One of them Pittsburgh area and the other in the McKeesport, Glassport area. there is a Johann and a Leopold. Do you think we have a connection?

Dear List Members, Here it is the end September and time for the Third Quarterly Report for 2001. This past month has been a difficult time for all of us, but we made it through it and each of us are trying to get back to normal, or as normal as we can again. Part of that getting back to normal is our quarterly reports. Again, for your information, the OKMAJOR Mailing List has 82 members, 71 on the Regular list and there are 11 members on the Digest List. If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fullers Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. If someone posts a message to the list that should not have been posted, please just delete it. Know that I am taking care of the problem. If you post your unhappiness, then you just continue on the problem. I know it is hard when your heart has been offended, but for my sake, and the sake of the list, please just delete it. Rootsweb has a wonderful Spam Detective and it stops most of it. You should see what comes across my screen. I have to look at each of them to make sure that what was stopped was truly Spam. Once in a while, one slips by though and if this happens, just delete it and go on with what we all love, genealogical research. 2. If you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line it might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. 3. Remember to change the Subject line when you change the topic of the posting. It is confusing to me and the member when your subject line has nothing to do with your posting. Most likely it will get deleted and you will not get the response you are looking for. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 4. The wonderful relationship that develops between list members is also one of a Mailing Lists Problems. I encourage you to respond to the entire list with genealogical responses, you never know who your response will help. In the same thought I would like to ask you to not respond to the entire list with personal responses. Such as, the first message from a member says "Happy Birthday Mary" and then Mary says "Thank you and then about 60 of our members also send "Happy Birthday Mary". Mary then sends out 60 more "Thank You" messages. This is what I mean by personal messages. Just keep in mind anything is ok to be posted as long as it has to do with the subject of the list. If you have a doubt ask me. KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net If one of these items come across the list, just delete it, do not respond to it. I am taking care of the problem, quietly behind the scenes. I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. Kathleen Burnett List Mom KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net

I would be interested in hearing about your Long names. Apparently they had a child named Leon who died young and I don't think they had any children. To my knowledge, none of the other brothers or sisters went to Oklahoma. C.W. Long was born in Kansas but grew up in Rome, Olin, Jones Co., Iowa; and Stanwood and Tipton, Cedar Co., Iowa.

My great great grand uncle was Christopher Ware Long, who was the husband apparently of Emma A.

I'm pretty sure there is a connection back there somewhere & it will be fun to figure that out. I know that there were 2 Tobias Jantz on the same shiplist that my GGgrandfathers was on, I don't know yet if they were related- sure they were but I don't know the relationship to each other they were, one was abt 10 yrs or more older than my ancestor. There were also alot of Unruh's on board. I found a shiplist in the book, A Brother in Need is a Brother in Deed...or something like that with out looking up my records. I've met another Jantz researcher -Bill Ikerd this summer who might be of more help on finding the connection & will forward your note on to him if you send me more info on names & dates in your lines-& He lives in Kansas. We met at a Jantz family reunion in Moore OK & I gave him some info on my Jantz lines from Julia- one KS census listed her as July... They lived around McPhearson, maybe near the Lone Tree twp? until abt 1901 when Tobias & family came to Meno area of Major Co OK. Julia Jantz married in 1903 in Caddo Co OK to Clayborn King & listed Johnson on her marriage license. Love to find out more on your Jantz lines. Thanks again for the note.

I, as you, hurt and want to cry out and scream to the world "that something has to be done", "we hurt", "why". Those who lost loved ones will continue to need the support of their fellow man while they either wait for word of of their missing or are burying their dead. I expect no less of each one of us and the days pass. The time has come though, for us to begin the process of trying to live our lives in some kind of normalcy, by trying to slowly bring our lists back to the topic for which they are designed. Therefore as I opened the lists for you to express your grief, I now, most respectfully, and with sorrow, ask that you help me bring them back to the topic of the list. Today is the last day for posting of your feelings and thoughts to the list regarding the tragedy. If you have not had the chance or have felt strong enough to share you feelings with us you can still post them at http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=usa-tragedy.mourning I want to thank each of you for the manner in which you held our flag high this past week, for the manner in which you shared your sorrow, for the manner in which you shared your grief without attacking one another or any culture. I especially want to thank those members who hurt as badly as those who posted regarding what has happened in their world, but could not deal with seeing this horror on their genealogy list. They never said a negative word, but let those who needed this time and this way to express their sorrow have it. These members were true friends to each of us. I ask now that each of you help me to again close the lists to any topic other than the topic of the list as of tomorrow morning, Sunday, September 16th, 2001. I appreciate each of you and thank you for the support I am given by each of you.

I believe what you have found may very well be the Leslie indicated on my great-great-grandmothers marriage certifcate. If I can locate an Ole Oleson in this area then I have struck paydirt. I recently located my her grave stone in Lahoma, Oklahoma and was attempting to track her movement after her 2nd. husband died, a third marriage to Ole, and prior to her death. I have had no luck in locating Leslie in Woods Co. as indicated on her marriage certificate. She did get around because I know of three marriages! This geneology is new to me. Its been a great experience because of individuals like yourself. Thanks again! Rox
