Hi, Would anyone be able to tell me which library in Louisville I should write to for copies of obituaries, and how much they charge? I'd also like to find out what the city archives holdings are, and how much they would charge for a lookup/copies. Thanks for any help! Elizabeth M. Wrocklage

Matt, thanks. I do not think that is my George but will keep this eMail in case. Thanks for writing. Gary

There was a George E. Rogers who signed the marriage Bond on my Jonathan SCOTT and Elizabeth HARRISON. It was in Bullitt county KY in 1841. Don't know if he's a match or not.

He was born in Virginia but relocates to Louisville by 1850. He was a barber in the city and can be found in various city directories of the time. His family apparently attended St. Paul's Episcopal church as one of his daughters was baptised there in 1867. At the time of his death (1895), he was living at 809 13th Street in the city of Louisville. He is buried at Eastern Cemetary. He married Susan A. Burton. Census records are a bit confusing on his children's names but his will names sons Austin and "B" (Buddy?) and daughters Eva (married ? Romine); Georgia (married (1) ? Edwards and (2) Harris); and Ida May. Census records also show son George and daughters Ann and Sarah although they may have died prior to their father. Does anyone know anything about this family ?!? ==== KYJEFFER Mailing List ==== http://www.alhn.org and http://www.ahgp.org Go here for additional American History resources. ============================== Jumpstart your genealogy with OneWorldTree.

HI, I ALSO AM LOOKING FOR OBITS IN LOUISVILLE KY. FROM 1901..THE NAMES ARE GRIFFIN THEOBALD AND FRANCES THEOBALD..GRIFFIN DIEDNOVEMBER OF 1901 AND FRANCES IN FEBRUARY OF 1901...PLEASE SEE IF YOU CAN HELP ME...I'M LOOKING FOR THE OBITS AS WELL AS THE DEATH CERTIFICATES.. THANK YOU, ROSE ([email protected]

I may be wrong....however, I think Buechel Terrace is a subdivision located along Bardstown Rd. between Buechel and Fern Creek. I would guess it was built during the early to late 50's. Laura

I could probably find out the answer to this with some phone calls, but I do know Buechel Terrace has been there from at least the 1950's, possibly the 1940's. If I had to take a guess, I would say that it was originally farmland, probably belonging to the Fegenbush family. Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donald L.

There were other newspapers in competition with the Courier and the Journal, such as the Post (or Evening Post), among others. The Courier, Journal and later Courier-Journal are by far the worst newspapers I have seen in Louisville for obituaries and death notices during that time period, especially when looking for German speaking people.

Hey guys, I got this question tonight, "Do you know what Buechel Terrace used to be?" I didn't have an answer for the inquirer. Anybody know? Would appreciate any feedback. Donnie Metro Louisville-Jefferson County KyGenWeb

That would be me. To anyone who sent me a request, I haven't forgotten you, I swear. I still have all your names and requests. Circumstances all converged very suddenly to make it impossible for me to get down to the library for the longest time, and kept me insanely busy. Things are calmer now! If I don't go tomorrow, it'll be next weekend. And Gary, I'll add you to the list. And if anyone else has a Louisville obituary look up request, feel free to drop me an email. I'll see what I can find. Shannon [email protected] wrote: >Hi folks, I have lost the eMail address of the kind soul who volunteered to do lookups on obits in Louisville papers.

I'm reposting a search from some time ago. I'm looking for Nathaniel B. Rogers (sometimes called by initials "N. B."). He was born in Virginia but relocates to Louisville by 1850. He was a barber in the city and can be found in various city directories of the time. His family apparently attended St. Paul's Episcopal church as one of his daughters was baptised there in 1867.

Hi all, I'm new to the list and would like to find out if anyone is working on the WROCKLAGE family of Louisville and surrounding area. I have a lot of information on the family in OH, MI, NY/NJ, LA and Germany that I would like to share with anyone who is interested. I have not started researching the family in KY yet, so I have little information. Any help anyone can give me in getting started is greatly appreciated! Any Cousins out there? I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Elizabeth M. Wrocklage Waldwick, NJ

Debbie, Here is an article written May 04, 2004 and posted to: http://genealogy.about.com/b/a/083367.htm Ancestry's OneWorldTree - Facts & Misconceptions There's a lot of panic going on these days on various genealogy message boards and mailing lists regarding a new search service from Ancestry.com - OneWorldTree. Many are worried, upset and even disgusted that Ancestry plans to charge for access to GEDCOMs and family trees which were submitted by users to Ancestry World Tree or RootsWeb World Connect. After receiving numerous emails and seeing many panicked messages posted to genealogy mailing lists I spent some time this week looking into the issue. Misconception: Ancestry.com plans to start charging people to access GEDCOMS submitted by users to Ancestry World Tree or RootsWeb World Connect. Fact: The OneWorldTree service is a search service, not a database subscription. The $49.95 annual subscription fee ($39.95 upgrade from the U.S. Records Collection subscription) pays for access to an advanced search feature that matches data from the free family trees and that found in other Ancestry databases, including their subscription records, and presents it to the subscriber in a neatly stitched together package. It will let you view all the relatives of the person you have found in pedigree format and will provide links to the source records - family trees, census records, etc. These source records, however, will still be accessed in the way that they are now. You'll need a subscription to Ancestry to view any census or other records included in their subscription collections. And the family trees which are turned up by the OneWorldTree are still free to search, match and submit through the free Ancestry World Tree service using the same tools that have always been part of the program. What your subscription to OneWorldTree will be paying for is convenience, not records - it is supposed to help take the guesswork out of searching and matching. Misconception: I submitted my family tree to RootsWeb World Connect and was told that it would never be used for profit. Now it's being included in Ancestry's new OneWorldTree subscription service. Fact: Any GEDCOM file submitted through Ancestry World Tree (whether through Ancestry.com or MyFamily.com) or World Connect are eligible to be included in the One World Tree service. As of right now, OneWorldTree primarily includes information from Ancestry World Tree and says that they plan to add new information quickly, including the 1930 Census index and other databases available from Ancestry.com. My assumption would be that this will also include family trees submitted through RootsWeb's World Connect at some point. It is important to keep in mind here that all Ancestry World Tree submissions are included on RootsWeb.com's World Connect service and vice versa. They are all contained in a single <A HREF="http://genealogy.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.familytreemagazine.com/newsarchive/viewbydate.asp%3Fdate=10%252F11%252F2001">integrated database</A>. The only difference is in where they were initially submitted. If you do not want your GEDCOM files included in the One World Tree service you do have the option to remove your submissions, but this will also mean that they will also no longer be available to researchers to access from the Ancestry World Tree or World Connect databases. Hope this helps clear up the mystery.
