DEATHS

Rosa Ethyl Blincoe Hamilton, Liberal MO

KINDRED SPIRITS

Dad often corresponded with persons bearing our name, so he could plot them onto his genealogy master chart. One year he obtained the address of an attorney who had our surname. Dad wrote him, asking him to supply facts concerning his family's migration.

He received the following reply: "Dear Sir, Your name may be the same as mine, but where I, or any of my family, come from is none of your blankety-blank business!"

My Dad responded: "Dear Sir, Yep, you are indeed a Blincoe."

After that they corresponded frequently, and Dad added him and his family to the master chart

COMPUTER TALK

I am using the "Family Roots" Genealogy Program from Quinsept, I have an IBM clone with 20M hard disk and two floppy drives. For condensed charts such as these, I have to print to disk then edit it with Wordstar in order to eliminate extra lines and spaces, The Family Roots program is in user programable "fill in the blanks" format with all pertinent dates, place, marriages, and children. Input can be shuffled and output in many different forms.
