Hello! My name is Christina Gale, and I'm a Senior at Brigham Young University. I am a Family History Major here, and am currently working on the Hancock line. I was wondering if anyone had any info they could help me with? I am related through Solomon Hancock's 2nd wife, Phoebe Adams. Solomon's info: B: 14 Aug 1793 M: 28 June 1835 D: 2 Dec 1847 Here's my genealogy: Thomas HANCOCK (born 1763) and Amy WARD (b 1769) Solomon HANCOCK (b 1793) and Phoebe ADAMS (b 1811) Isaac Adams HANCOCK (b 1837) and Margaret Melvina BINGHAM (b 1840) Phoebe Lorraine HANCOCK (b 1873) and Charles Edward GALE (b 1872) Elmer Woodruff GALE John Woodruff GALE Craig Woodruff GALE Christina Roseann GALE (me!) I spent the summer in Nauvoo, Illinois, and while I was there I found quite a few records about the Hancock family and their lives in Illinois and Missouri. I have found a lot of Solomon's mission stories searching through ancestry.com on the internet. I also have copies of a few of the books written by relatives of Solomon (his son, C.B. Hancock, brother Levi Ward Hancock, and cousin Erastus Hancock.) I am working on a biography concerning the life of Solomon Hancock, and was wondering if you have any information concerning either he or his family? I am looking especially for any biographies, letters, birth, marriage, and death certificates, land records, court records, or photographs that anyone might have of Solomon and/or his family. Please let me know if you have any information I could use; I am also eager to share the documents I have found! Thank you very much, Christina Gale email: tinarose31@hotmail.com or: crg4@email.byu.edu _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

Cousin Alvis - Thanks for the reminder of how the retribution towards the South after Lincoln's death and the catastrophe of the War Between the States has affected all of us, even to the present.

I am a Hancock bred and born in VA. I know live in Logan County KY. In reading this site and others I am wondering if anyone out there is related to William B. Hancock who died in Orange County VA in 1829. He is my 4 great grandfather. My line is from his son, William, who died in 1820. Is anyone related? I love the way you have all come together to bring us this Hancock Project. I would like to add my line but don't exactly know how to do this. Isabel Hancock Tyler

Hello, I have been away from genealogy for over a year, and have decided to get back to it. My computer died in August, and all my files were lost, including my address book. So I have lost all my Hancock cousins! Please drop me a note For the folks who don't know me: my grandmother was Janie Bell Hancock from Okeechobee, Florida Her father was Henry Hudson Hancock who was born in Polk County and moved to Okeechobee County at the beginning of the 20th century. You can see my line on the Hancock web site. I have a new address as well, as I am now on a cable connection. It is charlenenewell@hotmail.com also on the AOL chat and my name there is junecharlene; I live in Spain, so 10 at night here is late afternoon in the states, would love to hear from you all. Best wishes during this terrible time in history, Charlene _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

In view of the great tragedy of the past week-----I'd like to quote the last few lines of a poem written by Herman Melville after the death of Lincoln: There is a sobbing of the strong And a pall upon the land; And the people, in their weeping, Bare the iron hand, Beware the people weeping, When they bare the iron hand.

This is a message that came to me from another list: >I have recently received a picture of a young woman, baby and a man probably in his late 40's. I think the picture was probably taken around 1880 or thereabouts. I have found the picture to be in the possession of two different descendants. One descandant from William Warren Vass(1847-1901) and the other a descendant from James Monroe Hancock(1838-1927). I am thinking I might get a closer time from finding out when this Clarence Anderson was a photographer in Hopkinsville. Does anybody have access to a city directory for that time period? Would appreciate any help. Maybe the census records would give a clue. Thanks Dan Vass. If you would like to look at the picture it is at the following address: http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ky/county/todd/gallery/photo14.htm. The photo is located in the top left corner. From: Dan Vass <dsvass@kiva.net>

Julia, Sorry, I can't help you with info on your Hancocks on 1830 census, but thought it a huge coincidence. I am Gary Lay - got this email of yours from the Hancock List as I have been trying to work on my wife's genealogy - her maiden name: Karen Jo Hancock from Anderson, Indiana. The coincidence I refer to is that my Dad was from Casey County and my Mom lived in that area for a while and still has a few relatives there (her maiden name was Buis). I doubt if there is any relationship between your Hancocks and my wifes, but just thought it was interesting and thought I would drop you a note. Good luck with your search. Gary

Hi, everyone, I've followed the thread regarding selling of posted information to a website (FTM). I have posted my information to World Connect at Rootsweb.com. It is stated in their policy NEVER to sell your information. It is YOURS to do with as you like. You may read the policy statement on the World Connect website. I have posted my information to World Connect for the past few years, and I am unaware of ANY breach in this policy. Also, when the GEDCOM is uploaded to the site, one can select whether or not the descendancy chart can be downloaded, and how many generations. One can also select NEVER to allow a download of any part of the GEDCOM, or if it is allowed, how many generations. I do not allow the download of my GEDCOM, and only 5 generations of the Descendancy Chart. I have cleaned my line of vital information for those living after 1900. I used my own method, but this option can also be selected when uploading the GEDCOM. The descendancy chart can be downloaded, but the information has to be manually entered into a genealogy program. Most of the information in my line is from public domain records, but the work in compiling the information is mine. I'm satisfied with the way World Connect displays my information. I am not html literate. I have the software, but so far, have not been able to figure it out, and haven't the time, currently to sit down and puzzle it out. World Connect is the easiest way I have found to submit my information. Bonnie

Hello list: I must be crazy! If I am totally confused please help me out here...Let me take another stab at this. I only mentioned FTM, (which is owned by Ancestry.com), as the program I use. I explained that I copy my file and convert it to GEDCOM, and then send it to Rootsweb.com, where it is posted, and is very easily updated. We have discussed this before. But following are Rootsweb's own policy statements: "RootsWeb.com, Inc. is NOT responsible for the content of the GEDCOMs uploaded through the WorldConnect Program. If you have a problem with a particular entry, please contact the submitter of said entry. Unlike with certain other Web sites, you have full control over your GEDCOM. You can change or remove it completely at any time and RootsWeb will never burn it onto a CD-ROM or charge others to access it." "RootsWeb will neither sell nor charge for access to your genealogical information (for example, your posts to RootsWeb mailing lists or message boards, your Web pages hosted at RootsWeb, and any datasets you have donated to RootsWeb or the USGenWeb Archives) without your permission.RootsWeb will not under any circumstances sell or give away a list of our users' postal addresses or e-mail addresses." >From the above, it is clear that THEY WILL NOT SELL THE INFO! Of course, any info which is posted on the net can be copied. This includes any info we post at the Hancock Project, whether we use Rootsweb or the current format. And any info that can be copied can also be sent to companies like Ancestry.com, and sold on CDs. I don't see any difference here. If this is the case, why not use the quickest and easiest way? Once you have your info in GEDCOM format you can easily do all kinds of things with it. After hearing some of the comments, I still think we should consider doing this. We can keep the Hancock website pretty much as it is, showing documents such as wills, etc., but we could change it so that each Hancock line is handled by one person. We can use Rootsweb to post each line. This way, the person in charge enters all the info on that line into his/her own program, then converts it to GEDCOM and sends it in to Rootsweb, updating when necessary. Each line is simply accessed from the Hancock website by a link. HELP! Jim Hancock
