Sue THANK YOU. Your message was wonderful. Mickey

Malinda, According to my notes, the father of Isham(father of Moses, b. 1804 Elbert Co., GA) was Moses O'Neal--b. ca 1755. I'm not researching your Moses directly, but his brother, Wiley Jackson.

Oh Carl, Thank you so much I had just about forgotten how good it was to wake to the sound of the rooster crowing in years past. I am going to forward it to my sister. It will certainly bring back memories to her also. She is always sending me something like this. Very much appreciated. Have a very happy thanksgiving. If you get a chance visit this web site.

Loved it! A bit of humor to put into the day to help cheer all. Thanks and Mahalo! Betty

Really enjoy reading how everyone is spending this Thanksgiving Day. My husband and I are alone, watching the Detroit Lions play football. Our son and his wife are coming in early tomorrow morning as he had to work today. We are thankful that our daughter and her family are back in the States after four years in Germany and that all of our children, grandchildren, great grandchildren are well! Jill, thanks for the receipe. I make a candied yam/sweet potatoe that is a must on the Holidays. I also use fresh yams/sweet potatoes, then slice, add brown sugar, butter and top with marshmellows. Bake until the marshmellows melt into the yams. Thanks to all the O'Neals. Mickey

Jill, Thanks for the recipe - sounds Wonderful! We will have that for Christmas. Actually, can't complain too much about our weather, today. Very sunny and in the 60's! Good weather for us, here in Kansas. And much better than our awful summer humidity! Well, it's about time to go get the potatoes and stuffing going! Have husbands relatives coming in a short time. Thanks again for the recipe - will be thinking of you Christmas when we enjoy those yams! Brenda P. S. Love your web site but could you add a 'pic of husband, too!

Hello Betty, Happy Thanksgiving and thanks for the note. Really can't complain too much. Our weather is very sunny and to be in the 60's, today. We've had a very warm fall. Actually this is much better than our humid summers. Noted your O'Neal is with one L, also. Are you by chance connected to any O'Neals from the Caldwell County, Missouri area? My line is from my gr. mother, Lena O'Neal. Her father was Edward, his father Mark. They're all descended from Hugh O'Neill/O'Neall of Ireland/Delaware. "Cousin" Brenda [email protected]

Also enjoyed the Wallet Story Jill, thanks for sharing. We have started at our house, "Come on over!" My son Barry, wife Kathleen and sons Matthew and Kevin arrived this evening (Wednesday 11/25) >From the "Windy City" for the Holiday. Our Daughter Jennifer arrived home Tuesday night from the University, One sister - in - law, one brother - in -law, one sister, one nephew and wife and two grand nephews will be spending a festive day around a table piled high with too much to eat, much laughter and considerable prayer for the nephew and his family who had to make the choice to remain at home while struggling with the trauma of Chemo Therapy. Later on Friday, son Chad and friend Holly will join us for another go at it all over again. If you have the time, do stop by! We are located nearly dead center continental USA, Can't miss us.

That would be wonderful Brenda! You're invited. Nothing would please me more than having a huge family Thanksgiving. Its wonderful to read about everyones plans~thanks! Here's my simple recipe: Pineapple Yams Drain a Large can of yams ~ empty into baking cassarole, swish with fork Large can of chunk pineapple ~ swish into yams, don't drain juice Brown sugar and butter ~ add 1/2 box and mix, then dot with butter Bake til bubbly ~ yum Easy and soooooooo good......Aloha, Jill ---------- : From: [email protected] : To: [email protected] : Subject: Re: [ONEALL-L] The Wallet : Date: Wednesday, November 25, 1998 5:30 PM : : Boy, : Think all we 'O'Nealls/O'Neals/O'Neils, etc. should have all gone to Jill's : for Thanksgiving! Wow! That note about the 'beach' sounded great, too! : Maybe we can all make it next year! : Brenda - stuck in Kansas :

Jill I just wanted to thank you for "The Wallet" it really brought back a lot of memories. We had our thanksgiving Sunday. My 85 yr. old mother lives with me so everyone gathered at our home. My sisters will have their family thanksgiving tomorrow with all their children and in-laws and a brand new grandbaby boy. My mother and I will visit after dinner (self defense). I know the my cyber cousins from Louisiana can really cook up some good food. My sister-in-law is from New Orleans and she makes the most wonderful dish of crawfish enchiladas for our family reunion. I too would love to have the sweet potato( or is it potatoe?) recipe from you Jill and the "Sweet Potato Soufflé" from Julie. Hope everyone has a happy and carefree thanksgiving. Norma O'Neal

Hey Jill I know this is a genealogy list and I know that asking for a recipe is tantamount to murder but those Pineapple Yams sound pretty good. How about sending it on to me off the list. Not right away, since I lucked up and don't have to cook tomorrow, but when you have time. I live in Louisiana and yams (we call them sweet potatoes) rank right up there with crawfish and gumbo as our local delights. Your way of cooking them sounds like it would taste really good. Enjoy your traditional dinner. My mom always has to have english peas for Thanksgiving even though we all hate them and never eat them. Now, it's a family joke and there would probably be an uprising if they were not on the table. Traditions do count for a lot. Happy Thanksgiving all!
