Hi list, This is a great sight for Irish research it had been down for a while but is now on-line again: www.local.ie Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

Hi, I received this from another e-mail list & thought it might help someone trying to read an "old stone." Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) I have been ask to list my method of reading old cemetery stones. I use corn starch in an old thin men's sock. I fill the sock, then tap it along the face of the stone. It works great & does not damage the stone, the first rain washes it away. I keep it in a plastic bag & in a small box. I can't take credit for this process, A lady gave it over one of my e-mail list. I don't remember which, I got it one night & used it next day. Good timing <Grin> Good Luck Gayle garr@ruraltel.net

Hi, I suspect that they are not... The name William is the only one that is a name in my Jacksons... not one of the others, are names in my line-up... However, I'm going to forward your email to a cousin and let him give it a look-see...

List Members My Great Grandfather Eugene Merritt Burris b. abt 1859 and his brother J F Burris b abt 1851 moved to California from Delaware in abt 1875. J F Burris married L A Burris abt 1877 in CA, had a son, G B Burris b abt 1878 in CA and a daughter, L Burris b abt 1880 in CA. I am sorry that I don't have their first names. Eugene Merritt Burris married Lillian Gertrude Swett b abt 1868 in OK; near San Francisco CA (Bay Island) on 3 Dec 1884, had a son, Eugene H Burris b 14 Mar 1887 and a daughter Lillian Madeline Burris b 15 Apr 1891 (my Grandmother), both born in San Francisco. They had another son, Rodney C Burris b abt 1902 in Utah and another daughter, Ruth Gertrude Burris b 26 Jul 1906 in Seattle WA. Ruth married William Alfred Oldfield on 13 Dec1926 in Kirkland WA and they had a daughter Gloria Oldfield b abt 1929. This all the information that I have. If you know any more info, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. I don't know my Great Great Grandparents names nor their parents names or where they are from or if there are any brothers or sisters to Eugene and J F. I would like to know all of my current relatives and all of my decendants. Respectfully Jean Benson jbenson578@cybertrails.com

I received this from my cousin Richard BINGLER: I know Paul Bessel, he's a great resource. But remember the George Washington Masonic Memorial has an extensive library and it is open to the public. Call first to ensure that someone will be there. There is also a very, very large library at the Scottish Rite House of the Temple in Washington, DC. They have the library staffed daily, but I believe that they prefer reservations for researchers. Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS)

Hi List, I received this from another mailing list & thought it was of interest to those doing genealogy research! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) My gg grandfather was also in the Order of Redmen and I sent off for info from their main offices (located in Texas). They sent me a letter, courtesy copying the local representative in PA., and stated my gg grandfather's records would be stored in the state/locale where he was a member. The man's name is Brad Buchanan and he did write and let me know that he would look for the records when he could. That was 2 years ago. Guess I should follow up on that one - but, you may find info about the Redmen and other fraternal orgs. at the following web site. Good luck! http://www.bessel.org/fratorgs.htm

Hi all, New to this list - looking for ANY info on ANY Clifton before 1820. At this point my Unknown Clifton was b. around 1780 in DE, maybe earlier. He married Louisa - Lovey - Luisa - Unknown in DE probably 1801 - 02 . She may have been a Messick - Messack - Messic. They had a number of sons. In 1819 Louisa and sons are found in Steubenville, OH where she remarried an Arthur Van Kirk, Sr. I would appreciate any crumb. Faith keahey@fiberpipe.net
