Would you believe that the book of HALIFAX WILLS THAT I COPIED was one that I alredy had? GO FIGURE.
THE LIBRARY has several will books and i have to copy the one i already have, shame on me. I REALLY NEED TO UPDATE MY MASTER LIST. IT IS PIT A FUL.
OH WELL,
ON A MUCH HAPPIER NOTE I HAVE RECEIVED QUITE A FEW EXCELLENTLY WORDED REQUESTS. I DON'T THINK I'VE HAD THIS MANY INTELLIGENTLY WORDED REQUESTS SINCE I STARTED THE WEBSITE BACK IN 2002.
I Really Can't tell you how nice it is to get a request I can actually understand.
SOMEONE ACTUALLY WROTE:
ON YOUR WEBSITE XYZ ON PAGE ABC I FOUND MR. SMITH FROM THIS COUNTY AND I WOULD LIKE MORE INFO.
BOY Was I in shock! The person actually gave me a name, a website, a website page, date, type of rocord AND COUNTY.
I ALMOST FELL OFF MY CHAIR.
AND TO MY AMAZEMENT I HAVE ACTUALLY RECEIVED ABOUT 10 OF THOSE THIS WEEK! ISN'T THAT GREAT?
OK, I KNOW THIS IS GETTING ALITTLE MUCH. BUT IT WAS SO NICE NOT TO HAVE TO EMAIL BACK AND FORTH A HALF DOZEN TIMES TO FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PERSON WAS TALKING ABOUT.
OH AND A LOVELY LADY MADE A DONATION. YIPEE! I CAN GO TO THE LIBRARY AND HAVE SOME FUN....... ANYONE GOT A PARTICULAR COUNTY IN MIND? MARRIAGE OR DEATH RECORDS? LET ME KNOW.

I THINK I HAVE SAID THIS IN JUST ABOUT EVERY BLOG. I CAN'T HELP IT, THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CLUE.
4X YESTERDAY I RECEIVED REQUESTS. 2 FOR OBITS AND 2 FOR WILLS.
IN ALL 4 OF THE REQUEST, I GOT NAMES AND YEARS.
NO STATE, NO COUNTY, NO MENTION OF WHICH WEBSITE THEY FOUND THIS ON OR IF THEY FOUND IT ON A WEBSITE. I HAVE 3 WEBSITES.
AND I COVER 2 STATES. NEW YORK AND VIRGINIA
FOR A WHILE IT WAS GOING VERY NICELY ON THE NORFOLK WEBSITE, I WAS GETTING WHAT I ASKED FOR "ON YOUR NORFOLK COUNTY WEBSITE WILLS PAGE XYZ, I FOUND ABC AND WOULD LIKE MORE INFO" AND LOTS OF PEOPLE FOLLOWED INSTRUCTIONS, NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN, NO ONE IS FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
WE SHALL SEE WHAT HAPPENS, I WROTE ALL 4 BACK WITH THE SAME QUESTIONS, STATE? COUNTY?
RARELY DO I GET A RESPONSE. DO I HURT THEIR FEELINGS? I'VE SAID THIS BEFORE, I CAN'T HELP YOU IF I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
IS ANYONE WATCHING THAT NEW TV SERIES BLADE?
STARGATE AND STARGATE ATLANTIS RETURNS TOMORROW!

A FEW ITEMS TODAY:
WENT TO SEE SUPERMAN RETURNS SAT. IT WAS REALLY GOOD.
A FEW SURPRISES. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL.
2ND WENT TO THE LIBRARY TODAY, HAD TWO LOOKUPS, 1 FOR CIVIL WAR AND ONE FOR 7 OBITS. ACTUALLY FOUND 5 OUT OF THE 7 OBITS.
AND COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT LOOKING INTO INFO FOR HALIFAX.
PURCHASED TWO NEW BOOKS TODAY TO CHEER MYSELF UP.
IF YOU READ LAST MONTHS BLOG, YOU WOULD KNOW THAT I WAS TRYING TO SAVE UP SOME MONEY TO GO TO MY BEST FRIENDS WEDDING AND THAT WE ENDED UP NOT GOING DUE TO FINANCIAL CONCERNS. I NEEDED TO CHEER MYSELF UP BECAUSE MY FRIEND CALLED ME LAST NIGHT TO LET ME KNOW SHE UNDERSTOOD WHY I COULD NOT COME. AND THAT SHE LIKED THE GIFT I SENT HER.

HELLO EVERYONE!
WELCOME TO A NEW MONTH! A VERY HOT MONTH! IT'S GOING TO OVER 90+ WITH HEAT INDEX'S IN THE LOW 100'S THIS WEEK.
JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAY.
JUNE'S BLOG CAN BE SEEN ON THE JUNE BLOG PAGE, CLICK ABOVE.
ADDED SOME STAFFORD,WARREN & ORANGE COUNTY MARRIAGES TO
THE WEBSITE.
MY VENT FOR THE DAY.
SOMEONE EMAILED ME YESTERDAY REQUEST I SEND THEM THE FAMILY TREE FOR "SMITH".
DIDN'T BOTHER TO GIVE STATE,COUNTY, YEARS OR NAMES OR ANYTHING, JUST WANTED THE FAMILY HISTORY FOR XYZ. OH WAIT MY MISTAKE, HE DID GIVE COUNTY. BUT NO YEARS OR NAMES EITHER.
SO NOT WANTING TO BE RUDE AND SAY "HOW IN THE WORLD AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOUR PERSONAL FAMILY TREE?"
SO I HELD MY TONGUE OR FINGERS DEPENDING ON YOUR POINT OF VIEW AND EMAILED HIM A LIST OF COUNTY SITES. AND WISHED HIM LUCK.
LATER.
