My family tree is a few branches short! Help appreciated My ancestors must be in a witness protection program! Shake your family tree and watch the nuts fall! My hobby is genealogy, and I raise dust bunnies as pets. How can one ancestor cause so much TROUBLE?? I looked into my family tree and found out I was a sap.. I'm not stuck, I'm ancestrally challenged I'm searching for myself; Have you seen me ? If only people came with pull-down menus and on-line help... Isn't genealogy fun? The answer to one problems, leads to two more! It's 1998. Do you know where your-Great-G. Grandparents are? A family reunion is an effective form of birth control A family tree can wither if nobody tends it's roots A new cousin a day keeps the boredom away After 30 days, unclaimed ancestors will be adopted Am I the only person up my tree-seems like it Any family tree produces some lemons, nuts & a few bad apples Ever find an ancestor HANGING from the family tree? FLOOR: The place for storing your priceless genealogy records. Gene-Allergy-It's a contagious disease, but I love it Genealogists are time unravelers Genealogy is like Hide & Seek: They Hide & I Seek! Genealogy: Tracing yourself back to better people "Crazy" is a relative term in my family A miser is hard to live with, but makes a fine ancestor I want to find ALL of them! So far I only have a few thousand I Should have asked them BEFORE they died! I think my ancestors had several "Bad heir" days I'm always late. My ancestors arrived on the JUNEflower Only a Genealogist regards a step backwards, as progress Share your knowledge, it is a way to achieve immortality Heredity:Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools! It's a poor family that hath neither a Lady of the evening or a thief. Many a family tree needs trimming. Shh! Be very, very quiet.... I'm hunting forebears. Snobs talk as if they had begotten their own ancestors! That's strange: half my ancestors are WOMEN! I'm not sick, I've just got fading genes Genealogists live in the past lane Genealogists do it generation after generation.... Cousins marrying cousins: Very tangled roots! Cousins marrying cousins: A non-branching family tree Alright! Everybody out of the gene pool! Do I hear the rattle of Chains? Always willing to share my ignorance.... Documentation...The hardest part of genealogy For a reply, send a self-abused, stomped elephant to... Genealogy: Chasing your own tale! Genealogy-will I ever find time to mow the lawn again? That's the problem with the gene pool: NO Lifeguards I looked up my family tree...there were two dogs using it. I researched my family tree......apparently I don't exist!

I'm Judy Sackett Fabry, researching the SACKETT, RAMSBY, NEFF families who lived in Lagrange and Noble Counties at least as early as 1850. The SACKETTs and RAMSBYs lived in Eden Twp. I'm having trouble locating the NEFFs, though. Does anyone have any information about any of these families?
I am still looking for anyone doing research on the Moak (Mook, Moke, etc.) and Hagerty names in the LaGrange Co. Indiana and White Pigeon Michigan areas. Jan Skinner gumpysfarm@aol.com

Hello, I noticed the messages about a lack of traffic on this list. I just recently joined this list and thought I would post my LaGrange Co. surnames. I'll post more information later, but if anyone is researching these names I'm willing to share any information I have. Kathy
I don't have any of these names in my research, but just wanted to share the same concern Peg has. It appears this listing is new, so we might have to wait a while. I've posted a query last month, but this is the first "traffic" e-mail I've received. Hope more will subscribe.

Can anyone help with the following problem I have? Celia Smith Sanger, born 28 April 1815, Perry, Genesee Co., NY, married Charles Dolittle (date and place unknown, and I have no further info about him). The couple lived in LaGrange County, Indiana, because they are buried in Ontario. Date of death for both is unknown and neither do I know the name of the cemetery. Their children were: Alvin DeForrest, Rebecca P., Leander, and Rosa Ladd. I have no birthdates or any other info about them. Celia had a sister: Mercy Euphrasia Sanger, born 17 Sept 1824, Perry, NY. She never married and I do not know when she died, but she, too, is buried in Ontario. I'd like to get more info about this family and would appreciate any help. Also, would like to contact anyone researching Sanger families in northern Indiana and southern Michigan. I have info on several other Sangers who are buried in a cemetery near Middlebury, Indiana. Also have info about their parents and would be happy to share. Thank you! Karin Smith karinsm@efn.org
I am a board member of the newly created Gindlesperger Family History Association (please see the news release that follows). If you'd like more information about membership, please let me know. Julie Matthews Burnette -------------------------- News Release - For Immediate Release October 25, 1998 JAMESTOWN, PA - In anticipation of the 250th anniversary of the arrival in America of the family's immigrant ancestor, the Gindlesperger Family History Association, Inc. was incorporated in Pennsylvania on August 27, 1998. The Gindlesperger Family History Association, Inc. (GFHA) was established to encourage, coordinate, compile, and publish the results of research into the history, traditions, and lore of the family. A family reunion at one or more locations is being planned for late summer, 1999, in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the family in America. The immigrant ancestor, Ulrich Gindlesperger, arrived in Philadelphia aboard the Phoenix on September 15, 1749, from Rotterdam. He settled first in Bern Township, Berks County, PA. An Amish-Mennonite probably originally from Switzerland, Ulrich had four children: Catherine, Jacob, Albrecht, and a daughter whose first name is not yet known. Before he died in 1783, Ulrich, his children, and grandchildren migrated to Stoneycreek and Quemahoning Townships, Somerset County, PA. Some members of the next generations migrated to Ohio, Indiana, and Ontario, Canada. Ulrichs descendants migrated and lived in close association with other families bearing such early Amish-Mennonite surnames as Good, Hooley, Kauffman, Miller, Zuck, Yoder, and others. The Gindlesperger surname has been spelled in literally dozens of ways over the past 250 years, including Gindlesberger, Kindlesperger, Jinglespiker, and Inglesbrighter. If you have a surname even remotely close to Gindlesperger, youre likely to be a cousin, said Rev. Norman L. Gindlesperger, GFHA President. One of the most interesting things about the establishment of the Gindlesperger Family History Association is that the founding members met over the Internet. Although we are cousins, we have not yet met in person. This is one of the reasons we look forward to celebrating the familys 250th anniversary in Americathe reunion will give us a chance to meet each other and many other Gindlesperger cousins as well, said Rev. Gindlesperger. Drawing on the members Internet expertise, the GFHA will soon launch a comprehensive website that provides a large database of Gindlesperger genealogy. To date, weve found over 3,000 direct descendants of Ulrich Gindlesperger. One of our goals is to provide free access to this great research; we want other people to have as much fun exploring their ancestry as we do, Rev. Gindlesperger said. The incorporators and initial board members are: the Rev. Norman L. Gindlesperger, Baldwin, L.I., NY, President; James L. Gindlesperger, Johnstown, PA, Vice President; Julie Matthews Burnette, Germantown, MD, Secretary; G. James Gindlesberger, Alva, OK, Treasurer; and Virginia Gage Firks, Fort Wayne, IN. Additional information is available at the address below or from the above officers, respectively, at the following email addresses: normanlg@idt.com; jimgind@alvant.alva.ok.us; jg57@andrew.cmu.edu; and julie-mike@erols.com. The GFHA is inviting Charter Memberships at $15.00 per year for individuals and families until the time of celebration in 1999. Membership dues may be sent to G. James Gindlesperger, 815 12th Street, Alva, OK 73717.
Hi! I'm Deb Murray, Lagrange county coordinator for INGenWeb and the owner of this mailing list. I requested the mailing list a couple of weeks ago and then promptly forgot to subscribe myself so I apologize to those who have posted messages, I've missed them. I'd like to welcome those of you who have subscribed to the Lagrange County, Ind. mailing list. The purpose of this list is to get researchers for Lagrange County together so they can help each other in their family search. Please feel free to post your queries, questions, family information, etc. here. If you'd like to search old messages for this county (although for a while there won't be many, but hopefully they'll add up quickly) go to http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Put INLAGRAN-L under the list name and when the second screen comes up and asks for your query put in the family name or whatever you are searching for. Please let other Lagrange researchers know about the list and encourage them to subscribe. As the list grows you may want to repost your queries periodically so new subscribers can see them. I'm also hoping we'll be able to help each other answer questions about where to find Lagrange County information. If I can do anything to help any of you please don't hesitate to ask.
