Will someone please inform the list about these Family History Volumes. This is the first time I have heard of them and might possibly be interested in purchasing same if there are still some for sale. Thanks, Joyce
I thank you all for your patience toward us on the Family History II project. I ask you for a bit more patience, please as we sort out all who have pre-paid for books and have asked them to be mailed or to keep them in reserve at the museum for picking up. Since this project has gone on so long, several diffrent people at the Society have been responsible for keeping up with records of who has purchased the book and who has paid to have them mailed. I am asking that if anyone who has pre-paid for a book or several, please find the recepts or returned checks that shows payment for Volume II books. Please email the receipt number or check number, so that we can confirm all purchases. I regret the inconvenience, but I hope everyone understands that time has caused confusion. We just want to be honest and send or hand out books previously paid for. Please dig for those receipts or cancelled checks if possible. Thanks for your understanding. T Niswonger
Since most of my husband and my ancestors at least came through Arkansas, I don't know where to begin. However, the most pressing problem at the moment lies with a James Alva Martin, born 1855-1859, orphaned by 1860, married to an Elizabeth Mariah Payne. I find the two in Newton Co., Arkansas, 1880, with 2-year old son, William. It is said James A. also had an older brother, Tom. However, we cannot find birth, marriage, or the parents of James Alva or be certain of any information about Tom. If anyone has any hint of information, I shall be very grateful! Thanks, Joyce

Family History GedCom Search (http://www.dhc.net/~design/gedcom/indxpage.htm) is a new creation from Design Software. They are the makers of Family Census Research and the soon to be released Aspen 2000, a new database for cemeteries, funeral homes and obituary records. Family History GedCom Search is the brain child born from numerous e-mails wishing that Design Software would create Web pages. So that sat down and began to think just how they could accomplish this. And they have come up with a wonderful system. You supply them with a GEDCOM file and a scanned image (that will be used on the main page) and they will create a first rate Web site of your family history, which they will then place on their site. Best of all, this service is available for free. And once your page has been created and uploaded, it is then part of their database, making it searchable. Of particular interest to me as I inspected their currently available pages was that they had taken into consideration the issue of privacy. Those individuals who are still living are protected to a certain degree. While the names are still listed, all other information is hidden behind a LIVING tag. This is important in today's society. More and more, in the online genealogy world, this subject is discussed. To be able to view these family pages, your Web browser must support Java Applets. This is due to the fact that parts of the pages rely heavily on Java applets, especially the search capabilities. This is just one of the ways in which individuals can place their family history online. If you are not comfortable working with one of the Web Page creation programs, then this is the easiest way to create your Web page. It is likely that you have created a GEDCOM or scanned a picture. If you can do these two things and send e-mail, then you are all set for creating a family history Web site. --part1_0.66995ae9.25365cc7_boundary--

OUR HERITAGE WRITTEN BY CORA MABEL (CLARK) SMITH As we travel down’ life’s pathway we forget our heritage. This is not good, as we’re forgetting history. History of our country and of the forefathers. So many of our great grandfathers who fought for our independence on these grounds, of the suffering an sacrifice their families endured. The escape from bushwhackers and wild animals, Indians, an may other misfortunes that might befall upon them If you will only stop and think, that hasn’t been to long ago the blood they shed may possibly be in the spot you’re stand upon now, to preserve the freedom you now enjoy. We take this all for granted. I have been doing research on my ancestors, and I’m amazed at all I have discovered, In my discovering I have found that one of my great grandfathers came from Bledsoe County, Tennessee: Homesteaded in Newton County, Arkansas near Ponca, Newton county, Arkansas and raised his family in that area. The place he homesteaded stayed in the family for over one hundred years. Now the government has acquired this place and plans to let it go back into wilderness It being there in the Buffalo River in Newton County, Arkansas In this one hundred years, there has been several generations and they have scattered to the four winds. Some though have remained within one hundred miles of this old Homestead. That includes Harrison, Jasper, Kingston, Clarksville, Berryville, Huntsville, Springdale and Fayetteville,. Arkansas This Old Pioneer was Uncle Abraham Harvey Clark who married Sabra Ann Edgmon and it’s possible he is a descendant of the Abraham Clark Signer of the Declaration in Independence. however approximately two generation of records were destroyed in a fired that burned the courthouse in Blesdsoe County Tennessee, but do I know the Signer of the Declaration of Independence is of their lineage, or will I ever know? it’s doubtful that I’ll ever be able to find those missing links. Also I must not forget to mention another great pioneer of whom I’m a descendant and he was old Uncle James Montgomery Newberry from Osage Carroll County, Arkansas where now his old log cabin is a historical site restored and moved to Berryville. His ancestorage is a great as old Uncle Abraham’s he too coming from Tennessee.. Many of his descendents are yet in the general vicinity of a hundred miles also. James William Mcghee another of my ancestors, a pioneer who fought in the was between the states. He is buried near Elm Springs, Arkansas His wife, having died years later is buried in Monroe cemetery near Berryville, Her name was Eliza Jane (Carter) McGhee. Nelson and Becky (Plumlee) Armer also share in my heritage they also came from Tennessee, first having come to Tennessee from Georgia. Madison Newton, Carroll, Boone, and Washington Counties are full of this line of Armers. How many of are aware of this heritage? These brave people blazed the way for you and me that we might now enjoy these privileges. These are my links into the past. Each of you have Four links. Each of these links make a chain. Where do you fit in this chain? It’s a network of people who have endured hardships so that we may enjoy freedom today. Some of your ancestors may have come from Germany, Poland or Russia, but we yet all fit into this line of heritage (a chain). Where did your ancestors come from most of you know by hear - say or at least back to your great grandparents. Why not keep a record for future generations? Because you will be a forgotten name to come in the future person down the Chain if you do not. To me this is a top of great value and I feel that a great number of the readers will find it of value too. How many of the younger generations know the history of their surroundings? This is so important as the older generation are soon going to be gone and there is such a great history that will die with them. Oh how I wish I could recall a lot of the folk lore that my ancestors have told and that I’ve forgotten. This is something we all should remember to jot down. It is so valuable, the culture, the background of our ancestors, the stories they have told of their ancestors. This is our heritage and it is so valuable. I was born and raised around Kingston, Madison County, Arkansas and that is a area that is rich with heritage wealth. So many newcomers in that area now. Do they know of the history of the old timers that maybe occupied the land that they how own some know others do not. Maybe its not a great lot of value to them, but yet it is history. I have been gone from that area since September 1944. But with the Madison County Record I have been able to keep up with some of the younger generations that were descendants of several generations older than myself. How many of you can yet do that? Maybe you say that doesn’t mean anything to me but it should. I can recall my father in the cold winter time going to town approximately once a month for groceries and feed that was needed for the stock, which wasn’t much as most of the hay, corn and fodder were raised for the stock, and also corn to be ground into mean for the family’s use. He would take corn to be ground into mean, eggs to trade for coffees, sugar, flour, salt and other necessary items. He would heat a flat rock, wrap it in gunny sacks, put it in the floor of the wagon to keep warm and be gone all day. That was also a time when he would find out how his neighbors were out on Sweden Creek, or our on the Red Lick Hill or people as far away as Red Star. I can recall these incidents and I cherish them, I was small and very seldom ever went to Kingston Arkansas with my father in the winter. However , in the summer time, these trips were very important. My mother and I usually went along. This was before a cafe was ever in Kingston, Arkansas. We’d go to Billy Boydston’s store. He always kept a big round wheel of cheese in his show case. We‘d buy a wedge of cheese and crackers or we’d buy Salomon and eat salmon and crackers for lunch. This was a treat. Then the cafe came and its first proprietors were Tom and May Dorsey, and what good chili they served. Before that Wilburn and Etta Burks had a small cafe, they changed it into a variety store, but after Tom and Mary Dorsey, they sold the cafe to King and Dollie Mashburn. He was also in the Real Estate business, along with the cafe How many of the later generation can recall these people? Can you recall where Billy Boydston’s Store was? Willburn Burk’s store, or where the old post office was located? Can you remember the old swinging bridge over Kings River? To me those were they good old days. To those that don’t recall where they were located, the post office was to the right of Burl Weathers’s store. There was also a hotel located just across the road from the Bunch’s store. It was run by Henry and Clemmie Burney. How many can remember the Hugh and Wilson Bunch’s dad He was a gentleman. Alvin Bunch was a big man as I recall, but he was a man that everyone admired, A distinguished gentleman and many of the old timers there today will tell you this is true, and is yet greatly missed. So many of the present day citizens are descendants of so many well know, well liked old timers that many of the newcomers are not aware of Just the name a few of the older generations. H. T. (Tart) Lane, Elba, Uncle Jimmy Grigg, and Elizabeth, Sara Grigg, who had a sister Flora, who married a George Frisby from around Purdy, I’d like to hear from some of these if at all possible for genealogical purposes. Others are Jeff Roger, Lum and Lolar Stills, Uncle Sam Thomas, and Aunt Mandy, Uncle Booie Parker and Aunt Tennie, Aaron and Artie Gage, Uncle Jim and Aunt Lizzie Hane Seals, Smith Bradshaw, Joe Bradshaw, Loss and Edith Grigg, the Mc Ferrins, the Holts Gartons, Clines, Walls, Dorseys, McCrackens, Eaton’s, Armers just to name a few, also the Fanchers. Many of then still have descendants in the or near Kingston Arkansas today and many of them are my relation, or my ancestorage. Value your ancesterage and trace back on your family history. it is wealth. Even the skeletons that maybe lurking in your closets are history and should be preserved. I attended at Bluff Springs Arkansas. We lived at the time on the Jason Cane place, later the Slavens place. Those were the happiest days of my schooling.. My first teacher was Dalton Dotson. Which I discovered he was one of my ancestors. Many of my school mates still live in or near there to name a few Freelen Suggs, and her husband Bill Smelley Fern Suggs, Mccullough, Berniece and Rita Mc Arthur, Frank Maxine and Rhea Maxwell, Fred and Jess Carter, Midge, Berniece, Virginia and Blanche Whiteley, Leonard, Eutlena and Park FM Ferrin, Verna and Vela Holt, Murtie, Murle, Earl and Roy Styles, Grover and Wilburn, Hathorn, Leonard, Lewis and one other Thomas boy I’ve forgotten his name I’m sure they are others that I can remember at present. Those school days at Bluff Springs were days to cherish. I can yet recall the spring water. Tourists from everywhere would come and camp at this spring. I recall one tourist who came with a truck of victrolas and sold everybody one in that area. including us. I wish I had one of those old victrolas today Well those days are gone forever - cherish them and treasure them. Dig into your memory listen to others and keep note. It’s a sure way to keep track.. I am now compiling as much as I can into genealogy work and if anyone knows of any ancesterage please write me Cora Mable. (Clark) Smith 1920 Dakota N. E.

This went thru one of my other mailing lists. And I think it is a good point. I think we sometimes forget the internet provides us contacts world wide - instead of how I did it for many years of just snail mail. So we might want to completely spell out our state rather than abbreviations to not have confusion. Good luck in your search! Kathy <<<Hello: This is just a little request for the benefit of clarification. Many Americans express USA states with a 2 letter code, much of which is greek to non-Americans. I know most of the USA codes, but I still have seen mistakes made (I saw Seattle WN... would it not be WA = Washington?) Would you please type the name of the state at least the first time you use the code? In the most recent STOKES message it said "...born in MS". Is this Mississippi?... Missouri?... Massachusets? Is MA = Maine?... Maryland?...Massachusets?... Manitoba? (oops, wrong country). I saw recently "... Ontario, Ca." I assumed they meant the province of Ontario in Canada (CA is the international abbreviation for Canada). They really meant Ontario, California. Another researcher spent 6 months thinking that a WA lead was in Washington, when in actuality it was in Western Australia. Name lists are international. Do you see my point? Thanks..........Ben Whiting (in sunny Kingston, Ontario, Canada)>>>>
Hello All, My name is Clovis La Fleur. My GGrandmother was Hopie Taylor born in July of 1858 in your area. Her Father was John Taylor. I have no information on her Mothers name. I know Hopie was born in Arkansas before Boone County was formed and could have been born in one of your Counties. My Grandfather, Rev. Robert La Fleur, reported Hopie was born in Boone County on her Death Certificate. In a 1900 census, Hopie reports she was born in Arkansas, Her father was born in Arkansas, and her Mother was born in Georgia. I found a record in Book A, Boone County Early Marriages, Hopie Taylor, age 16, Married William D. Jones, age 18, Feb. 28, 1874 at the age of 16. The next record I have for Hopie is the birth of William Herbert Jones in 1882 in Woodruff County, Ark. This may have been the last child of four born to Hopie while married to Jones. Two of these may have died. In 1887-88 Hopie married my GGrandfather, Clovice Leevaso La Fleur. My Grandfather, Robert was born in 1889 in Augusta, Arkansas. Any information or ideas on the above would be appreciated. Clovis La Fleur Fredericksburg, Texas

Responses from various people. Thanks Kathy <<<This is why I stop doing them I was contacted by a book owner to not to do lookups. When I get request I delete them.>>> <<<Firstly, as USGenWeb volunteers, we should all be aware of the official policy on Copyrights and Lookups. (Do you CCs know this? Have you asked lookup volunteers to read and comply?) From http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/copyright.html "The USGenWeb Project will not tolerate any copyright violations. Lookup requests should be limited to one name, or perhaps two if it is a married couple. Information given should be minimal, for example: * If it is a cemetery lookup, the information should be the name of the cemetery and the dates on the headstone. * If someone asks for "everybody with XX surname" or an entire family group, or for hardcopies to be mailed, please advise that The USGenWeb Project volunteers have been asked not to comply with such requests. Lookups can extend to searching copyrighted material to determine if the material would be helpful to the requester in their research. Should the copyrighted material prove useful, the volunteer can provide the author's address and ordering information. The USGenWeb Project will endeavor to get a WRITTEN statement from each copyright holder which stipulates which books may be used for lookups. See Lookup Permission Statement." A list of authors who have refused to allow lookups is maintained on this web page: http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/authorno.html A list of authors who have explicitly granted permission for lookups is maintained on this web page: http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/authoryes.html Obviously, if Hearthstone Books owns the copyright to the books they publish, and they want to refuse permission for lookups, they have that right. Their name should be added to the list of those refusing permission>>> <<>>> <<>> <<<If the book is in a library anywhere, what can be wrong with looking in it rather than buying it? USGenWeb FAQ page should give insight into the copyright/lookup questions. Maybe we should contact Hearthstone and tell them we will boycot all their publications if this is their attitude?>>> <<<Lookups done under the UsGenWeb policy should be well within the "fair use" copyright laws I think. Generally if I find a lot of information I refer the person to a library which has a very resonably priced copy policy. They will copy up to 10 pages but only if specfic page numbers are given.>>> <<This is the first time I've heard of this. They can stop the advertising of look ups, but I don't see how they can stop look ups. The look ups are in private mail messages. Someone from the company would have to ask for the information maybe? Very interesting.>> <<<If you will go to http://www.iigs.org/newsletter/9904news/index.htm.en you will find a whole section on this subject, including what's OK on the web and what's not.>>> <<>>
I was recently contacted by one of my lookups from one of my websites. I am sending the question on this email to all my lists. And I will follow up with answers that I got from help lines so if you should want to delete the next email you will know it is coming. If there are others that come in the next few days due to the holidayI will forward them too. I will be notifying all my lookups and letting them make their choices as to whether they wish to continue providing the service. Thank you Kathy <<"I received this from an XXXX list that I subscribe to. Let me know what you think. Can we get in trouble doing look-ups say from the 1850 or 1860 census?" "Hi everyone! I wanted to pass along an incident which occurred on the Buckingham County mailing list. A person offering lookups from a book he purchased was contacted by the publisher specifically Hearthstone Books and told not to perform lookups as this was a violation of the copyright laws. Has anyone been contacted concerning lookups? We do quite a few lookups for people from books we've purchased and I'd like to know what everyone thinks about the above incident.">>
