>From Carolyn: I received this from another list. Cornell University has put the ENTIRE "War of the Rebellion" on the internet!!! Over 60 volumes!!! It includes scanned images of reports, correspondence, seizures of Southern property, etc. sent to the War Dept. during the Civil War. It includes both Union and Confederate accounts. It is in chronological order but there is no online index. Many libraries have the index. Find the volume and page number for your subject in the index at the library. Go to this website http://moa.cit.cornell.edu/MOA/MOA-JOURNALS2/WARO.html and you're in business. >From Betty Mae: They have scanned all those big red books...no index as yet....but go look at the work they are doing....Betty The War of the Rebellion is a compilation of the official records of the Union and Confederate armies published under the direction of the Secretary of War, The Honorary Elihu Root, Brig.

Sandy I'm sorry someone sent it to me and it worked fine but I agree it doesn't work now. On researching I found it is a pay genealogy site that offers one database per month free and the offer changed October 1. The database this month is Vietnam medal of honor winners. There are other war of 1812 sites. Let me hunt around and I'll post one. Donna
I went to this search engine and it told me that it could not be found. What am I doing wrong? Sandy

Much has been said about the wives of Daniel Garrett in the recent past,- Milly, Milly "Charity", etc., and more recently, Charity has been identified as Charity Ellison, with no connection to Milly. For those who may be interested,- this from NARA records: Taken from the 1850 census for Forsyth Co., 31st District, page 166. Dwelling & Family 305/305 Moses Ellison 45 M Farmer $100 b SC Nancy " 45 F b SC William " 25 M Farmer b GA Robert " 31 M Farmer " Mary A. " 22 F " Charity " 21 F " Esther " 18 F " None could read nor write, except possibly Esther who was in school. Moses nor Charity show up in the 1860 census for GA. Cheers!! Dan
for your reading pleasure .. sharon A TEXAN'S GUIDE TO LIFE Don't squat with your spurs on. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back in. If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there. If you get to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him...........The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day. There's two theories to arguin' with a woman. Neither one works. If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'. Never slap a man who's chewin' tobacco. It don't take a genius to spot a goat in a flock of sheep. Always drink upstream from the herd. When you give a lesson in meanness to a critter or a person, don't be surprised if they learn their lesson. When you're throwin' your weight around, be ready to have it thrown around by somebody else. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it back in your pocket. - -------------------------------------------------------------- Newspaper Headlines - Something Went Wrong in Jet Crash, Expert Says - Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers - Drunk Gets Nine Months in Violin Case - Iraqi Head Seeks Arms - Panda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over - Include Your Children when Baking Cookies - Clinton Wins on Budget, But More Lies Ahead - Plane Too Close to Ground, Crash Probe Told - Miners Refuse to Work after Death - Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant - Stolen Painting Found by Tree - Two Sisters Reunited After 18 Years at Checkout Counter - War Dims Hope for Peace - If Strike Isn't Settled Quickly, It May Last a While - Cold Wave Linked to Temperatures - Enfields Couple Slain; Police Suspect Homicide - Red Tape Holds Up New Bridges - Typhoon Rips Through Cemetery; Hundreds Dead - Kids Make Nutritious Snacks - Hospitals are Sued by 7 Foot Doctors - New Vaccine May Contain Rabies - Man Struck By Lightning Faces Battery Charge
