Oops. I forgot to mention that the name "Romy" here in west-central Ohio is also used for "Jerome" as well as "Roman".

Perhaps it was a form of the man's name "Roman". You could hear this name here in west-central Ohio. Men who have it are called "Romy".

Hello Listers, Has anyone ever heard the surname "Romey" in connection with anything? I know this is a strange question but I have been told this is a surname in connection with the Price family I am researching, their was a child by the name of Romy Price born in 1882, he died at a very young age. I was told by someone in the family that there were Romy's in or around the Kent Co. Delaware and Eastern Shore Md areas. I however have not once seen this name anywhere. Thanks, Sharon

Is anyone working on Ephraim Blackwell of McClellanville DE ca. 1860's or his parents? Lynn Sinclair

I 'm looking for the parents of my grandfather (5) Ephiram Shaw b 1776 d 1831 married Margaret Thackery b1768 d 1851 Both are buried in Salem Baptist Cemetery Penns neck Salem County. They had at least one son Ephiram Shaw born 1815 d 1896 and is buried in Broad Street Cemetery Bridgeton.I have a lot of information on this family but nothing beyond Ephiram Shaw & Margaret Thackery. I suspect there were other children but do not know for sure. I would like to know where Ephiram Sr. was born as well as Margaret Thackery. This family has strong ties to Cumberland County, in and around Bridgeton also Salem County and Mercer County.and Possibly Delaware. I Would be happy to get any information anyone might have. and I'm willing to share what I have. Bob Shaw Hamilton, NJ

I am looking for information on Eliza Ann Wilson and her husband ? Wilson. I don't know her maiden name but she was born in 1736. They had a son, Ephraim Wilson who was born in 1756. Ephraim Wilson was fighting Indians at the age of 17 in 1774 in Yokogania Co. PA/VA at that time. His father was probably dead by 1774. Any information about this family would be helpful. Thank you, Carolyn

Thanks so much, Sharon. So nice of you.

Dear Mr. Moody, Is your source a DE or a MD source? I'm so confused by this marriage, so I really appreciate any help you can give. Thanks again, Betty Garesché Torno St. Louis, MO

Hi DELAWARE researchers, These are the same guidelines that have served us very well over on the LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS list. If you have any questions, just give me a yell <g>. There are really very few rules involved in becoming and remaining a subscriber to this list. The main rule is that all list members remain pleasant with each other. That is, no "flames", or notes with a mean or angry tone, will be tolerated on the list at all. If you are unhappy about something another listmember has posted, please contact the list administrator with your concerns. I ask that you do not send your complaint directly to the listmember or to the list itself. Also, if it comes to my attention that one list member is sending "flames", harassing, threatening or vulgar messages to another, either on the list or off of it, the offending member will be unsubscribed and blocked from posting or subscribing to the list. The only other request I have is that posts to the lists must be pertaining to some aspect of Delaware genealogy. I realize that, occasionally, someone may wish to post a message which is not technically on-topic, but for some reason has particular importance to the list. Please clear these with the listowner before posting. Short, *one-time* commercial messages advertising services or products are allowed if they are of particular interest to the group. But please, no email spamming. And finally, searches for living persons are not allowed. Now, I know that cases come up in which someone may be looking for someone who has or might have specific genealogical information or records (for example, a family Bible that mentions your ancestor), or you may wish to post a message looking for living descendants of an ancestor for the purpose of exchanging information, and this is OK. Thanks, Shari Handley shari@tyaskin.com DELAWARE-L list admin

Greetings, DELAWARE-L subscribers, My name is Shari Handley, and I am the new list administrator. I'd like to send my appreciation to Pat Hall for her service to this list, and for giving me the chance to follow in her footsteps as admin. I am also the new State Coordinator for the Delaware USGenWeb Project (DEGenWeb). I see the DEGenWeb site and the DELAWARE-L mailing list as complimentary to each other. I hope that you all will use both to help you further your research in Delaware. The DEGenWeb site has recently been updated, and you can see it at http://www.rootsweb.com/~degenweb/ . Another of my duties is as list admin for the LOWER-DELMARVA-ROOTS mailing list, which enjoys a very active subscribership of over 850 members. I've learned some valuable lessons in my 5 years working with LDRoots, and these have led me to administer my lists in a low-key way, but with just a few guidelines to help ensure that things run smoothly. I will post these in a message to follow, and would ask that you take a moment to read them over. If you ever have any questions, I'm just an email away! :) Happy to be here, Shari Handley shari@tyaskin.com DELAWARE-L list admin

Ken, Sorry, I'm no help, Not a one. Sharon

Lori, Stevensville Cemetery Rt. 18 Stevensville, MD, Larry Steven Jordan A2C USAF Vietnam, June 29,1946-Sept.23,1980 Donald Ray Jordan July 8,1978 Aug. 8 1991 The only 2 in three books. Hope it helps Sharon

We have a new list administrator. She will be sending info to the list soon. Please welcome her. and I thank her for answering the call so soon. Pat Hall reaghgeny@aol.com

Sharon, do you have any GOSLEE names in your book? Thanks for checking. Ken Goslee

Is there anyone on this list who would like to administer this list. I am having to cut back, due to health problems, and would like to give one of you the chance to contact me before I turn it back over to Rootsweb. first come first serve. Pat Hall ListAdmn of Delaware-L reaghgeny@aol.com

It is not just the Delaware List that is having problems. I understand it is a Microsoft thing, which does affect AOL. We just have to wait until they iron out the problem. ListAdmn of Delaware-L reaghgeny@aol.com

Thanks for rechecking and for your time.
