Hallo zusammen, ich suche den Ort GROOSBEEK. Mein Ururgroßvater Wilhelm Heinrich JASPERS heiratete in erster Ehe eine Petronella PETERS (* ca. 1822, + ca. 1863 Essen?, Eltern: Johann Peters undAgnes Scho(e)makers). Sie kam laut Heiratseintrag aus GROOSBEEK. Doch leider habe ich noch nie etwas von diesen Ort gehört oder gelesen. Selbst Google kennt den Ort nicht. Es gibt nur einen ähnlich klingenden Ortsnamen in der Niederlande - GROESBEEK/Gelderlande bei Nijmegen, also an der Grenze zu Deutschland und nicht weit weg von Kleve, wo mein o.g. Ahne geboren wurde. Kennt jemand vielleicht doch den Ortsnamen GROOSBEEK in Deutschland? Würde mich über eine Antwort sehr freuen. Maike

The Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania will do limited searches of their records for $10. Check out the information here: http://www.libertynet.org/gspa/GSPInquiryProcs2.htm About 5 years ago I sent some money to the Society and in return got copies of a lot of newspaper clippings with people who all had the surname of Kennedy and among them was an obituary for my g.g.grandfather which gave the names of his parents, his deceased wife and where she was born as well as the names of his children. It was very helpful. There was also an obituary for my g.g.grandfather's brother which gave the names of his wife and children. Good luck. bb "WebWerx, Inc." <[email protected]> wrote in message news:[email protected] > I have been trying to do a family tree and not been getting > very far on the internet due to the fact that most of the places > I try to go to you have to pay for and the places that are free > dont have very much good information relative to what I am > looking for.

Good News: NGS GENTECH 2004 is less than a week away. Even Better News: Reduced Hotel Rate We have just noticed a printing error in the GENTECH program. Fortunately, this error translates into lower costs for your GENTECH Conference stay. On page 2 of the Conference Registration Brochure, the daily rate for the Millennium Hotel is incorrectly stated as $132/night. The actual rate for GENTECH conference attendees is actually only $99/night. We apologize for this error -- but you can keep the extra $33. (Spend it in the Exhibit Hall!) So, don't miss out on this opportunity. Register now while there is still space in the Hotel. Here are the Particulars about the Conference: NGS GENTECH 2004 will be in held in St. Louis on January 22-24. Since 1993, GENTECH has been THE national conference for people interested in GENealogy and TECHnology. Now, as a new division of the National Genealogical Society, NGS GENTECH will sponsor conferences that continue to meet the needs of advanced users and those new to using technology in research. Each year the conference has featured a panel of nationally known speakers who have addressed themselves to every aspect of the use of computer and Internet technology to support genealogical research - to meet the needs of advanced users as well as those just beginning to use technology in their research. This year there will be a Librarians' Pre-Conference at NGS GENTECH on Thursday, January 22, 2004 which will feature talks by Cyndi Howells, Ruth Ann Hager and Matt Helm. Details of this special Pre-Conference are at: www.slcl.lib.mo.us/slcl/sc/gentech04/precon-schedule.htm. In addition to the Librarian's Pre-Conference, Thursday will feature two-hour tutorials on four important topics: * Building a Family Genealogy Web site * Mapping Workshop * Federal Web Sites * Digital Photography. See the full NGS GENTECH 2004 program at: www.eshow2000.com/ngsgentech/register_now.cfm or at the St. Louis Genealogical Society website: www.stlgs.org/gentech2004. If you have not attended a GENTECH conference, please consider making this your first. Our professional development depends upon finding and using the right tools to accomplish your clients' goals, and the sessions at this conference can help. Remember, you can register on line at: www.eshow2000.com/ngsgentech/register_now.cfm We look forward to seeing you in St. Louis in just a few weeks!

Smallridge+genealogy gets about 283, some no doubt yours. Hayes+genealogy gets 64,700, but you could do a search adding other criteria, that might get fewer and more relevant sites. A search at MESA at http://mesa.rrzn.uni-hannover.de/(Internet email address search service, using 5 popular email searches) will get you 24 hits. This would be a quick way of checking on possible other Stooke genealogy researchers. Smallridge gets 22 hits. Good luck. Joe in Texas

Can anyone tell me if there was and still is a Catholic Church located in the area of Morris Avenue and 153rd Street? My Irish Catholic family (Finnegan) lived on Morris Avenue in the 1860s-80s. I am hoping to find baptismal and marriage records. Thanks, Rob
