Does anyone know if there was a group of entertainers at sylvan beach in the 1920-1950 era named "Joe Banana and his bunch"?

Can anyone tell me about "Joe Banana and his bunch"? I understand he has something to do with Sylvan Beach and I'm assuming in the 1940's, but can't say for sure. Elisa Tobia

That hymn was apparently written in Bath, Maine, a few miles from where I live. See note #10. Palmer, Hay, D.d., S. of the Hon. Thomas Palmer, a Judge in Rhode Island, was b. at Little Coriipton, Rhode Island, Nov. 12, 1808. His early life was spent at Boston, where lie was for tome time clerk in a dry-goods store. At Boston he joined the Park Street Congregational Church, then under the pastoral care of Dr. S. E. Dwight. After spending three years at Phillips Academy, Audover, lie entered Yale College, New Haven, where he graduated in 1830. In 1835 he became pastor of the Central Congregational Church, Bath, Maine. During his pastorate there he visited Europe in 1847. In 1850 he was appointed to the First Congregational Church, at Alliauy, New York, and in 1865 Corresponding Secretary to the American Congregational Union, New York. He resigned in 1878, and retired to Newark, New Jersey. He d. at Newark, Mar. 29, 1887.

Meet of Dr. Palmer's hymns have passed into congregational use, and have won great acceptance. The beBt of them by their combination of thought, poetry, and devotion, are superior to almost all others of American origin. The first which he wrote has become the moat widely known of all. It is :— 1. My faith looks up to Thee. Faith in Christ. Tills hymn was written by the author when fresh from College, and during an engagement In teaching in New York. This was in 1H30. The author says concerning Tts composition, " I gave form to what I felt, by writing, with little effort, the stanza*. I recollect I wrot« them with very tender emotion, and ended the last line with tears."

There are still Wood Families in DeRuyter. I am not sure they whether they subscribe to any of the Genealogy sites or not. From living in the area for over 50 years I am most familiar with the name of Calvin Wood The address I find for him is Woodsted Farm, 655 Wood Road, DeRuyter, NY Phone 315-852-6487. I do not personally know Mr. Wood but I believe his wife's name is/was Rose and I had met her many years ago. Dorothy

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Julia WOOD which was taken at the G. H. DeWitt Studio in Madison, New York. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Julia likely in her 20's or 30's at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Julia and her family as follows: Julia G. WOOD was born Dec 1853 to parents Ira WOOD (b. about 1809 in Syracuse, NY) and Mary LEACH (b. 16 May 1813 in New Milford, PA). Census records provide the following: 1860 census of De Ruyter, NY: Ira WOOD, age 53, a Farmer, born NY Mary WOOD, age 48, born NY Martha WOOD, age 17, born NY Emma WOOD, age 16, born NY Eugene WOOD, age 15, born NY Charles WOOD, age 12, born NY Lavatha WOOD, age 10, born NY Julia WOOD, age 8, born NY Periuenas WOOD, age 5, born NY 1870 census of DeRuyter, NY: Ira WOOD, age 60, a Farmer, born PA Mary WOOD, age 57, Keeps House, born NY Martha WOOD, age 27, at Home, born NY Eugene WOOD, age 25, Works on Farm, born NY Emogene WOOD, age 23, at Home, born NY Chas WOOD, age 21, Works on Farm, born NY Lorena WOOD, age 18, born NY Julia WOOD, age 16, born NY Alva WOOD, age 14, born NY 1880 census of DeRuyter, NY: Ira WOOD, age 73, born NY, parents born PA/NY Mary WOOD, wife, age 67, born NY, parents born CT/MA Sarah F.

Mary, Not that I'm aware of. I'll have to ask my wife or her uncle and aunt who have lived there most of their lives. Funny thing happened in my Madison tree is that I looked for untold years, as my uncle before me had to find a couple married in December 1849 in Brookfield and then vanished. We searched cemetery after cemetery to find their graves. They were my great-great-great grandparents. In the early 2000s while working on the history of a couple of counties in Wisconsin, late one night I found reference to them through their son who had moved as a pioneer to Wisconsin. In 2004 I was able to travel to Wisconsin and visit their graves. Thus ended a nearly 40 year quest. I'm tweaking the Madison site, as my email address has changed but with hundreds of pages, even with the ability to change many at once, I'm also seeing if I can tweak the code to get rid of extra code, allowing the pages to load faster.

Elisa, That I think I can help you with. Larry's aunt on his father's side wrote a book, it took 12 years to research and type it on a type writer. She used elite print. She started out alphabetically in her case it was with her husband's family the Deming, Adam, Waldo and Bass family Wife's side. The first family name was Adams. At the top of the page she listed Henry Adams married Edith Squire and gave the date1609 and followed it down to George Deming ( husband -wife line). It went like this Henry Adams m'd. Edith Squire date of marriage 1609 Samuel Adams m'd. Rebecca Graves 1646 Rebecca Adams m'd John Waldo Edward Waldo m'd Thankful Dimmock 1706 and so forth on down to George Deming who married Augusta Base in 1857 After she did that she did a written history starting with Generation # 1 of Adams including children and grandchildren following it down to Rebecca Adams who married John Waldo. They had 8 children. After he died she made a marriage contract with a widower Eleazar Brown. She died as his widow. She then put the following for more data on the children of Rebecca Adams and John Waldo see the Waldo Wife line. Then Aunt Catherine went to William Allen who married Ann Goodale. This line also when to George Deming then on to Ernest Deming and then on to Catherine's father-in-law Nuel Deming who married Neve Edwards, Catherine's mother-in-law. The book takes a lot of work to understand but it is well worth it. Just recently, my brother in-law, and his cousin aunt Catherine's niece put the book all on a CD. The cost is only $7.00. One can print the pages right off the CD and of course make the print larger. The original book was 600 or so pages. If interested I will send you the address in which to get it. Catherine goes through each family member and their family. The original book was done as a private printing with only 250 copies in existence. Hope this helps. Thank you for your input.

Thanks guys and gals for your in put. My biggest problem is where in the line up do I merge with my husbands family? Here is an example of how I have organized my direct Beebe line not including my mothers maiden name of Schwartz. I will begin with my father's direct line ending with me before my marriage. BEEBE LINE 1.Beginning with John b. 1600, his wife Rebecca 2. Samuel b. 1633 wife Mary 3. William b. 1665 don't remember his wife 4. Ezekiel. b. ? 5. Zadock I 6. Zadock II 7. Cyrus husband of Rhoda Chesebro and later her sister after she died 8. Judson L. husband of Susan Blanding 9. Hiram J. husband of Ellen Amelia Hills 10 Will L. husband of May A. Payne and Anna Personeous 11.C. Arthur Beebe husband of Dorcas Schwartz. ( see below daughter Dorcas child of David and Nora Schwartz) 12 Joan Beebe ___________________________________________________________________________________________ This is my mother's line Schwartz Wheeler/Ryan ________________________________________________________________________________________ John husband of Mary Patrick husband of Catherine David L. (child of above) Nora (child of above) _____________________________________________________________________________________ SCHWARTZ Marriage of WHEELER David L. Nora ________________________________________________________________________________________ Their Child Dorcas Schwartz _____________________________________________________________________________________ BEEBE Marriage of SCHWARTZ Arthur Beebe Dorcas Schwartz __________________________________________________________________________________________ Their Child Joan Beebe _____________________________________________________________________________________-_____ MEDDAUGH Marriage BEEBE Larry Meddaugh Joan Beebe _________________________________________________________________________________________ Their Children James Meddaugh ( married) Kirstie Brown ( Three children John, Matt, Kayla) __________________________________________________________________________________________ Ami Meddaugh single ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ This is my hubands line on the Meddaugh side Starting with George Meddaugh who changed the spelling from Middag to Meddaugh. George, ?? Peter- Nancy H. this line is Hallioway or some spelling like that PC- Velma Legg Frank- Ethel Jackson The Jackson line is Bower, Reed etc. Elmer-- Evelyn Green The Green line is Jennings, Wells etc. Larry - Joan Beebe ________________ __Here is the problem. where in the family line do I put Larry's parents? I know where Larry and I go which isright after my maiden name book but where do I start Larry's family? Do I do the following? right after Larry's and my book put his parents? Then what is the line up for his grandparents on his mother's side? Do I just follow the surname line all the way back or what, and drop the maiden name to another shelf and put a stickie note that says, see red note book or what? If some of you could put this in some order for me it would be greatly appreciated. If you do, put in CAPS what you have moved and leave in lower case those you haven't. Well if this hasn't confused you by now. Nothing will. So long and thanks. A very comfused me. ---------- Original Message ---------- From: Elisa Tobia <etobia@stny.rr.com> To: nymadiso@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NYMADISO] organizational problem help please Date: Sun, 22 Aug 2010 10:08:22 -0400 Hi Joan, I read, with great interest, your organizational process. I sure did get confused with the colors yet at the same time I find the color coding a useful tool for quick reference. The genealogy records that were passed on to me uses a numbering system that is similar to my computers genealogy software. It categorizes by last name in alphabetical order and then the index # at the end. Seems to me it might work well as a table of contents or index to your notebooks.

Joan, I would have the notebook of your husbands family of origin (and your family of origin) just before you and your husbands notebook. I would then include his siblings, their marriages and the "allied families" to each of the family of origin notebooks. That is just how I would do it. A problem I'm running into is the desire to publish for family use all of my families and allied families and deciding how to publish all of it for my parents and their children going back numerous generations as well as forward three generations since my parents marriage. Additionally, I have two relatives (second cousins) who married so there are overlapping relatives too. Any thoughts folks on how to organize chapters/folders if information for publication?

Hi Joan, I gather that your question is how to actually physically organize all those notebooks. There is no right or wrong way to do it. What matters is that it makes sense to you and that you can find the notebook you want in an instant. To me, the next level of organization would be chronology by generation within each family line, like the Ahfentofel system. But that's just me. Whatever you choose as your second guiding principle must make sense to you. To some extent, the answer depends on your style of shelving. If you have freestanding modular shelving units, you could organize each family line chronologically in their own cases, and start a new case at the point when you and Larry marry and for your descendants records. If you have wall-mounted shelves, you can do the same sort of thing by using separate shelves for each family line. For cross-referencing of lines and generations, you could place notes on a family group sheet in the front of each binder, listing which other binder(s) to see to pick up the line(s). You also could place colored dots on the outside of the binders to signal which other line intersects at that point, such as when there is a marriage. For example, your binder is white and you could paste a black dot on the spine to signal that you connect to the Meddaugh line and a blue/green dot to signal your Mother's line. Your children's black binders would have a white dot on the spine to signal that their matrilineal link is Beebe. That process would be consistent with your existing color-coding system. Be sure to get some type of dot or label that is super-sticky if you do this, so they don't fall off. Whew! Sounds like quite a task. Whatever system you choose will be the right one. Just have fun with it.

Hi Joan, I read, with great interest, your organizational process. I sure did get confused with the colors yet at the same time I find the color coding a useful tool for quick reference. The genealogy records that were passed on to me uses a numbering system that is similar to my computers genealogy software. It categorizes by last name in alphabetical order and then the index # at the end. Seems to me it might work well as a table of contents or index to your notebooks. It looks like this: DEMAY Bradley Steven (1983 - ) (4) 1.5.2.2 Caitlin (1985 - ) (4) 1.5.2.1 Steven Robert (1954 - ) spouse of (3) 1.5.2 FERGUSON Kathryn (1952 - ) spouse of (3) 1.5.1 HALL Hallie Mae (1898 - ) spouse of (1) 1 LUTERAN Ronald (1955 - ) spouse of (3) 1.5.4 ORR Daniel Watson (1898 - 1979) (1) 1 TOBIA Joseph (1957 - ) spouse of (3) 1.5.3 Nam Jong Kwon/Matthew Joseph (1991 - ) (4) 1.5.3.2 Sang Hee Jeon/Christine Marie (1987 - ) (4) 1.5.3.1 TORNATORE Barbara (1932 - ) (2) 1.5 Bethany (4) 1.5.1.1 Carol (1955 - ) (3) 1.5.2 Elisa (1959 - ) (3) 1.5.3 Elizabeth Jane (1959 - ) (3) 1.5.4 Kimberly (1984 - ) (4) 1.5.1.2 Marcus (1987 - ) (4) 1.5.1.3 Michael Alexander (1926 - ) spouse of (2) 1.5 Paul (1952 - ) (3) 1.5.1 On Aug 22, 2010, at 9:34 AM, cepage1 wrote: > Hi, Joan, > I had the same problems.

Hi, Joan, I had the same problems. Do our kids go in my wife's family notebook or mine/ That is a simplified sample of what I mean. I never found a solution. Some persons should have been in two or more notebooks and as soon as a new detail of information is discovered--- how many times do I have to write it!!! I should say, I did find a solution ! I went to the computer. That is what a computer does best. It does the mechanical work so that you don't have to. It puts all the names and info in as many places as necessary with very little work on my part. So, I just use my old notebook records to paste in newspaper clippings for the main family lines, obits, etc. even though I have that info on the computer. If you have room enough in your house, you can keep some sort of paper records, I suppose. I started out saying I would have a page in the notebooks for each indivdual--But.............

Hi list, I have an organizational problem that I need help solving. First, of all let me tell you that I am one of those three-ring notebook types that likes to sit in a nice comfortable chair and browse through their genealogy rather than sit at a computer and do it. Second, I also enjoy printing other individuals work and comparing them to others and myself. Third, I prefer to color code the families. For example my fathers side the Beebe's are white notebooks while my mother's side is blue. My husbands side is black and gray, red. Now with that said here is the situation. Each generation has their own note book. That I am directly related to. Which by the way is either 13 or 14, I forget. I use white notebooks for my Beebe line my fathers side and blue/green for my mother's side For example In notebook # 1 I go all the way back to 1585 with Thomas Beebe. In that notebook is included is wife/wives, and all their children. As well as a list of all the people that have researched that particular line. Note book # 2 follows with Thomas son and family and all the people that have researched that particular line. This continues with the same process all the way up to me Joan Beebe. Now I don't have a problem with the Beebe line as to how to organize them because they are all males all the way to my father C. Arthur. Sure I have aunts and uncles but I know how to organize them and which shelf to put them on. them. But I do have when I merge my mothers side the Schwartz And again when I married my husband Larry Meddaugh. His family is gray's for Jackson, his grandmother, red for Jennings his other grandmother, Black for his grandpa Meddaugh and a different color for his grandma Jennings 1st and second husbands. Are you confused yet? white ( surname Beebe) and black surname Meddaugh get married and the notebook color becomes black with white stripes meaning Beebe and Meddaugh have become one. Our childrens notebooks are all black because their surname is Meddaugh ( which was Larry's side) But where do I place my husband's parents and grandparents on both side of his family? Do I do it like this? After my direct line is all organized and I am listed as the last white notebook, then do I put Larry's and my union after that or do I start with his father's side the Meddaugh's, that go all the way back to `1400's ,Jacksons,) Then on his mother's side Jennings, Green, Dimon. then our JOINT family? or what? See I told you I was confused and I be you guys are too. Hope you can help. I have a total of 200 + notebooks. Some have pictures while others have straight genealogy, others have histories of the various towns, a list of cemeteries, articles, census,military, other towns in Tioga Co. Rail Roads, farming, and a whole lot more. Luckily I don't have a problem organizing them. Thanks for your help a very confused Joan Beebe, Meddaugh ____________________________________________________________ Notre Dame Certificates 100% Online Programs in Negotiation Leadership and Mgmt.
