To all, I am researching the DE tax lists from 1780 - 1820 or so and would really like to have some authoritative background information about the tax regulations at the time. Does anyone know of a good source, or maybe there is someone on the list who can answer my basic questions, such as: 1. Which people were taxed? Was it all free, white males over 21? or maybe a different definition? 2. Was land ownership a requirement? 3. Were slaves taxed as property? The laws may have changed and evolved through the time period I'm interested in, too. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, David Sapp

Family Tree DNA has also started a KNOTT/KNOTTS, etc study group. All both of us! We're looking for KNOTTS' spelled with and without a "k", with a "s", and all variations. I've even talked to a Polish KNOTTS'. And I think there is a group of German KNOTTS' who spell their name KNODTS. Everyone is welcome. We will get some people who are unrelated, but it should be very interesting. If you are a male KNOTTS, or variant, and are interested, please contact me at raknotts@qwest.net. But don't ask me any technical questions. ---yet. Bob

I too feel that Kathleen deserves this award and my wife and I are so happy that Rootsweb recognized her. I had the opportunity to meet Kathleen while visiting Utah several years ago. She took time off from work to introduce us to the Mormon Family History Center and to the Everton Publishing Company Library. She made my wife and I feel that there was nothing else in the world she would rather be doing than helping us. Elaine, don't worry. If she slaps your hands I am sure it will not be very hard. Charles Smith Fellow List Members; Our List Mom is going to slap my hands on this one, so I am asking for her forgiveness up front and she is really going to get upset when I ask you to pass this to other lists you are on of hers----but Did you know Kathleen Burnett our List Mom is the Spotlighted Rootsweb Volunteer of the Month? http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/spotlight/ Knowing that she would never tell us, I wanted you to know.

Dear List Members, If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller’s Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the archived messages of this list or any other Rootsweb mailing list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily pick out the surnames you are looking for. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now, the hardest thing is, when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting from one of us. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents when they send their unhappiness to the entire list. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at Kathleen.burnett@era.com or in the evenings at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me. Kathleen Burnett List Mom KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net

Date: Sat, Mar. 8, 2003 From: <peter19252000@juno.com> Subject: Samuel Edward Cole Dear LISTERS: For many years I have been searching for a photo of my late step-father: SAMUEL EDWARD COLE who was born in Cherry Hill, MD., (Cecil Co.) in 1885. He was a well-known paper mill worker in Maryland and then Delaware ( at Curtis Brother Paper Mill). In 1918 he lived at 48 No. Chapel St., in Newark, DE. with my mother, CLARA (nee Gusberg) whom he married in Hartford, CT. in Aug. 1917. He died in June 1940 at 28 Choat St., Newark, DE., while living with his sister Mrs. William (Ida) Morrison. I would gladly pay for any information, photo or text that you can provide. Advancing age and declining health limit my ability to travel much to perform my own on-site research. Thank you. peter19252000@juno.com

Great find, Mr/Ms Webber: This is a printed, not a computer generated list, but regardless, this list, dated 1946, broken down by county of origin within state, gives name, rank, service number and status (such as KIA) of both dead and missing through Jan 31, 1946. The number will help access other records. For more information, read the pages listed as 'Foreward', which precede the county pages, probably for each state. The service numbers fall into various series. They are decidedly not social security numbers - that change didn't come until 1969 or 1970. Most numbers are numeric, of varying lengths. There was no incentive before computers to worry about all numbers being the same length. A number such as O-123456 or O-123456-L is, I believe, a reserve officer, last name beginning with L, from at least the 1930s. The O is a letter, if you need to type it in at some other site. ----- Original Message ----- From: <HMWEBBER@aol.com> To: <DEKENT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 7:36 AM Subject: [DEKENT] WWII Casualties > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JRB.2ACE/1171 > > Message Board Post: > > The National Archives and Records Administration has placed on the Internet a > list of military casualties which occurred during World War II.
