I don't really know the answer to your question, but I would think that the term "frozen" was not meant literally. Some years ago I had a cat die of calcified lungs, (the lungs had gone solid) I guess you could say it's lungs were "frozen" -- Regards - Terry Hollis Auckland, New Zealand <mark@kinweb.org> wrote in message news:1010283044.867698@news.islandnet.com... > My great grandfather died in 1924 of "frozen lungs".

Lesley, Many thanks. These groups came highly recommended in "Genealogy for Dummies". Mayhap I should let the authors know it is out of date!! (they probably know) AlanC acombellack@sympatico.ca

In winter they had to always breathe through a couple layers of scarf or "you'll freeze your lungs." Even if all you were doing was opening the door to take in the mail, you had to cover all exposed skin and your mouth and nose. Presumably, the cold was so frigid that it would literally paralyze the breathing muscles temporarily. At that point, one would pass out and by reflex, breathe in another lungful ... Today's Dx would probably be "pulmonary arrest", which isn't nearly as descriptive. Cheryl

>Is anyone working on the Nixon name at >all? NIXON is not as uncommon as you may think. There are 67 NIXONs listed as arriving 1683-1880 in the first volume of FILBY's "Immigration Lists Index" and additional NIXONs in the supplemental volumes. There are several NIXONs listed in the 1790 census of PA and a few in 1790 VA census. What you need to do instead of trying to tie into Richard NIXON is to start with your parents and work back a generation at a time. Use censuses, early marriage and probate records to establish families. You may also be able to find some local histories along the way that could be helpful.

(g) Still, ALL the inhabitants? The only 1624 list I'm aware of is the muster, and it didn't list "all the inhabitants"-- it listed those Free, English, males of a certain age group, and counted heads otherwise. I'd dearly love to see a complete list, because there are families I know were there who had no men in the age-group and so weren't counted. (see para 1, for instance.) Cheryl

I attempted to post this on soc.genealogy.surnames.britain yesterday. I don't know if it appeared as I still can't read it. Can anyone advise me what I should do please? I am using newsgroup server, news1.on.sympatico.ca. "My Outlook Express sees this group but tells me, wrongly I am sure, that there are no messages in it. I can get into "britain" and "misc" groups. Please, someone, tell me what I should do to gain access. Obviously email would be the best way to pass me this information." AlanC acombellack@sympatico.ca -- AlanC acombellack@sympatico.ca

Usually census takers would do all the households in neighborhood, or near each other before moving onto the next area. I've had some luck getting the names of the neighbors from the census and then going into land records and seeing if I can identify where in the county some or all of the people owned property. Another source to look in would be city directories for the area if there are any. That could give you an address that you could compare with a map and then look for nearby churches.

Hello fellow listers. I found my ancestor, Jacob Berst and his daughter Catherine living in the City of Newport (Campbell County) in the 1850 census for KY. I need to know if there is any way to figure out where they lived by this census entry. I have been several reels of film searching for a death record for Jacob (he died between 1850-60) and it would help to narrow down his church if I knew where he lived. Thank you, Buffy & Trixie

I am looking for the Enumeration District in Philadelphia for Brown & 27th Streets, and so far I have had no luck finding it... how do I find what ward it is in? is there a website which shows the wards or districts? any help would be absolutely appreciated Thanks in advance Michelle

My great grandfather died in 1924 of "frozen lungs". Any thoughts on exactly what that means? I mean, how does one literally freeze their lungs? Surely if he froze to death it'd say that instead. Does the phrase refer to something else perhaps? Some sort of respiratory disease maybe? He died in Wadena, Saskatchewan, and it's certainly cold enough to freeze to death there at the right times of year, yet the phrase sounds strange to me. Mark

If you go to this site, you find an add for a printed list. Search for it on "google.com", and find 619 entries for the same info. Not sure how many give the complete list, but you should be able to find it in one of them. Gary

I did. I didn't subscribe, and never will if this is the only way to do it. I don't authorize anyone to make autormatic or repeating charges to any of my credit cards, and never will. The fact that they require an op-out rather than an approval or opt-in makes them a slimeball company in my opinion.
