Is anyone familiar with the family of Samuel Jones on the 1860 Search Co Arkansas census? Mary E Jones Marion, IL

Hi All, Thanks for the dozen responses to my "NAME" question about "OMA". The consensus was that Oma is indeed the German name for 'grandma'. Now, for my new query: My Uncle "Lee E. Treat" married DORA ROBERT around 1904 in Searcy Co. Dora's father was "J.R. ROBERTS". Does anyone have information on this ROBERTS line??? Dewayne Treat

Does anyone have a 70 Census for Washington Co AR, and could look up the family of William Franklin Fletcher?? Is there a Washington Co AR list??? I tried : ARWASH-D-request@rootsweb.com And ARWASHINGTON-D-request@rootsweb.com Neither worked. Elveta Guinn -- As the twig is bent, so grows the tree!

Hi All, In the case of my husbands gr grandmother the Omah, Oma and Omie was just a nickname for Naomi. By the way, she was born, raised, married and died in Kentucky. At least I know how she came by her nicknames but how did they get Polly for Mary?!!

Oma is German for grand mother; Opa, German for grand father. good luck dolores Dewayne Treat wrote: > > Hi all, > Ok, who is the "Name" expert???

Hi to the list: Regarding that recent query, the Biblical name is NAOMI. "OMA" may be the phonetic spelling for the familiar Old German nickname which meant "Grandmother". At least, in the German parts of my Missouri family, it did. Another curiosity which I have been told, and which is strictly heresay, is that Missourians in those days used the pronounciation MISSOURA (soft A) as distinguished from MISSOURI (long E) when they wanted to make it clear that their Missouri connections were not Native American. That would not be very politically correct (PC) today. Has anyone else out there ever heard this story, or was someone just pulling my leg? Anyway, you can take the first part, NAOMI, and "OMA" to the bank.

It could be the parents like the name. Biblical names were very popular. I have several Naomi's and not from any particular ethnic group.

Hi Dewayne:--I'm no "name" expert, but I'd guess "Naoma" is actually "Naomi." The pronunciation of words varies so much across the country and the way folks "hear" a word can be so strange that I sometimes wonder how we ever get out ancestors straight. "Oma" is probably short for "Naoma" - like a nickname. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't "Naomi" come from the bible?

Hi all, Ok, who is the "Name" expert??? I have found a great great grandma who is listed as "Naoma" in one census year and "Oma" in another. Anyone know what ethnic group this name would come from?? Is it German or Dutch??? Thanks!!! Dewayne Treat

Looking for any information about my grandfather, Columbus Christopher Shipman (or Christopher Columbus Shipman), born 1873 in Arkansas, died 1930 in Orange County, California. He married Martha O'Bannon (b. 1878 in Missouri) in approximately 1907 in Missouri. They were living in Montgomery County, Kansas at the time of the 1910 U.S. Census, with their oldest son, Haskell (b. 1908 in Oklahoma) . In 1912 they were living in Cherokee County, Oklahoma where my father, Clarence Everett was born. They moved through Texas and ended up in Orange County, California about 1920. Martha died there in 1922 and Columbus Christopher died there in 1930. I know absolutely nothing about the Shipman family prior to my grandfather. Not even his place of birth or parents names. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much, Joyce Shipman Van Mater
