Rich & Nancy, I have an Issac CHASE who was an early convert to the Mormon church, but the only Willard in my database was born in Utah 1880. As far as the seerstone, I am not familiar with that story. The history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints starts with the revelation to Joseph Smith in 1820 in Palmyra, New York. The Church was officially founded on April 6 1830 in Fayette, New York. The CHASE lines I have were mostly in the Little Compton, Newport, Rhode Island area or in Massachusetts prior to abt 1800, my line move to Vermont abt 1800 and then to Sparta, Livingston, New York by 1830 untill after 1837. From there, they followed the emigration of the Church to Nauvoo (1841), then to Utah.

I am looking for info on siblings of Emeline CHASE, b 24 Aug 1827, Cabot, VT daughter of Aaron CHASE, b 20 Feb 1803, Deerfield, NH (Parker, Moses, Nathan, Thomas, Aquila CHASE) and Lucinda MINOT/MINARD. Aaron CHASE, blacksmith, lived in Deerfield, NH, Cabot, VT Woodbury, VT, Meredith, NH, Woodstock, NH in 1850 and Melrose in 1874. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Roanne electa@grrtech.com

Nancy, I have done some research on the Willard CHASE family that was associated with Joseph SMITH, Jr., and I believe I have his ancestry. However I do not have that research on this computer and it will be a few days before I get the other one back from service before I can check the data base. I don't remember if there was an Isaac that was related to Willard or not. Do you have any idea where they came from before being in Seneca County? I have info on hundreds of CHASEs, most of which an old GEDCOM of mine was posted on the internet by someone else and I believe that much of it is probably here in this CHASE data base, although I have not checked lately. If any of your people came out of the southeast corner of Washington county, NY., I would be extremely interested. Best regards.

Nancy have you checked out The Chase Family Resorce Center it is quite helpful with your line of Cases as well as others! http://www.surnameweb.org/centers/c/chase/index.html

Hi, I am a new subscriber so I hope I get this right! I have reached a dead end on my family research and I am fairly new at this so any help would be appreciated. I am trying to get information on an Isaac Chase who was born Jan.22, 1797 and died Nov.20, 1819. He was married to Phebe Holrow who was born Oct. 1799, died Dec.24, 1859. Phebe died in Seneca County, New York. They had two children who lived to maturity, George and Martha. Family stories relate that the Chase family farm was the site where Joseph Smith ( founder of the Mormon Church) dug up his seer stone. I have read in some Mormon history books that the stone was dug up in upstate New York on the Willard Chase farm. I am assuming that Willard was related. This is all the info. I have - any ideas? Thanks a lot for your time. Nancy Chase nchase@jps.net

ALL, In the latest update I neglected to ensure that the gedcom file I uploaded to the Surnameweb server was EXACTLY as the cgi script required. For the technically astute among you this meant that I therefore finished up with 2 gedcom files on the server. To convert the gedcom to the database you see on the site it is necessary for me to TELNET a command which I did. However this did no more than re-generate the file that was already there. I have now rectified the error. Thanks for pointing it out,Debbie. I really should have checked more carefully, Keith Hume Keith Hume, email khume@netcomuk.co.uk CHASE-L Website at:- http://www.surnameweb.org/centers/c/chase/index.html Kent,England Researching:- HULME,DAWSON,(In Lancs.)

Can anyone help this Chase cousin?? My maiden name is Monika Chase. My Father, Charles Edward only knows his dad's first name; Verless. He was most likely born in Idaho, maybe Utah. Can you help? Thanks, Monika Chase Henry henryco@concentric.net

ALL, I have updated the CHASE WWW site today. --The database has had additions,(Will those who sucessfully sent gedcoms in the past couple of months please check to see if their data is included. --List of CHASE WWW sites updated,(Debbie Axtman please check if OK and thanks for the hard work) --Some info has been added to the ARCHIVES page. There is now a U.S. section giving some National and regional archives. This is work I did some weeks ago but should stillbe up to date. I notice that some of you have been picking up on likely sites for CHASE info. I have saved these messages and when things ease up for me I will review and include but I repeat I cannot possible reveiw all the many State and County genalogy archive sites, Keith Hume

This is some information that I received from Bucks, England. Please remember, Hundridge is just a place where some Chases lived. They may or may not be ancestors. Lonnie Chase chase1858@bwn.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ From Chesham town, five fingers of roads spread out into the hills to the north-west and west. Hundridge is situated on the `little finger' which stops short of the hamlet of South Heath. There were two large farmhouses, called Hundridge and Little Hundridge of which the former was later called Hundridge Manor. It was never really a manor but an outlying `home farm' belonging to one of the main manors in Chesham. The Chase family appear to have lived in the larger one way back. I have a feeling the building is now used as offices or conference centre by one of the large firms. If I have the right one, they are very difficult about letting anyone inside their gates and know/want to know nothing of any history. The present house was mostly built c1696, with more modern additions and refacings of the walls, so the basic look is Georgian. There is an older chapel, ruinous in 1504, repaired and used as a barn and a brewhouse, not in very good condition. We have old illustrations of both house and barn, which might possibly reproduce. Lonnie Chase chase1858@bwn.net

Lon nie, Hundridge--is Hundridge Manor Farms where all of the Aquila and Thomas Chase lines connect to. This is located near the town of Chesham in Buckinghamshire County in England. It is a beautiful Manor House and grounds. The Chases of these two lines never owned it to my knowledge but they rented it. If you connect with that line it's worth a visit to see it if you ever get a chance. The Chersham library has newspaper pictures of it when it was up for sale for over 1million pounds in about 1986 or 7 as I recall. Ginger in Az.

Hi Ya' all, Scott has all of the info. now and is sorting out to mail to Keith. I hope it hasn't caused too much trouble for you. Ginger

Hi there Keith and all of the Chase Clan, First of all I would like to make reference to the problems with the Ged Coms. I know we are all tired of the subject. As they say in the South---LISTEN UP YA' ALL---In my opinion the problems with the Ged Com are not with Keiths computer etc.---at least they aren't in my case. I was told by AOL Technicians that I need to install Win Zip and then send the information. I intend to do just that. PLease be patient. I've had a lot on my plate lately and can't seem to find time to spend more than a very few minutes on the computer, but that will change soon. Your report of spending the time on Veteran's Day was extremely interesting, Keith. The story about your father's experiences add to good historical reading. I have an idea of where you were over that day (Nov.11). We found the area you speak of our favorite in France and the people who live nearby receptive to Americans. At least they were when we were there a few years ago. We liked the food there too. Yes, we observe Veteran's Day here very seriously. In fact, the Renaissance Brass Group which I am a member of gave a concert on that day for a good sized audience of mostly retired veterans. There was even one Veteran of WWI there to honor. In fact, the lady who organized the function was a Sylvia Chase. We attended another function in honor of Armistice Day that same evening which included dinner and dancing to Big Band music. It was my husband's first big day out after his surgery in September so we were especially happy. We are indeed grateful to Keith for his long hours of work gathering together the data base. One of these days all of the info. will be merged and perhaps we will find a book is ready to print giving all of the links from Chase to Chase all over the world. The computer is wonderful and I am glad some of you Chases understand how it works. You all have been very patient with those of us who don't understand its inner workings. Ginger in Az.

All, Not about genealogy but a serious question Yesterday, as is our custom 2 friends and I went to the Somme and hindenburg Line battlefields in France. My father,(An "Aussie" as I am), was fighting in France from 12 July 1916 to 30 September 1918 when he was wounded for the 2nd time. In this last battle ,for the Canal Tunnel at Le Catelet, the American 30th Division and others had been fighting non-stop for 4 days and the 53rd Australian Battalion who 18 months before had special training in fighting in such situations was ordered up in support at 3.30am on the fourth day. The plan was that they would relieve the Americans who had suffered severely trying to weed out the German troops from the Canal Tunnel which because of its depth was impervious to shell fire. As the fresh Australians made their way thru the severely diminished lines but as there were few officers about ,they told them they were relieved. The Americans refused to go and went on with the Aussies and finally cleared the tunnel. In fact it was an American who went back for a stretcher bearer when my Dad was wounded. They were pinned down by sniper fire and my father was bleeding heavily. He was picked up about 40 minutes later and when he inquired was told his Yankee "Cobber" was last seen heading back towards the Tunnel. On the spot near where this action was fought, (at the North end of the Tunnel), there stands a simple yet highly impressive memorial to the Americans who lost their lives there. The inscription reads to the effect that the memorial was to the American forces who fought there with the British. It is beautifully kept,(as they all are), and overlooks the fields the Americans had to cross and also Mont St.Quentin from whence the Germans poured an unremitting cross fire. No List of the "lost" soldiers or casualties. just a list of the Actions and a very fitting design. I took pictures and when I get them developed if any one want on I will send. HOWEVER I realised there was something strange about this memorial and it was my friend who spotted it. There was not a single wreath, cross or poppy there. At this time of year these memorials would normally have quite a few such. My friend had a simple 6" cross with a poppy on it which he placed there It then occured to me that maybe 11th November at 11.00am is not remembered in the USA. Is this so? If you ever go to France a trip to these batlefields should be a must. Many still have the trenches and bunkers there and only 2 weeks ago a captured British Tank was unearthed which the germans had captured and buried to use as an underground bunker.

Hi,All, The problems of sending gedcoms to me continues. It would appear that Aol users are convinced My end is at fault. It is, I understand, not the best test, but I have sent the Chase gedcom to myself without problem so at the very least I can send a 2mb+ gedcom via netcom to myself and receive as complete a file just as the one I sent. It is obviously pointless for me to continue with this discussion. The fact that I keep telling all and sundry that I have received over 25 gedcoms and some recently has not convinced our aol users that the fault lies at my end. There is no more to be said. I will not attempt to look at any file coming from an aol user. Dann Craig is trying to sort this out and has volunteered to accept gedcoms and pass to me,if he can. Two recent atttempts by an aol user to send to Craig have failed. PLEASE NO MORE CORRESPONDENCE , TO ME, ON THIS ONE but if you can sort it out ampngst yourselves I would be delighted, HOWEVER you do it! I genuinely am VERY Busy and a further day behind due to my yearly pilgrimage to the Somme in France, (See my seperate email) Keith Hume Keith Hume, email khume@netcomuk.co.uk CHASE-L Website at:- http://www.surnameweb.org/centers/c/chase/index.html http://www.netcomuk.co.uk/~khume/home.html Kent,England Researching:- HULME,DAWSON,(In Lancs.)
