Does anyone know a William (Bill) Ladd of Cortland? The email address I have for him bounced as user unknown. He was offering to do lookups in Madison and perhaps Cortland county for Seventh Day Baptists. Thanks, Tim

Hello Tim, Yes, the Upper Cincinnatus Cemetery is off of North Main Street, within the town of Cincinnatus. Go north past the school, just a couple of houses down, the roadway to the cemetery is to the left. If I can be of any help regarding the cemetery, let me know.

I've spent part of the weekend reorganizing my computer files - lots more to go but still trying to figure out what's what, what I've forgotten and so forth. Over the years I've tried to keep emails that contain submissions of data be it one surname, photograph, attached file, whatever, in a subdivided folder by location. Due to a couple of hard drive crashes, some email got lost, even though I have the attached documents or photos. Some of the emails in said catergory have long ago been added to the web sites, while others patiently await their turn. A reorganization was way overdue so I could find out what has been added, what has not, so I could start tearing through the material and placing it online. Unfortunately when one receives a submission of data, it may not be in a form I can either read, open or decipher and time must be spent trying to do so. Once that is done, material must then be formatted to go onto the web site. This too may take some time depending on the size of the file sent and how much must be done to make it viewable in a coherant format. I'm still slowly working on a book sent to me a few years back as it needs nearly every line in the 400 plus page book formatted. As the three New York sites contain the bulk of the pages I host (66%), so too are they the bulk of the submitted data (58%). As I was trying to sort out all this stuff, I did stumble across a couple of listings of marriage records for Chenango, that I shall put on the front burner and go from there. For the moment the total for Cortland County is small, since I just started hosting it in the past few months. Please remember that these totals do not reflect data actually to go online, nor how much, for each individual email must be reviewed to see what its status is first, then either placed in the 'done' pile or the 'to do' pile. At present the total emails to be reviewed are: Chenango - 514 (1997-2004) Cortland - 7 (2003-2004) Madison - 286 (1997-2004) I still have many other items on-site - ie - here on my desk to go online as well - census, books, etc. Now to get to it.

Thanks to the kind contribution of Dick von Briesen, we now have the Gillett cemetery listing on the Cortland site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nycortla/cemetery/gillett.htm Tim Stowell [email protected] Chattanooga, TN The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

A little while ago I mentioned I had an 1895 Cortland Standard. It seems to be a list of businesses. I thought that if I listed the names of people, maybe it would help someone.

All the people listed are Mrs ___: Holden, Cobb, Heath, Squires, Clark, Harrington, Duffey, Curtis, Cheney, Doud, Peck, Gleason, Crone, Hitchcock, Perkins, Buck, McGraw Women's Auxilliary of the YMCA- photo Miss Wells, Miss Collins, Miss Oday, Mrs Webb, Miss Lovell, Mrs Birdwell, Mrs Blodgett, Mrs Smith, Mrs Angell, Miss Johnson, Mrs Mc Kinney, Miss Haines, Mrs Johnson, Mrs Robertson, Mrs Sherwood, Miss Crombie, Mrs Phelps, Miss Adams, Miss Darby, Mrs Higgins, Mrs Osterhout, Mrs Stockwell, Miss Bliss, Mrs Miller, Miss Jagger, Miss Hoskins, Mrs Jones, Miss Bond, Mrs Wilson, Mrs Melvin, Miss Wathers, Miss Curtis, Miss Grant, Mrs Marshall, Mrs Brownewell, Miss Watkins, Miss Force and Miss Cleary Pastors of local churches, later on there is a photo of the men with their wives: 1st Cong Church: Rev William Pound 1st Presby: Rev J.

The other magazine I have is the Cortland County Review Jan 1, 1915. A Review of the Agricultural and Industrial Resources of Cortland Co. When I have more time, I will list what is contained. Valerie in NJ

Among the effects of my aunt, my cousin and I found the following magazines. Why they were kept we don't know, but there are photos of different area merchants etc. Industrial Edition Cortland Standard Dec 1895 Story about the Cortland Hospital; -Churches of the area Cortland pastors are featured G.P Beaudry and the children with their bicycles. Other people and businesses are featured. Valerie in NJ

Now that I see mail coming through - the list was down from about 7/3 until this afternoon. The server which houses several lists croaked. Rootsweb did say that they don't think any mail was lost as a result - and messages posted in the last few days will start filtering through as they go through the backlog. ------------------------------------------------------via webmail---- Tim Stowell [email protected]

I have no idea as to what is the basis for such action and no idea as to why members of this board were not kept informed about any and all actions leading up to the matter reported below.

I'm thinking that I must not understand what GenWeb is..... I thought this was volunteer work, but how do you suspend a volunteer?? And what in the world could you do that would merit a suspension?? Laura Bent

Listers, I am also quite stunned at receiving the post regarding Tim. The reply that was supposedly from Tim, did not sound like Tim. So I am wondering was that message legit, or not fearful of a hoax, am of the fraduelent email going around, which folks get, such claiming to be from administrators and all types of things. If there is a chance it could be that, do not click on the active link contained in first one that is supposedly for administrator etc. advisory deal. Also check out the subject line, that is a bit suspicious. Hoping it is not true, that subject line just not right??? Of all the lists I receive and administrators of, Tim is fantastic.

I guess I do not understand the reason for this. Could some kind soul explain what is going on?
