    1. Re: [BRAY-L]BRAY in GA
    2. Marianne Gilbert
    3. Hi Kenneth, Welcome to the BRAY list. Do you happen to know any family information about the Rev. Thomas BRAY of Shropshire, England, who came to GA to educate slaves? *The New Century Cyclopedia of Names Vol. 1* says about him: BRAY, Thomas. b. at Marton, Shropshire, England 1656; d. at London, Feb. 15, 1730. English clergyman and philanthropist. Selected (1699) by the bishop of London to advance the cause of the Anglican Church in Maryland, he organized a society for the propagation of gospel teaching in the British colonies. Some family information I have says that my ggg grandmother, Sarah BRAY, b. in 1763 in GA may be related to the above Rev. Thomas BRAY but I have yet to find a connection. I don't know where in GA Sarah was born, but she was married in about 1781 in Screven Co. GA to William PEARCE. She died 6 June, 1801 in GA and William PEARCE moved to Rapides Parish, LA with their children. I can't seem to find out anything about her, so thought I'd try to trace Rev. BRAY's lineage forward. I'm beginning to think there is no connection. Marianne Gilbert <[email protected]> Phoenix, AZ >Hello everyone! My name is Kenneth England and I just joined this list >today.

    2. Is anyone else on this list working on the Bray family of Henry County, VA? I am trying to figure out if Timothy Bray of Fauquier County, VA is the father of John Bray b. ca. 1789 who shows up on the 1820 census in Henry County, VA. I found a 1800 Fauquier County Tax record online that makes me believe so. It listed: Bray, Timothy (John Bray) with 2 free males over age 16 listed. Thanks for any info!

    1. [BRAY-L] Regarding look-up requests
    2. Byron Bray
    3. Today, I read a look-up request from a subscriber to one of the lists that I subscribe to. It is by no means the first such e-let I've seen, but I'd like to do what I can to make sure it's the last. ("E-let" is my self-coined term for "e-mail letter") I've omitted the details, because my objective, here, is not to embarass anyone, but to point out a problem that I'm finding to be increasingly common. The request essentially said: > Need a census look-up for 18xx and 18xx for Such-and-such > county for the XYZ Surname. My relative was an XYZ. > > Albert XYZ In this age of computers and e-mail, it's very easy to allow ourselves to become more and more impersonal and it's something we need to guard against. The attitude that this request conveys is: "Look this up for me." No "please"; no "thank you"; no background information that might make this process interesting for the person who might be able and willing to perform such a look-up. As a help-list volunteer for my county genealogical society, I wanted to take this opportunity to pass along some rules for help-list and look-up etiquette that I think some people really need to hear. For the rest of us, a refresher probably won't hurt. The first and foremost golden rule for look-ups and help-list requests is to remember that there is a PERSON at the other end of your request. That person has a limited amount of time and energy, in this life, just like you. They may be willing to make the time and effort to look up information, for you, but the very least they deserve, in exchange, is some recognition that they are people, too, and some treatment more friendly than a peremptory "look this up for me". Most of us who do look-ups on an on-going basis are interested in the history and genealogy of our areas, in the stories of pioneers and their families and descendants and other lore that adds to the sense of history that our research is uniquely privy to. You may not know these things, but you can certainly say a few things about yourself and your ancestors, which will let the person whose efforts you are recruiting know that they're dealing with a friendly person who has something interesting to offer in exchange, even if it's only a token gesture. Your information lets us know that you're serious about the information you seek and that you're not just asking for look-ups for every XYZ in the state, hoping to find one you recognize (and, believe me, you'd be surprised how many people DO that!!). Your anecdotal information may even help them find the data you're asking them to check out; and, who knows you may have information of interest to THEM. You don't need to write a novel; just a sentance or two that lets us know that you have a history and a personality and that you appreciate the time and effort we're expending. If you can help us narrow the field of inquiry, that's helpful, too. Those who write to say "Do you have an obit for my great uncle Oscar XYZ?? I think he died between 1875 and 1900 in the western part of the state", have never spent 6 or 8 hours trying, unsuccessfully, to find this information for someone. And a simple "please" and "thank you" wouldn't hurt, either. I am fortunte enough to belong to an area and a society with a lot of volunteer spirit and, when we set up our Linn County, Oregon, help-list page, I had 7 volunteers to start out with. In the two years since then, only one has dropped out, but almost every one of us has had occasion to complain about these kinds of unthinking practices by those submitting requests. And they're not mean people; they're just not thinking about the person at the other end. Also, when you're using a help-list or look-up web-site, only place a given request to ONE volunteer. Some people post their requests to several volunteers, because they think it gives them a better chance of getting the information. I strongly discourage this practice. The people who do this sort of work are volunteers and their time is as valuable as anyone else's. When you ask several people to look up one piece of information, you cause them to spend their valuable time doing work that is completely redundant because someone else is already looking it up. It's a waste of valuable time that could be spent looking up other information. And, believe me, we talk to one another about these requests, to try and get the best possible information to those who seek our help. How would you feel if you did several hours of research only to find that someone else had to do it, too? What chance do think there would be of that same person getting ANOTHER look-up from us?? Instead, write to ONE volunteer and then be patient. If you haven't heard anything in a week or two, write them again. Don't be pushy; remember they are doing this on their own time and they have lives to lead, as well. Most volunteers will help you relatively quickly (i.e. within a couple of days or weeks of your request). If you get no positive response, in another week or two, or if they seem reluctant or overburdened, check to see if there's another volunteer for that county/year. If there is, and if you feel that you're getting nowhere with the one you wrote to first, write to that first volunteer again and ask them how your request is coming along. If nothing's happened with it, tell them that you feel they may be too busy or that you feel you need to get the information more quickly than they may have time for. Let them know that you're seeking the information elsewhere. Be nice about it. They may very well just not have enough time to help you. I know (who better?) what it's like to volunteer for a number of efforts with the best of intentions and then find that it's hard to fulfill them all. We all know that, to one degree or another. Be merciful. Anyway, I didn't mean to get into a long-winded lecture, here, so those of you who have fallen asleep during this e-let can wake up now!! I just wanted to remind you that we're all people and we should all be treated with appropriate respect. Genealogy depends on all of us giving and helping each other. That's a lot easier to do when people know that their efforts are valued and appreciated and not squandered.

    3. Hi, I just joined this list, and the description says it is also for the surname Brill; I hope that's right! I'm not personally researching the Brill name, but am annotating the 1860 Bath co VA census with maiden names and have been unable to locate a marriage for these folks (this is their 1860 census entry): George Brill 50 m farmer Margaret 35 f John 7 m Lucy 5 f Benjamin 3 m George 9/12 m I'm also unable to locate George Sr. in the 1850 VA census, which might give me a clue of where he married Margaret. From the children's ages, it appears that they married about 1850-53. Does anybody recognize this family, and more importantly, can you provide Margaret's maiden name?

    1. [BRAY-L] Bray, Henry Alfred (1825 - 1911) CT -> OH -> MI -> CA
    2. Byron Bray
    3. I am looking for information regarding HENRY ALFRED BRAY, born 27 Oct, 1825, apparently in Connecticut. He lived, for a time in Ohio, where he met and married CAROLYN JANE FULLER sometime around 1848. Around 1852, he moved with his wife and children to Charlotte, Eaton County, Michigan. According to his death certificate, his father's name was "Henry Bray". Henry and Carolyn had six children, four of whom died in childhood. The two surviving children were sons, Alfred Francis Bray and Ellsworth Bray. His son, Alfred Francis Bray, married Lora Adelia Grant in Huntington, Lorain County, Ohio in 1878 and they (Alfred & Lora) traveled west to Ojai, California by about 1900. Henry Alfred went out to California to visit his son in the early 1900's (as shown in census) and died there in 1911. Ellsworth Bray remained in Carmel, Eaton County, Michigan, for many years. He and his family, Henrietta Bray and their three daughters, moved for some years to North Dakota, returning to Eaton County in 1911. He died there on August 31, 1930. Any information would be gratefully received. I know a great deal about their descendents and will happily share. Good luck to all!! Byron C. Bray [email protected]

    1. [BRAY-L] ALERT - Genealogy on TalkSpot!!
    2. Byron Bray
    3. Hi, I was recently advised, by an alert reader of my column ("Computers & Genealogy") that a live internet broadcast on genealogy will take place next Monday. For those of you who don't know about internet broadcasts, they are broadcasts that come over the 'net and play, in real time, on your computer. This allows you to receive radio and tv content from places outside your broadcast area and from various sources on the internet itself. If you don't have an application called "Real Player" on your computer, you'll need it if you want to "attend" this broadcast and I've included information on how you can get it, FREE, at the end of this letter. But first let me finish about the genealogy program. It's called: "Tracing your Roots" Monday, March 29th, 1999 from 12 pm - 2 pm Pacific Time "How much do you know about your family history? Genealogy libraries are exploding on the Internet as people around the world trace their roots. TalkSpot's News OnLine brings you the experts who will tell you how to access thousands of databases." GUESTS will be: Elon Gasper Senior Designer / "Generations" (genealogy software) SierraHome.com Peg Zitko Director of Public Affairs Statue of Liberty-Ellis Island Foundation Charles Merrin Senior Director Online Genealogy Unit FamilyTreeMaker.com Susan Easton Black, Ed.D. Professor Brigham Young University Myra Vanderpool Gormley, CG Syndicated Columnist Los Angeles Times http://www.rootsweb.com/~review/index.htm Cyndi Howells Author "Netting your Ancestors" and "Cyndi's Genealogical List" website Marthe Arends Author Genealogy Software Guide David Rencher Manager, Public Outreach / Family History Department The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints YOU CAN CATCH THIS BROADCAST AT: http://www.talkspot.com/events/genealogy/ ABOUT REALPLAYER For those of you who don't have RealPlayer, you can get it FREE by going to: http://www.real.com/products/player/downloadrealplayer.html?wp=dl0399&src=h p_butn&lang=en and downloading it. You can get it for Macintosh, Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT. Just fill out the registration form (they keep your information confidential) and choose the version you want to download. Be sure and choose the FREE version for your system. Once it has dowloaded, just install it. Then you'll be ready to go to the address for the broadcast, that I gave, above the REALPLAYER section. I would suggest that you download RealPlayer, install it and then go to: http://www.talkspot.com/ and pick a program and listen to it, so you know eveything works BEFORE the "Tracing Your Roots" program comes on!!! Be there or be square!! Regards, Byron Bray Vice-President, Linn Genealogical Society Linn County, Oregon Listowner: BOVEE-L list ([email protected]) [email protected]
