Hi there, In rereading my post to you I see I forgot to include the Noltes I found in the 1880 census in Cumberland, Allegany, MD...sorry! Our electricity went out twice yesterday afternoon..lots of storms moving across Ohio...so I kept losing whatever I hadn't saved! Here they are: --------------------------------------------------- Census Place Cumberland Central, Allegany, Maryland Louis NOLTE Self M Male W 24 MD Printer GER GER Ella NOLTE Wife M Female W 18 MD Keeping House MD W.V. --------------------------------------------------- Census Place Cumberland, Allegany, Maryland John NOLTE Self M Male W 48 GER Shoemaker GER GER Amelia NOLTE Wife M Female W 49 GER Keeping House GER GER Harman NOLTE Son S Male W 20 MD Laborer GER GER Fredric R. NOLTE Son S Male W 18 MD Laborer GER GER --------------------------------------------------- (All the other Noltes that I found in Maryland (about 40 of them) were in Baltimore, Maryland) There were a lot more in West Virginia. . BTW, the reason that Conrad Nolte (who had married Margaret Eyerman back in 1858 in Cumberland) did not appear in the 1880 census for Allegany Co. MD is simple: he and his family had moved on by then...to WV. I found them in: --------------------------------------------------- Census Place Berkeley Springs, Morgan, West Virginia Conrad NOLTE Self M Male W 49 GER Shoemaker GER GER Margaret NOLTE Wife M Female W 45 GER Housekeeper GER GER George W. NOLTE Son S Male W 18 VA Shoemaker GER GER Margaretta NOLTE Dau S Female W 12 VA GER GER Annie NOLTE Dau S Female W 7 VA GER GER --------------------------------------------------- (Note that the three children are listed as born in VA rather than MD) It is interesting to note that 48 year old John Nolte (of Cumberland) and 49 year old Conrad Nolte (late of Cumberland), both German born, are both shoemakers as well. Since such "skill" professions were often family trades, it would seem very likely that John & Conrad were either brothers or closely related. Hmmm? ~~~ Bye for now, Kathleen

Walt, So glad you are still with us. Lois Hetrick Stewart

To my friends and relatives-- I just want to reassure my friends and relatives on the MDGARRET List that I remain among the living. I regret the concern and confusion caused by the death of another Walter Warnick. I appreciate the kind words offered by a number of folks on this List. This was all caused by a fluke coincidence. It is a rare occasion that I go more than a day or so without reading the MDGARRET List. Such a rare occasion occurred this past week, when my wife Anne and I were away visiting our daughter in Little Rock, Ankansas. When I am out of town, I do not access my home e-mail. As fate would have it, this is precisely the time when the news broke about another Walter Warnick having passed away. While I do not access my home e-mail remotely, I do access my work e-mail. List member Shelly Johnson tracked down my work e-mail address and sent me a message. Thanks to Shelly's initiative, the confusion about the two Walter Warnicks was cleared up sooner than it would have otherwise. The Walter Warnick who passed away was descended from western Maryland Warnicks. His full name was Charles Walter Warnick, but he went by his middle name. Years ago, I interviewed him for my Warnick book. He was born 4/17/1916 near Greenwood, Delaware. At Harrington, Delaware, on 3/15/1942, he married Mary Hazel Pearson who was born 12/17/1921 at Harrington, Delaware. Walter was very interested in his Warnick ancestors. As noted on this List, he recently died of West Nile virus. He was son of Charles Warnick who was born 12/23/1883 near New Germany. At Cumberland on 5/29/1907, Charles married Magdalena "Maggie" Wisseman who was born 10/30/1878, near Accident, MD. Maggie's parents were Conrad Wisseman and Barbara Bender. Maggie was Mennonite. Sometime in the 1910s, a number of western Maryland Mennonite families relocated to the vicinity of Greenwood, Delaware, and Maggie and her children were among them. Charles died 12/8/1916 at a hospital in Baltimore. He is buried at Springs, PA. Maggie lived most of her life at Greenwood, Delaware, near a number of other Mennonite families related to her. Walt Warnick PS for Connie: Anne and I now have two plots in the Bittinger Cemetery near the plots of my parents, maternal grandparents and great-grandparents.

Edward Rodruck Lee, whose death is noted below, was born September 6, 1862, son of George Smith Lee and Julia Ann (Harvey). Edward was single. I have lots of information about his ancestors and siblings.

Jon Marie, Thank you so much for your help. I was able to use the information you provided to sort my Benjamins out. Wendy --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.535 / Virus Database: 330 - Release Date: 11/1/03

I just can't resist jumping in here. One thing, after visiting the Friend s Library in Friendsville, I know you need to organize your work (or donation) because no one there will recognize the pictures of your ancestors that are donated without names, nor will there be a volunteer on hand to sort through your paperwork and put together all the loose ends that you could not fit together. Direct line genealogy papers are usually accepted IF they are in a (suitable) stand up notebook. As for the "misfit" pieces, they too should be organized into some sort of "file-able" format. I have purchased research material from Garrett County which is already on file in the Historical Society and the local library, (they don't need a second copy) but I think it might be of interest to other libraries in Maryland. Why not donate your copies to them? I file all of my miscellaneous data in plastic sleeves (archival), a 'school book type' notebook and they are ready to go on a shelf in a library that doesn't already have this information. I must admit, someone else may have to do an index. Sharing your genealogy with family is admirable, but sharing it with a strange is really what we should be about.

Hi Mary Ann, I believe the town of Bittinger was in District 12 in 1870, but I would also take a look at District 13 for any Noltes. Both Districts covered the Cumberland area in 1870 and I found Noltes in Cumberland in the 1880 census: You can view images of the 1870 census for District 12 & 13 at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/md/allegany/census/1870/dist-12/ and http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/md/allegany/census/1870/dist-13/ ===================== In the 1880 census I found both of Charles Frederick Nolte's orphaned children living with their Bittinger grandparents in Grantsville, Garrett, Maryland: ===================== Jonathan BITTINGER Self M Male W 65 OH Farmer OH OH Elizabeth BITTINGER Wife M Female W 62 PA House Keeping PA PA Maryann BITTINGER Dau D Female W 39 MD At Home OH PA Chancey BITTINGER Son S Male W 22 MD Laborer OH PA Annie A.

Notice that living in his household is a "Kate" Gottsucker, listed as "other" and employed as a servant. This "Kate" was actually David's sister Catherine who married Anthony Andrew Gottsacker/Gottsucker on Apr.02.1873 at St Lukes Parish, Queen Annes Co., Maryland. She no doubt is the mother of the two Gottsucker grandchildren living in her parents' home in Grantsville. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- David BIDDINGER Self M Male W 36 MD Farmer OH PA Mary BIDDINGER Wife M Female W 34 MD Keeping House VA PA Ellen BIDDINGER Dau S Female W 11 MD At Home MD MD William BIDDINGER Son S Male W 9 MD MD MD Martha BIDDINGER Dau S Female W 7 MD MD MD Jonas BIDDINGER Son S Male W 5 MD MD MD Lucinda BIDDINGER Dau S Female W 2 MD MD MD Kate GOTTSUCKER Other D Female W 25 MD Servant OH MD ==================== Have you considered that your Charles may not have come straight from Germany as an adult, but may have come as an infant or small child, and lived elsewhere in the US before settling in Garrett?

Dear Pat and Wendy, My gg-grandfather was in Co D 3rd PHB Inf MD. Unfortunately, there was another man by the same name who enlisted and mustered out at the same time. The only way I could identify my relative was through the pension files, which then led me to his full military record. Also, although I hated waiting 5 months for the file, and squirmed at bit at the cost, the investment in time and money were more than worth it! Since, my gg-grandparents did not have a registered marriage certificate, I have affidavits from numerous long term neighbors and friends, as well as of the pastor. I will do my best to share this info with the list before year end. I did find some information on Ancestry that I hope will help you, especially the Pension Index information that lists the name of a widow. -----------------------------SERVICE RECORDS (2 matches found) Benjamin F FriendEnlistment Date: 24 November 1861 Distinguished Service:DISTINGUISHED SERVICE State Served: Maryland Unit Numbers: 3278 3278Service Record:Enlisted as a Private on 24 November 1861Enlisted in Company D, 3rd PHB Infantry Regiment Maryland on 24 November 1861.POW on 29 June 1862 at Moorefield, VAMustered out Company D, 3rd PHB Infantry Regiment Maryland on 29 May 1865 Benjamin FriendEnlistment Date: 04 January 1864Distinguished Service:DISTINGUISHED SERVICE State Served: Maryland Unit Numbers: 3278 3278Service Record:Enlisted as a Private on 04 January 1864Enlisted in Company K, 3rd PHB Infantry Regiment Maryland on 04 January 1864.Mustered out Company K, 3rd PHB Infantry Regiment Maryland on 29 May 1865 ------------------------------PENSION INFORMATION Benjamin F.

Rizer; Lieut.-Col., Crawford W. Shearer; Majs., Michael Fallon, Charles L. Grafflin. Companies A, B, C, D and H of this regiment were recruited in Allegany county; Co. E at Hagerstown; F at Baltimore; G and K in Frederick county; and I in Howard county. The organization was commenced in the latter part of Oct., 1861, and as soon as the 1st battalion was mustered in it was assigned to Lander's division on the upper Potomac, where it served until March 11, 1862. The organization of the regiment was not fully completed until May 20, 1862, its term of service being for three years. It was on duty in the Mountain department until June 26, 1862, when it was transferred to the Middle department and participated in the defense of Harper's Ferry in September, where it was surrendered with the garrison. After the prisoner! s were exchanged the 3d was assigned to duty in guarding the line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. When Gen. Early invaded Maryland in July, 1864, this regiment formed a part of Gen. Lew Wallace's little army that so stubbornly resisted the Confederate advance at Monocacy, and after Early was driven back to Virginia it was with Gen. Hunter in the advance up the Shenandoah Valley, taking part in the fight at Snicker's gap. It then became a part of Gen. Sheridan's Army of the Shenandoah and after the close of the Valley campaign it was assigned to the department of West Virginia, where it remained until mustered out on May 29, 1865. The regiment, or a detachment of it, fought valiantly at Franklin, Wardensville, Moorefield, Harper's Ferry, Frederick, Monocacy, Snicker's gap, Bolivar heights, Halltown, Charlestown, Berryville, and in several lesser engagements. Its loss during the entire term of service was 83 men, 9 of whom were killed in action.

Art and Marylynn, I am so grateful for all this conversation about saving our research. I feel like I'd want to box my research all up and send it to a library or resource in Garrett County. All of my research is sorted and cross-referenced by surname and in file folders . . . probably have at least two record retention boxes worth of raw data and a 100 or so floppies of the correspondence I've received online . . . however, disks have a way of losing their magnetism and our com puters are so subject to viruses. CDs are probably the safest way to keep a copies. I have a CD Read-Write, and I think my next step would be to copy or scan everything to CDs. Scanning some of the booklets and documents I have might be a problem. They were originally typed on a typewriter and copied many times, are yellowed with age, and therefore don't copy or scan well, but it would be better than nothing. It would be nice to have a document feeder attached to my scanner and they are available for a hefty price ($200 or so), but when you look at the value of time and the research, it seems insignificant. Hmmmm. Maybe Kinko's offers this service. I'll have to check. I know that things can be saved to microfisch this way, why not to CD's. There are also audio/visual companies that can duplicate tapes and CD's rapidly . . . another resource. I'm retiring my home based business this year, so that will be a priority in the near future. Once the information is on CD, they can be duplicated and sent to a couple of different places and maybe they would be less likely to be tossed out.

I agree with you Lois, 100%!!, I myself have done research for both my husband's family and my own, and had a lot of information gathered, pretaining to what I needed, but much of what didn't compute. When I finished gathering my family, I made a mistake in giving it to one of my male relatives, who carried our name. He took the information and used it for his benefit, and claimed it for his own. After that, I decided to give it to the genealogical libraries in the areas that it would do the most good. I think we all have to clean out our collections once in a while, or it would be overwhelming our 'space', and gotten lost. They were very grateful.

I know your quandry. Having worked as a Genealogical Department head at a library, I suggest you box up that which you don't need and take it to your local library if they have a Genealogy Department. It would be a sad day if all the work you have put in collecting this information were lost. And I know also that like practically every genealogist, you will accumulate a lot of information that doesn't apply to your family. Fortunately it might help someone else out.

Phil, Thank you so much for your note. I will certainly put a note in my estate planning information to do just that. I'm sure your message to the list will prove invaluable to generations that follow. I didn't think a library would be interested in just folders of information. I feel so relieved. Regards, Lois

Art Grady's further bit of input. Libraries pretty much always accept gifts on an "unconditional" basis, meaning the nice smiling person who says, "sure, we'll take it", doesn't necessarily mean, "sure, we'll keep it." If you are thinking of giving genealogy files to your library, talk to them to see if they have more (demonstrating institutional interest and committment), if they will commit to keeping your treasures, and what their practices will be for making them available to researchers. You may want to work up the library food chain to a larger library, a special genealogy archive, or some such organization that makes you feel sure your materials won't end up pooffffff, gone with the wind, in a few months, years, or decades. Maybe drop a gazillion on kinkos and give a copy.
