This is a general reply to Patticake as to where she might find info regarding Salome Bott. When I am searching a surname in Monroe County I ususally begin by searching the 12 volumes of Monroe Co Genealogical Records and then I procede to the four volumes of Monroe County Newspaper Abstracts compiled by Rita Kopp. The Abstracts are for the Spirit of Democracy for various years. I have found valuable info as to marriages pre 1868 as well as notices of what states people moved to. If your ancestor was involved in some type of legal action it was usually printed in the newspaper. If it is in the abstracts it is then easy to go to the microfilm of the newspaper to read about it and many times also to records in the Common Pleas and Probate Courts in Woodsfield to read the actual record. Abstracts are available for purchase from the Monroe Co. Genealogical Society and there is a printable order form available at the Monroe US Genweb site. My last comment is once we hear that the Monroe courthouse burned we sometimes think no old records are available. However, the Court of Common Pleas records did not burn and with patience and a few leads before you go the records of Common Pleas contain a huge amount of info This is my first posting to the list and it is a bit too long, but I would be glad to share some tips about how I have found info in Monroe Co. if someone has questions. I have a large number of surnames there--along the riverfront and in the Center Twp. area. Janet .

Hi, Still looking for our BOTTS, and finding roadblocks all the way. Came across a marriage record in "Monroe Co. Genealogical Records, Vol. 9" in our local library. It said "Married on the 30th of March, 1862 by Rev. Frederick Wucherer, Mr. Jacob BOTT and Miss Salome JUNG all of this county." Have checked David Distler's site and although there are several JUNGS, there was no Salome listed. I have a feeling this may be our gr gr grandfather Jacob BOTT, born 1839, as his son Jacob was born in 1865, and 1870 census shows Jacob Sr. married to Elizabeth , who was Jacob's stepmother, which we've been able to prove as he married Elizabeth POHLMAN/BOEHLMANN on Sep. 2, 1866. Could this Salome JUNG have been Jacob Jr.'s mother and possibly died giving birth or shortly thereafter? Does anyone have information as to when Salome JUNG-BOTT may have died and is buried? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Pat Owens

You are mistaken about the copyright issue... In most cases the companies DO NOT abridge the rights of the original info compilers. Read the notices on their webpages... they are generally fair. THis discussion went on on another list, Macoupin-L, from Illinois... A gentleman from Ancestry explained their position very carefully and I agree with it.

Whether we agree or not is not really the question. I, too, dislike the FTM, etc, and will not submit my information to them. But, what about the little guy in Anywhere, Ohio, that puts together, by the sweat of his brow , a book on "whatever".....and we, give out pages and pages of his hard earned information. My point is, as long as we abide by the letter of the law, we can give each other help without giving "the big boys" fuel" for the copyright furnace. And really, I get sort of tired of people asking for everyone named Smith or Jones, listed on a CD or in a book. I simply write back that if they will send me some given names I'll be glad to look them up...that is within the law and more than fair, I think. -----Original Message----- From: Ron Jeffers <sgtfury@hotmail.com> To: ferg@wvinter.net <ferg@wvinter.net> Cc: OHMONROE-L@rootsweb.com <OHMONROE-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Thursday, April 08, 1999 8:39 PM Subject: Re: [OHMONROE-L] Fw: copyright >This is a personal pet peeve of mine and I'm prepared for the flames >that'll come back on this one.

Did anyone see the nice piece on geneology that Martha Stewart did in her April 1999 issue of Martha Stewart Living? She highlighted some beautiful, artistic family trees. In particular, I am interested in the big, symmetrical fan wall chart. I've seen several different kinds of wall charts produced by geneology software, and haven't been particularly happy with any of them. The fan chart in the magazine is simple, and filled in by hand, on one large sheet of paper. The one shown went back 10 generations. Does anyone know where one can purchase such a chart? Mail order would be ideal. Thanks!
