Physicians and relatives disagree on what would be the cause of death, most probably related to drugs, alcohol and the stress caused by over 100 shows during her last CD's promotional tour. After her appearance in Rock in Rio. she recorded Acustico MTV, which had sold in excess of 400,000 copies before her death. Cassia has left an 8-year-old son. Chicao. THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVU. Issue 3 Page 21 Daughter of an army officer, Cassia was born in Rio de Janeiro, but grew up in different cities due to her father's assignments. She chose to be a singcr at age 14, when someone gave her a guitar. Later on. in Brasilia (State Capital), she would sing with choirs and trios eletricos (trucks specially remodeled to accommodate a live band. created in Bahia. in the 70s. for Carnival purposes). and trained classical singing, In 1989 she headed to Sao Paulo, passing around a demo tape of the song "Por Enquanro". by Renato Russo. She signed to Polygram and released her first LP. "Cassia Eller". in 1990. Besides "Por Enquanto", the album featured "Eleanor Rigby". (Beatles), and "0 Dedo de Deus". (Arrigo Barnabe and Mario Manga). Eller played a series of shows with Argentinean guitarist Victor Biglione, presenting a blues repertoire that would spread her name as a blues and rock vocalist. The second album, "0 Marginal", came two years later, consolidating her voice's deep, low timbre on the market. Among the tracks, two Jimi lIendrix songs ("If Six Was Nine" and "Hear My Train A C omin ' ") and compositions by ltarnar Assuncao, Luiz Melodia and others. In 1994, the album "Cassia Eller" combined Brazilian rock classics with versions of samba (Ataulfo Alves) and popular Brazilian music (Djavan). lIer next CD, "Veneno AntiMonotonia" (1997). was dedicated to the work of Cazuza. and followed by "Com Voce.. Meu Mundo Ficaria Complete" (1999), which featured the hit "0 Segundo Sol".

I will NOT automatically take whatever is posted to the list without permission. If you post something to the list that I think the web page would benefit from, I WILL contact you privately and ask for permission. Basically, what I was trying to get across in the original email is that if you want me to go ahead and put your census info that you submitted on the web page, you should email to let me know the missing information, but also, this is just good practice to use genera Ily speaking, not just for the list, but for anything, also cite your full sources. As for the census, include AL L information from the census in the, including the state, county, town, and page. Many posts lately have left me to wonder what state or what county the information is coming from. A question has been very valid question has been raised about whether this is against Rootsweb policy. I will check into this, but honestly 1 doubt it. The 3 main reasons I think this: I. I'm getting permission from the sender 2. This is public domain information 3. The information is staying on Rootsweb, as my web page is on Rootsweb. Genealogy Exchange Like I said. I will contact them to find out, and if it is against policy, I will take that information off (only about 5 files).

The main page as well as the main page for each surname has been updated and broken links fixed. I know the message board links were all broken and that is because Rootsweh decided to do away with them a fter their partnership with ancestry.com and now they are all on ancestry. I have changed all those links and for surnames were I know multiple spellings and there are boards for those spellings, I added them to the boards (KERN and 11UPP lists, this applies to you!). I am working on the rest of the pages, mostly working on tabulating all the census information to make it easier to read. and that should be done for all the surnames by the end of the week. Keep sending me your census data to add to the pages! I would love to have a complete listing for each surname in every state. Right now. a Il the surname main pages have 2 links at the top for census data. the first link is just for the I 790 census for all states (COVENTRY listers. I'm still putting on the info. it's not complete yeti) and the second link is to a II other census years. This second link takes you to a page listing all 52 states with a link for each state that has Genealogy Exchange census data. At this point, there are only a few states that have links for every surname, about 2 or 3 states on average. KERN listers, I'm in the process of rearranging your census data currently on my website to fit this formation. right now it's all on one page. but that will change. The other main change I'm working on is making the pages easier to read. This includes: bold text to make it stand out against the background. and in some cases. bigger font size. Also, you may notice on the bulleted lists that there is a period at the end of each line. This has nothing to do with grammar, but rather, as suggested by a fellow lister, this is done to make easier to read for text to speech programs for the visually impaired. If you have any other suggestions for making the site more "user friendly", drop me a line' Also, I am thinking of having an "unidentified persons" page of photos where people are trying to find out who they are. I f you have some that fit this category, please send them to me (in.jpg or.gif format) with as much info as possible that you know (like where the picture was taken if known, approximate year, etc.) and we can try to find out who all our photos are of. Once I'm done with the rest of the work, I plan to start working on that and getting those photos up. Last thing, like I said earlier. someone questioned whether it was aga inst policy of Rootsweb to take information that had been posted to the list and put it on my web page. As I said I would, I contacted Rootsweb and they said there is absolutely nothing wrong with doing this so long as I get permission from the original poster (which I do anyway). Just want to put that out for those who are curious.

(usua lIy by states). I've been using this for a few day now and it's great' (my screen name is cabradfo) There are a few *bugs*. but realize this is a new chat room so be patient. For those not aware of the changes going on AOL with the genealogy forum right now. here is a brief rundown based on my understanding (this is not any sort of official announcement or anything). The genealogy forum. owned by George (don't know his surname) no longer exists on AOL as it was. The message boards, etc. have or will be taken down and there is only I chat room now, which you can only access through the "Parenting" channel. Many genealogists are leaving AOL in droves b/c of these changes (including mel). Now that there are chats online without going through AOL, there is no need for me to stay there. I still have AIM (screen name eabradfo) that people can contact mc with, and of course this address will stay the same, no change there. For those of you who have contacted me through AOL in the past. please begin to use this address now for all email communication. Check out the rooms and make some more connections. The Genealogy Forum owned by George is now owned by Parenting. ALL the chat rooms arc accessible THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII, Issue 3 Page 40 through Keyword: Genealogy Share Stories and Resources Chats Tab. Parent ing has offered genealogy hosting positions to ALL the former hosts and is in the process of interviewing them now. I know that for a fact because I have an interview scheduled for today and I know of at least one host who has already gotten an "acceptance" email. ALL the former chat rooms are up and available for chatters but not hosted yet. Soon they Will be. In the meantime. chatters can go to those rooms and chat with each other about their research. and new discoveries or whatever. I just needed to clear up some of the erroneous information provided by Erin!' George Michael Eller and his Descendants in America DON'T MISS OUT! Only a few copies remain of George Michael Eller and Descendants of His in America, by James William Hook, a son of Virginia Eller Hook and grandson of Harvey Eller, who left Wilkes County, NC in 1852 in a covered wagon with his wife and 8 children. This 4X5-rage book, containing the very first extensive Eller genealogies, was published in 1925 and 1957. Although this 1957 book does not contain recent material, it is a great source of information, and is considered a collectable since no more will be printed. In fact. the initial copies were soon sold out. and the Eller Family Association did a reprint of this book. What a great addition to the library -- something you will want to pass down to your descendants' The price is $40.00, including shipping, while quantities last.

Badger, Associated Press Web Posted: 08/04/2003 10:02 AM BURNET - A self-proclaimed witch in the eastern Hill Country is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region. Margie Allen, who practices the pagan religion Wicca, also charges that the Llano County sheriff's office refused to respond to her complaints and that Rev. Joann Jackson had organized an aggressive effort to force her out of the area. The charges have attracted the attention of the FBI, which says it will investigate the claims by Allen, a consignment shop owner, as a possible civil rights case. Maeven Eller leads a pagan circle Sunday in Burnet. Dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out to support Margie Allen, a self-proclaimed witch who is accusing a Christian pastor of leading a harassment campaign aimed at ruining her business and driving her out of the region. Deborah Cannon/Austin American-Statesman Allen says Jackson, her former landlord in Kingsland, ended her lease because of her faith, and that the pastor persuaded another Kingsland property owner to abruptly pullout of a lease deal while Allen was moving in. "They think I'm satanic," said Allen, a Wiccan for the past six years. "We're dealing with very unintelligent people." Allen later moved her Magick Garden shop to Burnet, about 20 miles away. But she says relocating didn't end the harassment by people who would gather maliciously outside. "They'd wait until I was full of customers and then one of them would come into the store and say, 'Weren't you run out of Kingsland because you're satanic,'" she said. "Needless to say, that's not good for business." She also says people would occasionally follow her from the store to her home and would feign trying to run her off the road. "It was intended to antagonize and to frighten," Allen said, "and it did." Jackson, pastor of the Calvary Hill Church in Kingsland, denies that she's responsible for any hostility directed at Allen. "She's tracing in the wrong direction," she said after presiding over the Sunday service at her church. "We've never had any cross words." Allen's beliefs had nothing to do with her decision to end the lease, Jackson said. Rather, her husband's death last fall prompted her to sell the building, so she wanted it empty. On Sunday, however, the building in question had "For Lease" signs in its windows. But Jackson insisted Allen's faith was not a factor in her decision as a landlord. "I have no problem with her at all," she said, adding that Allen was a fine tenant for more than three years. "She's entitled to believe whatever she wants to believe." THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII, Issue 3 Page 48 Wicca is an ancient, nature-worshipping religion that its practitioners also refer to as "witchcraft." But they say many of the images associated with the word witch are misguided when applied to her faith. "It is not negative," said Allen. "It is not evil. It is not satanic." Along with old clocks and dish sets, the Magick Garden _ in a converted ranch-style house near downtown Burnet _ features incense sticks, crystals and herbs for healing, massage oils, and potpourri cachets. Its inventory also includes a few Gideon Bibles, various Christian religious tracts and a statuette of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Her daughter Lindsay, also a Wiccan, tried without success to file a harassment complaint with the Llano County sheriff's office. A deputy visited while the store was still in Kingsland, Allen said, and boasted that another Wiccan family had once lived in the county, "but we ran them out of town." Llano County Sheriff Nathan Garrett said Sunday that he has had no contact with Allen, though it was his understanding that Allen's religion may have had something to do with why she had trouble finding a place to lease. He said his recollection was that "one landlord of a different faith wanted her to move out," though he said he knew little about the case. Garrett said one of his deputies went to Allen's shop to talk to her, but that no complaint was lodged. On Sunday, dozens of Wiccans and other pagans turned out at the Magick Garden to support Allen. "Her rights are so obviously being trampled on:' said Maeven Eller, a Wiccan who heads Betwixt & Between, a Dallas-based group that advocates religious toleration. "It feels like we're 100 years in the past here." Rene Salinas, a spokesman for the FBI in San Antonio, says because Wicca is a federally recognized religion, the agency is launching a preliminary investigation of possible civil rights violations. If enough evidence emerges from the initial probe, a more in-depth investigation would follow, Salinas said. 08/04/2003 From the San Antonio Express News THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVll. Issue 3 Page 49 - __ .....- - ,_ _r - - ~~_-_ REPORT EIGHTH BIENNIAL CONFERENCE JULY 9-13, 2003 FIELDSTONE INN HIAWASSEE, GEORGIA JULIA ELLER The eighth biennial conference of the Eller Family Association was held at the Fieldstone Inn in Hiawassee, Georgia July 9-13,2003. The town and inn are on the shores of Lake Chatuge, on the Hiawassee River, in the picturesque southern Blue Ridge mountains. Many of the attendees arrived on Wednesday and others on Thursday morning; and still others throughout the duration of the conference. Wednesday was devoted to the renewing of friendships and exchanging news with one another. Thursday's activities began with the EFA Board meeting at 8:30. President Ed welcomed those present and introduced new members Thomas and Anne Eller and daughter Julie from Colorado Springs. Two board members, Bethel Eller Stolte and Hazel Eller James neither were present due to health. Several reports were made. Ed stated that it is essential that we gain membership in the EF A, and that the use of the Eller web site is the most important aspect of disseminating information about Eller genealogy. Van Eller told about the enjoyable trip and research work of those who make the trip to Salt Lake City in 2002. The group had a luncheon buffet at the hotel. The guest speaker was Rudy Eller, sheriff of Towns County, Georgia. Sheriff Eller welcomed us to Hiawassee and gave a few remarks about his personal background. Following a buffet lunch the meeting resumed at I: 15. Several issues were discussed. All of the John Jacob Eller books were sold except four. It was decided that we would take pre-publication orders at $60 per book until we had a reasonable number sold for a reprint. We have about fifty-five of the George Michael Eller books on hand and about fifty more at the printer, which we have not purchased yet. After some discussion about the Eller Chronicles, we concluded that we should all try to give Editor George Eller more news and information for the publication. The nominating committee, who are Ed Eller, Lynn Eller and Nancy Eller, presented the following slate of officers and directors to serve for the next two years: President: Vice President: Secretary-Treasurer: Directors: Paula Eller Devon Dahl Roger Eller Eric Eller, Kent Eller, Van Eller, Gene Ellison and Sue Koenig Following adjournment of the meeting, Devon gave an interesting talk and slide photos of his visit to Ashe and Wilkes Counties, North Carolina, including the old farm place of Peter Eller located on Roan Creek and New River. He also commented about the research work done last year at Salt Lake City. Friday morning the group boarded a bus for a ride through the mountains and down the Chattahoochee River valley to the quaint little village of Helen, Georgia. Helen, with an old world architecture and cobblestone streets, presents a true Bavarian village of little specialty shops. Oktoberfest is a big celebration there in the fall. We finished shopping and looking, and once again on the bus, we headed to the town of Dillard for lunch at the Dillard House. (/ don't know which was named after the other.) The Dillard House is a famous eatingTHE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII. Issue 3 Page 50 --_._------- place, where food, and lots of it, is served family style. Like Hiawassee, Dillard is just a stone's throw from the North Carolina border. After eating all that we possibly could, we walked over to the cemetery at the Baptist Church where Susannah" Sukey" Eller was buried. Ed Eller and Devon Dahl led a ceremony dedicating the new headstone at her grave. She was the daughter of John Jacob Eller and Mary Biffle Eller, born in Sullivan County, North Carolina (now Sullivan County, Tennessee) about 1787 and died in February 1864 at Dillard, Rabun County, Georgia. It is believed that she was the first Eller to move to Georgia. Back in Hiawassee, we relegated the evening to more fellowship and dining. Saturday's activities began with the convening of the Board at 9: 15. President Paula asked the Secretary (Roger) for the invocation and to call the roll of directors. All were present. Old business subjects discussed and action taken I. Moved and approved that the Association hereby express appreciation for services rendered to the EF A by the outgoing board members: Bethel Eller Stolte and Hazel Eller James; and that certificated be sent to them; 2. Moved and approved that we not take any action to purchase the remaining fifty George Michael Eller books from the publisher, Closson Press, at the present time unless Closson asks us to. 3. The June 30,2003 financial report was presented by Roger. The cash balance at June 30, 2003 was $10, 336 and liabilities for the conference yet to be paid. Also included in the cash balance at June 30 was encumbered funds of $3,749 for publications and $1,800 other, mostly for conference expenses. The Board moved and approved that the $1,800 be transferred to the general fund. New business brought to the floor: I . The Board adopted the following mission statement: .. The Eller Family Association exists to assist all Eller and associated family lines worldwide to: Discover and preserve our historical past; report current events and ongoing contributions; provide a permanent resource to receive and distribute research discoveries; develop, and expand current family ties; and provide ongoing biennial meetings to summarize accomplishments, socialize, and provide inspired direction as we focus on the future." 2. Paula emphasized that there is a lot of work to be done in the EF A, and that it must be spread around to involve a lot of members. She named the following committees, each to be chaired by a board member. Committee Chaired by Research Sue Koenig Membership Kent Eller Web site Eric Eller Fellowship - - - - - - Convention - - - - - - Also resolved, that Sue involve Ed Holt and work closely with him on research work which he is continuing presently. Also resolved, that Eric involve and work closely with Ben Eller as his expertise in the establishment and continued work on the web site is essential. 3. Proposed budget for the years 2004 and 2005 was presented (copy attached) which anticipates $5,000 income and expenses for 2004 and $7,000 income and expenses for 2005. The budget suggest an increase in dues from $15 to $25 annually, effective January I, 2004; and an increase in life membership from $150 the $250, also effective January I, 2004. After some discussion regarding finances and a change of fiscal year, it was mentioned that a change of by-laws was necessary. Then, President Paula convened a meeting of the membership and the following action was taken: Motion was made and seconded THE ELLER CHRONICLES Volume XVII, Issue 3 Page 51 ~--------------- .- that the by-laws be revised to delete the requirement of notification of members of proposed change of the by-laws and add that the by-laws may be changed by a majority vote of members in attendance. Motion passed. Motion was made and seconded that the year of the Eller Family Association be changed from the calendar year ending December 31 to one ending June 30, and that dues be increased from $15 to $25 annually, and from $150 to $250 for life membership, and that dues be prorated on a quarterly basis. Motion passed. Meeting of the membership was adjourned. Those who brought their arts and crafts displayed them on tables for the silent auction. Bidding was quite active initially and again just before time expired at 3:00 o'clock. The auction brought in a total of $519.50 and tee shirt sales amounted to $469. Everyone relaxed awhile until time to get dressed for photos outside and for the banquet at 6:30. Following the buffet dinner, Lynn Eller, as chairman of the Awards Committee, presented the following awards: J W Hook Award to Edward K. Eller EFA Award to Devon Dahl President's Award to J. Gerald Eller (via telephone) All were in suspense to see whose name would be drawn for the Eller family tree rug. None other than Eric Eller's name was called. The events for the evening were concluded with some old-fashioned hymn singing. The accompanist at the piano was Eller, wife of Glenn Eller, who owns the Eller Tire Store in Hiawassee. She was fantastic on the keys and he was very good singing bass. It was an enjoyable climax for everyone there. A total of 74 people attended all or some part of the conference.
