Dear List Members, If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fullers Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to [email protected] not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the archived messages of this list or any other Rootsweb mailing list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily pick out the surnames you are looking for. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now, the hardest thing is, when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting from one of us. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents when they send their unhappiness to the entire list. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at [email protected] or in the evenings at [email protected] Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at [email protected] I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me. Kathleen Burnett List Mom [email protected]

Surnames: Stafford/Norwine/Davidson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Fm.2ADE/136.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: Thank you for your response to my Stafford/Norwine request. I've printed a copy for my daughter-in-law, Jennifer Woods. She's also working to complete our family history and may have more information. Do you know any Stafford who was a medical doctor, dentist, or veternarian around the Basehor area? He was my Mother's great Uncle. His sister was my Mother's Grandmother, Mary Ann Stafford Davidson. She had married Thomas Talbott Davidson. Her brother (the Dr.) married Thomas Talbott Davidson's sister. Dr. Stafford and his wife had a son. The son was about 3 or 4 when both couples had baby girls around the same time. Thomas and Mary Ann's little one died. The Dr.'s wife died. So Thomas and Mary Ann took little Belle Stafford (their niece) to raise. Then Thomas and Mary Ann had a son, my Grandfather, and later other sons and one daughter. Belle Stafford married Ervin Norwine. They moved to the Chicago, Illinois area. They were happily married for many years and had a large family. My mother knew them and their children, but it was her father and mother (The Davidson's) who kept in touch.Now my mother is 87. She would like to see the Norwine cousins and find out! the answer to what happened to her Great Uncle, Dr. Stafford, and his son Frank.

Am informed that a record on ancestry.com shows a William McGee and a George McKenna in 1859 at Town of Stranger, Leavenworth Co., KS. Does anyone recognize these names? In the family I am searching my William McGee has a son-in-law George McKenna. Most references have been Wisconsin & Illinois but these folks seemed to move around quite a bit. If someone has access to the 1860 census, I would appreciate knowing the details of any entries for these families. Thanks. Roger

Leavenworth. He was a California resident. And, had been in both the U.S.Army and U.S.Navy. So, I'm now wondering if he was at the prison.... Is there someone who could guide me in the proper way to locate information on him? Thank you, Jeanne
