Hi... Thanks for your response. Perhaps a bit of clarification is required. My personal position is that I am, as an "Irish" Strong, interested in researching first, my own genealogy, which is a problem because of the infamous Four Courts Fire which occurred in Dublin, Ireland in 1922. Secondly, I am interested in the overall concept of tracing ALL Strong(e)/Strang(e) genealogy back as far as possible. It is my personal belief that the surnames involved EVOLVED from the Breton-Norman surname "leStrange", which was carried to England from France with the troops of William the Conquerer in 1066 AD. There are vast possibilities for variations within that theme, and a few questions will point up some of them... 1) How did the name get to Scotland, where it generally devolves Strang->Strange->Strong? 2) How to explain the Strang(e)s of Denmark and Sweden... were they also derivatives from leStrange? 3) Can we document "name-change" events which show evolution of the name from leStrange -> Strange -> Stronge -> Strong? 4) How can we trace the names "back" across the oceans from America/Canada/Australia/New Zealand/Africa/India/Europe to England and France? You will note that if my interpretation is correct, Strange is the "senior" of the names Strong or Strange... BUT it is junior to leStrange! However, I am NOT inclined to engage in silly games of "one-up-manship". It doesn't matter who is senior. What does matter is that we cooperate to trace the genealogy involved. It is a massive undertaking. Just because the Strong-List was started by a "Strong" doesn't make the List or the Strong Genealogy Network devoted primarily to "Strong" vs leStrange vs Strang or Strange. It is up to the individual members of the list to set out their genealogy, their research info and theories, and to persue discussion. Frankly, I don't know anything about Lot or Marey Strange. But, I hope that you will not become discouraged by lack of input from others at the moment.... Keep bringing up your interests... sooner or later someone will hopefully make a connection which will help you and indirectly help us all. One suggestion.... Now that John R. Mayer is no longer with us, I urge all "Strange" researchers to try to exert a bit of extra effort to help steer that area of the research. Take John's "Extraneus" and build on it! It is what John would have wanted, and indeed, he gave us all a great gift in compiling and recording all of the information contained in the Extraneus series of books.... That was one of his goals, to give us all something to build on! Indirectly, the foregoing discussion underlines the need for the Strong-List and the Strong Genealogical Network. We all need to cooperate in the research. The list and network give us some structure for doing so... Let us each do our part to keep it operating smoothly! Thanks, David B.

Hello David, I just finished reading and absorbing your message "Position Paper: Strong Genealogical Network and Rootsweb Strong-List". Your message is most informative and I thank you and everyone mentioned for your combined efforts. As a point of clarification, I signed onto the Stronge rootsweb in hopes of learning more of my direct ancestor Marey Strange. I am under the impression there are a lot more Strongs than Stranges on this list but I remain listed in the event more information on Strange appears. Also, I have seen some discrepancies on the Strong Gen Forum relative to Lot Strange. I have also noticed in most work that Marey Strange is listed as "Mary" with a couple of references as "Marcy". One reference I have researched listed her as "Marey" which prompted me to get the original record from the Town of Freetown Birth record page 108 (transcription follows). After reading the original record and comparing to olde English, I interpret Mary as Marey and not Marcy. It is certainly not "Mary". I have also given Keith Hume (Chase/Hume lineage a certified copy). I would like further discussion of my interpretation and hope my contribution will help fellow Strong/Strange researchers. Elizabeth Lanord (Beth) Lot Strange the first of Freetown was born ye March 4th, 1699 Hannah Strange the wife of the sd Lot Strange was born February 24th, 1701 Lot Strange the Son of the above sd Lot Strange and Hannah wife was born May the 10th, 1720 Philip Strange daughter of the above sd parent was born October ye 2th, 1722 John Strange was born Februry the 25th, 1724 Marey Strange was born November the 14th 1725 Abigail Strange was born September ye 24 year 1727 Jacob Strange was born January ye 3th 1729 Mallatiah Strange was born September ye 24th 1732 Joseph Strange was born Jananery ye 3th 1729 and cesed this life May ye 6th 1730 Johnanah Strange was born August the 10th 1734 The first mentioned Lot Strange died June the 6th 1786 in the 88th year of his age Lot Strange ye 3rd son of Lot Strange ye 2d and Abigail his wife was born in February ye 27th 1745

The Disciples of Christ (Christian Church) has an historical society with a web page: http://users.aol.com/dishistsoc/index.html In a nutshell, it is a highly non-authoritarian, egalitarian church. Pastors are elected. The only authority is the bible, and a person's relationship with the diety is between the diety and that person, not between the person and the church. Considering how authoritarian early churches were (and some still today), it is no wonder that Alexander Campbell was seen as a revolutionary.

Hi In my grandmother's writings I found a list of names. She describes them simply as our Strong relatives in Indiana. She didn't have any dates or places or spouses. Maybe some of you know of these names. I would love to hear from anyone with any information. Winfield Strong Willa Strong Elsie Strong Veleta Strong Mattie Strong There is one note on a Winfield S. Strong of Franklin County Ohio from the 1870 census. I don't know if it is the same one or not. Thanks Constance

This is in the nature of a position statement regarding the Strong Genealogical Network. It has been developed in an attempt to help give some direction to the Members of the Rootsweb Strong-List, as we contemplate the future. Robert T. Strong, Jr., the "founder" of the Strong-List, has indicated his intention to "unsubscribe" in order that he may devote his time to completion of his book re the Southern Strongs of the United States. We all owe a debt of thanks to BoB for his herculean efforts in bringing the Strong-List into being. Some of us "jumped aboard" early, back in the days when the list was carried on the Maiser server at the University of Indiana... before the big "server crash", which caused the termination of the Maiser service and transfer of the list to the Rootsweb Cooperative. BoB took us through all of that trauma, kept the list going, subscribing and unsubscribing participants, drawing out "lurkers", giving leadership and direction to the group. He was one of the "instigators" of the amorphous network of web sites we now call the "Strong Genealogical Network". Continuously, through generous application of his inate "Southern Charm" and considerable academic research qualifications, he has helped point us at a general goal of sharing and expanding our knowledge of Strong/Strange/L'Estrange/Straughn/etc., genealogy. Now that BoB needs to move on, so we remaining members of the Strong-List must move on as well. It may be helpful to re-examine our goals. I think there are at least four goals of the Strong Genealogical Network and members of the Rootsweb Strong-List: 1) Free Collection and dissemination of family history data to all researchers, putting all information available into the public forum for discussion, etc. Any errors can be corrected through group contribution and work. 2) Inform descendants about historical family places and sites. 3) Keep everyone informed about Strong/Strange/L'Estrange, etc., family history, goals, activities. 4) Establish a convenient forum and place to discuss and store our various family history. Back in mid-1997, when we were discussing the idea of creating the Strong Genealogical Network, there were several points which were developed: 1) We all have to be willing to share our research and put it out in public view for comment, critique, and further revision and input from others. That is part of the time honored "Socratic Method" of education... it is a suystem of researching for the true facts by testing theories through exposure to questioning by others... if the theory stands up under questioning, it may be accepted until something better comes along. A problem with the method is that we all tend to take pride in our research and theories, and our feelings get brised in the give and take of questioning under fire, One of the ways of protecting ourselves is to have sources and details supporting our theories throroughly documented and recorded. 2) We all need to be willing to disclose information and theories, some of which are perhaps not fully developed or "ready", in a manner with which we can feel comfortable. In an academic setting, "publication" is the manner traditionally used to expose one's theories... publication in a recognized periodical or book format. Many of us have toyed with the thought that we would like to publish a book presenting what we have developed withour research. One of the problems with this modernly in the cost of publication... which must be weighed against the marketability of teh "book" once it is published. Realistically, the cost probably far out strips the market for the publication. That leaves us all with three alternatives... (1) do nothing; (2) publish a book anyway, and bear the cost ourselves, or (3) share the information with anyone who is intereseted by whatever other means are out there... and in our case the means available for use is the internet. Several of the members of the Strong-List have put the above goals and concepts into action through development of the Strong Genealogical Network. When first discussed, the initial thought was to try to put together a central repository for all data, etc. William L. "Bill" Strong and others pointed out that the size of the computer storage needed for such a centralized approach would be enormous, it would be cost prohibitive, slow to operate, and require the full time efforts of one or more individuals to construct and maintain. Bill's suggestion, which has turned out to be the right one, was to decentralize the concept... create several web sites, each created and maintained by various individuals, and each with a differing "piece of the pie" to present. The decentralized, or distributed Strong Genealogical Network, takes advantage of available computer storage capacity on servers used by individual members of the Strong-List (such as BoB Strong's Renaisance Operation (?), or "ro.com") or supported by advertising, such as Geocities and Tripod. The cost of the storage is supported by the individual member, or by the advertisers. Each Web Site Manager has responsibility for the content of his/her own site, and the freedom to manage it anyway he/she wishes... devoting as much or as little time as they wish... and carrying the expense in time and money as they wish. The current Strong Genealogy Network member web sites are as follows: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) The Strong Genealogy Network Home Page, constructed, managed and operated by William L. "Bill" Strong, providing a central directory of the network, links and a forum for posting research inquiries. 2) Strong Quest by Robert T. (BoB) Strong, maintaining the Strong-List, providing research links, and directions to various Gedcom repositories, etc. 3) Strong Roots Database, providing abbreviated GEDCOMs, by Jim Gilbert & BoB Strong. 4) Strong/Strange Research in Britain & Ireland, by David B. Strong, providing a manuscript on researching Strong(e)/Strang(e)s in Britain and Ireland, together with an Irish database and a Lineage Directory 5) Archives of the Strong Family Mail List by Russell Laird, indexing the messages exchanged on the old Maiser server. 6) The Strange Home Page of the late John R. Mayer (September 16, 1952 - March 31, 1998), linked with the John R. Mayer Memorial Web Page and Outline of his major genealogical work, "Extraneus". 7) The Strong Family Association of America (SFAA) Home Page by Martha Strong, concentrating on matters of interest to descendants of "Elder" John Strong of New England, managed by Martha Strong, in cooperation with Robert S. Strong, and others. 8) Welcome To My World, by Martha Strong, concentrating on research in Southwest Engand and New England. 9) Ship's Captains - Strang, Strange, Strong, Stronge, etc. by Tracy Vickers, collecting information about mariner Strongs and Ship Passengers. 10) The Strong Genealogy Forum, independantly providing a place to post inquiries and information about research interests. To become part of the network, a web site should satisfy all the following criteria: a) the site provides information of value to Strong, Strang, Strange, etc. researchers b) it is generic, i.e it is not restricted to a single line of Strongs c) it contains links to all the other sites on the Strong Genealogy Network d) it does not require a membership or other fee: its use is free The RootsWeb Strong-List is a key component in the operation of the Strong Genealogical Network. The RootsWeb concept involves the "Ownership" of the List by a single individual. Robert T. "BoB" Strong was the original List Owner. Some time ago, Theresa Lang volunteered to replace BoB as List Owner for RootsWeb purposes. The List is Co-Managed on a revolving basis by volunteer managers who take on the responsibilty on a revolving monthly basis. Theresa Lang and Russell Laird, and now Kimberly (Tallmon) Knutson, are the volunteers who have taken on this responsibility. One of the reasons for this Position Paper is that there is a critical and urgent need for additional subscribers to volunteer to assist as Co-Managers. The duty of the Co-Manager is primarily to manage daily administrative details, such as assisting folks to subscribe or to cancel their subscriptions, especially when they send their commands to "STRONG-L" rather than to "STRONG-L-request". This can be done in about 30 minutes per day. The total transactions (subscriptions plus cancellations) have been totaling less than two per day: about 50 per month. Most of these require no intervention by the Co-Manager. We have accomplished much in the past two years... coming from a "fledgling" list on the Maiser Server, to 164 members on the RootsWeb Server, and ten general purpose Strong Genealogical Network Websites, plus numerous personal website maintained by individual members of the List and others. We have made a major step forward in presenting our collective research; and in providing directions and assistance for members and others who are interested in Strong/Strange Genealogical Research. The Strong-List and Strong Genealogical Network is a major volunteer cooperative, developed, maintained and managed by it's members... some of whom are able to be more active than others, but which is open to any level of participation when and as interested individuals are able to act. The foregoing is a summary attempt to state our present position. I invite the members of the Strong-List to use this position paper as a basis for further discussion and development. I suggest that we need to: 1) develop some coordinated efforts at research of original records which have not yet been "touched". 2) continue to improve and expand our existing Strong Genealogical Network. 3) encourage individual members to come forward to assume managerial roles for the RootsWeb Strong-List. 4) encourage individual members to establish their own websites, sharing their information with the rest of us. 5) continue to monitor technological developments which will assist us in improving the network and the research. 6) assist members and others in learning about and using and applying computer hardware and software which is available for use in researching and presenting the genealogy involved. 7) provide for long-term management and direction of the Strong-List and Strong Genealogical Network. Please consider how YOU can help make this an action plan! Share your ideas with us! Help! Respectfully, David B.

Dear Constance: Take courage, sounds like Winfield in the 1870 census is a great opportunity for research. Sorry I do not have a connection for you. But order that census right away, it is amazing how one clue will lead you to another. Good hunting, Carla Davenport

Kimberly, Many thanks, and welcome aboard... Like BoB said, if you need anything, my e-door is always open. Russell Robert T. (Bob) Strong, Jr. 119 Mystic Way Madison, AL 35757-8801 ================================================= CO-MANAGERS, Strong Mail List: Robert T. Strong <[email protected]> (SEP 98) LaRee Nooner <[email protected]> (OCT 98) Theresa Lang <[email protected]> (NOV 98) Russell Laird <[email protected]> (DEC 98) =================================================

========================================================= Date: Tue, 01 Sep 1998 07:29:16 -0600 From: Kimberly Knutson <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Co-Managers, Strong Mail List To: [email protected] Bob, I don't have much genealogy experience or a very free schedule but if it only takes 1/2 hour I bet I could keep up for 1 month at time. You can add me as a Co-Manager. Kimberly (Tallmon) Knutson TALLMON STRONG GREEN LEBO DAVISON EMMONS MARK ECKMAN ============================================================ TO: Kimberley Knutson and ALL Thanks you immensely for volunteering to serve as a rotating Co-Manager of the Strong Mail List, Kimberly. You will be my replacement. Your volunteering certainly makes my "resignation" less painful for me. After I posted the message requesting additional volunteers I received a message from LaRee Nooner stating that she planned to re-subscribe to the Strong Mail List soon and would be available to serve as Co-Manager for the month of October, 1998. So a revised schecule is included in a footer to this message, subject to the approval of the List Owner, Theresa Lang. Based on the current schedule, you would not be "on tap" until January, Kimberly. In addition to receiving notifications of new subscriptions and cancelled subscriptions, the Co-Manager also receives all "error messages", many of which are for "bounced" messages. Most of these notices of bounced messages can be immediately deleted from your message editor/reader with no further action. Today, for example, William L. (Bill) Strong's Internet Service Privider, "netinc.ca", appears to be offline so all of his messages from the Strong Mail List are being bounced. In most instances the ISP does not stay offline from more than a few hours, so the problem usually resolves itself. There is no need to try to send copies of the bounced messages to the persons who did not receive them as the messages are immediately archived and can be retrieved from the archives by the person if they so desire. This could be done by entering a date into the search criteria, which might look like this example: "1 and SEP and 98". Alternatively a Digest Number could be entered. After an X number of regular messages or a Y number of Digests are bounced, the person is automatically unsubscribed by the Rootsweb server. X and Y are set by the List Owner in a special Customization (configuration) file on the Rootsweb server that controls each surname or regional mail list. An automated notice should be sent to the unsubscribed person (but it will probably bounce, too). The worst that can happen is that a person is removed from the Strong Mail List prematurely and must re-subscribe. In the past I have had a little difficulty keeping track of these automated cancellations. Since I will no longer be keeping such records, that is no longer a problem. Most administrative details can be taken care of online at Rootsweb, but a password is required to access these utilities. You will be notified of the password and the URL in a private message. After you receive your password you can sign onto the web site and browse around to familiarize yourself leisurely. Just don't reset anything in the Customization (Configuration) file without consulting with the List Owner. Don't hesitate to communicate with Theresa or Russ or me about any questions you may have. Russ operates his own Laird Mail List, so he is the most experienced of our group as a List Owner and/or List Manager. As I stated in my earlier message, the more Co-Managers there are, the easier it becomes on each one. Four Co-Managers are adequate, but five or six would be even better! Additional volunteers are desired. Usually there is a Co-Manager who can substitute for the Co-Manager of the Month, if that person needs to take a trip, etc. For example, Russ might possibly need temporary relief in the month of December. Thanks again, Kimberly! "BoB T." Robert T. (Bob) Strong, Jr. 119 Mystic Way Madison, AL 35757-8801 ================================================= CO-MANAGERS, Strong Mail List: Robert T.

Back on February 5th, 1997 I posted an e-mail detailing the first couple of generations of descendants of James Strong, Sr. who was born in 1709 in Ireland and died in 1779 in Chester Co., South Carolina. That e-mail was somewhat in response to an e-mail that Bob Strong posted on 2 Feb 1997 that detailed some of the descendants of Christopher Strong and his wife Jeanette Symington. A couple of months back I was asked if I could repost that e-mail. Well it has taken me longer than I hoped it would, but later is better than never, right?

Just read your message on Elliotts and Donegal. Very interesting. Yes, I will go home and check this out with the records I have over the next two days and get back to you. I have Griffith's Valuation for lower Donegal and the 1901 census for same area. That should do it. Patty first time I'm sending a message on this -- hope it goes through! Guess it's going to everyone who's interested. ---DBS &/or MD <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Connie... > > Thanks for the reponse...

Hi BoB!, and Everyone else, Too! Thanks, BoB, for reminding me about the Benjamin Dwight material re John Strong of Cumberland Co. KY... I have included it in the latest revision to Chapter 13, The Lineages Directory, which I just posted this morning... Does anyone out there know any of the history of the Disciples of Christ... specifically, why were they called "Campbellites"?.... Were they a Presbyterian "sect" which later became independant altogether??? By the Way, several folks have given me inputs for revisions to The Lineage Directory... I have tried to include them all, but am aware that I have overlooked/misplaced a few of my notes. I would appreciate your assistance in pointing out anything I have overlooked! {:-)!

=================================================== Russell L. (Russ) Laird <[email protected]> deserves your thanks for serving as Co-Manager for the Strong Mail List for the month of August, despite a very busy work schedule and other family responsibilities. LaRee Nooner had been sheduled to serve as Co-Manager in Septemeber but, since she has not re-subscribed since taking a vacation trip in June, I will be serving in September, instead. Previously I have announced that I will be cancelling my subscription to the Strong Mail List effective after my current "tour of duty" as Co-Manager. Due to significant health problems, I feel obligated to devote my energies to completing the preparation of my genealogical notes for publication, probably on the World Wide Web. I will continue to be actively engaged in the maintenance of my two Strong web sites plus the Strong Roots Database in collaboration with James (Jim) Gilbert. This will leave only two Co-Managers: Theresa Land and Russell Laird. There is a critical and urgent need for a two or more subscribers to volunteer to assist as Co-Managers. The duty of the Co-Manager is primarily to manage daily administrative details, such as assisting folks to subscribe or to cancel their subscriptions, especially when they send their commands to "STRONG-L" rather than to "STRONG-L-request". This can be done in about 30 minutes per day. The total transactions (subscriptions plus cancellations) have been totaling less than two per day: about 50 per month. Most of these require no intervention by the Co-Manager. Want you please help!!! Contact the List Owner, Theresa Lang <[email protected]> if your are willing to volunteer. Russ and I are available to discuss this with you or, if you volunteer, to provide advice if and when needed. The more people who volunteer, the less often each has to serve as the Co-Manager of the Month. The current rotation schedule, revised, is posted in a footer to this message. Any assistance will be most gratefully appreciated by the current "staff" of the Strong Mail List. I feel assured that some natural discussion leaders will emerge from within the group. Any subscriber can stimulate discussions. All it takes is a little effort. In the past we have been most fortunate to have informal discussion leaders such as John Richard Mayer [now deceased] and David B. (Dave) Strong. Dave has recently returned home from several months "on the road" and will likely be a more active participant in the discussions in the coming months. If you have a topic you would like to have discussed on the Strong Mail List, present it to the group in a message and see what happens. You might be pleasantly surprised! If you don't post your ancestor charts and your queries, you are not likely to receive much assistance in your personal research from other Strong Mail List subscribers. If it has been over three months since you last posted your query on the Strong Mail List, post it again with some changes that might attract attention, such as a more accurate Subject line. There are about 25-30 new subscribers, including re-subscribers each month, so there are probably many subscribers who have never seen you original post. Remember, the more details you share, the more likely someone will be able to recognize a connection to your family. And by sharing, your data becomes preserved in the archived messages. "BoB T."
