Ok...George list, now that everyone is awake.... I'm still searching for my ancestors. Henry George born in 1821 in North Carolina. Don't know Henry's parents or siblings. He married Martha ? and had the following children Lillie Ann b. Dec. 16, 1862, Nancy b. Apr 5, 1864, Mary Elizabeth b. Apr 14, 1866, William b. March 10, 1868, Thomas Franklin b. March 10, 1871, Emerson Beck b. May 22, 1873, and Henry Hill b. April 12, 1875. My g grandfather was Thomas Franklin George. He married Martha Mary Buchanan and had the following children Mary Elizabeth (Bettie) b. November 18, 1892, Henry Franklin (Frank) b. August 26, 1894, William Wesley b. August 19, 1896, Modest Angeline (Maude) b. August 4, 1898, James Chester b . January 23, 1901, Mennie Pearl b. September 5, 1903, Raymond L. b. November 7, 1905, Odie Valentine b. February 14, 1910, and Lexie Phillip b, December 30, 1911. My grandfather was James Chester and he married Effie Stacks and had James Cecil and William Thomas. Any of these folks look familiar. Thanks, Tricia P.S. Dave.....mistakes happen.

Well, I am glad this wasn't me. I guess I didn't even get the jokes. I have been having a fun week with a husband with emergency surgery as my house is under renovation and my husband the contractor, so the jokes might have made my day. I too had forgot about being on the George list...and apologizing because thought I had forwarded something to y'all that someone sent me. I usually delete the stuff, but maybe I could hit the wrong key...and I thought you all thought I had done this...so far as to go into my sent box (and found I wasn't guilty). Okay, lets lighten up. One list I was on went through a lot of name calling, etc. Let's recognize this for what it was, a honest mistake. I think we need to plant a spring garden, add lettuce--lettuce be kind... -----Original Message----- From: LysseGott@aol.com <LysseGott@aol.com> To: GEORGE-L@rootsweb.com <GEORGE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Tuesday, April 13, 1999 6:04 PM Subject: [GEORGE-L] it's ok.. ;} >Dave, >Everyone on that GEORGE list should realize that accidents happen in this >ELECTRONIC AGE...

Dave: Some lists get more wound up than others........ Great jokes, most activity I've ever seen on GEORGE-L. Now I hope everybody that is paying attention posts their GEORGE's!! MY GEORGE: Elizabeth GEORGE b. Ohio, 2 May 1799, married James ARMSTRONG March 28, 1820, Columbiana County, Ohio. They moved north to Crawford Co, Ohio, before settling in Kalamazoo Co, Michigan in 1829. [Elizabeth's parents & birthplace is unknown to me.... so far!!] For more info see my Armstrong Family site: http://www.nd.edu/~dpaul/armstron.htm Dorothy At 01:21 PM 4/13/1999 -0700, you wrote: >Please accept my sincere apology for the inappropriate jokes which were >sent to the list.

Please accept my sincere apology for the inappropriate jokes which were sent to the list. A mistake was made and we are sorry. I never intended for this type of information to be sent to a distributed list such as the George web list. Again I am sorry. Dave

Dave, Everyone on that GEORGE list should realize that accidents happen in this ELECTRONIC AGE... They saw it was going to be jokes.. they could have deleted BEFORE reading them all if they had chosen. Don't worry about it.. it's happened on lots of lists I've been on. And someone was right!! This is the most activity I've seen on the GEORGE list in ages... I had forgotten I was even on the list. SMILE....

Concerning Volume 99: Issue 38 # 1 This IS a genealogy site isn't it. I for one, would rather not be confronted with offensive jokes. How about the rest of you?

To simply@wolfenet' Forgive me if I am wrong, but is this really the place to post your off colored, sexest, racest, filthy, nasty, untasteful jokes? I thought you were supposed to put postings regarding genealogy here. Surely you just accidentally sent the jokes to your complete address book and forgot to remove this listing?? While I did enjoy some of these jokes, some members of my family who also read this genealogy treasure trove are not really old enough for me to appreciate them being subjected to the jokes. To web master: Please do not remove the above person for this. They may have something important to contribute in the future that we can all benefit from. Thank you for your understanding, Wayne

I'm sorry but I don't appreciate dirty jokes. Take your filth elsewhere Cindy

Hi cousins, and other George researchers, I have added several more pages to my George web pages. I now have the following pages containing all (or most) of the documentation available about the families in question: Col. John George (c1603-1679) and Jane Cole and Ann --- http://www.martygrant.com/gen/george/john-george.htm Isaac George (1635) and Hester Fawdon http://www.martygrant.com/gen/george/isaac-george.htm Robert George (1666) and Sarah --- Elliott http://www.martygrant.com/gen/george/robert-george.htm Robert George (c1697 s/o Robert & Sarah) and Ann Allen Nash http://www.martygrant.com/gen/george/robert-george-caroline.htm John George (1704 s/o Robert & Sarah) and Mary Jordan and Ursula Dudley http://www.martygrant.com/gen/george/john-george-caroline.htm John George (c1674/78) of Isle of Wight Co, VA grandson of Col. John George http://www.martygrant.com/gen/george/john-george-iow.htm I'm going to add more pages as time permits, such as for Richard George and Elizabeth Mayo and other branches of the Col. John George family. I also have these other George families (possibly related to Col. John George) Nicholas George and Margaret of Lancaster Co, VA http://www.martygrant.com/gen/george/nicholas-george.htm David George (d 1679) and Mary of Middlesex Co, VA http://www.martygrant.com/gen/george/david-george-middlesex.htm Any comments, corrections, additions would be appreciated. I'm planning to eventually have pages for all the documented George families in VA (prior to 1800 anyway), but that'll take a long time to do. I'm doing the same thing for various other surnames that I'm researcher, so my time is divided between them all. Later! Marty Grant - (Marvin A.

This Should Answer Question About LDS SEARCH Hello Fellow Researchers, I have been bombarded with questions on the Family Search Website and would like to pass on to you the information I received when I spoke to an "Official" Church spokesperson at Family Search. He advised me of the following: The OFFICIAL LDS Church website is LDS.ORG Go to media resources and find News update. The church is posting updates as they come in as to the state of the family search. Within 3 or 4 minutes of the NEWS UPDATE ANNOUNCING the FAMILY SEARCH is online. They will post it THERE! SO Keep checking. Should be a couple of days. It will be a MASSIVE SITE. They are prepared to test this site using anyone who wishes to go to it and use it. THERE WILL BE NO PASSWORD TO ACCESS IT. The rumor about the password was incorrect. When the site was put up it was restricted to a few....about 100 people who designed it and are putting the finishing touches on it, someone there LEAKED, YES LEAKED, (AN EMPLOYEE) and that is why some of you got in. When the masses bombarded the site it crashed cause it was not finished. They have now given each worker an INDIVIDUAL PASSWORD, SOOOOO IF it gets leaked again they will know who did it. It has been postponed being put online a few days because of the crash. There are now about 12 popular stories going around about Family Search. I ASSURE YOU MINE CAME FROM A CHURCH SPOKESMAN. IF you pass information about the site on to others please just send them this message I have sent you. The whole message. Now please remember this. 1. Go to LDS.org 2. Find Media Resources 3. Check News Updates That will inform you when it is going online. Please notify everyone you know who will be interested. I hope this helps you all. You have my permission to pass this note on to any genealogy Lists you wish. Again, Please pass the whole note not just sections of it or we will have more rumors. ==== SC-OLD-PENDLETON-DIST Mailing List ==== Want to search for a surname in RootsWeb archives http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
