I am searching for my husbands family, all the information we have is that his grandfather, Hector Forbes owned the Karrara Hotel near Bundaberg, which may have been owned by his father before him. Hector's wife was killed in a gas explosion/fire in the kitchen of the old hotel. Any information on the family would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Rae

Greetings from your list admin: Tomorrow, Monday November 11, 2002 is Veterans Day in the Unites States of America. It used to be called Armistice Day to celebrate the end of the Great War, now known as World War One. Veterans Day is specifically for living military veterans, not a general day for honoring anybody and everybody. Please keep in mind that for many of us, a few pieces of colored ribbon -- and this day -- are all we get to call our own. I would like to invite all subscribers to contribute "something" to the list about a member of the family who served his or her country in the military. If you have family members who would go unmentioned otherwise, please feel free to bend the "on topic" rules and go ahead. And SEND THAT FAMILY MEMBER A COPY. Also feel free to mention those whose service was to a country other than the USA. Honor knows no political boundaries.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/EEX.2ACIB/814 Message Board Post: I am searching for the ancestry of James FORBES. James was born in Kentucky in abt 1814. Sometime before 1844 he moved to Ohio - perhaps in the area around Belmont County. There he married ______ and they had 4 children: Silence Forbes, James Forbes Jr., Andrew Forbes, and George W.

James and Elizabeth had 5 children: Thomas Jefferson Forbes, Marion Francis Forbes, Alexander Forbes, John H. Forbes, and Joseph N. Forbes. James Forbes died on May 28, 1868 in DeWitt county.

The photo was taken around the turn of the century. She is a cousin. My family moved to Kansas in 1860 but kept up correspondence. I have several letter from Mass.

I'm sorry !! This is all I have on Fannie Forbes b. ? bp. Ireland d. ? . Fannie married a Charles Ewing b. abt. 1831 bp. Ireland. I know Charles Ewing came over in 1865 with a child named John Ewing b. 1855 (my line). I have not found these 2 on a passenager list yet. In 1870 I find Charles Ewing working on a farm in Orange County, NY. I never find Fannie with family. I think she stayed behind in 1865 because someone found a birth of a child on LDS William Ewing b. 1865 in Ireland . My mother said the Collins family (William) in Orange County, NY(Newburgh)are family I have called them and they dont know too much. But, in 1880 Census Wm Collins has a sister in law named Rhoda Ewing bp. Ire. but, in 1900 Rhoda is not with them. So, that makes Wm. Collins wife Maggie a Ewing too. But, in 1900 Census in Newburgh it states Maggie came over in 1870. Maybe this is when Fannie came over. What is Fannie Forbes related to you ? Is Forbes her married name or married name ? We were never told John Ewing had siblings but, I think because they died they just didnt talk about them. I did find the death of Charles Ewing d . 1903 Orange County (Salibury Mills) but, no parents were listed and no cemetery listed so I dont know where he is buried yet. And cant find a obit either. I cant think in what I wrote. LOL I'm copying all the Ewing in the area to see what I can find.

Hi All Let me add to the confusion over various Fannie Forbes'. I am looking for two more of them. 1. Frances (Fanny) FORBES, born Aghaward townland, co. Longford, Ireland. Baptised Nov 11, 1832 at St. John's Church of Ireland church, Ballinalee, Clonbroney parish, co. Longford, Ireland. Daughter of Charles Forbes and Jane Heany. No further record of her in Ireland. Probably married/emigrated. 2. Frances (Fanny) FORBES, born Oct 12, 1863 at Aghaward townland, co. Longford, Ireland.
