Dear All: Some volunteers from the society of the Daughters of the American Revolution ( DAR) have established a wonderful new program for users of Rootsweb. These volunteers will do lookups in their database and records if you think one of your ancestors served in some capacity during the American Revolution. These volunteers have more databases that are available to them than the ones commonly used by the search engines. The process is fairly simple : Go to the DAR message board: There are two ways to do that: > www.rootsweb.com > message boards > topics > organizations and societies > DAR Or if you want the easy way :-) http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=topics.organizations.dar Address your message as follows: subject : DAR Lookup > surname> location > dates In the body of the message put the information regarding the person, Be sure to fill out the surnames box at the bottom since the new search engine will be keying on that item. Leave the email response box checked and you will be notified when the DAR volunteers respond . Give them a week or so to get to your request. We really appreciate their efforts. This info can be key for: a: joining these prestigious organizations ( DAR & SAR) b: sending a request for the copies of the files that were submitted and the information they have available. Many thanks to: Glenda Thompson DAR VIS Volunteer Vice Chrm. Patriot Lookup for organizing this effort and all the many volunteers that are donating their time and effort to us instead of pursuing their own ancestors, Best Regards John A Hansen DAR board admin. BTW: Please forward this message to other lists and boards that each of you are involved in. A word of thanks to each volunteer that does this work and especially the one that responds to your post would probably be highly appreciated.

I am searching for the parents of Charles Coats, who was born 1834 in central NY state. His wife was Mary and they had a son Sheldon Coats who was born 1875 in Oneida county. But I believe Clharles moved to Oneida county in later life, and was born in Chenango, Onondaga or Otsego county. Can anybody please help me? Thanks, Nan

Anybody have any COATS / ZIEGLER family members in their database from these counties? These families moved together to the following places. Abt. 1830 went from Darke Co., OH to Miami Co., OH Abt. 1850 went from Miami Co., OH to Iowa Co., IA Monnges Twp., Iowa Co., IA (they mis-spelled the name as COLE in one census; and ZEGLAR in same census) Grant Twp., Caldwell Co., MO Ray Co., MO

Hi All: One final post about the SPILMAN index (John Jasper SPILMAN's book of his family history......which gives names and dates for his and his wife's families; including many collateral lines...). The book concerns mostly the families of Allen County, Kentucky and Lawrence County, Missouri. I created an index for the original section of the book I created an index for the updated portion of the book The indexes are available as attachment files and were created in EXCEL Note: All of the indexes that were requested have been sent out. If you did NOT receive one and want one, please let me know....and I will be glad to send them out asap. Got my laptop back...still encountering problems (think it's the hard drive but they don't find anything wrong)....so used the main puter here.....sent out 63 indexes in two e-mails.........they didn't send right so tried again...looks like 3 times...but instead of sending them out...I got kicked off of AOL for bulk mailing...sigh Took about 30 mins on hold to get allowed back on......then sent them out and it appears that almost all were delivered. IF you didn't get yours......or haven't ordered them yet.......let me know. God Bless, Ellen FranKs Nee: Delores Ellen MANN AMERICAN-AMERICAN

Hello All: Just a line to let you know that I have finished sending out the index of the main part of the book written by John Jasper SPILMAN which is a history of several collateral families of his line. Most of the families originated in VA, went to IN or KY and then on to IL, MO, OR.... Mr. SPILMAN included his wife's family lines also...the MOODY family Other families include BOUCHER BRITE CAGLE FULLERTON HELETT MANN MOODY MORRIS PRUITT SCHOOLING WOODS WORMINGTON Mr. SPILMAN gave names and dates only most often. Although he does not offer his sources, his information has proven quite accurate when researched. Therefore, I consider this a good source to at least tell me where/who to look for...smile The original book is out of print but I do have a copy and am willing to snail mail them for the cost of my copying and postage. However, there is no index in the book...this is what I have created and have saved to disk so that it can be sent as an e-mail attachment for those that want it... finally, an easy way to find which page those almost 2,000 people are on.....WOW...unbelievable So, if you want the index, let me know and I'll send an attached file (in EXCEL format or in Quatro Pro). No problem. If you already requested a copy you should have received it already. I just finished mailing out the last of the e-mails with attachments...including the ones that I resent to addresses with failure notices. Let me know......good luck and most of all God Bless, Ellen FranKs nee: Delores Ellen MANN

I am searching for Charles Coats and his wife Mary. Charles was born abt 1834. I searched thru census records and found Charles Coats with wife Mary in Smyrna, Chenango county, NY in the 1870 census age 37 with children Pearl age 4, and Frank age 2. Then in 1860 Charles was in Sherburne, Chenango county, NY age 26, with wife Mary. These dates match up with mine. Does anybody out there have any more info on Charles and Mary? They moved to Oneida county after 1970. They had a son Sheldon born 1 May 1875 in Vernon Center, Oneida, NY Thanks in advance, Nan

Maybe we need to give this list a little push...I'll put my two cents' worth in: Leonard G. COATS b. ca 1820 probably NY; d. 13 Sep 1854; bur. Essex, Clinton Co. MI; m. 25 Mar 1851 Bath, Steuben Co. NY to Deborah Ann HADDEN (b. 25 Nov 1825 Aurelius, Cayuga Co NY; d. 11 May 1901 Muir, Ionia Co MI). Leonard's father was probably David Henry or Henry David COATS/COATES, with brothers Israel COATS/COATES (b. 1792 NJ; d. 26 Jun 1850; m. Eleanor LUCE), William T. COATS/COATES (m. Catherine LUCE, sister to Eleanor). I have more if anyone sees the beginning of a connection. Ann ACBAKER@aol.com

Hello, Nan. I am on the COATS list but rarely receive a message from anyone subscribed to it. I have COATS in Caldwell Co., MO who I believe came from OH. John Wesley COATS b. 1823 OH and d. abt. 1900 MO. He m. Sarah STRAUSBURG abt. 1847 probably in OH. Sarah d. abt. 1895 in MO. They had at least one child (I'm sure they had more) named Isabella COATS b. Sept. 20, 1849 in OH and d. Oct. 5, 1935 in MO. Isabella spent her life in OH, IA and MO so maybe her parents were in IA at some point as well. Isabella COATS m. Willis CLARK (b. Nov. 21, 1845 TN, d.
