Several people recently posting to the list indicate their primary way of researching is to type names into this or other lists. Once in a while, one may be lucky, but often it leads to frustration. I offer a few simple suggestions. Obviously, many more could be given. 1. Start from what you know and move back one generation at a time. Interview older family and friends and tape or write down everything they say. Mistakes can be corrected, but at least you may have some names and locations to start from. No fact is too small to note down --address on a letter, signature on an old card, place of employment, country of origin, etc. 2. Contact a local county or municipal office in the area where your ancestor lived. Often they can give you the name of a local historian, historical society, etc. that might have local history material. Get those names and addresses and contact the people. Frequently a phone call followed by a letter works best as some of their volunteers receive many requests. Search the materials yourself if at all possible. Check out land records and wills in the geographical area if possible. Sometimes these historical societies sell histories of some of the small towns which might include your ancestors. 3. Local historical societies often have lists of people buried in small area cemeteries. DAR chapters often cataloged small cemeteries around 1930 for genealogical purposes. If you find your family name, then you might want to see the tombstone itself for further detail since often the total inscriptions may not have been copied and the placement of the tombstones may give clues as well. 4. A large public library with a local history section can be your best ally. The amount of information can be unbelievable -- city directories, census microfilms, early town vital records, family genealogies, various collections of family pedigrees from certain time periods or geographical areas. Check out a "how to" book on genealogy which will give you lots of ideas. A local LDS center can also offer pedigree charts, census films and a variety of other materials depending on its size. You don't have to be of their faith. 5. When you do access this list give in your message the geographical area along where your ancestor lived, if known. Include approximate dates even if you have no exact dates. I find common surnames at times, but if no dates, places, etc. are included, it is hard to provide any help. 6. Don't forget to thank the people who provide information and help others who ask you for information. Keep careful track of your sources as often you need to go back and consult the same source for more information. Verify everything you get from someone else's family tree. We all make mistakes no matter how careful we try to be. Hope this helps. This is a wonderful hobby, made better when we all share. Sincerely, Margaret Scheffler

Anna LOVELACE Born: March 28, 1842 in Maumee City, Ohio Married: Lewis LINCOLN on October 29, 1875 (place unknown, but believed to have been in either Indiana or Southern Illinois). Anna was Lewis LINCOLN's second wife and quite younger than he. I have no knowledge of any children they might have had, but I suspect that there were none, at least none who survived infancy. Died: June 10, 1927 in Carbondale (Jackson County) Illinois Buried: Woodlawn Cemetery, Carbondale, IL, Lot 58 *************************************** Unfortunately, the above is ALL the information I have on Anna. This information was found in a family bible I inherited. I know this is a long shot, but I am trying to find out more about Anna. I will appreciate any leads you might have, but at any rate, I do appreciate your time reading this. Good luck with your search. Best wishes, Karima

WOODSON C. BOOTH m. Mary Pace.Was in Elbert County, Georgia in 1845 and 1851, according to documents. Could possibly have been in Dade County, Georgia around time of Civil War. Thanks Anne Booth

Someone sent me a brochure on a new book "Our Native Heath" by Myrtle N. Bridges, and it lists many, many surnames. The book contains 416 pages, 60 page index and almost 10,000 individual names. Would someone please check the NC Archives and see it they have a copy - and please do look ups. I refuse to buy any more books unless I am positive my lines are in them. Thank you, Diane

Hi Norm, I'd be glad to send you the gedcom from those cd's. Is the e-mail address correct? Anyone else needing a lookup? I have vol 1-12 and would be glad to send the gedcom if you have the tree # you need. Betty [email protected]

Would someone please send me the portions relating to Lindner and Schnelker contained in Tree #2995 of World Family Tree Vol. 10? I understand some portion of it may also exist in Vol. 3, Tree 5723. Thanks for your help. Norm B

Here is a surname registry that is worth checking out. Connect With Surnames http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/7708 There is a lot of things there. You can list up to 15 surnames, or if you join the webring that is for websites listed at the surname registry, then you can list 25 surnames. There is a page that lists surname webrings, such as the Hoffman or Hines. Sincerely, A.B.

SEGRIST, Bartholomaus (What's the abbreviation for Switzerland?) Hi! Looking for anyone else out there who is researching the Segrist/Secrist family of Lancaster County, PA. Bartholomaus Segrist and Eve were Swiss Mennonites who arrived at Philadelphia Sept. 27, 1727 on the ship "James Goodspeed" and settled in Earl Township, Lancaster County, PA. Bartholomaus Segrist/Secrist d. 1768; m. Eve d. 1792 Sons: Lorentz, Solomon, Bartholomew, John Daus: Barbara (m. Michael Zug), Susanna, Eve If anyone else is researching this family, would love to share info. Ginette

Hope you realize what a prize your husband is.!!!

I agree with everything you said Renee' except one. I have read--and KEPT almost 4000 messages and probably responded to at least 500 of them in the past 3 weeks. That does not count the ones that were duplicated that I deleted. I have spent from 10 to 14 hours a day at this computer during that time, and have not been able to find one connection to my family lines. My sweet new husband has done all the cooking and all the dishes during that time and left me here when I would have rather been on the road with him, so that I could do some research. I have had many offers of help but so far, no one has found anything I can use. I wish it were as easy as "scanning." I read as much as I possibly can until my eyes cross!! :) T. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have an Actually Better Day. Please Visit http://www.wimall.com/talonwhisler Don't forget to sign the Guestbook!
