Thank you Lee Anne, I will look into that. Kathy From: Lee Anne Center <lacenter@comcast.net> To: germanna_colonies@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, October 6, 2011 9:26 PM Subject: Re: [GERMANNA] Heritage Quest - get a library card with your state library Kathy, Although your city may not have Heritage Quest, your state library may. I don't know how your state library works, but ours allows anyone who lives in the state to get a library card. Check with your state library to see if it does too and if it has Heritage Quest Online that you can use remotely and in the library. It is likely that your state library has Heritage Quest Online, JSTOR and other things you might be interested in. You probably can find out by calling, although you will probably have to go into the library to get the card.

I just accessed Heritage Quest through my Arlington County Library. I would be more than glad to share my number if anyone wants to use that site for research.

Cary, As always, oh so true. I think those of us who have been on this list for a while recognize your typing limitations and "get" what you are saying. I loved your observation about different writing styles. For my self, I was born and raised in the St. Louis, MO area and my writing style is perfectly understandable and non-offensive to anyone from that area. But, a person in another part of the US may find it incomprehensible, too "mid west," or even "offensive." We were taught to stick to the point and make the point. Its that simple to me, because it was engrained in my head. I think anyone who has ever read my posts will agree. To sweeten it up with "My dog learned to pee today outside" or "Gee, how is Aunt Sally doing?" would be considered rude and evasive in a business communication, which I consider any rootsweb list to be. This is of course at odds with many others here, who from their own backgrounds think that we need to know all about the dog and Aunt Sally. We don'! t care. Why bring her up? What has it to do with the message? Yes, different libraries offer different things. There are also regional libraries and state libraries. Under no circumstances would I ever give out my library card number nor give out access codes I have to use those library collections. I wouldn't' even think about asking for it.

To Harriet, Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge of how you got into HeritageQuest, I appreciate that... even after the hoopla regarding my question about the code, you still offered assistance.  Thank you, I sincerely hope the sun shines warm upon your face today.   Cary, thank you for the tip that my own library might have HeritageQuest.  They do not, but you have no way of knowing that...   Chocy, Thank you for the "Thank you" that you gave me for giving out an avenue to explore, but I can't take credit for that... If you look closely at the email you replied to, that was not sent by me, but by Cary.   Craig, I did not intend to cause you to be taken aback by my question regarding "the code".  Harriet's email about how she got into HeritageQuest was the first one I read... If you read it, she says how she googled the library's name, it worked, and she went to HeritageQuest and that it was a nice surprise.  I thought she went there on someone's suggestion.  I did the same, the site asked me for "the code", not a library card.  I would not ask someone for their card number, but I thought it might be a shared group code.  Many of the other genealogy groups I belong to do...    Craig, you also commented that there are many options other than my bankrupt local library... Look closely at the email you were responding to... I'm not the one who wrote that their library is bankrupt, that was Chocy commenting that his/her city finds other ways to spend tax dollars.  You also commented to Mary that I had figured it out anyway, using my own state's system.  Look again, I did not post that I had accomplished that feat, that was CookerLP, among a few others.  This is the only time I have posted anything since my asking "What's the code to enter".   Cary, you wrote in your last email of arthritis and a slowing of the thinking process... I am truly sorry to hear that.  Someone mentioned in this thread of emails  "See, how hard was that?"  I'm sure you know that it can be hard sometimes... I was thrilled to think, for a moment, that this group also openly shares access to websites.  I thought it was being shared, for one reason, because Harriet went to a site online, not in person to a library, and got into it.  That sounded good to me, as I am a disabled Veteran, and find it exceedingly difficult to get around.  I am also going blind, so being able to read something on my own assisted monitor is helpful.    I've been doing research longer than I can remember... 20 years in the military, then with DEA, now on my own... I have gotten back to the 1500s on some, brick walls in the 1700s on others.  Like many of us, I have shelves and shelves, and boxes galore of research I have done.  It is,  pretty much, the only joy I have now, even if it is only vicariously living through someone else's thrill of uncovering what was once a mystery.  I quit reading most of the emails on Germanna that didn't have a Surname in the subject line, because, too many times, I would open up an email that was nothing more than someone going on a tirade and being rude.  Someone here mentioned that asking for an access code is "rather cheesy", and "is the surest say (way?) to get kicked off of them".  I'm glad the other groups I belong to openly share with each other, it makes research so much more fun, and the human contact so much more pleasant.  I will admit that reading these emails can sometimes be like "who's on first", maybe there is some type of enjoyment in that...  By the way, Craig, are you by any chance related to Kilby family up near Elyria, OH?  Fred Kilby in particular, was a wonderful young man...   Thanks for the patience and understanding of all... In a few hours, I will move outside, or by a window, close my eyes, and feel the beautiful warmth of sunshine on my face and be at peace.  I wish the same for all of you.   Kathy

Just looking at the map that John Blankenbaker redrew of the Germanna patents and connecting some dots -- that most of you probably connected years ago. in the top left hand corner, we find Michael Kaifer who we know by 1726 was married to Anna Maria Blankenbaker Thomas who had 4 surviving children, John, Anna Magdalena, Michael and Anna Margaret. Land joining Michael Kaifer was Smith, Harnsbarger, Moyer, Walden, (and next to him Wayland) Michael Smith married Anna Magdalena Thomas Henry Aylor was the stepson of Harnsbarger. Henry was probably living in that household -- he married Anna Margaret Thomas Michael Thomas is thought to have married Catherine Wayland So ---- do we know of any Moyer or Walden who might have had a daughter who married John Thomas -- that way the Thomas kids would have picked a spouse from each of their neighbors. Of the Thomas original patent (to Michael and John). John sold his half to his brother Michael who then sold it to Elliott Bohannon. The son of Elliott Bohannon married the daughter of Anna Margaret Thomas Aylor. What did Elliott Bohannon Sr do with the land that was the original Thomas patent?

Need some help on Henry's land He and John Thomas were naturalized on the same day and he then got 400 acres of land from John Thomas. He married John's sister, Anna Margaret Thomas, about the same time. The he got a 34 acres -- grant, patent, deed -- not sure? exact date -- any info other than Fork of the Rappahonnack? And the next thing he did was buy 200 and then 100 acres from the Germanna patent of Cook and Crigler (of their 400 acres) in 1759. In what book and page was the 100 acres recorded in Culpeper. So now he is up to 834 acres of land In 1774, he sold 200 acres (of the 400 acres from John Thomas) and another 200 acres at the same time. 1776 He bought 422 acres on Deep Run -- ? Book and page # So now he has bought 1134 acres of land and I only have a record for the sale of 400 acres -- Also possible this is reference to another parcel Henry Ealer (Aylor) (1776). This land parcel had been patented to Bloodworth, who sold to Capt. Roan, who conveyed to Thomas Newman and Thomas Porter, who conveyed to Ealer, who was having it surveyed as Northern Neck property. Chain Carriers were Thomas Chissel & Tivolt Fife (?). Did he leave any land in his estate and if so what was the description. Does anyone have reference to the sale of any of the rest of his land -- the other 200 acres that he got from John Thomas-- or any of it.

You can tell we are family. We snip at each other just as we help each other. We share and we withhold. We become frustrated because 'you don't do it like I do', etc. Here I was bemoaning the fact that Benton County, Arkansas, the most prosperous in Arkansas, and high up the list in the US, was the only one of two counties in Arkansas' 75 didn't have a sales tax to support the library and draw down thousands from the state. Yet, they provide a card to anyone who lives in Arkansas for about $10 a year. This is in comparison with fayetteville our neighbor to the south which charges $15 for non-resident for 3 years but in reality becomes forever to access their databases. I have no idea what a library pays to subscribe to Heritage Quest, but would like to know. I can't think of any other reaseon. I decided to write on this once again as it does illustrate the main purpose of this list. Sharing. This is what public libraries are all about. At least that is somewhere in their statement of purpose, reason to be, or some such thing. Well the story of getting access to Heritage Quest is like getting assistance at Libraries. At some it is a piece of cake at others, it is more difficult that getting a tour of the Bank of England! Some of us oldies sometime write in a way that may offend. That is never my intention. Style of writing sometimes vary's with background, location, etc. My only intent is to help, but write from my own perspective, which I'm sure varies from many others. Some of us have expertise in one thing, some in another, but all of us have expertise in something. Not too long ago, I prided my self on my English grammar and spelling. Now with arthritis and a bit of slowing of the thinking process, I may offend unkowningly. Thanks for the patience and underderstanding of all. Cary

Does anyone have a source and citation for the 200 acres of land that John Railsback paid tax on in Barren Co., KY? How did he get this land, and what does the documentation say, what can I put for a source and where is the sale of it recorded? Am I ever going to finish with the documentation for Johannes Thoma and his grandchildren? <sigh> Take care. Marilyn By the way, a line from John Railsback and Elizabeth Thomas has a family finder DNA match with another line from Hans/John Thomas. Those are some persistent genes. The test only professes to be accurate within the last 5 generations so this one was way out of the curve.

Hi I live in rural West Virginia the closest library is 22 miles away. None of the local (five counties) libraries had access to Heritage Quest. The only libraries in West Virginia with access required residency in that county. This was three years ago. Fairfax County Virginia does offer both a non-resident card and access to Heritage Quest online. I had to mail in my application the first time and mail a check once a year. Applying is easy and the fee is $27 a year. http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/library/accountservices/cardelgb.htm Fairfax County Public Library Circulation Services ATTN: NON-RES 12000 Government Center Pkwy Suite 324 Fairfax, VA 22035 Keep up the good work. -- Sandy Cowan

Lisa, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I really appreciate the information. Now if I can just reconcile Lovel's supposed birth date with his parents' marriage. According to the Death Record, he was born about 1803; however, in the 1860 Census for Monroe Co., WV, he was listed as 60 years old, making his DOB 1800. In either case, from all records he was born way before the marriage of his parents. Something still amiss here. Sarah's age at death should have been 78 (not 18) yrs, 7 mos, 12 days. (Someone mistook a 7 for a 1.) Thanks again, ever so much, for the help.

As I remember from my 2nd grade English class with Sister Mary Beatitude, "what's the code to enter?" is a QUESTION. Now, if I could only remember the definition she taught us for "get real" ... but then, we had a little more reality than Sister Mary Beatitude had hoped for. But back to library cards (and how did we get to credit cards?) ... if I thought you needed a book or were desperately seeking a long-lost relative on Heritage Quest, I would, out of the kindness of my heart, loan you my library card complete with a code. Remember, we're family, aren't we? Or maybe some of us are in that "removing unwanted family members" category that I spoke of earlier with my how-to-list. In any case, it's nice to know that some of us are family helping family!

I, for one, thought that Kathy was asking a very fair question ... not to "steal" your priceless, invaluable, worth-its-weight-in-gold library card number.

Chocy and all, The Rappahannock Regional Library System based in Fredericksburg, VA offers out of area memberships and a variety of benefitis for a fee. HOWEVER, joining from afar may prove to be a challenge as many proofs of residence and identity are required. I would think one's local or state libraries would be a far much simpler option. You can visit their web site at librarypoint.org to learn more about how one such system may work.

Do you know if it would be free for residents of San Diego County? Do you have to go to LA to apply?

I forgot to mention that I went to the Allegany Co. Library a few years ago for the purpose of getting a library card. I still have the card. I guess they still have it in their system. Harriet</HTML>

Thanks for the tip on checking the nearby counties. I just found it for free for California residents at the Los Angeles County Library. They do have Heritage Quest, and I believe it's available online to card holders...

Need some help with Lovel BROYLES in the subject line. I originally had him as the son of Zacharias BROYLES and Elizabeth BROYLES. Thanks to Mark Shaw who posted a Comment on the Tree at Ancestry, we now have Lovel's Death Record which shows his parents as Solomon BROYLES and Sarah. Lovel's spouse is listed as Elsie, who I am sure is his 2nd wife, Alice "Elsie" "Alcey" RAINS. So, I've detached Lovel from Zacharias and re-attached him to Solomon J. BROYLES and Sarah J. "Sally" THOMPSON. The problem I have is that someone, a long, long time ago, sent me data saying that Solomon and Sarah received a Marriage License on 28 Jan 1809 and were married on 2 Feb 1809, about years AFTER Lovel was born. Plus, in 1809, Solomon was about 36 years old and Sarah was about 28 years old, which just doesn't sit well with me. For both spouses to be that old at marriage is very unusual, so I wonder if the marriage data is incorrect. I can't find the original correspondence sent to me about the marriage to see if there were any sources given.

Wow, wish I could get access to Heritage Quest thru the local library for $15.00. The library I do have access to, that dropped home use for Heritage Quest charges $125.00 for non residents to get a library card. Guess I should check around the county and see if there are any $15.00 ones I can use.
