I'm currently on the road and do not have access to my home account - so I can not post to the Blackburn list ( you have to post using the same email address you subscribed under ). I would like to try and get someone to post to the list and tell them that there is a postcard on auction at e-bay from a place called Blackburn Court Motel in Fort Smith, ARK. The auction ends in about 8 hours and the current price is $3.75. The item number is 385932869. My line has no connections to Ft. Smith, but someone out there probably does. I'd do it myself, but the auction will be over by the time I get home. I picked on you because you were the last one who sent a message to the list (RE:Test).

Hi, I am tracing the name in 2 places Norfolk where a William Blackburn married Ann Bishop in Yarmouth & had many kids, this is all the info I have on this one. One child was called Elizabeth b. 1812 in Yarmouth. The second one is a William Blackburn married a Elizabeth Campbell in Liverpool somewhere. They had a few kids one called William b. 1859-60 in Liverpool. These 2 William's are not the same people. One is my husband's the other is mine. Mine comes from Norfolk. Regards Jacqui Sunny Queensland.

Hello Listmates -- During the past weekend my wife and I visited one of our sons and his family in the Pittsburgh area. On Friday evening we decided to patronize a restaurant in nearby Sewickley. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that our entry into the town of Sewickley was via Blackburn Road. Do any of you know how this thoroughfare acquired its name? -- Charles A. (Al) Blackburn, Columbia MD USA

On this 4th of July I would line to honor my great great grandfather John Henry Conrad/Coonrod that served with Company G, 38th Illinois Volunteer Infantry He did an article for the newspaper in 1907 telling about his civil war experience. It's posted on IL USGEN WEB the URL is http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilcivilw/scrapbk/conradarticle.html He was taken prisoner and spent time at Pemberton, Danville and Andersonville. It's his story in his own words and I am proud to be a decedent of such a good man. Barbara Guinn

Oh! One more thing...Was the daughter's full name(the Mary E. Blackburn, born 1947) "Mary Ellen"? My dad's grandmother's name was Mary Ellen... JoAnne Blackburn Hilton

Is Red Lake, Minnesota anywhere near Warroad, Minnesota? My dad's uncle moved there to raise a family...maybe there is a connection? the dates are about right...my dad (Joseph Blackburn) was the oldest in his family-born 1918... JoAnne Blackburn Hilton

This is for fun, but we all need to read this, it could happen to us, we need to share, publish or give all are hard research efforts to someone who will treasure it J Everyone have a Happy 4th, I just updated and moved "most" of my web pages to Roots Web and have it set up for the 4th of July please stop in and say hello, I have added a few extra graphics so it may take a little longer to load but I think it's worth the effort. Be safe……Barbara New web address http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rootdigger/ ------------------- What a genealogist's nightmare!!!!!!! Dear Cousin, In response to your letter, I am sorry to inform you that grandpa "Fred" died some time back and the stuff you asked about is not available. The personal property the family did not want was sold at an estate sale. All those boxes of junk did not interest a single buyer. We were able to salvage several binders for the kids homework after we sent all the paper to the incinerator. The kids really complained about having to lug all that paper and pictures of those ugly old folks to the Dumpster. An old family Bible from the 1840's did bring $ 5.00. The one from the 1870's did not sell. There also was a bunch of floppy disks that we were able to reformat and download some games for the kids to play on their new play station. At least SOMEBODY got some good from the three generations work. I saw the fellow at a flea market a couple of weeks ago and he said he threw the Bible in the trash after nobody was interested in it. He said he got an offer for fifty cents for it, but would rather burn it than give it away. He seemed to be having a lot of success with some very nice Elvis paintings at his booth. The two aunts you asked about are also dead. They were such a delight and could talk all day long about the things papa had written about. I remember them saying something about some records that were copied from two courthouses that later burned. Neither ever wrote down a single thing. The letter you referred to was one he typed up and sent to lots of folks who wrote him. He laughed about them never getting any of his hard work as well as his Fathers and Grandfather who was in the Civil War. He guarded all the information carefully to the bitter end. I wish I could remember some of the things to help you, but I was bored to tears listening to them talk about the family members who were in the civil war and those silly pieces of paper he showed so proudly. I vaguely remember hey had some beeswax seals and something to do with the land grants that were destroyed in the courthouse fires. I wish I could remember the story about his grandfathers evening with Jefferson Davis when he was on the run. There are also some very juicy stories that were handed down, but I don't remember them very well. Another thing I remember after he got sick was some fellow calling him and he agreed to let him come down and copy all his material. He told him he would call him back when he felt better. Papa mentioned something about letting the society the man was from have all his work since nobody in the family cared anything about a bunch of people who had been dead for 200 years. Papa died the next week. I am so sorry papa and the two generations wasted so much of their life on such worthless hobbies and hope your family will follow something more interesting. We enjoy Bingo and bowling very much here in Pleasantville. I really enjoyed hearing from a long lost cousin and would like to hear back if you find anything important. The kids need the computer for their games and I need to watch the "Millionaire" show.
