The year is quickly drawing to a close. For many of us, the time we would normally dedicate to genealogical work and research will now go to fall sports, school activities and holiday commitments. It could be possible to mix some of these activities and still get a little genealogical work accom­ plished, especially when it comes to your holiday activities. The following ;s iust a few of the ideas that I have heard of.

Write letters to those distant cousins wishing them a Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Hanukkah or Merry Christmas. When you do, slip in a genealogical question. You will very likely get an answer this time of the year. When you make out your Holiday Wish List, you might include a genealogical title or two, or a new computer program that you want. I place small, framed photos of my ancestors on the Christmas tree. This provides a great oppor­ tunlly to talk about our ancestors to your family. I am sure there are other Ideas out there that will allow you to merge your hobby and your holidays; iust use your imagination.

The 1995 AGS Fall Seminar was held October 6 and 7. James and Paula Warren were great and everyone who attended said it was a great seminar. Vice President Ed Sanders did a great job with the arrangements and has announced to the Board that plans are already in the works for our 1996 seminar. As a reminder, now is the time to plan your 1996 educational trips. There are some really incredible seminars planned for next year. Try to make at least one.

I would /ike to close this page by encouraging you to be an active part of Arkansas Genealogical Society. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please let myself or one of the other Board members know. We are here to serve the society. But we can't read your mind. Also, please submit arti­ cles for the Arkansas Family Historian. We are always looking for good material to publish in your Journal.

Thanks for allowing me to serve you. I hope we have another great year!

______Arkansas Family Historian ~ Page 185 Query Data From The Arkansas Family Historian, 1962-1992:----

From the Arkansas Historical and Genealogical Magazine, Vol. VII, No.6

The biggest query book ever by Lewis E. Roberts of Kirkland, Washington, has compiled a mega-query book gleaned from past Issues of Arkansas Genealogical Society's The Arkansas Family Historian, 1962 through 1992. Seven pounds of queries!

Lew is a retired rocket scientist with a supernatural gift for data management. Two years ago, he combed all the AFH back issues and pulled all the cemetery Inscriptions Into Cemetery Inscriptions Published in 30 Years of the Arkansas Family Historian. During that project, he was struck with the amount of information in queries buried in those back issues. "Half the submitters are probably dead," we said discouragingly, "of what use are the queries?"

Well, Lew pointed out, once assembled into manageable data, there's a tremendous amount of good information, even without contacting the people who contributed the Information. He was right. Lew input neariy 48.500 items, including the name of the query subject, an event (born, married, resided, or died), a date, the location, the submitter's name,and the AFH issue in which the query appeared. (Back issues of the AFH are available on inexpensive microfiche.)

Then he went beyond the query information and compiled a list of submitters (in the event they actually weren't dead). Including the last year their names appeared in AGS records.

The book is 936 pages--truly seven pounds to mall. The price is $59.50 postpaid, and is available from Arkansas Genealogical Society, P. O. Box 90S, Hot Springs, AR 71902.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work the house And Iilled all the stockings (Ileit like a Jerk') Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse; Here was Santa, who'd brought such gladness and joy, The dining room tabie with clutter was spread When I'd been to busy for even one toy. With pedigree charts and with letters which said, He spied my research on the table all spread: "Too bad about the data for which you wrote. "A Genealogist!", he cried. (Did my lace tum red!

Stacks of old copies of wills and such As he pulled from his sack a large book he'd penned; Were proof that my work had become 100 much I gazed with amazement - the cover it read: Our children were nestled, all snug In their beds GENEALOGY LINES FOR WHICH YOU HAVE While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads; PLED And 1at my table was ready to drop "I know what it's like, as a genealogy bug," From work on my album, with pictures to crop. he said as he gave me a great Santa hug. Christmas was here, and of such was my lot, That presents and goodies and toys I'd lorgot! While the elves make the sleighful of toys I now carry, Had I not been so busy with grandparents wills, I do some research in the North Pole Library. I'd not have lorgotten to shop for such thrills. A speCial treat I am thus able to bring While others had bought gifts that would bring To genealogy folks who can't find a Ihlng.

As I climbed up the stairs, full of gladness and glee, While I was thus musing about my sad plight, I looked back al Santa who'd brought much to me; A strange noise on the lawn gave me such a fright! WhHe settling in bed, I heard Santa's clear whistle Away to the window I flew in a flash, To his team, which then rose like the down of a thistle Tore open the drapes and yanked at the sash, And I heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight When what to my wondering eyes should appear, Family history is fun! Merry Christmas and Good But an overstuffed sleigh and eight small reindeer. Night!"

As I drew in my head, and bumped it on the sash, Down the cold chimney fell Santa -- KER·RASH! Dear Santa had come from the roof in a wreck And tracked soot on the carpet (I could wring his short neck!) Spotting my face, good old Santa could see I had no Christmas spirit, you'd have to agree
