Notice that the only Rameys in VA during that time period that got married all lived in Lee Co VA. Isn't that amazing? This has probably been around before but a different source.

This weekend I went to Barterville Cemetery in Nicholas County, KY looking for the grave of my great-uncle (George Ramey). I never did find George's grave but I did find the graves of James Ramey born 1848 died August 27, 1922 and his wife, Laura, born 1846 or 48 (hard to read) and died October 2, 1913 or 1918 (again - hard to read).

Carolyn, I am sorry at this point I cannot help you. You need to work on getting dates/places and times of marriage/ and birth/death if you do not have these. Mine is still a bit sketchy in this line (see posting of yesterday). A good book (also available at public libraries ) is the Handybook for Genealogists. Another one that has helped me some is Genealogy For Dummies. Do searches online. Do you have Family TreeMaker? I could not live without it. State Libraries are the best if you are close to one. Good luck-perhaps we are distant cousins ,but i don't have enough info. on this line either to know! Teresa Panther-Yates

This is a fairly new site that you might find interesting. You can post your own line's movements and read what others have posted. There were no Rameys there until we put up a couple. Maybe some of you would like to add others. http://www.migrations.org Don & Bess Ramey

The rules and regulations for this FINAL VOTE on the crown are simple and easily read. It states in extremely clear English that the holder of said crown shall have each vote cast in her favor multiplied by 400. Furthermore and Whereas-I know that there are not 100 people on the Ramey List to vote. I HEREBY and FOREVER declare myself the unqualified winner of this outrageous vote attempting to usurp my powers of DE-NIAL. Time has expired for voting as of 11:11 PM Mar. 5, 2000 Mountain Daylight Savings Time. Lets all send chocolates to Nefi-she needs the extra weight anyway. Cleo, stil the remaining QUEEN of DE-NIAL

Hello Ramey Cousins, I will post this mailing list on this subject just one time so as not to clutter the list with such overwhelming, important matters. The only way to settle this problem with the Crown and who should wear it, I believe, is to take a vote from all of you. Send your votes by private e-mail to either myself or Marcil. Send your vote to the one you think should own the crown. Marcil and I will exchange voting results later. I will be honest about my number of votes. There is just one stipulation. All those voting for me can vote three times. All those voting for Marcil can vote one time. In order to determine which one of us should get the three votes, I just choose a name at random and it happened to be mine. You can't be any more fair than that. Get out that vote. Now, I must go, my soap opera is coming on and I need to get my box of chocolates ready. Thank you. Nefi

Good morning.... Way back when Marcil was in the hosp I made a silly crown for her out of a potato chip bag and taped on a few shinny things..... well, I kept forgetting to mail it... so ran across it the other day and sent it to her and the following is what has transpired.. I thought that all of you would get a kick out of it as you have all been in on the bickering of these two over that crown for a year or two. They have a fantastic sense of humor........and I will most likely hear from them both for doing this but...... Tee hee hee ....

I have sterilized it to remove all traces of her DNA. I have also restored it to its former beauty. That was a good trick-sending it thru the mail. No one would have suspected a thing.

I never took that crown. Jeannie did it and blamed it on me. She is jealous of my beauty (I am pretty cute, you know) If Jeannie sent you a crown through the mail, I would advise you not to wear it in the shower as you said you would. It will RUST. Jeannie kept the real one and sent you a phoney. Man, you can't trust these Ramey cousins at all. My feelings are hurt. I am going to spend the next week sitting on the couch, watching soap operas and eating tons of chocolate to console myself. It's your fault that I am such a mess. But I am strong. I will recover. I WANT MY CROWN BACK. Sorry, I didn't mean to shout. My sanity is in your hands. If I don't get my crown bac,. I may do something drastic like spit on ants or kick my dog or step on my cat's tail Remember, all our Ramey ancestors are watching the both of you. They know that I am the rightful owner of that crown. Nefi, crownless but proud

Teresa, Saw your e-mail on the RAMEY-l list and couldn't help but to horn in on your correspondence. I am a Ramey, and my father once said that he had Indian blood in him. I am at a standstill on this line of mine. I cannot find my ggrandfather, WILLIAM RAMEY, m. MARGARET SINE. On the 1880 census from Pendleton County, KY. it stated that he was born on KY and she was born in VA. The ages and names of the children are really dark and I cannot read them. They had several children, John C., Alonzo, Lace, Perry, William,. Arthur, Alice, Mollie, Laurie and Amanda. Some were born in VA and some in KY. If you recognize any of the names please let me know. I will be awaiting your reply. Thanks for your help! If I have any more info that you need, please let me know. Thanks again! Carolyn

Lots of names here and events here, but none of the names that I am searching for. http://www.filsonclub.org/guideindex.html
