Dear list members, I want to apologize to the members of this list. My comments to my new cousins was not an intentional slur on anyone. I have been trying to find my greatgrandmother for over 25 years. I just never was able to make the connection to anyone. Matter of fact I was not sure whether Mary E. Daniels was her married or maiden name since she had a son William Daniels. As in everything I assumed that it was a married name and had looked up William to see if I could find out who his parents were. Able to accomplish this I turned to the fact that it might have been her name and that she had not been married. I think that I was unable to find her because the time was not right. I believe that everything works out for a purpose. The day I posted to this list was the day that Mary , Kitty and Robert had just updated their rootsweb post. I found it and was over joyed when they confirmed my suspicions. I immediately looked for Jesse Daniels in the Gallia County census. I found out all of Mary's siblings, and other folks from PA with the Daniels name. I am overjoyed at the fact I have 3 lovely new people to claim as living relatives. My father is the last of his family. He is 82 years old. I have add 3 generations to my chart. I took a chance and it turned out great. That is what it is all about. Chances that we take. If our relatives had known that we would be looking for them way back then, maybe they would have left us more clues. I enjoy a great mystery. I extend a hand of friendship to all of you. Let us put this experience behind us. Let us not assume that someone is unskilled or skilled in doing research. Let us not preach but help with info. If you need advice on how to search or where to search then ask for it. If anyone has relatives in the southeastern part of the state, Meigs, Gallia, Lawrence, Jackson, VInton don't hesitate to either email me or get on those lines. We are extremely active on these list and you will find helpful people with great information. I do obit lookups in the Gallia County area and can do the Meigs County lookups. I like to end with this Be proud of the place in which you live, and live so that they can be proud of you. Have a great future, I remain , Cheryl Ann Thomas Enyart, VP of the Galllia County Genealogical Society. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Mary, I am not the list manager of this list, but do have several of my own, have created the Chester County Pa website, and am the county coordinator for that county....I do send a Welcome Email to everyone who joins my lists, that contains what I think are helpful pointers on how and what to query, useful URLS and even a rootsweb article on how to write an effective query. My aim is just to help folks find the information they seek, and encourage them to add to the general knowledge of our area by answering the queries of others and to post things of interest, both to the list and to the genweb archives. If you'd like I'd be glad to send you one of the Welcome emails - although it is geared to a different county the aims are the same, and applicable to all; to find out what we ourselves seek and help others do the same, while adding to the collective knowledge of our county through the archives.

I'm afraid you misunderstood, for these lists are NOT for personal comments, as between individuals - those pointlessly fill everyone else's inboxes and are archived for no good reason. Why on earth would I send something of this sort to everyone on the list? What SHOULD be shared is information...... any sort of genealogical data that could help others, which is the point of these lists.......and, if the information is send only to an individual who requested it, what a waste of 'good stuff' that might help another. Most of this is just common sense. If we wish to get others to answer our queries, then we want to make it clear what, or who our posts are about......ditto when answering the query of others. Many folks just give a cursory glance at the subject and delete it if it doesn't appear to be of interest, or isn't clear, so the best way to get others to read our queries is to make it clear what they concern. By the same token, as I said before, many people, just like me, browse the various list archives, looking for things of interest......if there is something I think might be of interest, then I click on the subject and read it, but if it has one of those useless subjects like roll call, etc, it gets passed up. Thus, whether the post is for our own query or to share information, the better the subject, the more likely it is that others will read it....which, is what we're all after. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary" <ohioislandgirl@comcast.net> To: <OHJEFFER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 8:35 PM Subject: Re: [OHJEFFER] Send gen. info to all, please. > In response to this message from Sandra Ferguson.

In response to this message from Sandra Ferguson. You made this statement about always posting to the list and you emailed Cheryl Enyart with some comments that she was not happy with. She is my cousin and I emailed her without posting to the list but was told in the following email to make sure I post to the list. Why didn't you post your comments Sandra? My at least were polite. She has decided to leave the list after such a short time because of the rude remarks you made to her. This list should be to help people not to correct their email etiquette. I will never post again. I am not interested in receiving insults in my inbox and then being told to put my comments on the list. As I have seen you are not the list master so maybe you should stop trying to run the list and let us poor folks find each other and give genuine help out here to others.

HI ALL; I have been on the list since 1999. feel like it is letter's from home. and I have never been there. the answer to the post question is yes, Sandra is the list manager, and I guess technically owns the list. she is one of the best list masters we have had. she will try and answer most newbies questions, I know she has lots of information about the area and is a tireless helper. For the newbies on the list, Hi, glad you are a part of Jeff-L. Don't be shy, post your queries, we all get them and if most of us have info we chime in. hope you stay awhile and learn more of your family. Have fun too. just an old ladies observations. Warrene in La.

I have names that have more than one spelling, and if you type in just one, you only get posts with that one spelling....easier to browse the subjects than to type in 10 spellings of the same name. Besides, I like to brouse, looking for anything of interest, and what is in the subject slot if most important....if it didn't matter why have a subject slot , or bother to put in a subject at all? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Sohn" <ssohn@bright.net> To: "Sandra Ferguson" <ferg@ntelos.net> Sent: Tuesday, October 07, 2003 4:32 PM Subject: Re: [OHJEFFER] correct subject in the subject slot > When I do an archival search of any mailing list I print the surname I am > looking for, hit search, and find what I'm looking for if it is there.

OCTOBER IS FAMILY HISTORY MONTH Long Beach's Questing Heirs Genealogical Society is celebrating Family History Month by offering the family researcher a free consultation at the Long Beach Public Library, on Ocean Boulevard every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon from 1 PM to 5 PM. Help has been available at the library every Wednesday and Saturday afternoon throughout the year. However, during October a beginner's packet will be available and additional experienced researchers to help launch inquirers into the fun and educational opportunities of looking for grandparents and the history that surrounds them. October marks the 3rd annual celebration of Family History Month since the U.S. Senate unanimously approved legislation on September 26, 2001, just 15 days after world history was made on September 11. According to the PBS "Ancestors" program website, family history has become the second most popular topic on the Internet, and the third most popular hobby in the U.S. As of September 1, 2002, another top genealogy website, FamilySearch.org, had 8.8 billion hits and 1.7 billion page views since it launched in May of 1999. It is estimated that more than two million separate websites are devoted to genealogy. "This is a huge day for the more than 80 million Americans who are believed to be actively searching for more information about their ancestors. "Millions of Americans are researching the history of their families," said Senator Orrin G. Hatch, the Utah Republican who introduced the Family History Month resolution. "Experts say that in the United States, genealogy is now the second most popular hobby next to gardening." "It is only natural that we want to find out more about our ancestors," Hatch continued. "What better way to bring families closer together than by discovering more about the story of their own family? Like it or not, who we are today is in large part, a product of our ancestors." Hatch's bill (S.R. 160), which was co-sponsored by 84 other Senate members, commemorates October as Family History Month and encourages President Bush to issue a proclamation calling upon the people of the United States to observe the month of October with appropriate ceremonies and activities. "With the advent of the Internet, there has been an explosion of interest in family history," Hatch continued. "Last month alone, more than 14 million Americans used the Internet to research their family history. Genealogy Internet sites are some of the most popular sites on the World Wide Web. My church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, has family history information on nearly 500 million individuals on its family history web site, FamilySearch." Resolution Designating the month of October each year as "Family History Month" Whereas it is the family, striving for a future of opportunity, and hope, that reflects our Nation's belief in community, Stability, and love; Whereas the family remains an institution of promise, reliance, and encouragement; Whereas we look to the family as an unwavering symbol of constancy that will help us discover a future of prosperity, promise and potential; Whereas within our Nation's libraries and archives lie the treasured records that detail the history of our Nation, our States, our communities and our citizens. Whereas individuals from across our Nation and across the world have embarked on a genealogical journey by discovering who their ancestors were and how various forces shaped their past; Whereas an ever-growing number in our Nation and in other nations are collecting, preserving and sharing genealogies, personal documents and memorabilia that detail the life and times of families around the world; Whereas 54,000,000 individuals belong to a family where someone in the family has used the Internet to research their family history; Whereas individuals from across our Nation and across the world continue to research their family heritage and its impact upon the history of our Nation and the world; Whereas approximately 60 percent of Americans have expressed an interest in tracing their family history; Whereas the study of family history gives individuals a sense of their heritage and a sense of responsibility in carrying out a legacy that their ancestors began; Whereas as individuals learn about their ancestors who worked so hard and sacrificed so much, their commitment to honor their ancestors' memory by doing good is increased; Whereas to encourage family history research, education and the sharing of knowledge is to renew the commitment to the concept of home and family; and Whereas the involvement of National, State, and local officials in promoting genealogy and in facilitating access to family history records in archives and libraries are important factors in the successful perception of nationwide camaraderie, support and participation: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Senate -- 1) designates the month of October each year as "Family History Month;" and 2) requests that the President issue a procla- mation calling upon the people of the United States to observe the month with appropriate ceremonies and activities. As Dr. John Daly, Director of the Illinois State Archives says in his article, "Genealogy Power," (Ancestry Magazine, May/June 1999) "Family historians and genealogists have replaced academic researchers as the principal users of public archives in the United States. The combined memberships of the American Historical Association and the Organization of American Historians today are twenty-eight thousand. A study published in American Demographics in December 1995 cited that 113 million Americans have some interest in genealogy, and that 19 million have a strong working interest in the field . . . If the administrators of public archives in the United States had to rely upon the use of archives by academic researchers alone to justify the existence of archives, they would find it extremely difficult to do so." There are numerous activities that the family could do to celebrate this month. Some of the suggestions are to identify everyone on the photographs; assemble and tell the stories behind family heirlooms; start a personal journal of thoughts, or beliefs; and join a local genealogical society to learn different research methods. Historically Healthy is also known as medical genealogy, it's important because many of the factors that determine our health today were inherited from our ancestors. To learn about yours, simply begin with what you know. Go generation by generation, noting when illnesses occur. Include dates of birth and death, ethnic background, patterns of ill health, birth defects, allergies, hearing or vision problems and general routines such as diet, and tobacco or alcohol use to flesh out details. What you learn now could save a family member's life tomorrow.

If you could include more information, such as township they lived in (if known) as well as what religion were they and give more dates and marriage information, that would be helpful.

Hi, I live in Monroe, Michigan. I would love to help with the cemetery project, but I live about 5 hours away from Steubenville. A little far for daily trips. If there is anyway I can help online please let me know. Serena in Michigan

I Think Sandra brings up a valid point. The only way this data base will help everyone is if we all share vital information. I only recently found the names of my gr gr gr grandparents because of data I listed on here. Someone researching a different maternal family line had information i desperately needed to break down a brick wall. The only thing I had known was that my gr gr grandfathers parents were from Illinois or Indiana. He found that his amelia kinder was married to a francis price and had Samuel (my line). And so he found me because I always post my queries on as many lists as I can.

I am looking for a death date for Wm. and Sarah Boyd West in Jefferson Co. Ohio. Per article about there son Thomas they both died in 1830. Are there records or cemetery record back that far. Any help appreciated. Vi -- Vi Poland email address vipoland@cox.net

I would like to invite you to the Jefferson County Chapter, OGS Cemetery Extraction-Preservation Project Meeting Slated for this coming Tuesday, Oct 7th, 2003 from 7-9p.m. at the LDS Church on Powell's Lane, Wintersville, Ohio. This will be our third cemetery project meeting. Our goals with this project: To locate ALL cemeteries throughout the entire county, clean them, repair them and extract the tombstone inscriptions. This project is a MASSIVE undertaking and began Nov of 2002, but we involved aren't scared of hard work that has such wonderful end results! I can personally inform those on this list that if you have seen a Jefferson County Tombstone Inscription publication and your ancestor is NOT listed in it, that ancestor MAY STILL BE BURIED in Jefferson County. We have found MANY tombstones that have never been recorded, including small remote farm and family burials that have NEVER been recorded not to mention all the tombstones that are long gone from our view! If you live within driving range of this meeting and are the least bit interested in your ancestors burial grounds or assisting with the clean up portion of the project, or tombstone extraction, or can do data entries onto an already formatted spreadsheet, PLEASE ATTEND THIS MEETING. IF you are still interested and can't attend, please feel free to contact me directly. Flora at verstraten@prodigy.net I am interested in gathering hostorical information about all cemeteries, pioneer families, and pioneer churches where no apparent records exist. If you are researching Jefferson County, Ohio and aren't a member of the JCC OGS, go see what you are missing at the chapter website, www.jeffcochapter.com You can print membership forms, First and Pioneer Family forms from the web site as well. When you join, you will recieve ALL back issues of the newsletters for that year! Our quarterly newsletter will keep our members informed of the progress of this cemeteryproject , our wonderful finds as well as our disheartening finds. We will give updates as to when we will be ready to publish our first of several tombstone inscription books. When all of the townships are completed and all of the volumes are complete, we will have a COMPLETE MASTER SURNAME INDEX, histories of churches and cemeteries with some photo's included! Check with our local newspaper, The Herald Star in Sunday's (Oct 5th, 2003) Issue, under the title of Editorial's for my remarks concerning the "The State of Jefferson County Cemeteries!" at: www.hsconnect.com (you may have to look around the web site to find it!) There was a rather large article in last Sunday's paper concerning the cemetery project as well. Hope to see you there! Flora VerStraten

Jean, Talk to Jim about this name. We may have figured it out if you don't receive a response from someone of this list. I have the records for Bacon Ridge Church and they may match Hannah's tombstone data.

I am the Mary that was refereed to in the email from Cheryl Enyart. I did not share the info I gave to Cheryl by posting it to the list because I gave her a web site. I was not sure if this was appropriate for the list. My two cousins and I have put together a web site on rootsweb which is on our family. I told Cheryl to go there and see her ancestor Jesse Daniels who happens to be the brother of my GGGrandfather William Harrison Daniels. Here is the web site (in fact it got so large there are two) in case it will be of help to others. Mary Daniels http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=jdonnell http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOW&db=d92234&recno=1522 This second one has no children listed for John Donnell but it begins again with John Donnell in the first web site and go on to list his children.

The idea behind these genealogical lists is to share information, and this means sending it to everyone on the list, rather than just to the individual. One never knows who will be helped by information asked for by someone else, and I'm sure we've all found clues, etc in posts that weren't directed to us. The list postings are also archived, so that folks can search the archives at a later date, and find info that might be helpful in their research. Thus, it's a good idea to send genealogical information to the list in general, and personal thanks to the individual. ..none of us need to read personal emails to others, but sure could use the data...
