Those of you who couldn't come to the AGS Fall Seminar in Fort Smith really missed someth ing special. It was one of the largest groups in recent memory -- about 130 people. There were folks from about everywhere, including many from Oklahoma, Missouri, Texas, Louisiana, and of course Arkansas. Everyone seemed to especially enjoy the variety of book vendors. I know I spent more than I had budgeted; there were just too many wonderful books and pro d ucts to resist. Fort Smith Mayor Ray Baker proclaimed the weekend "Arkansas Genealogical Society Days" and presented official certificates to that effect. He also presented me and several others with "Official Pardons", saving us from hanging by our necks until dead, as long as we remained within the limits of Old Fort Smith! Frontier Researchers hosted a well-attended reception Friday night at the Fort Smith Public Library. As a special treat, the genealogy library was opened that evening for the use of the attendees. But the best part of the weekend was the stimulating and information presentation by our speaker, Sharron Standifer Ashton, F.N.G.S., of Norman, Oklahoma. She spoke on Indian Territory pioneers, the Lyman C. Draper Papers, and how to do Indian research. Those of you who could not attend really missed a great seminar and I hope you'll make plans now to attend next year's event. The plans are not finalized, but it will be held in the Little Rock area toward the end of October. For those of you who live too far away to attend, I hope you'll make plans to attend a seminar or workshop in your area; you'll come away recharged and excited about tackling your research in a new way. I want to remind everyone about our latest project -- the Arkansas Resource Directory (see the September 1991 issue of the quarterly for full details). There is NO CHARGE to participate and everyone with publications or services pertaining to Arkansas research is solicited to par ticipate. What you gain from participation is free advertising; what everyone gains from the publication is a handy reference to Arkansas research resources. We hope genealogical and historical societies will participate also. Out-of-state researchers are often unaware of societies in the areas of their research, and this will be a great source for that type information. It's a good way to increase your membership and advertise your publications for free.
If you wish to participate, write AGS, P.O. Box 908, Hot Springs, AR 71902-0908 for sub mission forms. Your "ad" in the Resource Directory will be composed using the information on your submission form. Hurry! Deadline for submissions is 31 January 1992. You do NOT have to be an AGS member to participate. The directory will be published in early spring, 1992, and, as a service to our members, will be sold for a price just above the cost of produc tion. If successful, it will be updated each year. We hope this directory will become the one stop information center for researchers interested in Arkansas.
Don't forget to renew for 1991. You won't want to miss a thing! (We're mailing renewal notices in December this year in an attempt to encourage renewal by the first of the year. Help us by sending your renewal as soon as you receive your notice.)

During his last assignment at the Pentagon he retired on Dec. 31, 1960, after 20 years service in the Army. He lived one year in Mineola, Texas, and moved to North Little Rock, AR, in 1962. After 25 years in real estate he retired in 1987 and has been able to devote more ti me to genealogy. He has worked as a volunteer at the Arkansas History Commission.

Page 160 ~ Volume 29, Number 4 - December ______Certificates of Arkansas Ancestry Report
By Desmond Walls Allen
Our certificate program which recognizes descendants of early Arkansas residents continues to be a success! The following people have received certiticates since our report in the September Arkansas Family Historian. Certificates are issued in three categories: Territorial - a resident of Arkansas before 15 June 1836; Antebellum - a resident of Arkansas before 6 May 1861; and Nineteenth Century - a resident of Arkansas before 31 December 1900. Applicants must complete an application booklet which requests information in three areas: lineage from the applicant to the ancestor; a family group sheet for the ancestor; and a proof document that the ancestor resided in Arkan sas. We know it isn't possible to record a date and place for every event in every ancestor's life. The booklet does not have to have every bJank filled in - it just needs to show as much information as possible about the lineage and family. The application booklet contains more information about applying for the certificate. Booklets (which can be photocopied for multiple submissions) are available from me, Desmond Walls Allen, Certificate Chairman, 99 La wrence Landing Road, Conway, AR 72032. The application booklets are free, but those re questing them are asked to send 52 cents in stamps for the postage required to mail the book let. When the completed booklet is submitted, a ten dollar certificate fee should be sent with it. Some of the most often asked questions about the application booklets are about how to document the information and what constitutes proof of residency. Unlike lineage society applications which require a proof document for each birth, marriage, and death, the Arkansas certificate requirement is just that each source be listed in the booklet. The only document copy required is some proof the ancestor lived in Arkansas. Census, tax, military, pension, deeds, patents, marriage, court records, and others are acceptable proof. Questions about the certificate process should be directed to me at the above address. This certificate program is our way of acknowledging descendants of our Arkansas founders. It's your way of obtaining recognition for your research efforts. In the future, we hope the certificate program will be a way of sharing information through publication of the material and possibly placing copies of the material in a public library for patron use. For now, howev er, we are publishing the names and addresses of those who have been issued certificates along with the name, county, and date of residency for the ancestor. We hope this will promote a sharing of research information.
