In a bit of serendipity, without knowledge of the other group's existence, both groups selected October as their preferred month. I had the pleasure this week of connecting the two groups together, and they are now hoping to combine forces. However, they need more help. The full article is available at: http://www.ancestry.com/library/view/columns/eastman/3999.asp The "grass roots" effort received more help this week from Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah. Senator Hatch has drafted a resolution to make October the official Family History Month. The resolution is called the "Family History Resolution." However, even with support from a powerful politician such as Senator Hatch, this effort still needs your help. You need to contact your senator to tell him or her that you support this resolution. As of a few days ago, Senator Hatch had not yet formally introduced the resolution on the Senate floor. Instead, he wrote to all the other senators, asking for their support when the resolution is introduced. Here is the letter Senator Hatch sent to his colleagues: United States Senate Washington, DC 20510-4402 July 10, 2001 Dear Colleague: It is with great enthusiasm that I write to ask you to cosponsor my resolution that will dedicate the Month of October of each year as "Family History Month." Within the last month some 14,167,329 people researched their family history and 24 million people have used the Web and email to locate or hunt for family or friends with whom they had lost touch. Researching ancestry is a very important component to self identity. It can lead to long-sought-after family reunions or life saving stories like that of Nancy Andjelich Margraff. Nancy's story, found in the book, "In Search of Our Ancestors," by Megan Smolenyak, helps to illustrate the need for public attention to the important subject of family history. Nancy started showing signs of an illness that afflicted her father, who died suddenly at the age of 39. At the time her mother was told that her father had a rare illness that caused a cerebral hemorrhage that killed him. After Nancy learned she had this deadly illness, she began corresponding with the Minister of Health in Zagreb, Croatia. He kindly accepted and distributed informational packets that Nancy put together regarding the diagnosis and treatment of her illness. She disseminated the informational packets to her extended family members, many of whom are alive today because they were identified through family history research that lead to the early diagnosis and treatment of their affliction. At present there are some 2,500 genealogical societies in the United States that represent approximately a million people who belong to these groups. One such group, The Federation of Genealogical Societies, represents around 560 genealogical societies and ultimately at least half a million individuals. There is no doubt that the study of family history is growing in popularity and is an important tool in researching ethnic identity and genetic health concerns. I urge you to join me in supporting the millions of American men and women who have researched their family history by co- sponsoring the "Family History Resolution." For more information on this resolution or to add your name as cosponsor, please contact Chris Campbell in my office at (202)224-4412. Sincerely, Orrin G. Hatch United States Senator Senator Hatch also included the text of the resolution that he plans to introduce: 107th Congress, 1st Session. S. Res. _____ IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES Mr. Hatch submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on __________________ RESOLUTION Designating the month of October each year as "Family History Month." Whereas it is the family, striving for a future of opportunity and hope, that reflects our Nation's belief in community, stability, and love; Whereas the family remains an institution of promise, reliance, and encouragement; Whereas we look to the family as an unwavering symbol of constancy that will help us discover a future of prosperity, promise, and potential; Whereas within our Nation's libraries and archives lie the treasured records that detail the history of our Nation, our States, our communities, and our citizens; Whereas individuals from across our Nation and across the world have embarked on a genealogical journey by discovering who their ancestors were and how various forces shaped their past; Whereas an ever-growing number in our Nation and in other nations are collecting, preserving, and sharing genealogies, personal documents, and memorabilia that detail the life and times of families around the world; Whereas 54,000,000 individuals belong to a family where someone in the family has used the Internet to research their family history; Whereas individuals from across our Nation and across the world continue to research their family heritage and its impact upon the history of our Nation and the world; Whereas approximately 60 percent of Americans have expressed an interest in tracing their family history; Whereas the study of family history gives individuals a sense of their heritage and a sense of responsibility in carrying out a legacy that their ancestors began; Whereas as individuals learn about their ancestors who worked so hard and sacrificed so much, their commitment to honor their ancestors memory by doing good is increased; Whereas interest in our personal family history transcends all cultural and religious affiliations; Whereas to encourage family history research, education, and the sharing of knowledge is to renew the commitment to the concept of family and home; and Whereas the involvement of National, State, and local officials in promoting genealogy and in facilitating access to family history records in archives and libraries are important factors in the successful perception of nationwide camaraderie, support, and participation: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Senate --- (1) designates the month of October each year as "Family History Month"; and (2) requests that the President issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate ceremonies and activities. This is a perfect opportunity for you and me and every other person interested in family history to get this resolution passed. Contact your senator now! Ask your senator to support Senator Hatch's "Family History Resolution." This resolution will pass only if we make our voices heard! It is easy to contact your senator since all of the senators have e-mail in their offices. To find the name of your senator and his or her e-mail address, go to: http://www.senate.gov/contacting/index_by_state.cfm I sent an e-mail to the two senators from my state this morning. I asked them to support Senator Orrin Hatch's "Family History Resolution." I enclosed a copy of that resolution. When will you contact your senators?

I am somewhat new at this so perhaps I am adding too many details for this NG <grin>. I am looking for any information on my Grandfather and/or his family. Bernard Robert Holmes was born Jan 11, 1906 in Olean, New York to Robert Mertan Holmes and Anna Beatrice ( Curra ). He had a brother possibly Robert Bernard Holmes. He married Olive Marie Hauser. In 1928 He and my grandmother were living in Denver Colorado when my Father (Raymond Arthur Holmes) was born. A year or two later, a daughter was born, Betty (Beatrice?). In 1937 he was in was in Toledo Ohio (possibly with his brother’s family). He shortly moved to Fallon Nevada and died there in Oct 1969. I am the only serving family member that I am aware of. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Chris Holmes Chrisholmes21@home.com <mailto:Chrisholmes21@home.com>

I am looking for information about Jacob Holms. He died in Westmoreland co. PA in 1815. His will was written in German and in the translation of that will the name is spelled Holms and Holems. His children used the name Holmes. His son, Daniel Holmes, moved to Wayne Co. Ohio. Also looking for information regarding Daniel's wife Nancy ?. Jacob Holms married Cathrine Schneider abt 1755 in MD. Anyone else researching this family? Any information would be helpful.

It's something of a stretch, but there was an Israel HOLMES b. 1781 who lived in the Town of Hamilton... and the closest village was Hubbardsville, named after one of the members of the Hubbard family that lived around there. Even if Harriett was from Canada and spelled her name Hubbert, there could be a connection. I have a little more info on Israel and some of his relatives including his HOLMES ancestors. Wish I could say the same for me; as far as I know Israel was not one of my relatives. - Rich Holmes

Becky, I bet anything these Holmes that lived in Illinois could be related to my Holmes. My Charles Tarbell Holmes was born in MA but went to Winnebago CO Illinois, Death place was Rockford Illinois. His dad was Ira Holmes, but don't have any info on him. Charles was born in 1841. He was married in 1867 in Illinois to Mary Josephine Packard, she was from Winnebago CO, Illinois...Cherry Valley to be exact. She also died in Rockford. I have no photos of CHarles, only one of Mary. Charles was my grandfather Bert Stimax's biological father, being adopted out at little over a year old. I will have to look up in my info, a couple siblings names that I have for my grandad Bert. I am going to start seeking information on Charles, and see if I can find anything on him. I just started this line, so guess it will take awhile. But I bet there will be a connection here, possibly! Anything I find out, I will surely let you know. Okay, just found a paper...states children of Charles: Addie born 1866, Rose A, b 1870, Charles William, b 1872, Ira E b 1875, Clara D b 1877, and Frank R born 1879. Then my grandad Bert, born 1886. Supposedly though, they had 10 children. Also, Charles had a sister named Abigail, age 13 in the 1850 census of Pepperell MA. So that is what I have, who knows maybe I will find something you need. Sharon R White

Just found this on another list. Haven't checked it personally, but it is said to contain a great deal of data. http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/marriage.html

I am seeking the descendants of Frank and Jennie (Dove) Holmes who were married in Winnebago County, Illinois, 24 Nov 1881. I believe he was a son of Israel Holmes and Harriett (Hubbert) Holmes who moved to Butler County, Iowa. Israel had been born in New York in 1831, according to any census record about him and lived in Illinois from about 1850 to about 1885. He died in Butler County in 1914. Harriett was born in Canada and died in Butler County, Iowa in 1901. Descendants of ANY of their nine children, please contact me. Thanks Becky Mathews Nix -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
