Well, that's okay, thank you for thinking of me anyway! -)

Yes, the Mass. BENCE'S seem to have been here a bit longer than mine, although mine have been found from 1797.

Yes,she did go as SAGE MOM. Her new addy is: marbence2002@yahoo.com I have been wondering about that for some time. Oh well... :-(

Yes, that's her, Webtv, not aol.

I believe her name is SAGEMOM? I have looked at her research before. I don't think we are looking for the same lines. But wouldn't it be nice somewhere down the road to actually connect?

Don't think so..let me check, her name is Margaret DAVIS??? Most of her research is MA & in that area. She did have Web TV..then changed to a computer.

Hi Con!! Good to see you in the room!!! I still get your jokes & get a chuckle when I get them.

Hello. Yes, i think I know wo she is. She and i do not connect that we know of. Doesn't she have an aol email addy?

You are researching BENCE, are you not? I know a woman in NV whom I believe is searching for the same name. Let me know & I will check it out for you.

Spent this PM over at our FHC, think I have finally located John Jacob TRIER when he 'enlisted' in the Civil War in WI. I'm a bit confused because his records show that he was in the Infantry as well as the Artillery. It looks as though he may have been hospitalized in the Artillery & Hospital Corps. I believe this may have been in KY. I do have his Pension Number..which I believe is the number which starts with a 'C'. Hopefully this number will get information for me, because I don't know where else to look for this man!!

I am researching the Edward CLOSE famly in Minchinhampton, Glouscester, England. Edward CLOSE married Susannah ELLINGS/Ellins abt. 1838. Anyone know of this family, please contact me. Thank you.

Nice to see you again! Hope you have been well? And still searching, and searching, and .... searching!

I sent an email to Alun to let him know that the room was up a few days ago. So I guess we just need to keep an eye out for the others to trail in as they find the room.

Good evening to everyone!

Well, no cassidy's listed there. maybe they just didn't exist? hehe oh well. nice site though!

You are not imagining things. the search is not working properly right now. Hoping to fix that tonight.

Thanks! Checking it out now!

((((((((Con)))))))))) Shana, thanks so much for creating the chatroom! It's so good to see so many faces from before, definitely not old faces!!! And I'm still looking for the same bunch of TN hillbillies.

Cool deal! Thanks for letting me know that you are able to post, even while using web tv. Makes things a little less stressful, in ironing the room out. :) Phew!

Was wondering if you were going to show up! Long time no talk. Family Workings has always been up, just not all parts of it. Most of it is still down actually, unfortunately. But some day.... I know the feeling about genealogy on the back burner, but now that the chat room is up, we shall we about that too. :) good to have ya around, even if it is just to chit chat.

See familiar namres from old genchat who used to receive Joke o day and whose names are not now in my address list. Do any of you who are not receiving it want to be reinstated? If so, send eaddy to csamssd@webtv.net and request jokes.

hmmmmmmm wonder if IA had death certficats as early as 1895.......

Good evening. Tonight I toss one I have not worked on much yet. Catherine SHERROW, sometimes spelled SHEROW. b 1813 in OH, possibly Harrison co. Married Richard PARKER in 1835 in Harrison co OH. Two eldest children, William and Sherow were born in Harrison co. Abelina, Iasiah and James were born in neighboring Tuscarwaras county where Richard bought a farm and lived there from prior to 1850 until his death in 1884. Catherine then moved to Iowa where son Sherow lived until her death in Madison co IA 8 Feb 1895.

Sorry, I must have mailed that info. on Harold Bettis of San Diego, CA to the addy you posted below for Dianne. Found it in Switchboard White Pages: http://www.switchboard.com/bin/cgiqa.dll?MEM=1&LNK=3:1

Thanks for the Richardson info. It is appreciated. How are you? Hope all is well. I see you are busy on the Gen Exchange.

Anyone see Alun from across the Pond to tell him there is a room to come to again?? He was always a pleasnat fellow and a great help on British research.

Has anyone notified DiaNNe (w/ 2 N's) that the room is open..I lost her E-Mail addy.

Good Evening , Researching: ROCK*FOYE*WHITCOMB*BOWEN*REED*WEIR*HOLBROOK*JOSLYN/JOSLIN*....today

OK, do check out the site when you get a chance, just in case..-)

Ah, just as I suspected. You've been there. Pity it wasn't of any help..yw...d

Hello 3 thumbs. How is everything ?

Hi FOLKS - I SEE SOME FAMILIAR NAMES HERE! I AM RESEARCHING THE RITCHEY - RITCHIE - RICHIE - SHADMAN - CHADMAN - ST. CLAIR AND MANY MORE!

Thanks, but been there / done that ... What I NEED is to clarify if Margaret V. HUPP is the 'elusive' Vivian? I haven't been able to find any data on a Vivian anywhere .. or anything that shows the 'V' as Vivian! ...... If they were the same person, why was the Margaret 'dropped' ??? ... Thanks ... JH

Have you tried out the genealogy.com site sponsored by A&E. Arts and Entertainment Television Station? They really have some good links there to help tear down brick walls. They have all the census records up that are viewable so that you can see who your ancestor's were living by. The search is so great that we are making great headway on several of our lines.

Since we last talked I have gotten 4 new grandchildren. I now have 10. I wish I could see them more often that I do. My last trip to Utah was in Sep. to attend my Mom and Dad's 50th wedding anniversary party.

Nice to hear from you too. I didn't know that you went back to Utah. Where are you living. My kids keep me up on the weather back there. You sure have been getting some snow storms.

Hello there girlfriend. How have you been? Sure have missed talking to you like we used to. Bea Dorsett

It's nice to see so many new faces here. Keep researching even though it may get hard at times. Persistance pays off.

RESEARCHING: RICHARDSON, JEWELL, HESLEP, MADDOX, SESSLER, PIERCE, PEARSON, BATES , PARRISH, CUMMINGS, GORDON, PERRY, HAMILTON, BENTLEY, KENNEDY, .....And much more.

Looks like someone else is using my old handle so I will change to a new one. Don't forget to access the Gen Exchange. It is now up and running and new information is being added everyday.

Has anyone else tried using the search function in the archives? I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if its not functioning properly?

Hi Mar. Everything just fine. I just got a e mail from the coronors office in Woodstock ILL, she is going to send me a report abt my gg uncle that comitted suicide in 1912 + some other info.

Glad to see this up and running.

Well,hello there. Hope all is well with you also......BBL...........

We,, I was thinking maybe the records or info you need may be under TRIERWEILER. Was it John Jacob that changed it,maybe his father and mother's records are in that name.

Hi, I found it,it is Painted Hills)http://www.paintedhills.org/allco.html

HI CP. See you made it ok. LKV webtv can post. 65 ° yesterday but rain today. Gas $ 2 +

Good morning from a wet snowy cold UT. Have about 4' on the ground and it is still snowing hard.

No, I haven't checked out that site yet. Plan to in a little while. Thanks. Guess our CRAWFORDS are not connected. Shucks!

my surnames are: walsh/gillies from pa. feehan/hearns/stange from la.

good morning from sunny & cold n.j. i use web tv and can post msgs.

Sorry, should have mentioned that you need to scroll down the page quite a bit there.

Have you seen this article on the STADTHERR family? I believe I spelled that correctly, although it might be different from your spelling that I recall. However, the article does mention your Vivian HUPP, so I thought you might be interested (unless you are the author, of course) http://www.rootsweb.com/~gbhs/newsletter/june97.html

Did you happen to look at the url to Marion Banks McGee's website which includes the CHEEK/CRAWFORD connection in SC?

Thanks for the answer on my question re auto refresh. Appreciate it!

Good Morning! Searching today for the parents of Frances Catherine PARKER in VA or NC in 1850. Who are her parents?

Hi there, congrats on this new room - at last someone did it, a new genchat. Glad to see Family Workings up and running again and congrats on the latest new little branch of your family tree! Genealogy is on the back burner for me right now, lots of stuff going on but will pop in to say hi now and then
