Hello all, Please let me introduce myself. My name is Garnet Helen Hendershot Eisler. Though my first name is Garnet, I use my second name, Helen. I am the sixth daughter of Charles Kenneth Hendershot, born June 25, 1900/died June 6, 1959. My father was born in Dawson Ridge, Monroe County, OH. My grandfather's name was Wesley Hendershot and I am not sure when he was born, but he died in the 1930s or early 1940s. Wesley was married to ? Winland. They had nine children; all are deceased now. I was a history major in college and just need 8 credits for my bachelors degree. I have an associates in Secondary Ed with a history minor. My field of history is Ancient History, from the beginning of time to about 800 AD. I have done a lot of research and am doing research for a book on a local landmark in my area. I have been online for years and can remember the Internet when it was all text and directories. I am a list owner and webmaster of another list and am familiar with list operation, maintenance and protocol. I have agreed to be administrator of this list. I'll be mostly in the background. And looking for a possible link to my family. Now I would like to offer a couple suggestions. 1. When you quote anything from a book in a message to the list, please include the book you are quoting from, the author of the book and the page number. Otherwise, you break copyright law. And yes, even here on the Internet. 2. Let's try to remember to enter a subject for our messages. It makes it easier to sort and identify mail. 3. Please use plain ASCII test. And do not use colored text or background. Some list members may receive "funny" characters in the list mail they receive, or the message may be unreadable if you get fancy. Very annoying! 4. And last but not least, please do not give your mailing address or other really personal information on the list. One never knows who is out there. And just one last thing, though it is from my historical experience. Just because you find a person with the name you are looking for in county records, that may not be the person you are looking for. There may have been at least one other person with the same name. Believe me, I know from my experience! Now, back to the Hendershot families. Helen Hendershot Eisler Hendershot List Administrator.
