Hi Renee!   No problem - I knew what you meant.  :)  The range of dates varies according to the newspaper.  There are over 1700 newspapers in this database.  I have not had good luck finding any obits at all before about 1910 - 1920.  However, you never know!  Feel free to send me as many requests as you like.  I just did quite a few for David Brandenburg from Georgia and we found 3 - 4 of the ones he was looking for.

Hi David,   It completely depends on the newspapers from the area you are looking for.  Like I said, they are spotty.  Some cover 1980 - current day.  Some are 1880 - 1882.  It all depends on the area.  I didn't list all the newspapers because it's much easier just to do a search than look through the big long list.  And this is what I do for a living, so feel free to send me all of the names/dates you would like.  I love searching for info for people!  And it doesn't have to be Evans family people.  Feel free to ask for whoever you'd like.  But remember - I lose the ability to search this database after November 1, 2010.  It's a free trial offered to Illinois librarians.  However, it is a database that covers all of the U.S. more or less. ~Molly Miller-Rice --- On Sun, 10/17/10, J.

Hello all,   My name is Molly Miller-Rice and I am a descendant of the Evans line.  Here is how I fit in: Molly Beth Miller-Rice (me) (Illinois) Russell Scott Miller (my father) (Illinois) Robert Harold Miller (my grandfather d. 2008) (Illinois) Maon Junea Miller (my great-grandfather) d. late 1970s) (Illinois) William Henry Miller (my great-great-grandfather d. 1940s) (Illinois) America Ellen Evans-Miller (my great-great-great-grandmother d. 1917 - my daughter is named America after her) (born in Kentucky, died in Illinois) Raleigh Marion Evans Sr. (my g-g-g-g-grandfather d. 1909) (born and died in Kentucky) Isaac Evans Sr. (my g-g-g-g-g-grandfather b. 1781 Pennsylvania, died 1857 Kentucky) John Evans (my g-g-g-g-g-g-grandfather b. 1728 Maryland, died 1798 Pennsylvania) I have a copy of the Evans Family book that was printed in Kentucky in 1928.  I would be more than happy to scan it and email it to everyone who would like it.  Please let me know!  It's quite interesting.  My number one question on my Evans line is: Is Isaac Evans Sr. really the son of John Evans?  It seems he was born very late in his father and mother's lives.  It's physically possible, but unlikely.  Does anyone know for sure?  I'm so glad I found this group and more distant family! Thanks, Molly Miller-Rice Rushville/Beardstown, IL

Don't think so. Judy In a message dated 10/13/2010 4:16:45 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, listadministratorevans@earthlink.net writes: Could these Evanses be "ours" ????? Anyone know for sure one way or the other? EMERY ERICKSON EVANS, M. D. The state of Missouri with its pulsing industrial activities and rapid development has attracted within its confines men of marked ability and high character In various professional lines and in this way progress has been conserved and social stability fostered. He whose name initiates this review has gained recognition as one of the able and successful physicians of the state and by his labors, his high professional attainments and his sterling characteristics has justified the respect and confidence in which he is held by the medical fraternity and the local public. Dr. Evans, of New Florence, has specialized in eye, ear, nose and throat and expects to make these 'branches his life work. Dr. Emery E. Evans was born on his father's farm at Sheridan, Boone county, Indiana, October 24, 1875, a son of John Vesuvious Evans, who was born on the 4th of November, 1839, in Boone county and passed away in the year 1915. He .was a farmer and also a carpenter by trade and was a successful and prominent man in the community in which he resided. For many years he taught school and he was a highly educated man for his day. As a deep thinker and reader there was no question of that day, international or otherwise with which he was not familiar. He was a son of Samuel Evans, who was a native of Ohio, having been born in that state on the 1st of October, 1814. He married Miss Rozene G. Wilson, who was born in Ohio, April 25, 1818. After their marriage they removed to Boone county, Indiana, where they lived and reared a family. The great-grandfather of Dr. Evans was Samuel L. Evans, who removed to Ohio from Pennsylvania after his marriage. His father had removed to Pennsylvania from Virginia when a young man, and the progenitor of the Evans family in this country came from Wales when a young married man, settling in Virginia prior to the Revolutionary war. The mother of Dr. Evans was before her marriage Miss Sarah Jane Clark, who is still living and spends her time between New Florence and Springfield, Missouri, where her children reside. She was born in Indiana on the llth of May, 1842, a daughter of Ezra Clark. Her father was born in Ohio, September 19, 1811, and removed to Indiana, where he engaged in farming. Her mother was Harriett Hancock and she was born in Ohio on the1 5th of November, 1817, and was a member of the family by that name prominent in Ohio and Indiana. Her marriage to Mr. Clark occurred April 18, 1835, and they removed to Boone county, Indiana. The early education of Dr. Emery E. Evans was obtained in the common schools of Harrison, Boone county, Arkansas, where his parents had removed when he was but two years of age. He attended country schools until the family went to Springfield, Missouri, and then he entered the high school in that city. He was graduated from there with the class of 1897 and attended Simms Medical College for a period of. two years, after which time he attended the Beaumont Hospital College, from which he was graduated in 1901, receiving his degree of M. D. He likewise received his Ph. D. degree at this time and then removed to South Greenfield, Dade county, and started into practice. During his four years there he met with success and enjoyed an extensive practice. He then removed to Pomona, Howell county, Missouri, where he remained for about one year, at the termination of which time he went to Bois D'Arc, Greene county, where he practiced for three years. Dr. Evans then returned to Howell county and practiced at West Plains for seven years, and after a year's post-graduate work in St. Louis settled in New Florence, where he has since remained. He is regarded as a leading physician of New Florence and in addition to his practice conducts a drug store there. Although for many years he engaged in general practice he has now specialized in eye, ear, nose and throat, which branches he expects to make his life's work. On the 15th of July, 1901, Dr. Evans was united in marriage to Miss Daisy Grace Jones, a daughter of Andrew J. Jones, of Callaway county, who for many years was a prominent and successful farmer in his community. He went overland to California during the gold rush of 1849. He was born in Callaway county and his death occurred in 1901 at the age of sixty-nine years. One of the early members of the Jones family in Missouri was John Jones of Jones Tanyard, who came to Missouri prior to 1820 and settled in Callaway county on Auxvasse creek about ten miles east of Fulton on the old stage route to St. Louis. There he started a tanyard and about 1828 a postoffice was opened in his house and he became one of Callaway county's first postmasters, and this office he conducted until his death, which occurred in the early '50s. Before leaving Tennessee he had married a Miss Peake and to this union were born four sons and one daughter, the oldest son William, being the grandfather of Mrs. Evans. William Jones was born in 1810 and in 1833 was united in marriage to Miss Amanda Miller. To this union six sons and three daughters were born, the eldest son in this family being Andrew J. Jones, the father of Mrs. Evans. He was married in 1878 to Miss Susan R. Farmer, a daughter of Robison Farmer and to them were born: Daisy G., the wife of Dr. Evans; Lawrence P.; and Olive Bussley. The Jones family came to the United States from Wales and England and with the Peakes were pioneers of Virginia, Tennessee and Missouri. The Millers came from Kentucky to Missouri in 1820 and settled in Callaway county. Five generations of the old and prominent Jones family sleep in the old churchyard of the Auxvasse Presbyterian church, less than three miles from the old tanyard where most of them were born. The maternal ancestors of Mrs. Evans came from England, Scotland and Wales and were early settlers of Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky. Robison Farmer, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Bussley) Farmer, was born in 1816 in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. His mother was a daughter of General Bussley of Revolutionary fame. The father, Thomas Farmer, was a Kentucky pioneer and Indian fighter and was with Harrison at the battle of Tippecanoe. He was an uncle of Rev. Eli Price Farmer, the pioneer Methodist minister of Kentucky and Indiana. The Farmer family were closely connected to the Prices of Virginia. Robison Farmer's wife was Naomi Foster, daughter of James and Nancy Foster of Shepherdsville, Kentucky, who gave seven sons to the defense of the Union during the Civil war. To the union of Dr. and Mrs. Evans four children have been born: Wendell Levl; Lawrence Emery, now attending the New Florence high school; Kenneth Ralston, in same school and grade as his brother, Lawrence E.; and Daisy Naomi, attending school in New Florence. Wendell Levi Evans is now attending Central Wesleyan College at Warrenton, from which he expects to graduate in 1921. He is preparing to be a physician and surgeon. In politics Dr. Evans maintains an independent course although he favors the democratic party. Fraternally he is affiliated with the Masons, belonging to Florence Lodge No. 261, A. F. and A. M., of which he is past master and also the present master; Triune Chapter No. 93, R. A. M., at Wellsville; and Council No. 34, R. and S. M. of Centralia. He is likewise identified with West Plains Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and he is a member of the Eastern Star and Rebekahs, holding membership in Ionic Lodge No. 706. Dr. Evans is conductor of Zenith Lodge, I. O. O. F., at New Florence, and has been for several years. The Evans family are members of the Methodist church of New Florence but are of the faith of the Christian church which has no organization there. Dr. Evans is a man of many talents. Besides the success that he has achieved in his profession, he is a vocalist of much prominence. His father was also a vocalist of much ability and for some time taught singing. His voice had a range of three octaves and the Doctor has a range of nearly three octaves. The latter has appeared in quartette and solo parts in St. Louis and elsewhere and also has sung in church choirs in St. Louis and Springfield. He can play the violin and other musical instruments but does not claim to be proficient in this line. He had planned a musical career but took up a profession instead. His son Lawrence has inherited his musical ability and bids fair to gain prominence in this line. The other children are also musically inclined. Mrs. Evans is a graduate of SpiegelraeyeraConservatory of Music at Chicago, her musical education being obtained after the birth of her children. She is a lyric soprano, has done solo work in churches and societies, and has done some teaching along vocal lines. She is now studying pharmacy. Dr. Evans is in every sense of the word a self-made man and a citizen of whom New Florence has every right to he proud. He figures that after his children are educated and provided for he will complete his own education and career. He has already taken a course in shorthand and typing in the Southwest Business College at Springfield and spent one year in the manual school of that city. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to EVANS-RICHARD-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Mornin', Took a drive in the country yesterday and was listening a segment of Genealogy Gems with Lisa Cooke who was chatting with a genealogist. One of the genealogist's comments was that one of the most important things we can do for our research is to interview our oldest relatives .... Now... While we Can. That got me thinking and so once again I invite each of you to look at your family: parents, grandparents, aunt, uncles, cousins.... and ask yourself: Who might have valuable information, memories, stories... that I could preserve for future generations by conducting an interview ..... now? In our collection of published discussions there is an interview form. On our website is an interview form. If you can't think of the questions yourself, use that form to get you going. If you have a teenager you'd like to get involved, bring him or her to the interview. Give them some questions to ask. Let them hear the family stories first hand. Your relative will be honored by the attention your are paying to them.... by the respect you are giving them by taking an interest in their lives. And, if you are so inclined, please share the results with us. And here's yet another thing to keep in mind: we are the "older generation" for others to come. Project into the future. Someday someone will be searching for information on us, just as we are searching for information on our past generations. Why not leave an accurate account... complete with names, dates, observations? So...Write down your own memories. Tell about your families. Leave your memories for those who will be someday searching. But be specific. Be accurate. Be thorough. That's it... Keep in touch, cousins. R

Five generations of the old and prominent Jones family sleep in the old churchyard of the Auxvasse Presbyterian church, less than three miles from the old tanyard where most of them were born. The maternal ancestors of Mrs. Evans came from England, Scotland and Wales and were early settlers of Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky. Robison Farmer, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (Bussley) Farmer, was born in 1816 in Elizabethtown, Kentucky. His mother was a daughter of General Bussley of Revolutionary fame. The father, Thomas Farmer, was a Kentucky pioneer and Indian fighter and was with Harrison at the battle of Tippecanoe. He was an uncle of Rev. Eli Price Farmer, the pioneer Methodist minister of Kentucky and Indiana. The Farmer family were closely connected to the Prices of Virginia. Robison Farmer's wife was Naomi Foster, daughter of James and Nancy Foster of Shepherdsville, Kentucky, who gave seven sons to the defense of the Union during the Civil war. To the union of Dr. and Mrs. Evans four children have been born: Wendell Levl; Lawrence Emery, now attending the New Florence high school; Kenneth Ralston, in same school and grade as his brother, Lawrence E.; and Daisy Naomi, attending school in New Florence. Wendell Levi Evans is now attending Central Wesleyan College at Warrenton, from which he expects to graduate in 1921. He is preparing to be a physician and surgeon. In politics Dr. Evans maintains an independent course although he favors the democratic party. Fraternally he is affiliated with the Masons, belonging to Florence Lodge No. 261, A. F. and A. M., of which he is past master and also the present master; Triune Chapter No. 93, R. A. M., at Wellsville; and Council No. 34, R. and S. M. of Centralia. He is likewise identified with West Plains Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and he is a member of the Eastern Star and Rebekahs, holding membership in Ionic Lodge No. 706. Dr. Evans is conductor of Zenith Lodge, I. O. O. F., at New Florence, and has been for several years. The Evans family are members of the Methodist church of New Florence but are of the faith of the Christian church which has no organization there. Dr. Evans is a man of many talents. Besides the success that he has achieved in his profession, he is a vocalist of much prominence. His father was also a vocalist of much ability and for some time taught singing. His voice had a range of three octaves and the Doctor has a range of nearly three octaves. The latter has appeared in quartette and solo parts in St. Louis and elsewhere and also has sung in church choirs in St. Louis and Springfield. He can play the violin and other musical instruments but does not claim to be proficient in this line. He had planned a musical career but took up a profession instead. His son Lawrence has inherited his musical ability and bids fair to gain prominence in this line. The other children are also musically inclined. Mrs. Evans is a graduate of SpiegelraeyeraConservatory of Music at Chicago, her musical education being obtained after the birth of her children. She is a lyric soprano, has done solo work in churches and societies, and has done some teaching along vocal lines. She is now studying pharmacy. Dr. Evans is in every sense of the word a self-made man and a citizen of whom New Florence has every right to he proud. He figures that after his children are educated and provided for he will complete his own education and career. He has already taken a course in shorthand and typing in the Southwest Business College at Springfield and spent one year in the manual school of that city.

Hi Renee, I was at the National Archives in Seattle, WA and there was so much information on my family tree I wasn't sure which way to go. I didn't have a lot of time and always meant to go back but I haven't. My granddaughter lives in Seattle so I should go. I remember that I tried to find info on my brick walls and didn't find anything. I am pretty sure that people donate their family trees to the Archives so you might try and find all the Richard/Samuel Evans in donated trees. Also, any books that are rare that have Evans info. I don't know if this is any help or not. Judy PS I have been so sick. I was in bed for almost a month. I am not sure exactly what is was. Not the flu. I had a sinus infection and possibly I was experiencing a bad allergy reaction. Four visits to doctor and finally, they gave me a very strong anti-biotic. It worked!
