At one time someone mentioned a book on the Hammond Family. Can anyone tell me the name of the book and who wrote it? Thanks, Marci-Jo Mishoe Charleston, SC

My gggrandfather, Samuel French, bought land and moved to Chemung Township in 1830. I have wondered many times iof he moved there because of family ties. He is listed in the 1850 census as being born in Mass. His first two children were born on Long Island. He then moved to Chemung and had 4 more. I haven't made any progress on his roots. I joined the DNAFrench project and have made some connections. I have a 24/25 match and a 25/25 match. Both of the French's are from Mass. We still haven't put it together yet. Iwas hoping that more French males would enter the DNA project and see what happends. Charlie French

Samuel and Louisa Densmore Williams are listed in 1850 census for Burlington, Bradford County, PA. Does anyone there see mention of them after that? I have not been able to find cemetery listing or obit. They are my late husband's great-grandparents. His grandparents,Charles Cornelius and Elizabeth (Lizzie) Cloose lived in Westfield, Tioga County, PA.( No mention there of elder Williamses). Their son,my husband's father (Edwin Samuel Williams) was grandson of Charles C., who served in Union Navy in Civil War. What could have happened to Sam and Louisa sometime after 1850? Our 16-year-old grandson Samuel Williams would like to know all about his ancestor! Alice H. Williams

I have no idea if yellow fever affected populations this far north, but 1897 was a bad outbreak year for the mosquito-borne illness in the south. Someone had asked about fires, floods &c [Elmira?] but I'd already deleted when I recalled this. Kaye in Texas __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

thank you for adding advice. No one can ever learn every little trick until they have lived it. I had planned on telling folks not to store the cd's in a fire proof safe either, as the plastic in the safe melted. Did not burn but melted. Safes can be agood place for books. I had a few in there that are OK. I just never had room for all of them.

Thank you Carol for sharing your experience and knowledge with us. My heart goes out to you and your family. I also know that between your friends, family and God you will be OK. You are the second person I know of in the last few weeks who has lost everything in a fire. My other friend lost all of her genealogy data because she was the only one who had it. She had forgotten that I had info on her family. The more one shares their research the more people who will be able to share it with you should the need arise. I did not know about labels on CDS. Thanks for that tip as well. They make such a nice presentation...too bad. ===== Catherine Hollenbeck Comeau =^..^= Researching the Hollenbacks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

One more place - if you have it - at the bank - safety deposit box. I am going to place even every piece of my business invoices on CDs. I'm tired of having to check through organized files looking for just one invoice to check on an old order that was from 1997. And an absolute warning - NOT TO DO - put labels on CDS themselves. They are the worst enemy because the chemicals in the gummed side of labels corrode the layer where the data is stored. Use indelible Sharpie Ultra Fine point permament marker and write info on the CD slim cases and put CD inside the cases. This information is from very recent research done by scientists who were puzzled over the rapid loss of data and the number one culprit was the use of gummed labels on the CDs. Number two culprit is in moist and sunny location. I have hundreds of photos from 1920s to scan to CDs and still a big headache sorting them out before putting on the CDs for good. Hint for photos: Never scan the photos for less than 350 dpi setting because you will want a print later to get same quality result as if you had the negatives developed and prints made. I know this from my own experience. W.
