In case you've not heard there is a new URL for Madison County. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nymadiso/ Old Favorites will still work but will be redirected to the one above. For many USGenWeb account holders this was the final straw. Many thought that it would make the distinction that USGenWeb is not part of Ancestry/Rootsweb less clear. The National USGenWeb site, over half the state sites and numerous county sites have moved elsewhere in the last week or two. One can view the national pages - http://www.usgenweb.org/ to see what URLs states now have and from the state pages any changes to county URLs. Please be aware that while both the national and state pages are updated regularly due to the volume of change occurring at this time all changes may not be reflected at the point in time you seek to find a particular county site. If you can not find a particular county site, please contact the state coordinator for the county you are seeking requesting the URL for the county. If you can not find a particular state site, please see the national web site for contact information. Tim Stowell

What a beautiful young lady you have added to your family. My friend Tien (in Alabama) will be delighted to know there is another by that name living in nearby Tennessee! Blessings to all of you.

Hi Everyone, I just subscribed to the list because I found on the 1900 Federal Census an elusive relative moved from Pennsylvania to Oneida Village, in Madison County, NY. On the 1880 Census, William Clapp was 12 years old (b Apr 1868), living in Scranton, PA and was a cigar maker. His occupation lets think/hope that the William Clapp that is found in Oneida is the same person. The Oneida William Clapp is listed as a cigar maker. It also mentions that William had married a woman named Catherine who was born Feb 1872 and they lived at either 16 or 18 William St. I don't know Catherine's maiden name but it says she was born in New York so she might have been a local. It looks as if they had just married as in the column what asks for number of years married, there is a zero for both of them. I cannot find any mention of either of them after this census and I am curious if there are any Clapp's still living in this area? If so, I would like to contact them to see if they would know anything about the history of the family? I am the great-granddaughter of William's brother, Jerome. Does anyone have the cost and the address I can write to for a marriage record? Since the length of marriage is zero, requesting the search in 1899 or 1900 is a safe bet, that is if they married in Madison county. The census notes that they rented. Is this address a private house or an apartment house? Are there city directories or voter registrations for this area that might let me trace them as far as possible? Can anyone tell me the name of the cigar company that existed in Oneida and does it exist today? Any help that your group can give me is greatly appreciated. Regards, Lynn Eivers

Dear Tim & Ellen, I would like to add my congratulations to you on the addition of Tian to your family. How wonderful that you have found each other. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during these initial days of adjustment. May you each be richly blessed!

BlankI join the other listers in congratulating you on adding to your family tree. Travel safely, get some rest and let us know how things are going with this wonderful new addition. Isn't spring a wonderful time for this new growth? Best to you and your family, Robin

Sorry Jayne, I was referring to you. Does seem like there are others out there who found info on these folks and started all these theories. When I get the chance I am going to cough up some bucks and order a few Button wills from the area that might provide some clues.

Tim, Felicitations on the beautiful addition to your family - - actually OUR family. You have been able to bond us all together into one big family through your care of the Madison list and sharing that you do. Congratulations - - and may you be able to sleep every minute that Tian does on the return home. Blessings to you and your entire family. Lois

Tim, Is there a way we could contribute to a college fund for Tian? Renne is right that we would want to give you all a party, but that isn't possible. So please lease let us know if we can do something - if not a college fund, whatever would be appropriate? We are all so fond of you and this is such wonderful news! Please consider it and get back to us. Debbie Smith Zorach On 20-Mar-08, at 1:11 PM, Renne Harrington wrote: > Congrats Tim to you, your wife, and darling daughter.

Congrats Tim to you, your wife, and darling daughter. All of us on this list and especially the Madison list are so excited for you, I think we'd all throw you a huge party if you were closer and not in TN! Usually in cases like this we could all get together and have a baby shower but in this case if you were not in the south we most certainly would have a WELCOME and CONGRATS TO THE HAPPY FAMILY party. I think you are the most beloved list administrator on the web. I as so happy for you at the warm outpouring of sincere congrats from all of your listers. Right now I think we all have a case of the warm fuzzies on your behalf. I feel like we are all one big, happy family, with you as our leader and we are all celebrating the addition to our family. I thought that was cute that you hadn't seen any messages and sent a test message to see if your lists were still active. See, we just don't know what to do without you. Sure it was fun the first few days getting away with doing things of the variety of while the cat is away the mouse will play. But then without leadership we didn't know what to do and became bored quickly. I am ashamed to say I thought for sure you were going into rehab--I thought we all drove you to drink, or drugs or nuts. Because you had said you were going away for a while and wouldn't be able to communicate other than to let those closest to you know how you were doing, I thought for sure that you were in rehab or jail. May I have some bacon to go with the egg on my face? I guess you just were secretive in case something went wrong so that we all wouldn't be disappointed along with you if your plans fell through. I have punished myself for my thoughts about you being in rehab. Best Wishes to you and yours, Renne

Dear Terry: Thanks very much for sending me the BUTTON information. To complicate matters it appears that John Button b. 1756 m. Anna Palmer also lived in Brookfield for some time (info from a descendant of this John and Anna), so it may be difficult to distinguish between children of John and Anna (McCoon) Button and those of John and Anna (Palmer) Button.

To bad. Don't they understand that dad's need bonding time too? Have a safe trip and do keep us updated as to how your whole family is doing.

It is back to work on Monday. How alive I'll be is another thing. My boss is not understanding in that regard. Since I work for a private institution, I suppose different rules apply. It is not like the place has been burning down while I've been gone for I only missed 7 days of work, my first vacation / time off in 2 years. The rest of the time work has been closed for spring break. This falls under, go figure. Now it is bedtime for 530 comes early as we start our 29 hour day to return home tomorrow night.

Tim, Just wanted to know will you be getting a three month maternity leave from the company that you work for like the women do in order to do a little more bonding with that gorgeous daughter of yours?

Congratulation on the little sprout added to your family tree. May you have much happiness in your life. Be sure and keep us up to date on the family news. Great pictures. Mary Kay

Since I most likely will only have this once chance to have such a subject line - We started the process about a year ago, to add a sprout to our tree. This will be finished by the US immigration department tomorrow in Chicago. We've come to China for our new daughter, Tian, whose pictures you've seen by now. I'm tired this evening having climbed the Great Wall to the top. Wow. Yesterday we visited the Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and the Beijing Acrobatics Theater where we saw an amazing show of acrobatics. ------------------------------------------------------via webmail---- Tim Stowell [email protected]

Tim, Just love the way you described your new addition to your family tree. I would love to quote you in our monthly newspaper the Candor Statement. Please get back to me ASAP as to whether or not we can use this wonderful description in this months paper. I need to know by the end of today our time as we go to print this weekend and have to have all written articles in by Friday morning. Congratulations and what a beautiful little girl she is. Joan in Candor
