Daughter - lucinda 16 years old born in New York. Son - Geo. P. 12 years old born in Indiana. "Son - James 10 years old born in Indiana." Son - Charles 5 years old born in New York. _____________________________________ I'm trying to Prove or disprove that 10 year old James is my great grandfather, James D. Mitchell? My James was born 1850 in Indiana (ref. 1880 thru 1920 census) and married December 25, 1878 in Elkhart County, Indiana (ref. marriage certificate). I have been searching Indiana for the past 7 years and haven't found any leads on my James prior to 1878. The Geo. P. Mitchell family is the closes lead I have in any of the states via the U. S. Census. I would greatly appreciate any help someone may have. Regards, M. Richard Mitchell [email protected]

Diane, I found one of the photos from the Post Standard that was taken about a block away from 1000 Cumberland Ave the day after the storm. It doesn't show much, but may give you some sense of things: <http://www.syracuse.com/news/labordaystorm/gallery/gallery.ssf?/cgi-bin/slide-show.cgi/syr/slide_show.ata?index=2&g_id=1749> It's a very long URL, so I have enclosed it in angle brackets to keep it intact.

Diane, I live very close to that spot. I don't know who lives in that house, but I can most certainly tell you that the spot took a major beating during the Labor Day storm (i.e. the downdrafts on Labor Day, 1998, which toppled about 30,000 trees in 15 minutes). We were without power for almost a week after that, because of all the damage in the area. Somewhere I have photos taken not far away from that spot the morning after those nasty winds. It won't be very difficult for me to see if there is still a house there next time I go to the grocery store. Though I could probably get a digital photo of the house if it exists, that might be considered rude without asking the owner first. -- Mary Taffet [email protected] wrote: > > Dear Listers: > > My mother, age 95, now living in California, remembers visiting her > great-grandfather Dodge -- the only grandparent she ever knew -- when she was five or > six years old.

Dear Listers: My mother, age 95, now living in California, remembers visiting her great-grandfather Dodge -- the only grandparent she ever knew -- when she was five or six years old. Mom especially remembers her Grandpa's bushy black eyebrows; that memory was corroborated by a newspaper article picture of him at 85 that I found last week at newspaperarchive.com. My research shows that this man, David Curtis Dodge, resided at 1000 Cumberland Avenue by 1905 until his death in 1920 at age 87-4-9. David Curtis Dodge descended from the English emigrant Richard Dodge, Sr. and his wife Edith. "Curtis" Dodge, son of David S. and Sylda (Colvin) (Howlett) Dodge was age 17 in the 1850 census; he was b. 7 Nov 1832, according to his death certificate. It's so amazing to me that I know someone who knew someone who was born 172 years ago! My mother is wondering if there is still a residence at 1000 Cumberland Avenue in Syracuse, whether it is the same home where she visited all those years ago and what the chain of ownership has been since her grandfather died. Does anyone know of a way to find out online whether this address is still a residence? I checked Yahoo and Mapquest, which shows the address on a map. The reverse lookups with which I am familiar require a telephone number. Thanks for any help you can give . . . Diane Wilson Flynn

Sally, I would guess he was a minister in Tully. I did a search for his name in the Onondaga County GenWeb site, and got two hits. One of them was http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyononda/LETTERS/watsontully21.html Do a search on that page, and you will find he was invited to dinner! The date is right.

Thanks to a tip from Carl Hommel I have located the Rev. E. A. Lecompte! He was pastor of the First Baptist Church of Syracuse from 1869 to 1874. Thanks a million, Carl! Sally

According to a family Bible my great grandparents, Cornelius SMITH and Lucy E. BABCOCK were married 27 Aug 1874, Syracuse NY, by the Rev. E. A. Lecompt. Does anyone recognize the name of this minister or know to which church he ministered? Thanks, Sally Bailey

Many thanks to Michelle Stone who posted the information about the Syracuse Newspapers online. I realize that this is a subscription service, however, it was most appreciated by me. I have so much Palmer family history in Syracuse that I want to thank anyone who leads us to such a valuable resource. I immediately went to that site and was able to find all sorts of incredible articles about my Palmers that I would never have been able to find without actually going to Syracuse. I live in North Carolina and am unable to make that journey for several years yet. I will gratefully pay the small amount the site requires for searching Syracuse's newspapers. The search engine does present a bit of a challenge, however it is so worth it when you find articles, and yes, photos of your ancestors! Thank you again to all listers who share their research tips and helpful sites! - Nancy Schloss researching in the Syracuse area: Palmer, Halstead, Stone

In a message dated 1/8/2005 4:28:47 AM Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Some kind listers here recently let me know that there is now available an online Syracuse newspapers archives subscription service. . . . I subscribed last week and have been spending hours searching the articles (1857-2004) by KEYWORDS, surnames, you name it (a computer-age dream come true). I can recommend it as a terrific tool for long-distance, do-it-yourself research. Here is the URL: http://poststandard.newspaperarchive.com/DesktopDefault.aspx . . . . $6.95 monthly or $39.95 for a year's subscription. There is also evidently a subscription service for newspaper archives nationwide from the same people ($17.95 a month or $99.95 a year) I definitely agree with Michelle Stone that an online newspaper archive is an unbelievably valuable research tool. Several days ago I used my Christmas money to buy a year's subscription to newspaperarchive.com, which, for Syracuse, has the following newspapers: Central City Daily Courier Syracuse New York [earliest year, 1859] Evening Herald Syracuse New York [earliest year, 1893] Post Standard Syracuse New York [1900-2004] Syracuse Journal Syracuse New York [May, June 1938 (partial months)] Syracuse Daily Courier Syracuse New York [part of 1857 + Nov 2, 1986] Syracuse Daily Courier And Union Syracuse New York [Jan-June 1865 + 2 days in 1925] Syracuse Herald Syracuse New York [earliest date 1877] Syracuse Herald Journal Syracuse New York [earliest date 1906] As Michelle said, coverage is intermittent, so you should "browse newspapers" at newspaperarchive.com to see if their 21.3 million pages contain the places and times you need. The information that I am seeking appears in many of the newspapers that I listed above, but NOT always in the Post Standard. The beauty of having the entire subscription instead of just one newspaper is that you have the option of searching the entire country at once, or limiting your search by using the "Search Wizard" or "Advanced Search" for just one newspaper or area or person. I have found so many of my relatives' obituaries in mere minutes rather than the days that I formerly spent in front of balky microfilm readers all over the country. I have answered many of my own research questions in just these past few days, including details on the death of my mother's cousin's husband, that I still can't believe how wonderful this tool is and how lucky I am that I was paying attention when my cousin, Linda Jure, told me about it.

Where do I find the "Onondaga County Deaths (MSS) 1733-1913"? Thanks, [email protected]

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Herman R. RYDER which was taken at the Hyatt & Tooke Studio in Cortland, New York. I believe that the photograph was probably taken in the early 1890's and that Herman may have been a student at the Cortland Normal School at the time. I'm guessing that Herman was in his 20's at the time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I do find Herman R. RYDER b. 31 Aug 1869 at Pompey, NY to parents Henry Delos RYDER and Mary R. TINSLAR. Herman R. RYDER died 28 October 1948, location unknown. I'm hoping to locate someone from this RYDER Family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hi, list, Some kind listers here recently let me know that there is now available an online Syracuse newspapers archives subscription service. I had not known about this, so am sharing it here with others who may not be aware of it. I subscribed last week and have been spending hours searching the articles (1857-2004) by KEYWORDS, surnames, you name it (a computer-age dream come true). I can recommend it as a terrific tool for long-distance, do-it-yourself research. (I am not affiliated with this company, etc.) Here is the URL: http://poststandard.newspaperarchive.com/DesktopDefault.aspx You have to use the browsers they list, tho (Mozilla does not work here). They do not cover ALL newspapers ALL years, so check out what the service offers, and see if it is right for you. Try the sample page to see how it operates on your own computer system. Personally, I was delighted to discover this was available. $6.95 monthly or $39.95 for a year's subscription. There is also evidently a subscription service for newspaper archives nationwide from the same people ($17.95 a month or $99.95 a year): https://secure.newspaperarchive.com/Register.aspx You might want to check and see if your local library or Family History Center offers these subscriptions (or will if requested to).
