Wow, Gina, I didn't expect to hear back from you so soon and yes I'd be glad to make copies of the material which I quoted in my earlier message along with the other pages of the Volumes which you requested. Should I send them to the Burning Sky address shown in your website?? I do have one question, however, as I'm a little bit on the confused side as to what you mean by reimbursing me for a trip to town?? Like you, I lived on the West Coast my whole life until I was transferred to Tokyo, Japan in 1977 and have lived here ever since. While I have lots of family from Taney County, I have never been there myself but have built up a small library of publications over the years related to Taney County in order to fill out my research of those Taney County limbs on the family tree. Therefore, when I have publications that have data asked for in messages on the Taney County rootsweb List, I try to reply as time allows which explains why I happened to reply to your 2 messages. If you wish the photocopies sent to an address other than Burning Sky, let me know. I'm also on a number of Oregon, WA & Idaho rootsweb Lists so when I opened your Burning Sky website I realized I'm quite familiar with your name & postings in those areas as well.

We got to stop in Forsyth in August 1996 for a little over an hour before we got an emergency call to speed us up on our way to Youngstown Ohio where my mother-in-law was in a medical emergency. And, as I still have 4 school-aged kids living at home, it will probably be a long time before I get the chance to get back that way again. But it was beautiful country. Do you have those volumns of Janice's at your disposal? If so, would you be willing to make photocopies of the items you listed for me in your email - including title, contents & publication pages of the volumns as the info comes out of them? I would be more than happy to reimburse for postage & copies & gas for the trip to town. I am really curious about the Stiffler stones in the Edwards Cemetery - do you know where it is located? Another item of interest comes about regarding the obituary of John Bardell Stiffler in 1899 which stated that after he moved to Taney Co. he & family resided on the Casey homestead for about 14 yrs before he got up the money to buy his own home. We have often wondered if perhaps the old cabin in Silver Dollar City could have been the cabin that John's family lived in. John Bardell Stiffler, by the way, is the Stiffler who owned the cabin in Harrison, Arkansas where the Stiffler Springs is located. Though the original deed shows his brother Albert bought the land, the two brothers were trappers together and it was Albert who made the trip to the land office but John & his new wife, Martha Ann Brumbelow who took up residence & paid for the land. Albert returned to the family home in Rush Co. Indiana where he married in 1854, and returned by the time of the 1860 U.S. Census - John remained on the land. I know John is buried in Taney Co. - just not sure where, though at last communication with the Stiffler family still in town we all think he probably was buried in the Casey Cemetery but without further proof, we will remain unsure. ~gina~ Visit my homepage at http://hometown.aol.com/ginaburningsky/myhomepage/business.html <A HREF="http://burningskyenterprises.com/">Burningskyenterprises.com</A> ==== MOTANEY Mailing List ==== ============================== Visit Ancestry.com for a FREE 14-Day Trial and enjoy access to the #1 Source for Family History Online.
