Hello veterans and newbies of the RootsWeb. I have received permission from the listowner to make this offer. There are some really great folks who are willing to help just for the asking. I, myself do Volunteer research at Andersonville Civil War Prison in Andersonville Georgia. Any research I do is absolutely at NO cost and I am willing to do what I can. There are more than 41718 prisoners on record from the Union, ( 6680 from Pennsylvania )and quite a few who were held prisoner here as Union regiments from Confederate states. There are also nearly 13000 ( 2261 New York ) marked graves of those who died here. I thought I would send my offer as these would lead to a great many descendants who might be looking for them.. I feel the need to say I am not in anyway trying to focus on the horrors of Andersonville compared to any POW camp in the north ..( i.e.Elmira ) or any others and do not wish to stir up arguments on this site. My focus is dedicated to ALL of those held prisoner during this war , on both sides as well as all Americans who gave their freedoms for those that we enjoy today.. I just happen to be near Andersonville so this is where I do my work Here are my sources of research. There are 2 online databases to do lookups.....One by name...one by Company and Regiment. I also have a copy of the Dorence Atwater Death list which has the names and grave numbers of 12960 graves with only 460 marked as " UNKNOWN " This along with a CD I have which contains 41718 names of the 45,000 who were imprisoned there which helps me find prisoner records because of misspellings of the names or alternate names. I also have the continued update database which is dated October 01 2002 . . I visit the prison site every couple of weeks and have access to the onsite databases as well as the physical files. Please do not consider this spam as my research offer is FREE for the asking . Please email me directly at [email protected] If there is anything I can do in helping your research at Andersonville, please just ask.

Peter & Sarah GRIFFIN were living in Tyrone, Steuben co., NY (now in Schuyler co., NY) in 1850. They were in Reading, Steuben co., NY (now Schuyler co.) in 1840. Children of Peter & Sarah GRIFFIN: 1.

Sarah GRIFFIN KNAPP, b. 1835. Are there any other descendants of these families out there? Thanks, Linda Z. O'Halloran

Hello, I just learned that a gr-gr-grandmother of mine was Kate KNIGHT b. 1859, apparently the daughter of John & Susan M. KNIGHT of Hector, Schuyler co., NY. John KNIGHT was born on 27 Aug 1807 in either Orange co., NY or Westchester co., NY (depending on census). John is buried in Glenwood cem., Watkins Glen, NY. Susan Maria KNIGHT was b. about 1813 in Orange co., NY and is buried in Orange co., NY. I'm wondering if anyone else is researching this family. Linda O'Halloran

Sorry if it show up 5 times in 5 different regional lists of New York. The question is: Are there regional lists serving the southern tier (the area just north of Pennsylvania state line) and Long Island areas? These two areas appear not to be served and I don't seem to find correct names of mailing lists if there are such. The rest of the state is already covered pretty good: NY-Western NY-Northern NY-Hudsonrv NY-Mohawk-Valley NYFingerLakes I would like to subscribe to ?missing lists? for the last two remaining regions so I can post announcements of new files in USGenWeb Archives as needed whenever there are new files.

Linda and all, I think that the vast majority of times that one of us sees a book for sale that we know would interest others on this list, that it is a legitimate sale. It's sad that this person would be trying to run a scam, but I hope that it won't make anyone afraid to share a "find". We all need to investigate thoroughly when we decide to make a purchase but if we don't know they are out there, we could miss wonderful things. As in this case and as Linda did, if you find out something suspect about an offer you have shared, just let everyone know ASAP. I think this is the first time that any of us have shared this kind of info that the seller has turned out to be bogus. That's a pretty good record :) I can't remember how many years we have had this list and there are 700+ members most of the time so...

Hello from the Schuyler co., NY GenWeb coordinator, I was contacted by a woman who wants to sell her original copy of the 1903 Biographical Record of Schuyler co., NY. These original copies are quite hard to find, so I thought someone here would appreciate hearing about it. The woman prefers not to sell on ebay, since she doesn't want the book to end up with a book dealer, but rather with a person who would really use and appreciate the book. I would buy it myself, but I already have an original copy of my own. I have put a number of the Schuyler biographies from this book online at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyschuyl/1903Bios.html . I have no financial or other interest in the sale of this book. I don't know anything about the book's condition and I don't know the woman selling it. But if you are interested in owning this book, you can contact Amanda directly at [email protected] All the best, Linda Z. O'Halloran http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyschuyl/

The thills were broken off and the horse reached home without damage. ANOTHER RUNAWAY. A horse owned by Charles KETCHUM and driven by his wife, with several members of the family in the cutter, took fright on Main street near Rose early Sunday evening. The occupants of the cutter were thrown out and Mrs. KETCHUM'S right wrist was badly torn. The others were not seriously hurt. The cutter was badly wrecked. TWO MORE RUNAWAYS. Tuesday evening a horse and cutter came down North avenue at a lively speed. C. H. EMONS came to the rescue and caught the horse before any damage was done. He pleasantly remarked that the horse must have had the grip, as it did not run as fast as it could. A North avenue young man and a Main street young lady took a pleasure ride Monday evening. When the drive was finished the young lady safely alighted in front of the parental mansion, when the impatient horse started up the street before the young man was ready.

I am researching my father's family and hope someone else may be also. My g.grandfather was JERRY FRAZIER b. abt. 1848; m.Martha ( maiden name unknown); They had 5 sons and 2 daughters which included a set of twins, a girl & a boy. They lived in Addison,NY in 1880. He may have been a brakeman. The names of his children were: Fred, Joseph, Josehine, Jary, Susie,Tom & John.(my grandfather b.1884). I haven't any ideas of where Jerry or Martha were born, married, or died. I've had help from some very nice people who checked the 1880 census to get me this far.Thanks!

Seeking date of Birth, date of Death, and place of Burial of Helen Parker Berlew, daughter of Alton G and Hattie (Pond) Parker, wife of Henry N Berlew. Thank you Patty Warner (great great granddaughter of Benjamin C Parker).

Joyce, saw your email from my work and believe that I can help: Ella Reyolds is the daughter of Mary Tarney/Turney and John Reynolds. Mary married 2nd Jacob S. House after 1870. I believe that Mary divorced John Reynolds -- he was living in the Soldiers and Sailors Home in Bath, Steuben County, in the 1900 census. Mary and Jacob House had at least one child, a daughter, Sarah House, born about 1873, per the 1880 census, 384, Bath, Steuben Co., NY. Mary and John Reynolds had at least two, perhaps three, other children, George, Charles, and Elizabeth Reynolds, per the 1870 census for Bath, Steuben Co., NY. Perhaps Jacob House adopted Mary's other children. Mary Tarney/Turney is the daughter of Elizabeth Hay/Hays and Bartholomew Tarney/Turney. Elizabeth Hay is the daughter of David and Mary Polly French Hay. David Hay is the son of Ephraim and Mary Sarah Terrill Hay. My descent is through David's brother Charles Hay/Hays. I think may have more information about Bartholomew in my family file at home - - probably from the History of Yates county. Some details of the above information are in my file, "Descendants of Ephraim & Mary Sarah Terrill Hays," on RootsWeb. Try a search for Jacob House in WorldConnect on RootsWeb or in Ancestry and go to the file ep_ha_sa_te. I will check my personal file for more information this evening. I hope this information is helpful. Terrill Hayes > Dear family history researchers, > > I am hoping you can help me with one of my brick walls.
