I received this from a commercial genealogical database newsletter and found it of interest. Unfortunately, it will NOT show the names of any early Germans, it seems. . I doubt that any Germanna colonists' names appear. But you might get lucky I was searching for a man named Wilhelm Braun, born December 1841 in Baden, but those names which appeared for those two names and born in Baden, indicated late baptisms. My Ulster Irish ancestor with a common surname showed up on the Kentucky frontier in 1820, the year he got married. Therefore, the Irish records will not pertain to him!!! I have modified the announcement somewhat, as I did not copy the entire announcement. You might take a look. Genealogists are always full of curiosity!! E.W.Wallace 30 January 2009 Since the last update on January 5, 2009, _FamilySearch_ (http://www.familysearch.org/) added over 40 million new records to its _Record Search pilot_ (http://pilot.familysearch.org/) . Individuals with international roots from Argentina, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, and the Philippines will find some nice surprises in the newly added collections. Birth, marriage, and death records were added for the Netherlands and Ireland. Irish researchers in particular have been anxiously awaiting the 23 million records from the Irish Civil Registration indexes. These records date from 1845-1958 and are also known as the Statutory Registration Records. Statutory registration for Protestants began in 1845 and for Catholics in 1864. Many thanks to the thousands of online _FamilySearch Indexing_ (http://www.familysearchindexing.com/) volunteers who helped make these wonderful records available. The new records can be searched for free at _FamilySearch.org_ (http://www.familysearch.org/) (Click Search Records, then Record Search pilot). End of message. **************Who's never won?

Don, I am not even aware of the circumstantial evidence. I think for too long we have not gone outside of the box. Granted, the Robinson theory may out of the box but certainly so far has no proof to got with it. All we can do with hypothesis is prove or disprove them. The normal method is to disprove it first. If it can't be disproved, then we work to prove it. I agree that the Weatherall theory has been disproved, at last as far I can ascertain.

Anderson" <wsa@crosslink.net> Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 22:31:41 -0400 I was interested to see that you list the wife of John Berry as Jemima Weatherall. I've previously commented on this list that there might be some connection between the Berrys and the Weatheralls, since all of the witnesses to John Berry's will were members of the George Weatherall family. However, I'm not aware of any evidence actually showing that John Berry's wife was a Weatherall. The will of George Weatherall does not mention any daughter named Jemima. -- I find various guesses on the net! Most seem to be based on various circumstances (hopeful guesses). Middle names. Yadda, yadda, yadda... No one seems to have any documentation to support their theory! But, as far a John Berry goes, I'm relatively satisfied that his father was George Berry.

According to Dr. Holtzclaw in The Germanna Record No. 14, Frances/Frankey Holtzclaw married John Hitt on 25 Nov 1793 in Fauquier Co VA.  In the sources available to me, I cannot locate a marriage bond or return for Frances.  In the estate papers of Joseph Holtzclaw, her father, her name is given as Frankey Hitt.  So she apparently did marry a Hitt.  Does anyone have a source that they can share that would provide some proof of her marriage? I have John P. Alcock's book, Fauquier Familes, 1759-1799, as well as the supplement he published to that volume.  He does not list a marriage for John Hitt and Frances/Frankey Holtzclaw. Thanks, Suzanne Collins Matson

Thanks for this tip - I did find the "find and replace" and have begun to use it a little. Fortunately you don't have to "replace all" - it will ask at each entry and this is helpful since my family is BIG on making surnames a middle name in later generations. For example, my brother's middle name is Tanner, from Mother's maiden name. I may never get it all cleaned up, but at least I am doing a little at a time - and I do appreciate your taking time to clue me in. Bonnie S. Knauss Original message: Bonnie, Not sure what version of Family tree that you have but you can go to EDIT and then find and replace and put your Tanner in first and then TANNER on the next line -- make sure that you check MATCH CASE -- then check REPLACE ALL. It will replace in the notes section and everywhere..

Reviewing Vol. 14, # 1 of the Germanna Foundation newsletter, I re-read the article by Betty Johnson of "Researching Archives material on Revolutionary War Veterans. Betty, this is the clearest set of instructions I have seen. It beats NARA's online instructions by a mile. I had intended to post to the list that there is another source that is easy and costs nothing to use. The Family History centers all have Footnote.com available for their patrons at no cost. You can e-mail the copies to yourself at some Family History Centers, but not all. It is 10 cents a copy to print the images. The complete files can be retrieved by using Footnote. Personal subscriptions are available, also. I am not sure whether the original files were used or microfilm. But, the images on Footnote are so much clearer than microfilm copies. There are also typescripted names that appear in a box when you put the cursor on a name or when you are just scrolling through the image. Some larger libraries have Footnote.com available for members. I have reviewed a number of my ancestors' files and have found a few errors in my interpretation due to not being familiar with the particular script or the poor copy I obtained. Cary

I incorrectly wrote that a John Robinson went off the records in the Berry article. It was JOHN BERRY who is left out to dry. As to the origins of this Robinson family, I'd to say England as the emigrant ancestor was Giles Robinson who came over in 1662 in Lancaster County.

I know there are several of us on this list who have been stymied at the origins of John Berry and his wife Jemima. I am working on a THEORY that she may have been a ROBINSON from Lancaster County. The reason why this door opens (perhaps falsely) is an article on the Berry family I recently ran across in a back issue of "The Bulletin of the Northumberland County Historical Society" that leaves John Robinson of the right time frame dangling in Northumberland County. A recent client project of mine was on the Robinson family of Lancaster and Northumberland County. Among them was one Aaron Robinson who had children (I think twins) Elisha and Elijah. There was a Jemima Robinson who was a cousin of his--AND I DO NOT KNOW WHO SHE MARRIED. To find ALL these names in the family of John and Jemima Berry is too much of a coincidence to ignore. As I said, this is just a theory at this point. And like all theories, one must set out to disprove it. I'd be interested in any input or thoughts on this. Craig Kilby

Yes, Fought was one of the alternative spellings for Vogt/Faught/Vaught. Jim Albin also told me about some Foughts or Faughts in Missouri.

Family Tree DNA does allow you to join different groups with test results from their lab, but they do not allow you to manually enter your test results from another DNA service. Interestingly, they will give you a significant discount from even the discounted group prices for tests, if you can prove that you have submitted to a test somewhere else: Pricing for testing at FTDNA (if you have already been tested at some other commercial lab): * 12 markers $59     (savings $40) * 25 markers $89     (savings $40 + $20 = $60) * 37 markers $119   (savings $40 + $20 + $20 = $80 over incremental upgrades - or $70 over initial 37 marker order) * Note: Add $2 for domestic s/h and $4 for international s/h Ancestry on the other hand, will allow you to enter test results from another lab into their database, at no charge. Since the more test results you can compare your test result to, the better, anyone who has submitted to a test at FTDNA, should consider also entering your results at ancestry. In addition, the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation, will give you a DNA test for their project, for free. The do ask you to submit a pedigree chart of your ancestors back to at least 1850 however, which I would imagine should not be a problem for anyone on this list.

Randolph county... ~don -----Original Message----- From: germanna_colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:germanna_colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of PlBledsoe@aol.com Sent: Friday, February 06, 2009 10:36 AM To: germanna_colonies@rootsweb.com Subject: [GERMANNA] Vogt/Faught/Vaught a Germanna Name Yes, Fought was one of the alternative spellings for Vogt/Faught/Vaught. Jim Albin also told me about some Foughts or Faughts in Missouri. My Faughts migrated west into Ohio, then Illinois, and they spelled the original Vogt spelling with a "F" or Faught. The same family members that migrated south to Wythe County, spelled the name with a "V," or Vaught. Interesting . . . Pat In a message dated 2/6/2009 10:28:37 A.M.

My husband's Bledsoe family (English) have lived for most of the last century in middle Georgia; however, his ancestors lived in Culpeper, Orange, Madison, and Fauquer Counties in VA, along with my Vogt's, Barlow's, and others in those counties, and the Stover's, Brumbacks, Lionberger, Kemper, and others from Page County, VA. Another Bledsoe ancestor owned land in the Little Fork area near Culpeper, along side of other Germanna names. His grandfather moved from Franklin, GA, to middle GA about 1920, and like all of our families, others migrated west into Mississippi, Texas, and other western homes. His 5-Great Grandfather Aaron Bledsoe was founder and pastor of the North Pamunkey Baptist Church in Orange County, and due to prejudices against the Baptists vs Church of England, migrated to Georgia in the very early 1800's. Members of that family then lived in Coweta and Hurd Counties in GA until his grandfather moved farther south into middle GA, while other Bledsoes moved on west. It's interesting to read that my ancestors lived very close to my husband's ancestors. Especially interesting is that my Vogt's, Barlows, and others lived so very close to where my sister lives now, in Culpeper, VA, the very place that I have visited from my early youth. I have SO learned from my cousins and others on the Germanna line. It is amazing what tidbits are still being learned!! Sincerely, Pat Bledsoe In a message dated 2/5/2009 9:09:25 P.M.
