    3. If father died and young and had a small child and the child grew up and had a child is the only way I can see that it would not be the second gen. away.

    1. [MO-OREGON-HISTORY] Honia & Page
    2. barbara smith
    3. Hello All, I can only find 2 people with the name Honia and Honian. One is E.C. Honia married a John Miller March 1850 in Monroe Co. Illinois. Also a Maria Honian that married Charles Green on Jan. 1870 in Vermilion Co. Illinois. I have one of those old pictures that is on a postcard but it was not mailed so no postmark. The picture was taken about 1910 to 1920 and it has 2 women standing behind a white chair with a little boy about 4 sitting in the chair. On the back of the picture it says Mrs. Honia and her daughter Mrs Page and grandson. Dose anyone have a female that had the last name of Honia before she married a Mr. Page? Or are these yours? Need any help! Thanks, Barbara eor@saber.net

    1. [MO-OREGON-HISTORY] True Southerners
    2. Nancy
    3. I'm sure many of you have seen this before, but in case you haven't: 1.) Only a true Southerner knows the difference between a hissie fit and a conniption, and that you don't "HAVE" them, -- you "PITCH" them. 2.) Only a true Southerner knows how many fish, collard greens, turnip greens,peas, beans, etc. make up "a mess." 3.) Only a true Southerner can show or point out to you the general direction of "yonder." 4.) Only a true Southerner knows exactly how long "directly" is - as in: "Going to town, be back directly." 5.) All true Southerners, even babies, know that "Gimme some sugar" is not a request for the white, granular sweet substance that sits in a pretty little bowl on the middle of the table. 6.) All true Southerners know exactly when "by and by" is. They might not use the term, but they know the concept well. 7.) Only a true Southerner knows instinctively that the best gesture of solace for a neighbor who's got trouble is a plate of hot fried chicken and a big bowl of cold potato salad. (If the neighbor's trouble is a real crisis, they also know to add a large banana puddin'!) 8.) Only true Southerners grow up knowing the difference between "right near" and "a right far piece." They also know that "just down the road" can be 1 mile or 20. 9.) Only a true Southerner both knows and understands the difference between a redneck, a good ol' boy, and po' white trash. 10.) No true Southerner would ever assume that the car with the flashing turn signal is actually going to make a turn. 11.) A true Southerner knows that "fixin'" can be used as a noun, a verb, or an adverb. 12.) Only a true Southerner knows that the term "booger" can be a resident of the nose, a descriptive, as in "that ol' booger," or something that jumps out at you in the dark and scares you senseless. 13.) Only true Southerners make friends while standing in lines. We don't do "queues", we do "lines," and when we're "in line," we talk to everybody! 14.) Put 100 true Southerners in a room and half of them will discover they're related, even if only by marriage. 15.) True Southerners never refer to one person as "y'all." 16.) True Southerners know grits come from corn and how to eat them. 17.) Every true Southerner knows tomatoes with eggs, bacon, grits, and coffee are perfectly wonderful; that redeye gravy is also a breakfast food; and that fried green tomatoes are not a breakfast food. 18.) When you hear someone say, "Well, I caught myself lookin' ..,"you know you are in the presence of a genuine Southerner! 19.) Only true Southerners say "sweet tea" and "sweet milk." Sweet tea indicates the need for sugar and lots of it - we do not like our tea unsweetened. "Sweet milk" means you don't want buttermilk. 20.) And a true Southerner knows you don't scream obscenities at little old ladies who drive 30 MPH on the freeway. You just say, "Bless her heart" and go your own way.

    1. [MO-OREGON-HISTORY] Randolph Co., AR 1870 Census Mystery
    2. Mike Landwehr
    3. Nancy, I believe that the census indexes provided by Ancestry.com are based on the AIS census indexes. I don't believe that the Ancestry census indexes for Randolph County in 1870 include any of the Randolph County townships other than the four identified by Betty Tucker. There are references in the Ancestry index for Randolph County for 1870 to census records in six townships other than the four Betty identified. However, none of those six were Randolph County townships. They appears to be Saline County townships (Beaver, Dyer, Hurricane, Jefferson, Marble, and Owen) which were apparently mis-coded at some point as Randolph County townships instead of Saline County townships.
