William and Nannie had two children: Mary E. b. abt. 1879 and Thomas L. born abt. 1881. Any bit of data relating to William and Nannie would be immensely appreciated!!!!! Many thanks!

Who was your Joshua's children, I am looking for parents to my ggfather James Butler Marshall, he died young and was raised my his Aunt because his parents died.

Hello everyone, I recently re-joined the list. I don't know if there's anyone still on it who remembers me, but I was the first Marshall list manager. I haven't been actively searching for a while due to location, but we're now back in "civilization" and I hope to get back in gear. I'm still looking for my elusive great-grandfather's parents. Here's what we know: My great-grandfather was Adam MARSHALL (this name also looks like Aden or Hayden on some census records). He was b. 1822-23 somewhere in Tennessee. In 1840 he m. Rachel YARDLEY (b. Ohio), in Marion Co., IL. We have been unable to determine his parents, although there is a tantalizing record of a marriage in Rutherford Co, TN of a Pleasant Arnold to Synthea Barnes 7 May 1822, bond Thomas Arnold. It is in a book by Howard L. Arnold p 246, and some other mentions, but I have never been able to find a list of their children. As far as we know all of Pleasant and Rachel's children were b. in Marion Co., probably Patoka. They were: 1. Henry Henderson, b. 1842, Marion Co.; d. 1917, Seward Co., NE. Served for IL in the Civil War. He m. (1) Margaret HOWELL, (2) Nancy Ellen BARFIELD, and (3) Angeline HOUSER (Henry and Angeline were my grandparents). 2. Mary Ann (Matilda?), b. 1847-48, Marion Co., IL; m. 1)Emery G. MOORE; m. 2)Thomas POTTER 3. George, b. abt 1850, Marion Co., IL; d. bef. 1860, Marion Co., IL 4. Adrian (Adam) , b. abt 1853, Marion Co., IL 5. Jefferson, b. abt 1856, Marion Co., IL 6. Lucinda, b. abt 1858, Marion Co., IL; m. Noah BELCHER, 28 Feb 1874, Marion Co., IL Would like to contact any other descendents, or anyone who can help with Adam's parents. Thank you. Judy Arnold

Dear Al, My husband and I have been working on his family tree for years, but have been at a stand still for some time. We know his gg grandfather was Joshua Marshall from Will Co. Ill----that he died of dropsy during the Civil was on a boat off Vicksburg MS. His wife was Emily McFarland. We also believe he may have been born in Cincinnati Ohio.We know who his children were. We can't seem to get back further than Joshua. We would like to know who his parents and siblings were etc. Does any of this sound like it could connect to your gg grandfather Joshua? Would like to hear from you. Thanks.

My line comes down through John Marshall Abram Marshall Jesse Marshall Levi Marshall Jesse Wilson Marshall Walter Levi Marshall Margaret Ann Marshall Do you have any more info on Jacob Marshall Sr?? Paul Willis

I too am related to the Jacob Marshall died 1729? Wife ANN GRIFFITH, from Ireland were Quakers, brothers John & William, were wards of Simon Hadley , so married Simon's granddaughters, they were first cousins an each had large families so It has been a job following them out to Oregon. John's second daughter married a Jacob DOBBINS, ended up at Deep Creek Friends, near present day Yadkinville NC. Their youngest son Joshua was my GGGgnd father, settled in IN. then out to ILL... Which side of the bed you come on? I have followed them for 15+ years so learned a lot on them. Come back Please AL DOBBINS

I don't have any direct connection to your Marshall that I know of... It's interesting that my line goes back to a Jacob Marshall as well tho. Jacob Marshall died approximately 1729 in route to America from Ireland. His widow, Ann and two sons John and William survived the journey. This Jacob was the son of a Jacob Marshall. These were all Quakers who settled initially in PA. Later moved down through NC and TN. Doesn't sound like any possible connection. Good luck on your quest. Paul

This was posted to another list that I subscribe to. I thought that it was interesting and a bit of a pick me up since all we have been hearing about for the past while was the destruction of records. Finally someone wants to preserve records. Happy Reading Carol Gabriel List Admin French Genealogical Research Centre This appeared in The Montreal Gazette on March 19 2004 ********************************************* In search of roots $70-million project launched. Roman Catholic Church to open genealogical centre that will trace Quebec's family trees back to 1600s ALAN HUSTAK The Gazette Friday, March 19, 2004 Families throughout North America with Roman Catholic roots in Quebec should find it easier to trace their ancestry once the diocese of Quebec opens a $70-million historical archives and genealogical centre in Quebec City. The fundraising campaign to build the centre was initiated yesterday by Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the archbishop of Quebec, and Abdou Diouf, a former president of Senegal and now the secretary-general of the Francophonie, the international organization of French-speaking countries. The launch took place during a breakfast at Montreal city hall. Both men are honorary patrons of the foundation, established to consolidate 350 years of church records under one roof. With the closing of various churches in the diocese in recent years, many historic parochial and diocesan documents - including birth, marriage and death certificates - are stored in warehouses. Without proper care, they are in danger of disintegrating. The Quebec diocese has records that go back to 1658. That's when Pope Alexander VII and King Louis XIV of France named François Laval the first bishop of the colony of New France. At the time, the diocese included all of North America east of the Mississippi River. The diocese of Baltimore, for example, the first diocese in the new republic of the United States, was carved out of the Quebec diocese in 1789. Plans call for the archives to be housed in the Quebec Seminary building, in the heart of the provincial capital's Old Town. An estimated $20 million will be spent to renovate the buildings, another $20 million to catalogue and restore the collection and $30 million to finance the centre's operating costs for the next 60 years. The centre will be promoted as a tourist attraction, and will include a multimedia room that will feature a film about the history of the Quebec diocese. The fundraising committee hopes most of the money it needs will come from corporate sponsors, but will solicit some government funding. "The research centre will be a multifunctional place, open to university students, teachers and the public at large who want to conduct historical or genealogical searches," André Noreau, the foundation's founding president, said yesterday. "We also hope to put some of the archives online." Noreau said he hopes the centre will be operating by 2008, the 400th anniversary of the founding of Quebec City. Although Montreal was originally part of the Quebec diocese, its church records will remain in this city. Canon law requires each diocese to maintain its own parish information and historical records. According to church spokespeople, the proposed centre will be one of the most important archives in Canada because it is the prime source of information about the church in Canada from 1647 to 1826, when the diocese of Kingston, Ont., was established.

Hi everyone, I think that from time to time we all need a little distraction and humour in lives. Especially when we are researching our brick walls and we feel like all we are doing is running into the wall rather then climbing over it. I hope that everyone enjoys this genealogy joke. Carol Gabriel List Admin "The Thorsen's were proud of their family tradition. Their ancestors had come to America on the Restauration (the first ship bringing Norwegians to America). Their line had included Senators and Wall Street Wizards. Now they decided to compile a family history, a legacy for their children. They hired a fine author. Only one problem arose - how to handle that great-uncle who was executed in the electric chair. The author said that he could handle that chapter of history tactfully. The book appeared. It said that Great-Uncle Johannes occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution. He was attached to his position by the strongest of ties. His death came as a real shock."

Hi there, incase you don't know, and if your Marshall was buried in Ontario somewhere, the Ontario Rootsweb Mailing List started a new mailing list. It is for Ontario Cemeteries. It is a great list with a lot of activity. You can join at: [email protected] There are tons of people on the list that are doing look ups for anyone that asks, so you may be able to get a break from an sks on that list. Anyways, let me know how the new mailing list works out for you. Maybe I can help you out some more from there. I was born and raised in Ontario.

For those of you who are searching the naturalization records and are trying to find out where your ancestors are, this article may have some points for you to consider. Good Luck and Happy Hunting Carol Gabriel List Admin Naturalizations with an Insight to History - Juliana Smith This week I actually found some time to explore the New York Naturalization Petition Index at Ancestry.com. What started as a search for my ancestors evolved into an exploration of the times in which they lived and the political climate of mid-nineteenth-century New York. My first search was for some of my Tobin ancestors and while I'm not sure if I have my third-great-grandfather Thomas, I'm fairly certain that I have found his brother, Peter C. Tobin. As with many of the index cards, not all the fields were filled in, but along with the naturalization date, it contained Peter's address, 446 Water St., New York City, and gave one William B. Tobin with the same address as his witness. At this point the choirs of angels burst into song and I joined them in singing the Hallelujah Chorus--for it would appear I had found a new family member to research! My husband passed my office and discreetly shut the door. No need to scare the child, it's just that genealogy thing again. Included on the card is also the bundle and record number that is needed to request a copy of the petition from the National Archives in New York City. While the information on naturalization records from this period is typically scant, I will request them anyway in the hopes there are some surprises. With the few pieces of information on the card, I found additional clues. Besides finding the witness bearing the same surname and living at the same address, locating Peter at the time of his naturalization is a find. I need to start checking directories and censuses for William at that address and see if I can locate Peter in the process. Since one of the requirements for naturalization was residence in the U.S. for five years, in some cases, the date of naturalization (30 October 1846), also given on the card, can help in narrowing down dates of immigration. However, this was not always the case. (More on that later.) On to the Huggins Family After my little voyage through history, I was still hungry for more ancestors, so I began looking for another ancestor, William Huggins. A search for only the surname Huggins turned up fourteen hits, three of which included the given name William. On the first one I checked, dated 11 October 1849, I found a possible link. From a timeline I created for the Huggins family, I had estimated that they arrived some time during the early 1840s based on ages and places of birth found in the census. Again, details were scant, but the witness name, Michael Meehan, rang a bell. I had seen that name before and as I browsed through my binder, I found the list of sponsors for William's children's baptisms. The sponsor for his daughter, Anne Huggins in 1844, was listed as Michl. Mehan. Since there were not too many Huggins records, I went through the entire list looking for any clues that may connect one of the other families to mine and found a couple possibilities: Thomas Huggins, naturalized 11 October 1856, witness W. Huggins John Huggins, naturalized 23 October 1856, witness Michael Mehand That's where it hit me. There were a whole lot of October naturalizations. In fact, of the fourteen Huggins records, eight took place in October, as did the record for Peter Tobin. A quick look at newspapers for the year of each October record and I was able to determine that they all fell in election years, with three of them falling in 1856. Now for Some History... At this point I was obsessed. I remembered reading that the politicos sometimes "helped" immigrants through the naturalization process in courting their votes. In They Became Americans: Finding Naturalization Records and Ethnic Origins, I found the following: "Politicians were quick to recognize the collective voting strength of naturalized citizens. Political parties went to great lengths to court immigrants from the moment they arrived on American soil. In New York City, newcomers were met at the boat. A 'naturalization bureau' was set up to advise and assist aliens in filling out naturalization papers. 'It was common knowledge that many of these adopted citizens voted before they had fulfilled the federal residence requirement of five years.'...An 1845 congressional committee investigating naturalization frauds reported that 'in New York, New Orleans, and Philadelphia it was a common practice on the eve of elections for immigrants, many of them not yet qualified by residence, to be naturalized in droves at the instigation of the political machines.'" (p. 29) The footnotes for this paragraph cited another book that I have, Immigrant Life in New York City, 1825-1863. In it I read that "newly arrived immigrants who promised to vote for [Mayor Fernando] Wood were sent to the courts with orders reading: 'Please naturalize the bearer.'" I spent a little more time browsing through some of the books I've collected on New York immigrants and surfed the Web a bit for more information. There is a lot of interesting information available on this turbulent period of New York history. One website I found, Urbanography, 1857: A Year to Forget, delved deeper into Mayor Wood's term of office and problems with his police force, led by Superintendent George W. Matsell, who is the subject of today's Clipping of the Day. For those of you with access to the Historical Newspaper Collection, there is much more in the complete article and it gives an interesting look at the probe of his citizenship in 1856. This really brought everything home. In one evening, just in searching for two families, I found further connections to investigate, clues to locating ancestors and more information on them, and had an interesting look at the mid-nineteenth century political landscape that my ancestors not only witnessed, but in which they apparently were, wittingly or unwittingly, participants, and all from the comfort of home. Yes, life is good. Hit it, angels! Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah ... References Ancestry.com. "New York Petitions for Naturalization, 1792-1906." [database online].

Hello! I am new to the List. I am looking for information about my grandmother b. 13 June 1883 Ipswich (maybe Halesworth). I don't know much about her early family history. She was working as a manor servant when she met my grandfather, Herbert Cecil PORTER, during WWI. He was in England with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. He was born in Battersea in 1888 and had been sent to Canada as a BHC about 1902, and had family in Wallington, Surrey. They married in March of 1918 and returned to Canada in 1919. My mother arrived in the world the following November. The family joke was she was "made in England" but born in Canada. I can remember a few family stories but no names. Since my own 2 kids are grown up now I'd like to be able to tell them something about their ancestors. I have researched my father's Cornish background but never got around to my mother's family. I feel like my dog who's part English Springer and part Brittany Spaniel. I am a Marriage Commissioner (JP) for British Columbia and perform about 80 or more civil weddings each year. I married a woman of German Mennonite background and have 2 wonderful children. My daughter is off to Switzerland this month to look after a new cousin in Geneva while his mother goes back to work for the UN. My son is off to Finland next September to do his 3rd year of university on exchange. He wants to meet me in London over Christmas so that we can explore Britain together. That's about it. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who might know of my grandmother's family or who is connected to it. Thanks. R.H.

Do you mind giving me some documentation about the people earlier than Martin Marshall? I Have good documentation about Martin and his descendants, but his ancestors are not well documented. I have much of the same information that you do, but you have some things I have not seen before. I would like to document it as well as I can.
