Hi Just a thought on the subject of back-ups. You can always post a copy of your data file in a back-up directory on your web site. Its generally pretty safe there and off site in case disaster happens to your equipment.

William Bates married Emma (Sorry! I don't know her last name.). I can bet it was in New York (Around Syracuse, maybe?) and probably about 1875 (Give or take five years). Their children were: Mable, who married Milo Weaver and Grace, who married Raymond Woodhull. Does this connect with anyone? Please.........Help! Thanks, Sooz

They have at least 8 children, all born in Quebec: William Bates - born 1856 Isabella Bates - born April 5, 1858. Marries David Alexander Young Robert James Bates - born 1861 Mary Jane Bates - born November 1861. Married William Young Alfred Walter Bates - born 1863 George Alexander Bates born 1866 Edith Emiline Bates - born 1868 Samuel Nathanial Bates - born 1872 I have quite a bit on info on Isabella & Mary Jane's descendants (they married Young brother's and settled in a small town called Avoca, Quebec) and am willing to share. Thanks for your time & happy hunting to all. Stacey ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Sharyn, Sandy Bates Here: I believe the Newsletter you speak of must be from The Va. Bates Association. I am with the National Bates Association who's ancestors originated mostly out of New England. As the Association grew more family lines were discovered and added to the association, from other parts of the United States, and other countries. The VA Bates Association person is Wayne Witt Bates. Hope this helps, and someone from there answers your question. Sincerely Sandy Bates

Hi Nancy, Re your message. The little I have says: The name of BATES is believed to have been derived from Bartholomew's son. Batte or Bate stood for Bartholomew and the "s" stood for son. This is the most generally accepted belief but some family historians state that the name is from the Anglo-Saxon word "bate" meaning "contention". The name was frequently spelled without the "s" on ancient records. - From: The Name and Family of Bates Compiled by: The Media Research Bureau, Washington, D.C. Hope this adds a little to other info which I am sure you will receive.
