This time I got it set so it comes through in larger type. Also, for those of you who don't know, capitals are used for the surname(s) of the families you are searching, but the rule all over the internet (in existence for years) is that capitals are shouting. Larger fonts (like this one) are for vision problems. Stressing is handled by kicking the couch. Joan. Joan Earnshaw wrote: > If someone cannot see well, it makes more sense to use a larger font.

My toughest brick wall is Christopher Elijah Jacob (or Jackson) Tinnin (my gr-gr grandfather) born about 1825 in Cape Girardeau Missouri. He had a brother named William B. Tinnin b. 1822, There was a sister Sarah and one Jane. There were other siblings as well. Mother named Charity Albright (Albricht). These individuals moved to Hood County Texas in mid 1800's, but can't find them before Texas. Father name could have been Hugh. Would appreciate any help. Johneda Tinnin Lee [email protected]

Something on one of the lists reminds me of an obstacle reported in Julius Hunter's book, Honey Island. He and his sister went ancestor hunting in Mississippi. At a courthouse, the book that they needed was on a high shelf. The clerk said that surely they did not want to see anything in that old book, and that surely he did not want to brinig it down from way up there. But they explained that they had come all the way from St. Louis and Chicago?. He got the book and they and found their material.

I am with you Ms. Piglet......now back to genealogy.....Sure hope that someone can help me out here....this is my brick wall for the past 18yrs. Kind of lengthy but bear with me please. I am wondering if anyone can help me out with finding about my John Ball. Here are my notes on him and his wife and children. John was born in 1857 at Kentucky. He married Delphia (--?--) on January 27, 1876 at Daviess Co., Missouri. She was born in 1840 (making her 17 years older than John). Both of John's parents were born in Kentucky according to census records. He is listed as a farmer in 1880 census. John had 2 stepchildren....Benjamin and Mary Bennett (both born in Missouri and both of their parents also born in Missouri). I have no idea who Delphia was married to prior to her marriage to John Ball but I do know that his last name was Bennett. Supposedly John and Delphia Ball, with their family, moved to Osceola, St. Clair, Missouri when Virgil and Clarence were quite young. John and Delphia died there when Clarence was about 11 or 12 (according to Clarence), but I have never found any proof of this. It is information that has been passed down through the years. There is a possibility that John may have had relatives in St. Clair County as I have found Ball's living in the area, but I do not know this for sure. He also lived in Ray County for a time, leading me to believe that he might also be related to the Balls of Ray County. Clarence's brother, Virgil supposedly finished raising Clarence after John and Delphia's death. According to another tip that I have received..... "The Kentucky BALLs seem to come from the Virginia line of BALLs. There is no known connection between that line and the New Jersey Ball line of Edward. The Virginia line produced Mary Ball, mother of George Washington" I have received information that my John Ball descended from Mary Ball, however......I have found NO connection as of yet to Mary Ball. Heck!!! I can't even get back past John Ball must less make it back to Mary Ball !!! Information on John and Delphia's children: A. Virgil Ball may have settled around Osceola, Missouri. He was born in 1877 at Richmond, Ray Co., Missouri. My mother remembers hearing relatives speak about Osceola, St. Clair, Missouri and also about Nodaway County, Missouri. B. Clarence Ball was born on April 2, 1880 at Richmond, Ray Co., Missouri. He appeared on the census of 1900 in the household of John Allsup at Daviess Co., Missouri as a laborer. He married Mary Ellen Heitman, daughter of Jacob Heitman and Anna E. Lapier. He appeared on the census of 1910 in the household of Jacob Heitman and Anna E. Lapier at St. Joseph, Buchanan Co., Missouri. He died on December 3, 1948 at St.Joseph, Buchanan Co., Missouri, at age 68. He always said that his parents died when he was young. Most of the children of Clarence and Mary Ellen died of heart conditions. Not sure who Louis is. 1910 Census showed him as a son, but Dorothy Ball Hicks (daughter of Clarence) says that there was never a son by this name. Perhaps he is actually the son of Jacob and Anna Heitman. Please let me know if anyone thinks they have a connection to any of the above persons. Again....sorry that this is so very long. Patsy Carnoali

A person who e-mailed me from one of my lists uses all capitals. I think he has a problem with his sight and sees the letters better in capitals. Doesn't bother me a bit. Lynn DeTrano

.....doesn't *anybody* here have any ancestors? <giggle> Maybe it's time for folks to dig out their toughest Missouri brick wall and tell us about it. Here's a question I'll throw out for anyone who might have a clue.... There are families named BUTCHER in Polk County, Hickory County and Dallas County that I know of (and probably others I don't). The Polk County bunch is for sure mine; they come originally from Surry County, North Carolina. Anybody have any indicators, pro or con, whether any other group of BUTCHERs in the state are kin to my bunch? I can find them on the 1850 Surry County census, and there are a passel of them, but I don't even know how they relate to each other. <sigh> Megan "Piglet" Zurawicz, ListPig [email protected] [email protected]

Hi all, I know that using caps implies shouting. But lets get real here there are many people that can not see very well and using caps is the only way they can see what they are any one else is writing. I'm sure we all know that when someone writes to a genealogy list using caps that they are certainly not shouting at those they are requesting help from. Just my 2 cents worth.

Yes, sometimes folks do it for visual reasons, and generally if they have any experience online they make sure you know that's why.<g> For folks who have never tripped over the idea of "netiquette", I've dug up a link to check..... http://www.albion.com/netiquette/ Looks to be a pretty comprehensive guide.

Dear List, A lot of people use caps because of a vision problem not knowing ( something I just found out myself ) that they can change their letters to look larger for them but not to other. Mrs Piggy, can you explain it better?

OK, here's mine! Still no info on my 2nd gr granmo. She married Jeremiah C. Vannoy in Pike Co., MO in 1843. She died April 1859. Place of death and burial place unknown--sources in Pike County have checked all cemetery listings for me. Main problem: I do not know her parents--can't seem to place her with any Moss family in Pike Co. at the time. Was she possibly a young widow whose husband was a Moss? Have no help from posting on Pike Co. list, so will try here. Census indicates she was born in KY--1821. ANY help appreciated (that's emphasis, not shouting!). Linda in Oregon

Yep thats true cept there are alot of people out there that have a hard time reading typing and type in caps so they can read what they wrote...when I get one in caps I assume they have seeing problems and type in caps back so its easier for them to read...
