Sorry Lib, all my Farr's are Northern States Farrs. There is a major line of VA and Southern States' Farrs that has had a lot of research. Eugene Farr in MO has written a book and we were in touch until recently but his email no longer works. Find someone that works those Southern States.

Hi Donald, I'm researching the JONES' from LLanfyllin in MGY, and also the Farr's from OSWESTRY, SHROPSHIRE. Any tie ins? Helen.

Is there anyone out there researching JONES from Wales - particularly Montgomeryshire - or are you all researching the US Jones' ? Helen - in Australia

Helen, My father's side (FARR) is the Northern States Farr line extending: Donald Eugene Farr > Kenneth Elroy Farr > Charles William Farr > Willis E. Farr > Harry Farr > Randall Farr > Stephen Farr > Stephen Farr > Stephen Farr > Stephen Farr > Thomas Farr > Robert b 19 Apr 1595 in Epworth, Lincolnshire, England > Thomas Farre b Bet 1549-1552 in England. In addition I have hundreds of Farrs as branches on the tree. I am in contact with many Farrs currently. The Jones are connected to my mother's side (BAILEY) My GG Grandmother Elizabeth Jones b 3 Feb 1833 in Alleghany Co., PA m James Jackson Bailey b 18 May 1827 in Wethersfield, Trumball, OH. They settled in Chadwick, Carroll, IL Elizabeth Jones > Israel Jones b 1 Jun 1807 Blaenevon, Monmouthshire Co., S. Wales d Coalport, Coshocton, OH (Both the Farrs and Baileys came through Coshocton migrating to IL & IA) > John Jones b 16 Sep 1763 in Grossmont, Monmouthshire, WALES d Huntington Co., PA Probably no connection with yours - - - there are a bazillion Jones and Farrs ;-))) Will chat anytime.

I recently found out that my Great Grandfather John James Greenlee was adopted in Hollywood Alabama and that his mothers last name could have been Farr. Alot of the info is vague but at some point I believe his family might have been from Pensylvania and he had a twin brother. His family was poor and his mother was single. They lived on a farm in Hollywood Alabama and I believe was adopted by that family (Greenlee) Any info would be appreciated. Thank you. James Greenlee (Farr?)

This is being sent out to all of my lists to let you know about a problem RootsWeb began experiencing in the last couple of days that is causing some valid subscribers to not receive posts to lists he/she subscribes to. When a post is not delivered to a subscriber, it is "bounced" to the List Admin (that's me) for information. When a certain bounce threshold is reached within a given period of time, that subscriber is dropped from the list as no longer active. Normally this is good, because it purges the lists of people who change ISPs without notifying us, or are otherwise not receiving e-mail. In this case,however, it is due to certain ISPs who have installed spam filters and are listing RootsWeb on their reject list erroneously. In a few cases, some RootsWeb mail is getting through, and some is not, but in all cases when a subscriber reaches a given number of bounces, his subscription is terminated automatically by the servers. If you have a personal spam filter installed like "Spamcop" or others, or if your ISP has one installed to do it for you,then you are a possible candidate to have your RootsWeb mail cut off without notice. For now, please just keep an eye on the volume of mail you get. If you have a sudden drop in mail, try to subscribe to the list once again. If you are still subscribed, you should (hopefully) receive a notice to that effect. If you are not on the list any longer, your subscription attempt will be accepted and you will be put back on the list. You may also write to me privately if you would like me to check it for you, but please understand that with having 10 lists that I manage I cannot possibly do everyone manually so I would ask that you try it yourself first. I thank you in advance for your cooperation in this regard. I do not even know if this message will get to everyone, but hopefully it will. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me off the list. RootsWeb is working to resolve this problem with the people who control the spam filters, and hopefully it will be resolved before too many more people are dropped from the lists.
