Does anyone have access to the 1870 Census or Cemetery Listings? I've lost track of this family after the 1860 Census when they were living in New Harmony. Supposedly they remained in New Harmony and may have had 4 children. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you G. Swoik IL

Family records indicate they came to Floyd Co, IN from England but also spent time in Posey Co before going on to So IL. Also, can anyone tell me, was there a Farmersville, IN at one time? If so, where? I checked the IN map and didn't see any such place...ghost town? I have a letter from the Church of Christ at Farmersville stating my g-grandmother, Julia Venable Knight was a member there. Julia's sisters married Haupt and Weissinger.

I have't lived in Evansville for almost 40 years and I was an east side kid t that, but it seems to me that the Johann Funeral Home was on First Avenue around Columbia or Virginia streets. It was on a corner in one of those BIG old homes built around 1890-1910. That's reaching way back. Cookie, in Florida

Hi--I recall years ago in Evansville there was a funeral home known as Johanns. (pronounced Joe-anns). I have no idea where it was located. If you write Willard Library in Evansville (they have a web site) they could probably tell you. Willard has an excellent genealogy floor and the people there are quite helpful. Good luck.

Alexandra BRIDGETON MEMORIAL PARK, Bridgeton, Missouri This burying ground at 4616 Long Road was made into a memorial park in 1962. In 1959 several lawsuits were filed against the City for allowing the cemetery to deteriorate. Individual stones had already been removed "through error and misunderstanding" but members of the Bridgeton Historical Commission were able to learn the names of some who were buried there and a large monument was erected in 1963 which bears this inscription, "We honor the people buried here. They were part of this nation's adventure and their vision lighted the path we follow today." At the dedication ceremonies, Mrs. Anna Wilson gave a talk about African-American veterans who are buried here. Records indicate that the cemetery was integrated from its beginning. It was in use as late as 1954 and at least 100 people are buried in the two acres.

Anyone researching Australia, especially emigrants in latter half of the 19th century, could do a lot worse than to e-mail your queries to: [email protected] They're sure a fine bunch of helpful " 'strines!" Cookie, in Florida

Hello, to you all!!! Wow! What a whirlwind I've been in this past week. I put out a request for suggestions on how to find a website in Australia, got several helpful replies, then posted a query on the Australian sites and, all in all, was just overwhelmed by the response. As short as I can put it, here's the story for those of you who might not have it all. As I knew it, my grgrgrandfather, John J. ALLDREDGE, left his pregnant wife and family in Posey County, Indiana, in 1849 or 1850, to join the California gold rush. He made a strike but someone knocked him in the head and stole his dust. He made his way to Australia when they struck gold down there and finally returned to Indiana the day after his faithful wife's funeral and met for the first time, the daughter with whom his wife was pregnant when he left - she was 43! He died in 1903. I got to thinking about his very long sojourn in southern climes and wondered if he could've had a family down there. That was the subject of my queries to Australia. Well, it seems that the family escutcheon has been besmirched by the "old whipper-snapper,"- several of the Aussies turned up a marriage of John James ALLDREDGE to Louise WARD in1876, in Victoria, Australia. No children were found and her death was recorded in 1894. I still have some avenues to pursue but I thought I owed you all a report on the results of your help and generosity. I'm wondering now if, just possibly, his American wife might have divorced him for being gone so long. (In the above: the "Sent to" are Aussies, the "Copy to" are Yanks. Thank you all so very much.
