I remember years ago and I do mean years ago, that happen to a couple. Diana Shore and her husban had black babies. Turns out that some where in the family background there was black blood. This is one thing that you can find out climbing the family tree. My friend has a new grand baby with brown eyes. No one in the family has brown eyes. However, there are some hazels eys in the family that border brown tones. So there. The best thing to do is wait and see. Then love those babies with all your heart.

On my trip I paid only $3.97 for gas on July 2 in Ogden Ut. That was at a Chevron station! The highest that I saw there was $4.07. Go figure!

Is the Silver Reef Casino the closes to you? I have been there and will go on another trip with my mother soon. She loves to go there. Also to the Tualip, and Angels of the Wind. I am about 5 miles from the Luck Eagle/Chehalis. I would rather by handmade items in the gift shop than play the machines.

Here the Indians have fireworks stands that sell all sorts of displays, not all of it legal. Actually the blasting lasted till 4am then started again slightly the 5th. Yes, we also have a casino. The Canadians flock down to here.

Jen to Belly

Belly,I'm not sure how to take you. Did you dig a fox hole in your back yard & stay in it until 2AM so you could get away from all the 4th of July celebrations your Rez put on? Where I live in AZ, the Res (which usually means casinos) coordinates with the town when they are going to have their fireworks. Last night (4th) our town had their fireworks & tonight (5th) the Res will have open displays for the town. It usually works out quite well..since we are all sharing our fireworks with one another. ~Jen

off on another search for a friend. KISTLER, Jacob. Immigrated about 1847 from Switzerland. Naturalized about 1851. First US record is his marriage in Sandusky co OH in Mar 1851. They have 4 surviving children, one born in OH and the rest in MI. Still have not located him in the 1850 census. Still looking though. I have him in the census records from 1860 through 1910. Both Jacob and his wife Mary die between the 1910 and 1920 census. They lived in Emmett, Calhoun, Michigan. Have yet to find a cemetery listing for them to find death dates. Looking for Immigration. Place of origin in Switzerland for Jacob and death dates for this couple. MI had death records available in the late 1800's so I hope to find more info when we have dates of death for them. Children: Benjamin, Rena and David who die very young and are not on any census records that I have located and 4 children that survived, John Henry, Charles E, Lizzetta and Edward Jacob.

Hope everyone had a good day yesterday with family, friends or doing whatever it was that made you happy and joyful for our heritage. We had rain but our spirit was high. Being in Colonial Williamsburg I live the history each day at work and around the town, I love the daily reminders of struggle for independence and a better way of life for their future, we the people. Raining now, thunder and yet the birds are singing and the world is quiet right now.

Marsha B to ANYONE W/similiar prob

We drove to phx to meet twin grandsons who were newly born. I almost dropped one of the babies when I picked him up and realized that he was a black baby. We absolutely are not racisits, had black friends over for dinner 2 days ago but how do you wrap your mind around the idea that a daughter in law you have loved for over 10 years has betrayed your child and what is worse is our son does not see that these babies could not possibly be his. ANY HELP APPRECIATED!

Hope you all are enjoying a relaxing & enjoyable Fourth of July. It's raining where I am, so it's questionable whether or not they will have firewoks. Doesn't bother me, because of the possible fires in nearby forests however, I guess the younger folks look forward to them as well. ~Jen

Happy Fourth of July!!!!! Had a great family reunion and visited the local grave sites of my GGT Grandparents and family. I really learned a lot from the office people there. They are on line with all he information that I needed. Not the same as a real visit. Off for the day with the grandkids. The town park has big doings all day.

Not the same Lee, Lee is in IL and this other Lee was in a hosptial in or near Clearwater, FL. I have written a letter to cousin Lee in IL to see what he may know as he was the one that my mother's grandmother Edna McMeekin left everything to in her will. I am hoping he may have kept some of her belongings or maybe someone in the family that does.

Could your cousin Lee be the Lee Pat spoke of in her letter years ago? Maybe if u contact cousin Lee he can tell u if he had a bad leg and was in the hospital at the time Pat wrote that letter.

That is my cousin Lee Wilmer McMeekin. Not Butch McMeekin. I have just gone over the entire contents of the box I have with McMeekin paperwork and found nothing new to go on. I am so bummed. I left a message for my da to see if he has any other boxes at home that might hold documents or letters or anything from my mother.

Reading through a stack of letters my mother wrote to her father (and step mothers) and in one she mentions Butch, 'So glad Butch is so active with the Sun Coasters. He's really traveled around alot with them...' That must be the team Da said he played on.

All I know of Butch is that he lost his legs due to a train accident and played wheelchair basketball and apparently was good at it. Now reading the one letter I have that Pat wrote to her mom she is mentioning sister Susie in talking about Christmas gifts and also a Lee. She talks about Lee being in the hopsital and his leg is bad. I am wondering if Butch is this Lee?

The 1880 census of Springfield,MA has this: Hall, John A. age 44, born in NY w/father born in NH and mother born in MA.An Insurance agent. Wife Francis age 37 born MA all. Bessie Lundy age 19,single, a servant born Ireland all. Cox,Lizzie 18,single, a nurse for the family born MA all. Cox, Clara F. daughter age 15 born MA-NY-MA at school and single. (I think this is a mistake as far as her last name goes and this is actually Clara F. Hall.) Cox,John A. age 1 month born May 1880,son born MA-NY-MA. (This too is a name goof and this is John A. Hall.). Last is a Alta Dustin age 22 a servant. Seems the Hall's were well off to have a nurse and 2 servants.

People are in and out of here all day and night. The best thing for you to do is to leave you post or question/s and someone will get back to you. Do you need a census lookup? Also someone here might have the surname LUKE.. you can take a look by doing an archive search here.
