Sue Ellen -- yes newspapers are one of the greatest and especially in our ancestors times <grin> -- every little tidbit is "published". My grandfather stated he left home in 1889 at age 14 when his mother died and never went back until 1932 when his father died. Well, lo and behold, going through some old Jennings County newspapers and in 1898 was an item that "Romie Waughtel was visiting relatives in this area" (grandfather's name was Rome). I now type up the 1880 & the 1890 newspaper "tidbits" for the Jennings County List lady for her input onto the page. What better way to find the names connected to my Waughtel name in that general area especially.

I, for one, don't post all that much, but do read any message that comes across. Vacations etc do take up time. Want my Itinerary ??? Went to Salt Lake City for a week, then last week used time to put paperwork in binders and input in FTM from these papers. This week, since our rental is empty, and very handy as right across the street, there is mucho work to do over there. Tenants moving in in November so have time really, but so much to do. My granddaughter who is in CA is expecting her second baby first week of November and which I will be going down there for prox week to help her out as she also has a 15 month old daughter (one of my namesakes - Victoria Antoinette) and then her husband gets discharged and they are moving into our rental. So a few reasons <grin> And then I am sure my daughter Sabrina (who had stayed with us during all her radiation & chemo) is back at her home doing much much better and is homeschooling her Anthony this year and has just purchased a computer, mainly for his school work and to keep up her knowledge in order to help him, and I know she will be joining this list as soon as her internet service is connected (sent check in yesterday) as she knew all the help that I have received from this list - both from computer point of view and mental health point of view -- a tremendous for help in any type of need and any time -- I think Joan has summed it up quite nicely. Take care, and hang in there!! Antoinette waughtel@oz.net Joan Little wrote: > Bill, > > I am replying to all, to express my thoughts. This is a busy time of year > for most of us, I am sure.

You might try this one for information. saw a little ad for them in new magazine. I havent looked it over yet. Suppose to have lots of inf on where to find things. www.research-uk.com I used the LDS records in the local library to find mine from Church of England. You could also try their site, some of the baptisms are on line there too, but not all of them. My great-grandma's is not there yet, but was in the LDS files on microfiche. www.familysearch.org Sue Ellen "Life is what happens while you are making other plans"

Hi all, Know I have talked about this before, but with my summer of great finds I wanted to mention it again for all the newcomers. Get out there and find those local newspapers of your ancestors areas. Take time to read them, and study the papers. It is very time consuming YES! But the rewards are greater. This summer I had little free time to research and I spent it reading the old papers. I even found the notices of building the first roads in Butler county KS area. It had to be published in the local paper to be voted upon. Then I found my great great grandfather had ran for county commissioner and won the vote. So I went backwards to the beginning of the notices of the upcoming elections, and followed through to the end of his time in office. It was great. He is praised, by those supporting him. He is bashed by those "again him", much like today. One group says he is "Ringed into office" another said "HOG WASH." After he left office he is praised by all and wished a happy life. Not much different than today right? Then he became associated with the Wichita Stockyards as a stock commissioner, and there is Big ad in paper about that. The Wichita paper tells a story of one day the railroad gang pulled a joke on him, by switching cars and sending him to another village, when he was going to downtown Wichita on a stock car. They say B.H. didnt find it as funny as they did, when he ended up 30 miles away and had to wait for next train south. Would you want to miss out on such stories of your ancestor? Find those old newspapers. They are wonderful! Sue Ellen "Life is what happens while you are making other plans"

Bill, I am replying to all, to express my thoughts. This is a busy time of year for most of us, I am sure. People doing fall chores, going on fall vacations, etc., etc. This may be part of the problem?? As you well know, I don't contribute that much to the list. I guess it is too easy to just sit back and read what the others submit. My mailing lists consists of a lot of surname lists. So - I guess we members need to think about just what we do want. Do we want this list to continue? Then it is up to us to use it for our genealogy and, also, for our computer problems which arise now and then when doing our genealogy. I, for one, will try to be more involved. This list has been good to me.

Yes I stumbled across another great site for printing out forms of all kinds too. They have some I have never used. Was fun just to browse the selections. Sue Ellen www.familytreemagazine.com

Hi I have a relative that was born in Wales around 1879. Her obit said that she was baptised in the Church of England. Are there baptismal records on line for the Church of England? What is the best way to proceed in finding her baptism? Thanks Mary mertzeng@netins.net .

I hope you don't quite. I don't say much because I don't know much. Few times I have said anything it's like open mouth insert foot. BUT hey I'm learning. I've had a great deal of success in finding the family tree. (one that has had many grafts) I've found out that in all the years that I've said I was a little bit of everything and mostly devil I wasn't so far off. So let me take the opportunity to Thank everyone who has helped me directly and indirectly.

Some time ago, there was a discussion of a book about the travel conditions, and sometimes violence on early pioneer roads and trails. I thought I had kept the name of the book, but can't seem to find it. Does anyone remember? Patricia
