Madison County Genealogical Society Newsletter
Available Digitally !!!
The latest edition of the Madison County
Genealogical Society Newsletter was recently emailed to all current members
of the Society. If you did not
receive a copy, it is probably due to one (or more) of the following:
1. You have not paid your current dues. In which
case, bringing your membership up to date will solve this.
2. We do not have an email address for you, or the
email address we have is incorrect.
Sending an email to rwridenour566@gmail.com will fix this
problem.
3. You do not have email. In that case, you can
download the Newsletter as shown below.
The Madison County Genealogical Society Newsletter
is no longer going to be a part of The Stalker.
The Newsletter can be accessed here to be read online or
downloaded to your computer to be printed.
Archaic Medical Terms
If you are having trouble determining what your
relative died from, you might want to consult http://www.thornber.net/medicine/html/medgloss.html
to see if a definition of the medical terminology is given.

Digital Scrapbooking
Several years ago, Lola DeGroff presented a program on Creating a Digital
Scrapbook.
Lola had a handout that leads you through the steps of creating a scrapbook
page and exporting it as a JPEG. It then leads the user through the steps of
uploading the pages and having the scrapbook printed. If you would like a
copy of this handout, it can be downloaded or printed here.
Troy Times-Tribune Looking for Information
On Thursday, May 31, 2012, the Troy Times-Tribune
ran an article under the title of Down Memory Lane. This article included a
photograph of The Blackjack Band. Only four out nine members of the band were
identified. If you know anyone who ever played in The Blackjack Band, perhaps
you can help identify the "unknowns." Click here
to see the article.
