Well, here it is the first of February already. I hope everyone is having good weather. I can't hardly believe it's this time of year and the weather is good enough here in central Oklahoma to wear shorts. Never would-a-thunk-it as they say. Anyway, it's time for the February mandatory check-ins. Really appreciate all your hard work. -- “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests”. - Patrick Henry - _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._

Cynthia, Have you explored the differences between Fan Pages and Groups on FB? I first made my Adams County, OH page a fan page, but several people expressed the wish that it was a group, saying that a group was easier to find on FB. I ended up moving it over to a group since that was what the majority seemed to want. I like the Fan Page idea, more stats, options, and you can create a widget to embed on your website. If I had my druthers, I would have left it a Fan Page. What is your preference?

I started working on a group page before I read your email. I'll have to look into the fan page and see what options there are. Thanks for the info.

I have two counties, one in Ohio and one in Kentucky, that also have FB groups. The Lewis County one has about 150 people in it now and is growing steadily. I didn't start it nor do I manage it, but I am active in it. I started the Adams County group last week. So far, I only have 18 people, but it is really early. I was thinking that if it turned out to be as successful as the Lewis County, KY FB group, that I would consider doing it for my Boulder and Weld county pages here in Colorado. Personally, I think it is a great idea. I now have any number of folks looking for and contributing items for my Lewis County, KY pages. I expect that the same will eventually happen with Adams County, OH as well.

Has anyone given any thought to linking our pages (to/from) a Facebook page? I know a few counties in other states have set up a facebook page and it seems to get a lot of interest. Is this something that is addressed in our by-laws or rules? I was thinking of setting one up on Facebook, if allowed, and linking it to the Alamosa COGenWeb page. Regards, Cynthia Monroe

You can make a site for COGenWeb if you wish.

I can also say that a lot of people came to Denver for the air and a lot with breathing problems died in Denver so that is another option is they weren't there for the mining. But, again... there was a daughter born so when and where was she born? g On Sun, Jan 8, 2012 at 9:29 PM, Gail Kilgore <gail.kilgore@gmail.com> wrote: > I did a search last night but didn't post the information that I found > because all I could find was info on the son, John S.

I did a search last night but didn't post the information that I found because all I could find was info on the son, John S. Mc Coy who was more than likely married in Mohave Co., Arizona. I have the Colorado marriages and George and Edith are not listed on the CD. I know that the CD is not complete. I think I did find a George in CA. The son was working as a cow puncher for the Diamond ??? Ranch and the ranch was owned by a Duncan and John married the daughter and died in CA. I just figured anything that I had found was not important as I also found family trees and the parents weren't listed in there. It would be interesting to find out where this man's mother was born and that would tell us if they stayed around the Denver area or was there on their way to some place else when the son was born.

This may be one of those "dead-end" problems which will be difficult to resolve. I checked the 1880, 1885 CO census, and the 1900 census with no matches with the information provided. There were McCoy's in Jefferson Co., but I could not find anything to indicate this was the same family. Of course with censuses, it's going to depend on what was given as a name, what was listed as a birth place by the person providing the information, what the indexer transcribed it as, etc. If you haven't already sent a reply, my recommendation to tell him is that in a preliminary search you have turned up nothing to indicate his family was in Jefferson County. You might ask him his source for the marriage. We have the Colorado Marriage CD at my local genealogy society here in SW Washington, I can look at it on Thursday when I am there. That might at least give a clue to a starting place to look.

I have been trying to locate additional information on my GF John Stephen McCoy who was born 4 June 1890 in Denver Colorado. His parents names are George McCoy and Edith Monroe. I do not have any other information of George McCoy or Edith Monroe other then the names. George McCoy supposedly was sent to live with relatives in Colorado from Kentucky and I have been unable to substantiate this as fact. I would like to gain additional information about sibling of John McCoy and or additional information about George and Edith family facts. I would appreciate any insight or information that you could provide. Let me know if there is a cost and I can provide funding as necessary. Thanks in advance for you assistance.

Still stumped on the McCoy line. George McCoy (John Stephen McCoy's father) supposed came from Kentucky as a small child. I understood my mother to say that that John was a 1st cousin to Tim McCoy, but my research did not pan out to show a relationship. Tim came from Michigan and John came out of Colorado. Looking in new family search I found a John "Butterick" McCoy born in 1826. His last child born was a George W. McCoy and there was no other references other than born in 1867 which would be about the right time period for my George McCoy. All of the other sibling had other information (Marriage, children, etc.) where as George did not. It was said George McCoy was sent to Colorado to live with relatives. So I guess this will take more work before a link can be established.
