I finally have e-mail up and running, but I don't have FTP access installed on the new box yet. Which means I can't update the system yet. Vicki
Finally may have found my Hall connection to the Thornton and Harrington families in the area: >From the Greene History recently posted on the GenWeb site for Chenango Co: S. H. HARRINGTON commenced the drug business in the fall of 1870, in company with H. C. HALL Hall is a rather common name, so it might not be right. However, a lead is a lead, right? If anybody has anything on these 2 people, like their first names, please contact me. Vicki Hall Titus CC Broome and Cortland Co. GenWeb

The Pitcher section of the 1869 - 70 Chenango County Business directory is now online - http://www.rootsweb.com/~nychenan/69ptcher.htm The interesting part about this section is that many of the names are for Cortland County areas (Cincinnatus and Union Valley). One new to me occupation or item - Dickerson & Blackman props. of hame factory. I don't know what a hame is/was. I'm leaving the country this weekend and am hoping to be back the following weekend.

A question came up at work yesterday concerning middle names. Hopefully one of these Genealogy lists can help to answer it for me. Why do people have middle names? What was the origin? According to one lady from Greece, she claimed Europeans do not have middle names. Does anyone know anything about this??? Thank you very much. Anne

I've tweaked the color background on Nelson just a hair to make it easier to view. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nymadiso/1868dir.htm and have added the update to Community News regarding the Madison County Civil War Round Table's latest meeting for this month. If you know of some group meeting for historial or genealogy purposes please send it along to me so that others may know by reviewing the Chenango or Madison web sites. Thanks! Tim
Over the last few days I've added the listings from the Madison County directory for 1868-69 for the Towns of Fenner and Nelson - http://www.rootsweb.com/~nymadiso/1868dir.htm Nelson has a new background that I'm testing and I would appreciate some feedback in that regard. I've recently retired from one major time sink in hopes it will give me more time to dedicate to what I truly enjoy - putting info online for you good folk. In reviewing my to do pile - and it is a big one - I realized I've yet to complete my series of my March visit so to that end I'll work on getting that to you shortly. On the Chenango side the town of Oxford is currently being transcribed from the 1869-70 directory and should be online shortly. This will be followed by Pitcher, Sherburne and Smyrna. As my summer and fall calms down I hope to be adding even more stuff to the sites. Tim Stowell

Hi, I am just starting my research on this line. Is there anyone else on the list who is interested in Rufus and/or Abraham ROSA (aka ROSE)? Charmaine arkivemom@aol.com

Now those Sweets - that wouldn't be Eber Sweet (father and a shoe maker) and Eber Sweet (son, who was a tombstone carver) who lived in Virgil, would it? There were and Eli and Galsuha Sweet in the tombstone shop also. Here's some of what I have (scroll down to Eber Sweet): http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyccazen/Tombstones/UpstateNYCarversNotes.html Dan W.

Oops, dummy me, I should have said one of the last three of the major mill buildings in Cazenovia Village - I forgot the 1912 Atwell Feed Mill on Albany Street near the Creek. Dan W. I have just begun receiving reports that one of the largest buildings in Cazenovia, the old Crawford Mower Works, better known as the Canning Factory, the former GLF (Grange League Federation) and former Agway Mill, was destroyed by an explosion and fire today. Aside from being one of the last two major old mill buildings in Cazenovia Village (the 1834 Buyea hardware store is the oldest), it was one of my favorite research projects and was one of my favorite pieces of architecture. For those of you in Onondaga Co. you might find it of particular interest as at least the ground floor was the design of Syracuse Architect, Archimedes Russell. here are two links to my stories of the old building: http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyccazen/Shorts/PaperMill.html http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyccazen/Shorts/CrawfordMower.html Dan W.
