I have a relative Ella Holcombe buried at Bethel Cem., the stone has only years of birth and death. I'd like to know where she died. can't find her in 1930 Census, any suggestions?

Since we have many people new to the lists and computers. I want to remind everyone tomorrow is a full moon. This is one of the occasions thru out the year that we have problems with virus attachments being sent. I try to alert the lists when I know someone had been infected on the list...otherwise you are to contact me if you suspect a problem. There are many hoax emails that will encourage you to delete files saying you have a virus. DO NOT delete anything until you have gone to McAfee.com or the Norton website to see if there is an alert and the remedy for it. Or if you have another anti virus program go tho their website for updates. Even if it is an attachment from a close friend or relative...DO NOT open the attachment unless they specifically say they have sent you an attachment and what it contains or you email them to find out if they have sent you one. I want to keep things as smooth sailing as possible for each of you...so below is an alert you might want to read to gain or refresh your knowledge. Good luck in your search! Kathy Stokes Hudson Be alert for the Hybris computer virus, also known as the Full Moon Virus or Worm, W32/Hybris.gen@MM, W95.Hybris.gen, and other variations of the Hybris name. The virus replicates itself by watching for e-mail addresses in incoming and outgoing e-mails and then sending itself, in the form of a mail attachment, to those addresses. This virus infects Windows systems only, including Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, and 2000. Your computer becomes infected when you open the attachment. If your computer is infected, anyone with whom you exchange e-mails may receive unexpected e-mails with the virus attachment, from your screen name. The e-mails may have the subject line, "Snowhite and the Seven Dwarfs - The Real Story," and an attachment with a name of "sexy virgin.scr" or "joke.exe" or "midgets.scr" or "dwarf4you.exe." Some variations of this e-mail and virus may have different subject lines and/or attachment names. If you receive an email with this heading, DO NOT download the attachment. What does the Hybris virus do? The Hybris virus downloads a variety of plug-ins from the Internet, and each plug-in could affect your computer differently. The most common plug-in displays a spiral graphic on your computer and prevents you from using Windows. The virus follows an internal clock, and downloads plug-ins on days when the moon is full. The virus usually infects the Wsock32.dll file in Windows, and may corrupt and damage this file during each full moon. If your Wsock32.dll file becomes damaged, you may be unable to reach the Web, and you may experience Windows errors like General Protection Faults in Modules "<Unknown>," "Wsock32.dll," and "Kernel32.dll." While most of the damage may happen on or around the full moon, the virus may create problems any time. The Hybris virus is also known by the names: W32/Hybris.gen@MM, W95.Hybris.gen, and other variations of the Hybris name. This virus infects Windows systems only, including Windows 95, 98, ME, NT 4.0, and 2000. What can I do? An infected computer may lock up and have other operating problems. If you suspect you are infected with the Hybris virus, update your anti-virus software and scan your hard drive, following the software manufacturer's instructions. Recently updated anti-virus software should detect and remove the virus.

Thanks, I've sent off a request to the County Court for the marriage Cert. I was looking for. Currently, the cost is $5.00 for a Certified copy. When I called for information, the lady was very nice.

To get copies of marriages, wills, land deeds, divorces, naturalizations, birth, death etc. You will need to contact the court house in the county seat. You will first need to send a query; giving the name(s) and at least a 10 year time frame if you don't know the exact date and the item such as marriage you are wanting and the fee of the item you are wanting. Be sure to include a SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) When you get your reply send your remittance again with a SASE. Not all counties required birth or death records to be recorded at any time. AR did not require birth and deaths to be recorded until 1914. Sometimes it may take several months to get a reply. On one instance on a trip to AL I found a stack of envelopes with my query from 6 months prior in the stack. It will just depend on the county and what kind of load they have and the amount of employees. Some county societies take care of this for the courthouse. Good luck in your search! Kathy Stokes Hudson

What is the best way to write for a marriage, birth or death record? Can I get them from the county seat? and do I have to write first for a form, Or can I just send money and get one back if I give dates etc. They are for the year 1886 and 1889 Thanks, M

As most of you know AR did not require vital statistics to be taken until 1914. But there are some counties that did require it in scattered years prior to 1914. In 1942 when it was mandatory to have birth records for social security and military service more than 300,000 births was registered. AGS (AR Genealogical Society) was permitted several years ago to begin indexing "prior" births. This year AGS made available a cd anda published book with this information. It will contain an index to those born between 1849 and 1902 (AR has a 100 year privacy act). The published book has the same information but with the cd you can cross reference names...rather than just by the child's name (for instance if you want a list of all the children by a particular mother). If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the cd or book available thru AGS (AR Genealogical Society) Contact Marge Hubbard if you have any questions or wish to order either...you can email her at: MHubbardAR@aol.com The CD is $30.00 postpaid. The hardbound book is $60.00 postpaid. If you find the person(s) you are looking for you can then order the document from: AR Department of Health Division of Vital Records 4815 West Markham Slot 44 Little Rock AR 72205-3867 (501) 661.2726 or go to the website: <A HREF="www.healthyarkansas.com">www.healthyarkansas.com</A> to down load an application. Or you can order the information from the website: <A HREF="www.vitalchek.com">www.vitalchek.com</A> To order this from the state of AR be sure to put on the top of the form "PRIOR BIRTH RECORDS, BINDER I, 1942 This last website does have the other state listings. Hope this helps you in your research! Good luck in your search! Kathy Stokes Hudson

I hope that everyone had happy and safe holidays. I hope this years brings new information to your research! As always we will be getting new members to the list at this time of year...be patient and polite as we were all once new to mailing lists. To those new to mailing lists, to get a response from a query..always post the name you are searching and the time frame in your subject line. In your message be brief but give vital information such as names and dates and what information you are searching. If you click reply on an email sent thru the list and it is not the same subject...be sure to change the subject line. The website has been updated. Thank you to all those who submitted information! Without you we would not have a successful site. You will find it now has a search engine. Remember if someone has submitted a varied spelling of the name you are searching you may not come up with a successful result.You will also notice on the "I Have Photos" page I am no longer taking family photos. I will post your "title" of the photo along with your email address for other researchers to contact you to share your family photo. The only photos I will post is to the county photo page. These may have people (and you may identify them) in the photo but it must be pertaining more to the county such as school, county reunion of some sort, people in front of say a bank etc. Thank you & good luck in your search!

William Young, was born December 26, 1815, supposedly in North Carolina, or now currently South Carolina, deceased December 2, 1854, buried "Jackson's Crossing" now known as or near the town of Anniston, Alabama, which town is now the County Seat of Calhoun County, Alabama, situated in the northeast section of Alabama, directly east of Birmingham. Brother to: Robert M. Young, born in Greenville District, South Carolina, on October 7, 1826, deceased on December 11, 1898, buried in the Wynn Cemetery at Center Point, Howard County, Arkansas. _______________________________________________ I have tried to organize information and research on two brothers, William and Robert M. Young. Robert M. Young is my gggrandfather. I am trying to find a direct link to their father which most likely lived somewhere in South Carolina, near Greenville District, in 1820 to 1830, or longer, assuming that William was born in 1815 (location unknown), and Robert M. was born in 1826 in Greenville District, S.C. William Young who was married to the of Nancy Young (described below in excerpt). Research of census records on Robert M. Young and other Young's living in the same areas at the same time are as follows. 1850 Census - Calhoun County Alabama. The census lists that Robert M. Young was a farmer and that he owned some acres of farm land in 1850. They were living in the area of Jackson's Crossing now known as, or near the town of Anniston, Alabama, which is now the County Seat of Calhoun County, Alabama. He and his wife Hanna are listed with two children (ages 3 and 6 months). Robert M. Young was listed as being 22. The census lists that William Young also lived in the same county of Alabama and farmed 600 acres of land. According to the excerpt above, these Young's moved from Alabama in 1859 to head west to new lands opened up and available to settled. 1860 Census - Sevier County Arkansas. The census lists that Robert M. Young was a farmer. No real estate or personal value is listed. It appears that at this time he had no assets. His age is listed at 32. He and his wife, Hanna, have 3 girls ages 12, 10, and 9, and one son age 6. They are included on the Saline Township of Sevier County. Nancy Ford Young, the widow of his brother, William Young, is also listed as living in the Saline Township of Sevier County with her family. Her oldest child, Adolphus, is age 19 and living in the same household with five other brothers and sisters. The census film was poor, but it appears that she owned real estate valued at $3,500 and had personal assets of $550. James Turquette and wife, Natalia Ann Young Turquette (William and Nancy's daughter), are listed next on the same census sheet as also living in Saline Township. They have one child age 8 months listed as Malisse. Their personal estate is valued at $50. 1870 Census - Sevier County Arkansas. Robert M. Young is listed at age 40 with a wife and two daughters ages 18 & 16, and one son age 13. No value has been listed for real estate and a $500 value has been listed on his personal estate. He is listed as a farmer. The location is now listed as Blue Bayou Township. 1880 Census - Howard County Arkansas. Robert M. Young is listed as age 53 with wife, Hanna, listed as 49. Their daughter Jane C. Young is still living with them. Their Son Robert Francis Young, age 25, and wife Sallie K age 22, are listed as living in the same household. Both of the men are listed as farm laborers. 1900 Census - Howard County Arkansas The census records indicate that Robert Francis Young (son of Robert M. Young) family had a boarder living with them. His name was Edgar B. Allen, white male, born August 1882, age 17, single, born in Arkansas, father from "unknown", mother from "Illinois". He is listed as a farm laborer. [I assume he was a farm laborer working for Robert Francis Young now shown as owning his farm land free and clear of mortgage.] ___________________________________________________ Cemetery Robert M. Young and his wife Hanna Young, are buried in the same cemetery with their son Robert Francis Young, in the Wynn Cemetery, Center Point, Howard County, Arkansas. This cemetery is located at the end of an unpaved country road. The cemetery is secluded in a wooded area, as if it were privately owned. I have photos of the headstones for these each of these individuals. Robert Francis Young's wife, Sally Katherine "Kate" Young, is buried in a different cemetery. I also have pictures and information on this cemetery and headstone. __________________________________________________ Howard County Arkansas History Book. I have purchased the Howard County Arkansas County history "Heritage" book printed in 1988. The index lists two full columns of names for Young's. There are many family stories listed. I have been unable to sort out which if any of these families are relatives. However, there is one YOUNG family of note that has to tie in somewhere. Emmett Puttman Young born in South Carolina, youngest of 8, came to Arkansas from Alabama before the Civil War. His children's names are John Pierce, Amsier "Bud", Mary (called Molly), Jenny (her children's names Pearl, Peirce, and Linnie), Sarah Melissa (her children's name John Harris, James Porter, William McGee, Melinda Elizabeth, Herbert Jackson, and Annie Lee), Mossy, William G. (children's names Fannie, William, Rosa, Arch, Dave, Harrison, Danny, and Sarah Corneille called DeeDee). There is a listing of which I have reproduced below: "The Old Log House, William and Nancy Ford Young. Nancy Ford Young built the old log house located between Nashville and the Country Club. It is a historical landmark, barely visible on the left side of the Country Club Road and a little beyond the Temperanceville Creek Bridge. Nancy Ford Young was born in 1815 in South Carolina. William Young was born in 1815 in North Carolina. They were married in South Carolina in 1838. They moved from South Carolina to Jackson's Crossing near Anniston, Alabama, in 1844, where William was listed in the census as a farmer. He died in 1854, and in 1859 Nancy came to Arkansas by ox cart with her children. She died in 1881. Children of William and Nancy Ford Young: 1. Adolphus Pearson Marion LaFayette Young born 1840 in South Carolina, died in 1862. 2. Natalia Anastasia Octavia Gabriella (Ann) Young born 1842 in South Carolina, died in 1865. 3. Malisse Macrear Helen Decataleen (Polly) Young born 1844 in South Carolina, died in 1933. 4. Perry Calhoun Calvin Dekalb (Cal) Young born 1845 in Alabama, died in 1922. 5. Pierce Marion Butler Winfield Scott Young born 1847 in Alabama, died in ????. 6. Bowden Collier Sumter Moultrie Young born 1850 in Alabama, died in 1926. 7. Cornelia Berita Conela Armaminta (Sally) Young born 1852 in Alabama, died in 1908. Adolphus, the oldest child, was killed at the age of 21 in the Civil War in 1862 was buried at Pine Bluff. Ann married James Turquet (later Turquette). James was in the Civil War, 19th Regiment, Battle of Arkansas Post, where he was taken prisoner. James was taken by boat to St. Louis, Missouri, and on to Camp Douglas, near Chicago, Illinois. (Between 3,800 and 4,000 prisoners were taken from Arkansas Post engagement to Chicago.) Between January 27 and February 18, 1863, at Camp Douglas, 260 prisoners died of exposure to cold, malnutrition, or smallpox. James died February 15, 1863, at Camp Douglas. James's wife, Ann Young, died in 1865, leaving two small children, Cynthia and James. They were reared by their maternal grandmother, Nancy Ford Young. Cal Young fought in the Civil War at Vicksburg, Mississippi. He ate mule meat to keep from starving. After the war, he worked for the salt plant on the Saline River below Mineral Springs where he cut wood to use for boiling out salt. He earned two dollars a week. In politics he was an Independent and was defeated in "foul play." Cal was very religious and was a member of the Wakefield Methodist Church. Submitted be Zanza Isbell." ______________________________________________ Some excerpts from: Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives, Washington, AR, 71862 Prepared by E.E. Turquette, Dallas, Texas. "Natalia Ann Young, (the mother of James William LaFayette Turquette), was born September 27, 1842, in Calhoun County Alabama, the Daughter of William Young and Nancy Ford Young. Natalia Ann Young married James M.Turquette on January 13, 1859, in Alabama. She died on October 20, 1865, in Howard County, Arkansas, and was buried in Bluff Springs Cemetery, some six (6) miles west of Nashville, Arkansas, in Howard County, Arkansas. Natalia Ann Young Turquette's parents, William Young, (her father), was born December 26, 1815, supposedly in Alabama. He died December 2, 1854, in Alabama, and was buried in Birmingham, Alabama. Nancy Ford Young, (her mother), was born in 1815 (no month and day recorded, only the year 1815 inscribed on her tomb. She died in Howard County, Arkansas, on July 6, 1881, at the age of 66 years and was buried in the Bluff Springs Cemetery west of Nashville, Howard County, Arkansas. The following related data regarding the YOUNG family has been obtained from various sources and are considered as true and correct information: William Young and his wife Nancy Ford Young lived in Calhoun County, Alabama, where their eight (8) children were born to their union. Four (4) boys and four (4) daughters prior to the death of William Young on December 2, 1854. The first-born child, a daughter, was stillborn on November 14, 1839. After the death of William Young in 1854, his widow and the four (4) boys and the (3) daughters continued to live and reside in Calhoun County, Alabama, until about 1859. When the family left what is know as "Jackson's Crossing" now know as or near the town of Anniston, Alabama, which town is now the County Seat of Calhoun County. [Situated in the North East section of Alabama, directly east of Birmingham.] Their ultimate destination was to be Texas, but they stopped and settled near Mineral Springs, in Howard County, Arkansas, just prior to the War Between the States. Natalia Ann Young, the older daughter of the widowed Nancy Ford Young, was at that time of their leaving Jackson's Crossing about seventeen (17) years of age, and was in love with James M. Turquette and they were married in Alabama on January 13, 1859. So Natalia Ann and her husband, James M. Turquette, along with Nancy Ford Young and her children started for Texas in covered wagons. Due to the sparsely populated area in Howard County, Arkansas, where they lived with their grandmother Nancy Ford Young on a farm, there were no schools of any consequence for them to attend; therefore neither of them obtained very much education, and all they knew was to work about the farm at what was necessary to produce the necessities for their survival. Food, clothing, and the like made by their own hands. They knew very little, or anything, about their parents, only what was related to them while children, by their grandmother Young, and their two Aunts, and their Uncles Bowden Young and Cal Young." End of Excerpts Southwest Arkansas Regional Archives, Washington, AR, 71862 Prepared by E.E. Turquette, Dallas, Texas. _____________________________________________________________ Another Young was living in much of the same places with these at the same times. His name is Ezekiel Young. I believe him to somehow be related as a father, uncle, or brother to Robert M. Young and William Young. I have information that I believe places these families (Ezekiel, Robert M, and William) to be originated from or tied to the Captain William Young family out of Greenville, South Carolina. I have tried in vain to connect Robert M. Young, directly on my uplink to this or another Young family in North or South Carolina. I have a feeling that Robert M. Young's middle name will be "Marion" named after the revolutionary war hero or possibly Maxwell. Many family names match those in the family of Captain William Young, and I believe this family must have some connection. The Robert M. Young born to Captain William Young in 1798 would be the wrong date and generation. My gggrandfather Robert Young, per his headstone, was born on October 7, 1826, which would be near the date of the death of Captain William Young, December 7, 1826. However, I have suspicion that my Robert M. Young (and his brother William) are probably the sons of one of Captain William Young's sons, Ezekiel, William, Robert M, John, or Joseph. Captain Williams Young's other sons would be too young to be a father in 1826. I have a copied a page from a DAR book, Texas Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, Roster, Revolutionary Ancestors, Volume IV, R-Z, page 2378, regarding Captain William Young. Captain William Young: "William Young, born in Loudoun County, Va. on July, 21, 1759; died in Greenville, S. C., on December 7, 1826. Married Mary Salmon in 1793. She was born 1775 and died August 3, 1847. Service: Joined army at age 16 and served to the end of the war. Wounded at the siege of Augusta. Rose to rank of Captain of Calvary after having served previously in the Infantry. Fought at King's Mountain, Cowpens, Augusta, Savannah, and in all engagements on both sides of the Savannah River. Greenville, South Carolina. Children of Captain William Young and Mary Salmon Young: 1. Ezekiel 2. William (M.D.), born 1796 3. Robert M. (M.D.), born 1798, Married Caroline Jones. 4.

" End Of Text from DAR. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ My Research of census records and other sources help me feel confident of my ancestors and links up / back to Robert M. Young: Robert M. Young, born in Greenville District, South Carolina, on October 7, 1826, deceased on December 11, 1898, buried in Center Point, Howard County Arkansas. I have made a trip to Center Point, Arkansas, and have a photo of this headstone. He is buried next to his son, Robert Francis Young, born 1-22-1855, Anniston, Calhoun County, Alabama, and deceased 9-12, 1929, buried Center Point, Howard County, Arkansas. He married Sallie Catherine "Katy" Alexander on December 30, 1879. I have a photocopy of this Marriage License from the Howard County archives. One of the witnesses that signed the marriage license is his father, signed as R. M. Young. The other witness that signed the marriage license is his brother-in-law, John L. Hill, married to his sister, Margaret Adelia E. Young. My grandfather, John Thomas Young (son of Robert Francis Young), was born in Dierks, Howard County, Arkansas, on 7-3-1883. He married my grandmother, Ida Frances Bedwell, on 9-19-1904, in Center Point, Howard County, Arkansas. I have information on this branch of family, from John Thomas Young, that were culled from records from local historical libraries, census records, county clerks' records from different counties, and photos of head stones from cemeteries which I have visited in my search for ancestors. I have written to all of the Young's, on the property tax rolls for Howard County, Arkansas (in 1988) which has led me to some information on different family members and branches. But my research has still been in vain to connect Robert M. Young, to a family in the Greenville, S.C. area (where he is reportedly born). Anyone that can help me tie my family line of Robert M. Young into any line in North or South Carolina would be greatly appreciated. I hope the research and information listed here will be of help or interest to some of you as well. Johnny W. Young born in 1954, Texas. Please email me at: jwycpa@aol.com or write me at: 5109 82nd Street, Suite 7, PMB#217, Lubbock, TX 79424-3023 Any old photos, letters, or references to listings in books would be greatly appreciated. Hoping to find many new cousins throughout the USA. _________________________________________________

Yes the LDS has microfilmed the marriages and I believe they are on file at the AR History Commission. According to the researcher they was allowed to copy information from the book. BUT who knows how long that will be permissable. I just want you to know so if you do go to Howard Co for research that you are not able to copy old marriages. Thank you & good luck in your search!

Have the records from Howard County been microfilmed? If they have they should be available in Little Rock and in the LDS library.

I got this email from a researcher who went to the courthouse in Howard Co Friday: >I went on my first visit to the court house Friday and decided to get a couple of pages on marriages.I found out on the older ones that you can not get a copy because the pages are in such bad shape.< Sorry to hear this will effect many of you on your research. Good luck in your search! Kathy Stokes Hudson
