Sarah, Could you give a short synopsis of Joseph's family? Like his parents, birthdate, birthplace. I have Josephs in my family and was wondering if somehow he was connected. Michelle Hello, I read your email and have questions, if you don't mind. What time period did your Joseph James live? I have an Alice Ellen James b. 09 Aug 1840 and died 26 Mar. 1918 in Louisville, KY She married Milburn Hobson in Washington Co. IN and named her children: Wm. Edward, David Alonzo, Mary Gertrude, and George Thomas Hobson, poss. after the parent's or siblings of both sides of the family. Milburn was the surname of a Great Grandmother and follows down thru the family even today. As does Wm. and David which from the fathers and grandfathers. Not sure where the names of Edward and Alonzo and Gertrude came from? Does the name Mary, belong to one of the James' mother's ca 1840? And last but not least, Do you have a missing Alice Ellen? I have found this to be a unique way of researching since my Hobson family followed the European Naming Pattern. Penny A Hobson SnOOOpy839@aol.com

You wrote: Is there such a thing as a index to the 1840 KY census? If so, can someone tell me the counties they find Murrell listed? ****************************************************************************** ******* I checked on ancestry.com & Murrell was mostly in Barren Co.,Ky in 1840..Give me a 1st.name Another good way is two go to google.com & askjeeves.com and type in his/her name with some info.Sometimes it GOES to your direct ancestor that someone has already compiled on--Wilma

Is there such a thing as a index to the 1840 KY census? If so, can someone tell me the counties they find Murrell listed? It might be spelled Munel, or Murrel, Murril, Morrell, Murl, Meryl, Meril or even Murret. Thank you, Sincerely, Pat Mata pjmata@cox.net

Seeking any information on a John CARTER or any Carter, on 1820 or 1830 census Taylorsville Ky... Have a verbal statement by long dead relative that the family came from Taylorsville, Ky., but, no proof... Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

Does anyone have Volume 5 of Littells Laws for Kentucky... Need information in Volume 5, page 357, referring to John CARTER... Seems John Carter was arrested for Murder, escaped, and was recaptured.... Did they hang him, turn him loose, or pat him on the back, and say good boy...Thanks. Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

I am seeking any information on a John CARTER, mentioned in Volume 4, page 148, and Volume 5 page 357, in "Littell's Laws of Kentucky". This supposedly has to do with a Murder of a James Miller, committed by John CARTER....Any help would be greatly appreciated... Would like a faxed copy, or a synopsis of the information. Thanks, Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

? FTM 2005 recording church related data baptisms, confirmations etc. Go to the individual on the family page and then choose edit. From there choose Add Fact. This will give you a place to add TYPE, DATE & PLACE/DESCRIPTION. If you choose the arrow on the right of TYPE you can see there are many choices including baptisms, confirmations, religion etc. If the choice you would like is not in the list it allows you to add items to the list to be used on all individuals. Otherwise Notes is another option. Mary

The sun is shining every day, clouds never get in the way......Right and the earth is flat! I finally do have a bit of sunshine which meant the parade and ceremony honoring those who served in the armed forces wasn't soggy for a change. The sun is what made me think of vacation! Vacation, you know that thing where you get in/on a car, train, boat, motorcycle, RV or airplane and go away from where you normally reside for an extended period of time...the trip I'm leaving on Wednesday at the crack of dawn. When leaving on vacation stop the milk, mail, paper, etc. and PLEASE remember to unsubscribe from your Rootsweb mailing lists unless you will have daily access to your email. If you can't remember which lists you are subscribed to just go to: http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ and you can retrieve a list of mailing lists to which you are currently subscribed.

Any suggestions as to where one should record information on baptisms, confirmations and other church related data???? W

Midwestern Roots 2005: Family History and Genealogy Conference Indianapolis ­ Some of the nation¹s leading genealogy professionals will present at Midwestern Roots 2005: Family History and Genealogy Conference, August 18-20 in Indianapolis. Midwestern Roots, co-sponsored by the Indiana Historical Society and the Indiana Genealogical Society, will feature over 30 presentations covering topics ranging from finding female ancestors, census substitutes, family food traditions and German SS records to baptismal records, preserving family papers, genetics and more. Optional pre-conference activities on Thursday, August 18, range from tours of the William Henry Smith Memorial Library, the Indiana State Library and the Indiana State Archives to writing workshops on preparing family histories for publication, computer labs on genealogy resources available on the internet and a workshop designed for library staff and volunteers who answer questions from genealogy patrons. The Genealogy Division of the Indiana State Library and the Indiana History Center Smith Library also will stay open late for extended research hours. Other activities include a lively panel discussion bringing together genealogists and historians to answer the question, ³History and Genealogy: Why Not Both?² The evening will begin with a dessert reception at the Indiana History Center followed by a discussion with nationally-renowned historical genealogists Elizabeth Shown Mills and Curt B. Witcher, Indiana historian James H. Madison and migration historian Marianne S. Wokeck, who will explore how these fields can enrich each other, from uncovering the slightest detail of one life to seeing human history more clearly because of that life. On Friday, August 19, the conference will begin with the opening session by Mills. Mills will explain the standards and processes all researchers need to apply when using family history and genealogical sources. Friday will conclude with a banquet and Mills will give a presentation that encourages taking what is learned about ancestors and conveying it to descendants. On Saturday morning, Madison will begin the day by considering the various migration streams that settled the Midwest and show how their origins, timing and cultural features helped make the region a distinctive part of the nation. Other notable national speakers include genealogists John S. Humphrey, Diane Gagel, Elizabeth Kelley Kerstens, Tony Burroughs and Kandie Adkinson. The Indiana Historical Society and the Indiana Genealogical Society will offer six scholarships for individuals to attend the conference.

I am trying to trace family of my great-grandmother, Elizabeth Stewart, born about 1833, probably in Kentucky. She married my great-grandfather, Jacob M. Springer, January 31, 1850, in Spencer County, Kentucky. So, I am assuming that she was from that area as my great-grandfather was not. He was from Ohio and may have been working on the Mississippi River when he married Elizabeth. I would like to know who her parents were. Any leads, suggestions would be appreciated.

In Jeffersonville there is a condo complex on Seventh Street (700, 800, 900 block) that was once a bakery and later became a beverage distribution warehouse. Recently posted an inquiry and several responded wanting more information. Now the question? What was the name of the bakery and brand name of the bread? Could it had been BIG DANDY bread? Those who have the answer will not win a lottery but will have valuable historical information. W
