Mixed Media Books: Authors who have opted for a traditionally printed book should not overlook the possibility of including additional material on CD with their books. This can be done totally separately or with an envelope (or spindle) affixed to the book itself (generally inside the back cover). The author can include files of anything that was “cut” from the book, more reference, further stories & details, links to favorite places, artwork, GEDCOM, etc.

working with templates in Word (see also V5#5 and #11)
Do you have correspondence that is often times similar? Are you working on reports or a book? If so, making template files can save you a lot of time. But what about updates? Instead of typing in the dates every time, set the template for this year, or even this month. At the end of that time, update the template and save it as a different name such as “coverletter1-09″ instead of coverletter. Once this is done, go into the template area and clean up – right click the old file and choose delete. Sorry, templates won’t let you save over the same file name, nor will they allow for a rename from the right click/shortcut menu – at least in XP and older versions.

Pre-1946 Military Personnel Files Made Public
The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) in St. Louis announced the release of all pre-1946 official military personnel files to researchers.
Documents found in a typical personnel file include assignments, evaluations, awards and decorations, training, demographic information, limited medical information and disciplinary actions. Some files contain the soldier’s photograph.
To request a copy of a file, submit standard form 180 to NPRC, 9700 Page Ave., St. Louis, MO 63132. The veteran or next-of-kin of a deceased veteran may use eVetRecs at www.archives.gov.veterans/evetrecs.index.html.
Copies of the personnel files are $15 for 5 pages or less and $50.00 for over 6 pages. Most files contain over 6 pages. Files of “persons of exceptional prominence” are $.75 per page.
Files may be viewed at the NPRC Archival Research Room in St. Louis. The research room is open Tues-Fri, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Call 314-801-0850 for a reservation.
Additional information concerning the opening of these records is found in the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) press release at http://www.archives.gov/press/press-releases/2008/nr08-14.html.
The National Personnel Records Center is the repository for the 20th century service records. The files consist of personnel, health and medical records of discharged and deceased solders from all the services. The repository holds over 57 million individual files. Every year additional records will be released for public use.
Pre-World War I military records are available from the National Archives in Washington DC. For further information, visit the NARA webpage at http://www.archives.gov/genealogy/military.
This information was taken from Paul Follett’s column Tree Tracers published in the Lawton Constitution on November 5, 2007.
