The Poor School list for 1828 in Madison Co. GA, shows a Farenett McElroy as a sibling to John McElroy, both children of Fanny McElroy. Does anyone have any information on a Farenett? This is the first time I have run in to this name, don't even know if it is a male or female! Stephanie [email protected]

Diane, Sorry, I cannot help you at this time. Indeed, my family also came from Ireland/Scotland but it was with a John McElroy.

Becky I am really curious as to if this is the same James McElroy that I am researching. The one I have also married a Ruth . I have him born between 1798-1799 and dying March 1883 in Twinnsburg Ohio. I also through research found a document where he sold land in Westmorland County Ohio in 1832 to a Andrew Haslet in Farifield Twp. PA Sure sounds similair does it not? Please let me know we could swap what information we have on this man.

Let's try to get some discussion going that will be of assistance to all. There is a lot of information online. Let's limit each post to about 5-6 favorites and repeats of other's favorites are allowed. What are your favorite or most helpful online sources? Why? What do you look for in an online source? Is it free? Or what does it cost to join? I will start this with information of my own. My favorites change depending on the information for which I am seeking. However, these are mainstays. I go back to these again and again. I do belong to Ancestry, but these are free and I get far more information from them. Gradually, the free stuff here will bypass the paid services. 1. Favorite Genealogy Site: http://www.rootsweb.com RootsWeb is free and more than that, it has so very much information available. I could probably spend days exploring it - and still not find everything available that is applicable to my personal research. And when you add to that all the others that are researching your line that you can connect to and exchange information with, it is unexcelled. 2. The State and County Web Sites in which I am searching for information. Yours can be located through Cindi's list - which is listed below as item #6. 3. Favorite Search Engine for Genealogy: http://www.AltaVista.com Alta Vista allows the use of Boolean terms that lets you limit the search or expand the search or whatever. It's possibilities are almost limitless. I have used it since it was first opened to the public for use. 4. Next Favorite Genealogy Site: http://www.familysearch.org FamilySearch is the LDS online source for all of the material in their library that they have put online. It is a wonderful primary resource. With the advanced search, you can obtain the numbers of film you need to order at your local FHC. Great timesaving tool. 5. Favorite Map Site: http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html However, I have not been able to get into the Government Computer where it resides over the Holiday. As an alternate, you might try: http://fermi.jhuapl.edu/states/ It has, as an added feature, an 1895 map of all US areas that are a real bonus. 6. Cindi Howell's List: http://www.cyndislist.com/ How can anyone say they are involved with Genealogy and not be familiar with Cindi Howell's list? It has such wonderful resources listed and it has them separated into catagories. 7 Free Genealogy stuff: http://www.imagin.net/~tracers/freebies.htm Now let's hear from you! I could probably fill several pages, but my needs don't necessarily fit yours. We can all learn from others and I am looking forward to seeing what your genealogy favorites are. Good luck with your rsearch. Maryann Dixon Moseby Proud Rootsweb Sponsor M*c*E*l*r*o*y & W*a*k*e*f*i*e*l*d & A*r*n*o*l*d Listkeeper [email protected] for Surname lists

Normally, I discourage such as this and actually ask that it not be posted on my lists. However, we are all concerned with what is happening to our Cemeteries and the abysmal care (or rather lack of it) most of them are getting. That is to say nothing of those that are on private land and being bulldozed, etc. If you are interested in seeing the petition asking Congress to allocate money to care for our Cemeteries (and possibly signing it), the URL for the petition and signatures is here: <A HREF="http://www.petitiononline.com/sg0001/petition.html">National Cemetery Protection Act Petition</A> http://www.petitiononline.com/sg0001/petition.html Maryann Dixon Moseby Proud Rootsweb Sponsor M*c*E*l*r*o*y & W*a*k*e*f*i*e*l*d & A*r*n*o*l*d Listkeeper [email protected] for Surname lists

For those of you that use Genealogy forms in your research (and I do), one of the better sites on the internet to get them is here: http://www.1stopfreeshop.com/genealogy.htm <A HREF="http://www.1stopfreeshop.com/genealogy.htm">Free Online Tools for Your Genealogy Research</A> There are also some available from other sources, but this is a pretty comprehensive list.
