    1. Thomas Holmes, NY; NEED HELP
    2. J. Bunnell~Ogden
    3. Hi fellow list members... I really hate to bother anyone, but I am having a difficult time getting to the library ... and I was wondering if some kind person would do a lookup for me. I need an obituary for Thomas HOLMES who died Aug.11,1863 in NYC (Manhattan). It is the only way I can think of to find out who his parents were. I have the Death Liber info and the Probate, but there is no mention of parents or siblings. I really am at a loss as to what to do next. Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated... Thanks. Jackie [email protected] P.S... Will gladly pay copy costs, postage and expenses... no problem. Please respond privately.

    3. Thinking I could keep my same internet server was wishful thinking. Please note my new e mail address. Also, much to my dismay I have lost all the messages that may have been sent to me during the month of Aug. including today. So, if you would be so kind as to resend me any messages - it would be greatly appreciated. Can't believe how long it has taken me to get on line. What a chore. I had a blown modem and had to get another one, etc., etc., etc. It seems to never end. Hope to hear from you all soon. IT'S A WONDERFUL DAY IN THE VILLAGES DONA

Alison -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, August 23, 1998 9:25 AM Subject: OT - Ancestry Poem Another great anonymous poem about researching our roots - this one is really good. I found it on another list but had to share ... enjoy. CENSUS TAKER It was the first day of census, and all through the land; The pollster was ready ... a black book in hand. He mounted his horse for a long dusty ride; His book and some quills were tucked close by his side. A long winding ride down a road barely there; Toward the smell of fresh bread wafting, up through the air. The woman was tired, with lines on her face; And wisps of brown hair she tucked back into place. She gave him some water ... as they sat at the table; And she answered his questions ... the best she was able. He asked of her children... Yes, she had quite a few; The oldest was twenty, the youngest not two. She held up a toddler with cheeks round and red; his sister, she whispered, was napping in bed. She noted each person who lived there with pride; And she felt the faint stirrings of the wee one inside. He noted the sex, the color, the age... The marks from the quill soon filled up the page. At the number of children, she nodded her head; And saw her lips quiver for the three that were dead. The places of birth she "never forgot"; Was it Kansas? or Utah? or Oregon ... or not? They came from Scotland, of that she was clear; But she wasn't quite sure just how long they'd been here. They spoke of employment, of schooling and such; They could read some .and write some .. though really not much. When the questions were answered, his job there was done; So he mounted his horse and he rode toward the sun. We can almost imagine his voice loud and clear; "May God bless you all for another ten years." Now picture a time warp ... its' now you and me; As we search for the people on our family tree. We squint at the census and scroll down so slow; As we search for that entry from long, long ago. Could they only imagine on that long ago day; That the entries they made would effect us this way? If they knew, would they wonder at the yearning we feel; And the searching that makes them so increasingly real. We can hear if we listen the words they impart; Through their blood in our veins and their voice in our heart.

    1. Jefferson M HOLMES - His parents etc.
    2. Bobby D Bouchell
    3. Hello fellow HOLMES CHASERS, My Great-Great grandfather, Jefferson M HOLMES was 1830 in Thompkins County, New York, according to family legend and Kansas History. I have been unable to learn ANYTHING of his parents, siblings or ancesters. JM married Hannah Culey in Scio, Michigan in 1851. They moved Burlington, Iowa in 1856 and in 1872 to prairy land homestead south of what is now Galva, Kansas, (Mcpherson County)where he lived the rest of his life. They had six children. My great grandfather, Thomas Jefferson was the first of them, born 1853 in Scio, Mi. He also took up a homestead land near his father and married Martha Caldwell. Much later, he moved his family south to Kaw city/ Newkirk, Oklahoma and then to Wichita, where he died in 1926. They had eight children, including my grandmother, Clara May HOLMES.

    2. Car 60 Re: Holmes. I am researching Holmes trying to find info on my paternal grandmother. She was born Elsa Lavonne Williams in Chicago, Cook, IL between 1892 and November 1895. Mother was Alice Bertha Williams born IL, Oct.21, 1859. Father was a William ? Williams supposedly deceased late 1890s. Also Born in IL. Alice's parents were from Germany. Only thing known was Alices mothers name was maybe Christina. Could be William's mother . She was listed under Alice as living with her in 1900. She was 79 at the time. Have had no contact with this side of the family. Maternal Grandmother took my father as an infant to OR. He was told his mother had died shortly after he was born. He was born according to her -Clyde George Holmes Jr. in Chicago, Cook, IL on April 3, 1916. He died May 11, 1991. His Grandmother died in 1932 leaving him an orphan at 16. Dad's name was changed to Vincent Illago Williams before he was 4 years old. Listed on the 1920 census in OR as her adopted son. Was told that his father had married a Estella Forsythe and had a son named Elliot who was a police officer in Pennsylvania somewhere. Any help out there would sure be appreciated.
