Hello List, I am searching for the ancestors and descendents of Frank Granger. He married my great-great aunt Betsey Isadore Tupper (Dora) and I know that they had one son who died at age two. He is buried in the Rushville Cemetery. Is anyone researching the Granger family? Thank you for your help, Alice TUPPER, GRANGER, MCCUMBER, and others

If one is capable of performing the latter task, one would assume the skills are present to perform the former and it is just the inclination or thoughtfulness that is lacking. It is simple courtesy to actually accomplish this task of subject line editing, thus avoiding all this associated strife. Also, a pertinent subject line is important when trying to research the RootsWeb archives. If one was searching for military records concerning the Tewksbury family, for example, a subject heading of "Pvt H Tewksbury, 187th PA Vol" would be more likely to catch the eye than "Re: PASUSQUE-D Digest V00 #2xx" Bill Strickland Oregon City, OR

In the future (if there is one), I will certainly endeavor to provide a sufficiently terse synopsis in the subject line to motivate you to behold the literary feats which follow. One the other hand, there are a number of people who merely need to see my name on the post to have sufficient cause to delete (or otherwise ignore) my message, regardless of the content of the subject line. I can certainly understand and sympathize, however. Why, I myself am so busy with the rigors of life that when I don't like the cover of a book, I throw it away. In fact, why read the book, when I can simply read the crib notes. If I don't like the headline of the newspaper, toss!. If I don't like the first 5 words of a newscast, it's over to Jerry Springer! If the guy can't express his 25 years of varied experience in 6 sentences or less, then he's history. I guess that's what is implicit in that old saw about getting to the "the bottom line". One of the problems yet to be solved is that when one "clicks on" REPLY, the email program usually takes the existing subject and sticks the characters: "RE:" in front of it. Perhaps one day in the not-too-distant future, Qualcomm (the purveyors of Eudora), or some other great mastermind, will develop software which instead reads my mind (light reading though it may be), and presto!, an nice terse but "meaty" subject line will appear. One can only hope! In the meantime, it would help if everyone were to post a list of the words which we might use to make our subject lines "meaningful". And in your post, be sure to prepare a subject line sufficient to tell use whether or not we should delete or ignore it. Regards from the polluted shores of Lake Erie. Tom

Hello all Preston Township for Wayne County 1850 data This celebrates more than 20,000 entries for 1850 data on the site. Friendsville Township for Susquehanna County 1880 data. Only a couple of hundred entries but it is in a slightly revised format to other years. Comments welcome. There have been some "behind-the-scenes" changes. The URLs for complete census pages have been changed to remove the three letter township code. I am certain that some one will let me know if any problems are found with the site changes supporting that. MJ will find quite a few more TIFFANYs pulled from Stocker on the Personal Ancestry side of the site. Best wishes to all. Happy searching. Fred fredwm@perth.dialix.oz.au

Those of us who have been on these mailing lists for awhile have all seen folks that like to harp about spelling, grammar, AND putting a meaningful subject on your message. I don't see that much anymore, perhaps it's no longer important. RootsWeb archives all messages and I think the only way they can be found in by the SUBJECT. That might be important to some, but what I used to read most from the purists was "I don't have time to open every message, so if the SUBJECT doesn't interest me, I delete." Even if you are replying to a previous message, I don't see why you can't make the subject meaningful. You might wish to consider this the next time you decide to post a message, perhaps that's why you are not getting the responses you expect. That's my $0.02 worth.

Hi Mary Jean and RLW, I believe that Samuel Chalker is in my background somehow but have not made a connection. The 1850 census could not find someone born in 1858 but I was interested in the Chalkers listed on it. The 1860 census would have been a better choice. I think it may have been me having the senior moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bonnie

Can't. Unless they are listed, and then you know your 1858 listing is wrong, or perhaps they had a child by the same name earlier that died, then named the younger sister/brother with the same name. (This happened from time to time.) Michael L.

Hi Bonnie I must be having one of those senior moments .... how can an 1850 census help you find someone born in 1858? RLW
