Hello List, I am seeking the parents and siblings of GEORGE W. BURNETT, born in Indiana, November 15, 1862. I have no idea the county. That was all I could find on census, death certificate, etc. On a tape, made when she was very old, his wife Mary, related this story told to her by GEORGE. George's mother was killed in an accident or died suddenly, when he was an infant. There were other children, don't know ages or how many. George was adopted by Shoemaker/Shumaker?Shoebaker??? He lived with them until the courthouse burned. It destroyed the adoption records. I don't know his age at the time this occurred. He was in Sumner County, Kansas on April 14, 1900. On that day he married Mary M. Bell. George said he couldn't have left if the records were still available for his adoption. Reason unknown. When he left Indiana, he took back his birth name BURNETT, and continued to use it until his death. This is a brick wall. I would really appreciate any help or advise you could provide. If you have any information, you may Email me at JANETSQUAW@aol.com Thank you in advance for your help. Respectfully yours, Jan

Looking for a family around Noblesville (or Boxleytown??) in Hamilton Co., John Wesley Reddington and wife Mary (possibly Mary Catherine or just Catherine), with some/all of the following children: Mary Alice (or just Alice) Ella Jesse Dora Myrtle Etta Jennie John Joseph Eugene Dora, Myrtle and Joseph Eugene *may* have been born after 1870. I believe this to be the second marriage for wife Mary C. so it's possible Mary Alice, Ella and Jesse could be listed as having the last name MACE. Mary Alice would be about 11, Ella about 14 and Jesse about 8. also, does anyone know if there is an IN marriage index for Hamilton Co on line? Thnx! melissa

Hi Listers, maybe you can advise me how best to pick this very ripe plum. A handwritten notation in the family records reads: William Roe was killed on the line of fire in the Arden, France, October 16, 1918. His body was brought home September 23, 1921. Services held at the home of Mrs. Nathan Chaney, Cicero, Indiana. (relative) I'm sure such an event was worthy of note. (goodly note I hope) How best to or who do I contact to have a chance of recovering such a newspaper account of this event? Thanks for listening. Looking forward to your comments.

Hi Carolyn in Oklahoma. I saw that you were researching Faussett (var sp) in Hamilton Co IN. I am researching Jacob & Lavinia (Clarkson) Faussett who married in 1831 and was in Hamilton Co by 1850. Do these names ring a bell? Lavina/Lavinia was a sister to my gr. gr grmor, Luamy (Clarkson) Jaques, who lived not far from them in the adjoining county of Boone. Hope the weather has improved in Oklahoma. Lousy weather here, but just very cold and more snow than we've seen in a "coon's age". Lou in Indiana -

As posted on another list with permission to repost, Twas the Night Before Christmas 'Twas the night before Christmas When all through the house Not a creature was stirring, Not even my spouse. The dining room table with clutter was spread With pedigree charts and letters which said... "Too bad about the data for which you wrote; Sank in a storm on an ill-fated boat." Stacks of old copies of wills and such Were proof that my work had become too much. Our children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads. And I at my table was ready to drop From work on my album with photos to crop. Christmas was here, and such was my lot That presents and goodies and toys I'd forgot. Had I not been busy with grandparents' wills, I'd not have forgotten to shop for suchthrills, While others bought gifts to bring Christmas cheers, I'd spent time researching those birth dates and years. While I was thus musing about my sad plight, A strange noise on the lawn gave me such a great fright Away to the window I flew in a flash, Tore open the drapes and yanked up the sash. When what with my wondering eyes should appear, But an overstuffed sleigh and with eight small reindeer. Up to the house top the reindeer they flew, With a sleigh full of toys and 'ol Santa Claus,too. And then in a twinkle, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of thirty-two hoofs, As I drew in my head, and bumped it on the sash, Down the cold chimney fell Santa--KER-RASH! Dear Santa had come from the roof in a wreck, And tracked soot on the carpet, (I could wring his short neck!) Spotting my face, good 'ol Santa could see I had no Christmas spirit you'd have to agree. He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work. And filled all the stockings, (I felt like a jerk). Here was Santa, who'd brought us such gladness and joy, When I'd been too busy for even one toy. He spied my research on the table all spread "A genealogist!" He cried! (My face was all red!) "Tonight I've met many like you," Santa grinned, As he pulled from his sack a large book he had penned. I gazed with amusement--the cover it read 'Genealogy Lines for Which You Have Plead.' "I know what it's like as a genealogy bug." He said as he gave me a great Santa hug. "While the elves make the sleighful of toys I now carry, I do some research in the North Pole Library! A special treat I am thus able to bring, To genealogy folk who can't find a thing." "Now off you go to your bed for a rest, I'll clean up the house from this genealogy mess." As I climbed up the stairs full of gladness and glee, I looked back at Santa who'd brought much to me. While settling in bed, I heard Santa's clear whistle, To his team which rose like the down of a thistle. And I heard his exclaim as he flew out of sight, "Family history is Fun! Merry Christmas and Goodnight!"
