I was a visitor to the Cemetery in late April. Does anyone know any history about the church located across from the Cemetery ? My relatives relate a story of a Methodist Episcopal church in Brownsville which was near their home. Could this have been it ? Bruce Collier San Luis Obispo, CA

I read the request wrong! After sending a reply I read it again. The surname for Mary M. was NOT Burrier but it was Burner........maybe I should wear my glasses when I am on the computer? Sorry Susan Burrier Snyder

RE: request on info of a Mary Magdalena Burrier who married a Mr. Ward in 1839. I have extensive Burrier tree info. In it I find no Ward surnames. Only Mary Magdalena Burrier that was in the Licking/Muskingum area married a William Sterling Crown on Oct. 27th, 1827 in Muskingum County, Ohio. She was born Aug. 27th 1806 in MD and died on Aug. 31, 1887 in Iowa. This Mary M. Burrier was the sister of my great great grandfather Jacob and he married William S. Crown's sister Charity. IF there was another Mary Magdalena Burrier in area I would appreciate anyone sharing the info with me. I am always pleased to share what I have also. Susan Burrier Snyder

Where is the best place to search for a marriage that took place in 1839 in Licking Co., OH? Is there an online database accessible or is there a publication with a marriage index for that year? I am searching for proof of the 21 Feb. 1839 marriage of Josiah Spencer Ward (son of Jonas and Elizabeth DeWeese Ward) and Mary Magdalene Burner (daughter of Henry and Mary Cullers Burner) in Newark or Licking Co., OH. Thank you. Pat J.

Hello, there are lots of very good online sites that are willing to post your images. I would like to offer my project and let you know that I would be delighted & honored to add them to the USGenweb Tombstone Photo project. Here's the url so you can see the site, it contains images representing hundreds of cemeteries from all over the state of Ohio: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/oh/tombpics/ Here's a link to a page which gives more specifics on size and other information needed to donate them: http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/oh/tombpics/donate.htm If your images are 1mb or larger, you really should try to reduce them to somewhere in the neighborhood of 100kb more or less, try to reformat them to a size no wider than 450 pixels, if you plan to attach them to email. Since you have so many, if you have the ability to burn a cd, you can leave them at their current size and if you're willing to send a copy to me, I can place your images online. Regardless as to whether you send them to the Ohio Tombstone Photo project or one of the other sites that generously share this data for all family researchers, I'm sure there will be a lot of descendants that appreciate your kindness in sharing the photos of ancestral loved ones.

Terri, I would suggest that your first step would be to join the Association of Professional Genealogists http://apgen.org Once you are a member of this organization, you will then be able to join the APG/Great Lakes Chapter. The Board for Certification of Genealogists http://www.bcgcertification.org/ offers certification in three research categories and two teaching categories. The International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogists http://www.icapgen.org/ is another program and offers accreditation. Both programs are quite intense and do require quite a bit of preparation before you are ready to take the plunge. Get involved with your local and state societies and volunteer to help out with a project or two. I would suggest that you attend some national conferences. They have great lectures and sometimes you learn the most just by networking with your colleagues at a luncheon or banquet. The NGS Conference was in Nashville last week. There were quite a number of lectures available in various tracks and the BCG had their own track. Many of them were recorded and are available through Repeat Performance. http://www.audiotapes.com The Federal of Genealogical Societies (FGS) Conference http://www.fgs.org/ will be held in Salt Lake City in Sep 2005. There will also be a APG Professional Management Conference for a whole day. There are also some national workshops held annually that will help further your education. The Samford Genealogy Institute in Birmingham, AL and the National Institute on Genealogical Research (Washington, D.C.) are the most well-known of the workshops. I also would suggest that you purchase the "BCG Genealogical Standards Manual," the "BCG Application Guide," "Professional Genealogy: A Manual for Researchers, Writers, Editors, Lecturers, and Librarians," and "Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian." The few professional genealogists I know that are able to support themselves fully through genealogy are researchers, speakers, and authors that have been involved in the field for quite a number of years (10+) and are known nationally. Some of them have world-wide recognition. Most genealogists are able to supplement their income from their research (for example, pay for their trips to conferences).

I am sending this question to the three list I am on. I apologize for any duplications. I am considering taking the courses to become a certified genealogist. Does anyone one know if genealogist are able to make a career of this? I am no longer satisfied with my current position and would love to make a career move to something I love.

The "1875 History & Atlas Licking County, Ohio" by L.H. Everts lists a Thomas Seymour on page 47. In the article it states that he was born in Virginia in 1756 and with his son, Adam, came to Ohio in 1803. With them came three hired men. Has it ever been determined who those hired men were? My reason for asking is my Whitney "stonewall" is Milton Whitney who claimed in his Civil War pension application to have been born in Licking County in 1817 and his mother died a few days after his birth. Her name is unknown but from an old letter it is thought to have been Black. Milton's father left the child in the care of a Spencer family and was never heard from again. Which Spencer family is also unknown as is the father's name. Possibly the family was General John Spencer or his brother William. Milton was given a guardian in 1836 and he was the County Clerk, Franklin Fullerton, and the bondsman was Israel Dille who was to become mayor of Newark. I have seen the original form for the guardianship case and there is no name, only a hand drawn line, where the name of the deceased should have been. Milton married in Madison Twp. in 1843 to the daughter of John H. McKinney, she was Margaret. They named their first child Seymore and he was born in 1844. Two more children were born in Licking County before the family removed to Knox Co. and then to Morrow County about 1854. Milton died in Morrow Co. in 1891 and one of the persons who signed a statement that Milton's wife was left certain items had evidently come from Newark to sign. He was William R. Seymore who was the youngest son of the Thomas Seymore who entered Ohio in 1803. He was born in 1812 and was a few years older than Milton. I have looked for years for any connection to the Seymore and Spencer families and can find nothing solid. It might be possible that one of the three hired men might have been Milton's father. Any one know their names or any other information that might be of help? Thank you, Ben Whitney in California.
