Bill, I have to agree with you. I don't think folks have any idea how costly it is to maintain a website - not just the server space, but all the other incidentals that go along with it. Ancestry's program is one of the few genealogy based affilliate programs out there and about the only way any of us will probably ever recoup a small fraction of what we're spending. Also, I don't own Olive Tree, either, so this is also just my opinion. There's too many folks out there expecting "free" genealogy without banners or affiliate programs. I've heard it referred to as "complaining while they're standing in line at the free genealogy soup kitchen"..... Just my opinion.

' I, Cornelius Wynkoop, born in the year of our Lord and blessed Jesus Christ one thousand, six hundred and eighty-eight, the thirtieth day of May in Kingston, Ulster county. " At the age of 18 or 19 years had I the inclination to go and see other lands over the sea. So that I, the 28th day of May, 1708, went out of my father's house to intend to go to Karson, and on the 31st came to New York. The 18th of June I sailed from New York with skipper Phillip Sloo, and came that day just outside the Highlands, and the 22nd ditto, in the morning at sunrise, under convoy with five vessels and with a stiff west wind, the 13th of July passed by the line of the tropics, and on the 22nd ditto, in the morning we had a cape in sight from whence a French privateer came out of a corner and took us in sight of the island of Karson's, and we with our skipper, and also one of our men went on his vessel. The 26th, ditto, we came to San Domingo, a Spanish city on the island of Hispaniola. The 15th of August sailed out from San Domingo and passed the island Saboona Moona, in Porto Rico, and came the 21st to St.Thomas. In the 16th of September sailed from there with the Bermuda skipper named Joseph Faester and arrived October 4th again in New York. And on the 11th ditto I am again in Esopus by my parents and friends. " On the 14th of December, 1711, was I confirmed in the blessed state [of marriage] by Domine Vas with Hendrica Nukerck, daughter of Arien Gerretsen, born 7 November, 1692. Following this is a leaf underwritten. [This is lost.] " On the 22 of August, 1712, on Friday evening about 9 o'clock a daughter was born to us and on the 31st of August she was baptized by Domine Petrus Vas and named Judickje, and my father and mother were witnesses to the baptism. " On the 31st of December, 1714, another daughter was born to us on Friday about 8 o'clock in the morning and on the 9th of January baptized by Domine Vas and named Elizabeth, the witnesses were Arian Gerretson and his wife. " On the 15th or March, 1717, another daughter was born to us on Monday about 9 o'clock in the morning, and on the 17th was baptized by Domine Vas and named Cornelia; witnesses were Jacob Ten Broeck and his wife. " On the 19th day of August, 1719, on Tuesday about 3 o'clock in the afternoon was born to us a son and baptized on the 16th by Domine Vas and named Johanis. The witnesses were Thomas Beekman and his wife. " On the 6th of February, 1722, a daughter was born to us on Tuesday about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. On the 18th was baptized by Domine Vas and named Cathrina. Witnesses Dirck Wynkoop and Arrienantie Newkirk. " On the 24th of May, 1724, on Sunday night at 11 o'clock another daughter was born to us, and on the 31st was baptized by Domine Vas and named Leah. The witnesses were Jacob Rutsen, Jr., and his wife Leah. " 1726 about midnight between the 28th and 29th of January our daughter Leah went to her rest in the Lord after she had been very sick on the same day. " 1726 on the 14th of August, about 1 o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday a son was born to us and baptized on the 21st by Domine Vas and named Adrien. The witnesses were Jan Newkirk and Rebecca Hansee the second wife of Arian Garretson. " 1726, 21 October, Friday afternoon, is our younger son named Adrien asleep in the Lord, after that he about two days less than ten weeks was out and had no health thereafter so long as he was in the world. " 1727, 29th September, Friday, 10 hours in the mormng is again a daughter born and the 7th January was baptized by Domine Vas and named Leah. Witnesses Gerrit Nukerck and his wife. " 1730, 5 April, Sunday, three hours after dinner is my one son born and on the 19th ditto, baptized by Domine Vas and named Adrien. Witnesses Cornelius Nukerck and his sister Leah. " 1732, the 4th November, Saturday, at the break of day is my wife in travail of a son and is the day after, the 5th baptized by Domine Mancius and named Cornelius. Witnesses, Johannes Lametter and his wife, my sister Christina. " 1734, 20th December, Friday evening, is my wife in travail of twins.

A Very Old Family Bible by Nelle Hornbeck Gaertner Submitted by: Dale Walter Gaertner, Nelle Hornbeck. "A Very Old Family Bible". The Magazine of History and Biography, Number 8, 1936. Pp. 63-65. Randolph County Historical Society (Elkins, WV). Picture yourselves your descendants 200 years from now. If they know anything about you then, it is because you have left behind some record of yourself. You may achieve lasting fame, and then, of course, your name will be carried on by others. This is a remote possibility with most of us, however. Even so-those who become widely known in their own generation recognize the necessity and value of good family records. This sketch of the Isaac Wood family will illustrate, and may prove of value as genealogical material to some of his descendants who still live in West Virginia. Isaac Wood, two brothers and a sister, were born in England. They settled first in Pennsylvania before coming to Virginia. In Pennsylvania their English records were lost in the destruction of their home by fire. Isaac kept his family record in the family Bible. This Bible passed into the hands of his granddaughter who was born and who lived in Randolph County all her life. On September 6th, 1878, a copy of these records were made for a grandson who had asked for them, and who was then living in Illinois. This old letter has been preserved and copies for descendants are made. This Bible was left in Randolph County, supposedly stored in an attic with other possessions, and may yet be located some day. At present, no one seems to know its whereabouts. This Wood record may be of interest to the Randolph County Historical Society because it preserves the record of an early Randolph family. This is an exact copy from the Isaac Wood Bible: Isaac Wood was born December 26th, 1729.His wife Rachel Ramah was born March 1st 1774.James their son was born 1763 July 29th.Elizabeth was born 1765 November 14th.Susanna was born 1767 March the 20th.John was born 1770 May the 27th.Daniel was born February 22, 1773.Ann was born October 1st. 1775.Joel August the 24th. 1778.William June 1st. 1781.Isaac June 9th. 1784.Jacob the youngest August the 1st. 1787.Isaac was born in England and died April 21st. 1803. Rachel Ramah or Ramey as it soon was spelled in America, was born in France. The Rameys were Huguenots and settled in what is now Warren County near Front Royal. In the hopes that this may be helpful to some who read these old records, I am going to include the marriage records of the children of Isaac: James, born July 29th. Married Elizabeth Gillespe.Elizabeth, b. July 14th., 1765 m. Thomas Gillespe.Susanna m. Leonard Miller.John m. (1) Elizabeth Harper in Pendleton County. (2) Mary Hornbeck in Randolph County.Daniel m. (1) N. Carr. (2) Sarah Ramey. Ann m. Michael Miller in 1797.Joel m. Ann Miller 1797.William m. Mary Conn.Jacob m. Rachel Ramey.Isaac Wood lived in Rockingham County before the Revolution. After that he was in Pendleton County, or he may always have lived in that part of Rockingham which became part of Pendleton. Some of his children were on Brushy Run in 1790. Isaac has a short Revolutionary service. John, born 1770, also kept family records in his Bible. This Bible is the much prized possession of my cousin. From this Bible I have the following: John Wood was born in Virginia on Sunday, May 27th, 1770.Elizabeth Harper was born in Pendleton County Virginia on the North Fork of the South Branch of the Potomac, December 24th, 1774. John Wood and Elizabeth Harper were married June 4th, 1793.The children of John Wood and Elizabeth Harper were:Absolom Wood, born Wednesday May 7th, 1794.Henry Wood, born Friday November 27th, 1795.Phoebe Wood born October 27th, 1797.(John Wood emigrated from Pendleton County to Randolph County, Tygarts Valley April 9th, 1799.)L. W. Wood born June 26th, 1800.Enoch Wood born June 20th, 1802.John Wood born December 10th, 1804.Zebulon Wood born Jan. 1st, 1807.Jacob Wood born May 9th, 1809.Joshua and Caleb were born July 27th, 1811.Noah Wood was born Dec. 11th, 1814.David Wood was born July 27th, 1817.(Elizabeth Harper died December 20th, 1817. John Wood married Mary Hornbeck August 3rd, 1818.)Children were:Daniel Wood born Jan. 16th, 1821.Martha Wood born Friday Feb. 8th, 1822.Ambrose Wood born Dec. 24th, 1823.Joel Wood born Jan. 4th, 1826.Mary Wood was born Monday June 21, 1829.Elizabeth Wood was born July 17th, 1830.Martha Wood became the wife of Levi Ward, and the Isaac Wood Bible came into her possession. Perhaps some descendant of Levi and Martha Ward is now living in Randolph County. If so this old Bible may be one of their most prized possessions. Nelle Hornbeck Gaertner (Mrs. Herman J.)

The Genealogy Centre has built up a database, which stands at over one million entries, of the major civil and church records for County Derry/Londonderry and the Inishowen Peninsula, County Donegal. Our Database for these areas cannot be matched by any other organisation either in or outside of Ireland As we don't receive public funding to operate a genealogical research service we are obliged to charge fees for conducting research. We are not a library, if you wish to conduct your own research through record sources you should approach the relevant record offices. If you require the Genealogy Centre to examine its extensive database please complete the enclosed form and post it with the initial search fee of £30 (sterling) or $50 (USA). All payments should be made payable to the Inner City Trust. We will then conduct relevant searches of our database, based on information provided in your research form, and inform you of the results. Even at this initial stage we will provide you with actual details from our database. If the research is proving successful we can then advise a final fee for completing research. In those cases, however, where a complete examination of the database is negative we will inform you, and no additional payment will be asked for.

It has masses of Genealogical data in it including the names John Bodine, Caroline Elmer Nixon, Ann Taylor, Samuel, Isabel, Francis, Louisa, Martha, and Alice. Jeremiah Smith Nixon and Mary Shaw.
