Here is a wonderful new site! Do you have a picture that doesn't belong to your family? Do you have a certificate that you have sent for, only to find that it isn't the person you wanted? Here is the place to put it on the web for others to find! Good hunting!

Does anyone know or ever heard of a Man named Tim Bailey? Graduated Montrose County High School in 1961. Someone responded before but when I asked a couple of questions they disappeared.......

Looking to share information about the Daniel SNARE (sometimes spelled SNAIR) (b. 1810 Pa) and Mary Ann (Polly) (b. 1812 Ohio) family who are in the 1850 Licking County, Ohio Census and in the 1860 Knox County, Illinois Census and then are not anywhere in Illinois in the 1870 census. Died?? I'm not sure that they were ever in Fulton County but their daughter and son-in-law (Mary Ann and William Maxwell REED) were in Fulton Co, Il in 1852-1862 along with Williams parents. Daniel's parents might have been Joseph (1782 Maryland) and Nancy (1800 Va).. They are in Licking County Ohio in the 1850 census. Daniel and Mary Ann(Polly) SNARE had the following children: Mary Ann (William Maxwell REED), Reevis, Melissa (Crowell), Sidney Whipple Snare (1 Sarah A Odgen, 2 Sarah Ellen Babbitt), Laura, and Sarah E. One of these ladies married a Milam and was in Redlands California in 1824. Sidney Whipple was in Licking County, Ohio in 1850, Knox County, Il in 1860 and 1870 census', signed Civil War pension affidavits inWashington Co, Ks in 1889 and in Mesa County (Grand Junction), Colorado in 1920. Mary Ann was in Licking Co, Ohio in 1850, Knox Co, Il in 1860 and 1870 census and by 1875 was in Waverly, Lancaster Co, Neb. I have no information about the rest of the SNARE children.

Hello Everyone The first FRAUDULENT LINEAGES/UPDATE containing more lines corrupted by the forger Gustave ANJOU is now ready for viewing, everyone is welcome. This problem is far greater than just simply the lines we have indicated in the two reports. Many collateral lines have used these works, unaware the frauds existed and passed it on through their own lines is a situation all family researchers should become aware of. There are over One Hundred family "genealogies" listed that have been corrupted by Gustave ANJOU alone. New ones are showing up daily. You must become aware of what is out there and where to locate them. This section of our web site will grow with updates and is open for all to view. The URL for our website is; http://www.linkline.com/personal/xymox/ On the first page of the site look for the link FRAUDULENT LINEAGES. Enter there and look for the UPDATE # 1 File.

Herbert F Byers and his wife Katherine (nee Brearley) were living in Grand Junction in 1909. By 1911 they had moved to Denver where he worked at the Carter Rice & Carpenter Paper Co. I would appreciate a directory lookup for H F Byers. Thanks Don

If anyone has anything that they would like to add to the archive pages, please feel free to do so. Also, I would be willing to add information to the county sites I coordinate if you have something that you think that others would be interested in. I have wanted to transcribe census records off of the pages that I have on our family fo others to use, but haven't done so yet. I like to have the photo copies of the pages, and often thought it might help others if I made them available on the web. Someday!

I'm afraid I can not help with info on the LOWE Dairy but you might contact the Museum of Western Colorado in Grand Junction; they have a website as I recall. I do have info about the SANFORDs however. You may or may not be familiar with it but, I co-authored a book a number of years ago entitled "Little Book Cliff Railway--The Life and Times of a Colorado Narrow Gauge." There is a photo reproduced in the book which shows Thomas SANFORD and Guy SANFORD. If I am not mistaken, they would be your great grandfather and grand- father. Thomas was a foreman for the Book Cliff coal mine; a significant player in Grand Junction's history. I'll take a look through the news clippings we used for research and perhaps I can turn up something you can use. The book is out of print but I still have copies available at a reasonable price. It contains a couple of mentions of the LOWE family and also the BROWNSONs but I have forgotten their relationship. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. ---bob

Looking for information on Lowe Dairy in Grand Junction, Colorado. My grandfather and grandmother owned a dairy near Grand Junction in abt 1920-21. Their names were Guy Sanford and Bessie Stewart LOWE. Their children were Richard, Daisy, Guy (my father), James and Wanetta. I believe the dairy carried on with other family members after Guy Sanford died in 1926. Any information or ideas of whom to contact would be greatly appreciated.

My friend insists he was born in Collbran in Plateau County in 1916. According to my Atlas, Collbran is near Plateau City in Mesa County. Will some kind person please straighten us both out? Thank you. Gerry Kirk Massachusetts

I think it is time that I forward one of these messages again. Please consider sending Rootsweb a small amount! All of these lists are courtesy of Rootsweb and all of the county sites that I work with are possible because of them also. Merry Christmas Teri ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- Date forwarded: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 01:57:04 -0800 (PST) From: GmomDistad@aol.com Date sent: Mon, 21 Dec 1998 05:03:17 EST Subject: [MONTANA-L] I got this from another list To: MONTANA-L@rootsweb.com Forwarded by: MONTANA-L@rootsweb.com My friends - I generally do not bring you news about RootsWeb, whose servers house some 4000 mail lists, including this one, because I know you all get the RootsWeb Review about once a week, which pretty well covers what is going on within RootsWeb. However, on one of the lists which we list hosts use to discuss list problems and other items of mutual interest, a discussion was started by a few people concerning the tiny salaries paid to a few people who give practically all of their time to the RootsWeb Cooperative(they were complaining - if you can believe it - about them getting paid at all). As most of you know, RootsWeb was created by, and is "owned" by Dr. Brian Leverich and his wife Karen Isaacson, both superb computer people and genealogists. They created RootsWeb and they have funded 90% of it out of their own pockets since its creation. This means that they have a houseful of computer equipment, as well as other equipment in a hub elsewhere, that runs all of these lists, as well as web pages and other items for the USGenWeb - the effort is huge and growing by leaps and bounds. However, their corporate sponsor, Palladium, has disappeared into a merger with another company, and that funding has evaporated. It seems unclear whether any other corporation will step forward to help underwrite these huge costs. In the message which Brian sent to the listowner list, he makes the first mention of danger to the whole RootsWeb concept. He is rarely pessimistic, and if he is concerned, then we all need to be concerned. He finds it particularly depressing that only a small percentage (2%-6%) are helping to support RootsWeb in any way, even though there are literally hundreds of thousands of people regularly using the mail lists and the other web pages and items which RootsWeb hosts. You can see that he has taken out a $25,000 loan just to try to keep the equipment growing with the needs of RootsWeb. The bottom line is that if we, as users of these RootsWeb services, cannot help with a few dollars(and it does not have to be much at all, if we all get involved)in support of this fine group, we are in very real danger of losing these mail lists and literally hundreds of web pages of genealogical material(including the JP Images Page and many, many others)that is today available. Please give this some thought, and see if you can find a few dollars that you could donate to RootsWeb to keep this effort alive. I have long said that Brian and Karen cannot forever continue to incure financial hits in the range of ten of thousands of dollars at a time, and still be able to keep RootsWeb alive. Take a look at: www.rootsweb.com and you can see how to donate if you wish to do so. I urge you to consider it. It is a great investment. Brian's message follows. Let's see if we can make it a merrier Christmas for Karen and him. My apologies for the lengthy message, but I think it needed to be said. -B ============================================================ Karen and I are in the hole on RootsWeb; not only have we not been paid anything, we've been paying out of our pockets for the privilege of working here night and day without weekends or holidays. (Just *today* Karen and I took out a $25,000 loan to cover the fact that the Palladium sponsorship has apparently died with their acquisition by TLC, and to pay for the hardware we're going to need to handle the new users we expect to have after Christmas.) Just so you fully understand what I've told you above, you should be aware that in terms of traffic RootsWeb is one of the *top 25* or so sites on the whole Internet. Folks who can run these sorts of facilities are absurdly rare (there are a few hundred of them in the whole world), and senior system administrators at the other "Top 25" sites generally have salary+benefits+option packages that run in the $200,000-500,000 per year and up range. ### Folks should be clear on the concept that the administration staff at RootsWeb is making a huge contribution to the genealogical community by essentially donating our time. The fact that each of us is personally donating services worth tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars a year is part of the reason we find it so depressing that only about 2-6% of our users are choosing to support RootsWeb at all, and that even among our supporters the average contribution is only one-third of what "tens of thousands of genealogists" (the Wall Street Journal) are spending at Ancestry.com. I don't think RootsWeb is going to fold anytime soon. But I'd be lying to you if I didn't tell you that the staff is seriously wondering whether the community values our efforts enough that continuing on with RootsWeb makes sense. The admin staff wants to give the genealogical community a great online genealogical library, but we can't do it if only 2-6% of our users will voluntarily choose to support us. Without more support, RootsWeb can't afford to buy the servers and bandwidth and scanners and such that we need to bring online the whole US Census and the British Birth/Marriage/Death records and all the other resources we'd like to make freely available to the entire community. Maybe Ancestry has it right. Lock up the resources and charge the users through the nose. Oh well. -B ==== MONTANA Mailing List ==== Montana State Genealogical Society: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mtmsgs --------------------------------------- Terry (Phil 4:13) Teri (Ps 37:5) Lancaster, OH http://www.greenapple.com/~pastor751 http://www.rootsweb.com/~mtwheatl/index.html http://www.rootsweb.com/~mnisanti/Isanti/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~cosanmig/ http://www.rootsweb.com/~comontro/index.html http://www.rootsweb.com/~codolore/index.html

My mother's maiden name was Michael Anne Newlin, daughter of John Wilson Newlin who was born in Montrose in April of 1898. His father and mother were James Franklin (or Franklin James) Newlin, born Nov 11, 1872 in Denver, and Dora Jane Hampton, daughter of the Rev. Wilson Hampton, pioneer resident of Montrose. I am unable to find when "Frank" Newlin and his sister Ida came to Montrose, who their parents were, if their parents came to Montrose, too, and, ultimately, the family's place of origin...US and/or England/Ireland. Would appreciate any help anyone can give on this. My mother's second cousin Edna Williams, of Montrose, has been working on the Hampton side of the family, but has been unable to find anything on the Frank Newlin connection, either. Many thanks....Chris Alvarez

My gggrandmother's brother, Sidney Whipple Snare, was in the Grand Junction area from about 1900 until his death in 1924, appearently living with his daughter and son-in-law Frank and Mary Preston. He was born in Licking County, Ohio and spent some of his youth and young adulthood in Fulton County, Illinois and maybe some time in Washington County, Kansas. Sidney and his second wife Sarah Ellen Babbitt are both buried in Orchard Mesa Cemetery. (First wife was Sarah Ogden). Frank and Mary Snare Preston and Frank's second wife, India Pearle Kayton are buried nearby. Sidney et al are buried at the far end of one section of the cemetery. In the same row, but at the other end of the same section of the cemetery are a family of Whipples and buried next to them is Frank's sister, Ethel Preston. I am not aware of any Snare connections to the Whipples or earlier conncetions between the Snares and the Prestons but this is too much of a coincident to be purely an accident. Frank was born in Wales and his father in law, Sidney Snare's father and grandfather were both American born, the grandfather, born appearently just after the revolutionary war. If this turns on any lightbulbs for anyone I would love to exchange information and maybe communicate with a VERY DISTANT cousin. Vicky Drake dvicky@primenet.com

Sharon, It was just a beautiful day and I got my errands done early so decided to go to the Olathe Cemetery. In luck,no snow except under the evergreens. There were two PLATT stones: LOUIS C.or G. PLATT,Jan 12,1871-Dec 29,1949; a few feet away was: LOURA PLATT,March 12,1840-April 28,1906,66y 1m 16d,"At Rest". It did say Loura not Laura,the letters arn't worn. These graves are at the very back of the cemetery,abt the second row from the end of the cemetery. Hope this helps,Kay ksuckow@rmi.net

Anybody in Grand Junction, Montrose or the surrounding area know someone by this name??? Very important that I find the right one!!!

Hello. As far as I know, there is no book or paper record with the Olathe Cemetery's listing. I would appreciate knowing if there is one also. I have been considering writing a book listing all the North Fork's cemeteries and occupants. If there already is one that would be kind of silly. I did make contact with the keeper of the records just last Memorial Day to find my grandparents' graves (James Burney and Mary Ida BRADSHAW). If you would like I will find that information again and send it to you. Sincerely, Michael Fisk Grand Junction, CO
