There are two Family History Centers in the greater Omaha, NE area where I live. They are completely different in their design, attitude, and in the records that they carry. But both have provided me with excellent experiences. I recommend that you all visit different centers in your area--you're lucky to have so many!! They are staffed by volunteers who vary in their ability to help, but all of the volunteers are there to serve. You can order microfilms and/or microfiche for approximately $3.50, then view them at the center for a month, and these can sometimes be renewed. What a deal!!! Both centers have the 1870 Census Index available on CD. This has been a great help! We have all benefitted from the work of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints--they are responsible for the preservation and microfilming of soooooo many records that we all access regularly on the Internet. I believe it's part of their mission to preserve the past--I'm sure one of our list members knows more about this than I do. Omaha was a big part of the Mormon Trail, but I'm no expert. And one more thing...the volunteers at the FHC's are not there to try to convert all of us to their faith. They're not going to bug you about religion. They just want to help you find your families. It's weird to just walk into these places the first time, but you'll find that you're welcomed by the people there, and I'm sure you'll get some help too. Ellen Bugs Papillion, Nebraska

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3RB.2ACE/339.2.4.1.1 Message Board Post: No, I didn't know you have a history of Ulster Co. NY. Gah, I wish *I* had one! Actually, I've found that most of my lines came from Orange County, especially a big move of settlers 1818 that went first to Catharine then settled Veteran town(ship). McKINNEY WELLER MILLSPAUGH at Sullivanville sound familiar? I believe John SHOEMAKER came up from Delaware twp, (now Pike Co) PA 1798 already. Not real sure when John and brother Abial Frye HILL came to settle permanently, possibly as late as the 1814 group or the 1818. John Hill and his kids were at Spencer Tioga Co NY on 1820 census so I'm pretty sure that's where a bunch of his kids met, maybe married, their future spouses. Brother Abial settled nearer Barton, on Shepard's Creek, I think it is. Say, do you know what churches were at Spencer 1820s? Gotta search for whatever vital stats or mentions wherever I might find 'em. The Erin researcher, was that Pat Wainwright? I correspond with her, she's marvelous! She found the record about week-old baby Catharine SPERRY who was taken right to Phebe Shoemaker to probably save her little life when the birth mother died. The father Basil had other children and shortly remarried and made s'more. I even recently got a look at an abstract of John Shoemaker's probabted will made in the week before he died (1841?) which abstract only mentions the adopted child - censuses show he had at least one boy and two girls in the household other than Catharine. I'm going to want to see all the real docs about that and search for any prior wills. Yah, we did well! We went through piece by piece and copied any small scrap on the issue, even found out who John Hill's daughters married and where the ones who'd moved to IL were, on some of those scraps! We know every rag of clothing and bedding he owned, who owed him money at death. Just not what surname of 3rd wife for those few years they were married. I've got reasons to think it more likely Elizabeth Westbrook, widow of Joshua - partly because ours are all in the Westbrook cemetery. (We cleaned headstones)

Surnames: HILL COLYER THOMAS WESTBROOK SWARTWOOD ARGETSINGER SHAPPEE FLANDERS VanAUKEN WEAVER SHOEMAKER SCHOONMAKER DECKER Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/3RB.2ACE/339.2.4 Message Board Post: I am very interested, after our research trip late last May 2002, in certain of those mentions. We learned that John Hill was father of Sackett and Hugh and a bunch of others. And that sometimes John is shown as Jno which some people assume is a Jonathan, but is 50/50 either given name. Also, on some census and other docs, Sackett is called Zachary! Local pet name, we have no idea. So. A "Jonathan" mortgage deed 1801 is possible but if so, per census, I am thinking he had not moved the family to Tioga yet, else it's a different John. John mortgagee 1815 and John 1832 are also possible. Thomas 1830 and John 1831 are also possibles. Now get this. Since finding John's will (he died intestate 1849 and Hugh as eldest son was named Executor, and all we've learned since then - there are 3 wives. Sarah (Sally) COLYER is the one grandmother told me. She also mentioned Sally THOMAS, I guess Colyer had died, we don't know yet. More children with THOMAS wife #2, who may have died early 1830s, have not found a burial for her nor for John. John also took a 3rd wife Elizabeth unknown who only probably lived with him perhaps 5 years. At the will probate &c it was stated that Elizabeth had not lived with John for 15 years following an "anti nuptual" and made no claim on his estate. By searching 1850 Cayuta censuses, each page and line, the two best candidates for Elizabeth, shown as widows, were a WESTBROOK (best bet) and a SWARTWOOD. We just did not have enough time at Chemung, we could have used 1-2 weeks more. I found mentions of land transfers by Elizabeth HILL and not knowing who she could be yet, did not get back to finding out what they were. The surname SACKETT's pretty much out of the picture now, period. I believe it's a given name. Sacket's father John, and his father also a John, named their sons after men they admired, and probably knew! What better way to begin in a new nation-to-be. The immigrant John appears to have shown up (from Scotland it's said, not proven) around Kingston, Ulster County, later Wallkill, Orange County NY, late 1740s. I really need to plan another trip to look at what's in deed records, from Owego, to Spencer, to Cayuta, to Erin, to Van Etten. I believe the last place was still in Hill family possession through the 1880 US census. Catharine ARGETSINGER (Hill) SHAPPEE, by then wife of Guy Maxwell Shappee, still lived there. I'd studied censuses from 1850-1880 in terms of who lived by/between whom to arrive at that likelihood. Shoemaker Hill, one of Sacket's sons, died in the civil war after having two sons with Catharine. I need to keep reading onward, those censuses. Do you perchance have access to 1825 NY state census for, I guess it's Tioga County still? I'd be looking not only at Sackett Hill, but John, Hugh, any others (Joseph, Abner, Morris) right close, also Abner FLANDERS, Cornelius Van AUKEN (any spelling), Peter WESTBROOK and a WEAVER who married Sacket's siblings. (sigh) I'll just bet the NY 1825 isn't going to be online anywhere, or available anywhere at all near me. Know what my current biggest mystery is at Chemung County right now? Learning who were the children of John SHOEMAKER and wife Phebe DECKER. The one child I can find documented so far is Catharine SPERRY whom they adopted one week after her mother died. Catharine's blood father was Basil SPERRY, Erin's very first resident. Why John? Effectively by elimination of Isaac and Abram but just as much to the point: my grandmother said so: that Elizabeth's father was John.
