Copyright © March, 1984 Dallas Genealogical Society Dallas, Texas This month our quarterly changes its name from "THE QUARTERLY ," as it has been known in the past to "THE DALLAS QUARTERLY." While this wil 1 necessitate changes in library ca ta loging, (we' 11 now be found under the letter "D" rather than under the letter "Q"), it wil 1 by the same token prevent us from being omitted in listings of quarterlies, as it has been noted we have been omitted in the past. When you find listings of the quarterlies of Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Omaha, etc., how do you index for iden tification "The Quarterly"? Each genealogical society throughout the nation and elsewhere have A quarter ly, so if we were listed as THE QUARTERLY, the title lacked identifi- cation. Now we are identified! I believe you should all share the letter received this month from our member Margaret McKamy Colwel 1. She writes: "I enjoyed the December issue of The Quarterly, and especial ly the article on White Rock Camp Meeting. My par ents told so many stories of those camp meetings. I wonder how many members of the Society find their ancestors listed as campers. w. T. (Thomas) McKamy was my grandfather." She continues: "You will find a picture of the taber- nacle on Page 474 of Elm Fork Settlements: Farmers Branch and Carrol l ton by GeorgiaMyers Og le. Mrs. Willie Charlotte (Jackson) Good supplied the picture. The Jackson family attended the camp meetings, and Mrs. Good can give some good first hand information . .. 11 With this month' s issue, we continue our publication of the records of the White Rock Camp Ground Meetings, and know our members and readers wil 1 al 1 agree that this is an important record of early Dallas in its formative years, naming names of those who were important to its formation. This month we are starting to carry Dal las County Deed Book "A", careful ly copied fro" the Courthouse records by membersof our Society. Having worked at length with these detail ed records, I feel that each issue in which they are published should carry a ROLL OF HONOR giving the names of those whose records are used. Our ROLL OF HONOR for this issue is as fol lows: Pat Schrader, Erie H. Bol ding, Clytes Cullar, Gwen Neumann, Martha Vermillion and Bet ty Lovejoy. You people have done a wonderful work in abstract ing this information so that it can be published. The list should also include, of course, Renee Smith, who originated the form used by the work team at the Courthouse. The Dal las Genealogical Society can surely feel a sense of pride in those members who have given of their own time and efforts to make such information available for future genealogical researchers. DO PLAN TO ATTEND THE DGS WORKSHOP IN MAY, ABOUT WHICH YOU 'LL RECEIVE MORE INFORMATION IN YOUR DGS NEWSLETTER. Best wishes for good research !
