Before the certificates were viewable online, Fairclough said patrons had to order copies through the mail for a fee or visit the state archives office in person. "The value of viewing the image of the original death certificate is that it saves you time, money, and provides rich genealogy data for the family historian," said Paul Nauta, manager of public affairs for FamilySearch. Captured on a death certificate are the names and birth places of the deceased person's parents, place and date of the decedent's birth, marital status, occupation, permanent residence, place and date of burial, time of death, chief cause and contributory factors of death, and if applicable, where illness was contracted and the duration of the illness.

Hi, Mary. Hope all is well with you and that you and your family are happy. Interesting that you ask, since I too asked myself that question upon reading the note. I do, however, very much suspect that Utah permits such vital statistics to be published after 50 years has passed. Since I have not read the statutes, I can not atall be sure. Still, notice that only the records through 1954 will be open to search. There is one other possibility that occurs to me; it may be that the counties are not required to forward their VS records to the State till 50 years after the events. Thanks, Dear, for jerking me out of the lethargy of winter; I will tell you what if anything learn further. Have a nice evening, and do stay in touch. :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: mary perkins To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2007 7:53 PM Subject: Re: [NCBERTIE] Fw: [DRAKE] Fwd: [ROOTS-L] More than 250,000 Utah Death Certificates Viewable Online Dear Paul, What's the likelihood that FamilySearch can or will do this for the rest of the states, or will state privacy laws prevent it in the more paranoid states!

The Utah death records are part of a major project underway to digitize and index the microfilmed records of the Genealogical Society of Utah/Family History Library. West Virginia death records were completed earlier. Only the vital records allowed by law will become available through this effort. Many microfilmed vital records have been pulled from the FHL shelves in the past as the states have restricted records. To read about the West Virginia records: http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/vrrhandout.html To search: http://www.wvculture.org/vrr/va_select.aspx The indexing portion of the project is being completed by volunteers and several societies have signed up but individuals can do so as well. For more information on the indexing which only requires about a 30 minute commitment whenever you want to participate, see www.familysearchindexing.org Rebecca Christensen Paul Drake <[email protected]> wrote: Hi, Mary.

Rose, Hello there! I have not personally used OA, however I am a DNA Project administrator and am quite familiar with all the testing labs. OA is a UK based testing company, with a limited set of markers that they test for. The testing they do is primarily geared towards a more anthropological goal. If you are looking for DNA testing for more of a genealogical purpose, I would suggest looking at Family Tree DNA and Relative Genetics. Our project uses FTDNA almost exclusively, although all projects will use results from whatever testing company you choose to use. FTDNA and RG both have extensive marker sets and the quality is probably nearly identical between the two. From a purely popularity aspect, FTDNA is the #1 lab in the country. Kind regards, Adrian Adrian Williams Williams DNA Project Administrator http://williams.genealogy.fm/ http://www.dna-pat.com/ [email protected] Rose Lowther wrote: > Has anyone on this list used Oxford Ancestors for DNA testing? > > Thanks, > Rose > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > >

Thanks Cuzzn. Same GGGs for me too. We may have connected in the past if you were the source for Mary's picture and John ?s. Do you have a copy of Mary's will and that of Josiah Mohoon from 1794? The spelling change from Mohoon to Mhoon happened between the 1810 and 1820 Censuses. Search Mohoon in http://books.google.com and also Mhoon. BTW, there is another site for Mhoontown Cemetery that has incorrect information. It says that a Mhoon was the first person buried there: It's not... Census Tip HeritageQuest: 1790 you must search for Mahon to get to Mohoon; 1820 Search for John Mohun and James Mohun to find Mohoons; 1810 search Moheen to find Jesse and McGoon to find John and Mohun to find Joel. Also, the missing census years in HeritageQuest search only mean that they are not searchable. Click on the browse button and slect state, county/parish, township and you can find what you are looking for.

Contributed By Steve Nicklas April 26, 1997 "Mhoontown Cemetery Holds Special Fascination For Cherokee Area Residents" By Gene Vandiver Times-Daily Writer Cemeteries dot the countryside around Cherokee, like freckles of the face of a small boy. Pride Cemetery, Smith Cemetery, Malone Cemetery and Lane Cemetery all tell just a little of the history surrounding the area, but MHOONTOWN Cemetery holds a special fascination for many of the residents. Perhaps it's the tombs- the six great marble and granite slabs which remind all who see them the people buried underneath were something special. The 12 foot monuments are the dominant feature of the cemetery, leaping into view as soon as the final turn in the road to the gravesite is made. Perhaps it's the setting- the tall ancient fir trees which issue almost humanlike groans when the wind blows or the haunting isolation of the well-manicured cemetery and church grounds. At any rate, for many years the citizens of Cherokee and the surrounding area have told their children tales of the burial place that is older than the state itself. Probably many a child has lain awake after his grandmother told him of the Mhoon ghosts walking about at midnight, or of the gold that supposedly was buried with the owners under the weathered tombs. Or maybe the child wondered how the robbers got to the top of George Mhoon's tomb to steal the fortune that was reportedly hidden in the huge urn there. But while citizens of the area told their children these stories, they themselves wondered just who the Mhoons were and what made them come to the country that was then so wild and unsettled. Mrs. Rita Dailey, author of "A History of the Rose Trail" said in a recent interview that very little is known about the family. "The Mhoons were the older members of the Pride family, a well-known Colbert county family." explained Mrs. Dailey. "they came to the region in the early 1800's and then left for California during the gold rush. Mrs. Dailey said the Mhoons came form North Carolina, and that they were apparently a fairly wealthy family. A check of the 1790 U.S. Census reveals that John Mhoon head of the family was a resident of Bertie County, NC., had five sons and three daughters, and was the owner of four slaves. The Mhoons moved to North Alabama about 1801, and remained until the excitement of California Gold Rush caught the remaining family members in its grip. The last surviving Mhoon daughter-in-law died in childbirth, leaving no one to carry on the family name in what had by then become Franklin County, AL. That county was split into smaller counties in 1867, so Mhoontown is now located in Colbert County. The inscriptions on the tomb tell something of the family's history during their Alabama years. For instance, near the circle of tombs, adjacent to Mary Mhoon's grave, is a small stone slab which reads: "Enclosed are the remains of John, infant son." which indicates another child was born to Mary Mhoon, family matriarch, soon after arriving in Alabama. Another inscription tells of how the family or at least part of the family, went back to North Carolina to fetch Lucy Mhoon's mother when her second husband died. The mother's grave is near the other tombs. The plot the family chose as their gravesite is isolated even now. The cemetery is located about five miles north of Cherokee, about a quarter-mile from the Tennessee River. Mrs. Dailey explained how the large and ornate tombs got to their site. "The marble for the tombs came from Italy," explained the North Alabama historian. "The tombs were made by a firm in St. Louis, and then shipped down the Mississippi around and up the Ohio River, and down the Tennessee. Then they were hauled over by oxcart." Since it took such a long time for the tombs to arrive the dead were often buried and the tombs ordered with the funeral held after they arrived. Mrs. Dailey told of how one North Alabama family sent out engraved invitations to the services. The Mhoons left, but their influence on the immediate are remained. The spot they chose as a cemetery became the spot for a church and the people continued to come to worship, to wonder at the old tombs, and to bury their dead in the cemetery. Naturally, many stories grew from the number of people speculation about the old burial spot. Mrs. Maggie smith, 84, a lifelong resident of Cherokee, explained how at least one of the notions, the one concerning the ghosts roaming at midnight came to be dispelled. According to Mrs. Smith, one of her relatives, the Rev. Jeff Smith, was pastor at the Mhoontown Methodist church. The Rev. Smith had become a minister at 14, and continued his ministry until he died at 105. Some of the people in the church had reported seeing lights in the old cemetery at night and he decided to show them there was nothing to fear. He stayed awake all one night in the church, observing the lights and in the morning happily reported to his flock what they had been seeing was not the lights of the Mhoon Family congregation around the old tombs, but plain old foxfire (a phosphorescent substance which glows in the dark.) Of course, some of the legends still exist, and rightly so, because they are as much a part of the cemetery as the huge tombs themselves. And the tombs along with the legends comprise a central part of Northern Alabama's history.
