List Owner: Is there someway that "spiel" about gatewayed messages could come at the end of the message rather than at the beginning? Most of the messages are short and the message takes the whole first screen. I don't care where the message came from; I just want to read it quickly. Marie

I have written a short history of the Methodist-Episcopal Church in America. There were plenty of these churches in Albany County and the surrounding region. The name of this church has been confusing to me since it combines the names of two major religions in the US. However, I learned that the word Episcopal simply means that bishops are part of the hierarchy of the church. Methodist-Episcopal was the first official name of the Methodist Church in this country. The church began as a lay movement of Methodist migrants, but John Wesley wouldn't send any ordained ministers from England until after the American Revolution. The church gained recognition in 1785. Two African branches separated due to racial mistreatment, and a large branch left because the church "would not grant representation to the laity or permit the election of presiding elders". Then, disagreement over the slavery issue broke the remaining church into northern and southern branches. In 1939, the three non-African branches re-united to form the Methodist Church. This summarizes some major events of the Methodist-Episcopal Church. To read a bit more, go to my brief article. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clifflamere/Ch/CH-MethEpisc-History.htm There, you will find links to much more extensive histories. Cliff

Surnames: Dings Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/VRB.2ACE/1718 Message Board Post: I am a descendant of Hiram Dings born in Austerlitz New York July 15th. 1824?? My great grandmother was Lois Alice Dings, daughter of Hiram J Dings (son of Hiram). The family had moved to Alford MA around 1840, where they mostly remain today I believe in the Great Barrington area. I see that many Dings were in Columbia county NY every since Jacob dings arrived in the 1700's. I'm trying to find out who Hiram's father was and if Jacob is an ancester in this lineage. Any idea where to find birth records would be greatly welcome.

I can't imagine why you should be criticized. I love it! I like all the Palatine info. Your Dederich line and mine intersect in the first generation. I have bookmarked it for much future perusing. Congrats!!

I am searching for the parents of John P. Shaver born 9 Aug 1785 and Ann Maria Melius born 9 March 1799 in Columbia County. They were married 15 Feb 1823. Thanks, Nan
