Need help in locating information on Eli D. STEELE b. ca1864. His father was John Wesley STEELE. Eli STEELE married Eliza Jane POTTS IN 1902. She was the daughter of Joseph POTTS and Nannie KNIGHT. Eli's siblings were Sarah, Mary Elizabeth, Emily, Malesa Elander, George R., John B., and Sam - all born between ca1855 - ca1862. Eli and Liza STEELE had four children. We know they lived in Pheba, MS and Cumblerland, MS. Eli and Liza STEELE were buried in Webster County. We have no information on them prior to Webster County, MS, where Eli died ca1940. It is believed they moved to MS from Anniston, AL. - we have been unable to locate the counties in which they lived in MS prior to their move to Webster County. Would appreciate any information on our STEELE family, including where they lived in MS prior to settling in Webster County. Thanks for your help! Bren

I hope YOU ALL WILL EMAIL ...I HOPE NO ONE GETS MAD I AM SENDING THIS>>> Forwarded with permission....THIS BILL IS SO VERY IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US!! List administrators, The failure of this bill will cost us so much research documents, that I felt that I must send this out to the lists. Please if you have members living in MONTANA ASK THEM TO READ THE BILL AND SEND THIER COMMENTS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE, STATE CONGRESSMAN OR REPRESENTIVE, THank you Nelda YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL FIND OUT SOME OF YOUR RELATIVES WENT TO MONTANA and due to the loss of records have now dissapeared!!! From: "Patricia Marchington" <marching@avicom.net> To: <Undisclosed.Recipients@mailB.montana.com> CC: <marching@avicom.net> Subject: URGENT--SB 443 has a TIE VOTE OF 9 TO 9 !! Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2001 07:32:18 -0700 TO THE SUPPORTERS OF SB 443 ! The House of Representatives have just told us that they have not heard much from Montana people in their own DISTRICTS. AND mostly from Livingston here...as the only MONTANA people.... HOWEVER, they have heard from all over the STATES (LOTS FROM ALASKA) and around the WORLD (AUSTRALIA, FRANCE, ENGLAND, CANADA...). Especially the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES on this STATE ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE, feel that "playing POLITICS" and squaring off Democrats against Republicans is the way to go with SB 443, (they had a bad long drawn out fight the day before on a different BILL)! And this Committee thinks nit-picking on every little point is being responsible.........SIMPLE SOLUTIONS are not something they understand!! Yes, there has been 4 Amendments to SB 443!!! HOWEVER, SB 443 is still: "AN ACT REQUIRING THAT LOCAL PUBLIC RECORDS BE OFFERED TO CERTAIN ENTITIES AND TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC BEFORE BEING DESTROYED! The Amendments basically state how the NOTICE will be given.........SINCE THE COURTHOUSE CLERKS CAN'T BE BOTHERED WITH HAVING TO GIVE TOO MUCH NOTICE TO PUBLIC (PRIVATE CITIZENS), after all!! SB 443 is still under DEADLINE.....we may have until Monday (I am still checking on this....since everyone tells me a different date!!). I am leaving for Helena in a few minutes......if I have to talk with all of these other 9 NO VOTERS......AND ALL OF THE REMAINING 100 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES BY MYSELF I WILL ! I JUST DON'T FEEL THAT IF THIS BILL DIES.... THAT MONTANA'S OLD RECORDS DESERVE TO HAVE THE SAME FATE !! Especially since the Legislature will not meet again for 2 YEARS ! Marien Stolzenburg & I give permission to fax or scan our LETTERS TO THE EDITORS from Wed. 3/21/01 Billings Gazette Paper to any other paper in Montana........or anyone else could write their own to any paper in MT. Sen. Butcher the sponsor of SB 443 says, "Use polite persuasion to the NO VOTERS" on this State Administration Committee..... The NO Voters are: Debby Barrett--Dillon Dee Brown--Hungry Horse Larry Lehmen--Power Ralph Lenhart--Glendive Gay Ann Masolo--Townsend Doug Mood--Seeley Lake Alan Olson--Roundup Rick Ripley--Wolf Creek Clarice Schrumpf--Billings All of these members have heard from the Park County Genealogy Soc. in fact we have written to a lot of the 100 Rep.......so they think that since we are so small we can be ignored!!! The out-of-staters have been begging me to let them help, as have the out of Country Genealogists.........but the Legislators will only listen to Montana people! I have known this from the start. What is sad is that these out-of-staters and out of country Genealogists, really think of themselves as MONTANA people, because some still have family here while others use to live here and still others have very deep MT HISTORY in their FAMILY ROOTS. THEY JUST WANT TO PROTECT THE MONTANA OLD RECORDS... SB 443 WOULD BE THE FIRST LAW TO ESTABLISH A RECOGNITION OF PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT TO PRESERVE ALL OF OUR MONTANA HERITAGE, UNIVERSALLY THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE STATE OF MONTANA!! I have just been told, that in some Montana Counties where they have micro-filmed some......they threw out the OLD RECORDS BOOKS, BUT, the film was the cheapest the County would buy, so the films are so faded that they can't be read! And since it was the Clerks that were doing the filming, they got tired of taking the books apart to be filmed.....so what was filmed was only parts of a page, the bindings had been too big to lay anywhere close to flat! Some of the Counties this happened in were in Rep. Olson's DISTRICT (see above list of No Voters)....whereby these same CLERKs have been calling him to Vote NO!!! e-mail the House of Representatives TODAY !! http://leg.state.mt.us/leg_msg.htm SB 443 IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF DR. & PROFESSOR TOOLE OF THE UNIV. OF MONTANA--MISSOULA. He was The Historian of Montana History & champion to the Preservation of Montana's past through not only artifacts, but also it's WRITTEN HISTORY ! Please Support SB 443. Patricia Marchington, with MT Roots going back to 1878. marching@avicom.net _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

Hi all, Just updated the WebWide Surname Locator at Obituary Central http://www.obitcentral.com Hundreds of new surname pages have been indexed, allowing you to find those hard to deal with surnames like PARK, BELL, BOND, FOREST, and DEAL. Since these surnames are also commone English words, conventional search engines bring up tons of irrelevent pages. I hope WebWide helps your research. Blessings, Bill and Tina Cribbs HELP STOP BREAST CANCER!!! Obituary Central http://www.obitcentral.com

Let me re-phtase that---MOST of the 1890 schedules were damaged by the fire and resulting water damage to the point they were not salvageble. The URL article plainly states "Meanwhile, the still soggy, "charred about the edges" original and only copies of the 1890 schedules remained in ruins. " Most of the 1890 schedules WERE destroyed or damaged by the fire (maybe not directly but by from water that was used to fight the fire). Here's a quote from the "Guide to Genealogical Records in the National Archives" (copy I have had for many years was published by NARA in 1964): "The regular 1890 schedules were destroyed or badly damaged by a fire in Washington on January 10, 1921. Practically all the schedules not then destroyed were destroyed by congressional authorization in 1933. The National Archives, however, has some of the 1890 special census schedules." The "special census schedules" referred to above is a census taken in 1890 of Union veterans who fought in the Civil War. My statement still stands--MOST of the 1890 census is not here because of the fire in 1921--the 1900 census is all there. Bill Allen wrote: > > The 1890 U.

The 1890 U. S. census was not lost in a fire. On January 10, 1921, there was a fire in the Commerce Building in Washington, D.C. that housed the U. S. census. None of the U. S. censuses (inclucing 1890) were distroyed in the fire. The fire was contained to the 1st floor. The 1890 U. S. census was in the basement. It was water damaged. In 1934, the 1890 U. S. census was distroyed by the Department of Commerce. In 1942, parts of the 1890 U. S. census were found to have survived the "destruction." In 1953, more of the 1890 U.

Can someone look up a census for a Goodrum, William ..And or any family members listed with him Thanks.....Janice

Correct me if I'm wrong but the 1900 Census is quite hard to attain b/c i think it was lost in a fire or flood or some sort. There are bits and pieces of it that were saved but I think that you have to go to the 1890 one and then the 1910. And somehow, all of us always need the 1900 one, go figure. I may be wrong though so keep checking. -mary

You are correct but you have the years reversed. The 1890 census was the one lost in a fire. All the 1900 census is available.

Hi, Is there anyone who might be able to help me with 1900 census records? I need help finding John David WATSON and Catherine, in Panola, Lafayette, and Pontotoc Co. Thanks for any help you can give. Best Regards, Mary

Thanks Jim, however did you do that? What a break! Was there anything else on Alexander C. Gordon? I am near Lake Charles, LA and wonder if the Bilbos and Ryans are a part of those people who were pioneers of Lake Charles area? We have a long line of Bilbos and Ryans. Is it possible to get a copy of the marriage license? Or is that hoping for too much? Alexander Gordon and "Jenny", as she is listed in the obituary, settled on his homestead that he was perfecting, in Calcasieu Parish, where she died a year after the wedding. I do not know where she was buried. Any other information will be a blessing. Thanks, Ethel.
