Hi Johnny and family, Yes, oh YES!!! I most definitely will leave a redirect page up so those visitors who already know about us, or those new surfers who find us throughout the Web through different sites (which I'll have to visit and notify of our changed URL). We want to make sure everyone who wants to, can find us. I'll be leaving the GeoCities site up until the final day of the changeover. After moving, storing our Christmas gifts, and checking every link at our home, I'll get us loaded back into all the search engines. I may need some help checking all the links. Will one or two of you help me so I can make sure they're all checked and working properly? *whew!* <g> I'll keep you all posted of the progress. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Back to work ... Colleen Johnny Johnson wrote: > > That is great! I'm placing a check in the mail this evening. Will you > leave the old site open to direct folks to the new site?

Hi family, During the discussion regarding our GeoCities woes, I very carefully weighed everyone's opinions and desires. We had a good discussion and it quickly became obvious, both on the table and privately, that the majority of the cousins wanted our own domain. Since many of you already told me you would help me support a domain, I went ahead and found us one. It's done. Effective today we have a new home. What's more ... IT'S ALL OURS!!! YIPPEE!!!! (clap clap clap jumpa jumpa jumpa) I spent every day of the last four days researching this domain business and finding a webhost. Yesterday I signed us up for a domain and our name. This morning I finalized the registration process. We are now unequivocally, undeniably, completely and totally ... howellresearch.com ...or, howellresearch.org ...or, howellresearch.net However, just like any new home, we have to wait for the "closing" ... namely, me to get us moved from GeoCities (hopefully, taking about 2 days). We can't use our domain name [the howellresearch] yet because it still has to be made official at the domain registry. I'm told it takes about 72 hours before that happens. However I *can* give you our new IP address (our address in numbers only) which you can click on right now and see our groundbreaking spot in cyberspace. (I warn you now there's nothing, but nothing to see yet except a few words from our host saying that area is ours. I'll create an announcement page later today.) http://64.177.27.166 Yep. That's us! lol Temporarily, just think of it as a post office box before you get your new, permanent address! <g> First off, since at GeoCities we were already being found under howell_research, I figured it would be easier for everyone to remember if we just stay with what we already had for a name (howell research). However, the powers-that-be in domain registration don't allow names with underscores [_], so we'll be howellresearch instead. It's just a matter of remembering to remove the underscore [_]. I'm considering changing us to "Howell Research Center" and making the Howell Research Room part of the Center. However, that won't happen for a while yet ... and may not happen at all unless I can come up with ideas for new areas ... a library, perhaps? ... a store to help support the domain? ... a classroom for our newbies new to research? ... Then again, now that I'm coming up with all these ideas ... hmmm Now, the business part: The cost: $200 = domain registration and set up (a one-time only fee) 10 = .net registration (I'll explain this below) 10 = .org registration (again, below) 10 = to get the .org "attached" to our .com domain.* 50 = 5 extra gigabytes of data transfer {space?}** --- $280 outlay for howellresearch.com/.net/.org * The .net was free. **Our webhost has assured me that if we exceed our data transfer allotment like what's been happening at GeoCities, we will NOT be locked out of our site, but will be billed $10 for each extra gigabyte of {space?} we use. That being the case, I got us signed up for an additional 5 gigs of data transfer to prevent my being billed. RE: The .net and .org extensions ~~ I registered for howellresearch.net and howellresearch.org so nobody else could use those names and cause us to lose traffic with surfers thinking to reach us and get someone else instead. Not only was I guiding surfers to us with .net and .org, but also any inline cousins! Anytime someone gets confused as to whether howellresearch is .com, .net or .org they'll still reach us. We won't be paying any monthly fees, just that one-time $200 outlay. However, we will have annual fees due next January: Annual fees will be: $70 = annual fee for the domain space 10 = annual fee for .net registration 10 = annual fee for .org registration -- $90 annually for howellresearch.com/.net/.org RE: Domain support ~~ please understand straight off ... NOBODY is REQUIRED to help support this effort. It is all voluntary and in no way will you be prevented from using the Research Room or any other site, page, etc. we may set up at Howell Research. There are cousins who have offered to help offset my expenses for our new home. However, if you would also like to contribute to this effort I will very humbly and gratefully accept any donations: Colleen Pustola P.O. Box 13154 Fort Carson, Colorado 80913 IF the donations exceed the $280 I have already paid out, I will roll those extra funds over to take care of our annual fees. I will NOT retain any of the funds for myself, but keep it all within the family to pay for our home. In the next couple days I'll begin transferring all the files out of GeoCities and into our domain. This will coincide with taking down our tree and storing all the new information away, but this part will take longer than the two days I mentioned earlier. NOTE: Cousins of the HOWELL-SURNAME-L, Since the HRR is not your regular homesite, this is more of an information message for you only. However, if you'd like to help support this alternate site, you are certainly invited to; your support would be most welcomed. I think that about covers everything. I hope this finds you all having a most THRILLING Thursday! :) For me, well ... E.R. is on tonite!!! :-D Colleen

Hi Colleen, Thank you for your welcoming message. Susan and James had many children but apart from 3 daughters all the others died as children or infants. The daughters were Annie, Minnie and Maria. I have got James' death certificate,of 16th November 1902, aged 44, but it has not helped with his birth, and as I have not yet found his parents, I am unable to find any siblings. I have had two birth certificates for James HOWELLs, but the father's were not cabinetmakers, but a brickmaker and a master hoopmaker. I do think that I may have found a cousin or two, as in the 1881 census,they were lodging with Ellen Cavil and her husband. Ellen was born in Wolverhampton, Staffordshire. I looked for any HOWELLs in Manchester who were also born in Wolverhampton and found William, a musician, who may have been Ellen's brother. I need to find out where James was in 1871 and 1861 before I can get any further. Many thanks for your suggestions, Best wishes from Linda in Cheshire. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Colleen Pustola" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, December 30, 2001 5:50 PM Subject: Re: [HOWELL] James HOWELL Stoke on Trent UK > Hi Linda, > > Welcome to genealogy and especially to the family!!!

I also am looking for Howell's in Alabama. Captain David William Wilson Howell, C.S.A. (1829-1928) Lauderdale County, Alabama. I believe that he probably was the son of Phillip Howell and Mary Wesson of Lauderdale County, Alabama. He was at Hardin County, Tennessee during the Civil War and later moved back to Florence, Lauderdale County, Alabama. He had at least one brother, Lee Howell that died in Evansville, Indiana and one sister named Caroline (Callie) Howell Sharp Wesson. If you think that there might be a connection, please let me know.

Margaret, the part you wrote where your Cherry family moved to ARK caught my eye. I have a John Cherry in N.W. ARK on a document for my GGF, Rev. Crowell L. Howell.It should have been in the 1890s or so. I remembered the name as my neighbor here is also John Cherry. If you think your family connects to NW ARk I will look thru my dusty old books and find it.

I have seen both sides of this dilemma and one fact, to me, out weighs the rest. Our family lines, census indexes, wills, marriage bonds, etc....needs to be out there and available to the public. And more space is needed! I too will sponsor for a month. I have many forefathers (and mothers) deserving of this honor...but in light of Sept. 9, will dedicated it to all generations who have fought so valiantly to preserve our home land. Jackie Howell

Dear Colleen, You did a FANTASTIC job of wrapping all the Christmas gifts. Thank you, thank, thank you! I am going to "lift" into my Howell folder, will I be able to save that way? Certainly hope so. Too much to digest in a short period of time. Hope you can keep in a safe place for future reference.
