Here's a couple of small things that can be, or at least can look like, a roadblock. 1. PATIENCE. My first (and only encounter) with the National Archives was productive, but I had lost hope. I was looking for any information about my GGgrandfather (see below). I got the form for making Civil War inquiries, filled it out, sent it in with my credit card number, and waited a LONG time, like 3 months. I never got a charge for the records search, and I never got a response, so I figured nothing found, and I was the loser. Then, one day, here comes the envelope, from the National Archives, with the discharge form for my guy, giving his place of birth (see below), and a physical description. I was overwhelmed. We finally knew where he was born (but we still don't know why). I had given up on the Archives, felt like I had been ignored by them, and didn't know how to follow up. My lack of patience put me into a foul mood, which was made better when they finally came through. 2. FINDING WHAT TURNS OUT TO BE THE WRONG GUY. With the Archives information (above), showing that my George Washington Howell was born in Maury County, TN in 1828, I (and others) started looking, and we found his family, and parents, and in-laws, etc., etc. (so we thought). HOWEVER, after about 2-3 weeks of looking and tracking and recording people in my database, I (and the others) realized that there were TWO George Washington Howells in Maury County, TN, at the same time. We had been recording the wrong one. Our excitement over finding ANY tracks got in the way of logical, methodical research. My guy shows up in Perry County, AL in 1850, and stays there. The OTHER guy stayed in Maury County, TN. When we started finding dates for him in TN after 1850, we knew something was wrong. Then, I had to undo some work. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT GUY (if you can), especially if it's George Washington Howell in the first half of the 19th century. That seems to have been a popular name for our family.

Hi, Colleen. Thank you for asking. Reason Howell has been eagerly sought for many years. He was b.~1817 somewhere in Ohio (census records) without parents, apparently. He owned land in Shelby Co, Ohio prior to 1850 when he may have been listed as a family member of Daniel Howell (1850 Shelby census: Meason--but a Mason Howell also existed in Ohio!) along with wife Mary and son William. Reason and Mary moved to LaPorte County, Indiana in time for the 1860 census, where most of their children were born. By 1870 census, Mary was alone with the children in Newton Co., Ind. where both she and her daughter Mary married Heistand gentlemen, no indication of which Mary married which gentleman. William also married a Heistand lady. All 3 of these marriages took place in a matter of a few months in the early seventies. Reason, meanwhile, is missing from the census records, but a Reason Howell in Porter Co., Ind married a widow, Charlotte Decker Glaspey in 1872. Though we have located some of Charlotte's descendants, nothing more is known of them, but we think it! likely this is the same Reason Howell since the age would have been about right for Charlotte to marry him. Reason Howell was married 09 Aug 1846 Shelby Co, Oh to Mary Elizabeth Helmick, d/o Samuel I. Helmick and Anna Minnis. They had the following children (1860 LaPorte Co Ind and 1870-1880 Newton Co. Ind censuses): Anna Marier Howell b.~1847 m. David Dexter, l. Morocco, Newton, Ind. William Howell b 1854? Ohio, m. a Heistand? (Is he the one living in Newton Co? Other Howells there also!) Mary E. Howell b. 1857 m. a Heistand, had dau. Mary J. George Washington Howell m. Ella Manvers Rowen d/o James Biard Rowen and Mary Catherine DeCamp Nancy Genetta b. 1862, disappears after 1880 census John H. Howell, a grandson, b. 1862 Margarett Howell b. 1843 listed as dau in law, dead in 1870 (a little old, surely to have been William's wife, but if not his, then whose?) Since Mary Helmick was about 16 years older than Margarett, it is not likely Margarett was married to one of her children. A George Howell was married to a Margaret Carter 25 Sept 1840 in Allen Co, Ohio. Could these Margarets be the same person? Reason is rumored to have had sibs: George, John, Mary, and/or William. Is this true? Also, we have a mystery man. A George Howell m. Mary (Margaret?) Furness in Morocco, Ind in Oct 1866. We have been able to locate nothing of this couple either. Could he have been a brother of Reason? My cousins and I (they are descended from Anna Marier Howell Dexter, I am descended from George Washington Howell) would be grateful for any information. We have not been able to locate any other descendants of Reason Howell and Mary Helmick, to say nothing of Reason's antecedents. We would welcome any ideas, fellow searchers, or anything! In 30 years searching, we have only a complete list of the children, the marriage date, and the subsequent marriages, which were a real surprise! What happened to the other children? Did they get on? Do they have descendants? Does anyone know who Reason's parents were? We share what little we know, and a great deal that we don't! Thank you so much.

Hi family, With the end of summer vacations, we all begin coming back into our homes to begin the "hibernation" into next year. It's a good time to take advantage of this returning together. We have many newbies and novices among us now ~ those new (or rather new) to genealogy, I mean. This being September and the traditional return of children to school, let's follow that focus and teach our own. Your challenge is to post a road-block problem you are having or once had with your research. Then, tell us how you solved or are currently resolving it. In this way, we'll teach our newbies and novices while at the same time, pass along research ideas to each other. What better a challenge for this month could there be? :) Colleen

Thanks, Weldon, I don't find a direct connection to your lines but will save your information, just in case. I am, after all, "half" SHELTON, and just a generation farther back, HOWELL also. Do you know the origin of your SHELTON line? My line has been traced to Roderick SHELTON I who came down from PA to NC: Shelton Laurel in Madison Co., NC. Many Sheltons in the Southeast came originally from Shelton Laurel. (Probably you've read about "The Shelton Laurel Massacre"? You can "google" it.) My great-grandmother, Mary HOWELL, was born in Erwin TN. She was a daughter of Joseph HOWELL (I think. My records are packed to move.) Her mother was Hannah Caroline GIBBS Howell. I imagine if we go back far enough, we would find a connection, especially in the SHELTON line. All the best in your search. Anne Haines ----- Original Message ----- From: "Weldon W.

Hi Wilma, According to the Descendants of Edward Howell (1584-1655) of Westbury Manor, Marsh Gibbon, Buckinghamshire, [England], and Southampton, Long Island, New York (second edition) by Dr David Faris, pages 151 - 152: Eunice Howell (daughter of Jeremiah and Hannah [Sanford] Howell) married Daniel Haines, son of Deacon James and Martha [Topping] Haines. Eunice and Daniel had seven children: Betsey Emma Polly Sylvanus Asa Lemuel Hannah Lemuel was born in 1767 and married Mary Howell. To my knowledge there is no further record of these children published by Dr. Faris. This family is on the Edward Howell Family Association web site, located at http://www.ehfa.org.

Hello cousins, Newbie here. :-) Looking for one particular Howell. Lyda is my great grandmother. As the subject line says, she was born around 1882 in Kentucky. She is reputed to be from Louisville, Kentucky, but I have no confirmation of that. Her spouse is Thomas Brown Thompson b Abt. 1878 in Cleator Moor, Cumberland, England. They lived in Chicago, Illinois. Lyda apparently had at least two sisters. Both Florence and May (mae?) reportedly lived in the Chicago area (Maywood or Berwyn). Both were professionals of some kind (accountants, perhaps), and I'm told they were "maiden ladies" living together. Does anyone have any information about this family? Help is much appreciated!

Hi Lew, Did anyone answer you ??? If you have Windows, you will have a "Character Map"... It is in: Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Character Map... You can click on a symbol to enlarge it (so you can see it) AND it will give the "code" to make that letter...f'rinstance, Alt+0131... you hold down the Alt key and type those numbers and when you release the alt key, that letter will appear... It is not complicated... I just don't explain very good... email me if you want...
