I have recently made some new contacts that have given me some new information. My husband descends from William A. Glanton, who I believe is the younger brother of Dempsey. According to William's granddaughter he walked away from the family some time after 1905 and they never heard from him again. I tried to make contact with mforest but her e-mail address bounced. I think we are working on the same Glanton line. Can anyone else connect? Marion Glanton 1. WILLIAM THOMAS GLANTON was born 1814 in Edgefield Co. South Carolina. He married MARY J.

Hello GLANTON list members, There is a new resource, Classified Ads Boards, that can now be found from a link on the cluster page for the GLANTON surname and variations. As you know the Cluster page serves as a navigation aid to all resources for the GLANTON surname housed on RootsWeb. The Cluster page for the GLANTON surname can be found at: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/g/l/GLANTON/ You know that advertising (even when it can be helpful in our genealogical research) is generally not allowed on our mailing list and GenConnect boards. In an effort to help genealogists locate genealogical items, or list items being offered for sale, for example, out of print books you might be looking to sell or purchase, RootsWeb has created Classifieds at RootsWeb. These Classified Ad Boards work in the same way the GenConnect boards work and are only to be used for items of a genealogical nature pertaining to the surname shown on the board. These boards provide an outlet to help in our research for items that couldn't be properly listed elsewhere on RootsWeb. Enjoy them and use them to your best advantage!

I'm beginning to think William just dropped out of the sky. All I have to go on is family lore, that he was born in Georgia, 1840's, lived for a time in Pulaski TN, then his wife and children end up in Franklin, later became Colbert County AL. His wife Elizabeth Kimbrough Glanton and family are buried there but no William. There are many Kimbroughs in this area of Alabama, but she doesn't seem to fit into any of these families. Naturally this is a twice burned county, plus a tornado in 1920 that took home and lives of at least three of this family. Below is what I have and would be happy to find any connection to any of these people. Descendants of William A. Glanton 1 William A. GLANTON . +Elizabeth M.

Hello List Family Members, To make your query work harder for you... keep in mind the old rules of news reporting and include as many of the following as possible: WHO: State the names of people as completely as you can. WHAT: Try to limit your query to one or two specific events or bits of information. Post another one or more later with additional questions rather than load all your questions into one. In this way each of your questions will stand out and get attention. WHEN: Dates are important, if you don't know the day, month and year try to put in a period (1790s, late 1800s etc.) WHERE: Mention the location in the body of the query. Include a more specific location if you can. WHY: Why are you searching for this(these) individual(s)? Describe your connection to him/her. HOW: How your query appears will often get subscriber's attention. Check spelling, grammar and format. Apply the KISS system: Keep It Simple Simple. SUBJECT FIELD: To get the most from your query, place the SURNAME, LOCATION, YEAR in the subject field. Remember ! ! ! ! Many subscribers belong to multiple list servers; therefore, many go through their mail looking at subject fields only. Unfortunately, messages with "My Family", "My Line", "My Grandfather", "My JONES", etc., as subjects are deleted without ever being opened. REPETITION: Once you have an acceptable looking query, save it and update it as necessary. Use it again about once a quarter to touch base with new members. Also, you may use it on web sites that accepts queries. REMEMBER: Your goal is to get information. A list server (discussion group) such as this is an excellent means for helping you reach it. Make the query work! By following these recommendations, your query stands a better chance of being read and you may make that great contact that you need. GOOD QUERIES CONNECT...

Recently, on other RootsWeb surname mailing lists, two incidences of inappropriate activities have occurred. A lurker on one or more surname list was posing as a surname researcher and was personally contacting list members who had posted queries on the surname discussion list. This individual would not share information and became rather intimidating to those list members refusing to share their data. Consequently, many of the list members became afraid to post further queries or data to the list for fear of reprisal from this individual. After considerable investigation, it appeared that this individual was writing a book on the surname(s) and used rude tactics to achieve their goal. Another incident involved an individual who has badgered surname list members to purchase their books after members posted a query on the surname list. Both of these activities, whether intimidating or badgering list members on or off the list, will not be tolerated and will result in the perpetuator being permanently removed from the list. If the perpetuator's activity warrants, they will be reported to their Internet Service Provider recommending their account be terminated. If anyone experiences any actions considered inappropriate relative to this list, please notify me immediately using my personal email address: [email protected] Any report of inappropriate activity will kept in strict confidence.

Good morning family, A big welcome to our new GLANTON family members who have recently joined us! We are very glad to have you with us and hope you'll stay and remain a part of our online family. As soon as you're comfortable with us and the list, please send in your ancestor's lines so we can all see how we're related to you. We all share the same goals of wanting to find our families. Sometimes do you get so tired and frustrated from years and years of searching for your ancestor. Have you spent the last 1, 5, 10 or 20 years looking for your ancestor and are no closer now than when you started the search? We've sent the same query with the same questions to several historical societies and continually get the same negative answers. We've looked in census, probate, cemetery, military, Bible and church records to no avail. An additional source we have is each other. How many of us have small libraries at home that might have the answers one of the GLANTON family needs? Have you checked yours at home for anything that might help the family? We need to continue posting those hidden records. Please, don't stop. That one little record, that one little paragraph, that one little scrap of information you shoved in a box under the stack of books, that certificate you received that wasn't yours after all, all those census extractions and cemeteries you read -- we need to dig all that material out and put it on the list. We came together to get answers and break down our brick walls. But, as the saying goes, "When you give, you receive." It's a principle that has never failed. Helping someone work out their lines might just uncover the fact that you're both cousins! Working together and sharing brings each of us a step closer to the big link we have waited for. Each of us on this list could be that lost link. Posting everything we know about our families is the only way our new members will know who we're looking for. So, what do you say family? Let's all get busy and start posting and talking again? After all, isn't finding our lines what brought us all together in the first place and gave us all this reason for sharing, for caring? Thanks everyone for making this such a great list! Without you, it wouldn't be. Warm regards, Jim Young List Moderator and RootsWeb Donor

This message is directed to all members subscribed to the list in either the Mail mode (messages received individually) or Digest mode (messages accumulated in a single message). The purpose of this message is an attempt to conserve RootsWeb Archive space and make messages easier to read and understand. On occasions, members subscribed in the Digest mode will return the entire Digest of messages when responding to a particular message within the Digest or when forwarding a particular message from the Digest of another mailing list. Such practices take-up unnecessary storage space within the RootsWeb Archives and besides, trying to sort through an entire Digest of quoted messages to find the applicable quotes to a particular message can become a difficult task. Please, DO NOT hit your "Reply" button and return the entire Digest of messages to the list when responding to or forwarding a particular message. If you choose to use your "Reply" button to quote a particular message within the Digest, please edit the "Subject:" line to reflect the subject of the message being quoted. Prior to sending your response to the list, PLEASE highlight and delete all quoted text not applicable to your response such as headers, taglines and other messages. On occasions, members subscribed in the Mail mode will respond to a particular message without deleting unnecessary quoted text. Prior to sending your response to the list, PLEASE highlight and delete all quoted text not applicable to your response such as headers, text and taglines. For example, when responding to a question concerning an individual in a descendant report which is a 20,000 byte message, the responder does not have to return the entire 20,000 byte message as a quoted message to address the question. Probably, all except five or six lines can be deleted from the quoted message.
