1. Does anyone have Paul Carter's address (e-mail or snail mail)? 2. This brings me to something I've been meaning to do for a while. I like to keep a list of everyone's e-mail and snail mail addresses, as well as phone numbers, so that when I (or someone else on the list) "misplaces" someone, I have a ready reference. I did this at one point last year, so if nothing has changed, you need not reply. If you haven't sent me your information before, however, I would appreciate it. Please send it to me at my personal address of celam@pdq.net rather than sending it to the list. Thanks. Cassie

In a search for ELEAM, this came up. Does anyone know what language this is, or what this says? Thanks. Diane http://www.hedbergska.sundsvall.se/amnen/fs/wwwboard/messages/2299.html

I notice Baker as one of the names you research. Could you please send area and names to me at ervin@border.net. I also am researching Bakers, but am not on the mailing list. TIA Lolene

Nope Thomas....nice try...but that is John Henry Elam....sheee would have been soooo nice if it had been Hiram.. Herman

I just looked at the data base for Elams. I am a descendent of Lemuel Elam, father of Leah Jane Elam who married James Jonathan Youngblood (Warren County, Tn). I noticed that Lemuel's brothers are listed as Reuben, Jonathan, James H, and John C. His parents are listed as John Elam born in 1776 in Chesterfield Co. Va, married to Martha Archer. I would like to know where this information was found? I have not been able to find any documents showing Lemuel's parents. Also, there are some errors in the children of Harvey and Caroline Read Youngblood. Do you want corrections? Also, do you want all names and birthdates for this line?

I have not been able to find any information about Dora ELAM (b.1885-d.ca.1910) or any record of her parents. All I can say is that Dora had a daughter (b.1898-d.1995),was presumed to be married to Fred Lockett of Charlotte Co., VA and died in or near Charlotte Co. Dora ELAM may have been born in a southwestern VA county, perhaps Wise Co. and may have had a younger brother. It seems that the name Dora was somewhat common in the 1800's and may have been a diminutive of other names, such as Isadora, Doreen, Doris, Dorthea, Dorothy, etc. Any kind of information relating to this would be GREATLY appreciated. email: NPVA3124@aol.com

I should have kept reading instead of responding. My brother Richard Elam (married to Diane O'Hare) is the son of Neal and Edith Clark Elam. I didn't find myself listed (yet). Sorry if I am a nuisance today. Marilyn Elam Lynn

My dad, Neal Elam (married to Edith Clark), is in the listing of Elams without parents. His father & mother are Simon P. Elam and Annie Patrick Elam. I just sent a response about finding my GGGPs in a previous email. Let me know if you need additional info. Marilyn Elam Lynn

Thanks for the update. I was finally able to find out for certain that my GGGPs were Gilbert and Catherine Cooley Elam. My GGPs were Benjamin and Emily Holbrook Elam. My GPs were Simon P. and Annie Patrick Elam. It did however, list Simon P. Elam as living, he died 9/2/56. Thanks again. Marilyn Elam Lynn

Cassie, Thank you so much for all your hard work with the new updates. They will benefit all of us and of course, many in the future. I am in search of the parents of WILLIS M. ELAM & SARAH OLIVER ELAM SEAY that are on your list of persons without parents. Will let you know when more info is gained. There are several others searching for SARAH, as well. Perhaps, with all of us looking, one of us will come up with some answers. I trust so. God Bless. Diane

Hi Cassie: When you get a chance could you tell me if I can contact the person who submitted the SHARP Family. If they would correspond with me I would appreciate it. Carol Hurley

I have just received a box Looney family memorabilia from the State of Tennessee. Included was a picture of a young girl of about 3-5 years of age. The name on the picture is Etta Lee Elam. Does any one have information on her? I any one would like a copy, I would be glad to have it done at my cost. Thank you, Thomas E.

Just wanted to let you know I've updated the database at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/9156/elammain.htm There are now 15180 individuals (up from 14096) and 5442 families (up from 5104) representing 2556 surnames in this database. I have also added a section called "Elams Without Parents" at http://www.geocities.com:80/Heartland/Prairie/6831/unlinked.htm This is a list of all of the Elams (and spelling variants) in the database for whom I have no parents listed. This is about 45 pages long, so I don't advise printing the entire thing. If you should happen to see someone on the list for whom you do have parental information, I would appreciate you dropping me a line. Thanks. Cassie

Loved the updates! However, under Cathy Sue Eleam and Michael E Gibson, the daughter Victoria Marie should read Victoria Michele. I do love the rest of it though!

I received this on another list - very informative!

Hi List, This list sure has been quiet lately. Still searching for info on WILLIS M. ELAM (VA 1812) and his sister, SARAH OLIVER ELAM SEAY (1806 VA). Can anyone help me find what county they were from? Diane

My son in Richmond Va read in his local newspaper that "cousin" Joe Elam, 69 of Hilton Head, SC was attacked by an 8-foot alligator while restocking his bird feeder. He was listed in good condition at a local hospital. Sending quick recovery wishes. Amy Elam Wareham
