I want to know if anyone with WEBTV is able to search on the newly revised FamilySearch.org website of the LDS? Since this past weekend I am not able to get to the search screen because of a message sayng I need a browser update 4.0 or higher. Is anyone else who uses WEBTV able to run a search? I am posting a complaint to both the LDS and WEBTV for forgetting about us WEBTV users! One problem - I can't get to the LDS help or feedback screen to register one with them! audiana@webtv.net Diana

Hi, folks . . . Forwarding this from TheShipsList. Appears to have been written by someone who works at NARA in answer to a Lister's simple question: What is the Soundex? It's an excellent explanation and contains just about everything you wanted to know about Soundex Systems and were afraid to ask. Kathy W-F woodside1728@qwest.net ----- Original Message ----- From: <SmithinDC@aol.com> To: <TheShipsList-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2000 5:42 AM Subject: Re: [TSL] Soundex An excellent question <name snipped>. And one we should all ask ourselves occasionally, just to stay in touch with reality. First, a brief but direct answer to your question: The Russell Soundex System is an algorithm (sp?) that assigns numerical values to certain sounds in a word, no matter what letter produces that sound. "Soundexing" a name results in a Soundex code consisting of a Letter and 3 numbers. This is the actual first letter of the last name followed by the first three "sound numbers" following that letter (i.e., R###). So Smyth and Smith, Muller and Miller, Collins and Cullens all come out with the same code. This is a useful system for indexing/arranging individual records since even two brothers might spell their name differently, or because the census taker spelled everything phonetically rather than asking for a correct spelling, etc. I'm sure you see the value already. Mr. Russell saw the value and even got a patent on his system, I think just after WW I or in the early or mid-1920's. He sold it to businesses, he sold it to governments (he may have sold the rights to Remington Rand Corporation). Today it is in the public domain and most computer programs include soundexing formulas (I think they are "fuzzy searches"?). Anyway, I'm afraid the Soundex system has become another victim of inadequate historical perspective. Searches on the internet turn up a variety of explanations of the Soundex system, most of which have invented a strange history for that system. And in my opinion that strange history is the product of an optical illusion one sees when looking backward in time. Go read all the Soundex descriptions for yourself. They all go something like this: It was the 1930's and the government needed access to or information from the Census or from other records (in some versions they are under pressure to produce "reports," in others they need to access age data in old records in order to process Social Security applications). Whatever the reason, either the WPA or the National Archives invented the Soundex system to solve the problem and to save the world for democracy. No one mentions how private industry was already using the Soundex system before the National Archives "invented" it, nor how the WPA or National Archives applied their Soundexing to records not in their possession. Of course there is a kernel of truth here. Various U.S. Gov't agencies did purchase the Russell Soundex System in the 1930's to be used in several large-scale indexing projects performed by the WPA. Those projects came about because 1) the New Deal sponsored a variety of "make work" programs during the Great Depression, and the "white collar" projects often involved records management issues, and 2) the new Social Security program needed age data from other government records to process applications. So it all came together--indexing certain government records at one agency to support the operations of another, new agency. At the National Archives, we generally run into the Soundex system when consulting indexes to Census records and Immigration records. And here is where one encounters great danger if they assume that the National Archives invented the Soundex and Soundexed all these records. The danger lies in thinking that one agency, following one set of rules, Soundexed everything. If that were so, then one would not find any variation among all the Soundexed records. Since there are cases where people do find the same name under different Soundex codes--depending on the record set--we know the assumption is false. Researchers usually attribute this difference in coding to "error." Surely some of it is error, but some of it is easily explained by the fact that the Census records Soundex project followed different coding rules than the Immigration records Soundex project. And just because the WPA created all these indices does not mean the WPA was in charge of everything--rather, the WPA acted as contractor to different agencies, and followed the rules dictated by their employer. The rules issued to researchers at NARA are the Census Soundex rules, and these will result in the wrong Immigration records code in about 3% to 8% of names. This is especially true in the case of Eastern European names--a problem so troublesome that a separate algorithm for coding Jewish names was developed by Jewish genealogists. So, <name snipped>, this is more information than you ever wanted. Suffice it to say that when you encounter a Soundex index, you will first have to follow instructions on coding the surname in question before you can actually use the index. If you go to the Soundex index cards and do not find even one example of the surname you seek, go looking for some alternate Soundex Coding Rules. The Soundex before you may not have been created using the Census rules distributed by NARA.

Hi Listers I am looking for information on the family of my ggg grandfather, Israel GRAY. He was born around 1772, was supposedly from Chester County and was a Quaker. He was a millwright by trade and moved to Westmoreland County some time around 1800. I was given information by another family researcher that his father's name was Joseph Gray (b. 1747?). I have found a Joseph Gray listed in the 1790 Census in New Garden Township, but no evidence that this is the right person. I am not even sure if Israel's father's name was Joseph, but it is the only lead I have right now. Any help would be appreciated. Dave Gray

Listers- I have just found another piece of the puzzle for James DAVIS/ Keziah PHILLIPS, daughter of Samuel PHILLIPS and Keziah ABRAHAM. Now, some of you may have already had this, but, in case you did not... James DAVIS and wife, Keziah PHILLIPS, had the following children that I'm aware of: 1. Samuel DAVIS, born 6 December, 1785. 2. Joshua DAVIS, born 10 July, 1787. 3. Zachariah DAVIS, born 10 January, 1789. 4. David DAVIS, born 6 May, 1793. 5. Hannah DAVIS, born 8 November, 1795. 6. Keziah DAVIS, born 29 March, 1798. 7. Mary DAVIS, born 25 January, 1806. I would like to add a marriage date for David DAVIS. He married to Mary WOODALL (WOODLE) in Spring Grove, Green County, Wisconsin, on 22 November, 1822.

This may help those of you who may be struggling deciphering some of the abbreviations encountered on the later Census Schedules and Soundex.

Any information would be greatly > appreciated. > > Thanks, > > Josh > > This is from the Village REcord, Item #20065, dated January 9, 1866. History - New Londn Academy - We learn that this time honored Institution, located at New London in this county, has again been opened after a lapse of some time, by the appointment of the Rev. James L. Mackey, as Principal. Mr. M. was one of its former pupils, but for the past sixteen years a Missionary at Cousco, on the Western Coast of Africa, but not being able to bear up agains the climate, has returned to his former home and to the genial work of the instruction of youth. Under his care it will no doubt again take its place beside the many first class institutions of the kind for which our county has become remowned. This Academy is a part of the history of our country, and as such we refer to it. In 1739 the Rev. Dr. Francis Alison established here a Classical School. In 1741 it was adopted by the Synod of Philadelphia who made it a free school, supported by its churches, and continued Dr. A. its Principal. - He was a famous teacher of that day, and among his pupils who became distinguished, were Charles Thompson, Secretary of the First Continental Congress, Rev. Dr. Ewing, Provost of the University of Pennsylvania, Dr. David Ramsey, the Historian, Dr. Hugh Williamson, Rev. Dr. James Latta, Thomas McKean, Governor of Pennsylvania, George Read and James Smith, the three latter eminent lawyers and signers of the Declaration of Independence. On the removal of Dr. Alison to the College at Philadelphia in 1752, this school was removed to Newark, Delaware, and out of it afterward grew the Delaware College at that place. What may be considered the modern New London Academy, was established in 1828, and was in successful operation many years, a number of eminent men have presided ovr it. Our worthy townsman Wm. F. Wyes, A.M., who is now the Principal of our popular West Chester Military Academy, had charge of it a number of years. In his time, 1849, it was burned, but speedily replaced with a superior building on the same site. This school has exerted an excellent influence upon the community in which it is located, by raising its standard of intelligence. Besides this, many hundreds of youth from this and other States shared in its advantages by obtaining an extended education. Very many of them deserve well of their country, whether as professional men, teachers, farmers, men of business or veteran heroes of the Army and Navy - among whom may be mentioned our own lamented Lt. Col. Thos. S. Bell, Major H.W. Caruthers and a host of other warriours, who have battled for the rights of the nation or laid down their lives in its defence. All from the Village Record. Florence

Josh . . . I can't give you any specific information on the Academy other than the fact that I had a cousin in the mid 1800's who taught there. My family (WOODSIDE) lived in New London in the 1750's to 1850's. When we were in the area in the late '70's I know the building was still standing because I remember photographing it. I looked briefly through Futhey & Cope's 1881 History of Chester County and couldn't find any reference to it but believe I've read about it there. Have you been to the Chester County Historical Society Web Site? That would be the place to start, I think. Those folks are very knowledgeable and quite helpful. If you can't find information on their site, there should be addresses (mail and email) there that you can use to contact them. If anyone have information on the Academy, they do.

Does anyone have details on the 1820 census? I found a Michael LANDIS in the index in Coventry and would love to know the family composition and his age then. Also a Mary Jones in Coventry. I believe she was a widow and would like to know what else in on that census. Can anyone help? Thanks In Alabama, Diana

Does anyone know about the above church? I am actually looking for records that possibly would have been attached to that church, but for a circuit that became Christ Church Episcopal Church in Leacock Twp., Lancaster Co., PA. I was told by a woman who works at the Lancaster co. archives that although most of that church's records are held by St. James' Episcopal Church in Lancaster, St. John's Episcopal Church in Compass (also called Compassville) in Chester County also has some records of Christ Church since it was formed from St. John's in 1818. All right, you Chester researchers...anyone know about this??? :) Sharon

I am lookng for a Jones who would have been born abt 1765 and married Mary DUGAN, dau of James DUGAN who died in E Nantmeal (at least that's where his will was from). Mary (1766-1866) married ?? Jones and had dau Elizabeth in 1810. They were both mentioned in James DUGAN's will of 1825. I'm not sure when Mr Jones died, but Mary JONES was on the 1850 Census in Daniel LANDIS household in Warwick as a widow. (Daniel had married her daughter ELizabeth.). She lived with them until she died at age 99 and 11 m. in 3/1866. She is buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Parkerford and there are other JONES there including an Abraham who died in 1812. I suspect he is the spouse but have no proof. Can you help me find an Abraham JONES? I wondered if he could have died in 1812 War? I don't know if there is a flag at his grave or not. Thanks...

James Nixon, Brandywine Hundred, New Castle County. on April 3, 1731 bought 100 arce farm, 3 miles north of present day, Wilmington. He was a native of Ireland and probably a Presbyterian (he may have attended the Lower Brandywine Presbyterian Church, founded in 1720. Thomas Milhaus appears in New Garden, Chester Co. 28 day of Feb. 1729/30, presented his Irish cerfiticate. He had come from Timahoe County, Kildare, Ireland. They had with them a servant girl, Ann Cuunningham, age 16. Thomas Milhause settled on a 200 acre farn in Steyning Manor, 3 miles west of Kenneth Square and 11 miles from Wilmington. His deed lists him as a cooper (barrel-maker). Thomas Milhaus moved to Pikeland twp. Chester Co., in 1744, his will written Feb. 2 1765, leaves his 3 eldest son, John, James and Thomas, 5 shillings, he mentions his wife Sarah Parker and his youngest son, William (went to Ohio in 1805. James Nixon died in Brandywine Hundred in 1775. He leaves his wife Mary 60 pounds plus 1/3 of his estate. To his 3 married daughters, a sum of money, to his daughter Jean, a sum of money. His eldest son George, he left the plantation where John Reily formely lived. To son James Jr, he left the plantation "where I am now living". The oldest son George moved to western PA. William Milhau's grandson, Joshua V. Milhaus went to Indiana in 1854. George Nixon's grandson, George Nixson the 3rd went to central Ohio in 1853. Frank Nixon, the latters grandson went to Calif., in 1907, met and married Joshua Milhaus's granddaughter, Hannah Milhaus, who had gone to Calif. in 1897. Their son Richard Milhaus Nixon was born in Calif. in 1913. Question, did the two coopers, Thomas Milhaus and James Nixon ever meet? Best Wishes, Geri

I believe that I have missed out on some postings. I get the digest. For a while all was normal, then a couple of digests with only a couple of posts in them, then I get this diatribe about rudeness, but I never saw the posts that began the argument. I have found this list to be full of very many nice, helpful people. I am sorry that some people must be nasty. I certainly hope nobody will unsubscribe because of one or two rude people. The rude people will not be with us very long if they continue this behavior. The best thing to do about rudeness is to ignore it, not to start a diatribe, and to complain privately to the listowner.

This is a guess at best, Judith, but I have a copy of the Heads Of Families from the 1790 and there are five columns for each entry. They read, from left to right: Free White Males of 16 years and upwards, including heads of families Free white males under 16 years Free white females, including heads of families All other free persons Slaves I'm guessing that the figures you are seeing are a tally of these five columns, broken down by section, or perhaps by township.

George, thank you for posting this. I would like to think that most of us here feel as you do and want to enjoy our hobby. At one point, I know this was the case here, though lately I have to seriously question why some folks are here. It seems that a large number of folks lately seem to have lost sight of their better natures (and their Delete keys). What I find particularly annoying is that so many of those who complain the loudest about the content of others' posts are those who have contributed little or no content of their own, other than their diatribes. While there is no requirement that listmembers must post and lurkers are always welcome, I would like each person who is contemplating complaining about someone else's posts to create at least one of their own that is a positive contribution of information to the list. A mailing list is a form of community; if its members want it to be a productive, healthy place, they need to participate in a positive fashion. Here's the bottom line, folks: If you feel that behavior like Agatha's post about Dora and Mary Jane was acceptable, do the rest of us a favor and unsubscribe now. Understand that I am not questioning Agatha's right to her own opinion, I am however questioning the way she expressed it. There's a world of difference between making a suggestion and being flagrantly rude and intolerant. If you cannot refrain from being negative, find somewhere else to be. While you're at it, ask yourself what you've contributed lately to the online genealogy community. Let this serve also as a reminder that the topic here is Chester County genealogy: let's keep our focus, folks. -Mary Harris, listowner ----- Original Message ----- From: George Drennon <gdrennon@islc.net> To: <PACHESTE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, October 12, 2000 9:20 PM Subject: RE: [PACHESTE] ADMIN: ONLIST RUDENESS, PLEASE READ!!!! > I usually stay out of things like this, but it appears that many need to > take a step back and maybe a course in computer etiquette.
