I just published some of my year-long genealogical census research results regarding my various LANEs, BARBERs, SMEDES & HARRINGTONs of Greene and Ulster Counties, New York State (and many more) on my RootsWeb's WorldConnect page at: http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=carlos_barber I've been working mainly with the 1850 census and later. I will be updating this WorldConnect page/section as I know more over time. It is my intention to keep this web address. I bumped into a Civil War photo of Francis "Frank" Augustus BARBER on the web, and put it onto my website at: http://www.lighthousewoods.com/genealogy/barber/barber_francis_augustus.html I asked the party who posted the photo where he got the photo, and never received a reply back. I think the photo was probably published in some book, but what book I don't know. Someday, I'd like to know what book, and perhaps obtain a copy. From the photo, I can tell that I have Frank's hands: BIG & STURDY -- nothing delicate about my hands. My brother looks like Frank, which I'd never known because I'd never seen a picture of Frank before (to my knowledge). I have Frank BARBER's Civil War pension papers. Among the papers mentions how Frank's disability & chronic pain he suffered after he returned from the Civil War was caused by a bullet ricocheting off of Calvin HARRINGTON's rifle (son of William & Anna HARRINGTON; brother of Emeline), then into Frank's upper torso, right shoulder area. Calvin & Frank fought side by side in the war, and from what I am able to gather, were pals from at least 1860 until their deaths. L. J.
