=== FIXED: Error Generating Reports ======================

 

Some users have reported encountering an error with TMG v7 when generating a report to a word processor format. The error that was generated was:

Could not create or open CONV_LOG.TXT on scratch drive.

or

Cannot find c:\Program Files\The Master Genealogist 7\Wordproc\wpt.sp1

or something similar.

 

Phil in Technical Support has been working with Jim Byram and a number of other users and has identified the cause of such errors. It seems that external programs will sometimes modify a critical entry in the Windows Registry upon which TMG relies. Users who have encountered this message are encouraged to write to phild@whollygenes.com for help in resolving this problem.

 

Note that this error is not connected to the known problem generating reports under the 64-bit version of the Vista operating system.

=== New Data CDs from the U.S. ========================

 

This following searchable data CDs from Archive CD Books USA are now available from WhollyGenes.com:

 

William B. Martin, AN INDEX TO THE VIRGINIA REPORTS FROM JEFFERSON TO 33RD GRATTAN, BOTH INCLUSIVE WITH A COMPLETE TABLE OF CASES, (1881) 2009.

$19.95 ($15.96 during the Spring Sale!) http://www.WhollyGenes.com/find_wg.mvc?ref...WS&p=US0386

An understanding of the law concerning a given event, whether it is inheritance, ownership of property, legitimacy of offspring or citizenship, is often necessary to correctly interpret the information in a document. Determining what law was in effect can be a difficult task, determining how a particular law should be interpreted and applied an even more difficult task. Legislation by governing bodies establishes the law, but it is interpreted in the courts. Case law as described in the Virginia Law Reports explains how a law should be applied under specific conditions. Finding these descriptions can be difficult and usually requires, at the very least, a trip to a major law library and access to historical index databases. (more...)

 

OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY BULLETIN: ALUMNI AND FORMER STUDENT REGISTER (1878-1912), (1912) 2009.

The loss of the 1890 census has created a road block in the work of many researchers. City directories are helpful in overcoming this loss. Another, and often overlooked source, is university and college alumni directories. In November 1912, Ohio University published this third edition of its triennial Alumni Register. According to the introduction, although the teaching staff was omitted was this issue, it was expanded to include an alphabetical and geographical list of former students. (more...)

$12.95 ($10.36 during the Spring Sale!) http://www.WhollyGenes.com/find_wg.mvc?ref...WS&p=US0619

Billed as a history of inns and taverns, this treatise is much broader in scope, presenting information from a variety of sources on travel along major thoroughfares, on early stage and postal routes, modes of transportation, as well as the roads and taverns. Detailed, graphic descriptions of methods of travel, the accommodations from food to furniture, fellow travelers, and innkeepers are drawn from numerous diaries, travelogues and local histories and it is the reference to these that many researchers will find of most value.
