Sorry all, Try this add. instead the other had a miss type.: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/9019/index.html Also family descendent files requires: Microsoft word or word pad to open. We are trying to convert from rft. files to text files. So everyone can view them. Should have that problem fixed by this week end. But everything else on the page is able to be accessed by all. Hope this helps Sherrie & Alvin Smith awsl@mcione.com

Please come see our new home page. We have 12 descendent files on there now with over 30 surnames in it. A lot of links to help in family research, pictures, and much much more that we add to daily! Our home page is at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/9019/Index.html warmest regards Sherrie & Alvin Smith awsl@mcione.com

I don't know for sure, but you may wish to check into the descendants of William Henry Harrison HUMPHREYS. My accounting of that family is far from complete. It may be that George is a son or grandson of him and his wife, Frances Ann LEE. Dave McDonald

Looking for descendants of George Washington Humphrey, also would like to get an obit for him and for Elmer. I found this on the SS CD.

I am looking for persons researching the ROWE family. My connection is with Adam Rowe, b. 1801 in Breckenridge Co., KY. Adam m. Catherine MILLER 6/8/1827 in Perry Co., Ind. and sometime after then moved to Davis Co., Ia. Children of Adam and Catherine ROWE were: Daniel C., William, Polly, Phillip, Bernetta, Delanio/Delvo, Elizabeth J., Catherine, Cynthia and Sally. Let's compare notes!

We have been having trouble here in Cumberland Co., TN with getting our e-mails. Haven't heard from any of these lists for quite some time. Do I need to re-subscribe? Would the listowners contact me if I need to re-subscribe. Thank you Wanda wstefanc@upper-cumberland.net

Howdy everyone, The Davis Co. GenWeb site now has a big list of cemeteries that are in Davis County. I recently made inquiry as to the location of the "Spence" cemetery, (which is not on the GNIS list) and have susequently found its location, and names of folks buried there. The location of the "Spence" cemetery is in the Northwest quarter of Section 5 of Lick Creek Twp., Davis Co., IA. Some of the names of folks buried there are: Brewer, Dyer, Foster, Minor, Filcher (or Pilcher), Rayburn, Ryun, Spence. There are apparently 3 or 4 graves with funeral home markers, but no names or dates which are readable. The information was copied by Mrs. Olin Laws of Bloomfield, IA. and I think comes from the Iowa State Gen. Soc. The big list of cemeteries does not have a list of its inhabitants. Perhaps that is a project everyone could contribute to, such as has and is being done in Grundy Co., MO and at other sites as well. Any ideas? Joe
