Found this online and found it interesting. British Military Terms and Soldier Slang .. great list http://www.geocities.com/faskew/Colonial/Glossary/British.htm Note: Many British military slang words had an Indian origin and spread from there throughout the Empire. In this list, they were Anglicized and that think native Indians would not have used, such as pukka sahib. In the Indian list, are words that might have been used by either British or Indians or words that were specific to India and Afghanistan. . Examples: DEKKOTO .. take a look (Hindi, deckna, to look DENGUE FEVER .. an acute infectious virus transmitted by mosquitoes that produces headache, severe joint pain, and rash, also called breakbone fever (American Spanish [1828]) Sally Rolls Pavia Sun City, AZ sallypavia2001@yahoo.com “We have not inherited the world from our forefathers .. we have borrowed it from our children.” …..

A Love Bunker died in Madras ,India in the period 1850 -1859; seeing as the entry is in the records of British army chaplins, presumably she was the wife or daughter of a serving British soldier, perhaps of Richard or Julius ,qv, both of whom served in India and for whom no info has been forthcoming . It strikes me that Love might be an error for Lovey a Devon Christian name or perhaps a name given to an Indian wife.Can anybody clarify ? Have we any Bunker members in India? There were also a lot of British soldiers in the West Indies , particularly in the Napoleonic Wars early in the C19 but I know of no source for them. Death by disease was rampant there. I have no access to American records but can anyone assure me that no Bunkers were killed in the war of 1812 - 1814 on the British side, the British had a large number of casualties in the battle of New Orleans in 1814 , fought after peace had been made. Are there any listings in N.O. for such casualties? Brian Bunker

Brian, The Bunker Family History has a list of veterans that served in the War of 1812 on page 101. I have no other info, just what is in the book.

In Bette's absence I thought I'd forward this information to you all; it came to me from the Page mailing list; I haven't checked it out. Mary-Gene -------- Original Message -------- Subject: *NEW* Pennsylvania Baggage Lists of 1809 Resent-Date: Sun, 15 Aug 2004 08:38:42 -0600 Resent-From: PAGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com Date: Sun, 15 Aug 2004 10:39:31 -0400 From: Lorine McGinnis Schulze <otg@csolve.net> Reply-To: otg@csolve.net Organization: Olive Tree Genealogy To: PAGENWEB-L@rootsweb.com Hi everyone, I have just completed indexing 24 passenger lists from the Pennsylvania Baggage Lists of 1809. These contain the names of passengers who had to pay taxes on excess baggage. It does not contain the names of passengers who were exempt because their luggage was not over the limit. I decided to index all names, not just passenger names, but also the names of those shipping luggage or goods, and the names of those where the goods were being shipped. More will follow as I have time, or as volunteers are found to help. Here is the list of ships I just put online. All sailed to Philadelphia Pennsylvania 1809 Jan 5 Brig Lamprey from Kingston Jamaica 1809 Jan 5 Schooner Wanton from Jamaica 1809 Jan. 30 Schooner Swift from Puerto Rico 1809 Mar. 8 Ship Cordelia from Martinique 1809 Mar. 11 Ship Union from Plymouth & Lorient 1809 Mar. 24 Schooner Archibald from Puerto Rico 1809 Apr. 11 Swedish Ship Abo from St. Bartholomews & Turks Island 1809 Apr. 18 Brig Jean from Liverpool 1809 Apr.18 Ship Mary from London 1809 Apr. 20 Swedish Schooner Maria from St. Thomas 1809 Apr. 22 Ship Live Oak from Liverpool 1809 Apr. 24 Brig Lovely Lass from Batavia 1809 Apr. 29 Ship Ann & Hannah from Turks Island 1809 Apr. 20 Brig Gustaf Ekerman from St. Bartholomew 1809 May 2 Ship Edward & Charles from London 1809 May 2 Schooner George & Susan from Nassau 1809 May 2 Ship Recovery from Liverpool 1809 May 3 Ship Diana from Liverpool 1809 May 8 Brig Reindeer from Havana 1809 May 9 Brig Palafos from Havana 1809 May 9 Schooner Ranger from Puerto Rico 1809 May 9 Schooner Five Sisters from Puerto Rico 1809 May 10 Schooner Blanche from St. Bartholomew 1809 May 10 Brig Ann from Liverpool Most of the ships also have the image of the manifest online too. I will be putting them all online as I have time, so if the one you want isn't there, just come back and check in a few days. You can get to the lists several ways - by going directly to the Baggage Lists for PA at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ote/ships/#paships or by starting at the index to Ships to USA 1805-1810 at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tousap14b.shtml by going to Ships to PA 1800-present at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/tousa_pa1800.shtml This is another project of Olive Tree Genealogy to fill in the gaps, and one that I hope to carry on to 1820, which is when full passenger lists began to be archived and are available to us Enjoy!

I believe the occupation abbreviations indicate whether a person was "Employer", Employee" or "Neither" ("Em'er", "Em'ee or Notem (=Not employed). Cheers, Andrew >Can somebody enlighten me as to what "Em'ee" means after >occupation on the >British census? > >Thanks Jane

Thanks everyone for your help. It means employee, which explains why it was with occupation on the 1891 census. Thanks again Jane

Cousins, Bette will be offline for awhile due to family matters in Florida. I'll help with the genealogical searches, but bear in mind my database is 5-years old. gil

It happened to me too and I use Netscape. The guy is doing a beta test to see what happens. I tried all the links and they all worked. They are really great links. He would appreciate it if you would let him know your experience. I see you are on AOL and he is trying to see if this works for AOL, Netscape and some others that have problems sometimes with these things.

Bette Hi all, Recently I announced a new website called Genealogybuff.com http://www.genealogybuff.com Today, I just added a feature in the center of the main page that allows you to submit a surname and get results from various genealogy search engines for your name. I need several kind people to test the search with about 4 or 5 of their surnames to see if the results are satisfactory. If you are a Netscape, Mac, AOL, or WebTV user, I am especially interested in your results. Thanks!

This came from someone on the Az Gen. Soc. list. We have some early Fl settlers and some residents today that are being blown around. My daughter and grandson in Bradenton on Tampa Bay are ok and relieved that they did not take a direct hit. Amy's house is on the tip of Anna Maria Island at the mouth of Tampa Bay so they evacuated Thursday morning. I hope everyone there in Florida now is ok and if you are interested in the historic maps have a look at: The University of South Florida has some beautiful historic maps of Florida, dating back to 1562, online at http://fcit.usf.edu/florida/maps/maps.htm. Even if you are not doing research in Florida, they are worth looking at for their beauty.

This is from RootsWeb Review for this week. I have a medical pedigree that I can print out the gives the ailments and causes of deaths for 6 generations. I am missing some cousin data but not any for a direct ancestor. My doctors love it. They can't believe that I have it and are always fascinated by it. All have said they wished every patient had one. This article is a good one for telling you how to do it. Compiling Medical Pedigrees By Judy Florian, former Registered Nurse When doctors, nurses, and hospital staff ask about medical history of a person's family, they are primarily interested in (in this order): 1. Your own medical history 2. Both of your parents' medical history 3. Your siblings' (but not stepsisters or stepbrothers) medical history 4. Paternal grandparents' medical history 5. Maternal grandparents' medical history Beyond these, medical histories are not considered as important, although some doctors *might* ask you to also include: 1. Aunts' medical history (the full sisters of your father and/or mother) 2. Uncles' medical history (the full brothers of your father and/or mother) 3. First cousins' medical history However, it is unusual for doctors to ask about the health of your aunts, uncles, and cousins. Most adults will know already that the primary organ categories asked about are: Heart, lung, renal (kidney), pancreas, and liver which cover the primary large group diseases such as: HEART: Heart attack (M.I. myocardial infarction), arrhythmia (abnormal heart rate), CHF (congestive heart failure), and hypertension (high blood pressure). LUNG: Asthma, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and tuberculosis. RENAL: Kidney failure, hypertension (high blood pressure, which can affect kidney function). PANCREAS: Diabetes --high blood sugar. LIVER: Liver failure, etc. Doctors also ask for other specific diseases that can affect one or more body organs, such as: CANCER (can affect skin or any organ). ALCOHOL ABUSE (affects liver and changes blood chemistries). CHEMICAL ABUSE/DRUG ABUSE (affects liver; can affect blood and other organs if person has used IV drugs, e.g., "shooting up"). While there are many diseases that are considered hereditary or to "run in the family," there are actually few diseases where it would be any more beneficial to know more than three generations of history. This means you, your parents and your four grandparents. Diseases considered to be truly genetic include those such as blood diseases (example: sickle cell -- important to know if there is African American bloodline in "white" families); blood-clotting deficiencies; rare/true chromosomal abnormalities like in mental retardation, and "orphan" diseases such as Noonan's Syndrome. For the true genetic chromosomal diseases or rare orphan diseases it would be good to know a more extensive history. For more information on rare orphan diseases see: http://www.rarediseases.org/ So, while it is interesting for families to know "heart attacks have been frequent in my primary family line for 150 years," doctors for the most part will still only be interested in three generations of medical history. Only when there is a rare diagnosis might an in-depth medical genealogy be worthwhile -- at least in today's medical world. Possibly in years to come, medical research will find a useful way to use the medical genealogies that researchers have compiled -- but authentic medical research must set certain criteria to have the research be valid, so in fact, our medical genealogies may end up still only being of interest to genealogy researchers. One area that will become increasingly important, however, is the question: did you and your children have complete series of childhood immunizations? Many children did not have all or only some immunizations and perhaps booster shots were skipped. There is discussion now about how boosters only protect people for X number of years. Americans, for the most part, do not remember the rampant illness, debility and deaths caused by communicable diseases such as whooping cough, smallpox, and polio. Even measles and mumps can kill from opportunistic infections that can come with a major illness. So while you are collecting your ancestors' medical histories, pull out your children's immunization records and talk to your doctor about what might still be needed. ____________________________________________ Check out the Bunker Family Association. http://www.bunkerfamilyassn.org.

Civil War Sites Prisoner of War Camps of the American Civil War Within the broad framework of the American Civil War, perhaps the darkest and most horrible element did not come from the battlefield, but from within the confines of the prisoner of war camps. Both Union and Confederate prison camps had their share of atrocities resulting in starvation, disease, and death. Learn more about these institutions here. http://militaryhistory.about.com/od/powcampsuscivilwar/ Battles of the American Civil War The American Civil War has been dubbed the first modern war by a number of military historians.

Time marches on. Yoken's, where we held our meeting two years ago in Portsmouth, has announced it will close its doors in September, after 57 years. Rumors are it will be knocked down to make way for a supermarket. Somebody has already made an offer for the blue neon whale sign. Dave Larkin
