Good morning Kathy; Just some info. for you. We live in San Bernardino County, CA., just north of the city of San Bernardino. There is a SWARTHOUT Valley in the San GABERIEL mountains. It runs east to west from the town of Wrightwood down to the Cajon Pass. I don't know how it received its name. There was an army post in the valley during the middle '80s to stop bandits and rustlers from raiding SB city. Later, Frank and Watt Earp bought their parents an apple orchard in the valley that is still active.

I have a Bob Bower m. Lydia Ann Cowhick on my husband's Carpenter line.

Does anyone know of these familes from the Nipponose Twp-Batress Twp area? The Bower's I am looking for are the decendents of Christian Bower b. 1830 in Bavaria. Children Frank, (the wheelwright and buggymaker in Collomsville(my gg grandfather) b. 1858, his son Harry J. married a Elna Martha VonNeeda, and Edward G. (my g grandfather)married Margaret Nittinger(her mother was the Baierski.) Other children of Christian were Joseph, John, Lizzy, Mary, Anna and Emma(these 2 daughters might have been the same person either Anna or Emma). I don't know how many of you are from that area but if you are you probably knew my grandparents Edward F. his nickname was Goab. (Edward and Margaret's son)and Madeline Bower. She just recently passed in September. Any help tracking down this family would be great or any stories you might have if you knew of them. Thank you, Jaime Baumgardner

All, I have had this burning question about the "proper" spelling of Württemberg. Please see below what I have found out. It is quite interesting. Kevin Hello, ___________________________________________ "Sholder, Kevin L" <KS100004@exchange.DAYTONOH.NCR.com> schrieb: >Celia, Bob, Wolf, and All [...] >"The correct spelling is WÜRTTEMBERG, it is derived from WIRTEMBERG which >means Wirt am Berg = innkeeper at the hill." ____________________________________________ Emigrants have always taken the names of their old home country with them, and "with" the old name and "in" the name have made the foreign/distant parts their home - the French, the Dutch, the English: Neuf-Orléans, Niuw-Haarlem, New-York. During WWI the archeologist and historian Peter Goeßler came to Luxembourg as a medical orderly. On a map he found the name "Wirdeberg", on another one "Widdeberg" (today Widdebierg), NE of Luxembourg City. From this he drew the conclusion that the old name "Wirtemberg", first of a castle, then of a family, and finally of a state, did not orginally belong to the hill above Untertürkheim (Stuttgart), above the Neckar River, but was imported to the Neckar from Luxembourg in historical times (about 1060/1080). As one can imagine there was quite an uproar at this "foreign" news at the time. King Wilhelm II of Württemberg was astonished but said: "Doctor Goeßler is probably right ... Doesn't also the House of Hanover stem from Lombardy and the Russian House of the Romanovs from Oldenburg?" Legend has it that the innkeeper at the hill, a cheerful young man, abducted the Emperor's daughter, hid with wife and child from the wrath of his father- in-law near one of the most busy military roads (of all places!) of the Holy Empire of the German Nation. But when the Emperor passed through the man was pardoned and received a castle and a noble title. - Historians ask: Mightn't the story contain a core of truth in that there was a marriage of a Wirtemberger with a relative of the Emperor, not necessarily his daughter? ______________________________________________ >I still have a lot to learn about proper punctuation for foreign location >names, but since I am using a computer I'll stick with "WÜRTTEMBERG" >spelling. _______________________________________________ Yes, always do writing a family history, etc.. However, I have never understood why our List is not called "-WUERTTEMBERG", the -ue- rendering the ü-umlaut. _______________________________________________ >Is it recommended, that when transcribing from formal documents that you >should duplicate the spelling that they use, or correct it? ______________________________________________ When "quoting" from a document you have to render the orignal spelling, but if it is an unusual spelling like "Wurtemberg" (no umlaut, one t only) you should write is as "Wurtemberg [!]", and if you have "Württembg", the abridged form, you could write "Württemb[er]g", because people then know that what they find in square brackets are your additions or comments.

i worked at lyco college for a couple years in the registrars office. we still had records of students from when it was the seminary. letters of admission or acceptance, all kinds of non-grade-related correspondence and records along with the grades. our registrar destroyed everything but the grades. i tried to talk her into donating the rest of the records to the genealogical society here in wmspt, but she went on about confidentiality. being that those people have been dead over a century, i would think that the records would have been ok to donate. but it wasnt my decision, i "just worked there."

All, In my Kinley family I have a Wayne Woodrow Hall m. Beatrice Martha Fisher (daughter of Nelson Fisher and Dorothy Paulhamus). They have three children: Scott Hall Luke Hall Aaron Hall I seem to have incorrect dates for Scott and Luke as one is listed as being born in May of 1978 and the other Mar of 1978. Does anyone have correct information about these two? Thanks, Kevin L. Sholder rdrunner@siscom.net Don't wait to make your Son a great man.

I hope you don't object to my comment, but your exchange is being seen by all. In my opinion, this language refers to him being trustee of the canal. The LCHS has a photo of the West Branch Canal on their web page and they might have documents relating to the trustees. See http://www.lycoming.org/LCHSMuseum/views.htm .

Eldred, I look, but it sounds to me as though he was a trustee for the West Branch Canal, possibly.
