I use Google maps for addresses and satellite views of addresses. But there is a program that improves on what I have been doing. Even without the download, I tried my own address and with the satellite view, I could see my own house. Try Google maps for area search...New and BRILLIANT, road maps and satellite views with infinite scrolling in any direction. An astonishingly intimate view; see fields and rivers in Greensboro, Liverpool, Iraq, Western Australia as easy as pushing a button, find the highest point on Ararat, find your house (though you have to imagine the garden gnomes), make the earth spin and stop as you choose. Google Earth. earth.google.com for Windows XP or 2000 http://desktop.google.com/download/earth/ to download the application. "The Fly To feature accepts an address, place name, cross street or simple Latitude/Longitude coordinates and zooms you quickly in to the specified location, typically stopping at an altitude of about 3,000 feet above ground. From this point, use the controls to zoom, tilt, pan or rotate the view. Checkboxes next to the navigation controls allow you to overlay lodging, roads, terrain, dining, geographical borders and 3D buildings over the satellite image. Even more overlays are available using the "layers" features. Additional layers allow you to overlay data points of geographic interest over images." ______________________________

_Cpzb4@aol.com_ (mailto:Cpzb4@aol.com) Thanks for your reply here on my G-Grandfather, (JOHN) CASWELL HOWELL. <<Husband: John Caswell HOWELL ____________________________________ Born: 1820 at: NC Married: ABT 1840 at: GA Died: 1883 at: GA Father: Mother: Other Spouses: __________________________________ Wife: Perneice Arrena Womack MOORING >> That name of the wife as PERNEICE ARRENA WOMACK MOORING quite possibly in error - that appears to me to be a combination of info that Folks Huxford gave & was long given as the wife's name, (but on which I've never been able to find the source - not even at the Huxford Gen. Library in Homerville, GA!) & the name that a Bernie Dudek of NC helped me find several yrs ago now. Mr. Huxford gave the name of ARRENA WOMACK - but a few years ago, thanks to the help of Bernie Dudek of NC, we found the name of PERNEICE MORING given as the wife. I do know there is documentation of the marriage of the bro, BARNEY B. HOWELL to SMITHY ANN MORING in Thomas Co, GA - so the likelihood of my PERNEICE being a sister of SMITHY ANN could certainly be the case. The bride's name on Barney B. & Smithy Ann is all mixed up in an abstract of marriages of Thomas Co, GA - believe this was done by a Mr. Craigmiles but the name is SMITHY ANN MORING. I know several descendants of this line. Due to the ages of CASWELL's & PERNEICE's ch, they must've been mar well before they first appear in that 1850 Census, in Thomas Co, GA in the same household with a MARY ALLEN, age 68, b NC w/2 younger females, possibly daus, named NANCY, age 22 & ELISABETH, age 17. I have not yet found any known relationship between MARY ALLEN & the HOWELLs, but I've looked & looked. In the past, I looked for several years for a PERNEICE WOMMACK - talked to some very knowledgable WOMMACK researchers as they were compiling info for a book, & the only PERNEICE WOMMACK was one mar to another man. I don't know whether my aunt gave Huxford info that led to the thinking it was a WOMMACK or if Huxford gave my aunt that info. My aunt only lived down the road from Homerville, in Lakeland in Lanier Co, GA ( which used to be Milltown, Berrien Co, GA) - not more than a few miles between them. Haven't I also seen your emails on the Sampson/Duplin Co Lists also - (I also have CARROLLs that came from the above NC counties into Berrien Co, GA - TALLEY is another family line (& yes, my grandfather HAMPTON A. HOWELL was 1st mar to DOROTHY ANN TALLEY - after she died, he mar my grandmother, 2nd, LILLIAN EUGENIA (LAMB) who was the dau of JOHN CARROLL LAMB & wife, STATIRA ANN (LOVEJOY) LAMB - she later mar ROBERT S. HOLZENDORF some 7 or 8 yrs after the death of Maj. JOHN CARROLL LAMB, CSA near Jackson, MS during Civil War. LILLIAN EUGENIA (LAMB) HOWELL & DOROTHY ANN (TALLEY) HOWELL were cousins. Thank you again so much for your posting - as I'm sure you know, it helps to know others see info given & reply! Sarah Howell Studstill

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Darring/Rountree/Dickerson/Coley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.families.aol.com/mbexec/msg/4300/wUB.2ACE/758 Message Board Post: Searching for info on the Darring and Rountree families. My great-grandfather's name was Rulius Darring. My great-grandmother's name was Mary Eliza Rountree. Rulius and Mary were married on April 11, 1901. I don't know how many children they had together, but I do know they had my grandmother, whose name was Cora Darring. They also had George Washington Darring, Rulius Darring, Jr. and I believe they also had a son named William Darring. George was born August 10, 1910. George died in February 1985. If anyone has any info regarding this family, please help me. This family is from Fremont/Wayne/North Carolina. Some of them may have come from Black Creek/Wilson/North Carolina. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

As you know, this country is in the midst of restoring freedom to millions of people in the middle east, while at the same time spending billions of dollars here at home to secure the safety of the American homeland. All of this on top of a devastating attack on our people and our economy by radical islamic forces on 9-11. This came on the heels of an economic down-turn caused by the bursting economic bubble of the 1990's, and one of the major concerns of the American people right now is to control spending at the national level. The only comparable period in American history was the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the resulting military buildup during WWII. The major difference between these two periods seems to be that many Americans don't believe that any sacrifices need to be made during these times. In fact, some folks are intent on increasing spending, even at the expense of our vitally important defense needs. If we are serious about reducing the deficit and eliminating the spectre of inflation, it's time to realize that we have to prioritize our budget expendatures. Those of us who are involved in family history research feel that our projects should continue to be funded at previous levels. What genealogy needs is not more federal money, but more private donations and volunteers. In times like these, the people who benefit the most from protecting our historic records should take personal responsibility to restore and protect them.

We have just recently visited their gravesite and wrote down the dates from the tombstones. William was born on March 12, 1857 in Germany and died on January 12, 1936. He died in Wayne or Greene County, NC. Jennie (Jean) was born on April 26, 1861 and died on July 26, 1923. My Mother, who was named by her (Jean), said that everyone called her Jeannie. I have a copy of William, (we called him Pa Bill), and Jennie's Marriage License/Certificate. The dates are conflicting from the tombstone dates. Please email me and will exchange more information. I am new to this and don't know all the ropes. I don't subscribe to anything because I can't afford it.
