Gallia Co Genealogy Society has their cemetery listings on line. Were you on the Gen Soc or the Historical & Genealogy site? They split two or three years ago but the Hist Soc won't give up. I have a couple of the cemetery books they published but if you contaCt Henny Evans she could help you.

Hi, Maxine. I was on the galliagenealogy.org site, which is (I think!) the one for Gallia County OGS, isn't it? I didn't realize the historical society still had a site. I found listings that may or may not be for a matched couple. They're both in the same cemetery, but I can't tell how close to each other the two are buried. That may or may not tell me anything, but I was curious. If you think my little "mystery" about Massies and Brumfields is bad, you should see the one involving Wilsons/Bakers/Romans! :) MRS MAXINE MARSHALL wrote: > Gallia Co Genealogy Society has their cemetery listings on line.

Maxine, The Historical Society does have a website but it has not been updated for several years. I am not sure why you would say the Historical Society will not give up since the split, why should they. They are preserving the History of Gallia County with their museum, military project and items of historical research at the society. They also have family histories and many research books that the Genealogical Society nor the local library has. Many cities and states have both a Historical and a Genealogical Society but it is because some want to keep fighting that have turned many people off to becoming involved in either society which is sad because both groups have much to offer. I have been President of both these Societies but because of all the feuding and fighting, I have chose to not be involved with either group at this time. I can tell everyone that people from both groups will be willing to help in your research and you should not worry about who is from which organization and maybe one day the fighting and back stabbing will stop but as long as people continue to say things like you did then the fire is continued to be fueled and the hurt won't be mended. I'm not trying to start a fight, only trying to make the one go away that started a few years ago, we are all trying to help people with their research in Gallia County. Many of us have volumes of research but walk on eggshells on this list because we don't know if we are going to be attacked by people we have never met but they have decided they don't like us because of this stupid split between the two societies. In hindsight, I believe there was more going on than most of us was aware so people on a web list should not judge and just except information that is given freely by whomever. I'm sure this email will not make me a popular person with many but hey, I've been there before and I am willing to help anyone with Gallia County history or genealogy and DAR information, if I possible and with no strings attached.

Thank you for articulating your views on this difficult situation... How sad it is that such differences are not easily resolved so that the mission of each organization can ultimately benefit all researchers. Thank you for your work.

Marjorie: I agree with you 100%! It's time for people to see what everyone has to offer and stop trying to steal the limelight from someone else.
