Sorry, I goofed! The URL should read : http://www.vaxxine.com/genrace/surname.htm The only excuse I have is I have just had a fourth surgery (all within 8 months) on my knee and I am presently strapped to a CPM machine, flat on my back and trying to type this with the keyboard balancing on my chest. Try it sometime, it's not easy. ;-) Jayne : I thought these names 'rang a bell'. Check out my "Ontario Surname Queries : Page" under B & L and contact the people who listed these names.

Hi! We, too, have a new kitten (Cougar) in our home! He sure likes to chew on us. He's driving us crazy but is so cute you just hafta love him! I'm giving him canned food, but sometimes mix it with dry. He has a scratching post but prefers my new couch. He was pretty much already trained to a kitty litter box, I guess, because he's always gone there. I bought the more expensive litter at the advice of someone in the pet dept. I can still smell it or at least the food smell. I'm not sure what to do about that. I don't like it but he's too little to become an outside cat yet. He was born on Father's Day so he's a little older than yours. He can be a pain but we love him! It's kinda like having a baby again! Kimberly

In a message dated 97-09-03 21:14:57 EDT, you write: << G Where to search for live people. Dear Dianne, I have been trying to find a cousin for quite awhile. He lived in Monteral, Canada most of his life. I have some pictures of his mother to pass on to him. She died when he was very small, and he didn't have any of him and her together. I would really like to get them to him. I hope you can help me find him. I have no idea where to start. I have talked to Monteral chat line but that didn't get me anywhere. Thanks, Jeanie

The main purpose of this mailing list is to help one another find their ancestors. It is not a list for social engagement(although we will be getting to know each other). I suggest exchanging wanted surnames, letting me know what kind of things you are looking for. There are a lot of resources on the net and aol- Some of the basic things available are: How to use a FHC Getting Organized Beginning Genealogy lessons. These are all on aol and I will send them to whoever want them. I just want to help others find their ancestors. There are a few don'ts involved-- 1. No sending flame letters ( that is a letter that is hurtful or hateful. If you receive a letter like that forward it on to me to handle it. We are all sisters and brothers and should love one another and help one another. If you disagree with a statement made by someone, please be courteous in responding. 2. No talk about potty training or other subjects on children. There are a lot of other places to talk of these subjects. ****************************************************************************** ******************** QUESTIONNAIRE FOR THE GEN-ROOTERS If you do not wish to share your info with all the others, send me an email at [email protected] 1.

Dear Neycole, With your sign off, "Lots of Aloha", it made me realize that you are "Cole" that use to make me laugh in the Mormon chat room, am I right? (I am VegasLDS in the chat room). I am so very, very sorry to hear about the hurt you are suffering and things you have had to endure. What happened to you and what you are going through right now reminds me of a true story I heard in R.S. one day many months ago, that I have told to several people and have also had to remind myself of at times. I too have had my feelings hurt by someone very active in church that should have known better, not once but on several occasions and like you, I too didn't got to church, at least for awhile. But then I finally realized that the only one I was hurting by not attending my meetings was ME, but please read on for the true story: One day, a man and his very large family walked to church. One of his little daughters was sick with something contagious, (measles or chicken pox I think). Anyways, when the sacrament was being passed around, and the bishop saw the sick little girl partake of the sacrament, he stood up and announced for the sacrament to be brought back in because it was now contaminated! He wanted fresh bread to be put in it's place!! The man with the sick child stood up and took his family and walked out of the church. Needless to say he was extremely humiliated and VERY angry!!! He told his family they were to walk home in silence and nobody was to speak until he had decided what they were going to do. When they got home, he told the family to all kneel in a circle in the living room and not speak. (This was how they always had family prayer). After awhile, tears started streaming down his face and he started to speak. He said that they belonged to the LORDS church. This was NOT that bishops church and the bishop, being human was at fault but that wouldn't keep them away from the Lords church. He said the next week they were to go back to church and hold their heads up high and hear the messages the Lord has for them to learn and not let any human making a bad choice keep them away. This man had a very large family, and they in turn all had very large families. Because of this one fathers choice to stay active in the Lords church, literally HUNDREDS of his descendants are now active. True story!!!!! Cole, I had a bishop tell us just a few years ago that in these latter days, Satan will be working extra hard to try to turn the hearts of all of us away from the Lord. He will EVEN turn the hearts of some of the apostles. Never the prophet though, and the MAJORITY of the apostles will stay true to the Lord. We must always follow the prophet and the majority of the apostles. There will be many in authority who will be making bad choices and saying and doing things they shouldn't, but we must endure to the end. Only YOU are responsible for your own salvation. Please, please get down on your knees and pray to the Lord for the strength that you need to ignore the rumors and return to His church. The Lord loves you very much, and so do I. Love, Donna P.S. Now that I have your new e-mail address, would you like me to put you back on my joke list?

it is all part of the gospel I don't understand the problem. We should all have the same goals. Lois

I am a decendant of Joseph Hopper. Joseph was born around 1802 somewhere in North Carolina but eventually he married Sarah? born around 1822. And they settled in Hardin County, Tenn. and Census records in 1850 and 1860 list a number of children. !850 listed children as David, Nancy, Christopher (my great great grandpa) , William, Winfield,Zachariah, Elizabeth, and Monroe Blanton. 1860 Census list William, Zahariah, Winfield, Melinda, Amanda, Emaline, and Millard F. I also found possible cousins, aunts and uncles. Some of the names were Tillman Hopper, an illegible named Hopper married to a woman named Tennessee Hopper. My great grandpa (christophers son) was Joseph Henry Hopper, his son my grandpa was Jodis Chessie Hopper, My dad is Jodis Chessie Hopper Jr. Any help would be appreciated. thanks Vicki Hopper Redding [email protected]

I can't imagine how you must be hurting right now, but my mind and my heart think that it must be awful! But please, stop and think about something for a minute. It was not the church that did this to you, it was a human being, an inconsiderate and thoughtless person. Heavenly Father knows and feels your pain and he will forgive that person even if you don't. So please, don't deny yourself and your children the great love and spiritual goodness that comes from being a member of HIS church. Forgive... and give it up to our HF and see what peace will follow. My prayers and love to you, Gwen

What is the deal with the mailing list? Someone explain to me about this genealogy thing.

Hi.....I've done lots of mini classes and lots of stamping!!!! The best part about stamping is you can use plain ole brown paper for a base or you can stamp on fabric. Depending on the type of ink sometimes the fabric can be reused. Stamp on card stock then stamp the same on your wrapping paper. Put a small piece of foam on the back of the cardstock cutout. Glue to the stamped image on the brown paper for a dimensional look. The most important tool in stamping is imagination !!! Don't forget to dress them up with glitter, bows or anything else that strikes your fancy...... You can stampover a stamp or only use part of the stamp by using markers and leaving portions of the stamp blank or by stamping over a piece of paper cut as a protector to your primary stamped image.... Wish I was there to help you out this sounds like funnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Georgia Mom
