My Mother's youngest sister, Edith, passed away this week in Clay City. She was a wonderful lady with many physical problems. I would be very appreciative if someone could scan her obit and send it to me. Many, many thanks. I am very sorry that I could not attend her funeral which was today.

Fellow Listers......just wanted everyone to know that it is impossible to know all the stuff that is on the net, but I think if you all will check the hyperlink below, you will find that there are a lot of scams showing up on the Internet and the 'Class Project' thing sounded like a worthwhile venture but alas, it seems to be one of those scams. It's just another way for some feeble minded individual(s) to mess everything up for everybody else. Anyway, check the link below and happy hunting to everyone!!!!!!!

I received a letter from a woman on one of the surname mailing list and she was upset that I posted this project. I extend my apologies to anyone that thought this had no business on a genealogy mailing lists. I am not the teacher of the class, I saw it posted on another list and I thought it might be a way of teaching children how broad the technology of computers really is and how they can almost sit in a room and become acquainted with the family search data. I am sorry if it was not appropriate. The correct email address is : >[email protected]< if anyone is still interested in replying to the class. I hope I have interrupted anyone's search.

Please contact me if you have a connection or any information regarding the following: Descendants of William Robertson Generation No. 1 1. WILLIAM1 ROBERTSON He married JULIA ANN PATTON November 25, 1850, daughter of HUGHES PATTON and DELILA SHEPHERD. She was born 1832, and died Bef. 1853. Children of WILLIAM ROBERTSON and JULIA PATTON are: i. MARGARET C.2 ROBERTSON. ii. SARAH FRANCIS ROBERTSON. I descend from Charles Patton who married Ann McCoy and lived in Clark Co., KY. Charles' son Hughes Patton married Delilah Shepherd in 1828 in Clark Co., KY, and their daughter Julia Ann Patton married William Robertson. I think that this William Robertson was married first to a Julie Ann McDowell on December 1, 1846, Estill Co., KY, as I found another marriage for Julie in l849.

Hi to all on the list, I am seeking the parents of George Harvey Owens who was born about 1849 in TN. George married Cynthia Ann Puckett born 1-29-1852 in Estill County, KY on 8-15-1871. George was shot to death sometime between 1875-1877. I don't know the circumstances of the shooting, but it may have occurred in Powell County, KY which is where my grandmother was born on 10-26-1872. Cynthia married Henry Allen in Estill County, KY on 12-18-1877. Thank you, Earl in FL

Please pray for this dear lady and that precious little boy. On Friday around 10:30 I received a visit from the Alabaster Police Department infforming me that my 30 year old daughter and my two grand children had been in a horrible car accident. It was a head on collision and my daughter and 10 year old granddaughter did not survive. My 8 year old grandson is in Children's Hospital in Birmingham, Ala. in intensive Care after a 4 hour surgery repairing broken femur bones in both legs. He has had pins and rods put in both legs and has been given blood but seems to be pulling through. He does not know yet that he has lost his Mother and sister. I will have the task of telling him that on Sunday. The doctors say he will not be able to walk for at least two months and will have to have extensive therapy. I am his nearest living relative and will be bringing him home with me to live. His father committed suicide last year. Also on Sunday, I will be going to Southern Heritage Funeral home in Pelham, Alabama to arrange the funeral for my lovely daughter and my precious granddaughter. Friends.....I need your help. Please send this email to everyone you know and ask that they pray for me and my family. I can't seem to find the strength I need to deal with this right now. I also have a 26 yr. old daughter and son-in-law who are with me right now, along with a multitude of friends and family but still request your prayers. Thank you so much.
