Hi Cousins... I found a website while surfying... http://www.sunnydaze.com and I found it a wonderful resource tool.... Here is what some of it says: This gentleman spend 35 years researching and tracking his family. While tracking his family, he got side tracked and wrote 10 volumes of tombstone inscriptions in the Shenandoah Valley of VA and two large volumes of marriages in the Valley. Additionally, he collected a monumental amount of informatin on almost everyone sho's path he crossed. He became ill with Alzheimers and confined to a care facility, but, his daughter found and brought all his research to her house. There were over 100 boxes of research. She has placed her father's work on the internet: http://www.sunnydaze.com I have not personal interest in this website; however, I found it and thought it would be a great resource for all of us researchers and am sharing this information with you....

Kaite, the dates, 1858 and 1860, were the dates shown for land purchases from the federal government in AL. H. Jack DYESS enlisted May 11, 1862 at Montgomery, AL as a Private, Company K, 33rd Regt. Alabama Infantry. He was wounded in the Battle of Murfreesboro, was sent to a hospital, was captured at Stone's River, and died Jan 29, 1863 at Murfreesboro, from the gun shot wound. Thank you for your interest.

My wife's ggrandfather was H. Jack DYESS, b. 16 Dec 1840, GA, d. 29 Jan 1863, Murfreesboro, TN while serving with the CSA. He was m. to Mary Ann Elizabeth REVEL, b. 1840, GA, d. 1928, Pike Co. AL. I have the Alabama GLO CD, and I note that in 1858 the following DYESS purchased land from the gov in AL. Since both REVEL and FILLINGIMs also purchased land in the same location in 1858 and 1860, I suspect one of the DYESS was most likely Jack's father. Hopefully someone can help me fill in a blank.

HI.... This came from the GREER listing that I belong to.... Thought it might be of interest to some about the free searches of the UMI obit Thanks..... kaite.... For the next week, Ancestry is offering free searches of the database of UMI obituaries, 1990-1997. A search for "Greer" yields 1820 hits. There's no way I can see to limit a text search, so one gets obits where the person died/lived in Greer SC, the funeral was conducted by Rev. Greer, or the funeral home was Greer-Smith. However, when the obit has a true Greer listing, the info can be astonishing. They are, of course, recent deaths, genealogically speaking, but may help find cousins.

HI... This message was sent to a Dyess cousin who sent it to another DYESS cousin and that DYESS cousin forwarded it to me to cut and paste to the group... Can anyone help Jan Stevens (ssteve55@gorge.net)????? Thanks!!! kaite... Forwarded Message: Subj: Dyess family Date: 98-03-03 00:17:31 EST From: ssteve55@gorge.net (JAN STEVENS) To: DonaldL519@AOL.com Your name was given to me by Austin Davis. He said that you might be able to assist me in my search for information on my Mississippi Dyess ancestors. I am working on Eleanor Dyess who was born about 1820, the daughter of William Dyess (according to my great grandfather). The names Henry and Christopher Dyess have also come up as relatives. Eleanor married John Wesley Walker (from SC) about 1838 in Mississippi. I would appreciate any assistance that you might give. Thanks, Jan Stevens ssteve55@gorge.net

HI... This came from another listing; however, I just went there appears to be a lot of material... Thanks!!! kaite...

Hi, I am new to the list today....Does anybody have the spelling DICE, DEICE and / or DEISE in their family base? I think the group I am interested in began in the Colonies in and around Baltimore, MD and gradually found their way up the Susquehanna River to York/Lancaster Counties and then on to Clinton/Lycoming Counties of Pennsylvania. -- Dick Deise 199 Carolyn Road Union, NJ 07083-9402 ddeise@erols.com
