I'm looking for information on Byron Covey who married Mary J. Allen. They lived in Oklahoma and had three children: John Covey - b. April 6, 1887 Marquis William Covey - b. July 27, 1891 Bryan L. Covey - b. October 24, 1899 Does anyone know who Byron's parents were? Thanks, Sherrill Johnson

I'll add my 2 cents worth as well; BLAZEMAX said it all - leave the site alone and get back to reality. How many times have we searched records (anywhere) and found errors? Did we write letters to the editor of the local newspaper and demand that the Public Library make corrections? Or insist that the County fix mistakes in the way my grandmother Covey's first name is spelled? I found the posted data to be of great benefit, and if there are some errors, what else is new? Get a life, people.

I don't usually post, but do read the postings. As a Covey descendent I take exception to the discussion that the information should be removed. The fact is that with the information being posted, it is likely to get into the hands of those who need it. I personally have found family members or web pages accidentally. I have also shared information with others, and thought the receivers were grateful and never represented the work as mine alone. Does it really matter were the information comes from? Copyright issues, intellectual property? A compilation of facts that is a matter of public record and the work of many does not in my opinion qualify anyone to sit in judgement of others. Merely making the information available on a web site does not mean you are taking credit for the work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Several of you believe I was wrong in insisting that the discussion over Ms. Robison's website be taken off the list. I don't have a problem with the discussion of copyright issues, intellectual property, etc..And I certainly don't have a problem with discussing the errors (of which there are MANY) on that site. I personally feel the site benefits no one. I have absolutely NO problem in a discussion on the list on about what should be posted to the web, and the rights of uploading what you yourself has created, but I don't want this woman harassed THROUGH the list. You can write her all you want on your own. You may address her on the list in the third person -- a discussion of what is being done is fine. Ordering her to remove material from her page through the list is not. I personally feel the material should be taken down. It's certainly not her own work, and it has too many errors to be an asset to anyone who falls in to it. Hope that clarifies the situation a little more. I do not want this to turn into flaming. I've been on too many of those lists and you lose readers. We need all the COVEY reseachers we can get to help resolve the issues we are really here for!

Ms. Robison, I feel that my privacy has been invaded by you making public the data on living descendants. You have made so many errors in my line, Noble Covey died 1848 in Lee Co VA. Please remove all the info from your web page. #282 a female born 1905 gave birth to a child in 1907??? Jo

Ms. Robison: I again ask you to remove the Big Daddy information from your web site. The information is a result of many many people shareing information but still has not been checked out. I sent you the information for working purposes and not to post on a web site taking full credit for the work of many people. I have thousands of hours invested in the collection of this information and at one fell swoop you put it on a Family Tree Maker web site and they will keep the information and sell it along with millions of other pieces of information collected in much the same manner as you have so freely given. You have promised to remove it right away. It has still not been removed.

Just wanted to let some of you know that I have put up some info now on the COVEY-YARNES lines under the new YARNES site. I don't have a lot but go check it out if you're connected to one of these. Also, if I don't have you listed yet as being interested in the YARNES line, let me know. Not one person on here has contacted me to place their name under the Samuel COVEY - YARNES line, and I KNOW there are a slew of you out there! Let me know ! : http:\\www.geocities.com\Heartland\Acres\3500\yarnes.html If you have other material to contribute on YARNES, I'd love to put it with the additional info I have and that I'm planning to add -- send it, by all means!.

Pam, Thank you for forwarding this to the list. Mary

You are so right....This message is definitely worth forwarding to the list -- a great deal of info (of which I hope to add to the YARNES page within a day or two).

Mary and myself and others in the dark: My thoughts ---- Post to the list please. Pam has asked in the past that we share on the list,so that we Know what is New or "old hat". I've seen the Question --- and I've seen the Thank You ----- other than that I'm without a clue as to "what goes where, or why"

Too bad those replies weren't put out for all of us who are researching the Covey family. Most of these replies would have benefited others also. On most of the lists I am on, these replies are put on for everyone to benefit from. Maybe we should consider making all replies unless extremely personal be sent to the list.

I'm currently working on a YARNES page, since so very many of them ammried into COVEY lines. Believe me, this page is in its infancy stage right now, but I am looking for family info on the descendants of Hope COVEY and Eunice YARNES to add to teh page. I imagine that there is someone out there who can save me a lot of time and aggravation. It's not my line, and I could go digging, but why start from scratch when a descendant researcher can have their info (only a few generations, since these would be COVEYs and not YARNES) connected to the name, and researchers would contact them??? Anyway -- please check out: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/3500/yarnes.html and if you do have Hope COVEY descendant info, please let me know. I'd like to get as much on the se lines as possible on the first few generations...maybe we'll be able to connect up some of these looseYARNES, as well as COVEYS in the process!

Hello - I am looking for information on my Covey Family. My Grandfather Howard William Covey was born 20 Jan 1930 in Forkston, PA to William Jonathan Covey (b. 1875/1879 and d. 9 Jan 1931) and Jesse Burgess. William's parents were James M. Covey and Mary E. Rodgers (Rogers). James' parents were Steven Covey and Mary Johnson. Does anyone have any information on this line??? Thanks, Shannon Knapp Shannon Knapp

Hi List, I found this in the VERMONT STANNARD newspaper dated 2 May 1872. Not sure who this Thomas Covey is. "Washington County - Thomas H. COVEY, who murderously assaulted E. A. HEATH at Montpelier, last Saturday, was sent to jail on Monday in default of $2000 bonds, to await trial at the September term of the county court. He is also under $5000 in a suit for private damages in the same case." Arleen Huesman wajrhues@sover.net

In 1995 I did a line by line on film #0444680 at LDS for 1/2 of City of Cincinnati. (Ward 1 & 2) Since I have a George Covey in my line I copied info for George Covey.. This is not my George, and know nothing more about him. This in Ward 2, pages 73-146 George Covey, age 25, born Mass, occupation: Furniture Business, $2500 Caroline E., age 25, born NY, Willard E., age 2, born Ohio Charles E., age 4, born Ohio Good luck.
