OK, so apparently I sent out a blank email yesterday. I don't know how that happened-- so sorry. I thought I was doing a good deed by passing this information along. I didn't know I was going to mess it up. I sent a couple emails yesterday and they were all blank. Weird, huh? I found the Yates county 1890 Civil War census on CD yesterday, and wanted to pass along the information in case anyone here was interested. It looks interesting if you have Civil War ancestors in the area. Here is the link if you wanted to check it out: http://cgi.ebay.com/1890-Civil-War-census-Yates-county-New-York-genealogy_W0QQitemZ170219458328QQihZ007QQcategoryZ20927QQcmdZViewItem or you could just go to ebay and do a search for Yates county New York 1890 census. I hope this helps someone! Bob M.

The 1860 census is now interactive, for the first time anywhere. Footnote has just released the 1860 census with the ability for you to add your comments and contact information on all of the entries. There is a full explanation of the whole process on the Upstate New York Genealogy Blog at: http://ny-genes.blogspot.com This is unique and should prove very interesting and helpful.

Hi, listees, Found in the *Western Star*, Penn Yan, Yates Co, 23 April 1833: "MARRIED--In Canton, Conn. on the 10th inst. Mr. I. F. TERRILL, Merchant Tailor, of this village, to Miss SOPHRO- NIA MILLS, of the former place." Hope it helps somebody! Lorraine Allrelated -- "As is the generation of leaves, so is that of humanity. The wind scatters the leaves on the ground, but the live timber burgeons with leaves again in the season of spring returning. So one generation of men will grow while another dies." Iliad, VI.146-150, trans. Lattimore. So, tell me again, why the heck am I raking up all these leaves?

Hi, listees, Pat, and Guyanoga1, I promised to let you know if I was able to obtain a microfilm of the actual newspaper wedding announcement in the *Western Star* from Penn Yan, that Guyanoga1 referred me to. Finally, Interlibrary Loan was able to come through again! It is *clearly* not "Busse." Her name definitely was Lavina BARSE, unless the reporter got it wrong! The text, missing and mistakes intact, is: "MARRIED.---In Starkey, on the 13th --st. by Rev. Mr. Adgate, Mr. WARREN --ILLS, to Miss LAVINA BARSE, --th of this viliage. [The Printers were --membered.]" The left side is missing about 1-2 letters (cut or torn) from the original that was microfilmed, but the text is very clear as "Barse." I am happy to scan and email a copy to anyone who is researching the family of Warren Mills (or anyone who wants it, actually!). Does the reference to The Printers mean that they received some compensation? Or cake? :) I do believe that the name couldn't be anything else but "Mills," especially because Warren Mills signed, along with many others, an open letter to the "Independent Republicans of the County of Yates" in a later issue (I don't have the issue date for this letter because I messed up the copying for that page from the microfilm). And Warren Mills and John Barse appear next to each other in a list in Lucas County, Ohio in the early 1830s as lot owners. And I found a census record for Warren and Lavina Mills in 1850 in Olean, Cattaraugus County. They have one child at this time, Henry H. (I think it's an "H"), whom I have not found in any family trees. So, I think that it is entirely possible that this Lavina BARSE may be one of the missing 3 of 8 Barse siblings. The age and timing are right, and John BARSE, wife Betsey RANDALL BARSE, and children lived in Yates County after Ontario County, and before the en masse migration to Olean, Cattaraugus Co. Theresa and Rebecca BARSE, two of the siblings, married and lived in Penn Yan. Proven siblings: Rebecca R. Barse m. Abraham Wagener/Wagner; C.V.B. Barse m. Mary Helen Wade; Theresa H. Barse m. William N. Potter; William B. Barse m. Rebecca Pixley (my 3x greatgrandparents); Mary H. Barse m. Stanley Martin. It would be great to add Lavina Barse to the "known" list. Does anyone else have information regarding Lavina BARSE, other than what I have noted above? Is there information out there that would indicate that she could NOT be one of the missing siblings? If not, she's going on my tree as a *possible* with reasoning and caveats. It might also explain why CVB Barse named his son Mills Wagner Barse, after the two brothers-in-law, and why my great uncle named *his *son Mills Miller.

Sometime after 1920 they moved together to Yates Co. (Italy & Penn Yan the most apparent places) they had 2 boys, David Francis Kennedy and Donald Kennedy. Fannie died someone has reported in 1927 , I have not been able to find proof of that. David died in 1954 in Smeal Nursing home @ age 32. David had married Beulah Henries.

He was born in Junius, Seneca Co.NY I'm hoping through these posts to find some family with a family history that will take us back another generation. Again thank you for your info.

Author: Guyanoga1 Surnames: Scott Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.newyork.counties.yates/1837.2/mb.ashx Message Board Post: I'm no relation, but I did see that this family left Yates County between 1855-1860 for Ontario County. Since vitals weren't kept until the early 1880's, you'd have better luck requesting records from Ontario County. Gad died in Geneva on 16 Mar 1894, so you may find a death record for him with his parents names on it. Sarah died 13 Sept 1880, so there probably won't be a record for her, but you may find her maiden name on a death record for one of her children. Obits can be a goldmine too. Good luck.
