I have been swamped with requests for info. My lines are Butterfield and Bunker, so I have copied everything with those surnames in it. Any other surname I have info on, I have because it was on the same page as my surnames. I will send info on the names you e-mail me with first and surnames. via e-mail. With the people that want all Bunkers and Butterfield info, we will need to work out something via snail mail unless I buy a scanner. As, I tried DIG. Camera photo, and that didn't work. I have saved all the e-mail, and tomorrow I will print them out and start this project rolling. Remember that I do live 10 min. away from the Maine historical Library and they have tons of info on MASS too. To me that is as good as a gambler living next door to a race tract. BJ

LDS Records can be searched at Familysearch.org online, and also that web site will give you the addresses of the Family History Centers, which you can personally visit. One note: when you go there, they will ask you if you have the Soundex Codes that you are looking for, but they will help you if you don't know. Lynne Rice

Every time I want to use it I just go to google search and type in LDS family search page, and then click on the second link. easssssssy. Paul of San Diego

Can anyone give me an adress to search the LDS Genealogy records? How hard is it to get info from this group. BJ

Jack sent me this Idea... """"Perhaps a better idea is to find someone yourself, who you know would be interested and trustworthy, and specify him or her in your Will. That was my approach. I felt that my family and Executor would have more than enough to do and should not have to deal with my genealogy files, etc., as well.""""" Jack Ott researching the ROTH family from Karbach >From myself, That would be a good idea, as my grandfather had records, and didn't do anything with them and I found out he was into Genealogy, from an Family ASSOC. he belonged to, when I got in. His records were lost forever. My step grand mother, (whom I have no clue to .her prev. last name), family got everything from my grand father as he passed away 2 weeks before she died. My father controlled everything and wanted no problems with the family. I cannot talk to him about any of this, as he is a control freak in his 80's, and wants no part of Genealogy thanks to my half cousin who is in genealogy. My grandmother and her grandfather were married before my grandmother married my grandfather. The opinions of who was the good vs. who was the bad person, are very different. (My opinion is, that a man that takes on another mans children as his own in way of raising, feeding, clothing, with no support form the alcoholic real father is a good person.) If this statement insults anyone, I am so sorry.) Somehow she insulted him or his mother in some way, as he is VERY protective of his mother. Who knows how. He will not give me any info. on how life was. My mother is under his control and is clueless.

Looking for any information about my ancestor Louisa Elizabeth Getchell, b. 1810, Maine. She married in September 1832 in Anson/New Portland, Somerset County, Me to Amos Hall. In the 1850 census they had an Eliza Getchell, age 70 living with them in Penobscot County. I believe this must have been Louisa's mother. In searching further, I found an Elias Getchell living in Anson, Maine and in 1847, Eliza Getchell, widow of Elias sold land to Burnice Getchell. Louisa and Amos first son was named Elias and their second son, my gggrandfather was named Albert Taylor Hall. There have been numerous Getchell/Taylor marriages. William Taylor married Isabelle Getchell, Emily Getchell married Albert Taylor and Burnice Getchell married Betsy Taylor. Has anyone got any information on any of these people that will help me hurdle my brick wall? Thanks in advance.

John, I don't know if the following information will help, or just add more confusion. Burnham Clinton Estes was age 27 (year of birth would be 1883) when he married 19 Aug 1911 in Lewiston Gertrude Edith Hitchcock age 18. Burnham was born Mapleton, Maine (Aroostook County) Gertrude was born in Lewiston. Both were residents of Lewiston. Burnham was a shoemaker and Gertrude did housework. His parents were: Elijah Estes deceased born Detroit, and Margaret Ketch (place of birth not legible) Gertrude's parents were: Charles W. Hitchcock, residing Farmington, born Temple, Maine and Mary Deane residing Farmington, b. England. The 1880 census index for Maine does not show an Elijah Estes of the right age to be Margaret's husband. However in Mapleton, Maine in 1880 there was a Maggie Estes, age 14, (b. 1866), married, living in Mapleton, Maine with the Marshall Redeker family. Living next door to the Redeker's are three Estes men; Omon, head of house, age 25, single, Benjamin A., age 19, married, and Fernald age 27, single, all born Maine. In 1880 living in Caribou is the Israel and Mahala Ketch family, there is no daughter Margaret in the family or any daughter b. 1866. Is the Maggie Estes in Mapelton, Israel's daughter and Burnham C. Estes's mother? I have a few other bits of information. Contact me privately at dell@gwi.net. Ardell At 09:08 PM 2/8/04 -0500, JOHN L.

Thank you! This explains Burnham G Estes will (Madison) in his will executed in 1913 left to his brother $1.00; left to niece, Ivy B. Estes and nephew, Burnham Estes, children of brother Elijah $1.00; left to his brother, Vinal W. all the rest. This was sent to me but I have not seen the document. Probably Benjamin was the first named brother? --- CRBCC@aol.com wrote: > 1910 Census, Lewiston, Androscoggin, Me: > Dyer, Maggie, Head, 42, M2-21, (ch.7-6), Me > Estes, Ivy, dau, 26, S, Me > Estes, Burnham, son, 24, S, Me > Dyer, Elbridge, son, 19, S, Me > Dyer, Mahala, dau, 11, S, Me > Dyer, Sadie, dau, 13, S, Me > Dyer, Forest, son, 8, S, Me > >Marian __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Thanks Ardell and Marian: I dont know if this is old information to you, but after some digging I believe it to be accurate. According to Janice Gower ggower1@maine.rr.com Margaret Ketch born abt 1866, the dau of Israel Ketch and Mahalia Jane Wright, married an unknown Estes and had two children. Burnham Estes was one of the children. Margaret Ketch married a Dyer and a Silver. The 1930 census for Auburn,Androscoggin,Maine shows a "Bunion" (Burnham) C. Estes living with his mother, Margaret J. Silver. Also listed is Phillip E. (Vernon) Estes, grandson age 20 and Margaret L. Estes age 14. Phillip is the son of Gertrude E. Hiscock and Kusta Victor Paavola, who was given the name Estes after Gertrude and Burnham Clinton Married in 1911. Margaret L. Estes is the daughter of Gertrude Hiscock and Burnham Clinton Estes. If Ms Gower and the census are correct, all we need the the first name of the father of Burnham Clinton Estes. So far, no success. Are we sure that Burnham Estes, the son of Elijah did not marry?

John, am glad to learn more about Burnham Clinton Estes, I cannot connect him yet but surely there is a connection. Burnham Leroy had a brother, Clyde Maurice Estes who married Crystal Perkins in Auburn in 1928. I am sending a few things about Burnham Leroy that may differ from your information. I will stick to just B.L at this time and get to other Burnhams later. Burnham Leroy Estes born St. Albans, Somerset, Maine 21 Aug 1891, son of Vinal, 47, born Carmel, Penobsot,Maine and Blanche L. Luce, born in St. Albans, Maine. The birth was reported by Fred H. Luce of Cambridge, Somerset,Maine, brother of Blanche. (copy of delayed return of birth, State of Maine, clerk of St. Albans). He died in Pittsfield, Maine, 3 March 1969 77 years old (Maine death index). SSDI has him born 21 Aug 1891 and died Mar 1969 with Unity zipcode. (Post Office had a Star Route for those who lived between the Unity and Troy post offices and the address was Unity.) I have not yet obtained a copy of the death certificate. (His sister, Blanche, had a Star Route address.) I have a copy of his obit, Burnham L. Estes, with address line Wellington, Maine, died at the hospital in Pittsfield. He was buried in Pingree Center Cemetery, Hartland, Maine after a funeral in Pittsfield. (Shorey's Funeral Chapel). I have a copy of a warranty deed for land he bought in Wellington. The obit says he lived in Newport the last 5 yrs. One of Burnham Leroy's children was Burnham Glenville, named for Burnham Leroy's uncle who lived in Madison. more later.

----- Original Message ----- From: JOHN L. WHITNEY To: MESOMER-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2004 9:47 AM Subject: Re: Burnham Estes I have been following the Burnham Clinton Estes line for one of the descendants. He married Gertrude Edna Hiscock 19 Aug 1911. They had one daughter, Margaret Estes, born about 1913. Note: This family seems to have preferred the HISCOCK spelling of the name, although some have it HITCHCOCK. Gertrude and Burnham divorced and she married Stephen P. Farrell on 22 Sep 1923. Gertrude had a son with Kusta Victor Paavola, I believe a Finnish Sailor, who returned to Finland and Russia. After she married Burnham the child was given the name Phillip Vernon Estes, born 5 Mar 1910. Burnham Clinton Estes died Mar 1969 in Unity, see SSDI. Burnham L. Estes was born in Maine in 1863, died in Pittsfield. He married a Margaret J. Ketch, born 1866 in Caribou, Aroostook,Me. Elijah Estes also had a son named Burnham, born 20 Jan 1828 in Troy, Waldo,Maine died 4 Oct 1890 in Troy. He married Elizabeth ..? The above does not agree with other information published on this list. However, there seems to be more "Burnhams" out there. Comments and corrections appreciated. John

John Campbell of Bowdoin had descendants in Norridgewock, Wellington, and Kingsbury, as well as Penobscot County. I've found three different versions of his ancestry: G.F. Ridlon, Leory Campbell, and the IGI. There may be more. Does anyone have the real scoop? - Jeanne
