Thanks Donna, look for an email from me in the next couple of days to thank you properly.

Anyone doing research on the surname ZEHRUNG? I have about 50 pages of data on this name ... starting with Johann Adam ZEHRUNG in 1791

PENNSYLVANIA. Adams County. Flohrs Lutheran Church Cemetery 1,126 records Deb Jones http://userdb.rootsweb.com/cemeteries/

LOL...reason I left plenty of evidence where I've been the last many years...lol. Daughter-n-law didn't put me on their census when I was in MD been married twice...reverted legally back to my maiden name, couldn't stand my last married name born in KY, but lived overseas and a hundred different other places. Made sure I left them all plenty of info...lol...have a good nite all...prayers here and overseas. Afterthought...if they can't find me years from now, sure won't be because of me...lol.

That is just it, someone does not want other people to know. This is where I get to lost on my brick wall. One source says he was born in NY. That is the census. Another says in Vt. that was something that came from the state archives. Yet the town that he was born in from that information can not find any listings for his birth there. It is a merry-go-round. Take my father-in-law. He was born in Indiana on a family trip back there although all of the other kids were born in Wyo.,where the family home was.

I know what you mean with families having people that have been married many times. What is even worst is when they moved back to the old country. My uncle tried to find just what happen to his father after grandma divorce him. Then years later out of nowhere he had two brothers that showed up on his door step. They trace him through his military records. The brothers were young enough to be his sons. One was a dead ringer for his father.

Just stop by and wanted to say hello to you all. Been glued to the TV as so many other people. The kids at school will want to know what I watch last night!

Hi there...yeah...think I'll just go back to writing my Family Heritage Stories...hand my kids a map to all the cemetary locations...and wish them good luck!

G-o-l-l-y gee can't even imagine how confusing it must be to try to trace folks that have had 'several' marriages that they have lived in as children. I was thinking of someone like Liz Taylor and Zsa Zsa Gabor. I think they have both been married 6 - 7 times each !!!

Oops...error...see what I mean...lol...not 1980 Census, 1920 Census...

No-body's ever here when I post...but wanted to let you all know...never fully believe what you find on Census info...sure we all know that...but the errors can start you on a path you'll be sorry you took...on my 1980 Census for William and Lucinda (Batts) Douglas, a child, Walter, is listed as being born in IL, on the 1880 Census I found yesterday, Walter is listed as born in KY with all the other kids...due to the marriage year and birth year being the same, think Lucinda didn't want anyone to know for sure...little devil...lol...happy hunting all!

GUESS WHAT...I was just checking my info I had written down last nite on the 1880 Census Henry Co., William and Lucinda had working/living with them on their farm, a Joseph DOUGLAS - 37 b. 1843 Port Royal, KY and in the same area was a Alfred DOUGLAS - 26 b. 1854 with wife Susan age 23 all in Port Royal,Henry Co., KY. Alfred is beginning to look very good to me.

And special thanks...for all your help! : )

Re: Resunah...I guess if you couldn't spell then...that could be Rosanna, Rosannah...hmm...possibliity.

Sounds so confusin' with all the John, William, and Leslie's...lol...and then they had to go and do the John Leslie, John William, thing....lol...there must be 4 different gens of Leslie Earls, my brother being one...lol

One in the same I hope...thank you lady...spent most of yesterday afternoon searchin' this family. This sounds like a good lead...I can almost be positive William had a brother John. When I went back to New Castle, KY the Douglas Family Plot is there with William, Luncinda BATTS, My Grandfather John, and Della MEEK...another brother of my John, Leslie DOUGLAS along with his wife Goldene POLLARD. I also found two DOUGLAS' I have been unable to connect, yet in the same area of the cemetary...a John Douglas b. 1849 d. 1927 KY, and John L. Douglas b. 1897 d. 1932...no doubt related, could be cousins. Cannot chase these people down. The only problem being with John in my photos and William, is John would be 1 and William 11. I did not unfortunately get a chance to search the records as they were closed that day. Thanks again...found the 1880 Census with William and Lucinda listed as farmer...Henry Co., KY. Everyone in that DOUGLAS family had so many Williams, Johns, and Leslie's. I posted my GEDCOM at GenCircles if it would help anyone...needs some work, but not feeling 100%. Sorry for the long post.

I searched the 1850 census of KY for both DOUGLAS and DOUGLASS. Found no DOUGLAS, William H age 11, found lots of Williams but not the right age. HOWEVER, I did find: 1850 Fayette, Davies Co, KY the following: DOUGLASS, Alfred age 42 b. VA., wife Sarah age 40 b. KY, daughter(SP) Resunah age 15 b. KY, sons: William age 11 b. KY, James age 11(twins)b. KY, John age 8 b. Ky Green age 5 b. KY and Alfred R. age 2 b. KY...Roll M432_199 page 208

Along with S(C)HANDELMAYER we are needing BRODEMAN (BROADMAN). If anyone has anything let us know, thanks.

sure thing! will put it together & send

Donna, I would love to have that info. Would you email me privately please, with your email address?

To love our children is to see them, respect them, share life with them......and always to let go. Good night everyone.
