Hello, Our friend and our foremost Stogsdill family researcher has left us. Carlton Stogsdill passed away this last Monday. The last message I received from Carlton was full of wonderful new insights into our family's history. Carlton was enjoying the beach and sand in Florida at the time he wrote the message; and was so looking forward to doing more research into our family's history and their migration routes. I have his last message and am still using it to compare what David A. Sturgill has written on the Stogsdill family; and what Carlton had found to be true in his own research of our family surname. Please keep Carlton's family and friends in your Prayers; and I hope we will all work together to keep alive Carlton's sharing spirit and the joy he found in doing family research. Donna, Thank You for letting me know of Carlton's passing and please know that you and the rest of Carlton's family are in my thoughts and Prayers. Sincerely, Ramona Gayle Bayes Woods<mailto:[email protected]> List Mom for [email protected] List Mom for [email protected]

Good Morning, This was sent by Laura Johnson to the Listowners list at Rootsweb.com and has some great research tips to use in our family research. I wish everyone a Wonderful New Year. Sincerely, Ramona List Mom for: Bayes-Kidder-Stogsdill-Sturges Sturgess-Sturgill-KYMORGANHISTORY at Rootsweb.com Ramona Gayle Bayes Woods [email protected] Reprinted with permission of Roy Eastes (see end of message) Hi Everyone! Happy New Year! This suggestion is not only for new family history researchers but it also serves to jiggle the minds of us old timers too! Let's all make a resolution to help eliminate errors in our family history In December 1999, I wrote the following article to help increase the awareness of the many pitfalls found in genealogical resources. I am submitting this again to remind us all of our responsibilities toward perpetuating the truth and accuracy in our historical records. (Reprint) HOW ACCURATE ARE OUR RECORDS? By LeRoy F. Eastes 3 December 1999 When we record our heritage we take great pride in looking at our list of ancestors and admire their origins, migrations and accomplishments. But, what good is it - unless it's true? In recent years there are more and more genealogical assumptions and misleading information being circulated due the coming of the internet. I know most of it is unintentional, as I have found myself guilty of doing the same thing in the past. This innocent practice comes about by picking up information that is not documented or if it is we don't check the validity of the references. Then with all good intentions, we record it and pass it on not knowing if it is true or not! An element of error has always existed in genealogical research. If we look closely at public documents, errors have been found in almost every type of legal record that ever existed. Wills, marriage, birth, land, court and military records. Many times these are the results of human error but some have been intentionally induced for a variety of personal reasons. The coming of the internet has been a great boon for genealogical research. At the same time it's multiplying errors and is out of control like a contagious disease. There are many individuals and organizations that collect files from donors everywhere they can be found, which in itself is fine. Unfortunately, not all of these records are correct. Many do not show any documentation, others are found with misleading and often inaccurate information and references. Also unfortunately, some researchers are too eager to grab the first thing that "sounds reasonable" and treat it as a gospel fact. These records are copied by the unwary, passed on to an untold number of others, accepted as fact and the problem is perpetuated into the future. . There is nothing wrong with recording and passing along estimates of dates, places and even theories and stories. This is where we find the key elements that lead to the true picture of the past. However, information of this nature must be recognized and treated as such by all of us. This is a very serious problem and recognized by the National Genealogical Society. They felt it to so important they published a Special Edition to their quarterly publication, titled, "Evidence" - Volume 87, 3 September 1999. The following are the Standards recommend by the Society and can be found on the internet at - http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/ (I suggest everyone take a look at Consumer Relations while on this site) Standards For Sound Genealogical Research (Recommended by the National Genealogical Society) Remembering always that they are engaged in a quest for truth, family history researchers consistently - - record the source for each item of information they collect. - test every hypothesis or theory against credible evidence, and reject those that are not supported by the evidence. - seek original records, or reproduced images of them when there is reasonable assurance they have not been altered, as the basis for their research conclusions. - use compilations, communications and published works, whether paper or electronic, primarily for their value as guides to locating the original records. - state something as a fact only when it is supported by convincing evidence, and identify the evidence when communicating the fact to others. - limit with words like "probable" or "possible" any statement that is based on less than convincing evidence, and state the reasons for concluding that it is probable or possible. - avoid misleading other researchers by either intentionally or carelessly distributing or publishing inaccurate information. - state carefully and honestly the results of their own research, and acknowledge all use of others work. - recognize the collegial nature of genealogical research by making their work available to others through publication, or by placing copies in appropriate libraries or repositories, and by welcoming critical comment. - consider with open minds new evidence or the comments of others on their work and the conclusions they have reached. ©1997 by National Genealogical Society. Permission is granted to copy or publish this material provided it is reproduced in its entirety, including this notice This is followed by two more sections titled: - Standards for Using Records Repositories And Libraries. - Standards For Use Of Technology In Genealogical Research. I encourage everyone to consider these guide lines. All of us who are searching for our ancestors should make an attempt to minimize the possibility of errors. If we don't, our children's children will be led down false trails and they will never be able to find their true heritage. Le Roy F. Eastes Ph (228) 832-2214 17271 Lowery Rd Gulfport, MS 39503 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When we record our heritage we take great pride in looking at our list of ancestors and admire their origins, migrations and accomplishments. But, what good is it - unless it's true? We need stories and rumors, they are great and often lead to the truth! BUT - Help eliminate errors. Don't take anything as Fact! Check references for validity! If we don't our children's children will be led down false trails and they will never be able to find their true heritage. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi - I would be happy for you to pass this message along to others and ask them to also pass it along! Many people don't realize the impact it has on future records when they collect unfounded data and pass along to Companies who sell undocumented information. Best Regards Roy Eastes, Gulfport, MS

Here's a | quick review of some highlights from the year; the list includes | links to save for future reference. | | RESOURCES AT ANCESTRY.COM | | Incredibly, the "Ancestry Daily News" has grown from just under | 250,000 subscribers at the beginning of 2000 to more than 1 MILLION | subscribers today. | | In March, Ancestry.com also launched its online reference Library | (http://www.ancestry.com/learn/library/main.htm), which now holds | more than 3,000 articles that have been published in "Ancestry" | Magazine, "Genealogical Computing," and the "Ancestry Daily News," as | well as online columnist articles. The Library is one of the largest | collections of family history instructional information on the | Internet and can be freely browsed by category, author, date, column, | or article title; it is a powerful resource for both beginner and | expert genealogists. See the next section of this newsletter for a | sampling of articles from the past year. | A number of other free resources have also been added to the site in | the past year, including: | | --- ONLINE FAMILY TREE (http://www.ancestry.com/oft). A free, easy- | to-use application that lets people create online family trees from | scratch or by downloading a GEDCOM file. | | --- RESEARCH REGISTRY | (http://www.ancestry.com/share/research/main.htm). Allows users to | create a profile of themselves that includes a summary of their | research interests. This also makes it easy for those with similar | research interests to contact each other. | | --- Surname Communities | (http://www.ancestry.com/share/surname/main.htm). Surname centers | that bring surname-specific resources together in one place. | Information is gathered from the FamilyHistory.com message boards, | Online Family Trees, the Ancestry World Tree, MyFamily.com Web sites, | and Ancestry.com databases. | | And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Ancestry.com now has more | than 1 BILLION records posted online! You can browse all of the | titles by record type at | http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/main.htm; do a search of all | of them at once using the Advanced Search page at | http://www.ancestry.com/search/main.htm; or search by locality at | http://www.ancestry.com/search/locality/main.htm. | | In July of 2000, Ancestry.com also unveiled its Images Online | project, which has taken online family history to a new and exciting | level by making original source documents available online. More than | 2.5 million images of original Civil War pension index cards were the | first offerings. Later, the U.S. Federal Census Population Schedules | (1790-1920)--powerful research cornerstones that touch almost every | American family--also began to be added to the site. You can see | which census images (as well as other offerings) are available today | through Images Online at http://www.ancestry.com/search/io/main.htm. | MYFAMILY.COM | | Ancestry.com's sister site, MyFamily.com (http://www.myfamily.com), | continues to be a hit with family historians seeking a way to share | their family history on free, private sites--not to mention those who | want to stay connected with living family members. A MyFamily.com | site allows users to post family tree data (by downloading a GEDCOM | file or by creating a GEDCOM from scratch), exchange information, | chat in real time, post photographs and scans of documents, and much | more--all on a secure, password protected site. | | These sites give researchers a distinct advantage when they are | working anywhere with Internet access, because they put all of a | researcher's family history data just a mouse click away! | | ROOTSWEB | | In June of this year, RootsWeb (http://www.rootsweb.com), the oldest | and largest free community genealogy site, joined the MyFamily.com | network of sites, allowing RootsWeb to continue with the many | valuable services it provides free to all users. These services | include the WorldConnect Project (a set of tools that allow users to | upload, modify, link, and display their family trees as a means to | share their work with other researchers), more than 20,000 mailing | lists, free databases, message boards, Web site hosting, research | guides, and more. | | RootsWeb.com | http://www.rootsweb.com | | WorldConnect Project | http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/ | | RootsWeb Mailing Lists | http://lists.rootsweb.com/ | | RootsWeb Databases | http://searches.rootsweb.com/ | | RootsWeb Message Boards | http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/ | | RootsWeb's Guide to Tracing Family Trees | http://rwguide.rootsweb.com/ | | You can keep up with the newest resources at RootsWeb by subscribing | to two weekly newsletters: "RootsWeb Review" and "Missing Links." | Subscribe at the home page at http://www.rootsweb.com. | | IN THE COMMUNITY | | Ancestry.com continues to support non-profit organizations in the | genealogical community. This year it gave substantial donations to | organizations like the National Genealogical Society and the | Federation of Genealogical Societies. Ancestry.com also sponsored | workshops for the American Library Association and the Newberry | Library in Chicago and continues to maintain the FGS Society Hall | (online at http://www.familyhistory.com), which helps publicize the | great works done by genealogical and historical organizations across | the United States and around the world. | | MYFAMILY.COM, INC. | | Apart from these advances, MyFamily.com, Inc., Ancestry.com's parent | company, also had a few other milestones this year. It was joined by | two other new companies--ThirdAge.com and Ah-ha.com. And by fall, it | moved up in the Nielson/Net Ratings list to take its place among the | world's top 15 Web sites (in number of visitors each day). | | All of these advances at Ancestry.com and its sister sites give us | reason to celebrate as we look back on a milestone year for online | genealogy.

Hello Fellow Researchers, Happy Thanksgivng to you and your family from me and mine. Sincerely, Ramona mail to [email protected] List Mom for: Bayes-Kidder-Stogsdill-Sturges Sturgess-Sturgill-KYMorganHistory @Rootsweb.com

I have been at the library all day looking for information on Lucinda Stogsdill that lived in Cabool, MO and I found this article it is dated August 16 1928. I though that I would pass it on to the list so in the future if some one comes across anything they will know what was being said. It states that Neighborhood quarrels which might disclose a motive for the malicious poisonings of the family have been investigated. Joe McGehee had been accused of turning in parties who were charged with manufacturing moonshine in the neighborhood. Considerable enmity was aroused over the shearing of the manes and tails of horses belonging to a brother-in-law of Joe McGehee. This happened 2 years ago 2 boys were charged and convicted and fined for it, and Mrs. Grace Weatherman ( Lucinda's daughter that was killed) was the States chief witness. It is also reported that an enemy of the McGehee family stated during the sickness' that " I know what is the matter with them. They have been poisoned, and they are getting just what is coming to them". Both the blood of Mrs. McGehee and Mrs. Weatherman have showed no signs of a chemical poisoning. I am following this lead now. I am hoping that when I get the court papers that it will tell me who the courts were looking at for this crime. Jamie
