Hi, Would some please look for a John Jordan Norris b.1833 Ga. married to Mary C. Tyler b. 1838 Ga. in the 1870 Census of Ala. He some times went by Jordan or J. J. children Julia b. 1863 Thomas W. b. 1862 Jocob W. b. 1866 William W. b. 1868 Betty b. 1865 I found them in Talladega Co., Ala in the 1880 census.. but lost them in the 1870 and 1860. They may be in Ga., but Ala. is a better chance, since they were there in 1880. Thank you for you help Linda

I agree with Betty, and think that Will is just a tad over the line with his remarks, forgetting that many people are new to this hobby, and they really don't know anything about looking up census records. Some of what he says makes sense, but was delivered in a patronizing manner that could put off some people from trying again to get the information they need.

Undoubtably,these "asking"people have never spent any time looking through census records. Since a great many records are on line,perhaps instead of complaining about a "free"service,they should get off their duff and hire a paid researcher to do their work for them or go to a LDS Family Research Center(these are located all over the nation and can be accessed online as well before complaining about volunteers who are overwhelmed by people who have no idea of the effort it takes to locate census information. I suggest that all of you people who have never looked up someone on a census record, try it. Staring at page after page of old handwritten information looking for a certain name and family is not much fun.

If you don't know how to do the research, they have good books on Genealogy research in public libraries and there are free lessons and helpful hints an rootsweb.

I think email works both ways, rather than ignor a request, send an email and request more precise information, Maybe that was all the person knows, or maybe they are new and don't know what to include. On another list I have been ignored a lot, but I thought it was because no volunteer was on the list at the time. Forgive me if I am wrong, but "John Smith 1880 Father David" sent to a specific state, would mean to me, person doesn't know what county and they want a lookup in state for any county for 1880, and John Smith would show up in household of the parents they were looking for, thinking that there is a master search that would give the name, county, for that year. That would show all John Smiths with father David and they could choose logical one. Works both ways, person asking for lookup erred, person doing lookup ignored request and erred also. Thanks for all the good work all the volunteers do and we do have wonderful volunteers on this list. We have some who are as "GOOD AS GOLD" as I have stated before. Without someone asking for help with their search, we would not need a list. Not all doing research are professionals, at some time or another we all get frustrated because seems like our ancestors just arrived by spaceship, stayed a while , left their mark and boarded the spaceship and disapeared. Happy New Year to All, I hope the new year brings all our brick walls down Betty

Maureen, Thanks for trying to make our lives simpler. Those of us with census records are constantly frustrated by emails or list requests that say "John Smith, 1880, father David." We are left to decide if John was born in 1880, do they want the 1880 census, and just where do John and David live? So many incomplete request go ignored, simply because the volunteers don't know where to start looking. I do lookups for 6 states, several counties in each state, so I get about 20 requests daily. It's great to have a list mom that realizes that we have lives beyond genealogy, and tries to help us out as much as possible. Thanks for all your hard work this past year, Maureen! Happy New Year!

Would you please post the welcome letter again. It is so easy to forget the rules, when all we have on our minds is Find the ancestors. Thanks Betty

PLEASE re-read your welcome letter to the list, it states ONLY one request per day per email..... The Kind people that do the look ups would have NOTHING else to do but lookups if people like you kept asking them to "cater to YOUR lookup request's, good lord, I could keep them going for years just on one of my lines... Think about this & Please apoligize to the list for your major blunder. Maureen List MOM/ADMIN According to the rules, I must apoligize for asking help in census lookups for more than one county at a time all in one day. According the list mom, I can only ask for one look per day. So to you all that do lookups for people whom have no access to the census, I am sorry for asking you to do a look up in more than one all in one day. I know it takes time, because I do lookups my self for the state of Illinois, Alexander County. I do know it is timely to help others......but I enjoy it. So, please for give me for asking for more than one county in one day. Angie
