Hi Listers ~ I'm trying to find information relating to a Nat HANLEY that lived in San Francisco, CA. in the early 1900's. My gg grandmother was Honora MAJOR born in Co Mayo, Ire. Married to George Major (same surname) They immigrated to Ontario, Canada in approx 1843. One of their children was Bridget Mary Major. I believe she married a man named Nat. HANLEY. In the mother's obit in 1893 and in a brother's obit in 1906 there are references made to a "Mrs. Nat HANLEY of San Francisco". Sound familiar to anybody out there! Thanks.........Rhonda (from near Milwaukee, Wisconsin)

Hi, all. While exploring Rootsweb some today, I noticed that there is an email list for HANLEY, and that it needs someone to adopt it. The duties (which aren't too time consuming) are explained on the site at: http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/adoptable/H.html Maybe someone from here would be interested? I hadn't realized there was such a similar list, and think I may join it at least for awhile. Hope you all had a great New Years. Nancy

LOOKING : Hi I am looking for Mitchell Handley who was a father to Lucy in 1849-1851. She was either born in WI or IL. Sharon

Hi, Alan. Glad you have found info on Uriah Handley through this list. Everyone, reach around and pat yourselves on your backs. Good job you are doing, sharing your research with each other through lists like this one and through web pages some of you have. Way to go! What fun it was to watch celebrations of the New Year progressing around the world last night. Wouldn't our ancestors be amazed! Nancy

Hi Nancy, Well I thought that if Handleys on your side of the water were stumped that may be a source not looked at. I didnt know about that scheme, so many children being uprooted and sent abroad to possibly better lives? Still better than being in a 'Home'. By the way looks like I've located that Uriah Handley via your website mailing list archives. Part of a message I've received. So it pays to advertise. '"I wandered into a Handley Rootsweb List and saw some archived queries including yours about the Handley family from Waterbeach in Cambridgeshire with a grandaughter named Jeanette, aged 17, born in Kansas. The query also says that her father you are sure was Uriah Handley, though you didn't know when he emigrated. I know a lot about this family and have recently received a family report about them because my husband is a descendent of one of Uriah's siblings and Larrie's cousin has done a lot of work on the research on this family."' So I must say thank you Nancy for suggesting I joined you e-mail group and posted my query, thank you. Alan At 13:11 27/12/99 EST, you wrote: >Interesting search and site, Alan.

Interesting search and site, Alan. Some of them were pretty young. << http://www.archives.ca/exec/naweb.dll?fs&020110&e&top&0 >> Nancy

Hi Chris, Happy Christmas to you, I had tried that but got the same response so I must have missed a little bit off the end. Tried it again just and it worked second time. The website in Canada that I mentioned to Nancy was about a few thousand orphans being sent from England at the end of the last century and beginning of this one just about to close and the were some Handleys on there I wondered if anyone knew about this site http://www.archives.ca/exec/naweb.dll?fs&020110&e&top&0 They werent called orphans but 'Home Children' Alan

Hi Alan You are right, it is too long rounding off onto the next line but by using copy and paste you can access the site. regards Chris Bartlett > Hi Nancy, > I've tried that url and it crashes possibly too long. > > Did you look at the Orphan Handleys on the Canada site I sent you the url > of direct? > > Alan > > At 13:22 25/12/99 EST, you wrote: > >There are Handley's mentioned in the Historical Pittsburgh digital library > >collection: > > > >http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/pitttext-idx.pl?type=header&oldtype > =si > >mple&q1=handley&byte=43905715 > > > >Merry Christmas! > > > >Nancy > > > > > > > >

Hi Nancy, I've tried that url and it crashes possibly too long. Did you look at the Orphan Handleys on the Canada site I sent you the url of direct?

<< << This site you sent did not work. > Cheryl, the site link is a tricky (and very long) one. Some browsers cut the address off part way through it, and that won't work.

Any one know who this James Hanly was???? By NADINE WEBB OVERALL page 350 Ramsay, in his Annals of Tennessee, under the entry of 1779, says: “Nearly ten years had now elapsed since the germ of a civilized community has been planted in Upper East Tennessee.... In the early spring of 1779 a colony of gallant adventurers from [p.350] the parent hive at Watauga crossed the Cumberland Mountains, penetrated the intervening wilds, and pitched their tents near the French Lick, and planted a field of corn where the city of Nashville now stands. . . . These pioneers were Capt. James Robertson, George Freeland, Wm. Neely, Edward Swanson, James Hanly, Mark Robertson, Zachariah White, and Wm. Overall. A Negro fellow also accompanied them... After the crop was made, Overall, White, and Swanson were left to keep the buffaloes out of the unenclosed fields of corn while the rest of the party returned for their families.”

I've just added the following marriage to my online database at: http://www.angelfire.com/ma2/massmarriages/ HANDLEY Marlon W., residence: Acton MA, daughter of Eleazer Married 12 Nov 1844 in Acton MA to ROUILLARD John P., shoe maker, residence: Acton MA, son of Lewis More marriages will be added in the weeks and months to come.

Kaathy- you remarks were will but. I think the real rub comes when you spend a lot of time on research and you don't get credit for it. I know that I put some thing up and later went back and corrected it and it appeared wrong in the work some one put out under there name. Of coursse they got blamed for the mistakebut that was not the point. Hoow little time it takes to say thankyou to the people who's info and hrs of research you used. Ann

Forwarded to the group - Nancy << Subj: Re: [HANDLEY-L] Copyright info to mull over Date: 12/10/1999 4:30:18 PM Central Standard Time From: kathyhandley@earthling.net (Kathy Handley) Reply-to: kathyhandley@earthling.net (Kathy Handley) To: sftrail@aol.com (Couldn't get this through to the list; I thought I tried to post from the wrong address, but after changing it it was still returned to me. So I'm sending it on privately to you, rather than keep bouncing messages to the list! Take care --) Hi Nancy, and everyone else -- As a writer I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out different nuances of copyright law. I read the article you mentioned here, and I think I can help. The book itself, as a creative work, is protected by copyright. The facts within the book are just that -- facts. If you were to go through the book and extract all of the factual information and present it on a webpage, that would be fine. But to simply copy and republish the book as it was written is a violation of copyright. On the other hand, all that's needed to prevent copyright violation is the express permission to reprint from the current copyright holder (the author). Since you have permission -- WRITTEN permission, even, there's no problem at all. At the same time, you ARE required to place a notice at the bottom of each page that reads: Copyright (c) 1975 John Doe. Reprinted with permission. All rights reserved. (Changing the date and name, of course! :)) As far as information on living people goes, it's still factual information, it's not protected by copyright or anything else. If someone published my full name, or my birthday or town of birth, I couldn't very well argue about it -- it's information that's publicly available. In fact, just this past summer, my high school published a directory of its alumni, and there I was, my full name, address, and phone number. I didn't give them permission, I didn't talk to them at all -- but they are completely allowed to do it. The only real question is privacy, and that's always been a sticky issue with genealogy on the web. *I* know that if I publish a family tree, and I let it be publicly known that my dad's name is Alan, and I have a brother named Ben and a sister named Becky, I'm not exactly putting anyone's life or privacy in danger. But *they* might feel differently, and I feel I have an obligation to get their permission before I make any information more than their first names available. But I'm thinking about things like sharing gedcoms or publishing a tree at Kindred Konnections or Family Tree Maker. This situation is different: this is a book on Handleys for Handley researchers. Handley researchers pose little or no threat to other members of their extended family, and the odds that anyone else would find it online, let alone read it when it was of no use to them personally, are astronomically small. Put it this way: first names and birthyears and states of residence are fine. Social security numbers, exact addresses, phone numbers -- asking for trouble. It's all public information, but you have to draw a line somewhere and allow for privacy. To keep the copyright intact, all you need to do is this: If the original text reads something like this -- Ebenezer Scrooge Handley, of Handley & Son Antiques in Austin, TX, was born in 1903 to Bob Cratchit Handley and Leonora Scrooge. He is still alive and well and living at 321 Main Street in Austin. Change it so it reads -- Ebenezer Scrooge Handley, of Handley & Son Antiques in Austin, TX, was born in 1903 to Bob Cratchit Handley and Leonora Scrooge. He is still alive and well and living ... in Austin. "..." signifies that a portion of the original statement has been removed. If you need to *change* something entirely, you would use brackets: He is still alive and well and living ... in [Texas]. As for businesses, that's nothing to worry about at all. Just be sure nothing being said about them is potentially libelous. Saying that "Jim Smith, the owner of the local fish market, was an irresponsible man with poor personal hygiene" is libelous -- it's not a factual statement, and it's damaging to his reputation and his ability to do business -- and Jim Smith or his family could be quite upset about it. On the other hand, something factual like "Tainted cod from Jim Smith's Downtown Fish Emporium caused a salmonella epidemic that killed a family of four" is completely all right -- it doesn't comment on Jim personally, merely an actual event that took place. This is getting VERY long-winded so I'm going to stop now, but I'll say this -- it's mostly all common sense. If you want to completely omit details on living people, you can do that too. Imagine this sentence tells the names and birthdays of seven children, three of whom are still alive. "They had three sons and seven daughters: Joe, Bob, [LIVING], Alice, Carol, [LIVING] and [LIVING]. Joe was born December 8, 1883; Bob was born exactly one year later .... Alice and Carol, twins, were born in 1887 ...." -- Just remove things using "..." or [brackets]. I hope this helps some, and let me know if you need me to clarify anything. I wrote this out pretty quickly. :) Happy holidays to all, Kathy. kathyhandley@earthling.net ----- Original Message ----- >>===snip====
