Fellow Genealogists; Not long ago on one of the lists I subscribe to, there was some discussion concerning the distruction of graves and graveyards. The following message was sent to me by a fellow genealogist. I was really upset after reading the article (it is online; use the URL). I am having a hard time believing that people can be so heartless and unfeeling just because of 'progress'. This IS a very disturbing problem that MUST be dealt with. Please take the time to read this article; we must do something to try and change the laws regarding this problem. I certainly don't want my ancestors moved or disposed of in this manner. Please contact your law makers and let them know how you feel. This is indeed a disgrace to humankind. Stop this distruction now. Please read the article at this URL. I think it will certainly open your eyes. And, yes, this is a world wide problem. ********************* The "Death of a Cemetery" story that Jack Eaton referenced in his 8/23/98 message to the INROOTS list this morning (below) is available on-line at: http://www.starnews.com/news/citystate/98/aug/0822SN_rhoads.html Whether you live in Indiana or not, you need to take a minute to read this article -- today! The same thing is happening all over the country -- even the world. It seems nobody cares! It's "legal" and they get away with it all the time. Write to a State Representative or State Senator today. Don't let them believe that, just because it's "legal" that it's morally or ethically "right". Lois ************************* Thanks for listening. I believe that together we can make a difference.

Hello fellow GEORGE researchers!! I have ancestors with the GEORGE surname. I don't know a lot, but have some info. I would like to have more info on Jane's parents and siblings. Jane GEORGE was born at Croft-yr-onnen, Llananno, Radnorshire, Wales. She was my great-great-grandmother. She married William George JONES. I am very interested in knowing more about Jane's siblings and parents. The following is the info I have at present: In the 1861 census it states that living at Craftyronnen were: Mr John George (who was born in Llananno) and his wife Margaret (who was born in Llangurig) and their children: Margaret (aged 20) born in St. Harmon, Radnorshire John (aged 17) born in St. Harmon, Radnorshire Thomas (aged 16) born in St. Harmon, Radnorshire Mary (aged 11) born in Llanddewi Ystradenny, Radnorshire Richard (aged 10) born in Llananno Sarah (aged 9) born in Llananno Elizabeth (aged 8) born in Llananno Jane (aged 4) born in Llananno (b. 27 Nov 1856 at Croft-yr-onnen, Llananno, Radnorshire, Wales d. 10-5-1937 in Kansas) ********************************* I am directly descended from Jane. According to what I have found, Jane grew up on Croft-yr-onnen farm, Llananno, Radnorshire, Wales. On 18 July 1880 at ? (possibly Cwmdu, Breconshire, South Wales) Jane GEORGE married William George JONES b. 18 June 1853(4) at Pen-r-heol, Cwmdu, Crickhowell, Breconshire, South Wales d. 12-26-1934 in Kansas Jane and William had 8 children, which I have info on. If anyone has info or connections to this GEORGE family, please contact me. I would love to know more. I will also share what info I have. Thanks!! And happy hunting!

Hi Fellow George Researchers! Since this list has been active of late with new posts, I thought I would repost my info for 'just in case.' Does anyone have any Mary George born in VA circa 1813? Or whom married into a Greene/Green family circa 1830 or thereabouts? I have no info at all about her parents or siblings if any. None. Can tell you lots about one of her Greene children though.... Thank you! Sue Pawley trottr@icanect.net

Still seeking help on this one. Elizabeth GEORGE m. Samuel Young (1787-1856), s/o William Frederick Young and Elizabeth Huff. This family lived in the area of Tennessee that is most probably Putnam County now. Could be Smith, Jackson, DeKalb, I'm at a loss. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

Looking for information on Robert B George. He was born about 1790 in Pennsylvania, according to the 1850 Carroll County census, Lee township. He was a farmer. His wife's name was Isabella, born about 1800 in Pennsylvania. On the census are listed children: William N., 24; Alexander, 23: Mitchel, 18; my gg-grandfather, Hamilton, 14; Rachael A., 12; James P., 9; and Margret, 6. Robert died March 5, 1874 and is buried in Scroggsfield Presbyterian Cemetery in Carroll County, Ohio. Who were Robert's parents? What was his wife's maiden name? And though I know about his son Hamilton's life, what happened to the other George's? Any help will be appreciated. Diane

I am trying to find the parents of James William George b. October 11, 1830, and he died on april 12, 1918 in Buckhart, Illinois. He married a Rebecca Jane Bowen from New Berlin, Illinois. If anyone has any connection or knows of any connection would like to hear from you. Sharon sharon1@mychoice.net

Hi George researchers! I posted this some time ago, but it seems we have new members on this list, so am reposting for that reason. Hopefully, someone will see a connection. Mary George dates unknown. Married a Charles Greene. Resided in VA probably city of Richmond circa 1850. Only known for sure child was a son Charles FM Greene. The George branch of the family was supposed to be related to the famous Rev. War General Francis Marion. Sound familiar, even remotely to anyone? Sue Pawley trottr@icanect.net

Debbie, Hi. I have a partial transcript of the 1850 census from Greene County Indiana that shows four GEORGE families. I am assuming they are all related. I also believe they all came from Boone County, Kentucky. It may be that David, William, and John are brothers. I, too, would like to know who their parents are. John is my ancestor, but the first census I have located him on is the 1830 census of Boone County, Kentucky. The land patents records (from the BLM website) show both David and John from Boone County, Kentucky. Here's the partial transcript from the 1850 census (cut to include only GEORGE surnames): 1850 GREENE COUNTY, INDIANA CENSUS District No. 40 HH Fam Name Age Sex Occupation Value Birth Place 235 235 James F.
