I am unable to receive the digest in the manner it is being sent. I have no trouble receiving the rootsweb general digest. What do I need to do?

Hello list, Im trying to research the whereabouts of George W. Minton after 1880. Marriage records indicate he married Moussury (Missouri) Long in 1882. I believe that Missouri may be the same one that I have been searching for as the sister of my g-grandfather. Any help from anyone who might have information regarding this couple after 1882 would be so greatly appreciated. I believe Missouri Long to be the daughter of William Long and granddaughter to Mikel and Nancy (Webb) Long. Anyone....HELP Thanks, Darryl Long Arcata, Ca.

Good Morning All, If you have a family web site listed on the Lauderdale pages, please check the address. I'm getting some 'address bounces' on these, and before I completely deactivate the link I'd prefer to have a corrected address. Also, if you have or know about a family web site address pertaining to Lauderdale County that you would like to see on the Lauderdale page, please let me know. Thanks, Pat

I was told that Mildred Kimbrough had died in January. I had lost touch with her. I met Mildred about 20 years ago. She was one fine lady. She took me and my aunt to Blue Water Creek and to the Coffee-Fritts Cemetery. Thomas Graves Coffee and his family lived at Blue Water Creek and he and his wife Mary Knight Coffee are buried in the Coffee cemetery. Carlisle Woodson Knight, my g-g-grandfather, is also buried there. He was married to their granddaughter Caroline Cordelia Frances Jackson. Mildred and I both descend from Elizabeth Woodson Coffee who married Stewart Jackson. Her g-g-grandmother was Catherine Cassandra Amanda Melvina Woodson Jackson who married Dempsey Bulls. Wil all those beautiful names she was called "Kate." Was told by one of the Jackson "cousins" that her genealogy papers were given to someone in Lauderdale county (Pat Mahan/Myhan). Is this our list-mom? If so wonder if there is any info in those papers about The Jackson, Coffee, Knight and related families by pertain to my part of the family. Thanx. Betty.

Hello, I'm trying to piece a family together from the 1870 Lauderdale County census. I have the following and need some verification: WRIGHT, Richard 33 Lizzie 29 Dora 5 Minnie 1 SHARP John 16 I believe that John SHARP is son of John SHARP and Nancy BALENTINE. John, Jr is living with sister Elizabeth. I found a marriage for Richard W RIGHT and Elizabeth SHARP - 24 Dec 1868 in Lauderdale County. I also found a marriage for R W WRIGHT and Jane HOWIE - 20 Aug 1864 also in Lauderdale County. I think in the 1870 census that Jane has died leaving daughter Dora and Richard has remarried Elizabeth and they now have a daughter. Can someone verify this for me. Thanks Adele Greene Visalia CA

Hello List: Need information on the parents of Lucinda and Mary Parris: Mother: Sarah [nee ?] PARRIS WARD b. GA Father: Mr. ?? Parris b.

Mary was b. abt 1825. The 1850 census states Mary was b. in AL. Sarah WARD was their mother. I do not know the first name of Mr. PARRIS, their father. Perhaps Sarah WARD remarried after her marriage to Mr. PARRIS, or WARD could be her maiden name, pursuant to the custom of widows taking back their maiden names. Lucinda PARRIS m. Simon Hall NELSON (son of Thomas NELSON and Katurah HALL of Carteret Co., NC) 1845 in Sumter Co., AL. On the marriage record there is listed a bondsman, John H. GARY.

Mary & David TODD (b. in MS) and their children resided in Choctaw Co., AL., pursuant to the 1850 census. There is a Thomas TODD age 44 b. in Georgia listed with the household, but I not know who he is in relation to David. David, Mary and their daughter, Jasa C.

Good Morning All, You are absolutely correct Marion. The message is not about Lauderdale County, Alabama genealogy or history, and, as such has no place on this list. As list administrator, I should have said something before, but I had hoped not to have to comment on this, but now I have no choice. Today's politics [and religious preferences while I'm at it] are two subjects that are definitely NOT to be discussed on this list. If these subjects are among your interest, I'm sure there are lists for both at rootsweb or other places. They do not belong on this list. Both subjects have an unfortunate characteristic of hurting feelings and/or inducing anger. Hurt feelings and anger do not assist in our search for those who lived in the past. Please folks, do not send this type of message to the list in the future. To do so will get the sender put on moderation immediately. To continue with messages of this nature will get the sender unsubscribed. And, if one does come through the list, DO NOT reply to the list or the sender about it. Reply to me, Pat M. Mahan, at mahan123@comcast.net . If you have something you want to send to the list, but are not sure about it, contact me FIRST. Now, this subject, as far as the list is concerned, is closed. If you feel you absolutely have to comment on this, please do so to me, personally, not to the list. Let's all get back to genealogy and history.

This is an editorial written by an American citizen, published in a Tampa newspaper. He did quite a job, didn't he? Read on, please! IMMIGRANTS, NOT AMERICANS, MUST ADAPT. I am tired of this nation worrying about whether we are offending some individual or their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept 11, we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely settled when the "politically correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that our patriotism was offending others. I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. Our population is almost entirely made up of descendants of immigrants. However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. This idea of America being a multicultural community has served only to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have our own culture, our own society, our own language and our own lifestyle. This culture has been developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by millions of men and women who have sought freedom. We speak ENGLISH, not Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to become part of our society, learn the language! "In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some Christian, right wing, political slogan. We adopted this motto because Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. It is certainly appropriate to display it on the walls of our schools. If God offends you, then I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new home, because God is part of our culture. If Stars and Stripes offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a move to another part of this planet.

The Wayne County Historical Society of Wayne County, Tennessee will hold their annual "History Fair" tomorrow, Saturday, July 10th, 2004 at Collinwood School, Collinwood, Tennessee. The History Fair starts at 9:00 A.M. and will continue until about 3:00 or 4:00 P.M. Dear Cuzons: Each year the Wayne County Historical Society does a great job and each of us that attend are able to find those persons that are researching some of the same families that we research. If you had ancestors that were/are in Wayne County, Tennessee you should try your best to attend. I plan to be there and will be looking for others that research the following surnames: Cooper, Balentine, Koonce, Sinclair, Roach, Hill, Duncan, Fowler, South, Randolph, Milford, Rodgers/Rogers/Rodjers, Nolan/Nolen/Noland, Sharp, Woods/Wood, Whitten, Howell, Wesson, Poindexter, Witherspoon, Horton, Ayers, Gillis, Phillips, Lee/Leigh, McKelvey, Faires/Farris, Paulk, Palmer, Lamb, Duckett, Neal, Irons, O'Kelley, Valentine, Young, Cathey, Ghrigsby and other connecting families. Stop by my table and "chat a spell". My wife is related to half of the folks in Wayne County. SteveCooper Cloverdale, Alabama STEVECOOPER75@COMCAST.NET
