Shirley M. and my roots family I wanted to shout from the roof tops I’ve broken down a brick wall and found my elusive GGGrandma Eunice (Mott) Warnick. She was buried all along in the Columbus Cemetery. She is buried under a single headstone named Warnick. Not even my mom had known who was buried there. Through the burial deed record and a call to Gass Haney Funeral Home they were able to confirm her as the person in the burial plot. I would say don’t give up, the information is out there. We just don’t know who has it! Sandy J.

Thanks Eliz, that was a good suggestion. Ruth Sparacio has published deed abstracts for the time period I'm interested in. I don't know if the LoV lends title through ILL but I'm going to try and find out. DO you know?

I am searching for my father's roots. He was born In Silviria, Turkey on March 18, 1893 to Greek parents. His father's name was also Nicholas Theodoros and his mother's name was either Mary Fotini or Fotini Agathoni. They lived at 67 Colocotrone Street in Athens, Greece. Any and all responses will be welcome. Marie Theodore Partee @ mpart04@comcast.net

My ancestors John Harvey and Elizabeth Felix married in Orange County, VA on 22 Jan 1800. I don't know who John's parents were but Elizabeth's father was William Felix, as he gave permission to the marriage. I would like to research these families there but I can't find deeds abstracted in any books beyond 1778. Elizabeth's family left Berks Co., PA in 1790 so there's the possibility that both the Harvey and Felix families had records there from 1790-1800 or earlier. (John and Elizabeth (and her father) left for Hardin County, KY shortly after the marriage.) Does anyone know if Orange County deeds or court minutes have been abstracted in book form during this time period? Thanks, Barton Lewis

The family trees on Ancestry all agree that they both died in Canada and Patty died in Oxford, Canada. Unfortunately the trees seem to be divided 50/50 as to whether the Oxford is in Ontario or Nova Scotia. There is one in both but nearly 1100 miles apart. Can someone provide a grave site and/or death record which would clarify this? Thanks, Stuart Price > >

"And in the 1900 census, his ex-wife Hannah said she was widowed.That would mean he died between 1893 and 1900" Maybe. If he was in jail, or the poorhouse, or wherever, and she either didn't expect him back or devoutly hoped he wouldn't be back, she might have lsited herself as a widow on the census. Widow seems to have been something of a flexible term for some people. Theresa

well, I found William and Mary Barnheisel Fee in 1860, but I had to browse the census, and I had to look for them where they were in 1870. the page is illegable (fortunately someone tried to transcribe it) and some of the names are wrong, William M. Fee is understandably miss-transcribed as William McFee. one child does appear to be Lillie May instead of Nellie J., I'll have to sort that out. although the 1870 is almost as illegable as the 1860, I can see that she is Nellie J. in 1870. I hope Ancestry can improve these. I can only assume they transcribed it from an original, there's no way they could have done it from Ancestry's scan. I notified Ancestry and attached it to William. I know it's them because he's a physician, and not a farmer or blue collar laborer.

thank you, Eliz, oddly enough, I haven't run into much of this in my 25 years of research, and Ancestry has been known to miss some census records, usually just a page though. Niles was established in 1802, and not yet, though I did look for their births in the IGI. no luck so far. I did find them in the 1850, after all, they kept bouncing back and forth between ohio and pennsylvania.

I have a friend who has a relative (grand uncle) who was in and out of Russia and was naturalized in the US. He returned to Russia, arrested and disappeared. My friend is anxious to find out what happened to him. She has been in contact with the Russian Embassy but they have a problem releasing info to her since she has no documentation proving her relationship to the individual. Any one have any ideas/experience on dealing with the Russians? Any one have ideas on proving relationships in the absence of death/birth certificates. Ron Submarine Vet.

Ancestry says the roll number if M432_67. M432 is the number for the 1850 census. 67 is the roll number.

When I go to the 1850 census there the only William Reeves (using Wm Reeves as the name as that is how he appears) that comes up is one born in 1828. The one I want (Wm Reeves b. 1798 in SC) does not come up as a hit.

Hi List, I am having my usual problems trying to find a census page on HQ that is illegible on Ancestry. This is for Wm H (or D) Reeves in Cross Keys, DeKalb, GA in 1850. When I go to HQ and select the Search by Page option, choose 1850, Roll M432, and page 111 (which is what is stamped on the Ancestry page) it tells me I've entered in wrong criteria. Can anyone help? It looks like 1850 is not available on Fold3 so I don't know my options. Thanks, Barton

I can only suggest you fight your way thru the hits at Fulton History http://fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html website of old papers, mostly upstate NY titles. There are over 5,000 but they give a tiny snip of what the article is about so you can try his wifes name and hope to limit that way.
