Thank you one and all. I have it safely (hopefully) book marked. Your are all so very kind. Thank you for your prompt answers. Barbara Baxter's in Otisville, Orange Co., NY

Hello List, Was wondering if someone could look and see if there is an aobit for Samuel CASKEY who d. in the fall of 1833. Most likely DeerPark Twp., Port Jervis. I would realy appreciate anyone's help. I do have a feeling that there may not be one. In that case is there someone who can look up a will it would be in Book I, pg 550. I just need to have any info pertaining to the children that is listed in it. His wife was Sarah Decker, d/o Martinus Decker. I do hope I am not asking for too much. I had noticed all the people willing to do look ups for other's. I think it is very generous of all of you to take your own personal time to help other's. Although I do not own any books I do have access to 1855 State census for Orange Co., NY and Index to early Will's 1731-1830 and another film of probated records 1787-1916. A index to Sussex Co., NJ wills (Early) I have never offered to do look ups yet so I hope this is ok to do??? I only have access on Tuesday's & Saturday's. I would be happy to help someone out. Thank you kindly, Donna Caskey -- caskeytrails@myfamily.com - email ________________________________________________________________________ Get your own free email, set up a MyFamily site at http://www.MyFamily.com

Hi all! I'm on a new tip of information regarding my Smith's. I am now told that they were from Germany, and that the original Smith from Germany, was an Arthur W. Smith, a professor of Language, who spoke seven languages. This would have been prior to 1760, as this is when my last information on my Smith line stops in Rockland Co. Anyone have any ideas?

Does anyone here know the URL for the MOst Wanted Web Site?

Would appreciate lookup in early Orange County histories/vital records, etc: JAMES BARRETT resident of old Orange (now Rockland) County 1781-abt 1785; village of Tappan; two sons JAMES BARRETT, JR. & PHILIP BARRETT baptized at the Tappan Low Dutch Christian Reform Church 1781 & 1782. Paticularly interested in where they lived; any background. thanks gary schmermund Bradenton, FL

I say "Amen" to Joanne's statement! Mona in Indiana

I thought these forums were for sharing our genealogy information and knowledge to help others in their searches. Puting conditions on requests is rather selfish. Why offer at all? Then to whine to the entire list when someone questions your "generosity" and say you are "taking your ball and going home" is childish. We all have better things to do with our time Suzy. And who are you to decide whether or not "they shouldn't be going back another generation"?

Hello List, I would like everyone to please take a minute and reflect on what a wonderful day today is, we are all alive reading this ( not like the people we are researching) Many families lost over half their children before they where 7 years old. some lost children one right after another. Let's stop this nick picking and get back to sharing. I personally think we are miss reading the meaning of the postings. Love Genealogy!! Joanne

Thank you to each and every one of you who answered my post about where to find Otisville in the1850's. Really and truly a million thanks aren't enough. I have found my Great,Great Grandparents with their children in the 1850 Mount Hope Census. I have been looking for them for ten years. I found Philip Baxter, his wife Phoebe and 6 children including my great grandfather. Now I have a starting point for this family. I am so excited I could just about pop and DH is only very slightly impressed. Thank you all again. Barbara Grim

Any information on the following would be appreciated. Job Babcock,father, son Samuel Babcock married Rachel? They had the following children Mary,Elizabeth,Keziah,Sarah and Benjamin. At the time I think they lived around Warwick or Goshen area. Mary Babcock married David Kelly 1784 in Warwick, Orange County, NY. Samuel Babcock was a UEL and died sometime before 1790.

Hi Sue I'm sorry you have decided to withdraw your offer, not that I blame you. Nobody needs to be insulted when they offer a kindness, but if you really want to see insults you should read the messages on YORKSGEN. They got so bad the listowner suspended the list for 24 hours.Please reconsider your descision and continue to offer help. BTW I think it's OK to quote a copyrited source as long as it isn't more than 10% of the whole. I've seen that mentioned on the English lists I subscribe to - possibly the same applies to the U.S. Pat

Looking for two sons of Joseph L. Sayre. Henry D. Sayre & John James Rushton Sayre. Joseph L Sayre was a Deacon in 1st Presp Church in Goshen and died in 1854. I was wondering if anybody had Church or Cemetery records to look to see if John who supposedly died in 1882 & Henry after 1924 were possibly buried there. Thanks, Frank
