I have found in the archives recently put on line by the Kentucky Land Office a military warrant granting my ancestor 200 acres for 3 years service in the Virginia Continental Line. It is dated June 17, 1784. Previously I had seen in the Library of Virginia a voucher by an officer certifying this ancestor's service of three years, dated June 5, 1784. It was persumably part of his application for land, but there was no land warrant in the files. What if anything is indicated by the fact that the warrant is now held in the files of the state of Kentucky? Was the land ever granted to him or his son, or was the warrant simply moved with land files when Kentucky was made a state? His son did receive a grant of 200 acres "south of Green River" in 1799, followed by other land grants in 1807, but there is nothing in the existing grants to indicate that any of them are due to the Revolutionary War service of his father.

Looking for any descendants of Hugh and Jane Styles Hanna, of whom he died in 1823 in Christian Co., KY. I am a possible descendant of Hugh's sister, Hannah Hanna of Westmoreland Co., PA. Believe she died about 1800 in childbirth, but can't find any proof. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Merging or combining file with Family Tree Maker is covered in the section "Combining Files" in the FTM manual and in the "help" file on the tool bar at the tool of the program screen. The information in the help section is vertually the same as what's in the manual. I haven't done it myself as I think I would get too confused as to where I am on my tree! I do know that it is suggested that you back up each file before you begin in case you don't like the way things turn out so you can go back to the way they were. Good luck. Janet

I know I should reply individually but ..... Open FTM and one of your files you wish to merge. BACK IT UP!! Click in the following order: 1. File 2. Append/Merge File a dialog box opens Titled "OPEN FAMILY FILE" find the file you wish to merge with and click on the file name. another box pops up warning you to back up your files. 3. Click OK Follow the on screen instructions Thanks Billy D.

I am trying to break through one of the may dead ends in my efforts to discover all of the descendants of my immigrant g-g-grandparents. Like most of us, I lack the ability to visit every state vital records office personally so I am asking for your help. Could someone please check the state register for the death of George LAUSCHER? DOB Sept. 1885 in WI DOD After 1944 - place unknown George's parents were Hubert LAUSCHER and Mary Ann STOFFELS. George is not listed on the Social Security death index. He divorced his wife and left his home in MI about 1934 when his youngest son was 3. He is now 70 and never heard from or saw his father again. Since I am not a regular subscriber to all state lists, if you have any information that could help me discover George's death date and resting place, would you please e-mail me personally. In advance, thank you. Janet Mihelich

Hello, Can someone please tell me if there is a way to merge your family files if you have more than one ftw file? Thanks, Charlotte

Hi! I was doing some work on my civil war pages and came across this site: POW Documents- These are an assortment of primary documents on the Web - diaries, letters, orders, receipts, that deal with people's POW experiences during the Civil War. http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~south1/documents.htm I found some interesting letters to read. Just thought anyone looking for civil war info may find this interesting. Sheila Hincy [email protected] "I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past." Patrick Henry

I show a John CARTER and Nancy WILLIAMS, being married 12-17-1804 in Cumberland KY. Does anyone have any information on this marriage... Parents, etc... Dick Carter [email protected]

Need parentage of Nancy W McWilliams, who married George Nutterfield, 6-24-1803, in Shelby Co., Ky. I Have her Name as Nancy Steppe Williams from family papers of Son Goalson Nutterfield, and the record shows Nancy W.McWilliams. Which is right?(What does the W stand for?) Also, a Nancy McWilliams is shown marrying Andrew Black 4-2-1801, and a Robert Simonton 8-25-1802... Are these 2 different women, or are they all, one and the same. Also, need parentage for George Nutterfield. Dick Carter [email protected]
