Bonita, If you get a chance, could you look up Elizabeth Davis (1885); I'm also curious if you have Ann Davis and a Morgan Davis about that time and a Howard Davis from about 1900. thanks, Joe Bonita Lock wrote: > I purchased the book at the Portage County Historical society and it is 329 > pages with both Edinburg and Palmyra cemeteries.

I purchased the book at the Portage County Historical society and it is 329 pages with both Edinburg and Palmyra cemeteries. The Palmyra section is 187 pages. I could purchase the book and mail it to you if you would like. The book was $29.75 plus whatever the cost of postage to mail it to you. Otherwise I'd be happy to look up any names and e-mail that information back to you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "shirley a whitfield" <sandj31@juno.com> To: <OHPORTAG-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 27, 2002 8:58 PM Subject: Re: [OHPORTAG-L] Re:Davis Family in Portage County (Palmyra) > BONITA, IS THERE ANY WAY THAT YOU CAN SEND ME WHAT YOU HAVE FOR THE > PALMYRA CEMETERY.

My Portage County Davis connection also has a Williams. Elizabeth Williams married to Evan Davis. of course only if Jones is the most popular Welsh surname, Davis and Williams are second and third respectively!

It has happened to me so often, I took all my information off-line. I even had someone tell me that he had researched my family line and when I examined his "results", it was my own research and writing word for word. I put erroneous information into a "post", so I could determine who was abusing my data. I flamed him to death!

I photographed and e-mailed, to a possible descendant, pictures of tombstones in Palmyra West Cemetery, Portage County of Noah Smith (died 5/11/1845 age 83yrs 6mo) and wife Hannah (died 4/16/1858 age 93yr 3mo). I also attached a picture of the cemetery entrance showing the cemetery name. I'd be happy to e-mail them to anyone interested. I also sent the same photographs to OHCemeteries@aol.com.

What is the earliest that births were recorded in Portage County? And where are those records housed? Appreciate any assistance. Nancy Edwards

Joyce, The first link doesn't seem to work or they have taken off the info from the site. The 2nd link goes to the surname index where you have to click on S and then search for your Steinfurths name and then you have to choose one of the names before you read the notes section. I read the notes and I am afraid I don't think I would be angry. It didn't sound like personal info about you. It was info about the Steinfurths that you had found or had questions about and they gave you credit for the info at the end of the notes section. That is something I would do if I wanted to include someone's research which I might feel to be accurate and to give you credit for it since you had shared it with the person you emailed the info to. That is what I want to do is share info with others on the people I am researching and that is why I post it. Any info I find posted or emailed to me I try to document as to who or where the info came from so I don't have to remember and so that others will be able to contact the correct person for any questions. I am assuming that some info may have to be corrected in the future and I want to be able to trace to the source. I am not the one who posted your info but I can understand why they did. It might be best if in the future you put a little caveat at the end of your emails not to post anything on the internet without your approval to avoid this situation. If someone asked me to remove data from my tree that they had given to me I would follow their wishes. I am researching the Leverett Norton and Charles Curtiss families of Portage Co from early to mid 1800's. Good luck in your research.

I was searching on Rootsweb.com for info on my Steinfurths and found a personal email that I wrote about them posted online, along with all the info I had researched. Since it's already online, I'm sending along the link to show you what I'm talking about. I'm quite angry about someone posting my personal email online without my permission. Has this happened to anyone else?

Joyce, It could easily be an honest mistake. In my genealogy program I can copy an e-mail message in a source memo. When the program created reports, these memos did not print. So I thought nothing of them. With RootsWeb using GEDCOM for data transfer these memo's showed up! To make matters worse it was several months before I discovered this. I needed to use a double exclusion marker or curly brackets to hide it. It took awhile, but I did get it squared away. I felt bad about it, but fortunately no one complained.

GREAT WORK TERRY :-)! I know I saw a EVAN DAVIS researcher just on looking for their family...this should help them out :-)!!! Davies & Davis were used inter-changeably...especially by census takers. So one has to look for both names anyways :-)...Thanks for all your hard work...
