In reading through the suggestions digest versus List, messages. I am weary of trying to read through the messages in digest form where they have replied and left the complete set of messages in the reply. As you notice I have deleted all the messages from Vol 1 Issue 56 to make this response I have been trying to read through soritng by color. I am going to change to the list format and see if that is easier I also think there has been an increase in messages because Rene suggested roll call, an eveyone had responded. I didn. I hope it will calm down. Thanks Rene and Joyce for making this list and the website so effective.

My Deborah Ann Durphy(Durfey?) was b. 15 Jan 1827 in Delaware Co, according to the NY census...but then...on her daughter's census entry in 1910 in Ct., it says Florence Griffin's mom (Deborah Ann Durphy/Durfey?)) was born in Rhode Island...... Now there were tons of Durfees in RI...and some went west of course. In 1840, there is a Joseph Durfeye in HArpersfield, Delaware Co, NY...in 1810 there is a Stephen Durphy in Greene Co, Cairo....maybe on his way out to Delaware Co...both possible leads for me. In RI in 1790...up to 1810, there are 4 Joseph Durfees in RI...then in 1820, the number is down...could be that some died...but why would Deborah's daughter say her mom was born in RI when the 1840 NY census says she was born in Delaware Co, NY? Any ideas out there? Anyone know about Durphys/(Durfeees/Durfeys, and any other spelling the census person decided to use) in HArpersfield and their possible migration from RI? My Deborah Ann was supposed to be Irish.. but that could have been her mom was irish and her Durfphy came from the Quaker Durfeys of RI.........my grandmother (great grandaughter of Deborah Ann Durphy Griffin) used to say Deb was Irish but I don't trust my grandmother...she had lots of old fashioned prejudices....the Durfees in Ri I think came from France 1st? I don't know that story.... Are there any living Durphys in Delaware Co?...any descendents of this Joseph..or of Stephen? Perhaps Joseph and Stephen were new arrivals...

Carol, I do not have any Oscar Simonsons or Conklins or Turners. My Roll Call names were Simonson, McLean, Decker I had email from Steve Russell we exchanged notes and I have not heard back from him. I believe you might have a better chance of connecting with his Simonson line. slr@slrussell.com I have info on Decker family thru Greene and Delaware Counties, and a Mayflower connection. I wish you would mention a few of your Deckers with dates. Also there is a Decker Family book at Vetter Library, Greene County Town of Coxsackie. I can give you info if you want to contact them. They will do some research and I believe, at a reasonable price. Our Decker line ended in Roxbury, Delaware Co and they are in the Methodist church cemetery at Grand Gorge. George W. Decker b 1806 and wife Nancy Hannah McLean b 1806. Roy

If you get the digest version in the MIME format, you can do all those things easily. Each message comes as a separate attachment, if you open one it's just like getting a separate email and you can reply to it or print it individually. You can also drag the message from the email's attachment list to one of your folders and save it like an individual email. The MIME digest version includes one attachment for each message plus one listing the subjects of the messages and one with a "footer" giving info on how to unsubscribe and how to contact the administrator. I don't normally open the attachment with the subjects because they are also in the attachment list of the message. -----Original Message----- From: N & K Chestnut [mailto:nkopportunity@gorge.net] Sent: Saturday, October 21, 2006 7:01 PM To: nydelawa@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NYDELAWA] I like mine one at a time, also. For me one at a time is better, although seldom do I read only the Subject Line. For me that makes moving it to a folder or printing it and even replying to it much easier.

I hope this goes through - may not because I'm using my web mail instead of my regular mail. But I respectfully disagree with John. As long as the subject is relevent, I feel it is much easier to control individual messages than to wade through a digest, most of which may not be of interest. I simply delete based on subject. It is also much easier to save the few messages that are of special interest if they come individually. The key is filtering them to a separate mailbox. Ann On Oct 21, "John H.

For what it is worth, I have a whole Kemp family who are located in Manchester Township, Wayne County, PA, which is just across the Delaware River from the Hancock area of Delaware County, NY. The earliest Kemp in this family was born in England about 1840 according to various Census records. One member of this family, Clarence Kemp, married my third cousin, Myrtle Almeda Lewis. She was from another part of Wayne County, PA. Carol Potter Meadows In a message dated 10/17/2006 9:54:42 AM Eastern Standard Time, catgh@msn.com writes: Hi, I'm interested in your Kemp connection.

I would suggest one other change for those receiving the digest version: request that the administrator change your subscription to the MIME format. For most email programs (Not AOL) you will receive each message as a separate attachment that you can reply to without generally having to change the subject. The previous list system was in MIME format but the new system defaulted to the plain text version. Unfortunately, you have to ask the administrator to change the format, you can't do it yourself.

Hi All, Those of you that are getting too many Delaware List emails are probably set up on the List as receiving each and every email sent to the List by others as separate emails. This can be troublesome if there is a lot of activity on the List like it is at the present (which it should be). Even in the Digest mode, I have seen some days where there are 5 or 6 Digest messages, but this is rare. This would mean some 50 or 60 separate List email messages. Ouch!! I can see how this is overwhelming. To correct this you have to be reassign to the List as a Digest List Reader. Under this format the many emails to the List will be placed into one file and sent to you with a header like this last Digest as follows: Today's Topics: 1. Re: Rollcall - Sprague (Barbara Heard) 2.

Email programs handle these Digest emails differently. Some just place the full Digest on the screen to scroll through and other break down each topic as a separate subject to click on. Of course you can still keep receiving the separate emails and if you program has filters you can set it for keywords to grab those emails and place then in one or more email boxes to be read later and the balance will be junked. This is not the best way since the sender may not have the best subject wording for you filter to grab what you are only looking for and you will miss valuable information. You might have been in Digest mode and with the new changes, you might have been re-assigned to the single List mode. It is not certain why this happened, but a few were changed. You can get back to the Digest mode or change you current reader status to Digest mode. It is simple. To get into the Digest mode (if you are in the Single List mode) you have to unsubscribe: Send an email to the List to the following address: NYDELAWA-L-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message. You may or may not get an automatic response to your request. Then resend another email to the list as follows: NYDELAWA-D-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'subscribe' without the quotes in the subject and in the body of the message. You may or may not get an automatic response to your request. After this you should only get one or two Digest emails a day depending on how much List traffic is being handled that day. You should see the main email header like NYDELAWA Digest, Vol 1, Issue 53. The clue is the word Digest. PLEASE, for those that REPLY to a List message, enter a good description for your reply in the Subject Line. If not you will get the only the generic List Email Header: NYDELAWA Digest, Vol 1, Issue 53 , which really means nothing to the List readers that receive your email. DO NOT repeat the whole Digest contents, some 10 or more emails Only REPLY, QUOTE or CLIP the subject or lines you are responding to, not the full text content in there Digest email. This keeps the long repeating subjects, not relevant to your response, out of the next Digest message and therefore your scanning of the Digest will go much faster and the email archive storage servers will use up less room. These large Digest emails often are trashed by various email services and you will not get what you are looking for. Read your Email Help, Options and Preferences to set the REPLY parameters properly to minimize your Reply email size. Sorry for getting into this subject, but I know there are users that are not too familiar with these List operations and it just makes it harder for you and the others to quickly scan the email from these Rootsweb lists without the frustrations some of you are venting about. I hope we can close this subject for now. Respond to me or Rene off the List with private email for further help. Enjoy the great Delaware List. and Welcome Rene as our new moderator administrator.

I agree with Catherine. This deluge of email will be a temporary situation. I am on this mailing list in the hopes of finding a hurdle over some of the "brick walls" in my research. So, the amount of email I have to read currently from this mailing list may be a small price to pay to gain further information regarding ancestors or possible connections to them. I delete no "roll call" emails without at least opening it to see who the sender is talking about. My program will allow the mail to sit there unopened for 30 days, so I can slowly work my way through all of the "Roll Call" emails. As an aside, another list that I am on has decided to do a "roll call" too ... so I have even more to go through.

Catherine: I'm trying to read through all the "roll calls" and saw your mention of the name KEMP in your query about the McKee family. My second great grandmother was a KEMP-- of the Kemp family from Kemp Road. Have you ever been in contact with Bernice Telian, the Town of Meredith historian? She, too, is a Kemp and has loads of information on the Kemps. Bernice wrote a book about the history of Meredith and as I recall there are several pictures of a Robert Kemp in the book. I have also heard her mention Marion Sutherland. My great grandmother was Alice SCOTT, daughter of Andrew and Ellen (Kemp) Scott. (Ellen was the daughter of David and Eleanor (McMURRAY) Kemp.) Andrew and Ellen Scott died within a few months of each other and their orphaned children (Alice, Vernon, Blanche, Rose and Grace Scott) were sent to live with assorted relatives. I have a copies of various guardianship papers-- Robert Kemp was named as guardian of my grandmother, Alice Scott.

For me one at a time is better, although seldom do I read only the Subject Line. For me that makes moving it to a folder or printing it and even replying to it much easier.

Hi All, Those of you that are getting too many Delaware List emails are probably set up on the List as receiving each and every email sent to the List by others as separate emails. This can be troublesome if there is a lot of activity on the List like it is at the present (which it should be). Even in the Digest mode, I have seen some days where there are 5 or 6 Digest messages, but this is rare. This would mean some 50 or 60 separate List email messages. Ouch!! I can see how this is overwhelming. To correct this you have to be reassign to the List as a Digest List Reader. Under this format the many emails to the List will be placed into one file and sent to you with a header like this last Digest as follows: Today's Topics: 1. Re: Rollcall - Sprague (Barbara Heard) 2.

Email programs handle these Digest emails differently. Some just place the full Digest on the screen to scroll through and other break down each topic as a separate subject to click on. Of course you can still keep receiving the separate emails and if you program has filters you can set it for keywords to grab those emails and place then in one or more email boxes to be read later and the balance will be junked. This is not the best way since the sender may not have the best subject wording for you filter to grab what you are only looking for and you will miss valuable information. You might have been in Digest mode and with the new changes, you might have been re-assigned to the single List mode. It is not certain why this happened, but a few were changed. You can get back to the Digest mode or change you current reader status to Digest mode. It is simple. To get into the Digest mode (if you are in the Single List mode) you have to unsubscribe: Send an email to the List to the following address: NYDELAWA-L-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message. You may or may not get an automatic response to your request. Then resend another email to the list as follows: NYDELAWA-D-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'subscribe' without the quotes in the subject and in the body of the message. You may or may not get an automatic response to your request. After this you should only get one or two Digest emails a day depending on how much List traffic is being handled that day. You should see the main email header like NYDELAWA Digest, Vol 1, Issue 53. The clue is the word Digest. PLEASE, for those that REPLY to a List message, enter a good description for your reply in the Subject Line. If not you will get the only the generic List Email Header: NYDELAWA Digest, Vol 1, Issue 53 , which really means nothing to the List readers that receive your email. DO NOT repeat the whole Digest contents, some 10 or more emails Only REPLY, QUOTE or CLIP the subject or lines you are responding to, not the full text content in there Digest email. This keeps the long repeating subjects, not relevant to your response, out of the next Digest message and therefore your scanning of the Digest will go much faster and the email archive storage servers will use up less room. These large Digest emails often are trashed by various email services and you will not get what you are looking for. Read your Email Help, Options and Preferences to set the REPLY parameters properly to minimize your Reply email size. Sorry for getting into this subject, but I know there are users that are not too familiar with these List operations and it just makes it harder for you and the others to quickly scan the email from these Rootsweb lists without the frustrations some of you are venting about. I hope we can close this subject for now. Respond to me or Rene off the List with private email for further help. Enjoy the great Delaware List. and Welcome Rene as our new moderator administrator.

Carole: Thank you so much for your offer to scan these pictures, and they're identified by name, no less!! Wow! Anyway, I'd love a scanned copy of BRYCE SEAMAN. I'm not sure if he fits into my SEAMON line, but I'd like to have the picture in case he does appear somewhere along the line. Thanks! Nancy Seamon Clickman

I have been noticing the thread of these messages and I, too, have photographs from early Walton families. My GG was Fannie Guild and I have her family photo album. Includes pictures of Everett Guild (f Jeremiah, m Hanna Hale), and Fannie's family Edwin, Julia, George (m. Mary Clark and children: George, Everett and Gertrude). Fannie's son Herbert Twaddell was my grandfather and I have a picture of him as a child and a Nellie Twaddell. In addition there is an Alice St. John and then the Tobey family: Anna, Martha and Henri. There is also a photo of John Berray who married my GG after she was widowed. Any interest in these photos on this website? I will post them on a separate site if anyone interested, but it will take awhile. My plate, like others, is rather full at the moment. Sincerely, Cathy Supple

Hello All . . . As prior list administrator, I think the amount of data now coming forth from all corners of the list is very useful. I'm sorry that I caved in way back and set the options to 'reply to sender' only. What had started off as a lively list back in 1997, had died back to just a few postings by the time I turned it over to Rene'. Please don't reply to this 'off topic' via the list - send any thoughts on this subject directly to Rene'. J.

Carolee, Thank you for listing the names in your album and your offer to scan and share the images. John and Robert Ballantine may be my husband's great uncles. Is there any dating on the album. I would love to have the images of those two gentlemen. Helene Ballantyne (The Ballanty(i)nes didn't seem to be particular about the y or the i.
