He said 'He Promises' tee hee! Did you see his new Library tote, Isn't that just the cutest thing you ever did see?? I wish He would bring me one. LOL

Send me PBF's, only if he promises to be good!

That is quite a coincidence. I currently live in Davis Co. UT. Have you by chance ran across any MURPHREEs or CORNELIUSs?

Good to hear that you and yours are doing ok. We have had a very mild winter thus far. In fact, we only have a fraction of the snow/rain that we should have. Think all of our snow went east.

I don't have this family of THRASHER, However I found a Jeremiah PATE in my THRASHER INfo. There Just may be a connection. For right now, I'l put it in an unconnected file. GOOD JOB, PBF's is froggie danceing, shall I send him your Way???

Daviess Co., Ky. same as where Patmoose grew up!--but I've never met her.:-(

Good to see you and all the others!I'm ok, just tired of winter!

Yep, that is something we should all do before we post our messages. But not many of us do that though. LOL Please refresh my memory as to what part of the country you live in.

You should know it's me, by my spelling. I should read what I write before hitting Post!

Good to see you again. I'm a bit tired from working long hours, but otherwise, okay and yourself?

Botetourt County is about 160 miles south of the north point of VA on Interstate 81 Fincastle, Va is the county seat. Loudoun County is north of Botetourt . refer to www.mapquest.com perhaps this would be easier.

Louise, is that you? Good evening to you.

Patmoose, I've run out od places to look for your Hannah Johnson, and beginning to believe she must have died young.

Betty, are you magical enough to find this for Patmoose? 'Looking for Hannah Johnson b. Dec. 1869. Living with W. H. Johnson, aks W. Q. in Yelvington, KY in 1870. She was gone by 1880. W. H. and Mary E. Johnson had no children.'

Rena, just curious as to where Botetourt County is compared to say Loudon County, VA?

By the end of the day i hope to have completed an Index for the 1930 Botetourt County Census. Yes I know you can view this if you have a subscription ot some of the pay sites. BUT I don't, therefore I have a cd with the census on it. the Club members have copied each HOH, and soon this will be typed and sorted alphabetically. I look forward to this being finished. The info will include name, Dist and location, ie:street. It will be avaliable in the Fincastle Library and The Botetourt County Courthouse in Fincastle, Va. Our last project was to index the 1830 and 1840 Census which is complete and has been donated to the above mentioned locations. Rena Worthen founder and president of the Craig Botetourt Genealogy Club genclub01@yahoo.com

Good evening everyone. Hope all have had a successful hunting day. Sure would be nice to be able to find another generation of ancestors, but think I am going to have to do a lot more research before that happens. That is, unless I get a lucky break. Ha! Would really like to find a connection between Joseph WOODELL and James Wesley HEEDLEY or his wife Vicie BYNUM. bdorsett801@msn.com

Hi all, THANK YOU,THANK YOU. Whoever started this up. Missed you all.Will be lurking and reading until I get acclamated again. 2 questions: 1)Do we have to register?...2) How is Betty and daughter?

Thank's for the new THRASER info. I was able to add children and dates to what i have. GOOD JOB, PBF's is froggie dancin here, shall I send him to you?

Thanks for the info - I will try it. So far I have not found him on any pedigree. Although there are a number of Alanson LAKEs that come up on Google.com, there are not the right age or possible location. Nancy

Looking for Hannah Johnson b. Dec. 1869. Living with W. H. Johnson, aks W. Q. in Yelvington, KY in 1870. She was gone by 1880. W. H. and Mary E. Johnson had no children. Anyone have ideas?

well,I have to get going here,tty all again soon.

Have you seen this site LAKE genealogy)http://www.simonlake.com/html/lake_genealogy.html

Looking for Alanson LAKE whose dau was married in Ohio City abt 1840 he was listed in a Cleveland City directory as a 'confectioner'. Not only do I not know his wife's name but I know nothing of his background. He may have been of German extraction. Supposedly there is a German ancestor in my maternal line and Alanson LAKE and or his wife are the most likelh candidates at this time. John Curtus GREENOUGH, father of Elizabeth who was b in Schenectady abt 1812. A distant cousin is also working on this line and JCGREENOUGH appears to be the little man who never was! He is probably connected to the GREENOUGHs of Mass & Vermont, but we have not yet found the connection. Thanks Nancy

Have this site from Braintree..Old and kinda neat.....TOWN RECORDS, BIRTHS, MARRIAGES AND DEATHS, INDEX OF NAMES ON TOWN RECORDS, http://www.usigs.org/library/books/ma/Braintree1793/Contents.ht

Have you tries this site for Buffalo? Its not very good,but? )http://bfn.org/~roots/local.htm#Pers

Hi Jen...and I went to google,searched Ausable new york county? and it came back)Not sure exactly where it is. Roots web has a nice site for counties and maps also.

Thanks! I try that next time.

When you have a town name and want to know what county it is in, try Geographic Nameserver. Don't pay attention to what it says at the top of the page that comes up....just scroll down and look for the form where you put in the name of the town and you can put in the state...see the directions above the form. http://www.mit.edu:8001/geo

Yes, this is oopsie. I kept thinking that it was, but then I found quite a few Ausables & wasn't sure. Is that close to any large town in NYS?

Is this oopsie?)I had to search but Ausable is in Clinton co. Hope all is well there.

Mar, If you are still around, would you know what county Ausable, NY is in? There are so many Ausables on this atlas which I am looking at. Thanks!

Hi Toni!! Cannot say that I recognize any of them, but I will keep an eye out for them. I'm still working on my GGrandfather, John Jacob TRIER, who I thought was born in Buffalo, NY..yet the 1880 census says it was in PA. Don't know where though...Am sending NARA papers for both WI & PA because he's listed as serving in the CW in both states.

Working on a new one with a neighbor. Oscar, Cleveland Simpson, born Dec 1886/88 in Illinois died 1954 fresno Ca. Also lived in Fisher Arkansas. Was married to a Francis Norman born 1894 Ill. Oscar's parents were Henry Simpson born 1851 Ill. and Anna Mahan 1855 Mo. Anyone working on these names. Thanks. Toni

Hello everyone. glad to see there is a room up and running again. Hope everyone has been well & happy these last few months

Scatback) Hi, have thought of often also. Glad to see you in. Hope all has been well with you. I can't stay long but will pop in and out. Nice to be able to do that again.

Hi) I forgot you has SHATTUCK.Yes, often thatmiddle name or intial is for mothers maiden name. We have alot of them.Good to see you.

Looking for the parents of Mordicai SOPER who was born on 31 December 1746 Some say in England and others say right in New England. Most likly Mass. Married Naomi OWEN Both are buried in the Milton Cem, VT Their one son Remember was born in Miton, Chittendan Co., VT 4 March 1794. Are there anyone working on these lines? Gukaluck@lewiscounty.com

So nice to see you all on. I had really missed you all and was only able to keep track of a few of you. Shana. Thank you so much for this new site. Nice to be back among the friends that I have miss. Guk

Hi Mar! Thanks for the information on that NY gen site. I will have to give that one a try and see what comes up. I did get some inroads on my SHATTUCK name. Still when you see a Daniel SHATTUCK with a 'T' for the middle name and your own family records show nothing for a middle name you wonder? I guess the answer was right front of me in Gt. Grandma's Family Album. His Mother was Eunice TARBELL. There is a photo of her in the album. MY uncle was the one who came up the link! Wonder where the photo of his father was. On the other hand Eunice looks to be on her last legs. Guk

Shana thank you for setting up this chat room. It is good to see so many of the old crowd posting. More later

I already have this, but thanks for the reply. .... I need to confirm the 'V' as Vivian, and why they used that name instead of Margaret. ...

Hi I have some papers on the HUPPs .. let me check them for exactly where they were in Calif. I do recall that there was a HUPP female with a middle initial of 'V' .. this might have been the one in question I'll get back to you later today Thanks JH I forgot to add my email before .. it's jakmann2002@yahoo.com ..

Signing off for a bit. No luck on Shadcat's site. Maybe it is down? Have not given up.

Howdy there? How are you today? Searching for an old site for Mar.

Ths is not it, but looks promising? Jeffery's Genealogy Links http://home.earthlink.net/~howardorjeff/jlinks.htm The link to Shadcat's didn't work from his site either? Still looking........

It is so nice to see familiar names as I scroll thru today's postings: I think it is snoopy dancing time in thanks for what Shana has done.

ShadCat's Free Genealogy Listings - STATES http://user.icx.net/~booboo/state.html Now let me check it out....

I will be back...as soon as I can) Like home again.....We NEED a Welcome Home sign !!!or Home sweet Home sign)

tty again:) I'm going to have to be in and out of here also..getting supper time,and may have sister-in-law coming to stay and then for the night...

Let me check it out and see what i find out. I remember that site well! He had very good info for many states. Check back if you are gone by the time i am done exploring?

LOL, yes, June and her lights up at September! I said let me get through with November first! Maybe she is still having a white Christmas??

Plumbing,yuk. I missed June throwing things:)I did chat a few short chats with Belly,on one site. But then tried another which I didn't do well at either. This just is the tops as far as layout and all!! Been busy though, and has been hard to keep up with it all and contacts.

Most Wanted..... WILKIE/WILKEY is a surname that is my brick wall here! There should be descendants of at least two that i know of. But so far, am at a standstill! PBF fingers here today.

gotta check out for a while. BBL

That new bill in CA. Think NY had it for some time. I know I was told they couldn't give me the reasons of death on Hirams. I said,I didn't want that...God that was gggg's back. Just a wifes name or parents. But then they said they didn't have it!

I missed this at christmas too. expecially June and her 6 months of it. Doing ok here in CA. life is setteling in..... but for the plumbing.

Remember that site we liked,Chadcats? I don't think it is up anymore.Have you tries? It was loaded with WHITES. Now that I have more,its not there)

Should read = Too bad........

No, I haven't left yet. Haven't seen Con yet. Congrats on your snoopy's, and the grandchildren! Was busy finding the link for the researchers. oo bad about California researching. -(

If anyone would like to see the Bills, I can provide the links? SB 1614 and SB 247. Here is the link to read all about them. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/bilinfo.html

Anyone know about Con? Has he been in?

Bry...hows things been with you? This is so neat...I missed it at Christmas even.

BIG :):)..I thought maybe you had left. Hope you have been well and all. One g.dau. is 2 and darling, our new one born this past Dec...as darling as her sister) Love being nana..)

remember my millions of post for Hiram and Ascenath ARNOLD? Well, looks like Hiram and Miriam----? not sure why or how that was,but that was written in this little book, she buried in family cemetery on old homestead.We have not found that yet. But A fellow that posted me in here, looking for same Hiram,went to Georgia,took pics of book pages....:):) even pics. It has been great fun and information galore..4 of us sharing all.:) from different states.

!!!!!!!!!! {{{{HuGS}}}} !!! So glad to see you! Still cutting hair? Any new grandchildren?

URGENT ~ You do realize that two senate bills have passed the California Legislature, that will prohibit seeking, and obtaining any birth certificates, and any certificates with a mother's maiden name on them? You must be able to prove relationship. While the bills went into effect 1/1/03, they will be strictly enforced 6/1/03. However, word is going around that a date will be picked that research can be done before a certain date in history. But not after that date. i.e. 1930? So....hurry up and get your research done NOW!!

HI~~~~~:):) So NICE to see everyone again! I missed 'snoopy Dancin' Broke our ARNOLDS POTTERS and a few all at once! A little book,great aunt had written ancestry in way back. Found a connection through our IRISH side in Georgia!! Shes coming up this summer.

we did have good helpers, and it looks like they made their way back. information I have: Short history on the PERKINS name prior to 1800 in New England. Brunswick German Soldiers of the American Revolution, deserters or prisioners of war. English and German POW's, and F O Conant's book of the Conant Family in America.

Tex, we have WHITES. Nathaniel..b..England..m..Elizabeth STOKES..down to Reuben WHITE,d..Aug,10,1841. m..Elizabeth----? ..b..Sept.1793..d..Ap.1875..Children..Elizabeth,Rhoda,and Thursey WHITE..m..Wm.C.POTTER..Their dau. Emily POTTER..m..George W.ARNOLD... This was one of our big bust a couple mths ago!!! Maybe we have some connections?

Again, I say 'thank you' to the people who have been responsible to this room being opened. (see posts 2/28) I think most everyone stumbling onto this site have paid homage. Also Shana, thank you for being a presence here too.

Yes, it is very nice to see old faces, and reconnect. We had such a great group of helpers in the old room, and I see nothing that will stop that tradition from continuing!

since we last hung out together I found a marriage record for Richard PARKER. His marriage is to Catherine SHERROW in Harrison co OH in 1835. This connection was made a bit easier as they named their second child SHERROW. Seeking parents for Catherine and Richard. Suspect John and Charity PARKER of Harrison co as parents but have yet to find the ole proverbial proof.

I have had in-roads to surnames, and snoopy dancing along the way! Names I am seeking.....BENCE, CHADSEY, BECKER, DENBO, GREENE, HAMMOND. The new snoopy's are with CLOSE from England, ELLINGS from England, ISSEL from England. Specifically (sp) from Minchinhampton, Glouster area.

Rewrite, Bets, thresa, Julie OH JUST ALL OF YOU it's nice to see all of you again.... Shana,,,,,, thanks for the room

I'm sure hoping we can. Thanks for passing on my request.

I will pass your request for help on, and maybe we can find someone knowledgeable in that area?

No inroad on my three major brick walls: Alanson LAKE: dau Anna m Isaac HEWITT in Ohio abt 1840 George Curtis GREENOUGH dau Elizabeth m Alfred STILLMAN abt 1835 and John HERON of Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland father of John b 1770 & Nathaniel b 1780, both christened in Kirkcudbright. Thanks

My finger slipped on the first posting & it should be from 'big bird'

It's good to be home again!! Been a long time since I saw some of you folks. Still searching the same ol' lines.....funny how those names never change much.....LOL LOL. Have had some luck with my WHITE line from CT & VT but still can't find my 'elusive' Henry WHITE (his origins), last known to be in Colebrook, Litchfield County, CT. He died in Colebrook, but how he got there & from where remains a mystery. My luck has come in the form of finding some of the descendants of his grandchildren thru his son, Anthony WHITE. Again......it's good to be back in a familiar place again!!

Deja Vu - I like it!

That is all I could find in a family tree at familytree maker without downloading the entire tree.

I'd love to stay and play, but first I must go copy a new manuscript of old Botetourt County Obits. Later the index will be at my website.

seems to be a different family from kit

close. stange from germany to missouri to new orleans,la.

Now that we have a place to post,I have started to get a list of NY sites,so I won't make separate post. Inter Active New York Genealogy )http://victorian.fortunecity.com/literary/463/igen/ny.html

were you searching a German line,SMITH?

same theresa,no new info yet. did contact a secretary at a church rectory willing to do research.

Hi, are you the same theresa that used to be on genchat?Hope you have filled inblanks since we last saw each other.

Guk,I see you are still trying to find Thomas TABOR, I found a NY genealogy site,new to me anyway and thought I'd share it with you and those searching NY. )http://www.newyorkgenealogy.org/cem.htm

also on the east coast,new jersey. when i heard shenandoah, i was thrilled. researching walsh family from lost creek.

Hello,so your the one that has done this wonderful job. Thank you,it seems so good to beable to come in here again,we sure missed our old stomping grounds) Thank you,very much.

I found this site WANAMAKER (Canadian site) last night.I realize you may have already been there. But ?...bbl...

Good Sunday morning! So glad to have a room to go to again. Now I need to get back into the genealogy!! Researching YENTZER,SMITH in PA

Good morning all. Sure appreciate having a meeting place where we can exchange information and other pleasantries. Sure wished I could knock down that brick wall on several of my lines. PATE, DORSETT, HEEDLEY, DUNN, NISEWARNER, CORNELIUS, MURPHREE, BYNUM, WADSWORTH, WHITED/WHTIEDHEAD/WHITE HEAD. bdorsett801@msn.com

Good Morning from the East Coast..still searching the surnames CHEEK SYKES COCKE ESTES/ESTRIDGE HOKE HARTLINE WILLLIAMS KUYKENDALL WHITWORTH. Thanks again Shana and all responsible for the site.

Just a sideplea- if anyone out there knows anything about SQL and cgi/perl or knows someone who does, the site could Really, Really use your knowledge and capabilities. The databases have been down for over a year, cuz they got too big, and I'd really like to pull them back up soon, as they are such a valuable resource. I am currently unable to pay anything, unless you'd accept research in the monterey, salinas, and maybe even san jose, CA areas in return. Or if you'd be willing to do the work and I pay a little every now and then as I can. I'd be willing to work something out. I'm desperate!!!! Thanks in advance!

do you know if any of your San Fran family did anything in Monterey area? if so, i'm not promising anything, but i might be able to find some time to look something up, if you need me to. And thank you for your 'thanks' though a lot also goes to the admin of the room. I'm just providing the space, stability, some of the visitor count. :)

Additional on Vivian HUPP .... I have found nothing on her, it's possible that this is (Vivian) not her real name

First off .. The 'former' genchat bunch need to properly thank Shana for this site .. all the 'old timers' know who she is! As for who I'm looking for, I need info on the HUPP family ( HUPPMOBILE auto makers)in California I believe? I have a Vivian HUPP married to Edward STADTHERR, a brother to my Grandmother. Was a Doctor(surgeon) in San Francisco, California and an 'All American' football player for St. Louis University Time period would be about 1930 Thanks .. and thanks to Shana as well .. hope this site doesn't get taken over

Flooding would be bad! I was pleasantly surprised to check the room after a few days to see so many posts all of a sudden. I had to contact the admin person, to let them know that some maintenance (sp) needed to be done! HEHE hope to see ya again soon!

Goodnight . BBS

well, we shall be doing our best to maintain a friendly and comfortable like setting in here. There are still a few kinks to work out, and we hope to improve upon it still, but we just couldn't hold out on the genealogical community anymore. *sheepish grin*

Pleasant Dreams, also. I know it will continue to grow. I was excited for you when I saw how busy it has been for two days. Well, Good Night :)

Hi again Cephe! Thank you. Remember seeing you in old room too. Yes late here in CT too so I'll say g'nite to all now. BBS!

Well, pleasant dreams to ya. and thanks again soooo much, for helping to jump start the chatroom. it has certainly done wonders! i look forward to seeing it continue to grow.

White it is..and now we have had really bad fog also. It would be nice to warm up, but slowly as not to flood the Shenandoah River and the Potomac River.

sounds like it's quite white back there then. hehe. here was a wonderful sunny day. hehe

aah thanks for clearing that up :-) yes, I too frequented the other room & am happy to have a room with that 'comfortable' feel again that we can keep coming back to. Love the Email block to enter our addys instead of inside posts also! Good luck w/ site, I'll definitely be back soon. Thanks again.

Welcome to you, I hope you fine some great leads and answers to your brickwalls here in the Chatroom.

Well, I am going to go to bed. And Best of Luck to you and your new Chatoorm. And to that special little one.

Yes, I have been in contact with Dennis for along time and Con, also.

As you know it is late here on the eastern coast. We had over 37 inches of snow over President's weekend and Thursday night through Friday got over 6 1/2 inches more. I have missed days at work, could get out. Missed Friday. But will be back to work on Monday. I work now for the Wayside Theatre, a professional equity theatre in the Shenandoah Valley. I started Feb 17, 2000. So I am beginning my 4th Season. I am Sales & Outreach Coordinator and Education in Action Programer. I do multi-tasking all day long. Many jobs under one hat. The way of all non-profit organizations.

yea, dennis told me a lil about true. dennis is about the only one from before that i've kept in constant contact with. though hopefully that'll change, now that the room is open again.

my toes aren't hurting. jump in all ya want. :) the site itself is over 5 years old. the chatroom, though based off of another one, is new to this site, as of the 1st of Jan, 2003. Many of the chatters, including myself, that have posted yesterday and today, used to frequent that other room. though many chatters are also new to this format. All chatters are welcome to join in, meet ppl, share in research, ask questions, and assist others. So... welcome to Family Workings Chat, hope you enjoy, and even moreso, hope you are able to find what you are looking for. Don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Yes, It has been a while. I spoke with Dennis a few weeks ago. He said he had finally heard from True. True has been silent for almost 1 1/2 years. Anyway, True is Divorced and not at Wal-Mart anymore. He also was not well, I believe Dennis said.

Hello! My apologies if I've stepped on any toes when I just jumped in blindly LOL. Didn't realize this is a brand new site that just happens to be almost identical to one that many of us were so familiar with. So nice to meet Shana & many thanks to you for creating site! I'll read all the sections here, incl. archives & get familiar. Greetings and happy hunting to all.

Hehe, gee, guess it has been a long time. no wasn't preggers when left GA, thank goodness. met a wonderful man back here in CA, we're not married, but been together then i was previously married, but happy with the way things are. and my baby is a beautiful child, glad to have had her, even though she was a bit of a surprise

Email all you want. The more the merrier and better the chances of ppl getting assistance! Everyone is welcome here

A daughter, super! Were you pregant when you left GA? or did you meet a nice young man and remarry? Well maybe I should not ask.

That's why i just posted the link to my link form. I don't have a reference to it anywhere else, right now. I'd taken it down, cuz i was so far behind on everything else, and hadn't corrected any broken links in ages. but just last month, i went through the whole site, and cleaned up the links section. I want to allow submissions now, but start off slow, and thought that the chatroom was the perfect place to start. :)

Boy, all of a sudden my typing skills have flown out the window. Links (not ling). Well I hope to email others also.

Congrats on your finds. I actually haven't done any research in a couple of years. got too disheartened with the site, to pay attention to either, but i've been getting a second (third or is it fourth) wind. Of course, my only major addition lately, is my daughter. She's now 15 mos old, so that has also limited my time on anything but her, but she's worth it!!

You will get it built back up. I am sure some of these guys even have items they can contribute to enhance your website for genealogy info to help others. Even takeing the webs site they suggestion and set up an area for people to possible click the ling to go to them would be a neat idea, too.

well, i really do appreciate your spreading the word. it has really boomed in the last two days. :) i knew it'd take a while to get off the ground, but you certainly have sped up the process and i am grateful to you for that.

Well, I am delighted the scriptor chose your website then. When I saw it up Thursday evening, I just had to email the others,. I knew they would pass it on and the site would become busy over night. I don't get to research as much as I would like but I have had a few Snoopy Dances since the other site went off. I have found my gggrandmother name in a marriage bond, so I was able to go back several generations, since her father's name was there to. It was great.

and as far as the site as a whole, well.... it still has a lot of work to go. it got too popular for the way it was set up, and blew up, in a sense. even after over a year of most of it being down, haven't been able to solve the situation. :( but the chatroom is a nice way to start on a comeback

Well, i've always wanted a GREAT chatroom on my site, but it's been a matter of getting it presentable. But i can't take the credit for it at all. I'm just honored that the scriptor chose my site to host it. :)

Heloo. You have a great site, gal. I was so tickled when I checked the site Thursday to see you had the Chatroom up and going.

I am glad to see you all got my email about Shana new Chatroom. It is like to old one. OK, I am researching Fahnestock, Baker, McInturff, Butler, Roberts, Place, Marshall, Reynard, Crosen, Crouse, Henshaw/Hancher, families in the Shenandoah Valley from Berkeley County, WV through Rockingham County, VA. ALso, I can look up some people in Frederick COunty, VA area/Winchester, if you need any names checked. cepheplace@hotmail.com

Just to let you all know, a new form has been re-added to the site, where you can submit your webpage to be added to the links pages. So, if you have a website you'd like added, please feel free to go to: http://www.familyworkings.com/linkform.htm and submit it.

Wow, deja vu guys & gals. Amazing, feels like none of us ever left the old room. Popped in to check out the new site, been hearing great things & had to say HI to everyone! TA-DA and I get to brag my 1st time in too.... was just contacted last night by a distant cousin I've been trying to reach unsuccessfully since 2/2000! Her addy had changed before I'd replied to her posting but she'd just spotted my name listed as a family contact on another site & we've emailed, IM'd & are hoping to meet. Cool news huh?..... SNOOPY DANCE FOR ME.... yipppeeeee, dance w/ me! Am sharing this URL with new cousin right now. BBL
