Squawkkkkkkkkkkkking!

Squawking! My home computer didn't boot up Sunday morning and I had to take it in to the "hospital".

Gave very specific instructions... COPY everything on that particular drive to an external portable hard drive I supplied before the tech can do anything else.

Guess what he did? He did backup but he did NOT "copy". Gone are the settings for my emails, gone are the programs, gone are the emails themselves containing hundreds of sources for research and information. Gone are (gasp!) business emails not answered between Nov 1 and 5. He reformatted. He never made mistakes before until now and I've had him for last 15 years.

It will take me some efforts to repair and recover some stuff. Some are quick but not others.

Will have to use webmail until my email program is completely restored.

Incoming Changes

Effective November 1 and the completion will be January 1

1. No paper copy for all types of records except Wills, effective immediately

2. Wills paper copy will cease January 1.

Cost adjustment will begin November 1 and completion on January 1, 2012

The objective is to end the dependency on paper copy for good. I already allowed 2 years grace period for the changeover.

There is no logic to having paper copies anymore since so much are being digitalized. Not only that, the digital copies are frequently of higher quality than paper copy when they are from SAMPUBCO.

For more reading about going paperless. Dick Eastman wrote an article about this.

Now I see SAMPUBCO had been voted again as one of best State Websites by Family Tree Magazine. It was the voters who thought so.

Now what's added to the SAMPUBCO :


52 volumes of indexes were added since Aug 8, 2011. States - New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Illinois and North Carolina.

Soon to add, more from North Carolina, New York and Kentucky within few days.
