Thank you to all of you who have been so helpful with the DAR index and looking up my Zephaniah Beall. There sure are a lot of nice people out there! Virginia Patricelli

Greetings, I am just beginning to search for information on my gr gr gr grandmother, Eunice Beals of Massachusetts, born Nov. 4, 1791 married Isaac Gardiner Blanchard March 23, 1809. d. March 30, 1867 in Stoughton, Mass. Her father's name in our family records is listed as Eleazor Beals, her mother's name as Sarah (no last name). So far I've found no information on Beals in Massachusetts when searching on- line. If anyone has information, I would appreciate it - Dale Anne Blanchard Ohio

As an official new newbie... I had to write & tell you guys I did my first bit of investigation & got more than I had dreamed I would!!! My g.g.grandfather, Dr. Henry Clay Beall, was said to have gone to med school at WA U in St Louis, MO around 1900. I called & got directed to the medical school archivist who couldn't find him in the list of grads around 1900. The archivist did look in the AMA doctor listing (around 1900) & found him in there... it said that he graduated from med school in 1880, when the school was called "MO Medical College" (which later became the WA U med school!) I have a 1902 diploma from further training he took at a "policlinic" in Chicago, (which the archivist explained was a post-doctoral training in "european-style" medicine). The AMA listing said that he was licensed (in CO, at least) in 1903. Anyway, that led the guy there to look him up in a card file they have of turn of the century alumni... he FOUND him... there was an index card that confirmed when he went to school and also had a note (addendum) typed on the card (which he said is VERY unusual) that said that "Dr. Henry Clay Beall, a veteran confederate soldier, practiced for 13 years in Cortez, CO and died on Nov 7, 1913 at his daughter's home in Dewitt MO, from pneumonia." CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT???? :) I didn't have a death date (just the year) and I didn't even know which side he'd fought in the civil war! Now I have confirmation of all that & the med school stuff... The archivist is going to snail mail me a photocopy of the card & hopefully of the AMA listing, too... I am SO PUMPED... wow!!! :) Sorry to ramble on, but I'm so excited I had to share with you! Anyone who would like a copy of his info (once I get it) let me know & I'll be glad to snail mail a photocopy or email a .jpg of the card and policlinic diploma. Jen

DAR PATRIOT INDEX-Centennial Edition, Copyright 1994, NSDAR, has the following: Zephaniah, b c 1720 MD d 7- - 1801 PA m Keziah White Pritchard Maj MD Hope this gives you the information you need. Good Hunting! Chuck

Searching for info about Simon Lee BALES/BAYLES b. 6-3-1894 in Markland, IN. M. Lucy MC CREARY, f. William BALES. Married Marie Frick 6-1918 in Indianapolis. Had 2 children Bernice Hellen Bayles Hazlett and Margaurite Bayles Hensley. He left Indianapolis around 1920 and was known to be in Madison Heights, MI at one time. Need information about family after 1920, where did he go, who are his childredn, and when and where did he die

The posting about making thousands of dollars is ILLEGAL despite what the person wrote it is a pyramid. If in doubt call the Post Office and ask to talk to a Postal Inspector.

I was surfing today and found information on MD BEALL's at the MDGenWEb site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mdannear/firstfam/belt/fowndx.htm#BEALL Thought some of you might find it interesting. Judy jkonig@msn.com

Is anyone researching the above name? My husband has some Civil War Fact cards that give information on him. 1835 - February 24, 1865 He was a Virginian in the Confederate 2nd Virginian Infantry Regiment at the age of 26 and fought in the 1st Battle of Bull Run as a part of the Stonewall Brigade. I'll be happy to post the rest of the information if anyone is interested. Judy jkonig@msn.com

Subject: GET LEGAL CASH IN MAIL W/ ONLY $5.00 READ THIS YOU WON'T BE SORRY, I WASN'T This will be the quickest way to get cash in the mail.If you follow these instructions carefully, you will be able to receive within two months nearly $50,000.00. The great part is is that $5.00 isn't really a whole lot and it could just be worth a try. I am currently 6 months pregnant and my husband and I are in debt. We both have really good professions but he has massive student loans and credit card bills (I was lucky and my father helped me through college). Needless to say, since we are married to one another I acquired his debt also. In any case, I followed these easy steps thinking that I really had nothing to lose and guess what? The first week I started getting money in the mail! I was shocked! I still figured it would end soon. The money just kept coming in. In my first week, I made about $20.00 to $30.00 dollars. By the end of the second week I had made a total of over $1,000.00!!!!!! In the third week I had over $10,000.00 and it's still growing. This is now my fourth week and I have made a total of just over $42,000.00 and it's still coming in ....... You send $1.00 to each of the 5 names and address stated in the article. You then place your own name and address in the bottom of the list at #5, and post the article in at least 200 newsgroups. (There are thousands) and that is all. Let me tell you how this works and most importantly, Why it works....also, make sure you print a copy of this article NOW, so you can get the information off of it as you need it. The process is very simple and consists of 3 easy steps: Like most of us, I was a little skeptical and a little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-725-2161) and they confirmed that it is indeed legal! Seriously, your story will sound like this one if you participate by doing the following: STEP 1: Get 5 separate pieces of paper and write your address on each piece of paper along with "PLEASE PUT ME ON YOUR MAILING LIST." Now get 5 $1.00 bills and place ONE inside EACH of the 5 pieces of paper so th e bill will not be seen through the envelope to prevent thievery. Next, place one paper in each of the 5 envelopes and seal them. You should now have 5 sealed envelopes, each with a piece of paper stating the above phrase and a $1.00 bill. What you are doing is creating a service by this. THIS IS PERFECTLY LEGAL! Mail the 5 envelopes to the following addresses: #1 Corey McNear 233 Olive st. West Reading, PA 19611 #2 R. M. 66 Navesink Drive Monmouth Beach, NJ 07750 #3 Sam 27248 Grano Avenue Saugus, CA 91350 #4 Pat anderson 41 pilote st-ambroise Pq #5 Nick Austin 12318 Dollar Lk dr Fenton, MI 48430-9734 STEP 2: Now take the #1 name off the list that you see above, move the other names up (2 becomes 1, 3 becomes 2, etc...) and add YOUR Name as number 5 on the list. STEP 3: Change anything you need to, but try to keep this article as close to original as possible. Now, post your amended article to at least 200 newsgroups. (I think there is close to 18,000 groups) All you need is 200, but remember, the more you post, the more money you make! Don't know HOW to post in the newsgroups? Well do exactly the following: FOR NETSCAPE USERS: 1) Click on any newsgroup, like normal. Then click on "To News", which is in the top left corner of the newsgroup page. This will bring up a message box. 2) Fill in the SUBJECT with a flashy title, like the one I used, something to catch the eye!!! 3) Now go to the message part of the box and retype this letter exactly as it is here, with exception of your few changes. (remember to add your name to number 5 and move the rest up) 6 4) When your done typing in the WHOLE letter, click on 'FILE' above the send button. Then, 'SAVE AS..' DO NOT SEND YOUR ARTICLE UNTILL YOU SAVE IT. (so you don't have toype this 200 times :-) 5) Now that you have saved the letter, go ahead and send your first copy! (click the 'SEND' button in the top left corner) 6) This is where you post all 200! OK, go to ANY newsgroup article and click the 'TO NEWS' button again. Type in your flashy subject in the 'SUBJECT BOX', then go to the message and place your cursor here. Now click on 'ATTACHMENT' which is right below the 'SUBJECT BOX'. Click on attach file then find your letter wherever you saved it. Click once on your file then click 'OPEN' then click 'OK'. If you did this right , you should see your filename in the 'ATTACHMENT BOX' and it will be shaded. NOW POST AWAY! FOR INTERNET EXPLORER: It's just as easy, holding down the left mouse button, highlight this entire article, then press the 'CTRL' key and 'C' key at the same time to copy this article. Then print the article for your records to have the names of those you will be sending $1.00 to. Go to the newsgroups and press 'POST AN ARTICLE' type in your flashy subject and click the large window below. Press 'CTRL' and 'V' and the article will appear in the message window. **BE SURE TO MAKE YOUR ADDRESS CHANGES TO THE 5 NAMES.** Now re-highlight the article and re-copy it so you have the changes.... then all you have to do for each newsgroup is 'CTRL' and 'V' and press 'POST'. It's that easy!! THAT'S IT! All you have to do is jump to different newsgroups and post away, after you get the hang of it, it will take about 30 seconds for each newsgroup! **REMEMBER, THE MORE NEWSGROUPS YOU POST IN, THE MORE MONEY YOU WILL MAKE!! BUT YOU HAVE TO POST A MINIMUM OF 200** **If these instructions are too complex to follow, try Forte's "Free Agent." It is freeware for noncommercial use. To download it, simply use a search utility and type "Forte Free Agent". You should be able to find it.** That's it! You will begin receiving money from around the world within days! You may eventually want to rent a P.O. Box due to the large amount of mail you receive. If you wish to stay anonymous, you can invent a name to use, as long as the postman will deliver it. **JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE ADDRESSES ARE CORRECT.** Now the WHY part: This entire principle works because it is in a format of an upside down tree with thousands of branches. Everyone below you will see to it that the tree continues because they want to get money. Those below THEM will continue because THEY want to get the cash etc. Out of 200 postings, say I receive only 5 replies (a very low example). So then I made $5.00 with my name at #5 on the letter. Now, each of the 5 persons who just sent me $1.00 make the MINIMUM 200 postings, each with my name at #4 and only 5 persons respond to each of the original 5, that is another $25.00 for me, now those 25 each make 200 MINIMUM posts with my name at #3 and only 5 replies each, I will bring in an additional $125.00! Now, those 125 persons turn around and post the MINIMUM 200 with my name at #2 and only receive 5 replies each, I will make an additional $626.00! OK, now here is the fun part, each of those 625 persons post a MINIMUM of 200 letters with my name at #1 and they each only receive 5 replies, that just made me $3,125.00!!! With a original investment of only $5.00! AMAZING! And as I said 5 responses is actually VERY LOW! Average is probable 20 to 30! So lets put those figures at just 15 responses per person. Here is what you will make: at #5 $15.00 at #4 $225.00 at #3 $3,375.00 at #2 $50,625.00 at #1 $759,375.00 When your name is no longer on the list, you just take the latest posting in the newsgroups, and send out another $5.00 to names on the list, putting your name at number 5 and start posting again. The thing to remember is that thousands of people all over the world are joining the Internet and reading these articles everyday, JUST LIKE YOU are now!! And this will go on and on and on and on.... get the picture? Well, there's 5,000,000,000 people on the world and most of them will eventually end up being hooked into the internet. So there are virtually unlimited resources. Of course this will work the best at the very beginning so the faster you post, the better for YOU! People have said, "what if the plan is played out and no one sends you the money? So what! What are the chances of that happening when there are tons of new honest users and new honest people who are joining the Internet and newsgroups everyday and are willing to give it a try? Estimates are at 20,000 to 50,000 new users, every day, with thousands of those joining the actual Internet. Remember, play FAIRLY and HONESTLY and this will work. You just have to be honest. Make sure you print this article out RIGHT NOW, also. Try to keep a list of everyone that sends you money and always keep an eye on the newsgroups to make sure everyone is playing fairly. Remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. You don't need to cheat the basic idea to make the money!! GOOD LUCK to all and please play fairly and reap the huge rewards from this, which is tons of extra CASH. **By the way, if you try to deceive people by posting the messages with y name in the list and not sending the money to the rest of the people already onhe list, you will NOT get as much. Someone I talked to knew someone who did that and he only made about $150.00, and that's after seven or eight weeks! Then he sent the 5 $1.00 bills, people added him to their lists, and in 4-5 weeks he had over $10k. This ishe fairest and most honest way I have ever seen to share the wealth of the world without costing anything but our time!!! You also may want to buy mailing and e-mail lists for future dollars. Please remember to declare your extra income. Thanks once again...

Absolutely riveting description Ed. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Beall [SMTP:Beall@jps.net] Sent: Thursday, February 05, 1998 2:03 PM To: BEALL-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [BEALL-L] LOCH NESS LOCH NESS by Ed Beall We had brunch in Ft. William, a rough-hewn, sluiced-out kind of town. (The latitude of Ft. William is approximately the same as the center of Hudson Bay.) It was a bonny day, bright sunshine and a few fluffy clouds, and spirits were high as our bus headed north toward Inverness. The highway followed the chain of lochs and canals that mark the geological fault that nearly splits Scotland in two. We sang a few songs and enjoyed the wild beauty of the land, sometimes skirting the shore of a loch, sometimes wayfaring through beautiful woodlands or admiring a fine example of Scottish baronial archirecture as we passed by the manor of a local laird. The English tour director told some ethnic jokes about Scotsmen. We took the microphone away from him and told some ethnic jokes about Englishmen. Suddenly, it seemed, we descended from a winding stretch of road through a sort of pass and came upon a large, but narrow and steep-sided loch that stretched away to the north. In the space of a few seconds the mood changed. Here, a low-lying layer of clouds cut off the sun and the land lay barren and cheerless in shadow. The dull, leaden appearance of the loch gave no cause for cheer. The bus stopped and those of us who alighted found ourselves being whipped by gusts of a chill wind that blew steadily from south to north. Most stayed in the bus. Some wrapped themselves in their jackets and walked a few yards to inspect a couple of highland cattle that were browsing nearby; smallish dark-red animals with shaggy hair hanging from their bellies almost to the ground. Only two of us started down the path to the ruins of Castle Urquhart near the shore of the loch. The castle had once guarded a point of land that jutted out toward the water. From a distance it seemed that two of the towers were still standing, but up closer they were nothing but snaggle-toothed empty shells of gray stone. A few pieces of walls stood among thickets of brambles and climbing weeds. It was a gloomy place, calling to mind visions of the claymore cleaving neck from shoulder, the treacherous thrust of the dirk, drops of blood congealing on stone steps. Seen close up, the water was the color of weak coffee, darkened by layers of peat in the soil around the loch. The wind blew patches of ripples scudding along the surface and giving an eerie appearance of motion in the water. The other man had already returned to the bus. Shivering, I pulled my jacket close around me and strode briskly back up to join the others. Later, in the public room of the hotel in Inverness, I sat with three of the local gentlemen, sipping the incomparable locally-made Scotch whiskey and looking out over the River Ness. ("Inver" means "mouth of the river".) As an American tourist, I had to ask the obvious question and it was time to get on with it. "Well, then," I said. " Is there really a monster up in the loch?" One of the Scotsmen across the table took a thoughtful sip of Scotch. "I don't know why they call her a monster," he said, in a thick Scottish burr. "She's never done harm to anyone, has she?" ***

Ed, Loved your descriptions of this place! Virginia

Thanks Cindi. I'll check again. I didn't find him the first time. Virginia
