The Rawlin(g)s Rollin(g)s
Family History Association
Volume 4 No.2 June 1991
Dear Cousins all:
The
response to the subscription renewal has been good with 110 returning to the
fold, and 11 new members. The renewals aren't as numerous as I would hope and I
trust their failure to do so is caused by forgetfulness and not by any
unhappiness with the newsletter.
As I mentioned
in the January issue I would contact Mr. Eldon Davis concerning the possibility
there were soldiers surnamed RAWLIN(G)S or ROLLIN(G)S who served in the wars
against the indians pro-Civil War in our nation's West. Perhaps we will be
fortunate and not have any of our "cousins" engaging in that activity
other than the one who died at the Battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876. (see
P.10) To this date I have not received an answer to my inquiry. Will let you
know next time.
Some news of interest to those of you who require information from the National Archives: as of March 1st, a new fee schedule has been put into effect, as follows: Electrostatic copies made for a researcher by a staff member have been reduced from 35¢ each to 25¢ each.
