This email (what I'm replying to) discusses a family photo of the Pottorffs 100 year family reunion. I would be interested in finding if you've got any other information on the Pond/Lemar/Showers/Pottorff chain. They're also in my chain. William Pond and Fannie Lemar were my great grandparents as well. I would be very interested in obtaining a copy of the 100 year old photo if possible.

I am descended from Willliam Beaty, b. 1795, who migrated from Kentucky to Bartholomew Co. I have been told that his parents were Thomas Beaty and Sarah Turner. I also have in my database a brother of William, Thomas Beaty, who was married to Henrietta, but this Thomas is a son of Thomas Beaty and Sarah Turner. I have Darius listed as the son of Thomas and Sarah, rather than Thomas and Henrietta, but I may very well be mistaken. Can anyone straighten this out for me? Virginia Nuta

My great grandfather Lory Orville Barker bought his farm from Henry and Becky Fledderjohn in 1921.

A year ago we visited the memorial as visitors but came home with a mission in our hearts. As we gazed over the beautifully manicured acres and the 17,202 American graves, it was obvious only a few families had ever visited their graves. I stepped into the soft grass and focused my camera on one of the white crosses, a grave of an Ohio soldier. A strange calmness was in the air as I walked a few more steps and a cross of an Indiana soldier lay square in my path. The letters of the inscription on the marker was bolder than ever, here lay a soldier from my home state. At that moment a quiet brainstorm aroused my humble thoughts. I wondered if I could locate any of the families of these men. My stride became more defined and within a few moments I had located and photographed eight more graves. Since those gut-wrenching but touching moments we have energized our efforts in finding the families of these American men from Indiana. We have located well over 100 and have delivered the FREE photographs to them via email. Please visit our website and see the men we have honored and the families we have assisted in finding a more genuine closure of a horrible tragedy. http://fizkid.tripod.com/ Our success in finding the families was the result of journalists, amateur genealogists, historians, historical societies, librarians and lots of wonderful Hoosiers and those with Indiana ties across America. During our search we have also reached families from other states as well and have filled special requests for photos from the Manila American Cemetery. We presently have photographed only the graves of the Indiana soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen; however we have photographed all of the names that are engraved on the "Tablets of the Missing". We offer them free of charge to anyone who asks. We ask for your help in finding their families. We understand this is a genealogy board but we do not need immediate genealogy in that form, we need leads to find the families. Please become one of our special volunteers today and find the family of an Indiana serviceman from near your home. A list of the men from your Indiana county is available, free and all you must do is request it. Richard A.
