Have you checked the marriages for these people? They could be aunts or uncles, or just friends and neighbors. People were much more likely to take an unrelated child into their home when trouble struck in those days, than they are today. Keith has a lot of information on the Gregory family and we can put you in touch with a lady in Burlington who has researched them extensively. Either one of them may have some answers for you.

Thanks, Bev, for posting this census info on Hiram Gregory. I appreciate it very much! It gives me an opportunity to ask if anyone on the list knows of a connection between the Bedwell family and the Gregory family. Delilah Bedwell age 7 was living in Hiram Gregory's home in the 1850 census. Why? Delilah was the daughter of John Bedwell who died in Louisa Co. in 1845 and Eliza Jane Harnett. Eliza Jane had married again in 1846 to Mark Knight, had two more children, and was widowed again by 1849. She was living in the home of William Blake along with her two children by Knight in the 1850 census, but her children by John Bedwell are living in three different homes - Lavina age 9 in her grandmother Rachel Bedwell's home, Delilah age 7 in Hiram Gregory's home and Rachel age 5 in George and Nancy (Blake) Smith's home. Anyone know of a connection between the Bedwells and the Blakes and the Gregorys?

I have just finished importing queries for two counties into CCHELPER and have a bit of a jaundiced view right now so bear with me. I thought it might be appropriate to provide a few tips on submitting queries to ANY county or Internet list. Sloppy queries can make a LOT of extra work for any editor that is preparing its final use on web pages. We know beginners don't always know these things so perhaps, a little guidance is in order. 1. Always capitalize in full, any surname in queries entered on forms to be used with CCHELPER or similar programs. i.e. JENNINGS, JEFFERIS, etc. This properly identifies them for the automatic programs. 2. Capitalize only the first letter of any proper names that are not a surname such as Louisa County, Wapello. (You would be surprised by how many people write an entire query in ALL capitals or ALL lower case that have to be manually converted to another format. Even worse is when they use no punctuation and run the whole query together in one long sentence and in lower case.) Typing a query in all caps may get someone's attention, all right, in my case, it causes me to grit my teeth as I convert most of it right back into lower case except for the Surnames. 3. NEVER enter anything other than a surname in the Surname blank of a form. It will cause your query to be rejected as it is unusable. (I just deleted one query that had "1870 ____, Iowa Census Microfilm" in the surname blank.) I did take the time to send an e-mail to the offender suggesting she/he use the mailing lists for this type of query. 4. Be clear and concise about the information you are seeking. 5. Be sure to add the Surnames and not a long list of Mary, John, Susan, Linda, Dana, etc. assuming the reader knows which surname you are referring to. 5. Avoid redundant comments such as: I have hit a brick wall on this name or I am stumped on this. (If I see the words "brick wall" one more time I am going to start screaming.) You obviously are stumped or you wouldn't be posting a query. I ALWAYS delete out these little personal comments. 6. Hit the submit button once and once only. It is not unusual to have 3 or 4 copies of the same query listed. Only one can be used. If this sounds a bit grumpy, remember that I was up until the wee hours this a.m. cleaning up some of this sloppiness. This is one of the main reasons I am encouraging you to post data on GenConnect, but keep in mind, on GenConnect, your exact entry remains unchanged as I won't be manually editing these. I don't want to scare you out of using it, but please do read your data over before you hit the submit or enter button. Have fun and humor a very tired and grumpety editor this morning. I still love you all and know that I am dependent on you to help keep the Louisa County Genealogical Society web site growing. Thank you to those who have sent me kind notes and to those who have contributed data. I do appreciate you, one and all. Norma Jennings

Does anyone have Margret Demirick correct email address ?? Researcher of FOWLER's in IN IA KS Sondra Peterson ms42son@aol.com

If any of you have entered queries recently on the old form, you may be happy to know that all queries up to August 30, 1999 have been imported into CCHELPER and converted to webpages Since I have now deliberately broken some of the links you will no longer be able to post to the old system, but the actual queries themselves are still available and are located in a section called Louisa County Databank where all of the older pages have been moved to off of the main page. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ialouisa/databank.htm Norma Jennings

Norma and List Members: I wholeheartedly agree with Norma in encouraging all of you to add your family information to the Louisa County GenConnect Boards or any county your family has connection to. It is a very simple process and soooo important when someone surfing into that county finds your information. One of the best "joys" in doing genealogy in the first place, is SHARING tidbits of information with each other in an effort to further our goals of filling those holes we are searching. You never know what information you put out there today, will benefit you tomorrow, or even the next day. Thank you Norma, Keith and Connie for all you do and have done for Louisa County, you're the best!

I will have to amend my previous statements re: entering births and marriages. for GenConnect. I have just discovered there is no script provided for births and marriages at this time. Only the ones that are already in use so that revision phase has now been completed. Perhaps in time we can develop our own form for these items but it will have to wait for now. If you find any broken links or errors on the revised pages, please let me know. http://www.rootsweb.com/~ialouisa http://www.rootsweb.com/~iahenry http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~jennings Norma

It is great seeing such activity on the mailing list and I am sure many of you are benefiting from it. However, I am somewhat concerned that this material is not being entered on the web pages for a permanent access record for people coming to the Louisa County Genealogical Society web pages for the first time. We do have a Louisa County GenConnect Board now and a search engine for searching the entire Louisa County website. This search engine DOES NOT search the mailing lists but only the data that is entered on the actual web pages via the links in the chart on the index page or directly from GenConnect on Rootsweb. Verna May has been busy adding her obituaries on the Obituary section of GenConnect but so far she seems to be the only one. The Query board is being used more now since I removed the access to the old form that was labor intensive to maintain. form. So far I have seen no Bible Records, Deeds, Wills or data of that sort entered. As time permits I will be adding more links for Births, Marriages etc, hopefully, in the next few days. I am pleading now for help in entering this type of material on line. If you don't understand the new system, please let me know and I will help you out on it. We can each put a little bit of data on for posterity and create an outstanding site. Norma Jennings Listowner & Webmaster of the Louisa County pages.
