Surnames: Tanner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SFB.2ACI/4743.1 Message Board Post: Hi Lisa, I am Audrey of Georgia. I am looking for a John Tanner. He is my grandfather. He is my mother's dad, but he left before she was old enough to know him. (after 1935) We know absolutely nothing about him. My mother was born in 1935 in Jackson County Ga. We have been told he has family in North Carolina. My mother has only one photo of him and it was supposedly taken in a prison yard in Atlanta Ga. His full name (as far as we know) is John Creed Tanner. I am sending an attachment of that photo. You're right, there are lots of John Tanner families. If your John Tanner was born in 1813 in Ga. Could it be that the John Tanner I'm looking for is a descendent? Good luck in your search. Audrey

My Hagan line goes back to County Tyrone, I believe to the townland of Clare, according to my DNA test.

Hello An unknown Starr married Eunice Fisher, daughter of Quakers Samuel and Margaret Dawes Fisher, 10th day 10th month 1799 in Baltimore, MD. Samuel Fisher was born in Bucks Co., Pa, son of Quakers John and Elizabeth Scarborough Fisher. Records of Samuel & Margaret Dawes Fisher and family can be found in the Baltimore & Gunpowder Monthly Meetings. I do not think that the unknown Starr was a Quaker at the time of the marriage, because she was disowned for marrying contrary to good order. Can anyone researching Starr families help me with this request. Thank you, Kate Ross northern Ontario __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

As mentioned the other day, this list has just migrated to "Mailman," the new mailing list system at RootsWeb. Most changes will be hardly noticeable to you as a subscriber and fairly subtle, but the most obvious one will be to those of you who were subscribed in BOTH list mode as well as digest mode. Mailman does not support both modes to the same subscription address, so you are now subscribed only in list mode. If you want to subscribe to digest as well, then you will have to subscribe yourself using an alternate e-mail address. Those of you in ONLY list or digest mode are still subscribed as you were under the old system. Also, there is a brand new list just started for the purpose of asking questions and learning about the new system if you are interested in joining. I am a subscriber as well, but be forwarned that as you might expect it is VERY busy right now, so keep that in mind if you subscribe. You can send the usual "subscribe" message to: list-update-l-request@rootsweb.com for list mode or list-update-d-request@rootsweb.com for digest mode If you have any questions about the new system, that is the best place to ask them. You can also ask me off list if you wish, and I will always respond if I can, but please understand that even though I was one of the BETA testers, I am also learning the new system myself. David E.

As many of you may already know, RootsWeb is in the transition phase of changing over to a brand new e-mail system called "Mailman," but what you did not know is that this list was supposed to make the migration to the new system today. We are now due to make the change tomorrow, with all 30,000 or so RW lists due to follow in stages over the next couple of weeks. From the standpoint of a subscriber, you will see little real difference in the mail because most of the procedures you are used to will be the same or very similar. As soon as the list has migrated to the new system, they will send me some information to forward to you that will include an online tutorial for you to use in learning what you need to know about the new system. I was one of the BETA testers for it so know a little about it, but rather than flood me with questions please give the tutorial a try first. If you write to me I will always try to respond, but please understand that I have a good number of lists that I am responsible for, so if you multiply that by several subscribers each then you can see why I say that I may or may not be able to respond to everyone. As mentioned above, we are scheduled now to make the change tomorrow sometime, so you will hear from me further as soon as it happens with some information to help you use the new system more effectively.
