I received this from another mailing list: Most of you have heard about the LDS (Morman) Site is now up. It's at "http://www.familysearch.org/". I was able to get in on the test site and downloaded quite a bit. The files included the IGI and Ancestral Files reference. When you do a search it give you all variations in Surname spelling. I downloaded all the info on the test site for Albert, Andrew, Benjamin, Daniel, James, John, Jonathan, Lowis, Robert, Thomas, Walter, William. It's nearly impossible to get on during busy times, which is most of the time now, at least for a while. For the moment I am preparing a listing condensed to a table which I plan to post on the List. Yours, Bill Caddell

Hi. Shirley Smith sent this to me and I thought I'd share. Interesting history as well as interesting to folks who have Perkins and Lyons connections. John A Lyons was s/o Ivan PERKINS and Ernestine LYONS. Hope you enjoy. Jan >From October 30, 1906 Lake Charles Daily American: FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT SULPHUR CAUSES MATTHEW PERKINS' DEATH Derrick Toppled Over, Breaking the Steam and Hot Water Pipes - Boy Lived Several Hours Matthew Ivan Perkins, the sixteen year old son of ex Sheriff John A. Perkins, met with a horrible death as a result of an accident at the sulphur mines yesterday afternoon about four o'clock, being thrown from the top of a derrick by the force of an exploded steam pipe to the platform about eighteen feet below and scalded by escaping steam and hot water from the bursted pipes. Young Perkins had only been at the sulphur mines a short time, and one of his duties was to shut off the steam at the derricks. He climbed up to the valve for this purpose, and just then a cave in occurred beneath another derrick a short distance away, causing that derrick to fall against the one on which Perkins was working. The force of the shock caused the steam pipe he was working on to burst, the shock of a piece of the pipe knocking him off the derrick to the platform below, a distance of some eighteen feet. Almost immediately afterward the derrick on which Perkins lay also toppled over. As soon as it was discovered that an accident had happened the plant was stopped as quickly as possible, and every effort made to aid the unfortunate youth. Owing to the cloud of steam surrounding the place nothing could be done until the plant was stopped. Perkins was found on the platform where he had fallen, still conscious. He was removed and taken to the hospital where his wounds were attended to. He was found to be injured on the forehead as if from a blow there, and his face, arms and upper portion of his body badly scalded. He died ___ about three hours after the accident. W(ilfred??), Wilbert (?) Perkins, a brother, went to Sulphur shortly after the accident, having been sent a telegram informing him of the occurrence, and this morning brought the body to Lake Charles, where it was taken to the Perkins home on Division Street. The funeral services will be held at the residence this afternoon at 4 o'clock, and interment made at Orange Grove Cemetery. The services will be conducted by Rev. H. H. Sheff. END OF ARTICLE My grandmother always told me that "Matthew Perkins was a very religious young man and knew he was going to die, and said "I'm going to glory." I grew up knowing what Matthew's last words were! This is an agonizing account...can you imagine a 16 yr. old having that kind of job today? Shirley

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --part0_920787189_boundary Content-ID: <0_920787189@inet_out.mail.aol.com.1> Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN THIS: << The following is paraphrased from the National Genealogical Society's "American Genealogy: A Basic Course": In-Laws: terms like father-in-law, mother-in-law, etc. had the same meaning as they do today, which is a kinship by marriage. However, they may also have had different meanings. Father-in-law could refer to a step-father, son-in- law to a stepchild, etc. Cousin: The term "cousin" was once used generally to indicate almost ANY DEGREE OF RELATIONSHIP BY BLOOD OR MARRIAGE OUTSIDE THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY. VERY EARLY IN AMERICAN HISTORY THE TERM WAS USED TO REFER TO NEPHEW OR NIECE. When you see the word cousin used in early records, you will need to do more research to clarify the relationship between the two people. Nephew: The terms nephew and neice were not in common use in the colonies until before the mid-eighteenth century (i.e. 1750's). The term cousin was used to denote this relationship. In rare instances, the term "nephew" was used to mean grandson or granddaughter because the word comes from the Latin term for "grandson" or "nepos." During this early period, "nephew" was used for males and females. Brother: This term was used very generally and in addition to its obvious meaning, could denote a brother-in-law, a husband of a sister-in-law, a half- brother, a stepbrother, or even a colleague within the church. "My now wife." This term is sometimes found in a will and may, as is often assumed, indicate the testator had a former wife, but this is not necessarily so unless he is referring to children by a first wife and children by his current or "now" wife. When the term is used WITHOUT reference to children, it more usually means the testator intends the bequest for his current wife and not any subsequent he may have. Senior and Junior: Terms to denote two men with the same in the same community, regardless of any relationship. This could be father and son, Uncle and nephew, or two men not related at all. Upon the death of the "Senior" the junior could be dropped or if another, younger person had the same name, Junior became Senior, etc. Natural Son or Natural Daughter: indicates a blood relationship as distinguished from a relationship by marriage or adoption. Sometimes it could denote and illegetimate child, though it was more common to refer to such as "my base son" or "my bastard son". In some instances, "my natural child" may indicate children by a first wife as opposed to children by a current wife. Aliases: This term could mean one of several things. An orphan may have used his stepfather's surname in addition to his own. A married man may have taken the surname of his wealthy father-in-law. One son in a family may have taken his mother's maiden name, especially when inheriting property from her family. One branch of the family may have used an alias to distinguish it from other branches in the area where the name was common. A person may have used an alias to distinguish himself from several uncles and cousins with the same name. This problem was not unusual in large families before the use of middle names adopted. In some cases, an alias indicated illegitmacy. Because of all the possible reasons for the use of an alias, do not assume the reason until you have done further research. Given Names: Although you cannot count on it, it was common for the two eldest sons to be named for their grandfathers and two eldest daughters to be named for their grandmothers.

However, they may also have had different meanings. Father-in-law could refer to a step-father, son-in- law to a stepchild, etc. Cousin: The term "cousin" was once used generally to indicate almost ANY DEGREE OF RELATIONSHIP BY BLOOD OR MARRIAGE OUTSIDE THE IMMEDIATE FAMILY. VERY EARLY IN AMERICAN HISTORY THE TERM WAS USED TO REFER TO NEPHEW OR NIECE. When you see the word cousin used in early records, you will need to do more research to clarify the relationship between the two people. Nephew: The terms nephew and neice were not in common use in the colonies until before the mid-eighteenth century (i.e. 1750's). The term cousin was used to denote this relationship. In rare instances, the term "nephew" was used to mean grandson or granddaughter because the word comes from the Latin term for "grandson" or "nepos." During this early period, "nephew" was used for males and females. Brother: This term was used very generally and in addition to its obvious meaning, could denote a brother-in-law, a husband of a sister- in-law, a half-brother, a stepbrother, or even a colleague within the church. "My now wife." This term is sometimes found in a will and may, as is often assumed, indicate the testator had a former wife, but this is not necessarily so unless he is referring to children by a first wife and children by his current or "now" wife. When the term is used WITHOUT reference to children, it more usually means the testator intends the bequest for his current wife and not any subsequent he may have. Senior and Junior: Terms to denote two men with the same in the same community, regardless of any relationship. This could be father and son, Uncle and nephew, or two men not related at all. Upon the death of the "Senior" the junior could be dropped or if another, younger person had the same name, Junior became Senior, etc. Natural Son or Natural Daughter: indicates a blood relationship as distinguished from a relationship by marriage or adoption. Sometimes it could denote and illegetimate child, though it was more common to refer to such as "my base son" or "my bastard son". In some instances, "my natural child" may indicate children by a first wife as opposed to children by a current wife. Aliases: This term could mean one of several things. An orphan may have used his stepfather's surname in addition to his own. A married man may have taken the surname of his wealthy father-in-law. One son in a family may have taken his mother's maiden name, especially when inheriting property from her family. One branch of the family may have used an alias to distinguish it from other branches in the area where the name was common. A person may have used an alias to distinguish himself from several uncles and cousins with the same name. This problem was not unusual in large families before the use of middle names adopted. In some cases, an alias indicated illegitmacy. Because of all the possible reasons for the use of an alias, do not assume the reason until you have done further research. Given Names: Although you cannot count on it, it was common for the two eldest sons to be named for their grandfathers and two eldest daughters to be named for their grandmothers. Don't be confused by finding two children with the same given name in the same family. The name of a deceased child may have been given to a subsequent child. IN GERMAN ANCESTRY it was common for ALL sons to have the first name Johann and all duaghters to have the first name Anna or Maria. The children were known by their second names. >> --part1_920787189_boundary Content-ID: <0_920787189@inet_out.mail.ghg.net.4> Content-type: message/rfc822 Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit Content-disposition: inline Return-Path: <Southern-Trails-L-request@rootsweb.com> Received: from rly-zc03.mx.aol.com (rly-zc03.mail.aol.com [172.31.33.3]) by air-zc05.mail.aol.com (v56.26) with SMTP; Sat, 06 Mar 1999 15:33:01 -0500 Received: from bl-30.rootsweb.com (bl-30.rootsweb.com [207.113.245.30]) by rly-zc03.mx.aol.com (8.8.8/8.8.5/AOL-4.0.0) with ESMTP id PAA07184; Sat, 6 Mar 1999 15:32:49 -0500 (EST) Received: (from slist@localhost) by bl-30.rootsweb.com (8.8.5/8.8.5) id MAA25279; Sat, 6 Mar 1999 12:29:25 -0800 (PST) Resent-Date: Sat, 6 Mar 1999 12:29:25 -0800 (PST) Message-ID: <36E18FC9.E2E3C143@ghg.net> Date: Sat, 06 Mar 1999 14:27:53 -0600 From: Sue <morgana@ghg.net> Reply-To: morgana@ghg.net X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 [en] (Win95; I) X-Accept-Language: en Old-To: Southern Trails <Southern-Trails-L@rootsweb.com> Subject: [Fwd: [BOWLING-L] This came from another list mailing] Resent-Message-ID: <"U6S7t.A.xKG.jAZ42"@bl-30.rootsweb.com> Resent-From: Southern-Trails-L@rootsweb.com X-Mailing-List: <Southern-Trails-L@rootsweb.com> archive/latest/1643 X-Loop: Southern-Trails-L@rootsweb.com To: Southern-Trails-L@rootsweb.com Precedence: list Errors-To: Southern-Trails-L-request@rootsweb.com Resent-Sender: Southern-Trails-L-request@rootsweb.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit This is a great reference file...there's stuff here I didn't know...and you might not, either...

Bryant, Thank you for taking the time to research Ryanville. Yes, I am familiar with Pam Rietsch's excellent site at: http://www.livgenmi.com/1895 and also with Ray Sterner's maps of the same 1895 Color Landform Atlas (Rand McNally) at: http://fermi.jhuapl.edu/states/states.html (Ray is a coworker at JHU/APL! http://www.jhuapl.edu He has produced a CD-ROM of his maps, and sells it for a nominal fee just to cover costs.) Pam's site has the benefit of an excellent index of towns and a choice of downloading either the state map (very large download for most people) or the individual counties/parishes. My guess is that Ryanville was a transient sawmill town/camp, somewhere near Edgewood -- which is on the map you referenced. It obviously did not have a Post Office or a train station! I have also looked in the US Geological Survey's Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) database, but it's not there either. This question has been on my "back burner" for a while now, and I guess that's where it will stay for now!

Walt You probably have checked this out, but I looked at an 1895 Atlas map of Louisiana and could not find Ryanville. Here is the URL in case I missed it. It is an interesting map. Ryanville may have been a very small community not "worthy" of being listed on the maps of the time. You can get an index to towns and cities from the home page. Good Luck Bryant Walker ------------------------ <A HREF="http://www.livgenmi.com/la1895mp">Louisiana 1895 Map Addendum</A>

Dear Judy, Here's a question for a Ryan descendent. :} A relative of mine was born in 1889 in Ryanville, LA. Later, this family lived in Edgewood and DeQuincy. Where exactly was/is Ryanville? A location relative to a current town or road intersection -- or even latitude/longitude -- would really be helpful. Do you know any Ryanville history? When/why/by whom was it founded? Was Ryanville a sawmill town -- maybe near a mill owned by the Ryan family? What happened to the town, etc? Thanks for your kind offer to help. Walt Rockville, Maryland
