Thanks Robert. I've sent mine too. I'm trying to track a George Roy Webster, my husband's uncle, from Dillion MT right now. May be too late as is. He was married, wife unknown and they had 2 girls, names unknown, and where buried unknown. Pray they get loads of e-mails and/or phone calls. My heart just sank when I read your message. Thanks again.

Subject: Urgent--SB 443 Hearing update for Genealogists & Historians, SB 443 had tons of opposition from the lobbyist for: The Clerk of District Court Assoc. The Clerk & Recorder's Assoc. The Treasurer Assoc. and opposition from the: The School Insurance Assoc. The State Fund for Workmen Comp. The State Historical Society Library The Secretary of State Brown's Office (I hope I didn't leave anyone out...) They brought up all kinds of things that twisted SB 443 into something that it wasn't. SB 443 only concerns Public Records that are being destroyed in County Courthouses...not anything to do with Workmen's Comp., School anything, etc. Only to give "Notice" to the Public...the State Historical Soc, Historical & Genealogy Soc., down to the Public to have a chance to Preserve our MT History! I showed the House-State Admin. Committee today, 3 Old Record Books originally from Park County Courthouse, that were thrown away. These are: 1897 Voter Registration Book (name, age, birthplace, & address were listed for each voter). 1889 Court Ledger Book...that on the last page has the old 1889 to 1890 marriage records. 1904 City of Livingston Census Book (has names of all family members, occupation of head of household, ages, & addresses). These books were "rescued" by a Historian that happened by the trash cans by the Courthouse and were "saved" in our local Yellowstone Gateway Museum here in Park County....But many, many other records have been lost forever. Our Park County has thrown away the old MT. Marriage Application Books...as many other counties have done, because the Clerk of District Court Assoc. has said they have to... (None of the MT Old Marriage Application Books from about 1865/1889 to 1960s have been copied!). No Courthouse is willing to tell exactly what records have been destroyed, how many, what they are, etc. We don't have an accounting on anything. I had really thought it would be a simple thing to just have the Courthouses to "post" on the wall of the Courthouse the list of Records that they didn't want (or had no room for). And since most Courthouses around MT have e-mail (with more coming on-line everyday), they could just e-mail the State Historical Society of that list of unwanted Records. The State Historical Society (that does not want these records) would look on their lists of local Historical & Genealogy Societies for the area in and around the County that doesn't want the records...and the Public & MT State Historical & Genealogy Societies would all be notified! Very little work on the part of the Courthouses. No cost to the County. After the listings of the local Historical & Genealogy Societies' e-mails on the State Historical Society Library Computer database...very little work (not compared to the priceless preserving of history).

MT Courthouses do not have the space for these Records...they will not be expanding their Courthouse Buildings. They say Micro-filming is too expensive.

Hi again, Thanks for your information. Another question, are your adopted parents (father), related to your maternal mother? Non of my business, just curious. Wow a home in those beautiful mountains. We live in the mountains too, there a little different, pine trees of many kinds grow here. Our water level is low this spring, not good, hopefully there will be more rain. I own horses, all my life. I'm a country girl for sure. I'll be checking out more of your web site. My in-laws have 40 acres here, they have a web site too, should you wish to see it out, this is the address, www.theofficenet.com/~fulcircl/ My granddads folks were some of the first settlers in Morgan Co. Tn. I was able to visit my Samuel Hall's (my 3rd g-uncle) home he built in 1808, located near Wartburg, it was really great to be there where they had walked. I hope to get back to your country someday. m Good talking with you. m --- WFCR Radio <[email protected]> wrote: > > > -- > WFCR Radio~Charlie Riddle > [email protected] - email > (703) 234-3950 x7524 - voicemail/fax > www.worldforchristradio.com > > > Hi Marilyn: > > My mother's maiden name was Riddle, the daughter of > James G.

That's another great joke Charlie. Carolyn Condray-Merritt

I have been reading the emails between Marilyn and Charlie about their Riddle families and although it doesn't appear we are in the same branch of Riddles, I did find it interesting about their Cherokee heritage. We were always told we had Indian blood also from my Riddle side. I asked a genealogist to look into that for me when she was doing research for me and she said it was very hard to find proof of that. If a person was Indian they would be listed as "B" for black so you wouldn't know if they were Indian or not. That is of course if they were not registered in an Indian Roll. I have no proof, just what has been handed down through the family. I have been searching for about nine years. Three genealogists at different times, made many phone call, written many letters and spent many hours on the computer and am still right where I started as far as ancestors go. My ggrandfather was James Robert Riddle b. 1840, he had a brother, John Flemming Riddle b. 1835. They appear to have been born in Virginia, maybe Henrico Co. I believe their father's name was William. Both brothers married and lived in Sussex Co.,Va. I believe they mostly did sawmill work. James married Alma Jeannett Sheffield who was born in Sussex Co... Here's hoping that one day I will find a connection to my family. Charlotte Armstrong

-- WFCR Radio~Charlie Riddle [email protected] - email (703) 234-3950 x7524 - voicemail/fax www.worldforchristradio.com Hi Marilyn: My mother's maiden name was Riddle, the daughter of James G. Riddle. She married a Johnson and died when I was 1 hour old. My father got burned up in a house fire so I was adopted and name changed to Riddle at a very age before I started school. I was raised in those moutains referred to on the "Dedication Page" and roamed the mountains like a "Wild Indian" hunting and horse back riding. Those were the good ole days. I also had two other brothers who died at the age of 2 and 12. Medical care was very critical back in the 20s and 30s when you lived so far back in the mountains. Life is a precious commodity. We have a home there and plan on developing this website project in the next few months. Take care. Charlie Riddle, Dulles Airport By the way--my brother-in-law called his girl friend in Cheyenne this morning and said, "Honey you've got to be tired--you've been running thru my mind all night long!" (he used to be a gangster up in NY. They sent him out to blow up a car--he burnt his mouth on the exhaust pipe!) __________________________________________________ FREE voicemail, email, and fax...all in one place.

Do any of you have Riddles born in SC? My ggrandfather was Oliver Perry Riddle from Laurens Co. Any connections?? Iris Burnell

Hi Charlie, Wow, I finally had a minute to look at your dedication page, it really blows me away. I've been looking into my Cherokee lineage, I haven't found any proof yet, other than handed down stories from my family. Chief Gary Ridge is a friend of my friends here in Eastern Wa. Jim Baugh, and Les Mueller, they attended th 2000 meeting of the Southern Cherokees in Georgia. I would like to apply for membership someday. Small world! Thanks for mentioning your relatives that have served and died for us. I wasn't real tuned into the armed services until I became addicted to genealogy. My understanding of my fathers (Harry Earl Wilsons) military history was was pretty much limited to his few stories when he was alive, thanks to this machine I now know so much more. I saw a Hall listed on your dedication page. You mention that you were adopted, did you always know about your Indian heritage? Your William Hughes, do you know if he had a relation named Orlando Hughes? I would like to find a Wilson connection but it's like looking for a needle in a hay stack. bfn, Marilyn --- WFCR Radio <[email protected]> wrote: > > > -- > WFCR Radio~Charlie Riddle > [email protected] - email > (703) 234-3950 x7524 - voicemail/fax > www.worldforchristradio.com > > > Hi Marilyn: This is another Charles Riddle from the > mountains of western > North Carolina.

Dear Jim, Thanks for your kind offer...I sure wish I knew if I was interested in this information or not..LOL!! If two of Elizabeth Brown's children are Harry Pickett (b. 12-Jul-1890 Emporia, Lyon County, Ks) and Raymond R. RIDDLE they would be my GGrandfather and GUncle. It is said that Elizabeth Brown was born in Lakevill, Missouri but we don't find such a place. This information is provided thru the Calif. Death Transcription of Harry Pickett RIDDLE. Father was William Baker RIDDLE b. in Freeport, Stephenson Co., Illnois. ----- Original Message ----- From: mentorjim <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 6:02 PM Subject: Fw: [RIDDLE-L] TN Riddles > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "mentorjim" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 3:35 PM > Subject: Re: [RIDDLE-L] TN Riddles > > > > Marie LC: > > I show an Elizabethe BROWN dau of Matthew BROWN who was President of > > Jefferson College in PA who married Rev.
