Searching for information on Daniel RUSSELL of New York and Jane BURNS of Norman Oklahoma. Jane was said to be part Indian (Cherokee?) and lived for a while on a reservation. Daniel and Jane were married and had Homer Leroy Russell in February 1900. I don't know if there are other children or not. I am stuck and don't know how to learn more. Any help appreciated. Pattee

I also live in WA state and have the same problem as Julia. I need lookups in OK. I live in WA state and can help here if need be or I have Old Settler Payroll Book and Cherokee Miller Rolls and Dawes Rolls if that will help anyone. I am looking for a kind soul to lookup an article that appeared in an Oklahoma newspaper in the 1950s. It should be easy to lookup because the surname that appeared was the only line in the US then or now. The surname is THASSLER. The article was written in the 1950s and concerned a Theodore Franklin THASSLER who was supposedly the youngest Railroad engineer in the history of the Acheton, Topeka, and SantaFe Railroad. Am also interested in any other information about this surname. He also had a son with the same name. He was an immigrant from Germany. Willing to pay for this service.

National Archives Statement on Records Center Fire U.S. Newswire 1 Mar 15:39 National Archives and Records Administration Statement on Records Center Fire To: National Desk Contact: National Archives Public Affairs, 301-713-6000 WASHINGTON, March 1, /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following is a statement from John W. Carlin, archivist of the United States, on the Feb. 29 Records Center Fire: Yesterday (Tuesday, Feb. 29), the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) reported a fire in its Washington National Records Center in Suitland, Md. The fire was contained by the Center's fire-safety system and extinguished with no reports of harm to staff or visitors, but some records were damaged. The following is an update on that from Archivist of the United States John Carlin. Although much work will be needed before we can be certain, we believe that of the total of more than 3.7 million cubic feet of records at Suitland, approximately 3,000 cubic feet were in the immediate area. Of those, fewer than 300 cubic feet may have been destroyed. Most of the affected records were wet or damp from sprinkler water or in singed boxes. Our staff at Suitland stayed up through last night making valiant efforts to protect records from water damage and otherwise dealing with the fire's effects, working with personnel from the General Services Administration, from which we lease the facility. The cause of the fire is as yet undetermined. Because the property is Federal, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms as well as GSA fire investigators were notified. As the investigation continues, the following is what we know about the fire so far. The sprinkler alarms were activated at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, and alerted the GSA Control Center that there was a problem. The first fire company arrived sometime between 2:45 and 2:50. A fireman on the scene was overcome with smoke at which point firemen abandoned Stack 15 to open the roof hatches to vent the smoke. This process apparently took approximately one hour to accomplish before the firemen returned to Stack 15 to begin to extinguish the fire. The sprinkler system contained the fire during the period between 2:30 and 3:50 at which point the firemen were able to enter the stack. At 8:13 p.m. the firemen on the scene felt that the fire was sufficiently extinguished to allow the investigation to begin in the stack. Our tracking system enabled us to identify the records on the shelves affected by the fire, and agencies whose records may have been affected have been notified. But we won't be able to identify exactly which records have been affected and how seriously until the investigation of the area is completed and we can examine the materials more closely. I will provide further information as it becomes available. ------ For further information, contact the National Archives public affairs staff at 301-713-6000. -0- /U.S. Newswire 202-347-2770/ 03/01 15:39 Copyright 2000, U.S. Newswire --part1_d2.15edbbb.25f3e062_boundary--

Joann The letter I am forwarding to you speaks for it's self... Mr Muncrief has an attorney working 'pro bono' drafting the necessary paperwork to try and change the antiquated laws that do little to protect our old cemeteries. Emailing Mr Muncrief at [email protected] that you are FOR changing the vague antiquated laws will show lawmakers that there is BACKING for this cause.........OUR CAUSE! Thanks for your time Carolyn Mackey Byrum Subject: Grave desecration Carolyn, My name is Dennis Muncrief. I live in Sulphur, Oklahoma. I just read your cemetary registration of Dripping Springs and the part about the farmer wanting to graze cows. He must be desperate for grass if he needs the 4' x 6' spot where your grandmother is buried. Recently a farmer decided to build a barn in Marshall County, OK. Unfortunate a small cemetary was where he needed to build it. This "man" simply scrapped away the stones to make room for the new barn. Unfortunately for me, the cemetary was where my relatives were buried in the mid 1800's when they came to Indian Territory. The family was livid to say the least. The barn is very nice. This cemetary was on private land that was donated 100 years ago by the, then owner, for a cemetary. Generations of families were buried there with the understanding it would always be a cemetary. The current law says that the owner of private land where there are cemeteries can do anything he wants with it. Now if you are an Indian, there are federal laws against this 'grave robbing'. Isn't stealing the land where ancestors are located grave robbing? A friend of mine in California told the story of a cousin that went to a cemetary in Grady County, Oklahoma to visit the dead relatives. When she arrived, the farmer was bulldozing the grave stones into a ditch. When she protested, he pulled a gun on her and threatened to shoot her. She went to the Sheriff and he told her there was no law against this practice. The point of this letter is to tell you that there are many who feel as you do. We need to organize. I have a friend in Washington State who is drafting a letter that I plan to send to legislators in every state making it a felony to destroy graves or grave markers that were placed in antiquity or of recent pioneers such as Oklahoma pioneers. There were no cemeteries back then. There were no towns. I plan to organize people like yourself in every state to hound their state legislators until a law is passed in all 50 states to protect these pioneer cemeteries. It is up to people like us to do something. We can be mad separately or we can be mad collectively. We will be a little more powerful if we organize. This has me mad as hell. I have talked to about a half dozen people in different states and they are upset as well with similar occurrences in their States. Want to join the bandwagon?

A big Thank You to all the nice people who wrote me with offers to help! I should have asked this list(s) long ago instead of running in circles for the past few months! Thanks again!! Julia

Hi Lists I need the help of a kind soul who lives in Del City or Duncan or, even better yet, near the Oklahoma Historical Society in Oklahoma City. I have been advised by my local library system that Oklahoma does not allow newspaper microfilms outside of OK on interlibrary loan. I tried to contact the Duncan Banner (newspaper) via email without a response from them. Duncan Cemetery is too large to do look-ups. Since I am in Washington State, it would cost me $30 to get two obits from the Oklahoma Historical Society - if someone would be willing to help me, I would be happy to pay for gas and lunch! Please email me privately if you would be able to help, which would be greatly appreciated! Thank you Julia

Nancy, I don't think I will be able to help you much, I don't know what time frame your Laniers are in. It is my understanding that most all the Laniers are related to the first Lanier that came to the US. I have not researched this line yet. What info I do have came from a cousin who found some queries I had put up for Texas. He has been researching for a while...at any rate, my Lanier line migrated from Brunswick Co. VA. to Mecklenburg Co, VA. to Rutherford Co. TN. The info I have on my Laniers is as follows: See if any of it looks familiar to you.... Lemuel Lanier, b. 1743, Brunswick Co., Va.; d. feb. 1817 Rutherford Co, Va., Probate Apr. 1817. Parents are Benjamin Lanier, b. 1712, and Elizabeth WARREN ; Lemuel m. Lucy MALONE b.28 Oct. 1745; parents: Thomas MALONE and Millicent Chappelle. Children of Lemuel Lanier and Lucy Malone: 1. Patricia Martha Lanier b. 1768, Mecklenburg Co., Va.; m. John S. Fagan on 05 Jan. 1786. (My line) 2. Elizabeht Lanier b. 1770, Rutherford Co., TN; m. Drury Floyd on 25. Nov. 1791 . They moved to Rutherford Co. TN 3. Mary Lanier b. 1778 ; m. Abner Kelly in 1798. It may not help, but may give you some places to start looking that you may not have known about. If you make a connection to this line...please let me know....and good luck to you.
