Hi, I read your email about the cemetery books that you have with a lot of Riddle listings. I'm not sure I understand, but are you offering to do lookups in these books? And you didn't say what area they might be in. Well I hope you don't mind but I am going to send some names of ancestors I need to find, just in case I'm right. Alma Jeannett Sheffield Riddle--died abt.1905-Petersburg,Va--wife James Robert Riddle--died abt. 1907-Petersburg,Va.--husband they had lived in Sussex Co.,VA also. I cannot find where they are buried. John William Peyton Riddle (son) b.1866 in Sussex Co.,VA left his wife and children about 1918, never heard from again. Maybe died in N.C. or Va. Thanks for your time. Charlotte----ceearm@aol.com

Cathy, I am not Danny or have anything to do with the Solving the Riddle's but wish I knew more about the computer so I could add my family. (Sounds crazy doesn't it.) Any way we have purchased about 10 or 11 different cemetery books with each one having a different counties and their cemetery records by name of the cemeteries in each one of them. I have gone through several of them and have found many Riddle - Riddel names in the cemeteries. Most have their wife by their side in them also, and wondered if anyone would be interested in these particular names.? I ask the man that traveled around the countryside and had the work done if he cared. He said if they only wanted their family look up done it would be fine but not the whole cemetery listings. I thought that sounded fair so thought I would adk. Thanks wrakj

Hi Riddles, Could the page administrator (Danny?) please send me a reinvite to the Solving Riddle page? I've been away from the computer genealogy for several weeks and I've probably been declared an inactive member. A reinvite would be very greatly appreciated. THANKS! Cathy Riddle O'Connor kayomaxb@aol.com

Hi to all Riddle researchers, Is there anyone on the list who has a copy of the 'Ancient Riddells and Ryedales .." by G.T. Ridlon who would be willing to do a quick lookup for me? I have info on my Riddles from Londonderry Ireland that immigrated to Quebec Canada, and need to verify if info came from this book. Please email me personally if you can assist me. I would be extremely grateful! Susan M. Copple mailto: copple@peak.org

To Susan Copple: the Irish Riddells I see listed in the Ridlon book's chapter headings are from Parkmount, Ballinaman, Ray, Glassough, Richhill, Strabane, Newton-Stewart, Castlefill, Ballyblack, Denmamora, Ballaymeath, Ballymony, Glanish, Cornasoo, and Annamacneal. I see none from Londonderry and none listed for Quebec. Betty Webb

Hi Riddles, This came through to me on another list. Thought it might be helpful to some of you. Subj: [INLAWREN] WW1 Draft Cards (fwd) Date: 8/22/99 7:45:03 PM Eastern Daylight Time From: rrowley@indiana.edu (Rebecca Lewis) To: INLAWREN-L@rootsweb.com I received this today, and wanted to pass it on. I hope it is of some help to those who are working on genealogy of this era. Forwarded From Another List: M. Dean Hunt Louisville, KY Good Morning everyone: I played hooky from work yesterday and spent the day at the NARA Branch in Atlanta and it jogged my memory to pass on some information to everyone. Prior to the US's entry into WW1 (approx. 1917-1918) every male betweenvthe age of 18 and 40 was required to register for the draft. The information found on the card was provided by the individual himself. The registration cards vary in information depending on the individual draft board. But by and large the cards include: The full name of the person (this means first, full middle name, any additional middle names and last name); the current address of the man; his age; his birthdate (some include his place of birth); whether he is a US citizen or a naturalized citizen (some ask if his father was a naturalized citizen and his father's race); his race; his occupation; where he is employed (name of employer); address or location of employment; name and address of his next of kin; some cards ask if the man is married or single and how many people he supports. The card is signed by the draftee. On the back of the card his physical description is noted: Height is broken down by short, medium, tall although some cards give the actual height in feet and inches; Build by slim, medium, stout although some cards list actual weight along with the build; color of eyes and hair; any deformities or injuries are listed (such as one arm missing, blind in one eye, etc); the name and address of the draft board and the date. When these original cards were transferred to the East Pointe NARA branch the LDS spent about 3 years microfilming these cards. There are hundreds and hundreds of boxes and the LDS opened one box at a time and filmed them - in state order. However, within each state the cards were filed by draft board, not by county or by draftee. This makes the searching of the microfilm difficult to say the least. The good news is that the Friends of the National Archives took each box after it was filmed (and checked) and sorted all of these thousands and thousands of cards into - state and then COUNTY order and then in alphabetical order by surname and put then in new boxes. The Friends deserveall the kudos we can give them for this monstrous task. So ... rather than spending hours and hours searching the LDS microfilm you can order copies of the original cards from NARA. if you know the county your ancestor lived in between 1917-1918. And BTW - Ancestry.com lists WW1 Draft cards in their searchable data bases, however I know for a fact that there are 22 cards for the surname WHITE found in McIntosh Co, OK and Ancestry only gave me 4 of them so don't depend on that site. I was told yesterday that some reps from Ancestry had visited the archives a couple of weeks ago to talk about filming the cards, took one look at the hundreds and hundreds of boxes and simply left. For copies: Send a letter requesting copy(s) to: NARA Southeast Region 1557 St. Joseph Ave East Point, GA 30344 In your letter be sure to say you want copy(s) of the WWI Draft application Cards. Include the name of your ancestor and his race, the state and the county. If you want copies of ALL of the cards with a given surname, ask them the cost of the copies and send a SASE for them to let you know the copying cost. In your letter be sure and say you want a copy of the FRONT and BACK of the card. Be sure to send a SASE for the return of you copies. The cost for the copy is 50 cents - 25 cents for the back and 25 cents for the front. If you only want one copy send a buck and say the difference is to be given to the Friends of the Archives, because after all they did all this wonderful hard work for you <VBG> If you have any other questions about the cards please write to me and I'll try to help. I've been "delving" into these cards for the past few years. But PLEASE don't ask me to get the copies for you. It is difficult for me to take the time off from work to visit the archive to do my own research <g>. And feel free to pass this on to any of the lists you are on. ==== INLAWREN Mailing List ==== The Lawrence County Indiana GenWeb page is located at: http://www.rootsweb.com/~inlawren/lawrengw.htm

Got this from another list. Sounds good for Riddlers researching in Ky. Cathie Thought this might help in some of the family histories when they finally get this site finished. It only has birth records from 1911 right now but marriage and death records plus divorce records will be coming later. Suzanne http://neon.state.ky.us/kvs/search/birthlookup.asp

Charles and all, All I know at this point is where the book says the "Bottom" is located. "In East Texas, they call it "The Bottom" - a strip of boggy lowland, densely wooded with giant white oak, red oak and pin oak trees at the foot of which are entangling vines, bamboo cane and native grasses higher than a horse's back. To the north is Sulphur River which for a hundred miles bounds, traverses or in flood stage flows over parts of eleven Northeast Texas counties. To the south, varying five to ten miles, is White Oak Creek, flowing strangely parallel to Sulphur River for about forty miles." Around here, a bottom is any low area through which a creek or river runs. I have hunted and fished White Oak and Sulphur bottoms, off and on, back to when all daddy would let me carry was a B B gun. This book is the only place I have seen any one place designated as "The Bottom". Wish I could answer your other questions. ---------- > From: Charles Smith <charles@pandr.demon.co.uk> > To: RIDDLE-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [RIDDLE-L] Cochran and Riddles > Date: Wednesday, September 29, 1999 10:09 AM > > Thanks Gaylon for that.
