Good Morning, I am looking for information about Reuben DENSMORE who married Polly GOODALE 13 Mar 1800 in Boylston , Worcester, MASS. Polly was born 20 Apr 1776 in Holden MA. They had a daughter Dorinda DENSMORE who was born in west Boylston, Worcester, MA on 25 Feb 1811. I have no other information about this family. Would appreciate any hints or information. THANKS Joan Barber
I just got this announcement and wanted to pass it along to you There is a new resource, Classified Ads Boards, that can now be found from a link on the cluster page for our surname. As you know the Cluster page serves as a navigation aid to all resources for our surname housed on RootsWeb. The Cluster page for the DUNSMOOR, DENSMORE, DINSMORE surnames can be found at: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/d/u/DUNSMOOR/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/d/e/DENSMORE/ http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/d/i/DINSMORE/ You know that advertising (even when it can be helpful in our genealogical research) is generally not allowed on our mailing list and GenConnect boards. In an effort to help genealogists locate genealogical items, or list items being offered for sale, for example, out of print books you might be looking to sell or purchase, RootsWeb has created Classifieds at RootsWeb. These Classified Ad Boards work in the same way the GenConnect boards work and are only to be used for items of a genealogical nature pertaining to the surname shown on the board. These boards provide an outlet to help in our research for items that couldn't be properly listed elsewhere on RootsWeb. Enjoy them and use them to your best advantage!
I was at the research library for my county today and picked up a copy of the DAR Patriot Index, and copied all the entries for DENSMORE, DINSMORE, DUNSMOOR, DUNSMORE What I copied is below - please note that I am NOT a member of DAR, nor do I have any further information than what I have included, so please do not ask me any questions about the entries. BTW my ancestor is the first 'John' listed, and he's the only one I really know much about at all.

Now that you've all checked out the LDS www.familysearch.org - in you could get in :) Check out the latest at Rootsweb http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/ You can search for any surname and get a 'cluster' page of search engines for that surname. It's brand new, so there may still be a few bugs in the works, but this looks really great! In fact, there are some bugs with this surname. When I set up this mail list and the GenConnect message boards, I chose the old spelling of the name - DUNSMOOR. Because so many surnames have variant spellings, it was decided to open mail lists, etc., to each variant of the name. It's a little confusing, but you'll see what I mean when you visit the above URL. I still don't know exactly how the variants will be handled, but I'll try to adopt the message boards for DENSMORE and DINSMORE, too. And the new search engine for GenConnect http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/indx/FamAssoc.html looks great, too. Just type in the surname you're researching, and it'll do a soundex search for it. There are still a few problems with the addresses for the DUNSMOOR boards, but they will be taken care of shortly, I'm sure. As always, I urge you to support Rootsweb - did you know that only 7% of the those who use RW actually offer financial support? For more info, please see http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html Happy hunting, Gail
The Today Show is featuring its hosts this week in an "Exploring Our Roots" segment. Yesterday, Ann Curry was featured in her search for her mother's Japanese roots, and today was Al Roker's turn in his search in the Bahamas. Really, really interesting! This site will have more info http://www.msnbc.com/modules/genealogy/default.asp Gail

The promised LDS site is up - still as a test site, but no password required. Expect delays, time-outs, page-not-found messages, etc. since it's been really busy. It's www.familysearch.org and you can read all about it at : http://www.ancestry.com/columns/eastman/index.htm I'm not LDS, and all I know is what I just wrote, so please don't ask me any questions about the site. I'd just have to tell you I dunno <g>! Gail

Has anyone been able to sort out the Dunsmores in Old Monkland, Scotland? I understand that they are descended from brothers: Robert Dunsmore who married Janet Provand in 1702 --- and John Dunsmore who married Christian Donald in 1710. I have been able to take my Dunsmores back to John Dunsmore b. 1782 who married Jean Gray b. 1784 --- but can go no further back. Any suggestions from out there? Thanks, Jan in Lake Forest, California, USA
Grace, Apparently it's only a test site right now and open to just a few Beta testers. After they've worked out all the bugs, they'll open it to everyone. I'll let you know when it's finally up for real. Sorry for the confusion.

I just subscribed to this list in the last day or so, so I haven't been present for previous info about this site.

My Old Monkland/New Monkland Dunsmores were descended from Henry Dunsmore, b abt 1770, and Margaret Marshall. They were in Torphichen, Linlithgowshire at the time their children were born. Believe they were likely from that area but I cannot confirm Henry's parents.

Sorry that I apparently jumped the gun on spreading the word about the LDS web site. I'd been reading about its coming for a couple of weeks and got the word, from another list, that it was up yesterday. This morning I got in, but the server was "too busy". Now, apparently they have closed the site to select Beta testers. This is probably not a bad thing. They will work out the bugs, then refine the system, before making it available to all. The final show may not be online for a few weeks/months, but I'll let you know when it happens. I'm not LDS, so have no inside knowledge, but it looks like it will be a great help to our online searching when it's finally online. Worth the wait! Gail
