When we got there about midnight the Sunday before Christmas it was -16, at the end of a 672 mile day. The next morning it was -20. Then there was the wind.... Still our daughter had a blast. The uncles that she hung out with doted on her and she cried when she had to leave both of them. Even the animals bonded with her, the big malamute that took up the whole sofa upon coming inside to see her, was loving enough to ride with her in a pull behind a tracked vehicle's sled. The relatives enriched Hannah Montana as most everything had her logo on it, that our daughter had asked Santa to provide. We left Monday to return home. Tuesday my wife talked with her brother, who informed her that they had had 10 inches of snow overnight, the winds picking up to blizzard conditions. The roads were so white the friend of his who drives the county snowplow ended up in the ditch. Yesterday morning, the 31st, it was -30. So we selected the correct time to leave. Now, I'm trying to get an answer on why the query forms won't work or will have to seek an alternative form. Next, I'll have to work on notices and try to figure out what to concentrate on for each web site. The story continues. Tim

Loved the picture. Now that is a snowbear!!!! We set a record here about 2/3 weeks ago. It had not snowed in 19 years and we got .4 inches of snow. Lots of snowman pictures in the newspaper. It would have taken the whole neighborhood to get one as big as your snowbear. Still looking for my Content and Rachel Andrews. If anyone has a Content or Rachel married roughly 1805, give or take a few years, in Chenango Co. and you don't have their last names, let me know. Maybe by chance it could be my Content or Rachel. I know they were alive in 1812. I don't know if they were married.

All, First and foremost, happy new year! To start off 2009, I have recently uncovered a bit of a genealogical mystery and I am hopeful that someone on the list has ties to this family or could help me out. I have long assumed that my great grand aunt Ellen BOYDEN GLYNN was widowed and raising her son (Willis A. GLYNN) alone, that she then died and the boy was adopted by her sister and husband, and that Willis then died at 17. The evidence for this was that in the 1880 census for Plymouth, NY there was a listing for Ellen (but no husband) and her son (aged 1) living with her sister Mary BOYDEN and other siblings. By 1900 Ellen is no longer on any census, Willis A. Glynn does not appear on any census, but on a tombstone in East Pharsalia Cemetery next to Mary BOYDEN FRANKLIN and her husband is a stone for Willis A., adopted by Mary and Burdette FRANKLIN, aged 17 dated November 17, 1895. The natural assumption from all of this was that Mary adopted her nephew (with whom she was already living) on her sister's death and that he died at 17. You can imagine my surprise when a few weeks ago I came across an obituary for William Anderson GLYNN, son of Ellen BOYDEN and Charles GLYNN of Plymouth, NY -- and he died in 1944! From my research, I believe that this is the "Willis A. Glynn" from the 1880 census and that the "Willis A." on the tombstone was a completely different person who happened to have the same first two names. Another theory is that there were two children but that one was born just after the 1880 census was taken, and that one was "Willis" and the other "William". The former passed away and the latter lived to adulthood. Anyway, clearly more research is needed to try and pin this down, but in connection with that I was curious if anyone had ties to this family: Charles A. GLYNN was born in Oct 1855 in New York to Charlotte and Anderson GLYNN. He died between 1900 and 1944. Charles married Ellen BOYDEN daughter of Bradford A. BOYDEN and Maryette BRUCE. Ellen was born on 11 Aug 1859 in New York. She died between 1880 and 1900. They had William Anderson GLYNN who was born on 25 Jul 1877. He died on 17 May 1944 in Norwich, PA. He was buried on 20 May 1944 in Cook's Falls, NY. William was employed as Railroad Forman in 1910 in Norwich, NY. William first married Maud E. [surname unknown] in 1898. They were divorced before 1910. Maud was born in Dec 1879 in New York to a New York mother and Irish father. Maud and William had two children, one who was unknown and likely died as a baby and Melville J. GLYNN. Melville was born on 7 Nov 1898 in New York. He died in Jul 1965 in California. Melville was employed as a "Train Man" in 1920 in Oneonta, NY. According to a newspaper article, he was a member of the National Guard based in Oneonta, NY. Melville married Ruth [surname unknown] . Ruth was born in 1902 in New York. In addition to his marriage to Maud whom he divorced, William later married Viola COOK in 1912. Viola was born in 1876 in New York. That is all I have uncovered so far on this family. I'm hoping someone can help me with this New Year's mystery! Best, Neil
