I didn't have any better luck trying to read the NARA image than you did. However, I can confirm that Camp Supply was located in Western Oklahoma (south of Ft. Dodge, Kansas, due east of the northeast corner of the Texas Panhandle, on the North branch of the Canadian River). If you want some info on the history of Camp Supply in the 1860s, see "Frontier Regulars, The United States Army and the Indian, 1866 - 1890", by Robert M. Utley (consult Index for "Camp Supply"). Regarding height, I think it is saying Thomas was 5 feet 6.5 inches tall (virtually everyone on the list was 5 feet something tall -- see the first row on the page in the feet column). Although very hard to read, I think his regiment might be 3rd Infantry, which Utley says was stationed at Camp Supply at least for a while in 1867. His company sees to be listed as something like "CC" which makes no sense to me. Where did you get his enlistment being for 3 years? In that column the last entry above him seems to be a 3. If you look above his line for "Where" he enlisted (his row is blank) it might be suggested that he enlisted in New York. ______________________________ On 15 March 2014, Nancy wrote: Message: 1 Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2014 11:13:43 -0500 From: Nancy <[email protected]> Subject: [ROOTS-L] Fwd: Help in deciphering NARA images on Ancestry To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]om> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 I need help in figuring out faint images on the following.

Hooray! Someone wants the book. Thanks for your input. Grandma Jone

Thanks, everyone! I really appreciate the help with that death record. Although hard to read (especially if one doesn't read Spanish, which I don't!), I'm still delighted to have found the record and to understand what it said. This mailing list rocks! Karen [email protected]

Karen I tried to transcribe all of this, but it is really hard to read. Basically, in Colima, at four in the afternoon of 25 August, 1882, of inflammation of the stomach. Agustin Alborelli, of Monclovi, provance of Piamonte? Italy, and came to this city ----. Then, some discussion that (I think) Felipe Amouroun, Luis Rivera witnessed the death. Then, something about someone being a neighbor for 25 years. I think all those names are witnesses. Probably the first name, Carlos Meillon, was the physician. This is just as hard to read, if not harder, than some of the American records of the same era!. Hope this helps.

Hello listers, here is a url to my local paper. You will find an interesting couple that like roaming the cemeteries and doing research on the names.

Version 11.8 of the U.S. Civil War Units File (March 14, 2014) is now available at its new home: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~acwunits/ The Civil War Units File (CWUNITS) lists people who have information on a unit, ship, or group (often rosters, battles, etc.) and are willing to help others research it. Some are experts; most are "just" helpful fellow researchers. If you see a listing for a unit you are interested in, you can send the contact person email and share information. There are also listings for battles, organizations, counties, ethnic groups, etc. Special note for those researching CSA Virginia & North Carolina units: Due to the passing of Jeff Weaver, we have had to remove his many listings.

For those of you have figured out new search better than I have (and that's probably anyone who has logged into Ancestry since the loss of old search) I used to be able to go to US Public records and insert a name and fiddle around until I found who I was hunting for and then I could go back and edit my search by removing any names and searching only on the address that was given with the original person I was hunting for. It would then bring up a list of all those people who were in US Public Records who had lived at that address - yes sometimes the list was long if it was a big apartment complex - - but often I would find information about who the spouse might have been For instance if I looked up Agnes (Palcher) Hinkle in either the old or current search I would find: Agnes M Hinkle 5 Oct 1909 215 S 12th St, Kansas City, KS, 66102-5712 In the old search, if I went back and deleted the name but filled in the blanks with above address information - if I was lucky - I would find among other names Delmar Hinkle, maybe with his birthdate. This was great if I didn't know who Agnes' husband was other than a Given Name Unknown Hinkle. I could then take the information that a Delmar Hinkle with maybe a compatible birthdate lived at the same address as my Agnes (Palchar) Hinkle and work with it until I could or disprove that the were husband and wife. That kind of research is a whole lot easier if you have a possible given name to work with. I can't figure out how to manipulate US Public records in the new search to see who else was living at the same address - even if I was willing to put in just the Hinkle surname and look at all the Hinkles who were living at that address.

Horace apparently was born in either 1804 or 1805 Now, Mary was the daughter of Obidiah Seward who died from a wound in the Am. Rev. So I've been told. Obidiah Seward was the son of Lt. Col (or is it general) --- I told you I was old ----John Seward of The Am. Rev. and was in the N. J. millisha. Now again I was told that in Lt. Gen. John Seward will, that he mentions a John Cooper. Is anyone able to that will and let me know what it says. Please. 00 For the other one, We have worked at this brick wall for over 40 years.In the first marriage record book in La Grange Co., Ind. there is a John M. Wanzo who married Elizabeth Cooper - Sorry I can not remember the date on this marriage- She was the daughter of Horace and Mary (Van Buskirk) Cooper. In the 1850 census it shows John M. Wanzo as being born in N. Y. in 1820. A lot to work with Huh? Anyway, I have search census records for all of the state of N. Y. that I can find for Wanzo family in 1820 and 1830. There were only 2 that I have found. They were in Huntington, Suffolks Co., L. I., New York. One was a William Wanzo. I found some records for him and my John M. is NOT from his line. Living close to William was a Henry Wanzo for whom I've not found records pertaining to him. Would you please work with me on this as since my brain damage I'm not able to do so. Is there a possibilty that there was a change in the spelling of Wanzo? Here is why I'm asking, John M. by his first wife had sons named James Henry, Horace S. (Horace after Mary's father), Thomas and David. All names familiar with the Wanzer - Wanser. I have a great deal assending some lines of Mary Elizabeth and Horace S. Cooper. Do you have any hints, lead, etc. of how I might get more information on the father of Horace Cooper and John M. Wanzo. lOh, I did find one record for a John Wanzo in E. Effington, Ill. The spelling of Effington might be wrong. There is a Co. and City by the same name. Thank you for hearing me out. Beth
