Please read these instructions and vote for the Choctaw-Web as best website by Nov. 30. thanks, rusty lang, web administrator http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~impson Which Site Is the "Best Genealogy Site on the Web"? Who has the best genealogy-related World Wide Web site? Do you have an opinion? If so, you can make your opinion heard in the fourth annual "Best Genealogy Site on the World Wide Web" award. You have the opportunity to honor a genealogy Web site with a "Readers' Choice Award" to be issued by this newsletter. The readers of this newsletter will pick the site to be named "Best Genealogy Site on the World Wide Web." This will be the fourth year that the readers of this newsletter have conferred such an award. I won't mention who won the award previously, as I don't want to influence this year's nominations. However, I will mention them again at the end of this year's elections. What guidelines are used to define the "Best Genealogy Site on the World Wide Web"? That is strictly up to you. You can nominate a site because it is interesting, because it has nice graphics, because it has excellent maps, or because it is full of valuable genealogy reference materials. I would suggest that you nominate a site because it is the one genealogy Web site you go back to and visit time and time again. However, even that guideline is optional. The choice is yours to make. When you cast your vote, you might write a couple of sentences about why you think this site is best, although that description is not absolutely required. I have set up an "electronic voting machine" that you can use to cast a vote for this "Best of the Web" award. I have great confidence in this voting machine; Florida residents will not have to conduct a recount! You can vote at any time from now until midnight Eastern Time on 30 November 2000. The voting machine will then tabulate the results. I will announce the winner in the December 2 newsletter. The winning World Wide Web site will then be allowed to mention the award on its Web site. That Web site also will be entitled to all the fame and notoriety that is included with this "Online Genealogy Newsletter's Readers' Choice Award." Enough said! To cast your vote, you must follow these instructions EXACTLY. A computer is tabulating the results, not a human being. Computers are not very good at interpreting what you meant to say; you have to be precise when talking to a computer. You must enter your vote in exactly the proper format. To cast a vote for "Best Genealogy Site on the World Wide Web," send an e-mail to: bestsite@rootscomputing.com The subject of the message must contain the full Web site address and nothing else. For instance, the message subject might be: http://www.rootscomputing.com p The message subject (some e-mail programs will say "Message Title" instead of "subject") MUST start with: (IF CHOCTAW-WEB IS YOUR FAVORITE, IT WOULD BE:) http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~impson Please list the exact address in the message subject, but do not add any other words. Do not say, "My vote is . . ." or anything like that in the subject; simply list the actual URL beginning with the letters http://. None of the following three examples will work: www.xyz.com My vote is for www.xyz.com My favorite Web site is xyz.com None of the three previous examples begin with http://, and therefore the computer program that tabulates the vote will ignore them. If you send your vote properly, you will receive a reply acknowledging the receipt of your nomination. You are encouraged to tell why you think your favorite site deserves such an award. You can do so by writing comments in the body of the e-mail. The automatic vote tally software will ignore the body text. However, once the votes are tallied, a human will read all the messages that nominated the winning site and will look for any comments about that site. Some of those comments may be published in the December 2 newsletter. By writing text in the message body, you are giving permission to reprint your name and comments in this newsletter. If you do not want your words or name published, please do not write anything in the message body. IAll votes must be received on or before 30 November 2000. You must send your vote to: bestsite@rootscomputing.com The message subject line must contain the Web site's complete address (URL) and must start with: http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~impson OK, which site is the "Best Genealogy Site on the Web"? Your vote counts.

Posted on: Johnston County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/Johnston/656 Surname: SULLIVAN, JONES ------------------------- Looking for info on STEVE J. SULLIVAN. He married FANNIE MARIS JONES in Ardmore March 8, 1896, He was said to be from TISHOMINGO, I.T. (now JOHNSTON CO., OKLAHOMA). Fannie had sisters Elvan (Elva Ann) Elizabeth JONES (1870), Sarah Cathrun Virginia JONES (1876), brothers William Richard and George Washington JONES (twins)(1874) and John Thomas JONES (1880). I believe some of Fannie's siblings and/or Steve J. Sullivan or Steve's relatives lived in Tishomingo in 1896.This Jones family was from Grimes County, Texas. Any information about any of these people would be appreciated. Steve J. Sullivan and Fannie Maris Jones were my grandparents. Married names of sisters unknown to me. My grandmother became separated from her family after her marriage to Sullivan. I knew my grandmother all my life and she never mentioned her siblings or her husband Steve J. Sullivan. Sullivan purportedly died in Canada looking for gold in the late 1800's. It would mean so much to me to find any members of these families.

Thanks for these groups of Waggoners, it brings up more questions for me. I'm looking for this fellow, Lowe Allen or Allie Waggoner (1888-1973) b. Gainsville,Cooke County,Texas was married to my great aunt, Nora Catherine Hobbs (1890-1913) ,Yell County,Arkansas, just after she died he married another Nora MNU ( - ) who had a family of mainly boys with Allie. I've only heard stories about the family, and that was a number of years ago. The descendant who told me about the families has now gone on. The way I had understood it, the Waggoner parents of Lowe Allen Waggoner were made up of a CLARKE and a WAGGONER. Neither dying until some time after, say, 1920. Is there any one else researching this surname?
