Does anyone know where I can find photos of theWWII MP's at Fort Ontario? My dad (Harry Edward Rowsey) was in them. He met my mother Helen Leona Dawson here and that's how I came about. If you find any, he's the tallest one by a head in the photo. I saw it once but didn't get a copy.

----- Original Message ----- From: Diana Law To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, November 02, 2003 10:16 PM Subject: Genealogy Column Dear Stars Magazine: What has happened to our Genealogy Column? I have been looking each week thinking that I had missed it the week prior. It appears that you have dropped the column. As a board member of CNYGS, I must say that would be a real blow to all of the folks who are trying to do family research. We count on the book reviews, local notices of conferences and meetings and of course the queries. In fact, I answer some queries for our organization and very often, I refer folks to your column to submit queries, especially if they are out of our area. I realize that computers have changed the way genealogy is done BUT there are so many researchers who do not have or use computers. We need to serve them too. Genealogy is a very fast growing hobby. Is there any chance that this will be reconsidered? CNYGS meets this week-end and I fully expect this topic to arise. We usually have between 80 and 100 in attendance. Is there anything that we could tell them? Is there someone on the staff that we should directly approach as a group about this? I very much appreciate your attention in this matter. Regards - Diana J. Law, County Packets Coordinator - CNYGS

Hey gang...I have noticed many strings on this website (NYOSWEGO) using a Subject Line (RE:) that has long since been exhausted. Please try to remember to change the subject line if you are changing the train of thought of your reply...from the original. It will save us all time and effort. Thanks again! Rusty Okoniewski Orlando, FL

I would like to express my gratitude to the organizers, sponsors and presenters and classmates who helped to make the conference an example of things to come for our Family History community. A labor of love, well done! Jim Hartigan Camillus, NY

Linda I don't have a document. I think you made a mistake. but I'am looking for the Mitchell surname from oswego, n.y. Judy

Laura: I would love to view your document. Where is it posted? Linda Hansen Charlotte, NC [email protected]

Rather than respond directly, the following I have discovered, sums up the way lists work. It's important that we keep open minds, get balanced viewpoints and be tolerant of others, if we are to become stronger as a genealogical community. If I or you help one to become stronger, then we all become stronger when he helps us.

Rootsweb and the local Genweb sites have relied on "people helping people" since their inception, and this is a prime example of someone doing just that. Many people subscribe to a local mailing list as their first step in their search of a new region, and anyone who is willing to offer their assistance is an asset. The Central NY Genealogical Society may be an organization well known to most of us who live locally, but the person who lives in Oregon, has just discovered his connection to Central NY, and subscribed to the list for the first time, would no doubt deeply appreciate someone telling him about CNYGS. And offering to find out what library or Family History Center in his local area might have copies of Tree Talks for him to research in could be seen as a big help. > I realize that for those of us who are long-time list members, it can get annoying to see the same post time and again, but, as has been suggested, it is a simple matter to delete it if you recognize Mr. Hartigan's name and don't care to read his messages. Some of the newer subscribers may be seeing it for the first time and welcome the assistance. > My guess is that many people have no idea the volume of people who subscribe to the list, post their queries, wait to see if there is any response, and then unsubscribe within a relatively short time. As list manager, I get copies of all the subscribe/unsubscribe requests, and I can assure you that there are many many people who will be reading a message from Mr. Hartigan for the first time the next time that he responds to someone's query. I have had people do the same for me when I put out feelers as to how and where to proceed in researching a new area of the country, and I welcome every shred of assistance I can get. > As list administrator, as well as adminstrator for the Cayuga County Rootsweb BB, I have virtually hundreds of e-mails come across my computer for review each week. I know that Mr. Secaur will be helping people by looking up cemetery entries from online sources, saving someone the time of searching themselves. I know that Mr. Hecht will be posting messages about new pictures that he has scanned and added for us to enjoy. If the topics aren't of interest to me, I know that I can delete them quickly, but I certainly welcome their contributions, and know that some other list member will appreciate their efforts. > I apologize for this being a long-winded message, but I again, respectfully ask that we end this topic and get on with the much more pleasant task of searching for our twigs and branches. If anyone feels the need to pursue this issue further, please do it to me personally and let's keep the list free of personal disagreements and focused on the genealogy we all want to enjoy. > Regards,Kathleen DeckerNYCayuga List Administrator > > > ==== NYCAYUGA Mailing List ==== > Have you visited the NYGenWeb project home page lately? > http://www.rootsweb.com/~nygenweb > > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >

Dear List, Please let me apologize for sending that last email with the document attached and the resulting alphabet-soup mess! I meant to send that to Betsy only. That's what I get for being in a hurry! Humbly, Laura Munski

Thank you for your concern and help with the Sprague family information. The people that lived in Oswego, that I am primarily interested in are those people with the last name Earl, Earle, Earll, and Sitts. Alexander Selkirk Earl, married Cynthia Sitts. Alexander Selkirk Earl will be found on the Oswego Census as Selkirk Earl. Alexander Selkirk Earl was I believe the son of Watson Earl Jr. Watson Earl Sr. was the R3194 Rev War pension file. Cynthia Sitts was the daughter of David Sitts. David was born 1813 in Minden, Montgomery, New York. David was living in Oswego about the time of the Earl and Sitts marriage. The wife of David Sitts was Charity, do not know her last name. I think David Sitts father was the Peter Sitts that was Revolutionary Pension W6056. (Sitts has various spellings also) David was not noted on the W6056 pension file abstract. Even though several children of Peter Sitts was mentioned, in the pension file. Peter Sitts (W6056) was born in New York, from what I understand. I have found several Peter Sitts names and have not defined his father. The two families that are difficult for me are the Watson Earl Senior and Watson Earl Junior. Their last names was spelled the other ways noted above. They are related to the Ralph Earle immigrant, not the Edward Earl Immigrant. Ralph Earl was born CA 1632 England, married to Dorcas Sprague. Edward Earl was born about 1670 England, married to Hepzibah Butts. The Edward Earl branch is not the family I am looking for. But, there is connections of the Edward Earl family in Oswego area for his descendants. One in particular is that of Joseph (or John) Earl born about 1730. This Earl a loyalist was involved with Hoag, they were noted for robbery. This Joseph Earl was suspect of taking three English horses from Henry G. Livingston of Oswego in the 1781 time frame. But Joseph Earl is in another unconnected family branch in America and not a person I am researching. One Story I have read is where The robbery victim was tied to a chair and a fire was set beneath the chair, the location of the money was demanded of the victim. Some times the victim would not or could not comply.
