THANK YOU! So very much for all the information about Downings in Oregon and their cemeterys! Chuck and Linda Downing

it must not be there anymore, i was looking for it today and couldn't find it. if i do i will post the address!, joe >Joe, > Can you find the web site for "Ellis Ancestors" by Boles?

Jim, I think you have a great idea! I would be willing to participate. When you are ready let me know and I will submit my line info. Sue Hodnett

Joe, Can you find the web site for "Ellis Ancestors" by Boles? I would really like to view it. The Downings don't sound like ours, but I also have Ellis ancestors. Sue Hodnett

I don't think mentioning a web page is going to give us the database visualized here. The idea is to have a look at the names IN ONE PLACE and see if there are connections or possible connections. At least that's the way I understand it.

you can do the same with mine, Timothy Downing c.1740s-1799 on www.jps.net/egals/downing i must mention that this web page is managed by terry not me so give credit where it is due. joe >In a message dated 1/14/99 6:16:04 PM PST, james.a.downing@gte.net writes: > ><< Please let me know your thoughts on this (DIP) project :-) > james.a.downing@gte.net > >> >Good idea, Jim, although rather than re-posting mine, just mention my Downing >web page at <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/RDown3657/index.html">Home Page of >Ray Downing</A> Ray > > >==== DOWNING Mailing List ==== > > >

To all Downing subscribers: I think it is time that we establish a membership list so as to identify to each other and to "newbies" just who we are researching. I would be willing to manage this list, update it as necessary, and post the availability of such a list as often as needed. The list owner has approved this project. We can refer to it as the DIP project (pun intended). The lineage could be sent to me james.a.downing@gte.net with the oldest proven ancestor & spouse in the subject line and their e-mail address at the bottom of the body as follows: <Subject line> John Downing (b.1652 MA) & Mary Bunce Meekins <body> 1. John Downam/DOWNING (b. abt. 1621 Eng or Ire?) 2. John DOWNING (b. 1 Sept 1652 Braintree, MA) m. Mary Bunce Meekins 3. Jonathon DOWNING (b. Jan 1676/77 Hatfield, MA) m. Mary Perigo 4. Jonathon DOWNING (b. 11 Oct 1703 Groton, CT) m. Elizabeth Gates 5. Stephen DOWNING (b. 3 July 1737 Canterbury, CT) m. Abigail Butler 6. David DOWNING (b. 21 Feb 1769 Canterbury,CT) m. Ruth Bingham 7.

Martha Rose Beeler The body of the post needs to be as brief as possible, while still giving enough information for someone to connect with. I don't need your entire gedcom. Notice each generation includes male descendant, his birthdate and place, and his spouse's name. No more than this please. Dates of living family members should be left out and only use their state of birth. Capitalize last names of males only. NOTE: By sending me your data, you are authorizing me to post it and your e-mail address to this group from time to time. It would also be nice if you would include your oldest ancestor line at the beginning of your regular posts and queries, so as to quickly identify which line you are referring to. Please let me know your thoughts on this (DIP) project :-) james.a.downing@gte.net Happy Hunting! Jim Downing Sarasota, FL
