Bea: What happened to the genealogy board? Everyone is gone where did they go? I hope you will answer me. Wilma.

Katie - My Fisher line has links in Indiana and Illinois (also Iowa, New Mexico, California, Washington.... ), but I don't recognize any of your names. Could be related - there could very easily be a branch of the tree that I don't have in my database. If you come up with any other names let me know and I'll check again. Or, if you like, I can send you a copy of my file in gedcom format so you can look through it and maybe find a connection somewhere.

Hi Fisher Family. There has been a lot of interest in Pennsylvania Fishers recently. I had to collect this information anyhow and thought I would just copy it to EMail to share.

Main St.) in Bishop at 11 a.m. Pastor Dan Willson will officiate. Additionally, following the service, family and friends are invited to the home of his granddaughter, Margie Hooker. Mr. Fisher died on Jan. 4, 2003 at the Bishop Care Center. Allyn will be remembered for his compassion of life and love of the Sierra region. His source of strength were his religious beliefs and sense of humor. He enjoyed fishing, oil painting, music, and being with his family. He retired with his wife to Bishop 20 years ago to be near one of his daughters. Allyn is survived by daughters, Patricia Coleman of Bishop and Linda Arnold of Chino Hills; son-in-law, Walter Coleman; five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Obviously a reply thread CAN get out of hand. If there is a message that sparks a lot of interest and there is a flurry of responses and responses to responses you can end up with quite a long message. HOWEVER, please bear in mind that these are, for the most part, text messages we are dealing with here. The filesize of these messages, even with a bunch of threading, is still small. They don't take a long time to download, they don't eat up a lot of bandwidth (which few if any of us are probably paying additional charges for, anyway). The worst that can be said about them is that they can be a pain to pick through and scroll through because of the number of lines involved. My suggestion is that we try to keep down the number of quoted lines in our replies, when and if possible. We should make polite suggestions to those who are new and explain to them how to delete the unnecessary parts of quoted messages and, last but not least, if we are annoyed by a message because it contains too much of thread, we simply delete the message from our own computers and forget about it. Personally, I have gained a LOT from this email list. Remember that some of the people here may have just joined the list and haven't been able to follow the earlier messages and, just maybe, one of those quoted threads will help them out with their research.

Hi there, From the looks of your Fishers..... and the way they were named ----I would say there is a good possiblity they come from mine ---Can you tell me from what part of Tennessee they are coming from? My guess is from West Tennessee most probably from Ben Franklin Fisher...... Ben's Brother was named Edward. ---Edward is my line. ------------------------------------------------------- They were the sones of Bolin Stark Fisher who was either the son or the grandson of Daniel Fisher (we think Son)---- he came from England...... with a wife and son but married again in Virginia.... We know that there is no question of this line as John Fisher was the executor of the Daniel Fisher will and Bolin received the inherinance when John died. This is all found in Murfreesburo TN. We know that Daniel did have a son named Bolin... the problem is we also know that there was a grandson named Bolin S. Fisher as well....but it is also possible John named his first son Bolin Stark Fisher. >> -------------------------------------------- Since I am in a talkitve mood I will share some other things. There is a reason for the Name Bolin Stark as Daniel Fishers 2nd marriage was to the niece of Bolin Stark a well known politician of the times. He was persoanal friend of Daniel Fisher and is named as co-exectutor of the Bolin's Will. ------------------------------------------ The reason about the Ben Franklin name is that Daniel Fisher served as a law clerk for 4 months under Ben Franklin then moved to Va. As far as I know Daniel never named any of his own Childern Ben, unless they died young. --------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------There was a nice lady on this list at one time that comes from Daniel Fisher NO. 2. who was a son of the orginal Daniel.... He settled up through Kentucky.... This is an English line of Fishers. Betty Owen --------------------------------------------

I hate to get into this cutting and deleting. I was told long ago by a business that if I wanted to get information regarding a message to include it with the reply. That is the only way that they know that they are answering the proper email. Now there are lots of people on here who are new (as I was when I was informed about the reply) and they are just replying to the message. They do this because they were told to reply to Fisher to have their messages go out to the rest of the Fisher geneology people. They are just trying to find their heirs and in doing so at times, they give information that was not previously known regarding a Fisher or other line. It is a small matter for you when you reply to one of the long emails to just delete it if you know how. You don't have to read it, since you have already seen what was posted previously, but it is very small to try to require all to know what you know and berate them for doing something they know no differently. Thank all of you for your help and God bless you. Charlie The problem we have is when a large number of people become involved in a topic, and each one is simply hitting the reply button and typing in their own message. *What is the big deal?* _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM: Try the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
