Hi everyone and Good End of the Millennium! I too have been extremely busy... nothing new to all of you. No advances to report to date except that everyone of the family who are still living will be one year older this year! Oh Happy Day! I really do enjoy hearing from each of you on the list, and wish for each a joyous and happy celebration of Christ's Mass and the entering of another year full of potential!

Karen: The only reference to my John H. Brisbin is in our family bible. It does not give his middle name, just H. John's 2nd son was named Henry so just guessing it maybe Henry ?? As we do our research in Pittsburgh, Allegheny County, Penna. my son and I have been on the look out for your Hiram but so far that name has not come up. We will continue to be on the alert.

Hi Sandra, I have an old GedCom from Ken Brisbin, deceased. Here is what he has on parents of Fields Brisbin. There are no children listed for Fields Brisbin.

We are still here.......The decendents of Mary Hannah Camber Brisbane Arthur who married Ruben Arthur in South CArolina, before 1810. No much progress to report. Hope to get a moving in the new millinium. Peter & Frances Gold

Hi Listers I've been watching this list for a while, but this is my first post. I am looking for any info on the parents of Fields Brisbin, b. abt 1820 in Canada, died in 1870 in Kane Co. IL. He and his wife Silvia were in Cook Co. IL in 1850 census, and in Kane Co. IL for 1860 and 1870 census. I'm related to Silvia, but would like to find out more about Fields. Does anyone have any info on him? Thanks, Sandy Samis

You are right, all variations of Brisbin should be considered when we are searching. That is what is great about our Brisbin list. If we post what we have on our line it could help many. Anne Futch

I am still here too........even though my line is with BRISBEN. I recently received pages from the BRISBEN family bible.....and am working through all the people listed.....will type it up and send it. Some of you may really be looking for Brisben rather than Brisbin. My direct line is: William Brisben, b. 1741, Tyrone County, Ireland (??), d. October 26, 1811 Lancaster, PA, Married Elizabeth Watson, b. 1741, d. Aug. 15, 1798, Lancaster Co., PA One of their sons, John Brisben, b. Oct. 7, 1766, Lancaster, PA, d. July 31, 1837, North Madison, IN, Married Mary Young in July 5, 1796, Lancaster Co., PA One of John and Mary's sons, James Young Brisben, b. March 10, 1799, d. August 24, 1840, Married Juliet McClung, on Oct. 31, 1821 - they had many children, and I have the info for them. One was my great great grandfather, Samuel R. Brisben who married Mary Forehan, in Covington KY, and they had James Patrick Brisben who married Rose Wallner, in Bloomington, IN. My Brisben families married also into the Hatcher, Dewey, Grover, Owens, Chandler, Getty Linda Jenkins Wensel - Researching Brisben, Brisbane, Wallner, Forehan, Barnes

Hi Everyone! I'm still around too, but am totally into Christmas at the moment. My Mom just left after having been here for nearly a month and my in-laws arrive tomorrow! Finished my shopping today and am going to clean house tomorrow. You'll hear more from me next century! Happy BRISBIN hunting, maybe we'll hit some great finds in the new year! (Like the proof I need for William Brisbin's father, maybe Capt. John???) Joyous Holidays, Jackie PS: Did anyone see my name in the National Genealogical Society magazine under 'Home Study Honor Roll'?! I really enjoyed that course.

What does the H stand for? I'm still searching in vain for Hiram Brisbin born Pa. abt 1815. Mortality index shows he was born Pa. I've located land grant from SD. but no info other than he is a native born citzen. He also lived in the Jones co. area of Iowa. On a happy note thru SS death index I was able to find out my grandma's parents. She always said she was orphaned. Original ss applications listed both her parents names. I quess what I'm trying to say is we can't give up the search. Just when you think it's hopless something turns up. Karen Brisbin Parsons

I'm still here too, however extremely busy. I've not been able to work much on the roots though. Bill -- Isn't genealogy fun? The answer to one problem leads to two more!

Anne: We are still looking for John H. Brisbin's dad. John H. is our G G Grandfather born 3/23/1831 (In Penna. according to the 1880 census records). John H. Brisbin's mothers first name was Sarah.

This Ronk in search of his grandfather Ray Aruthur BRISBIN of IA is still around. And was also hoping we would come to life again. Have new established that Ray Arthur had another brother, by the name of Edgar BRISBIN, first and last heard of in Mesa Co Colorado. This information from their father's Civil War pension documents.

Received a Christmas card from Bill Harbison today. His email address is harbison@magicnet.net He has a web page at www.magic.net/~harbison Anne Futch

Our Brisbin list has been pretty inactive. Can we do something like a Roll Call to see who is still on the list? I sent email to Bill Harbison & it bounced. Anyone have his email address? Ryan S. Brisbin - are you on the list? Bill Harbison is of your recent line. Forget the name but think it was Edward, Sr. looking for Pittsburg, Alleghenny Co. ancestors. Did you ever connect to an ancestor? Lynn - do you have descendants of James Sanks Brisbin? Anne Futch

Great site.....posted to another list......thought it was worth forwarding.....there is 1 BRISBIN in the photos, Brice David BRISBIN Picture of Civil War Ancestor: http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usamhi/PhotoDB.html ... This site was created by the U.S. Army Military History Institute and it is a searchable database of their Special Collections. Using this database you can see if a photograph exists of your Civil War ancestor. Just enter the surname you're searching and the results page will give any photos of any soldier with that surname, along with (if known) his regiment. Next, you can send an e-mail with the photo ID's that you're interested in. The Army will then send you (for free) a photocopy of the picture, along with instructions on ordering a duplicate photo. An 8x10 photo costs $10.00. No more then ten photos will be produced for any one customer per year." Linda Jenkins Wensel, Researching BRISBEN, BARNES, FOREHAN, LYLE, MCCLUNG

Just found this site: http://www.rootsweb.com/~pacentre/rlb/brisbin.htm The column is part of a feature series which focuses on a different Centre County family each week. Five new columns will be released each month .......this one is for BRISBIN/BRISBEN and has come good references for history. Am not sure when this was posted so don't know if the link will be good for long. If the page is not there when you get to it, let me know.....I have copied it to a file.
