Hi, I'm looking for information on a Bert T. Gardner that was born about 1885 in Bangor, Maine. I know he married Marina LaComb and she was born about 1898 in Hayward, Wiscousin. I know they had at least four children together. There could be a lot more. Three of their children were born in Hibbing, Minnesota. Robert Lee Gardner was born 3-6-1921, Baby Gardner was born 6-21-1923 (no name on the birth record for the city records) and Margeret Ann Gardner was born 7-12-1924. Bert was a steam shovel engineer in 1921. Between the years 1923-1924 Bert was a house mover. Bert helped moved the town of Hibbing when it moved for the new mine. I don't know what happen to him or the rest of the family after that. I do know Robert Lee Gardner was adopted or at least taken in by Edward Beldo around 1930. Robert was what was called back then a street kid. In help with any of these names would be great. Kimberly Sandquist [email protected]

Marilyn, I too, am trying to find links to the Gardner name in the Maine area. My gr/gr grandfather was Levi Gardner m. Naomi Viles. Basically that is the only clue I have...EXCEPT, their son Eugene F. Gardner was born in Maine 1845. Eugene was in the Civil War Co. D, Wisconsin Inf. And I've recently discovered a Levi Gardner connected to the New Hampshire Inf. Co. H........now, whether or not this is the same Levi, well, I just don't know. Eugene spent his growing up years in Delavan, Wisconsin........then moved west, eventually ending up in Prosser, Benton Co., Washington. Eugene and his wife Lucy Jane Wheeler had 7 children, 4 of them died of smallpox. Remaining children were Charles Gardner (died in his early 20's), Mary m. John Fred Borst and lived in the Portland Or/Vancouver Wash. area and my grandfather Jay Wheeler Gardner m. Anna Barbara Rettig and lived in Prosser, Washington. This is all I know about this side of my family. Thanking you, for at least reading this, I know how hard it is to sort through all this stuff. Karen [email protected]

Hi, I am looking for any others researching the lines of family of Jethro Gardner and his wife, Love Gardner (second cousins) who moved from Nantucket to Maine around 1770 and eventually settled in Vassalboro. They were Quakers. Thanks for any contacts. Regards, Marilyn in NH ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

I am looking for any information that might give me some knowledge about my father's family. His name is Marden Orth Gardner, Jr; his father was Marden Orth Gardner, Sr. (married Eva Cash); and his grandfather was the mayor of Waynesboro, Virginia (possibly William). There was also a Gardner Mansion in Waynesboro, Virginia that I understand has since been demolished and replaced with a bank. Any information would be of great benefit to my family.

Murden is one of my family names and your father's unusual first name, Marden, may be a modification of that name. There are two large Murden families in the US. My branch came to Indiana and spread out from there, but another, much larger family, came to the area around Virginia Beach in the 1600s or early 1700s, with most people with this surname found in Virginia. They apparently had slaves, as there is a black family in the area with this surname also.

^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.- On a train from London to Manchester, an American was berating the Englishman sitting across from him in the compartment. "You English are too stuffy. You set yourselves apart too much. You think your stiff upper lips make your above the rest of us. Look at me... I'm me, I have Italian blood, French blood, a little Indian blood, and some Swedish blood. What do you say to that?" The Englishman replied, "Very sporting of your mother." ^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-^-.,.-

Gardner) To:    [email protected] (Milli Gould) I did not send Email with an attachment to the mailing list. I had a virus  (unknown to me) that was sending itself as an attachment to any one I Emailed.The virus seems to be gone, but some of the effects are still present in my system and also while deleting some history files I accidentally deleted the permanent history. So now I am having a lot of problems with the computer and may have to completely reformat. There for, I may be out of Internet circulation for a while. Oh Well I have tons of spring work to get done and have been working a lot of overtime on my job which leaves me with little time at home anyway.   I'll be in touch again soon.(in the mean time be very careful of attachments, and don't open ANY from me because I don't send any unless by previous arrangement.)   Ross

I did finally get through to Ellis Island but it dumped me before providing any information! Arrgh Shirley

Hi All, I found Alexander Gardner age 33, miner and Isabella Gardner (nee Aitken)age 23, wife, left Cambusulang Scotland, arrived at Ellis Island on the Lusitania on Dec 23, 1910. Nearest relative was mother. Mrs F. Gardner Douglas Place, Flemington Scotland. Destination was to John Gardner, brother, in Yale, Kansas. -- KATE Indiana, USA Surname Aitken in Ayrshire: http://www.ayrshireroots.com/Genealogy/Surnames/Aitken/Aitken.htm

The Ellis Island site has been super busy, but I got through, entered the names of 3 people I knew arrived between 1892 and 1924-- and drew a blank. Most of my Gardners arrived years before 1892, some even before 1792.

I have been totally unable to access this site even though I have tried from early morn til late eve. Guess their site is completely overwhelmed. Has anyone elsee gotten through and found any Gardners?

>From The New York Times:               April 21, 2001               Ellis I. Web Site Is Deluged by Family Historians               By JAYSON BLAIR Officials struggled yesterday to increase the capacity of an online database that tracks immigrants who were brought into theUnited States through Ellis Island after the Web site was deluged with visitors. Officials at the Statue of Liberty- Ellis Island Foundation, which runs the American Family Immigration History Center's Web site, said they have more than quadrupled the amount of computer memory in the servers that run the searchable database, which went into service Tuesday. Still, they estimate that more than one out of every seven users who has tried to visit the Web site has failed. Foundation officials said yesterday that they were working with one of their sponsors, Compaq Computer, to increase their server capacity The database, extracted from microfilms of the original paper manifests, covers arrivals at Ellis Island from 1892 through 1924, when as many as 5,000 people a day arrived for processing. The Web site, www.ellisislandrecords.org, is proving to be so popular that officials at the center have been unable to accurately count the number of hits per second since Tuesday. "We thought we were prepared," said Peg Zitko, a spokeswoman for the foundation. "But we have found that the word got out pretty fast and that we have a   pretty popular site."   The database, which includes records of more than 17 million immigrants who came   through Ellis Island, is already powered by 13 servers based in a data center   created to handle large volumes of traffic and memory-consuming searches.  Ms. Zitko said Compaq officials were considering adding 5 to 10 new servers, depending on whether the site continues to receive so many hits.  By late Tuesday, more than eight million people had completed searches of the  database, she said.

Hello. I am searching for any Gardners from Missouri 1850/1860 or? I am searching for any of the children of John Gardner and wife, Jane Farr. They were married in Blount Co (now Monroe Co ) TN in 1819, where A and had these children there (?) Solomon, John Franklin, JACOB, and probably,Ann, Margaret, and Charlott. Some of these children along with the mother, Jane went to Missouri. Solomon and John Franklin may have married in Monroe Co. Tn and had small children, when they moved on to Missouri. John Gardner, the father is lost at this point and I don't seem to find him. Let me know if this interests you. ctodd [email protected]
