Meg, I've used ancestry.com for more than 10 years, although as a "mooch," not as a paid subscriber. They use these free offers strictly to advertise their paid services. I had to register many years ago, but I've only received e-mails notifying me of limited-duration free offers since. They do not share their info with others. Ancestry.com -- which also bought Rootsweb.com but operates that services for free -- charges so much for its regular subscriptions that it doesn't need to rip people off. You're safe. Randy

Don't worry about Ancestry.com. They are a well known company when it comes to genealogy. They are very safe.

Fellow researchers, I just discovered today a free offer, good until Nov. 25, on ancestry.com -- World War I draft registration records. (I can't afford a subscription to this service.)

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Hale Inman Sanders Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ZMB.2ACI/1810.1.1 Message Board Post: Dear Ms Folck: Thank you so much for answering my query. It is hard to find anyone who is doing any research on this family. I think that Mary Ann Inman Hail is buried in California. The one I am talking about married Reuben Hail(1802-11973) Reuben was born 1802 in Tennessee. He moved to near Sparta in the 1830s. His first wife, Lucy Weaver, died. Reuben then married Lucy's sister, Martha Weaver Taylor. They are in the 1840 census near Sparta. There are several Taylor families living near them. Martha then died in 1849. In 1852, Reuben married Mary Ann Inman. Mary Ann and her sister, Elizabeth Ellen's mother, died in about 1835 and their father moved on. Mary Ann and Elizabeth Ellen were raised by Martha Weaver Taylor Hail. In the 1840 census, you can see Reuben living very close to Elizabeth and her husband, William Fielding Taylor(he was the son of Martha. Living with William and Elizabeth Taylor, was her sister Mary Ann Inman. (I hope that makes se! nse) They later moved to California with Reuben. Reuben married Mary Ann Inman in 1852. They had twin daughters. They moved to Merced County, with the Taylors, in 1853. Mary Ann died shortly after they arrived in California. I suppose that they buried her there. I have searched for her grave online, but with no luck. One of the twin girls died before she was three years old. The other one, Sarah Jane, married John Hardin and lived most of her life in Umatilla County, Oregon. I hope that I have explalined this fairly well. It took me a long time finding out all of this. Reuben died in 1873 in California and is buried there in Plainsburg Cemetery. Please tell me anything that you know about The Sanders-Inman-Hail family. Mary Ann's mother was Sally Sanders. Sally died in Parke County, Indiana, in a horse accident(as far as I can tell) Mary Ann's father left all of his children when she died. He went on to get married and have another 10 children with anothe! r woman. Any other info that you have please share with me---there is so little known about this group of families. Please stay in toucn. thanks brian in springfield mo Please tell me about your ancestors.

Epidemics in U.S. - 1657 - 1918 If you ever wondered why a large number of your ancestors seemed to disappear during a certain period in history, it may have been due to an epidemic. Epidemics have always had a great influence on people and therefore the genealogists trying to trace them. Many cases of people disappearing from records can be attributed to people dying during an epidemic or moving away from the affected area. Some of the major epidemics in the United States are listed below 1657 Boston: Measles 1687 Boston: Measles 1690 New York: Yellow Fever 1713 Boston: Measles 1729 Boston: Measles 1732-33 Worldwide: Influenza 1738 South Carolina: Smallpox 1739-40 Boston: Measles 1747 Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania & South Carolina: Measles 1759 North America (areas inhabited by white people): Measles 1761-61 North America & West Indies: Influenza 1772 North America: Measles 1775 North America (especially hard in New England): Epidemic (unknown) 1775-76 Worldwide: Influenza 1781-82 Worldwide: Influenza (one of worst flu epidemics) 1788 Philadelphia & New York: Measles 1793 Vermont: Influenza and a "putrid fever" 1793 Virginia: Influenza (kills 500 people in 5 counties in 4 weeks) 1793 Philadelphia: Yellow fever (one of worst) 1783 Delaware (Dover): "extremely fatal" bilious disorder 1793 Pennsylvania (Harrisburg & Middletown): many unexplained deaths 1794 Philadelphia: Yellow fever 1796-97 Philadelphia: Yellow Fever 1798 Philadelphia: Yellow Fever (one of worst) 1803 New York: Yellow Fever 1820-23 Nationwide: "fever" (starts on Schuylkill River, PA & spreads 1831-32 Nationwide: Asiatic Cholera (brought by English emigrants) 1832 New York & other major cities: Cholera 1837 Philadelphia: Typhus 1841 Nationwide: Yellow Fever (especially severe in South) 1847 New Orleans: Yellow Fever 1847-48 Worldwide: Influenza 1848-49 North America: Cholera 1850 Nationwide: Yellow Fever 1850-51 North America: Influenza 1852 Nationwide: Yellow Fever (New Orleans: 8,000 die in summer) 1855 Nationwide (many parts): Yellow Fever 1857-59 Worldwide: Influenza (one of disease's greatest epidemics) 1860-61 Pennsylvania: Smallpox 1865-73 Philadelphia, New York, Boston, New Orleans, Baltimore, Memphis, & Washington D.C.: a series of recurring epidemics of Smallpox, Cholera, Typhus, Typhoid, Scarlet Fever & Yellow Fever 1873-75 North America & Europe: Influenza 1878 New Orleans: Yellow Fever (last great epidemic of disease) 1885 Plymouth, PA: Typhoid 1886: Jacksonville, Fl: Yellow Fever 1918 Worldwide: Influenza (high point year) More people hospitalized in World War I more died from Influenza than wounds.

Pama, Do you think that this Peter and Sarah Bilyeu are related to the Bilyeu around here? Thanks, Michelle PS--I just thought that if they were, maybe I could look up some of the Bilyeu families here in the phone book and call and ask them about it.

I believe that I read somewhere that Reno, MO was started by Peter and Sarah Bilyeu. Thanks, Pama

Hi All Here is one of the years MISSOURI INDIAN LAWS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If any of your Ancestors came through Missouri and was from the Removed Five Civilized Tribes or any other indian nation here is what they found. Many Indian Familys because of the move of the Five Civilized Tribes of the Indian Nations moved to Missouri and many choose not to be Recognized or Register on the Goverment Rolls and hid there idenity. Missouri became a state in 1821 and began passing laws to prevent Indians from moving into or hunting in the state of Missouri without a pass from a Goverment Indian Agent. And could not purchase or own land in the state. The State Milita was also called out to remove Indians from theWhite Settlements when found. This did not include the Tribes which were here when Missouri became a State, because they were Registered with the Goverment. The Govenor ask the surounding States to also abide by these laws and not issue permits for Indians to come into the state.There were many heavy fines for even tradeing with Indians or living with Indians this is why I Call Missouri the Black hole of Genalogy when your Ancestors were Indian. They came to Missouri,They bought land and lived in Missouri, but could make no mention of there Ancestors untill 1909 when the laws was repealed.
