I'd like to invite you to check out my Web site - geared toward the history and genealogy of the Pennsylvania counties of McKean and Potter, and the New York counties of Allegany and Cattaraugus. Many have asked me to put something up - so here it is: www.happeningsinthehills.com. My site covers the four counties - census records, cemetery lists, history, vital records, photos, lists of societies, etc. I've also added a few items that I think make the site unique: Two Recommended Reading pages - one for works still available in print, the second for rare, out-of-print books that I recommend. The Calendar of Events lists activities being hosted by various genealogy and historical groups in the area. Anybody is free to post their event so if you belong to a group, or know of one, that needs a little publicity simply send them my way. History's Mysteries is a page of photos that I know very little about - maybe one of you can help. I'll have a monthly chat on various topics. Speakers for the next few months have been scheduled. If you'd like to be entered in the drawing for a free book simply sign the guestbook. I'll announce the winner at the first chat, in April. This idea of a drawing seems to be pretty popular, so probably for the first year I'll have a drawing each month. As you look over my site I would like to remind you that I am not a club or a society or a group. It's just me and it's been a lot of work thus far, and will continue to be. If you don't see something up right away please remember this. I am planning to update the site each Saturday night, so check back often to see what's been added. If you'd like to submit something please send me an email detailing the submission and I'll let you know if I can accept it. Anything genealogy or history related is fine. I would also like to add that there is no charge for my site. Happy Hunting! Maureen M. Lee maureen@happeningsinthehills.com http://www.happeningsinthehills.com

I am helping a cousin dispose of about 2500 postcards, most of which are from the 1905-1912 time frame. Today I came across four postcards that I am hoping to give to a descendant of those mentioned. The first is a postcard and the front of the card only has a photo of a woman. The back of the card, handwritten, reads: Euretta Coon, Died July 15th, 1909. The card is addressed to George Kenyon & wife of Shinglehouse (Potter County; Rev. Kenyon was a Seventh Day Baptist minister in that area of Potter County and into Allegany County, NY). The card has not been postally used, so there is no date, but as it is written that Euretta died 1909 I believe the card to be in that time frame. Also, the style of dress and hair fit that time period. The second card is a birth announcement. The front has a basket of flowers and reads: Congratulations are in order for we have a new star-boarder, Came by Dad Stork's Parcel Post Happy we to be its host. The handwritten name appears to be Analee Geneva, October 18th, Weight 10 lbs. The card is postally used, but the ink on the postmark is smeared so I cannot make it out, maybe 1920? The card is from Mr. and Mrs. Charles Saunders of Richburg, NY and was sent to Mrs. Floyd Reed of Shinglehouse, PA. This postcard was postmarked at Bolivar, NY. The third & fourth cards are also birth announcements, for the same baby, and both cards picture a stork carrying a baby. The cards have essentially the same info, but different art work and different wording. The first card has "A Welcome Gift" On April 17 at 7 a.m. a baby Whose name is to be Crandall William Was presented to Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Cowles Weight 9 lbs. Card has no writing on the back, so do not know the year. The second card says "Good News" The Stork has delivered to Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Cowles a brand new Boy baby. Birthday Apr 17 Hour 7 a.m. Weight 9 lbs. Name Crandall William. I would like to give these cards to a DESCENDANT, not somebody who collects turn-of-the-century postcards announcing birth and deaths. Please email me if you are interested. The cards are all in fantastic condition. Maureen Lee

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: LANGMADE CHENEY KING DAVIS BROWN HIGGINS WORDEN Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RRB.2ACE/6113 Message Board Post: There is no date, or newspaper mentioned. I am not related to this family, but if you would like a copy, I would be more than glad to get one for you. "On Monday, Feb. 10th, 1913 at her home in Delevan, Mrs. Janette Chaney fought to a triumphant finish the last battle in her heroic struggle against disease; and faithful, unto death, received the victor's crown. More than a year ago,she discovered the prescence or a dangerous form of cancer. At once she left for a Sanatorium in Michigan, and with a courage rare in one so frail, underwent the painful process of the non-surgical treatment. It is thought that the cure would have been completely successful had it not been for the deep grief caused by the death of a well loved daughter, Mrs. Belle King, last June. From that time, Mrs. Cheney steadily declined until called home by the Master she loved. She was born in the town of Yorkshire, April 17th, 1842, tenth child of the family of thirteen, her father the well known Dr. Wm. Langmade; and her mother , Laura David Langmade. On Aug. 18, 1863, she was married to Clark Abiel Cheney, who survives her. To them were born four children, Mrs. Sara Belle King, deceased last June',Mrs. Georgia Brown, of St. Marys, Pa., and Fred Cheney and Mrs. Myrna Higgins of Delevan. The home life of this family, founded nearly fifty years ago, was ideal. Life-long members of the M. E. Church, loyal to every duty, loving and kindly in all home relatives, blessed with children of splendid character, these two life pilgrims found life's journey one or rare sweetness. The penalty of unmarred compainionship is the necessary pain it its breaking; and those who know this family can appreciate the cost of such a parting as was theirs. The church was crowded with friends who braved the cold to testify their high regard for this life lived so well. Rev. H. M. Wilson afficiated, using the text: 'There remaineth therefore, a rest place for the people of God.' Internment in the beatiful cemetery at Delevan. Besides the immediate family, the nearest surviving relatives are three brothers, Mason Langmade of East Aurura, and Andrew and Daw Langmade of Delevan; and a sister, Mrs. Mary Worden, of this place"
I'm normally quiet on this list, but I need to speak up here -- Every doctor in the U.S. has an M.D. listed after his signature --is he advertising? No, he worked hard for that title and deserves to be proud of it. From what I have seen, nobody has tried to get anyone to spend any money --it takes a lot of work to become a professional genealogist and anyone who has achieved that standing deserves to use the title. Please, people --have a little more acceptance for the choices of others as long as they do not interfere with with your life. Our ancestors came here to have the freedom to be proud of who they were and what they accomplished --many have died or been permanently injured to preserve that freedom ---let's try to show our respect for all their efforts. I personally find the title reassuring--it lets me know the information is coming from a reliable source!!!! Just my opinion, Joyce A. Anthony
Tom, Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so I honor yours, but I belong to at least some of the same lists as you do. I have not seen anyone blatantly advertise their services on any of the lists I read. I have seen various people use signature lines, which is not uncommon. The person you are probably making reference to, has been posting information found in newspapers, which I would think might help people, especially people that descend from the subject in the article. She just recently posted one of those articles on one of my ancestors, which has suddenly made me realize where one of their children moved to, after I lost them out of the census. I don't want to start a flame on the list, as I'm sure you don't want to, but in my opinion, there has been no blatant advertisement that anyone has done on the list. In my opinion, everyone is entitled to use signature lines. If you look at the tag line used by NYAllega or NYCattar, you will realize that there is a tag line, similiar to personal signature lines, used in every e-mail that is sent.

Hi Folks, I really don't like to interfere with free flowing dialog on this message board. However, two recent and separate issues force me to reiterate one of the most important policies of this message board. It is UNACCEPTABLE for anyone to post a message that is derogatory, flames, inflames, abusive or otherwise attacks or demeans another subscriber. Having moderated boards, lists, and hosted chat forums for about 20 years, from early BBS's to AOL, and I have seen how quickly a resource deteriorates when personal attacks are left unchecked by the administrator. I have a low tolerance for such attacks. So I must step in here and reiterate one of the most important policies of this message board. Q. How should you deal with a post that you find offensive, or you don't think appropriate? A. Don't respond to the mailing list with a derogatory critique or an attack on the originator. Instead, direct your concerns to the list administrator at nycattar@rochester.rr.com. Q. How will I deal with inappropriate posts? A. You can't un-ring a bell. I can't go out an retrieve an inappropriate mailing from everyone's inbox. 1. Most inappropriate posts are inappropriate simply because the poster didn't understand the theme of this mailing list. These people just get a gentle reminder. Almost always that fixes the problem. 2. Where a post is inappropriate because it is directed at another subscriber, a notice is sent that I will monitor future posts from that individual before they get to the list. Repeat offenders will be unsubscribed. 3. Foul, abusive or hate language will get the poster unceremoniously and immediately unsubscribed, I have zero tolerance for that. Just to make sure that we all understand how this applies to two recent events. 1. If you belong to a genealogical group, and want to post a notice of a meeting, or anything else of genelogical interest, you are more than WELCOME to do so, EVEN IF your genealogical group is focused on some ethnicity or RELIGON. 2. If you are posting information of a genealogical nature, and want to sign your name as a professional genealogist, amateur genealogist, or The King of Siam, not a problem as long as the INFORMATION you are providing is useful and appropriate to this list I don't have an objection. If members of the list object, then they should email me, and if the objections rise to a significant level, I will reconsider my position. Ok, everyone, back to genealogy, y'all have a good day now. Dick Allen List Administrator NYCATTAR-L
My Swedish immigrant grandfather (and family) were found living in Carrollton in the 1892 N.Y. census. His occupation was listed as stone mason. Would anyone be able to offer me an insight as to what type of work would there be for a stone mason in c. 1892? I don't know that he had any formal training as a craft, but perhaps he simply was a man who worked in quarries? I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thank you. Sharon, Mn.

I've been a lurker on a couple of southern tier genealogical lists for a couple of years, only occasionally posting my interests. Recently there has been a porliferation of messages coming from one individual who characterizes herself as a professional genealogist. In my view this cheapens the list. Todays digest edition of the Cattaraugus County list had nine messages from that individual. Nine times we had to read that she sees herself as a professional genealogist. If this continues, I'll have to quit the lists. I don't care to be bombarded with incessant doses of thinly disguised and unwanted advertising. Its too bad that the lists have deteriorated to this. Tom.
Hi List: Does anyone have access to a marriage index for the Olean area???????? Robin

Hamann, son of William Hamann of McKinstry, succumbed to tuberculosis, after an illness of several months duration, in the 23rd year of his age. The deceased was a splendid specimen of physical manhood and remarkable for hardy endurance until two years ago when he suffered an attack of measles from which he never fully recovered. A few months ago, when engaged in making cheese at Napiersville, he caught a severe cold and tuberculosis set in with the result mentioned. Young Hamann was born in the town of Yorkshire on Feb. 2nd, 1887, and his life has been passed in this vicinity, either in farming or in cheese making, at which latter occupation he was very expert. He was a young man of steady habits and possessed of a high sense of honor and of the strictest integrity and beloved by all who knew him. The sorrow at his early death is universal in the communities where his life has been passed and the members of the family have the sincere sympathy of all Besides his father, he is survived by one brother, Alfred Hamann or East Shelby, and five sisters, Addie and Ruth Hamann of McKinstry, Mrs. Chas. Folts of Springville, Mrs. Elsie Hayes of East Machias and Mrs. Frank Kessler of Marble Springs. The funeral services were held at the McKinstry M. E. church on Wednesday afternoon, Rev. J. M.
