This is a message I got today about your Dunkers... -----Original Message----- From: Joe Bosserman <[email protected]> To: Carol <[email protected]> Date: Monday, March 29, 1999 3:56 PM Subject: Welcome To The Brethren Genealogy-History Network Hello, and welcome to the Brethren Network! This message is sent to all new subscribers of this network. The Brethren Genealogy Network is here for one and for all to share and enjoy. It was first created on 9th May 1996. As of now there are hundreds of persons receiving it. The term "Brethren" as used here alludes to all persons and places that now, or in the past, have any type of connection to the church groups known as: Church Of The Brethren; German Baptist; Tunkers; Dunkers; Grace Brethren; and other church groups that descend from the movement started by the Alexander Mack group during 1708 at Schwarzenau Germany. This conference is for the discussion of Brethren History and genealogy. Care should be taken not to over do discussions about such things as computer software, general research methods, etc. This is not to say that such things can not be mentioned, however in some cases it may be best if such topics be sent privately rather then to everyone on the Brethren Network. Try to keep in mind that some of the users have to pay by the minute for their on-line time. For them non-genealogy related messages are not always welcome. Feel free to post as many Brethren related queries as you wish. If you are not sure that they are Brethren related but think they may be, go ahead and enter them. Brethren Family and Church related histories are also welcome. So long as they are Brethren Genealogy or History related you are encouraged to ANSWER ON THIS LIST-SERVER rather than by private e-mail. That way persons with similar questions or knowledge may see your interest and join in. And please don't forget to update the SUBJECT HEADERS OF YOUR MESSAGES. Many people only scan these subject headers to see what holds their interest. The subject header is the statement in the header of your message that tells what the message is about. For example in this message it is "Welcome To The Brethren Genealogy Network." Although I am the group's moderator I hope to govern with a very loose hand, and will be open for suggestion at all times. Suggestions should be sent e-mail to: < [email protected] > and not directly to the list-server. If such suggestions seem to have merit they may be put into use. If for any reason I am not available to help with the daily operation of this Brethren Genealogy Group you should contact Ron McAdams who is the group's co-moderator. Ron's e-mail address is: [email protected] Most persons interested in genealogy are very helpful and caring people, however for that one out of several hundred that tries to "pick crow" the following is included: Quarreling, soap-boxing, foul language, flaming, etc will not be tolerated and will be reason, with or without warning, for a person being disconnected from the Brethren List Server. We also ask that if you use "carbon-copy" or "forwarded" messages to the Brethren Network do so with extreme moderation. Do not send attached files over the server. If you send attached files, send them to a person's private e-mail address, never to the list-server at the e-mail address <[email protected]> It is important that you take note that the Brethren List-Server is set up to automatically send all messages sent to it back to a return e-mail address of <[email protected]>. But sometimes that fails, particularly if you click the "Reply Button" on your screen. Watch the "SEND TO" and "REPLY TO" lines in the header of your outgoing message and be sure they read [email protected] If for one reason or another you want your message to go out to a private e-mail address, then change the "SEND TO" line in the header of your message before you send it. We are using the The RootsWeb list server and it is set up to automatically drop you from it's list if your messages start bouncing (can not get to you) for one reason or another. Examples include; you have not been picking up your e-mail so your mailbox is full and won't take anymore messages, or your internet provider has equipment failure, or any of several other reasons. If this happens it is not a reflection on you in anyway. It is just the way the RootsWeb server works. Just sign back on by sending a message to "[email protected]" and place nothing in the body of the message except one word: SUBSCRIBE We also call to your attention to a Brethren World Wide Web Page (WWW) at URL: http://www.cob-net.org/genhis.htm The page's administrator is Ron Gordon who can be reached at [email protected] Thanks for being with us and for reading this. ------ Joe Bosserman, Moderator Brethren Genealogy-History Network [email protected] >

I am hunting Jane Steward(t). She appears on the 1850 Jackson Co. census m. to Joseph Steward, with children Susan (b.1838), Robert and Joseph. After this, she disappears.

I don't have Jane's maiden name, other husbands, father of her children, parents. I do know she was b. Knox Co. KY, 1808. Help, please? Thanks so much.
