Hi Linda - There is a Presbyterian Cemetery in Woodbury (I think it is unoffically called the Tatem Cemetery because it is on land that was donated by a John Tatem) that is called (again I think!) the "Presbyterian Burying Ground" in Woodbury. The Gloucester Historical Society directed me there and we made an appointment with the Presbyterian Church to get keys to visit the cemetery. It is still kept up and gated. This was about 10 years ago. The Historical Society was very helpful and it was through their records that I found the burial of several ancestors, It would be a good place for you to check for your ggggrandmother's burial. They have a website, but I don't know it off hand; but you could also write them and I believe they will check their files for you (at least they did for me about 10 years ago when I was preparing to visit, a small donation would be helpful!). I hope this helps somewhat! Ginny <<Is there a cemetery in/near Woodbury that dates back to 1842 when my ggggrandmother died. She was Margaret (Taber Sparks) FIRTH d. age 73 on April 6, 1842 at the home of her son-in-law Mark WARE in Woodbury.>>

Could anyone tell me if the Chewville Methodist Church is still exists or if there are records for it that would go back to the mid 1800s? If so, where? Carol Indianapolis

Candee, I have a book called "More Forgotten Towns Of Southern New Jersey" which has a bit about the Clevenger brothers glass works, even a photo. If you like I will, probably in several emails, write down what it says and send it to you. I can scan the photo and email that too if you like. Let me know.

A fellow researcher suggested I post a query to the list about my CLEVENGER ancestors. Does someone know about a Clevenger Brothers glass making business in the area? My Clevengers settled in New Jersey in the 1600s and moved to Virginia and points west. Would love to learn about them. Candee

Hi Folks, I'm one of the "background" subscribers who thinks portions of my ancestors may be mentioned on the mailing list but otherwise have little to contribute. I'm also a great believer in the mailing list concept since many of us may be researching common ancestors and have much to share - or else come across sites beneficial to others. (I've been at this for over 33 years.) The "beneficial" portion is the reason for my coming to the surface so to speak. Copyright laws are very simple - the life of the author plus 70 years. I'm aware of this simply because, as a member of another mailing list, I had a copy of a book tracing families in a Kentucky county to the late 1700's. I knew the author personally, she signed our book, and she died in the late 1980's. The company that printed the book went out of existence in the early 1990's. Innocently, I started to transcribe portions of the book to the mailing list for the county under the assumption that it would never be re-published and the information therefore lost. What I failed to realize was that the heirs of the author had copyright privileges to the book for seventy years after her death. When I was informed of this I immediately stopped the transcriptions. Its important to realize that simply because something is posted to the Internet does not make it legal to re-distribute. Its also important to realize that everything you come across cannot be legally posted to the Internet. Finally - to quote Rodney King (was that his name from the L.A. riots?) - "Can't we all just learn to get along?" ;-) John Cresseveur - KY (31 years in NJ, past 19 here in KY) ----- Original Message ----- Subject: [NJGLOUCE] Complaint on my Submission Subj: Re: [NJGLOUCE] Genealogy Date: 02/07/2000 9:46:07 AM Mountain Standard Time Dear __________> There are another two things wrong with the internet - anonymity & copyright violations.

INTERNET GENEALOGY - WHAT'S GOOD! WHAT'S NOT! . . . AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? by Bettie Cummings Cook, CG [Published in The Packet, Tri-State Genealogical Society, Evansville, IN, vol.XXII, no. 2 (Dec. 1998)] Before computers there were two kinds of genealogists. The experienced and the beginners. The experienced passed their knowledge to the beginners. The "experienced" covered degrees of knowledge from more than a beginner to years of work in the field. The work was too new to the beginner to do much adventuring except acquire blank family charts, work at finding dates and places, and take advantage of seminars, classes, and advice from friendly experienced genealogists. They learned as they went along about where, and how, to look for dates and places. If they did rush to judgment those who had worked at the problem longer quickly called them to task. They were usually chastised sufficiently to be more careful with future endeavors. Still--they learned and eventually passed into being experienced. Enter the undeserving villain . . . Internet Genealogy! What's Good! With the addition of the computer to the home the experienced genealogist became a computer-user and continued to apply his work habits and expertise with the aid of the computer. The world of the Internet opened boundless possibilities of accessing records to the genealogist. Email is an amazing convenience to make contact with others and receive an answer within minutes. The knowledge to be gained on subjects without leaving your chair is staggering. The genealogical sites of interest range from very interesting to ho-hum. There are records of federal, state, and local levels of government, library card catalogs, resource files that are easily downloaded, and sites dedicated to specific records such as land, marriages, etc. If you have great grandpa's gun he carried in the Civil War, you can learn about its make, model, and manufacturer by consulting a website on Civil War guns. An antique piece of furniture handed down in the family may be identified as to its age and maker from sites that discuss descriptive markings, styles, and time periods. You are not confined to US searches. Research on a family said to have owned and operated a winery in Germany led to a list on a German web site of existing wineries. Think of a subject and, except in rare instances, Internet has some data. What's Not! The Internet has developed a new group of family searchers. Unfortunately, the experienced genealogist is in the minority. There is new group of persons who know first how to use a computer and second want to locate others who can give them information about their families. Notice I do not call the second group genealogists because they are lacking in the skills to prepare them for productive research. Before Internet this person would have been the beginner genealogist sitting across the table from you in a library. The computer-user/researcher cruises the Internet hoping to find his family tree, unaware there is a more accurate way to find it using primary records. The cruiser, who in the past would have had no recourse except to go a genealogical library and learn the skills, now sets up a webpage or a newsgroup in quest of the answers. He contributes uncited "merry-go-round" bits to others. His heart is in the right place but his ability to do research is not. He is totally oblivious to the fact he is doing more harm than good both to himself and others. Is it ever safe to use undocumented material found on the Internet? Not unless you verify it first with proper sources. Some of it may be right but how much faith can you put in rehashed, regurgitated, uncited data? A typical appeal looks like . . . "my grandfather died July 4, 1920. Does anyone know who his parents were?" or "my Great Grandfather was John Right born 1848. He married Jane ?. They lived in New County and had seven children. I don't know their names . . . ." Most of us quickly assess these queries as being from beginners. And ask ourselves why haven't you looked in a census? Why don't you write for a marriage bond? Why don't you get a death certificate? Why are you taking up byte space and my time to read this unskilled query? It is easier to ignore this query than deal with it. But where will this searcher turn next? To undocumented websites, forums, and various tree programs on the 'Net. He finds and records incorrect data and passes it to another person. Thus, the data is repeated in the name of "helping"for the next twenty-five years. No one knows the data's origins but will not discard it because "it might be something." Recently a friend was horrified to learn an ancestor, to whom she devoted years of work in order to identify his parents, had been added to a different set of parents with the same surname on an Internet site. The data was added by a computer-user/searcher because his ancestor had a son by the same name. Now if you have any experience at all, you know how many times several men can have the same name! After a number of determined phone calls to everyone responsible for the error, she succeeded in having it removed. But not until she proved to the website her ancestor was a different man and sent an obituary for the correct man to prove he had died in another state. And worse, her well-documented work on the son and his descendants was included on the website. It had been contributed by still another person without giving credit to her for the work. It gave every appearance of being a good genealogy with citations . . . except for the one link between parents and the right son. This example of assuming and combining data to make a family "fit" ought to make you shudder. What Are We Going to Do About It? One of the most agreeable attributes of genealogists is their willingness and unselfishness in sharing data. Some of the nicest people one could ever hope to meet share my enthusiasm for research. We regale each other endlessly with our "finds." The faceless aspect of the Internet keeps us from the personal evaluation of others that takes place in a face to face encounter. The truth is, there are a very few unpleasant folks in genealogy. So it is hard to think ill of those pursuing their families on the Internet without research experience. If we could talk to them, we would treat them as we would the beginner sitting next to us in the library. So how do we treat a faceless beginner on the Internet? WE HELP THEM. Not by sending all the answers but by pointing out where they should look to find the answers. This person needs the experience of looking at a microfilmed census. Don't deny him the thrill of finding grandfather's death certificate for himself. There's no better way to convert the beginner to learning research skills than for him to make an exciting discovery. TELL them data must have citations. Let your data be good examples by always clearly citing your source. Give county, book, and page from which the record was taken. Cite published book sources with title, compiler, publisher, year published, and page. INSIST on receiving the same citations from others. Contact the websites, newsgroups, and databases and encourage them to ask for citations. Kindly and tactfully point out to web searchers information is useless without documentation. Direct them to local libraries and genealogical collections. Tell them what genealogical societies have to offer. Beginners are often under the mistaken notion that because they live far away from their ancestor's residence there is nothing in their locale of any use. Net-cruisers who are interested in genealogy must be made aware of how much they accomplish by using source records and learning skills necessary to locate family data. Finding a cousin is fine but no matter how much the cousin can tell you it still has to be verified. My posting to a surname website encourages everyone to cite his or her data. 1 am careful to post cited items and explain there is more to be found by examining that record. It is beginning to show results. The web master was reluctant to post my first message regarding citations for fear it might offend someone. Surprisingly (to him) some readers of the site wrote and agreed. The surname site is developing into a source of information. It is a website of various documented records on the same surname from many states and, if you share that surname, is one worth visiting because most postings bear citations. One of the main features of Internet is the broad coverage of the county. For the experienced genealogist, it is this aspect of reachable records in many states that is most useful and one that needs to be developed. Let us think past the materials found on the bookshelf of any genealogical collection and begin to build sites that represent our county's records. The flood of incorrect data making the rounds on the 'Net is growing. It is comparable to undocumented family genealogies, early DAR records, and early LDS family files. Both DAR and LDS are making efforts to correct their early files. The 'Net has no one to guide it except experienced genealogists who care. We can no longer afford to ignore the unskilled query. Few of us have the inclination, or want to take the time, to deal with the unskilled and the inexperienced 'Net searchers. Someone is going to have to step up to the flood and help with the sandbags. If each of us concentrates on improving the site concerning our surname, or a site under the sponsorship of our local group, together we can make a difference. We must make an effort to deal with this growing problem. Get on your soapbox for the sake of good genealogy on the Internet!

I hope this can help someone. I was just on yahoo auctions and someone named antiquescollectiblesaz, is selling a documen for a Wheelwright Indeinture. The person's name was George Black son of Samual Black indentured to a man named Philp Pew. Hope this helps someone. Lori

Where do I find this kind of record? I sure hate xxx! Doesn't everybody? Of these, question number two is the one that sems to generate the most responses, and not just on the discussion lists. The Web is replete with bibliographic data showing readers where to go (both on- and offline) to find the data they need in their research. There are any number of general purpose reference sites, but to find the answers to some specific questions you often need to follow a trail from a website with wider appeal down through links to find the answer to your specific question. Non-conformists (non-Anglican protestants) were rampant in Wales, and the Society of Friends was no exception. Although smaller than some other denominations, Quakers enjoyed wide geographic popularity among the Welsh, with meetings throughout the realm. So if you have Quaker ancestors from Wales, how do you find their church records? One place to start is GENUKI -- the premier site for genealogy in the United Kingdom and Ireland. From there it's a relatively simple process to follow the links to the section for Wales, then church records, and on to Quakers and other non-conformists. What you will find is that while Friends in Wales might form a distinct group, with records that can be delightfully revealing to genealogists, those records are scattered among an array of county record offices in both Wales and England. The bibliography, compiled by the Quaker Family History Society, describes in detail the locations and dates of the Quaker meetings in Wales, and which repositories now have custody of the records. In addition you will find links to other QFHS Web pages describing Quaker records and their use. Of course, the actual research will still be up to you. But a visit to this informative website wil provide you with a good foundation on which to base your efforts.

Hi Listers, I just came across a site from Cyndis List that might be helpful in locating current funeral homes. Try http://www.heavenlydoor.com You need to enter the zip code of the general area you are searching, but it does list a number of places. Good luck! Joan

Hi, I'm new to the list and was wondering if anyone has come across the FITE (or FIGHT) surname in Gloucester Co. of the 1700's and early 1800's. I have found this family in the Menantico area of the Maurice River Township of Cumberland County, but I believe at some point that area was included in Gloucester County. I have traced my line back to Philip Jacob FITE alias BAKER and his wife Margaret. They had at least two sons, b. ca. 1780, Philip FITE and Christopher FITE (there may be other sons Conrad and John.) Philip FITE then had son John FITE b. ca. 1800. I know of the well-known Johannes FITE line of Sussex County, NJ, but have not found any connection between them and my FITE line. John FITE m. Rebecca Lippincott ca. 1820 and moved his family to Millville, NJ and changed the family surname to BETHELL. Any additional information on the FITE line in Gloucester Co. would be appreciated. Thanks. Nancy

The Courier Post building, as long as I can remember is on Cuthbert Rd in Cherry Hill, right off Rt 38 and I was born in the 50's.

Hi all, I wrote this to all these lists on purpose, so bear with me. I just got off the phone a little while ago with my brother-in-law in NJ. He told me that someone who corresponds with me (or knows of me) on/about genealogy knows my husbands cousin. The scenario is someone from Tennessee visited his cousin, Tammy Conley, in Medford, NJ. This person asked Tammys mother (Marie Mason) what her maiden name was and she told her DeMore. Then this person told Marie that she knew a Demore in TX from genealogy and Marie asked what the name was and was told Diane DeMore and Marie told her "Oh, that's my nephews wife!!!!". Problem: my brother-in-law can't remember the name of this person. Small world, if you're out there, let me know, I really think this is neat. Would be interested in how you know Tammy.
