Thank you, Sue, Somehow, I didn't get the whole thing, and I appreciate you're following through and repeating it for me. I'm certain that this John is the brother to my Abel Rarick who settled in Montcalm Co., in Home Township. Their mother, Charlotte is the one who appears as the housekeeper with the Rough family in 1870. A third brother, Russel Harrison, passed through Berrien County at some point, but I don't know just when, except it is sometime after the Civil War, because in his Pension Record he lists Berrien Springs as one of his post-war residences. Knowing that Sarah started out in Hillsdale explains why they settled there. I have a death record for both of them in Hillsdale, Woodbridge Township, and she names her parents there. Unfortunately, John never reports his parentage, except that I have him in several New York Census records with the rest of his family. A sister, Emma, is with Charlotte in 1870, but other Rarick researchers and I are not convinced that she is not the Emma Rarick who married the Brown in Berrien County. We have an Emma who is also the right age, alone as a housekeeper back in Yates County, NY in 1880. I'm sorry about the re-posts this week, but when I didn't get a response from you a week or so ago about checking the details on the marriage, I concluded that you must be away and didn't get my message. Having gotten into this family as heavily as I have the last few weeks, I'm trying to keep the momentum going. Again, thanks for your help.

My Berrien county names are STATZEL and GOTHAM. Alternate spellings are Startzel and Godam. I have hit a brick wall with both of them. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks! - Caroline

Hello, I have combined 2 sexton books from Franklin Cemetery, Berrien Twp. and put the information online for your use.

Thanks, Daundra, I guess that what Sue sent me from the index is all I'm going to find with that record. I'd hoped that John might have named his parents there. No, I'm the Bob Snyder from Watervliet (class of '55). My dad was Harold Snyder, who was very active in Berrien County Masonic stuff while he was still living. I'll wait and see if Sue comes up with anything from the original record.

Daundra, I have already provided that information to Bob Snyder in an e-mail I sent him on April 12 and I wrote him again today. Don't waste your time getting the information again. Your time is valuable. Your help on the list is and always has been appreciated. I have been helping him with his Rarick family. I also will be in Stevensville on Friday. Hope to meet you.

Hello, My name is Bob Snyder, and I need a lookup in Berrien County Marriage. In the index, I have: John A. (or O.) Rarick, m. Sarah C. Thirckell, 8 Feb 1876. Could someone check that marriage record for me and see if John A. names his parents there? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you much. BobGet more from the Web.

Dear Friend Welcome to the list. It is our hope that we will be able to help you in yur quest for your Berrien County roots. I am enclosing Brenda Sears, list owner, web site for you to explore. She just finished listing the Sodus township burials. Check it out. Keep in touch and give us your family names. http://www.rootsweb.com/~miberrie/index.htm (just cut and paste this) Daundra in Coloma <budblossum@aol.com>

Just to let you know Brenda is typing up a storm with the cemetery inscriptions. That good weather was a boon to us. So keep looking at the site. Also I have some additions to add to them. Dates, marriages, children, military, etc., all that good stuff that keeps it from just names and places. It takes time to cross reference all this. We want what we put on the sight to be correct! Now what would you like to see put on the sight? Have you got some pictures to share? How about your clippings. Bible pages? Family antipodes? Obituaries? What ever. If you are a "hunt and peck typer" just scan or copy it and send it to our private add. We do this just for you. Not for personal gain of profit. But to keep it viable you must pitch in too. Put your minds to work, if the webs of family research haven't clogged it up. Come up with some ideas. We need to stick together and keep genealogy free! HIGBEE CEMETERY UP DATE I have been contacted by Kevin Tonkin, a Niles Tow. Trustee, he is trying to get the old Higbee Cemetery in Bertrand, ship shape. This seems to be no small task. The site is land locked and we are looking at every option. I truly hope that he can do something. He seems very interested and I have given him all the information I have. Why not e-mail him a word of encouragement. ..........hey Niles people!!!!!!! <kbtonkin@excite.com> LADIES OF THE G.A.R RECORDS Coming soon a very special project of mine. Do you remember "The Ladies of the G.A.R?" Well, we will have the records of the Niles Circle #45 on line soon. This will include the history of the circle, charter members and of course their Civil War ancestors !!!!!!! I was the last President of the circle (the baby and State Jr. Vice Pres.) before we gave up the charter. I just donated all the records to the Sons of Union Veterans Civil War for safe keeping (but have copies, of course). They have a special archive in Lansing for this information, it will be preserved for our future researchers. Please ..No lookups yet. Be patient and you will have it all. Remember each other and keep up your good work for the future. This is a big boat we are all in and we must all pull together. Taint it all a bunch o' fun, Daundra PS add for the web site just in case, just cut and paste. http://www.rootsweb.com/~miberrie/index.htm
