Robert, This at first glance sounds like a neat idea but do you know this company and do you know what they are doing with YOUR DNA information? It can be sold to insurance companies, etc. I would get a whole lot more information on this company before I sent in my money. Also read their privacy statements to see what they say. That's if they really do a DNA test. If they don't they may make up results. All I am saying is investigate further. Ava

For those interested. Some surnames are getting involved in a DNA program for I think $99.00 for a 12 point test. At the following web site you can look up some of the surnames already tested. The test can give a positive link to a surname "line". I ordered a test kit as I know another Washington Co. Middleton has already been tested. This will give me I hope, a positive link to him, and we can really compare notes. http://www.familytreedna.com Robert Middleton

I tried it and got nothing. It is not your fault, it is the servers fault. From time to time the image is corrupt and they have to reload another copy. Just wait a few days or a week to recheck it again. I had the same problem for Rudolph Ratz for 1930. I had it one time and then their server lost the image and just last week it is back again.] Tom ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

Tom: There is a searcher for those Clinton Co. cemeteries already documented at http://www.rootsweb.com/~ilclint2/cemetery/index.htm The largest cemetery in the county, Carlyle City, where she lived in 1920, will go online in a month or so but I don't see Julia Gray/Boelling/Simon in there or in the St. Mary's Cemetery in Carlyle. Since she probably died between 1916 and 1950, she should be listed in http://www.sos.state.il.us/departments/archives/idphdeathindex.html .

Thanks to the individuals that looked up Charles Osterman for me. Unfortunately, that Charles Osterman (born in Sweden) lived in the Quad Cities area is not the right date/age (1860) I have for him. The one I'm looking for was born about 1878 and married my great aunt Minna Christine Louise Boelling (sister to Ardien Boelling, born 3 Dec 1876). I still have not found their marriage in Washington County (which would be before 1900 as she is not living at home with her father Ernst Boelling) nor to Minna's second marriage to Rudolph Ratz (which then relocated to St Louis area, as I find her with him on the 1920 and 1930 St Louis Census). He would have to be around Washington or Clinton County. Tom ________________________________________________________________ Sign Up for Juno Platinum Internet Access Today Only $9.95 per month!

My great-uncle Oscar C Gilbert (6 Feb 1899 - Dec 1967) died in Nashville, probably intestate. I know that some of his estate was distributed to his half-sisters, who I am researching. These sisters are the children of William Gilbert and his first wife, Catherine Barthel.

This web site below includes an index of surnames of people who immigrated from this region of Germany to Missouri, Illinois and other Midwestern states. Emsland refers to an area which is near The Netherlands on Germany's northeastern border. The web site shows a connection of these people to various areas in IL and MO, including St. Louis. I am interested in the DRENTE(N), FOECKE, FOCKES and TOEBBE surnames. Any connections out there?

Greetings All I my research I just came up with an early 1830's NELSON estate sale with surnames that some but not all might be interested in. Unfortunately I can't send it as an attachment, have to paste it below. Robert Middleton ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The following are some notes pertaining to the estate papers of Charles Nelson: 7 January 1833: Promissory note, Charles Nelson promises to pay Benjiman Blalocke $20 on or by the first day of March 1834 for value received. There was no indication of what it was for. 7 April 1834: 1. Benjamin C. Nelson sworn as Administrator of estate of Charles Nelson. 2. Benjamin C. Nelson, Turner Abernathy and Asa Morgan bonded for $600 to do an inventory of the property of Charles Nelson. Benj. C. Nelson named as administrator. 3. John Harryman, Charles Harryman and Hiram Tatman authorized by Washington Co. probate judge in Nashville Il. to appraise the property of Charles Nelson. 6 May 1834: 1. John Harryman, Charles Harryman and Hiram Tatman present appraisment bill of Charles Nelson's property as appraised by them 3 May 1834. The total came to $518. 2. Sale of estate of Charles Nelson by Dunning Baker, Crier and Robert Middleton, Clerk. Total of sale came to $441.96 3/4 23 March 1835: B.C. Nelson paid R. K. Fleming $1.75 for publishing notice, 4 weeks, for settlement of estate on the first Monday in June 1835 6 April 1835: Benjamin Nelson, Administrator of Estate of C. Nelson paid D. Baker $2, in full on his claim for calling the sale. 1 June 1835: Benjamin C. Nelson makes claim against estate of Charles Nelson for $20, balance of the price of horse and $5 for a two year old heifer. Re: assessment of estate done 5 May 1834 points of interest: There were 34 line items. Listed on the assessment of those line items the following have written behind them (Benajah's One black pided cow & calf $10 One red cow with white face $9 One black&white pided two year old steer $6 One bed $10 One saddle $8.50 The only significance I can attribute to this is that Benajah lived at home and the mentioned items were his property that had to be accounted for in the estate because they were part of the overall estate. This would seem to establish Benajah as a son of Charles Nelson. Listed on the assessment of those line items the following have written behind them, Widow's: One dark red cow with white face & calf $10 One loom with all the rigging $7.25 One bed, bedstead and clothing $19 One wheel & cotton cards $2 The following is a partial listing of names listed on the sale sheet that I feel may have some significance: James Nelson Benajah Nelson Wm. Middleton Sary Nelson (Sary is a best guess based on the handwriting this could be Benj. C.'s wife Sally (Middleton) Nelson) Reuben Middleton Desher or Dosha Nelson( name came up twice, again this is a best guess) Robt. Middleton Abernathy is listed several times, no first name or intials identifiable On an account presented by Benja. C. Nelson after the sale there is a note accounting for $118.91 1/3 as Widows Dower. This establishes that his widow survived him. My next chore will be to try and wade through the Benjamin Cox Nelson estate papers. jcs NOTE: This is not my work, it was sent to me. Robert Middleton

Could anyone please tell me where the Stone Church is located? Does it have another name? My family were members in the nineteenth century. Does this church still exist that I may write for records?
