Listmistress, will someone please explain the fuss over red pages. I, of course, receive nothing but black on white, and would appreciate a "once and for all" explanation of what the problem is and how to correct it, thus significantly reducing the amount of extraneous messages on the list. Thanks, Al Cloud. Albert H. Cloud 10939 Crooked Creek Circle Dallas, Texas 75229 acloud@airmail.net 214-368-1846

In a message dated 98-04-24 17:34:48 EDT, you write: << From: "Mary Guffey" <Maryg@mcn.net> >> Hi Mary: The book you mentioned is not commonly placed on inter-library loan. You might try the nearest LDS Family History Center. There you might find that they have it on microfilm which you may borrow for viewing on their reader for about 3 to 4 dollars for shipping. Tom King, Sr. P.S. If you are the person using the red background that your incoming message came with, you might like to know that it is very difficult to read. May I suggest a more contrasting color; just plain black and white, or black print on light yellow like this message. Tom.

Does anyone have any clues to the origins of James KING and Isabel PENNELL? They were married 28 Apr 1709 at Concord Friends Meeting, Chester co, PA, and later lived at Nottingham and at Little Britain in Lancaster co, PA. I would like to contact any descendants. Susan Murphy

Can anyone on this list tell me where I can get a copy of the book "The King Family in Flanders and America" by Dr. Robert King. I tried interlibrary loan here where I live with no luck. maryg@mcn.net

First, I want to thank all those who responded to my posting seeking to make connections with those seeking or having KING ancestors from Baltiomre, MD. I wish they had posted them all to the list or digest so others would see their connections there. However, I'll leave that to them and just say to all of you, thank you for the encouragement. Also, several appropriately suggested that I post what information or more detailed information I have on them, so I am doing so in hopes that it will make a connection with or for someone on the list. Here's all I now have or know on them: Descendants of Edwin W. "Ed" KING First Generation 1. Edwin W. "Ed" KING was born 1851. He died 1924 in Baltimore, , MD and was buried 1924 in Green Mount Cemetery, Baltimore, MD.

Infant WELLS was born Jan 1908. was buried 18 Jan 1908 in Green Mount, Baltimore, MD. Appendix A - Notes 1S. Olevia Lauretta BISHOP MARRIAGE: "Bishop, Olevia L., Miss m. King, Edwin W. on 1872-Oct-31 [1872-Nov-5:2B]" , O'Neill, Francis P., Index of Obituaries & Marriages in the [Baltimore] Sun, 1871 - 1875, Vol. 1, A-J, p.42. DEATH: 1928, since Green Mount records verify date of burial of 1 Oct 1928, Lot 11, N.E., permit # 51214: BIRTH: 1850 Maryland Census; Baltimore lists Olevia as age 1, daughter of Elias and Talitha Bishop.

Jim, My Kings are from MD, but I have yet to be able to locate the area. All I know is that George Harvey King settled in the Washington Co., Pa. area in the early 1820's and that he was born in Maryland. He married a Margaret McElroy and I don't know if it was in Maryland or Pa., or WVA. Family records state that they settled 1 mile north of Majorsville in Pa., but Majorsville is just over the border in West Virginia. I also believe George had a brother John, as he is included in the 1870 census with Georges son, James, family in Pa. Census shows John King born in Maryland. John was 67 at the time so he would have been born abt. 1802/1803, and George I'm assuming about the same time. Your very right about not much traffic on this list for MD-Kings, but maybe that means that there were very few of us? And hopefully that would make it easier for us to find our families.

Tom, I am on several mailing lists and they are all getting complaints on the red backgrounds-just in the last week or so. Maybe it is something aol is doing. Seems like most of them (if not all) are aol users.

Are there any of you on the list that have KING ancestors in MD? How many King-L and/or King-D subscribers are there??? I joined the list in hopes that the circulation was extensive enough that it might have some with ancestors in MD, naively perhaps not realizing that the King surname is so common as to reduce serious probabilities of connections with those who might have ancestors in Baltimore area of MD. After scanning the digest lists since June of 1997 without any success, my guess is that there is not a large enough following to justify the time I do have available for my family work, in hopes of discovering some new links.
