian and them to N. america
<possum> So she might have been of German ancestry although she was from Russia
<Crill> Ok, what do I know. There is a Purvis, and not that far from here *blush*. It's a very small village, right near the US border, center of the province.
<flipper> okay, so is it like my Irish searching......search Russia and then Germany? My grandmother's family were devout Catholic
<Mugs> Is it on a current map Crill?
<possum> :)
<Crill> Is that where your people settled, mugs?
<possum> Well this has been a great winter chirho So far
<possum> Too much mud though
<Mugs> no but my grandfather spent some time there before he met my grandmother
<flipper> I have the same problem with my Grandfather (Austrian/Hungarian)
<chirho> Up here, too, no days where we were subzero, the bay isn't even frozen
<Crill> Yes, mugs. A good one.
<Crill> Just south of Crystal City, Pilot Mound.
<dirk2> I forget criteria births 100 yrs - deaths 20 yrs -marriages to come soon (I think)
<Mugs> Crystal City!! thats where he met my grandmother
<possum> Well flipper Hungary was once part of the Austro Hungarian empire
<Crill> aha, mugs! The plot thickens!
<possum> Before WWI
<Mugs> Crill
<Mugs> Crill
<Mugs> Crill
<flipper> I know this is Irish research.....but, where do you start to search with things like Aust/Hung
<Crill> The towns are about 10 miles apart.
<Crill> Hey, neat, Mugs!! Is this the plot thickening??
<possum> When did they come flipper?
<flipper> 1900
<Mugs> I am so happy to know that
<Mugs> Crill it is a rainbow hug from me to you
<possum> Well they would have been born in what was then the Austro-Hungarian Empire
<Crill> Great, mugs . . . am warm all over.
<possum> Actually they might be neither Austrian or Hungarian.
<flipper> she was born in Odessa, Russia....they met in America
<possum> The empire included lots of other nationalities
<flipper> possum, what do you mean.....
-> [chirho] PING
<possum> In fact that was one of the factors which began WWI.
<Mugs> I wondered first of all if it was a town and then I wondered if it still existed or had gone the way of so many prairie towns
<Mugs> faded off into the sunset after the elevators disappeared
<possum> The heir to the Austro-Hungarian emoire was assinated by a Serb.
<flipper> supposedly he was born in Austria (I've been told in a town called--Istvonfeldt----can't find the town anywhere
<Crill> It must be very small; the town identifier is in the <200 population category.
<possum> Although Serbia was a country a lot of Serbs were included in the empire
<chirho> flipper, have you looked for an Autro-Hungarian list on rootsweb? If there is one, you're likely to get some answers there..
<possum> Actually they are still having a lot of problems over there today
<flipper> I was on the Hungary list for a whie and that's where I found the town wasn't
<possum> My sister an army captain is on a break from Bosnia right now
<possum> But she will have to go back!!
<Mugs> Crill I have sooo little infor on my grandfather. He died in 1935 and his info went with him
<chirho> flipper, I have some URL's for around the southeastern Europe area... will try to find them for you
<chirho> Maybe one will lead to more?
<Mugs> This is another little piece you have given my tonight
<flipper> thanks, I really appreciate any help :)
<possum> Did you look for a map the empire in 1900 flipper?
<Crill> Have you checked Mb vital stats, Mugs? At that date, they should have some info on him.
<dirk2> Irish - Thereis a new site up called BC Cemetary Finding Aid
<flipper> I don't see any of the newbies in here....did any reply?
<Irish> Where is it?
<possum> The empire included several counties or parts of countries
<chirho> Crill made it :)
<Crill> When did he come, Mugs? Was he part of the Mennonite emigration?
<flipper> no, I haven't possum
<Mugs> He died in Sask
<possum> So they probably weren't from what is now Hungary
<Crill> Newbie here, flip.
<Mugs> No as a matter of fact he was a Catholic
<dirk2> http://www.islandnet.com/bccfa/homepage.html
<Crill> Hm. Any kids born here?
<dirk2> got that
<flipper> oh my.....you weren't sounding like a newbie....... :)
<Mugs> Yes my Dad and his brothers and sisters
<Crill> I bluff well, flip! :]
<possum> flipper maybe we can find something on the web tomorrow
<Irish> Thanks dirk2 :)
<Crill> In Mb?
<possum> We can both look and email each other
* mc whispers: Can I ask a stupid question?
<flipper> thanks, possum.....I knew better Crill....I've seen you around the rooms :)
* chirho whispers, sure, mc
<Mugs> No in Sask. Grandparents came to Sask in 1923 or 24
<mc> lol -- what class are you guys taking?
<possum> I don't have anyone from there so I don't know anything about gen research just history.
<flipper> is there really such a thing as a stupid question-----hope not or I'd have the award!!!!!
* chirho says this group is taking Practical Internet Genealogy
<possum> Think depending on where they were from there might be some pretty good records though
<Crill> There are a lot of town histories done in the last few years, around centennials - might even be something from Purves.
<mc> ah.. so it encompasses all aspects of the net?
<chirho> yep, mc
<possum> Especially if they came as late as 1900
<mc> cool!
<Crill> please, Mc! join the rest of us sq askers!
<possum> flipper
<flipper> yes...um.....
<possum> That is not a STUPID question
<mc> what's a "sq asker" ?
<chirho> be a sqasker, not a squasher! :)
<possum> Those are good questions
<Mugs> That is a good point Crill. I could probably write to the mayor of Purvis and see if they made up a book
<flipper> I knew that.....I saw mc whispering and just had to comment....but you have to admit, I have asked some ddooosssers
<chirho> ;)
<possum> Tat could be pretty interesting research flipper
<mc> lol sq = stupid questions -- LOL
<flipper> what? Stupid Questions? :)
<mc> : )
<chirho> right mc :)
<possum> No Austro Hungarians
<possum> and German Russians
<possum> :)
<Temp> leaving see ya later
*** Temp has quit IRC (Leaving)
<chirho> he leaves tooooo fawst!
<chirho> fasst
<chirho> fast!
* mc giggles :}}
<flipper> I know....I'm feeling better tonight so I'm being "catty" just have dh bring me another saucer of milk....
<chirho> heheheh
<possum> I always think the research is as fun or even more fun than actually finding them
<Mugs> Flipper I have some urls on Germans from Russia would you like them?
<possum> You learn all kinds of things along the way :)
<flipper> but you know possum.....if I did those topics, I'd get overwhelmed, and would have to cut out a few of my things and probably not get to meet with all YOU wonderful people ;)
<Crill> Might want to try Crystal City or Manitou, mugs. Don't think Purves would have any kind of Council.
<flipper> I'd love them Mugs
<possum> Then I think you should wait until later to start ion your other research flipper :)
<possum> After all we have a lifetime to search
<possum> If we find them right off, the fun will be over
<Crill> Hubby suggests Pilot Mound - some good historians there.
<chirho> but possum, it takes longer to get on back to Adam ;)
<mc> any of you guys part of my family... I've been searching everywhere for them!
<flipper> mugs, send them to [email protected]
*** RonC ([email protected]) has joined #Fian

<chirho> any ready to start coding?
<Crill> mugs, try this by snail mail: Nick Didkowski, Snowflake, Man. R0G 2K0 He is the municipal councillor for the Purves area, and knows it well.
<flipper> I caught your cyber flu this past week....all intentions for doing research went down the drain, chirho
<Irish> Not yet ready to start coding - but soon.
<possum> I think it is coming along and we have some newcomers tonight Irish and Crill :)
<Mugs> thats just wonderful Crill. thanks
<chirho> oooh, I'm sorry flipper. I did cover my mouth when I coughed...

*** Murph ([email protected]) has joined #Fian
<Crill> When Irish eyees are smiilllling . . . sure, tis like a morn in May . . .
<Irish> :)
<flipper> Since last Sunday's meeting, I've seen a LOT of messages out there re: Co. Antrim, listing web sites, etc.....I've saved a few of them if anyone needs some sites for Co, Antrim......who is doing this county for their topic
<MathAce> That's me, flp, but haven't really coordinated anything yet.
<possum> I know we have somebody on Atrim
<chirho> don't remember, but send the URL's, I'll add em to the nubbin page
<possum> Cause I member seeing it
<MathAce> There is quite a bit on the net, trying to organize how to handle.
<MathAce> I've got Antrim
<chirho> MathAce! Right. Did you find the nubbin?
<flipper> let me know if you want these addy's.....I've saved them when I've thought of it.....
<possum> Hey Canadians
<MathAce> send them along, flip, that would be great...already have about 40
<Crill> yah, possum?
<Mugs> yes
*** Murph has quit IRC (Leaving)
<possum> Did you know that Vickie L is thinking of starting up the Isish to Canada list again?
<MathAce> Yes, I sent a note that I would be interested.
<possum> Sorry Irish teehee
<MathAce> Ron, that should interest you.
<Irish> I contacted her about that. Have not received any info back yet.
<Mugs> No tell us more possum
* flipper whispers----boy, am I glad I'm keeping mine just to the "basics" of County Down history
<Crill> sounds good, possum. where?
<RonC> I replied withing minutes that I was go for that list..
<possum> I will email info out tomorrow so all you Canadians can write to Vickie!
<Mugs> is that quick ronc? hehehe
<possum> So she will know that ppl are interested
<Irish> Just checked - received this re the Irish/Canadian list: The Irish-Canada list will not be a mailing list. It will be a list. Here
<Irish> is part of the "What is the Irish-Canada List":
<Irish> "You and others can search the IRISH-CANADIAN LIST by surname, date, location
<Irish> in Ireland or Canada, and perhaps get a clue to further research.� In
<Irish> contributing to the list, you should be prepared to share your genealogical
<Irish> information with others.� Your address is given in the list so others can
<Irish> contact you directly."
<Irish> The Irish-Canada (probably will include Scottish as well) is for sharing
<Irish> information.
<Irish> Sorry - so long!
<Crill> tx, possum.
<flipper> addy, possum?
<dirk2> I'm chasing McKitricks in Co. Down, c- 1650 - 1850 (plantation from Scotland)
<possum> I will have to email the addy cause I don't have it to hand
<mc> are you guys making web pages of all the urls, etc that you are collecting
<Irish> Will be!
* flipper whispers to MA---I'll email some over to you sometime this week....not for a few days though
<possum> I guess Irish has left
<mc> : )
<chirho> mc, go to http://www.geocities.com/~fiannag/ and see what we do! :)
<Mugs> I look forward to that possum
<mc> k, i'll do that!
<Irish> I'm still here!
<flipper> :)
<possum> Well we are using we are collecting URLs
<possum> But we are also doing research
<possum> on our own
<possum> We did a link site first term
<possum> The guide is a little more complex
<chirho> link site http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/4404/
<possum> As I said we are writing "papers" to on subjects that interest us!!
<possum> As well as linking to compatible web sites
<possum> Go to the site chirho gave you
<possum> She has a great explanation of what we are doing
<flipper> example.....rather than putting a map of a site in and having "copyright" problems....find a map on the web that covers your topic and put a link in.
<possum> chirho is Marthe's original explanation of the Guide still up?
<chirho> Not that I know of. But Marthe is planning some revisions in the basic idea.
<dirk2> Would it be cricket to pass that site on to my Gen. Soc. Irish SIG.
<chirho> We'll be alright, just a matter of some recoding..
<chirho> OH YES :) Dirk
<dirk2> great
<chirho> The guide is an effort to draw together all sources and all other guides, and be usefule to both newbies and seasoned genealogists.
<chirho> fiannag site belongs to anyone in the group :) We can all promote it.
<chirho> because we're all making it.
<possum> k
<RonC> Thanks for letting me listen in, tight for time tonight...will stop back again if I may...
<chirho> ;) Ron
<chirho> glad to have you
<flipper> I'm always talking about it in the Ireland chat on Mondays....
<possum> We would be glad to have you Ron :)
<MathAce> G'night Ron.
<chirho> :) flipper
<dirk2> I think it is a wonderful tool for those interested in Irish research.
<Mugs> night RonC
* RonC fades slowly into the sunset....with an appreciative wave of the hat..
*** RonC ([email protected]) has left #Fian
<possum> flipper hla advertised Irish chat on gen Tips so maybe she will get more ppl
<possum> Gen-Tips is a big group
<flipper> she puts out addys about once a month
<Crill> gotta go. Night, all.
<chirho> maybe someone would get her to put fiannag site on her list?
<MathAce> my biggest problem is that I'm at work when the Irish chat is on.
<possum> I like it I will try to remember tomorrow
<Mugs> Good night Crill and thanks again eh
<chirho> Goodnight Crill, glad you came. :)
*** Crill ([email protected]) has left #Fian
<possum> If ther are no more questions I think we should adjourn so our
<flipper> I think we definitely need to get these chat sessions (ie. Ireland chat) and there times and locals in our Guide or the treehouse
<dirk2> 'nite crill
<Irish> MathAce - I am too - sometimes I am able to sneak into the chat!
<possum> Recuperating members can get some rest
<chirho> flipper, it's on the find.html page
<MathAce> I can't always get to the computer at 4pm....busy time.
<flipper> what about ALL the other wonderful genealogy chat sites
<possum> However, if our recovering members want to chat..:)
<chirho> If there's no more to log, I think I'll fade :)
<Mugs> Possum what about the Newbies Irc?
<possum> bye chirho

<Mugs> Take care Chirho
<flipper> I think I'll follow in your footsteps chirho

<possum> chirho might know
<Mugs> I volunteered to help out but ...
<possum> They were going to have it early in the term?
<dirk2> I'd like to see a list of all appropriate Chat site on Fianna-L or at least the ones that are considered the best
<Irish> Need to break up the usual Sunday night boy arguments! See you all soon! Hope you feel real better soon chirho :)
<flipper> Mugs, I sent out notes, not much response

<Crill> deja vue, flip.
<Mugs> Well you didn't get kicked out did you....hehhhe
*** Mugs sets mode: +o Crill
<Crill> what is this setting mode thing?

*** Joins: robyn1 ([email protected])
<Mugs> nothing bad...it just means you have some control over who is in the room
<flipper> so that if somebody with ops gets kicked out somebody already here can reops them

<echos> you have mine ...:)
<Peg> Yes, trying to consolidate that and a million other sites<G>
<flipper> Found out it's very humid and in July very seldom gets above 58 degrees, and in January very seldom gets below 40. It made me think about how the ancestors lived in the type of climate :) it's been really interesting....
<chirho> yes echos and Irish sent me their URL's :)
<chirho> flipper, that's cold!
<echos> I was there in Aug -very chilly
<flipper> but I think I'm going to save political for next time we work on project..

<possum> I think this Guide could become a looooong continuing project>
<chirho> :) :) :) I've asked for space on Rootsweb for it
<possum> Good

<Peg> Hard to carry the computer around :-)
<possum> You're rigth of course Peg
<echos> gotta look yet

<robyn> mind boggling isn't it
<chirho> Any questions or problems with the latest lesson (ethnic groups, etc)
<possum> flipper are you doing th homework this term?
<flipper> yes
* flipper whispers.....but not in #history, as I found I ran into time problems...
<flipper> why
<robyn> lol
<possum> I found some really neat German Russian stuff that I was going to send to you. I thought I just might as well paste them on the gen class bb too
<possum> But if that is waht you are doing I don't want to duplicate
<echos> I hope I will be able to post some stuff on the "Scotch/Irish of Ulster (undertakers
<flipper> sounds good...did I tell you, that for a VERY belated Xmas present...4 days b/4 Valentine's...I got a German-Russian Cookbook, with a bunch of Historical Society info in it?
<possum> There is a section on German emigrants to Russia in the Geman Research Guide published by the FLC
<possum> Yes you did!!
<possum> Sounds neat!!
<flipper> no, I'm not working on it for class.....it's for my own family lines
<possum> Really the family history guides are the biggest bargain going
<echos> And very comprehensive
<flipper> also Mugs sent me a bunch of addys....one for a university that's only 30 miles from me... :)
<possum> The ones on the countries are positively stuffed with useful info and only a dollar.
<echos> a must for a serious researcher
[MCW SOUND]
<possum> I just got done ordering some guides since our local center doesn't have very many of them.
<possum> The one on the householder's index is free!!!
<chirho> :)
<flipper> dh and I are trying to get our schedules squared away so I can get timed into FHC...schedule got crazy
<echos> Can you get in by appointment?
