I talked to an old cousin who said our Grandfather George M. Woodcock born 1855 died in Granby at the age of 45 Jan 1 1900 caught pneumonia after lighting the lambs in Granby.She said that was his job.Anyone know anything about lamp lighters.NJ

HELP.I have lost all my information off my PC..I am researching the Woodcock family from Granby Mo.Any information on them would be a treasure at this point.NJ

Would death certificates from the years 1860 and 1875 be recorded and if so would they be at the county seat of the county where the person died. Also marriage certificates. I'm looking for some in Newton County. Thanks, Nancy

Joy, I have never rec. the "Roots". How do I go about it???? Thank you. Jo Flores in California

One thing you folks seem to have in common who have not received the Sept. issue is a high zip code. At least I feel a little better now, these are in the same bundle when I start them in the system. Not saying that it's good that they have not arrived cause I think they are sitting at a bulk mail center somewhere. I'll just have to see what I can discover in that direction. Hopefully, they will arrive before I need to start working on Dec!

I haven't received one either. Jo Mills

Claire (goodwich@ix.netcom.com) in California is among those on the "not received" list!

Thanks so much for offering the Slave Schedule 1860. Do you find John Plummer?

Hi Joy, The "ROOTS for Sept." still has not found it's way to western Washington..... Shirley Dubuque

Hi All, Was prowling thru some photo copies I have - turned up the 1860 Slave Schedules. Will look up names on this if you need. It does not have any slave names, just age, sex & whether B or M. Sorry

It made it to Vancouver on Tuesday of this week...and was my first by the way! Maybe some bird going North for the winter hurried it along? What a great job you do!!! Thanks so much! Deb SHIPMAN ROWE

I think the Miscellaneous States groups got way-layed somewhere. Seems those that aren't there yet belong in this category.
