alt: the papers mentioned that the 'stable owner' had sold William Adams wagon(s) and horses without the permission of the executor of the Will ... and he (exceutor) had his lawyers file a claim against the stable owner for lost property Daviss
Seventies: There should be a courtcase on that...
Selma: I better buy another laptop before they stop making em
Seventies: Selma, I know that's right.
Selma: Or maybe there is something in the newspaper alt
Daviss: lol Selma as fast as things change its possible
Seventies: My brother FINALLY brought my mom her laptop this weekend!
alt: I'm sure there is one Seventies...... just not sure I want to follow up on what might of happened.
Daviss: Do you have the stable owners name alt
Seventies: I saw some laptops now with a Terrabyte. I remember when you could only get that on a server! Times have changed!
alt: yes Daviss, he is named in the papers and the attorneys that were hired are also named.
Seventies: Selma, I am ready to get those Pre-Freedman's Bureau records M1914! I'm planning that as my first official trip of 2013. Awaiting my 64GB flashdrive.
Selma: Great project for 2013 seventies..should keep you might busy
Daviss: then there should be something on file after the date the excutor ordered it
alt: Khathu, do you have the final accounting for the Will and Probate case for your Dorsey ancestor?
Seventies: It will. I'm going donate the records to Ser Boxley or NAPAC. I'll be down in June/July as my brother will be getting married.

Daviss: what is NAPAC
Seventies: Natchez African American preservation ..blah blah blah... lol
Daviss: ok
Seventies: they are asking for donated records. They need additional docs and histories. Many of their docs and photos came from LSU's library
alt: good that you can help them out Seventies every little bit helps
Seventies: Yes, absolutely. They should be the center of AA history for Natchez and for the area... IMO
Daviss: do you have the equiptment to change the microfilm over to paper or are you donating the microfilm
Seventies: That's why I'm going to download onto the flash drive.. it should save as pdf or jpg. I need to verify this... If so, I will buy a cheap pack of flash drives and donate to the organization.
Selma: Thats what I did at the FHC seventies
Seventies: I see the Nat'l Archives has the same thing now. They even sell flash drives at College Park.
Selma: I wasn't doing a whole roll...but quite a number of images
alt: you donated flash drives or microfilm Selma .. or both?
Seventies: Selma, how large was your flash drive? 2gb's are pretty cheap these days.
Selma: I ordered the microfilm at FHC, took my flash drive and saved the images I wanted to the flash drive I had about a 2 or 4 GB
Seventies: okay did you fill it with your images, or had quite a bit of space remaining.
alt: ah so Selma, good thinking ... and you said you weren't techie saavy LOL LOL
Daviss: lol lol
Seventies: lol
Selma: The folks at the place told me that this was the best way to do it..they have one set up that allows you to do so They showed me how
alt: ah so Selma....
Seventies: It is the best way, who wants to carry a bunch of papers around... lol
Selma: I wasn't trying to copy the roll seventies..just doing some of this and that as examples..
Seventies: that's what I did with M1914...
Selma: I did half of the Alabama 1865 census...
Seventies: oh really?
Selma: Some bounty claims..for Alabama...FB report for some county in Mississippi
alt: You can get a whole lot of images in 2-4GB...... I mean a WHOLE LOT!!!!
Seventies: right alt. depending on the resolution...
Selma: I am over run by paper..so this is probably the way for me to go for somethings
Seventies: Was it Franklin, Amite, Adams or Wilkinson Co. Selma?? :}
Daviss: I wish the center here had that machine.....They have one only so I doubt if a person could consume a lot of time using it to copy a whole reel
Selma: Bolivar I think...
Seventies: Oh..
alt: hello HistoryBuff
Daviss: Hello HistoryBuff
Seventies: Nobody likes Adams Co. MS or Wilkinson Co. MS!
Selma: Afternoon History Buff..
Seventies: Hi HistoryBuff
HistoryBuff: Hey all What's shaking ?

Daviss: nothing here HistoryBuff
Seventies: Next weekend I'll be working with my cousin on her North Carolina family tree and getting her started on some basics.
HistoryBuff: Very nice, 70s.
Seventies: She's been bugging me for about 6 months on this. 
alt: Roots Magic has a feature "Roots Magi to-go" you can have your entire database on a 4 GB flashdrive and take it with you and load to someone else's computer... fantastic feature... it has the database and all of the 'software' to operate the RM application on the flash drive.
Seventies: now that things are settling in her home, all the kids are off to college, she can dedicate a little more time to doing things like this.
HistoryBuff: That's on my to-do list with my cousin in Virginia.

HistoryBuff: Good looking out, Alt.
alt: oh, well okay!!!! I guess
Selma: Hey the real gift is showing her how to USE it
Seventies: I want to give her the free stuff first. so she won't have any financial loss if she decides she doesn't want to continue on. absolutely Selma. Also that reminds me I need to send her a link to Afrigeneas beginners guide as an assignment to read before I go up this weekend.
alt: dunno Seventies, if you have notes & images the 29.00 investment is the way to go..
